GREAT PROPAGANDA,

N San Francisco Chronicle: No 26
Broadway, New York, IS the headquar-
,ters of the Standard Oil Co. and if
those officers are not the nest of a band
of socialists of the most virulent type
the conclusion is inevitable that their
occupants are crazy. AT any rate, no
other agency ever established IN Amer
lea ever made socialists so rapidly as
the Standard Oil Co. iaagnates are now
making them, and such men as Rogers,
the Rockefellers and others Of the most
astute men in the world must so under
stand il. If they think they are suffi.
.eiently skillfal to safely ride out any
storm which such proceedings can
raise, they have simply lost their heads.

BLACKMAIL TOO EASY.

. New York Evening Post; A cornbi-
nation of wealth, notoriety and loose
living makes some Of our. society pee
pie peculiarly vulnerable Their rec3k-
less dissipation is curiously accompan-
led with a craven dread of exposure.
A plutocracy has not yet dared to as
sumo the prerogatives of an aristocracy
of birth. The resttlt is that, with a
standard Of living no higher than that
of England and the continent and a
much greater fear of criticism, our; plu-
tocraey is singularly helpless. before the
assaults of blacknailers of all degrees.
Blackmailing has. in fact, become 50
ridiculously easy an occupation that we
seriously doubt if any gentleman oil

scend to pursue it so long as the high

offer a career open to talent. Eggs.

TO Stop. LOBBYING.

opening Of its sessions barring all lob

who desire to appear before legisla-

This interdict will not seriously disturb
professional lobbyists. They generally
put in their. work at the hotels and re-

banish the lobby is TO have grand
