THE SUMMARIES COMPLAINT.

THE STANDARDS COMPLAINT
The foreign representatives of the
Standard Oil company complain that
foreign oil producers are taking adj
vantage Of the fight on the Standard
in this country to prejudice the peo-
pie of other countries against the
Standards products. These foreign
oil companies. it is asserted, represent
that the opposition to the Standard in
America arises from the poor quality
of oil and Stanard puts out. and that
this tends to narrow the market for
American oil.
OF course everyone in this country
knows that the quality of its produce
has nothing to do with the Standards
troubles in this country The quality
of the oil is regulated by law and II
is satisfactory. So far as the stand
ards production and manufacture of
kerosene, gasoline and the by-prod-
ucts of petroleum is concerned, they
are all right. 1t is only the Standards
violation of the law and the rights of
others in a commercial way that has
led to the fight on it.
If the Standard confined itself to le-
climate business competition and kept
within the limits of the law, no one
would object to it or question its right
to make all the money it could. The
fight against it has nothing whatever
to do with its products. but only with
the commercial methods it employs.

Iopeka IS having taste of munich
pal ownership. Believing that a water
company was charging them exorbi-
tant rates, the people of the city
bought the plant, expecting relief from
oppressive rates. Their hopes are not
realized. The city officials continue the
old rates although the earnings of the
plant are nearly large enough to pay
twice the amount required to operate
the plant and pay interest on the bonds
issued to buy it.-Leavenworth Post.
But isn't Topeka's experience a pref
ty good argument for municipal own
ership? If Topeka had not tried mu-
nicipal ownership the high rate would
have continued just the same. the ex-
cessive profits would have gone into
the pockets of private parties. and this
would have kept up indefinitely.
Now these profits go to the city and
are being used to extend the water
system, thereby bringing in new users
and making the earning power of the
plant still greater.
The extensions will be completed be-
fore many months. and then all the
water users, new as we'll as old, will
help pay for the plant together. Then,
too, the water rates VIII be reduced
more than they could have been re-
duced had the extensions not been
made
Certainly Topeka is having a taste
Of municipal ownership, and it is a
mighty good taste. 1t means a big re-
duction in water rates before long, and
in the course of years, a reduction to
point where they will just run the
plant and keep it up.

CIeanliness Id Homo and Abroad.

England, which has been properly
and justifably Mortified at the revela-
tons made concerning American pack
ing houses, will be yet more appalled,
at learning that the food products of
her own country show, in many cases,
an equally disgusting disregard for
cleanliness and aseptic conditions. Two
government inspectors, Miss Deane and
Miss Suieres, have found conditions in
the sausage, jam and chocolate factor
les. of the most repulsive character.
Apropos of all this, an interesting trav-
eler, the Count of Turin, cousin of the
King of Italy, who has been making a
tour of America and Europe, says that
after visiting several of the local / n
don packing houses, he has come to
the conclusion that the Chicago estab-
lishments were the cleaner. The truth
is, we require of wholesale purveyors
a standard of cleanliness which we too
frequently fail to enforce on our farms
and in our bakeries. The American
traveller who goes no farther than the
local boarding house. the country inn,
the urban hosiery or the railway eat
ing station, has data enough for a
startling culinary essay, were he mind
ed to write it; and what goes on in our
kitchens is something of which most
of us were happier to remain in ig-
norance.
