READY FOR FIGHT
TRlPLETT WILL CONTEST THE
CHARGES AGAINST HIM.

Indicted for Land Frauds-offender

big cattle ranch enclosures in the
northwestern part of the state, is CO.
Ing to put up a fight against convic

shown in the fact that his Omaha at.
torney, A. H. Burnett, appeared at the
federal building Wednesday and an.
nounced that he would represent Trip

ted States court. Counsel has also
been provided for Triplett at Eel Paso,
Tex, where he is now in custody
awaiting transfer to the jurisdiction of
the Nebraska district of the United
States courts.
The department of justice expects
to prove a great many important
things in the fraudulent land filing
cases by Triplett, and for this reason
months have been spent in his appre.
hension and if necessary his extradi-
ton from Mexico, where he had fed,
after hearing that he was wanted.
The government is in possession of
information that Aquilla Triplett

No Permanently Rich.

IL is quite unnecessary in this coun.
try, says DR.. Charles w. Eliot, Of Har-
ward, In Worlds Work, TO feel alarm
about the rise OF permanent class
of very rich people. To transmit great
estates is hard. They get divided or
dispersed The heirs are often unable,
to keep their inherited treasures, or
II, by the help Of lawyers and other
hired agents. they manage to keep
them, they cease to accumulate, and
only spend. This is one of the natural
effects on his children of tho very rich
mans mode of life. With rarest excep.
ton the very rich men OF to-day are
not the sons Of tho very rich men Of
30 years ago, but are new men. 1t will
be the same 80 years hence The wise
rich father will try to put his sons
into those beneflcent professions and
occupations which have strong intel
tectual and moral interest, and in
which pecuniary independence Is a
distinct advantage. Such are the pub
lie service in elective or appointive of
ices, the ministry, scientific reasearch,
social service, and the management of
charities and of serviceable endowed
institutions. Inherited wealth enables
young men to devote themselves early
to these fine employments, which are
not pecuniarily remunerative, but yet
possess the highest sort of interest and
offer all the rewards of beneficent in.
duence among men.

covered no rebates in the technical
sense on interstate business
HE says the Standard Oil company
has habitually received from the rail.
roads, and Is now receiving, secret
rates and other unjust and illegal dis.
ordinations. 1t is hardly fair or
manly for him to add the sentence, 'Oi
course there may be other secret rates
which the bureau has not discovered.
Does Not Crush Competition.
THE statement that the STANDARD
Oil company has largely by unfair
and unlawful methods crushed out
home competition is fully answered
by the fact that home competition has
always existed, is steadily growing
and that there are now at least 12E
competitive refneries in the United
States.
"The Standard OIL company has beer
investigated over and over again al
the instigation of its rivals, and II
always welcomes such investigation
when conducted in good faith and
fairly. We are engaged in a large and
honorable business. We are conduct
ing II honorably and we sincerely be
lieve in conformity to law"

Illuminating OIL After deducting the
freight rate the price of such oil is
usually from two cents to five cents
gallon higher in the non-competitive
than in the competitive fields. A rea-
sonable profit upon refined oil is
about one-half cent per gallon. 1t is
clear that eXorbitant profits are OBJ
tanned in the on-competitive fields"
In 1904 these secret rates saved the
Gtandard Oil company three-quarters
OF a million collars, representing the
difference between the open rates and
the rates actually paid "These dis
ordinations" he says, have been so
long continued, and so secret, so in
geniously applied to new conditions
OF trade, and so large in amount as to
make 1t certain that they were due to
concerted action by the Standard and
the railroads" He says further that
the Standard OIL company is receiving
unjust determinations in the matter
of open rates, the published rates from
the leading Standard shipping points
being relatively much lower than rates
from the shipping points of its COM
petitors.
Roads Abolish Secret Tariffs.
Mr.. Garfield then refers to seven
instances of important determinations
in favor of the Standard Oil COM
pany In various parts of the country
and says that most of the secret rates
and some of the open discrimination
discovered by the bureau were abol-
tshed by the railroads shortly after
such discovery. After calling atten-
ton to the good which already has re-
suited from the investigation, Mr.. Gar.
field says that the changes effected
have put the Independents upon fair.
err footing and make competition pos
sible in territories heretofore inacces.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
Friday transmitted to congress the re-
port of James r. Garfield, commission
pr of corporations, giving the results
Of his investigation of the subject of
transportation and freight rates In
connection with the oil industry.
In his message the president sx-
presses the view that the report is OF
capital Importance because of the eff
tort now being made to secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate to meet the
clearly demonstrated needs of the sit
uation. The facts set forth in the re-
port, he declares, are for the most part
not disputed That the Standard Oil
company has benefited enormously up
almost to the present moment by Sc
cret rates, many Of which were clear
ly unlawful, the president says the re-
port clearly shows.

ly in the crude oil fields. He charges
that this location OF refineries and
the natural advantages following 1t
were obtained by means of unfair
competitive methods, but beyond this
mere assertion does not go into a his
tory or explanation of these alleged
unfair methods at all. He says the
development of the pipe line system
by the Standard Oil company was the
result of special agreement with the
railroad companies AS a matter of
fact, the development of tho pipe
line system by the Standard Oil com.
pany was in the face of violent hos.
tility on the part of the railroads.
Conditions in New England.
Passing from this point, Commits,
sioner Garfield takes up the question
Of favoritism, which he alleges has
been shown by various railroad cor
porations, to the Standard Oil com.
pany. The first specific case of al.
legged discrimination to which he d..
reefs attention is in the New England
territory. 1t is charged that we en-
joy monopoly in certain parts of that
section because some of the railroads
there refuse to prorate. Casual in.
quiry would show that the New Eng.
land roads are simply doing what they
are forced to do by natural conditions
Obviously, we have an advantage by
the use of our pipe lines from the
western oil fields to the coast and the
use of water transportation thence to
New England over anyone who uses
all rail transportation from western
points.
Some of our competitors do the
same thing and deliver oil at the
points in New England that we do by
the same process.

Health of School Children.

Proper attention to the health Of
children is an excellent civic invest
ment. A great part of the diseases
which develop as chronic In after life
could be obviated by closer medical
superstition of childrens health. Es-
pecially defects in hearing, eyesight
or teeth can be checked In early life,
while in later years they become too
confirmed to yield to treatment. The
investigation of the board of educa-,
ton have shown that a majority of.
the school children have either de-
fective eyesight or tendency to bad
vision. 1t is now proposed to ex-
anime the school childrens teeth al
so. This experiment has been tried in,
Germany, where attention to the
teeth has improved the eyesight and
the hearing by improving the diges-
ton of the children treated. 1t Is as
necessary for a child to have sound
senses and good bodily health as men
tai development. In the majority of
the occupations at which the present
school children OF the present will in
future years earn their livelihood,
sound health and good physique will
be of more value than education frills.
