THE new code is receiving some
hard knocks from the state press.
Well, it might be good deal bet

a good deal worse. 1t certainly is
convenient in size, condensed and
plainly worded. Even a man of
ordinary intelligence can, after
reading a paragraph of the code,
form a pretty accurate idea of
what it means, which is more than
can be said for most legal docu-
ments. 1t has it's faults, of course,

THERE is whole sermon in the

you made mistakes yesterday for

built upon continued regret. To
day is the result of yesterday but
it is more important to remember
that tomorrow is the result of to-
day. The result of the action of
today we can determine, but no
amount of dwelling upon yester-
days regret will reshape today.
If we fell yesterday there is moth
ing to do today but to pick our
selves up, shake off the dust and
start afresh. Rise above yester-
day. 1t is hard work to hold up
the head and live down a black

be held. Yesterday has passed, let
it rest in peace; don't keep drag

undone. Let yesterday alone.

The Virginia or Bust" county
division boomers are at present not
so anxious to name any other place
as the temporary county seat of
Iron County. We thought right
along that the whole thing was
wanted and that they would not
care to name either Ely, Eveleth
Hibbing or Chisholm as the tempo
rary seat for fear these places
would keep the permanent location.

eARF1ELDs OIL REPORT.

The report Of Commissioner GARFIELD
on the Standard Oil company and the
general oil industry as affected by It.,
upon the investigation of which the
bureau Of corporations has been indus
triously engaged for over a year. is now
In the hands Of the president, and when
placed before congress by him will, IL Is
believed. cause sensation for which
even prevailing impressions of the high
handed doings of that great monopoly
have not prepared the public mind.
Since the inquiry into the Beef trust the
full energies of the bureau have been
devoted to the more extensive and diff
cult investigation OF the OIL trust. The
published report on the meat combine
was a distinct disappointment to the
general public but it is reliably affirmed
that no such result will follow the pub
LEGATION of the facts developed in the
oil investigation.
In both investigations the commits
sioner acted under imperative mandate
Of joint resolution of congress, but in
the beef case the bureau was under the
disadvantage of being in the first stage
Of its own installation and organization
as a department Of the public service.
Many of the errors and failures newt
able under the circumstances have been
corrected in the oil inquiry, and though
the details Of its success are not vet
publicly available. the statement is
made on high authority that the basis
Of a case of amazing commercial wrong
and wholesale violation OF law has been
made out against the greatest trust octo-
pus of the age.
1t is known that in the Investigation
Of the Oil, as OF the Beef trust, informa-
ton was secured direct from the officials
and agents of the various corporations,
as the joint resolution and the law con-
templated. Accordingly It would seem
that the Humphrey decision of blanket
immunity" in the beef case, If it shall
stand as a precedent, may be bar to
successful prosecution and punishment
of at least many of the most guilty
Standard Oil offenders.

Interstate Commerce Probe Reveals
Astonishing Conditions
Cleveland Leader.

II il possible that the report of the Inter
state Commerce commission on the coal
railroads Of Pennsylvania will be start
ling one. According to a coal and freight
expert who has been in close touch with
the commission. revelations OF the most
astonishing kind have been made already
and the Inquiry probably will continue for
six months longer Here is a statement
prepared by this authority which appeared
in the Philadelphia Press:
'The control Of the entire bituminous
coal supply of the thirteen original states
is In the hands OF a single corporation, the
Pennsylvania railroad.
THE bItuminous coal-carrying railroads
of these states are admittedly trust
the Pennsylvania. New York Central Ches-
apeake & Ohio Baltimore & Ohio and the
Philadelphia g. Reading.
They nave for years been violating the
Sherman antitrust act, the interstate COM
merce law, the Elklns act and the laws OF
common honesty. Some OF their officers,
besides defrauding the public, have been
double-crossing their own stockholders.
1T the department of justice can be
made to act there viii be fines and inn
prisonments in store for conspicuous figures

According TO the same authority the ad-
mission has been made before the COM

York Central railroads own a controlling
interest In the Chesapeake & Ohio, Balti'
more & Ohio. Norfolk & Western and
Philadelphia & Reading lines, with one

These roads carry all the bituminous coal

For ten years these railroads have main

In addition 10 this the expert IN his re-

OF petty graft and treachsry TO the stock

CORPORATION GIFTS.

1t is not worth while, from any point
of view, to raise at this time the ques-
ton of legality of corporation gifts, like
that of 100000 by. the United States
Steel corporation, for San Francisco re-
lief. 1t is not practical question nor is
the public, profoundly moved with SYM
patty for human suffering and absorbed
in the work of alternating il, in frame
Of mind even TO listen patiently to theo-
retical disquisition on that subject or
to tolerate anyone disposed to perpetrate
II.
But 1t is positively disgusting when a
newspaper which has made itself notori-
Gus as a champion Of corporation abuse
and violation of law seeks to prevent
noble impulse in the face OF o~eTpower-
ing disaster. and in the course of an
elaborate editorial article asks: "Will
somebody be trying FIVE or ten years
hence to put these steel company officers
and directors in the penitentiary for Civ
ing away the money Of the company or
Of its stockholdersT' The employment of
such tactics is the At accompaniment of
such championship, and is worthy of
mention only TO impress upon the public
mind the extreme of folly to which it
is capable OF resorting.
Technically legal or not, there is all
the difference I'm the world. as all right
minded people have always known. be
tween an act OF evil design and effect
and an act Of necessity-for obvious
public good. Secretary Taft, I'm de-
liberately ordering on behalf of the San
Francisco sufferers the expenditure Of
hundreds OF thousands Of public funds
without authority OF law, committed an
act which, If its purpose had been
wrongful, and the emergency not Obvi-
Gus, would subject him to deserved i'm
parchment. It is preposterous and fool
hardy to insult the common sense Of the
country by attempting to draw a par
allel between corporation funds diverted
from legitimate use for the purpose OF
cOrrupting government and subverting
public rights and the reasonable gift
OF such funds in great crisis com

The transportation of hundreds of
trainloads OF food and other supplies
free Of charge to San Francisco by the
railroad companies is worthy OF all
praise, but If IL were done in the ordl-
nary course OF business. merely to favor
one shipper against another, as a form
Of rebate. II would, OF course. be a vio-
lation OF law and public policy
II Is well TO remember that back OF
