The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-05-10

From the New York Times.
The Standard Oil chiefs and the
railroad men who are SO prum pity
and vehemently denying the charges
made against them In Commissioner
Garfield's report are O bit incautious.
Ii seems 10 Us. IL these charges are
not true, then the President and Mr..
Garfield are the two worst fooled
men in the United States. II would
be highly unsafe for anybody TO as.
sumo that they have put themselves
in that position.
The President declares iu his mes.
sage that "the report shows that the
Standard Oil Company has benefited
enormously up almost to the present
moment by secret rates, many of
these secret rates being clearly un-
lawful"
Mr.. Garfield says that "the Stand
ard Oil Company has hRbitually re-
ceived from the railroads and is now
receiving secret rates and other un-
just and illegal Determinations"
He states that the facts regarding
freight rates were obtained by the
examinations Of thousands Of en-
tries upon railroad records"
Accordingly, the President in
forms Congress that the Department
of Justice "win take up the ques-
ton Of instituting prosecutions in
at least certain of the cases."
CANNOT AFFORD TO FAIL.
Now, If nothing comes of all this,
If it shall prove that after these dis.
closures and these declarations from
the highest authority In the land the
relations between the Standard Oil
Company and the railroads have not
been, in fact, unlawful, then Mr..
Garfield will be fatally discredited
and Mr.. Roosevelt will suffer ire
trievably in credit, influence and
popularity. The people will justly
accuse him Of footing them, Of in.
spring them with the delusive hope
that there was a great monopoly
caught redhanded, that at last the
government was going TO get the
law On one Of the guilty beneiicia-
ries Of secret rates and rebates, about
which there has been such a flood
of talk. 1t will be highly unsafe for
the railroads and tho Standard Oil
Company to proceed on the belief
that the President and his commits
sioner have u .luded themselves and
the people
WHERE TIE FACTS CAME FROM
MIR. Garfield'- report does not reat
like a document made up by string
ing together ba ,e .es, runI0rs and un
verifi Il gossip. He did not get facts
by peeping through keyholes or lis
teniDg t" the chattering of Office
boys. He got them from books OF
account. la courts of law books oil
account are accepted as evidence.
There can be no retreat now. The
President must 60 ahead. The peo-
pie would be justly angered by
fiasco like that Of the Star Route
prosecutions. If Mr.. Garfield is
right about his proofs the law has
been violated. If the administra-
tion is in earnest it must see to 1t
that the guilty are punished. The
persons suspected or accused are
probably aware that earnestness is a
pretty notable quality in Theodore
Roosevelt's makeup.

ANNA GOULD COMING HOME.
Will Return to America With Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Gould.

A dispatch from New York says: Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank ]. Gould sailed for Europe yes
terday on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. Mr.
Gould announced, just before sailing that
his sister Anna, the former Countess Cas-
tellane, will return to this country with
them at the end of January. When asked
about reports Of an estrangement between
himself and Mrs. Gould, Mr.. Gould laughed.
Now, does it look as If there was any
trouble between us?" he asked. I'VE are
both in the best of spirits and think as
much of each other as we ever did. AS
to that report, you can safely say there
is nothing in it. We will arrive in Cher
bourg in five days and will go straight to
Paris, where we are to visit my sister,
Nine. Gould. After a weeks stay with
her we will go to the italian lakes and re-
main there the rest of our stay In Eu-
rope.
I'VE intend to bring back my sister,
but do not know If the French courts
will allow the children to accompany their
mother. This will be the first time that
my sister has visited this country since
she was last here with Count Boni Cas-
tellane.''
AS Mr.. Gould remarked, both he and
his wife looked to be in the best of
health. The ship they sailed on carried
700 cabin passengers and 1000 in the
steerage. Most of the latter were home
going foreigners who will spend Christmas
in the old country.
