ELKINs ENDORSED.

Cabell county Republicans in con-
vention assembled Saturday TO SCI
lect delegates to a State senatorial
convention, passed a ringing reso-
luton endorsing Senator Elkins for
recollection to the United States
Senate, Just like has been done in
all other Republican conventions in
this State this year. The Cabell
county resolution reads as follows:
Eve have for years recognized in
Stephen B. Elkins our leader in this
State: through the dark and gloomy
period, when as a minority party, We
waged a desperate fight against an
INSCRIPTIONS enemy. we looked to
him for encouragement and leader
ship and never in vain, and in the
years Of our success have learned to
better know him; and we here and
no wre-affirm our allegiance to him,
and emphatically and unanimously
declare Senator Elkins to be the
choice of Cabell County Republicans
TO succeed himself in the United
States Senate"

The Knights Templar decora-
tions are becoming elaborate under
the supervision of the official deco
rator, Harry Lewis, of New York,
and by Wednesday morning. they
should appear on all the business
houses and many of the residences.
Mr.. Lewis has large force employ.
ed and is rushing the work. The
construction Of the arch is progress
ing and another arch or 30 will be
erected. Every one is enthusiastic
over the decorations and it is safe
now to make the prediction that
Clarksburg viii brow more arts
tic array of flags and bunting, and
q more general establishment of
business houses and private resi-
dences than any West Virginia city
has shown for any purpose. Every
one along the line Of march, as well
as in other places. should get busy
decorating as the time remaining be
fore the conclave is short.

The only way by which the dis
can be cured is by con.
ferring upon the interstate COM
merce commission the power to take
quick and effective action regarding
rates.
The published rates from Stand
ard shipping points are relatively
much lower that rates from the
shipping points Of its competitors.
Tho Pennsylvania railroad has
given the Standard a rate of nine
cents a barrel from Olean, n. Y, to
Rochester, while the Independent re-
fineries situated in territory ada
cent to 0lean we're given a rate Of
80 cents a barrel. BY reason Of this
rate the Standard has been enabled
to monopolize Vermont.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The united applause, irrespective
of politics, given the Presidents
message in Congress submitting the
report of Commissioner Garfield on
the Standard Oil Company and the
oil industry in the United States,
was conclusive evidence Of the
potency Of the message in exposing
in even minute detail and in prac-
teal and comprehensive manner the
evil and unlawful practices Of that
great trust, together with the rail-
roads, which it appears to control
in the matter Of transportation and
freight rates. However, much
Standard officials may vituperate
against the President, however loud
they may become in the charge that
he lies. however great may be their
criticism Of the Presidents public
and official utterances, however
much they may object to what they
style too generous advice, yet the
people will continue their confidence
in the President, and will be con-
WINGED by Congress hearty appro-
baton of the sentiment Of the mes
sage that the President knew what
he was talking about and talked in
a manner designed for the benefit of
the people of the nation as a whole.
The Presidents arraignment of
the Standard, considering the high
source from which it comes. is the
most severe the Standard has ever
been subjected to. and it is not pass
ing strange that high officials of that
company should try 10 stay the
tide of the influence of the Presi-
dents words, by denouncing him as
q man as well as President. But
they overlook the fact that the peo-
pie viii believe the President and
not them, because the Presidents
motive is to accomplish good for the
people and not to strengthen the
iron grip Of the Standard.
Summarized the Presidents in
dietment of the Standard may be
stated as follows:
The Standard Oil Company has
benefited enormously up to the pres
ent moment by secret rates, amount
ing to at least three quarters Of a
million a wear. Tt obtains a much
larger profit at the expense of the
public.
Tn addition to these secret rates
the Standard Oil profits immensely
by open rates. which are so arrang-
ed as tot give it an overwhelming
advantage over competitors.
BY held of railways the Standard
is in control of New England and is
enabled to charge from three to four
hundred thousand dollars a wear
more to the consumers of oil in New
England than they would receive in
the competitive fields.
The sugar trust rarely if ever paws
the lawful rate for transportation.
The proper plan for individual
initiative can only be secured bv
such governmental supervision -
viii curb those monopolies which
crush out all individual initiative.
The government should have The
power to inquire into the affairs of
railroads as bank examiners now
examine the affairs of banks.
No oil or coal lands held by the
government or BY Indian tribes
should be alienated.
It is not possible to put into
figures the exact amount by which
the Standard profits through tire
gross fayoritism shown it BY rail.
