Promise Of Relief.

Eastern reports say that the Standard
Oil company is just now doing the bust
ness Of it's life in the sale Of gasolene
and naphtha. Demand is running to
proportions never before reached and
the profits are enormous. The greater
number Of automobiles in use and the
opening Of the summer season, with nu-
merous gaso1ene launches going into
commission at the summer resorts, are
reasons for the quick demand which
has made deliveries late in some cases
and prices strong in every case.
The Standard is always a money-mak-
er. History fails to record the time
when it sold anything without pretty
good margin Of profit. Today, with two
of its principal products holding to a
high price-level and consumers Only too
glad to be able to get it promptly, there
is an outlook for even better things FOR
the select few who hold the STANDARD
stock and reap the big annual divi-
dends.
Every small factory using ,gasolene
for fuel or for Misunderstanding purposes
feels the effect Of the higher prices. Al
cohol for fuel would mako the situa-
ton very different. The free alcohol
bill does not become effective in time
for the production to cut into the mar
ket this year, so the automobile own
ers, gasolene engine operators, cleaners
and dyers, small manufacturers and
users generally will feel no Immediate
relief, but it is evident that another
season the situation might have become
intolerable and that the alcohol bill
was passed none too soon.
The exact effect Of the production OF
free denaturized alcohol upon the mar.
ket, in prices per gallon, for liquid fuel

A Somewhat Different Story.

Senator John M. Gearin Of Oregon
is a somewhat different politician from
what is expected in these days of de-
generate Depews and malformed Bur-
tons. Mr.. Gearin was appointed to the
senate to succeed Mitchell Of unblessed
memory. He submitted his cause to
the people under a new law, whereby
senate and the legislature is expected
to- ratify their choice The theory of
the lawmakers was evidently that when
candidate carried the popular .indorse-
ment his party would also elect ma
jority Of the legislature. But there are
so many elements which enter into the
electionsof legislature besides a sena-
torship, that this does not always fol
low. In fact, in the recent election in
Oregon, while the republican candidate
secured majoritysof the popular vote,
the democrats appear to have carried
the legislature. .r. a. @s.
One might imagine the result if such
a thing happened to a, Platt or Cor
man or Buckley. He would imme-
diately put in motion plans to make
the legislature the master of the stu.
alton and secure the senatorship. But
this is what Mr.. Gearin did: When
he heard Of some such plot being
Matched in Oregon he wrote letter
protesting against it, and declaring that
| Mr.. Bourne, his republican opponent
before the people, should have the
unanimous vote Of the democratic legis
lature, and that any other course woule
be treason to the state. ~
+ Such man as Gearin cannot be per
manently spared from the public ser
vice. 5l.... 49,.

The Packers and Their Bill.

Notwithstanding some improvements
forced by the minority of the commit
tee, the cloven hoof Of the packer is
still in the W.adsworth bill. AS indi-
Gated by The Journals Washing
ton dispatches today the majority Of
the agricultural committee still clings
to the idea of making the; country pay
for the inspection, and vests in the Sec
rotary of agriculture a large discre-
ton. These two things while they
may not Immediately affect the inspec-
ton, will tend in the long run to de-
crease its efficiency. The time may
come when the appropriation is made
quate to the work or when the agricul-
turai secretary is incompetent OF care
less or both, and then inspection falls
to the ground until stirred up again by
another angry burst from the country.
The packers ought to be able to see
that they least of any can afford these
bursts Of Indignation. They bring on
painful publicity and shortness Of bust
ness while the cause, is being exploited
and the remedy sought. But apparent
~ the packers are determined to gets a
loosely constructed bill thru congress
to show the president that they can
oppose him and to have law which
they can evade. ~. Sa> =
The packers may put their bill thru
the house, but it does not follow that
they can get it thru the conference,
which must come after the failure of
the two houses to adopt identical meas
ures. T h g J ur nails Washington
correspondent intimates that all of the
senate conferees and two Of the house
conferees will be for the principle of
the Beveridge bill-that is if Speaker
Cannon appoints the conferees in the
usual way. # he does not appoint
them in the usual way it will be such
significant concession to the packers
as to attract the attention Of the whole
country. .a . g.. " s

AZ Iong-Iived Statesman.

The prehistoric statesman whom the
governor Of Maryland has recently ap.
pointed to the senate has had a. pic,
turesque political career. Entering the
senate five years before the present old
est member, Allison of Iowa, was first
elected, Mr.. Whyte had as colleagues
such men as Ben Wade, Charles Sumner,
Lyman Trumbull. This was in 1868.
The next time Mr.. .Whyte came to the
senate was in 1875, when he was elected
for "a full term. .q
Meantime, a great social revolution
had been going on in Maryland. The
state had been run as an oligarchy, Of
which Whyte was the dignifed ambas-
sador at Washington. But the poor
whites had begun to assert themselves.
They found a leader in ArthurPue Cor
man, a rising young machine politician,
who was willing to lead the hoi polloi
provided the road was etoKard Wash
in gton. And it was When 1881 came
around, Senator William Pinkney
Whyte, with his aristocratic name,
whiskers and associations, found him
self outside the breastworks. The feud
between the finest families, represented
by Whyte, and the largest families, rep
resented by German, has been going on
in Maryland politics ever since with the
singular result that German, who in
| Washington was the very acme Of a
gh-toned, reserved and unapproach-
able senator, was at home the Gavroche
Of state politics.
Mr.. William Pinkney Whyte does not
| appear to have been averse to office
holding, for after his rejection from the
| senate he served as mayor Of Baltimore
attorney general, city attorney Of Bal.
timore. Now, at the age Of 81, he en-.
tiers the senate for the third time
having survived German, whose own
career was three times the average
length Of political lives.

stands for something, and have op-
posed to the probable candidate, whose
agreeable personality and irreproach-
able character will be his strongest rec

resents definite policy and whose rec

him the confidence of his fellow-eiti-
zens, and the reputation of being a
man who does things. M -.

Conditions are radically different
from those which obtained at the be-
ginning of the last campaign. The pre-
liminary contest has been marked by
bitterness and personal animosity Of de-
feat and the breaks in the ranks, al
ways incident to a live contest for
preferment, are certain to be closed up
more quickly than usual. The, Duluth
convention has united the republican
party and given it promise Of success
at the coming election .-..t &c..
The Duluth platform with great pro-
priety emphasizes state interests. It
advocates the adoption Of the tax
amendment; favors a reduction OF pas
senger fares to cents a mile; favors
the abolition Of free passes and con-
dennis discrimination in car service; it
favors legislation to promote reforesta'
ton Of non-agricultural and cut-over
lands; pledges the party to compre-
hensive system Of drainage Of state
lands, and to vigorous and system
attic policy Of state development, in
Guiding effective work to promote i'm
migration. -
The opposition can hardly take issue
on any Of these propositions, but the
republican party has pre-empted the
ground, and by the progress already
made has made these issues identical
with the republican cause. y. -.-
With respect to national affairs, the
most significant utterance is the declar'
alton in favor Of tariff revision and
that the time is now ripe for change
in the schedules. This is the position
denied by men prominent in national
politics and particularly by that chosen
exponent of the principles Of the stand
patter-the distinguished representative
Of the second district. The state plat
form undoubtedly declares republican
tariff sentiment in this state. f.
