COUNTRY RULED BY WOMEN
Stamp of the Feminine Mind Is Seen
on Almost Everything
in America.

Says Worlds Work: In the Unit.
ed States there are at least / 900, 900
more men than women and only one
tenth of the women are at work out
side of their own homes Yet the
stamp of the feminine mind is upon
everything American and in many of
the higher phases of culture women
take the initiative.
This rule of women In the United
States begins In our public schools,
where boys and girls are educated to-
gether and where the teacher Is al
ways in the lower grades at least, a
woman. In the great cities the femi-
nine influence goes into every nook
and Granny Of social development. A
woman has been suggested as mayor Of
Chicago and the "ciyic creed" of CHI
cago was composed by a woman and
Is recited every day by thousands Of
school children.
Women compose very largely the
reading public and no current novel
can succeed without their patronage
Some of the most successful magazines
are devoted to their interest exclu-
sively and those given to scientific
and philosophic discussions seldom ex-
list long or they become the organs Of
small and detached organizations of
men.
Art exhibits are conducted by WON
EN- and women hold executive Offices
in worlds fair committees. They
serve as chairmen of school boards
and they torment, through their mu-
nicipal leagues, the party leaders.
They are notable as charity workers
and they have made regulations as
doctors, lawyers, magazine editors,
newspaper reporters, preachers polit.
zeal speakers and labor organizers and
agitators. Indeed, where in The Unit.
ed States do we not find the woman
with her influence, battering at all
doors?

Mr.. Maxon said the same thing took
place at Urbana and Vandalia. There
were other means employed to crush
competition.
Every town Of Importance, said
the witness, has one dealer who
holds the greater part of the trade. IL
an Independent gets this dealer he can
put oil into that town in carload lots
and compete with the Standard. To
meet this situation I would send a
man to this dealer who would assure
him of the Standards deep interest
In his welfare. in proof of which senti-
ment the company would allow him
one-half cent rebate on every gallon
OF oil he should buy. This would win
him. Without his shipments the re-
mainder of the dealers would be I'M
able to command carload rates. The
result was that their business was
ruined and the Standard got 1t ALL"

later became Kercher Bros, and still
later the Springfield Oil company.
My brother, John Maxon, was man
ager of this company at different
times. This went on from 1893 TO
1906"
What were the methods of the fake
companies in getting the trader!
asked the attorney.
1--WE canvassed town from house
to house and located every consumer
of independent OIL" said Mr.. Maxom.
"Then the lists of the dealers were
sent to headquarters. l employed five
girls to make this canvass In De-
catur. They made list of the indie
pendent dealers, which sent to
Charles Kercher with instructions to
get their trade away from them by
any means and at any cost
Make Lamp Burn Smoky.
What were the means employed"
"One way" explained the witness,
was to visit each consumer and tell
him that the independent oil he was
using was inferior. The agent would
prove this by lamp tests. BY the SIM
pie trick of regulating the amount OF
air which reached the flame he could
make the Independent oil burn smoky
and the Standard oil clean and
bright. That's easy to do with the
same oil in each lamp. In the course
of time we would win over most Of
these housekeepers, and the independ-
ent dealers would have to come back
into line or lose their business per-
manently.

left the service because an independ-
ent got the majority Of the dealers.
