Rogers, of the Standard Oil company, says that the president is liar when he asserts that the Standard Oil company has re- celved illegal rebates or done any other illegal act. But Rogers admitted that the Republic Oil company had been doing busi- ness in Missouri in violation of the law. The rich cannot be be- lieved under oath when they have money interest in telling a lie. If the congress of the United Sta tes were not under the control of the Standards pork barrel the officers of that conspiracy to swindle would long ago have been in prison stripes.
