THE STANDARD
 OILS INFLUENCE.

As illustrative of the powerful in fiuence that the Standard Oil Company exerts aver legislative matters the fate of the free alcohol bill presents an interesting study.
 Here is measure in which the en tire country is interested, and which Is being urged by practically all in terests, save alone the high financiers of the oil trust. No reasonable ob' lection was advanced against it when 1t came up for passage in the lower house, and the bill was passed by a virtually unanimous vote.
 In the Senate it met its first re buff. Protesting that his only solici. tation was for the national revenues. Senator Aldrich succeeded in having the bill referred to "a subcommittee, which was to take, Testimony for the purpose of determining the disirabil fly of the projected legislation" The bill continues to repose in the depths of the subcommittee, and its status is such as to make it doubtful if if ever will reach the Senate. Senator Aldrich refuses to report it, either favorably or adversely, and only by recourse to drastic measures can the friends of the bill hope to have il brought from the Standard oil Sena tors pigeon hole.
 The bill, if passed, would result ir 1 cheaper light and cheaper heat fol the poor, and cheaper power in nu merous industries. The arguments I are all in favor of it's passage. The present duty on grain alcohol for use | in the arts and industries is oppres
 siye, unnecessary and extortionate. | l deprives the farmer of remunerativt
 market for his by-products, Th' charge that remission of the >dut!
 would open the door to fraud and pro
 mote incompetence by cheapening thu price of whisky, is frivolous. In Flu
 rope the ract that no duty is leviet
 does not invite the fraud that Senate
 Aldrich professes to fear, and the al
 cohol from which the duty is to be re
 moved is rendered unfit for use as beverage by being "denaturized," o mixed with some poisonous substance ; If there ever was an economic que:
 tion in which all sound reasoning wa l on its side, the removal of the beye : age tax on denaturized alcohol is on' ? Yet, by the grace of the Standard O Company, this proposed legislatio r lies pigeon-holed, and to all inteni B and purposes killed"

A BALLOON LICENSE TRUST.

In Los Angeles years ago the city passed an ordnance limiting the mum Der Of eslocn licenses to be granted in that city to 200. It seems that this hassbe the basis for the building up of what is nov called there saloon license trust.e Some of the citizens propose to bust this trust by remov, ing the limit. But the proposition is being opposed by the Los Angeles Herald, from which We take the fol lowing article, which may prove of in terest here:
 A spacious argument is adduced 1T favor of the proposition to abolish tho 200 limit of liouor saloons in Los An seies. It is, as attributed to the may CT, the oniy way to break up the traf ne in saloon licenses" Furthermore 1t is claimed that removing the lifli nna increasing the license will reduc' the number of saloons"
 AS licenses now are valued by thei owners at . minimum of $7000 each, is naaifestly absurd to claim that al increase of license tax would cause reduction in number The brewer and other monopolists of the liquo business would shift the added lcens cost to the shoulders of the saloo keepers, and the latter in turn woul shift it to their customers by mean of higher prices, reduced measure c aausteration.
 It is desirable. unquestionably, break the trust that now derives tn chief benefit from saloon license But in order to accomplish that end is not necessary to destroy the bulwar ' that so long has kept the saloons witt in the 200 limitation.

Delegate Andrews, of New Mexico, is again receiving some notoriety, and again it is in connection with a shady transaction. It is now asserted that Andrews was the principal party in a land grab by which New Mexico was deprived of ten thousand acres of her land at nominal figure. Should An, drews again become a candidate for Congress it will be the best evidence that everything thst was said about the territory was true.

Recently Bisbee put in a bid for the territorial democratic convention this fall, So far no other place has been mentioned as aspiring for the conyen, ton. The democrats of the territory have never held a convention in Co chise county, or at any point south oi Tucson. Cochise county has many times saved the party from defeat along with good old neighbor Graham and it is the proper thing to bring the convention to Bisbee. the democratic stronghold of the south. It was agreed year ago that the republican con vention should be held this year 1T Cochise, and the democrats of tht county should be given an even breal with the enemy.

