AN UNPROMIsING
COURTSHIP

Ii Is believed that the directors OF
the Standard oil company have been
trying to devise means OF pacifying
'he public. They have added n
press agent to their Office stan in New
York. The newspaper reporter. in
stead OF being treated as though he
he'd evil intentions on the contents
OF the safe, Is received cordially.
Courteous, even IL unsatisfactory an
swers are made to his inquiries.
There is now some talk OF taking the
public quite fully into the confidence
OF the corporation. But unless the
standard oil company suddenly chan
ges from roaring lion to a peaceful
sheep this last proposition seems n
trifie absurd. In any event II will
take great deal of persuasion to
pldcate the public. There is even
serious doubt that IL can be done at
all. The Standard oil company, re.
gardless OF its practices, is too pow
crful monopoly ever to win the
confidence OF the people. 1t does no.,
harmonic well with the principle.
upon which the American govern
ment Is founded.
A semiofiicial report on Wall street
has 1t that the earnings of the cor.
poration are now greater than at any
time during its history There is
talk of an increase in it's capital
stock from $10O.OOO,OOO to 5000.
100000. This years net earnings
~ Is understood, are running at the
rate of more than $4,000. 900 for
the year. Since and including 1898.
the company has declared dividends
OF 354 per cent, aggregating S347,-
O73,0O0. The smallest annual dlyi-
dent has paid in that period was
30 per cent, in 1898. IT disburses
more money In dividends than any
other corporation in the world. It's
surplus is greater than that OF any
other corporation in the United
states. And the paralysis OF the Rus
ian oil industry promises TO give
more complete control of theEuro-
)ean market. Does II seem likely
hat the American people will ever
AXE kindly to this giant monopoly 3D.

ANOTHER MINE
CATASTROPHE
A SINGULAR RECORD

The democratic party, child of the
republican party of Thomas LETTER
son. was founded by Andrew Jack
son about az years ago. II was VIC
torious at it's beginning. aud Il is
only truth to say that IL every voter
of the entire American electorate
who classed himself as n democrat
had supported the party ticket every
president from Jackson down TO the
present moment would have been a
democrat, elected by the democratic
party.
Possibly the event of 1910 was an
exception--possibly! Taylor was
elected in 1873 because of dema-
cratic boilers i'm New Samuel
J. Tilden was one of them. Lincoln
was minority president his first
term. and the republican party of
Lincoln's time was 40 per cent dem
ocratic on al questions except sle-
very.
In 1894 the democrats Numbered
by nominating a war man on a peace
platform: four years later they non.-
mated n sound-money man on a
greenback platform: In 1872 Greeley
would have swept the country If
every democrat had voted for him.
rhe party was united In 1876. and
rilden got a majority of quarter
IF a million OF the popular vote.
Grover Cleveland got a plurality OF
he popular vote three times Will
lam J. Bryan would have been
vice elected If every man who
bought himself democrat had vo-
ed for him and Alton b. Parker
gould be president this moment If
II men labeled democrats had voted
or him.
