Attorney General Hadley is more
than half right when he says that
for many of the evils that exist to-
day in civil and industrial affairs,
the lawyers are to blame for lend
ing their influence to the corpora
tion interests that seek to evatle
the law, instead OF to the people
who are striving to enact just and
equitable laws. He says this is
not a new condition, for if you
look into history it will he found
that the same state of affairs has
existed siuce the Magma Charta. "
But in this day and generation the
tendency is more pronounced prob.
ably than at any other period in

Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
TEN, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, cpl
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy. irritated,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
ing, strengthening and rclicv-
ing the tension upon the nerves
not by paralyZing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills do
rot contain opium, morphine,
choral, cocaine or similar drugs.

PREVAILING BUSINESS CON
DITIONS.

y note Of alarm comes from the
petroleum pJoducers of Indian Ter.
ritory that the proceedings of At.
torney General Hadley against the
Standard Oil Company for its ylo.
Iatlons Of the trust laws OF this
state threaten to ruin their busi-
I ness. The Standard has issued
orders that until further notice on.
~ one.third of the products of
their wells would be taken, and
they fear that the trust will cease
altogether 10 take their product.
With this fear before them Of hay-
ing TO shut down, the petroleum
producers Of the West are organiZ.
ing to send delegation to Kansas
City TO appeal to the Standard 10
withdraw its order, and failing in
that to call on Attorney General
Hadley for a conference and ascer
tain whether he intends to con
tinue proceedings which may pre-
vent the Standard, whose pipe
lines run through a portion Of
Missouri, from transporting petro.
leum across the State. "
The people of that section have
reason to be alarmed, for if the
threatened policy of the Standard
oil monopoly is carried out, il
would ruin their petroleum indus
try perhaps for years; but it EN-.
phasizes the fact of the monopoly
which the oil trust exercises over
the whole country, and the power.
full hold it and other trust monopo.
lies have on all the avenues of
trade. They arbitrarily dictate the
prices Of crude material and the
selling prices of the finished pro.
duct, without regard to the law of
supply and demand, and crush out
competition or industries wher-
ever they will. The producers of
crude material and the consumers
Of the finished product are alike at
their mercy. They defy the laws
Of the land, and if any attempt is
made to force them to comply with
avs intended to protect the people
from eXtOrtion, so strongly en-
trenched are they that by way of
retaliation they can infict indus
rial stagnation on any given sec.
ion.

 The discussion and arguments pre- scented during the afternoon by the representatives of the miners and ope- rators showed no change whatever in the situation and especially the fact that so far as indications can deter mine the opposing sides are no nearer ar agreement than they were when tho first conference was held. The pres- ent wage scale will expire Saturday and unless an agreement is reached before its expiration 225,000 miners In the four states will be called from the mines.
