years he had been sexton of the white

member. He had the affections and respect
OF whites and blacks alike for his Christian
virtues, and his shop was \the resort Of

counsel. His townspeople Of both races

10 his memory. II some wretched black
criminal had been guilty Of the usual

LAME DEFENSE OF TRUST.

Main Point,

standard Oil Apologize DOdges the
Main Point.
Chicago Chronicle.
Sometimes even great logicisns will miss
the point of a question.
This Is exemplihed In the case Of Stand
ard Oil attorney who shows that prior to
the organization of the trust the price OF
kerosene was IS cents per gallon. while
II Is now Is cents per gallon, and that as
against the former price of 20 cents for
lubricatinK oil the present price is l6 cents.
with these facts in view" he says,
"what grievance can the public have
against the so-called grinding trust?"
It does not occur to the lawyer that there
are other things than high prices that are
charged against trusts, and especially
against the OIL trust. He reasons that the
kerosene monopoly has reduced prices TO
the consumer and that II has thereby OBJ
tanned a clean bill OF health. That Is a
non sequitur.
We have to consider, in the first place,
whether the reduction in prices would not
have come II the Standard OIL trust never
had been organized; whether the reduce
ton was not in spite Of the trust rather
than because Of It, Then we have to con-
slider whether the trust did not employ
illegal methods in crushing out compeu-
ton and, most important OF all WhetheF
the trust by tie very existence does not
violate the law today
These considerations, II is plain, are not
to be brushed aside with the mere asser-
ton that the trust has reduced the price
OF oil 10 the consumer. A man might steal
a dozen gold watches and sell them at half
their value. but he could hardly put In
the defense that he~had reduced the price
OF gold watches. The point would not be
we'll taken.
30 Il is with the Kerosene trust. II can
not answer all charges by pointing TO the
price OF oil. II must explain how 1t is able
TO reduce the price. After that 1t must
explain why It persists IN violating the
law which prohibits It from being trust
az all.
The doctrine OF the Standard OH attorney
Is that the end justihes the means. Have
you throttled competition? Oh. yes. but
we have reduced prices Are you a conf
blnation in restraint Of trade? Yes, but we
sell oil at IA cents a gallon.
II that sort Of a defense were valid no
lareenist. grand or petty, ever would so to
