It used to be an accepted theory
that the business world has nothing to

people. AS long as man attended
honestly to his business occupation,
was true to his obligations and paid
his debts, that was considered suffi-

" went so far as to declare that the
business world has a right to know Of
any business man mot only where he
spends his days, but where he spends
his nights. It has right not only to
know his financial standing, but also
his status in the scale of social de-
cency. The man who is faithful to
the duties of his office and false to the

have his financial credit marked down

THESE BE PERILOUS TIMES
More trouble for the big corporations.
Inese autumn days, so full of life and
nealth Tor the great common people, are
fun OF bad dreams. lawsuits, sub
poenas and in1unctions for the railroad
magnates and oil kings. It is possible
that they confirm the scrfptural
prophecy that IN the last days peril
Gus times shall come.
A jury in F1ndlay, Ohio, is now de-
ioerating over the evidence in a case
against the Standard Oil company, and
there IS anxiety IN Wall street over the
outcome. It Is {. case which, If the ver-
dict Is adverse to the company it viii
mean that it must comply with the law
IN Ohio or get out Of the state. 1t is a
ridiculous proposition, viewed from the
Wall street standpoint that the Stand
ard OIL should be compelled to obey the
law of a little state like Ohio, but the
people have so many ridiculous notions
these days.
A jury in New York last night re-
turned verdict against the New York
central railroad company and against
it's traffic manager on the charge Of
granting rebates to the sugar trust.
Each defendant was convicted on six
counts, which means that each defend
ant may have to pay a fine OF $40, Goo
and the traffic manager may find II
necessary to go to jail Another ridicu-
lous proposition. viewed from the Wall
street standpoint. The idea Of a traffic
manager OF a great railroad going to
jail is so preposterous as to be deemed
impossible, but the things Wall stree
deemed impossible are being handed ont
in such large packages these days that
no one viii be surprised at what hap
pens.
The railroads in st. Paul were served
with subpoenas yesterday calling upon
them to appear before a special grand
jury in an investigation as to the rebate
business UP there. It is easy to see their
finish.
The interstate commerce commission
is digging up q lot of testimony at Chi
cago which shows that the railroads
are connected with the grain trust in
such an intimate manner that it Is diff
ficult to tell one from the other. and the
grain business is liable to be placed
upon upon foundation where man
can go into the country and buy wheat
from the farmers paying them what
ever the demand for wheat requires,
and the railroads be compelled to haul
that wheat to the market for the buyer.
Such a condition is viewed as nothing
short of a calamity by the railroads AMI
grain trust.
