Even the Standard Oil Company, whose off
GERS formerly joked at the laws Of their country,
is becoming amenable to public opinion. The
Standard Oil Company recently made an elabo-
rate defence of its methods and declared the war
of the government upon it would seriously affect
the industries of the country. Formerly the
Standard Oil paid no attention to the feeling of
unrest but the officers of the Rockefeller concern
may finally conclude the government is big
enough to fight even such corporation as the
Standard Oil.

EarIy shoppIna Insisted on.

Editor The Evening Journal.
II has been predicted by business
men and shopkeepers that the next two
weeks viii be the busiest ever expert
enced In this city. and through your
column permit me to can the attention
Of shoppers to the necessity OF early
visits to the stores. The salespeople
viii be under a heavy strain during
the holiday season, and the general
public should assist IN making their
burden as light as possible. There are
thousands OF young girls in the stores
and they dread the approach OF the
holidays on account OF the great rush
IN trade. The strain is so great on
their constitutions that many Of them
are forced to go home during the day
or to leave their counters for recuper-
alton in the rest room" Shoppers
can greatly reduce this strain on the
girls by shopping early in the week
and early IN the day.
There are wise shoppers who do not
wait until the last two weeks, but they
buy a month ahead. They are given
better attention by the salesladies and
are not caught IN the Christmas rush.
Yet there are others who wait until
the last day. In the course OF a feT
years Christmas shoppers will realize
the advantage of buying early and the
annual rush will be a thing OF THE
past.
Yours truly,
Shopper.

JUDGE PENNEwILL MIsREPREsENTED.

TT Nd the Sunday Star and the Philadelphia
papers published the death or resignation
of Judge Pennewill it would have been as true
as the story printed yesterday to the effect that
he has consented to become a candidate for
United States Senator. Judge Pennewill is not
a senatorial candidate in any sense of the word
and he has not said or done anything that could
possibly be construed to mean otherwise. In the
most direct and unequivocal language he has as
serted himself on this matter, and under the cir
cumstances it must be deeply Notifying to him
TO be deliberately misrepresented There was not
the least foundation for the story and its publica
ton was neither justified nor excusable.

After an investigation of more or less intensity
it appears that no one is to blame for the recent
wreck on the Southern Railway Company lines
in Virginia, in which President Spencer of that
company lost his life. Both operators dsclaim
responsibility for the accident The travellers on
railway lines are interested in knowing how such
accidents are possible. Train dispatchers as
rule are undergrad They work long hours. For
some reason the railway companies, judging by
the salaries such men receive value their serv-
ices low, and yet the safety of hundreds of pas
sengers depends on the accuracy and faithfulness
of these dispatchers.

Part of that advance dividend which the Della
ware Railroad Company pays to its stockhold. S
comes out of the pockets of the people of this
city and State The company should be easily
enabled to pay more dividends so long as its
property is assessed at such low figures and it
pays such small taxes for the privileges that it
enjoys And there is no relief or hope in sight.
1t looks as though the next General Assembly will
be very strongly under railroad influences. In
fact, Delaware is really pocket borough for the
railroad companies.

how men, called models OF propriety In
their private lives, could at the same
time be robbers In business. To shake
this belief, disclosures followed upon
disclosures. 1t was shown how the oil
king had ruined thousands and thou
sands OF men who did not fall In with
his ideas OF business or stood in his
way to success. More recently have
come the revelations OF insurance
steals. Stories Of how policy holders
paid for the entertainment OF an ac-
tress who danced on table for the
delectation OF the officers OF the con.
Germ were succeeded by tales OF how
these same officers made fabulous
sums by specializing with trust funds
for whose safety they were supposed
TO be responsible. And every day
more incidents of this kind are coming
TO light. II is small wonder that the
subject OF business morals Is deeply

THE GRAFT INVESTIGATION
WAVE.

Now that we have regular graft
reform wave in Chicago, 1t is 10 be
hoped II will not subslde until some
thing practical has been accomplished.
The worst Of 1t about most of
these reform waves Is that after the
first sensation in connection with them
has died down, and newspapers cease
10 devote space and big headlines TO
them, the public lose interest and those
engaged In the work allow it TO tizzle
out and nothing Is done.
If there has been all the graft under
municipal and county governments
that recent publications would lead
one 10 believe, 1t Is high time that it
was all brought TO light, and the Of
Tenders properly handled by the proper
authorities. 1t Is 10 be hoped, there
fore. that the various graft inyestlga-
tiGus now under way will be thorough
aud rot rellnqulshed until something
