UNMAsKED AGAIN
Charges of Ida Tarbeil Against Stand
ard Oil Substantiated ~

The report of Commissioner Gar
field upon the relations existing be-
tween the railroads OF the country
and the, infamous Standard Oil COM
pany is another unmasking OF corpor-
ate criminality, based upon greed that
ought to arouse the anger OF every
honest man. This report shows that
neither the railroads nor the Standard
have cared the snap OF their fingers
about the law of the land; that both
have repeatedly and unabashedly vlo-
lated the law; that the power OF the
railroad has been constantly employ
ed to aid the oil trust to crush out
competition and fasten upon the con-
sumers of the country an oligarchy
that is not only industrial and imam
cial, but political.
The facts presented are of a most
damning character. They back up
every charge made by Ida Tarbell and
give yerisimiltude to the statements
of Baker, Lawson and all OF the other
magazine writer's who have been 'ex-
posing the railroads and the Oil
trust. They put an ineradicable talnt
upon every dollar owned by Rockefel-
Ter, the pious old hypocrite who vio-
lates the law of the land to amass
dollars which he unctuously doles out
in part to charity, church and bene-
violence. They tear away from his
defenders every barricade they have
attempted to rear against public SEN
timent. ss
The report makes it plain to every
one that the railroads have obeyed
the law against rebates only when 1t
pleased them to do so, and makes
reasonable the supposition that the
Standard Oil company is not the only
one that is favored in this unlawful
manner.
But above all the facts presented
accentuate the absolute need of an
efficient governmental regulation and
control of the railroad highways OF
the country.-Evening News, Lincoln,
Neb.

quirer know that every dollar bill
which circulated in the country has a
silver dollar behind it in the treasury?
Does the Inquirer want the govern
ment to call in the $460,000,0O0 of sill
yer certificates, redeem them in gold
or bonds and then increase our sub
sidiary silver from $117 ,0O0, 900 to near
ly $700,O00000?
All Of our silver stock is in active
use, either as coin in actual circula-
ton or as silver certificates. Some
may question the stability of our sill
!ver circulating medium on a parity
with gold, but surely no one can as
sert truthfully that our silver money
is useless, for it is all in circulation
in one form or another. The Inquirer
evidently doesn't comprehend the
money situation Houston Post.

FREE ALCOHOL NO MENACE

Commissioners John w. Yerkes of
the internal revenue bureau appeared
before the senate committee on f.
nance and discussed the denatured
alcohol bill. He explained the rules
and regulations of other countries,
which provide for the free denatural-
ization of alcohol, and assured the
committee that after the spirits have
been so treated it would be infinitely
more expensive to attempt restora-
ton for drinking purposes than to con-
duct an illicit still. The treasury de-
partment chemist, c. A. Frampton,
explained the difficulty in removing
the denaturalizing element, and said
that little fear need be entertained
on the score that free alcohol may be
used in the preparation of intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t was agreed that rep
resentatives of the wood alcohol man.
ufacturers shall be heard on Monday
in opposition to the bill.

A PHILADELPHIA FiNANclER

The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
Congress might keep all the minis
busy for quite a while if it would set
them to work recoining the useless
silver dollars into needed fractional
currency n,v
Where are the useless silver dol
lars? Does not the Inquirer know
that the Silver dollars in the treasury
are represented by silver certificates
and to all practical purposes are al
ready in circulation? Does not the In

favored him.
The free pass is altogether obJec-
tionable and odious, whether it repose
in the pocketbook Of the judiciary or
is demanded and accepted by the legis-
lator or the executive officer of what
ever rank or file.
Perhaps it might almost be said
that any public official who is small
enough to accept pass is small
enough to be influenced by it. Oma-
