The river is "eating up" the wharf
rapidly now. The gauge registered a
rise of 81 this morning, with the
stage at 24.2. Business Is satisfacto-
ry with the boats.
The Chattanooga arrived yester-
day afternoon from Chattanooga and
completed the first round trip in the
new trade. This morning the Chatta-
nooga left for Joppa. having had to
wait until then to get rousters, and
probably will be ready to leave for
Chattanooga Wednesday afternoon.
Having to come back to the city
with the mate wounded at New Lib

be a long way over due Wednesday
from Evansville. The John Hopkins

yesterday afternoon on the way to
the Tennessee river after a tow of

The Georgia Lee will leave Mem

The City of Savannah probably
will arrive from the Tennessee river

when the two we're separated. How

The Osteopsthic science has been

Osteopathy is an evolution of the
science of treating disease. II went
back to the first principles in nature
for its foundation, and by taking a
step backward 1t has made a great
stride forward.
II Is merely common sense

every organ of the body by removing
the physical obstruction, or stimu-

ward the support of government as
nearly as possible in proportion to
their respectiye abilities-that is, in
proportion to the revenue which they
respectively enjoy under the protec-
! ton of the state"
If Mr.. Roosevelts speech against
fortunes swollen beyond AL healthy
limits" means anything dt all it means
the income tax, because, while the
public would derive benefit from the
inheritance tax only on one occasion
and in the event of death-the in
permanent service to the public.
But in his declamations against
fortunes swollen beyond all healthy
limits Mr.. Roosevelt might have gone
still farther He might have declared
it to be the part of wisdom for those
who stand for the public welfare to in
sist upon locking the barn before the
animal is stolen" He might have said
that nearly all of these great fortunes
have been swollen beyond healthy
limits" by reason of special privileges.
He might have declared that the spe-
ciaI privileges enjoyed by these men
of fortunes swollen beyond all
healthy limits" must be withdrawn
in order that equal rights may be given
to all.
Mr.. Roosevelt's halting declarations
in favor of an inheritance tax and his
determinations against fortunes "swol-
len beyond all healthy limits" are not
entirely consistent with his opposi-
ton to tariff revision. And it is also
true that at the very time when Mr..
Roosevelt was delivering this speech
House committee was holding So
called hearings on the ship subsidy
bill, while the advocates of that in
ipuitous measure were pointing with
pride to the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
favors the ship subsidy, and that sew
eral of the departments under the
Roosevelt administration have Official
ly Endorsed the plan.
Mr.. Roosevelt would undertake to
put a check upon these swollen for
tunes through an inheritance tax, ana
then he would make it possible for
these fortunes to undergo the swell
ing process again through the IN
famous ship subsidy scheme.

A LAWLESS MONOPOLY.

H. H. Rogers and John d. Arch
bold, speaking officially for the Stand
ard Oil Company, angrily deny that
their corporation has engaged in un
lawful practices. 1.-THE assertion
President Roosevelt makes-"is alike
untruthful and unjust" M. F. Elliott
general counsel of the company, ex-
presses "our unbounded surprise over
Mr. Garfield's report, on which, of
course, the presidents structures are
based"
Yet Mr.. Garfield makes the unquali-
fed statement in his report that at
the close of the investigation "all the
essential facts discovered by the bu-
reau were presented to the company"
There was no denial Of the facts
found" he continues, "but explanations
of particular situations were offered,
and it was argued that the facts did
not show any violation by the Stand
ard of the letter or the spirit of the
Interstate Commerce law" Mr.. Eli
otis surprise" and Mr.. Rogers and
Mr.. Archbold's combined wrath are
hardly less convincing, in view of the
facts. than the statement made by S.
c. T. Dodd a year or more ago. in
which he declared that since the en-
actment of the Interstate Commerce
law "the Standard has obeyed it in
every particular" They cannot clear
themselves by such statements.
The way in which the company has
obeyed the law "in every particular"
is summarized in President Roose-
velt's message: "The report shows
that the Standard Oil Company has
benefited enormously up almost to the
present moment by secret rates, many
of these secret rates being clearly I'M
lawful. This benefit amounts to at
least three-quarters of a million a
year."
So scrupulously has No. rs Broad
way obeyed the law "in every par
ticular" that the president says: "The
Department of Justice will take up the
question of instituting prosecutions in
at least certain of these cases."
Even when the Standard observed
the letter of the law the Garfield re-
port shows that the spirit Of the law
has been grossly violated. The in
vestigation substantiates Miss Tar
bells contention that the Standard
Oil Company, by reason of Its pc
culiar relations with the railroads, has
been able to make its own freight
rates. Where rebates were unneces-
sary to destroy competition it has re-
sorted to other devices. less flagrantly
illegal but no less effective, to main
tain its monopoly.
There is no blinking the fact that
the revelations of the Garfield report
will powerfully strengthen the Presi-
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-16

dents hand in his rate bill campaign.
That the message was received with
applause in the House of Representa-
tives is significant of the state of
public opinion in respect to this cor
poration.
But even if government rate regu-
lation would do all that the President
claims for it, the Standard Oil Com
pany would still hold it's monopoly A
Federal rate bill will not prevent the
rebates which Mr.. Garfield has ex-
posed There is already a law to pun
ish these offenses-not very ade-
quate law, perhaps, but still a law.
Neither will a Federal rate bill de-
prive the monopoly Of the privileges
which it enjoys by reason of a high
protective tariff on its immensely
profitable by-products. The president
comedies as much when he says that
1T is highly desirable that an ele-
ment of competition should be intro
duced by the passage of some such
law as that which has already passed
the House putting alcohol used In the
arts and manufactures on the free list
Here is an open admission on Mr..
Roosevelt's part that the Dingley tar
if, as we'll as rebates and discrimina-
tons, has helped to destroy competi-
ton and intrench the company in it's
monopoly. If the Garfield report gives
a new impetus to the Presidents rate
making programme, it is certain also
to intensity the demand for revision
of the Dingley schedules.
That Mr. Roosevelt has ventured to
grapple with the Standard Oil Com
pany, however, is altogether creditable
to him and to his administration. No
other administration has ever presum-
ed to challenge that arrogant corpora
ton. 1t was good politics as we'll as
good craftsmanship. But it will be
still better politics if Mr.. Roosevelt
insists upon the most rigid enforce
ment of the present Interstate Com
merce law against the Standard Oil
offenders, and also recommends to
Congress the restoration of the i'm
prisonment clause which was eliminat-
ed by the Elkins amendment Of 1903,
which he signed.
In the matter of preventing the mi
quitous practices exposed in the Gar
field report it is time the Government
of the United States ceased to take
the William Travers Jerome view that
no millionaire can do anything for
which he ought to be sent to Jail.