Street Committee of Chamber of Commerce Would Oil
 Naco Road,
FIRE DEPARTMENT WANTS ASSISTANCE.
Chief Henkel Asks Co-Opera- ton of Commerce Commit tee in Matters of Better Fire Protection,

Last nights meeting of the, Cham Der of Commerce was well attended and many matters of importance came before that body.
 Its streets committee, of which J. E. Thompson is chairman. reported prog ress and 1t devolved that among other things to be recommended by the com mittee for better thoroughfares it is the desire of the committee that the council be petitioned to provide for the oiling of Naeo road from the end of the paving to the city limits. The method in vogue in California was dis cussed. and it was thought by some .ot the members present that the cost of oiling by the California way would be too expensive, although no better means was suggested at the meeting of last night However, there was a keen interest displayed in the matter and it is the opinion of the members that the idea will eventually find favor 1 in the Council and be carried throush Fire Chief c. NJ. Henkei spoke on the necessity of extending the fire linn ! it's and the matter will be taken up iI due time with the City Council witl la view to carving out the suggestions | of the fire chief.
 Perhaps the greatest interest dis played, was in the cooperation of committee from the chamber, as re ouested by Henkel, which will have | for it's object the more thorough ex DIoitation of better fire fighting facili 1 ties to be embodied in the proposed tank and water mains. A joint com mittep will rake uD the matter al
 length and 20 i,to the essential detail
 with Mir. Sherman as soon as that gen
 tlemar can devote his time to it. Memorial day also came in for it
 share of the enthusiasm and it is noN assured that nothing will be lacking t
 make of the occasion day long to b
 remembered by the old vets and thei friends.

Some of the republican newspapers in this territory are predicting defeat for the democrats this fall. This is not by any means a new prediction These same republicans have been predicting democratic defeat in Ari zona for the last twenty years. The predictions of the republicans are harmless The democrats have never been disturbed by these predictions in the past, and are not now. The dem ocrats are in position to make an az gressive campaign this fall on live is sues, while the republicans will have nothing to offer. The democrats only have to turn to the record when they have controlled the legislature and tht delegate to Congress to completely | rout the bunch.

THE PRESIDENT
 DENIED TOO MUCH.

Some of the metropolitan ultrapar- ti-an republican newspapers are shout ing unfounded epithets at Senators TiIlman and Bailey in their effort to pull President Roosevelt out of a very embarrassing position, into which he placed himself during the considera ton of the railroad rate bill in the Senate. But the bulk of the republi can press has not undertaken any de- fense of the president. This is true in Arizona, as will be seen by the fol- lowing editorial taken from the Ari, zona Republican:
 Tn his quarrel with former Senator Chandler and Senator Tillman, Presi. dent Roosevelt is paying the penalty oi neglect of a we'll known newspaper rule evolved in the controversial per. iod of journalism, 'Assail in column and deny in line
 "Mr. Roosevelt's denial was too com prehensive. It included too many of the things that were not essential The pertinent accusations against him | were that he had broken faith with his democratic allies, after having ma ligned leading republican Senators.
 'It would have been enough to deny that in his conversation with MT Chandler he had assailed the motives of Messrs. Knox, Spooner and Foraket or that he had pledged himself to any | particular amendment. That woult have covered the whole ground O controversy and presented an insolu ble question of yeracity between hin and MT. Chandler
 1 But when he denied the irrelevan assertion that he had not sent for MT 1 Chandler, there was left in the hand l of the. latter the letter of Mir. Loeb written at the request of the piesi dent, urging his attendance at tn White House, and when he denied tha he had made any oyertures to Senate Tillman, but stated that the Senate had sought his aid, there must hav DSe1 lOISOIlSu Iue COulSE6uCSS Ol Al torney General Moody and Senator Tillman and Bailey, undertaken a request of the president. There, toe was the consistent attitude of Mi TilIman toward the president. almos precluding the notion that the Soul Carolina Senator would seek Mi Roosevelt for any purpose.
 Thus the president has manufac tured by his too detailed denial great deal of adverse circumstantia evidence.
 "As MT Chandler, in his statemen of last week said. the situation is C no importance in itself but when em inent gentlemen apply to each othe the words false and malicious liar certain interest attaches to the dis pute."

