PLEADS FOR STANDARD.
Attorney Kline Tells What a Great
Good Man Rockefeller Is.

F'indlay, O.. Oct. 1.-THE concluding
argument to the jury in the trial Of
the Standard Oil company of Ohio for
alleged conspiracy against trade was
begun today.
Mr. Kline for the. defense was expect
ed to occupy Two hours. Attorney Gen
eral Ellis viii follow and conclude for
the prosecution. Judge Banker will
then deliver his charge and the case
Will then go to the jury.
Il am glad to have the opportunity
to face jury in Hancock county, Mr.
Kline begun, "and discuss before you
the facts and fancies of this case
THE Standard Oil company stands
here charged with an offense against
the laws of the state of Ohio. It has
not replied to it's enemies. Its SANDER
ers, its foes, have been allowed to pass
unanswered, those ISLANDERS from the
pulpit perhaps. at times from the press
and from the streets.
1T would have been well for 1t per-
haps, to have answered. But all the
time it has attended to its business
faithfully and diligently. I have no
apology to make for the Standard Oil
company. With prosperity there comes
envy, with envy there comes hatred and
with hatred Misrepresentation and all
manner Of prejudice which is to be
found in the pathway of every man
who succeeds and every corporation
that succeeds.
Mr. Kline expressed his contempt for
the fauIt-1nders in the midst of the
greatest prosperity the country ever
knew.
Mr.. Kline remarked: Ct have no faith
in the man who stands in the gutter and
throws filth and dirt on the man who
has brought this prosperity about. It
is time we relegate the damagogue the
carper, the slanderer to the rear"
The beginning of the oil industry was
described, its founders being poor
young men starting in life as poor as
anybody who ever worked their way
from poverty to af1uence."
Mr. Kline made the point that the
FIVE men owning all the stock in a doz-
en- corporations have a right to manage
that property to the benefit Of the gem
eral interests.
If they have acquired property, it is
their right to manage it as they see fit
provided. of course they respect the
rights of others. There is nothing in
the Valentine law that prohibits such
mana cement by owners. Its object was
to prevent people who were competing
from combining so as not to compete.
Mr. Kline made a defense Of corpor-
ate enterprise and justified the devel-
Opment Of the Standard Oil company.
He dwelt particularly on the decision
of the supreme court of the state in
1888. declaring the trust dissolved and
said the Standard Oil company of Ohio
since November, 1892. had not been a
party to the trust agreement, conclu-
sive proof Of which he said was the
decision Of the supreme court referred

RAILROAD WINS FLOOD SUIT.
santa Fe Relieved of Responsibility
for Loss Of Car OF Clothing.

The suit in district court of Auerbach
& Guetel, proprietors of the Palace
Clothing company against the a. T. &
S. F railroad. was tried today, and a
verdict brought for the defendant. The
plaintiffs brought suit against the rail-
road company for $779 damages for the
loss on a car load of clothing shipped
to the Palace company from Chicago
in 1908. The car was caught in the Kaw
valley flood, while on a sidetrack in
Kansas City, and the goods damaged to
the extent named. The verdict for the
defendant follows the precedent es-
tablished during the 1903 food OF re-
lfeving railroads of food responsibility
on the grounds that the destruction was
a "dispensation of Providence"
Another suit of the same nature will
be tried tomorrow. N. Henry has
brought suit against the A. T. & S E.
for the loss Of a car load of house
hold goods shipped from st. Louis in
May. 1903. In his petition Henry claims
that he called for the goods on May 30.
1903. but that the railroad company
would not deliver them, although they
were standing on a sidetracx in Topeka.
and that the food which followed in
the next "A hours totally destroyed the
goods.

The McNeal-Reid art and oratory
combination Will take the road next

ticket.
T. 4. MeNeal will deliver the lecture
or campaign speech, and he viii be
followed by Albert 7. Reid, who Will
draw cartoons for some of the princi-
pal features of AIcNeaI's speech. In
the last campaign, when McNeal and
Reid toured the state together, Reid

Mr.. Reid will draw the pictures in
colored chalk on sheets of paper about
five feet square. He is arranging to
have his easel equipped with a pair Of
bicycle lamps which viii throw an in

I'VE had a good deal of trouble
about lights when we were out before,
said Mr.. Reid today. Sometimes we
had. to have somebody stand by me

know, the man with the lamp would
get interested in the pictures, and be-

Precipitation after finishing my even

In view of the arrangement for Nc
Neal and Reid to take the road to-
gether, it has become necessary for
part of MT. McNealss schedule of dates
to be changed. He viii have to cut
out some Of the dates already made, as
the committee has planned that the
T BfcNeal- Reid tour shall be confined
largely to the northwestern portion Of
the state. The dates which have been
arranged are as follows: Oct p,
Sterling; Oct. 90 Manhattan; Oct. "a,
Blue Rapids; Oct. Is. Clyde; Oct. 26,
HarVeyville; Oct. 81 Osawatomie;

Mr. McNeal was billed for a speech
at Gaienas on Oct. %, but this Will
have to be cancelled as it is impossi-
Bile for Mr.. McNea1 and Mr.. Reid to
get from Sterling to Galena and back
to Blue Rapids in time to fill every
date
This is generally conceded by the
Republican spellbinders to be a bad
year to get people out to attend poiiti-
lcal meetings. but it is likely that the
MeNeal-Reid combination viii have no
difficulty in getting the crowds. 1t is
about the most popular kind of q