The democrats iii Congress last week began their filibustering in the interest of the statehood bill, now in conference. The democrats recognize that fl will be monumental infamy to allow Oklahoma to remain longer a territory The bill now in conference. as amended by the Senate, provides for the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one state, with out any prejudice to the statehood condition of the remaining territories
 The House has been ready at any time to vote unanimously for the ad- mission of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory. The only opposition to this course is the opposition of Speaker Cannon. who desires to force joint statehood upon Arizona and New Mex leo. against the wish of the people of these territories. The democrats should prevent all further business of the House, as far as possible, until such time as the statehood conference committee shall hand in It's report.

HANDSOME
 NEWS PER.


 The last issue of the Globe Belt came doubled in size and was filled from the first to the sixteenth page with illustrations and we'll written ar ticies concerning Globe and the sur rounding mining district. It was a special illustrated edition. In the col umns were many carefully prepared articles about the various enterprises in that thriving city, and general resume of tLe business enterprises and the prominent citizens of Gila county and Globe
 The Silver Belt is one of the oldest newspapers in the territory, and ranks as one of the best weeklies in the southwest. The paper was established in 1878 by Judge A. H. Hackney, one of the ablest editors who ever came to the territory. When Judge Hack, ney was called to the. other shore the paper went to the control of J. H Hamil, nephew of Judge Hackney who has kept up to the highest stan dard of journalism.
 We congratulate Mir. HamiI on his special edition, as it is a credit tc his ability as a newspaper man, anc will result in doing a vast amount ot good for Globe in attracting attention to the rich mineral deposits in thaI section.

Good Roads Without Taxation" will
be the subject considered at a meeting
TO be held Thursday afternoon of this
week at 1:30 at the Milan town hall.
The chief speaker will be A. n. John
son, of Springfield, chief engineer of
the state highway commission. There
will be no admission charge and the
fullest possible attendance is urged.
Posters announcing the meeting have
been issued signed by Thomas Cannon,
president of the village board of Mi
Jan, Supervisor d. w. Matthews and A.
L. Brashar. James K Dickson and
Michael Kane. highway commissioner
Of Black Hawk township.
Credit for the origin of the move
ment rests with J. w. Parker. secre-
tary of the Tri-City PasteuriZed Milk
company of this city. Mr. Parker to-
day discussing the meeting said:
Could Not Come Saturday.
"Mr. Johnson, the state highway en-
gineer, who very kindly consented to
come to Rock Island county, could not
come next Saturday nor the Saturday
following, having engagements at 9TH
er farmers meetings for those days, so
the township and village officials Sc
lected Thursday of this week. Satur-
day would insure a larger attendance
as many farmers come to Milan on that
day but to wait three weeks would, l
hope, take us into the beginning of
farm work when no one at all would
attend.
From what l have seen of the re-
suits of work with the King log drag
am convinced that it is the cheapest
method of establishing a good road
and the expense of maintaining such
a road is no greater than that of keep
ing up a dirt road. the only outlay be-
ing a little time after each storm, and
this would come when work in the
fields would probably be impossible.
To Give Demonstration.
"A team from the Tri-City dairy farm
will work a section of the road imme-
diately west of Milan Thursday morn
ing with a log drag if the ground is
soft enough, and an Eli two-horse
grader will also give demonstration
My own efforts have been confined to
securing Mr.. Johnson's presence and
hope he will have a good audience

Feet Deep.

Some of the old residents recall that
in March, 1881, there was much the
same sort of weather as has been eX
perienced this month. Particularly
from the 18th to the 21st there was a
storm period characterized by heavy
SHOWS such as have been had the last
few days generally throughout the
country, though Rock Island has es
capped the brunt of it.
Some of those interested came tC
The Argus today for Confirmation o
their recollections and found it, The
files of The Argus show that Marcl
20, 1881, exactly a quarter of cen
tury ago today there was one of tho
heaviest snow storms that this countr!
ever experienced 1t was accompanied
by wind that drifted it badly and a.
result business in the tri-c;ties wa.
practically suspended. The street ca
lines early abandoned the struggle and
waited for the storm to cease before
attempting to clear away the drifts.
No Train In.
No train on either of the railroads
was able TO reach the city, the Rock
Island starting one from Chicago early
in the morning which had not been
heard from late in the afternoon. Wire

vice working poorly when at all. The
drifts were wet and heavy, and from

The storm was described as being
the worst one of a snowy winter, and
it came on top of another heavy fall
that had preceded it only few days
