STANDARD OIL REBATE SUIT

The Standard Oil company has Issued
a pamphlet of some thirty pages, Civ
ing its side of the case in which It.
was recently fined nearly thirty mil
lion dollars for alleged violation OF
the law which prohibits accepting re-
bates from railroad by a shipper.
The Standard Oil Company is evident
ly anxious to have what it calls its
side of the case laid before the public,
as two copies of this pamphlet have
been received at this Office, one SEM TO
the paper and one to the editor per-
sonally. The pamphlet is too long for
us to reproduce and too long even to
give a synopsis of it's contents in a
way that would make an Ineligible
article Because of request from high
officials of the Standard Oil Company
we make mention of the fact OF tic

RATHER INCONSISTENT.

Governor Glenn tells the New YORK
Tribune reporter that he has discover
ed by investigation that the railroads
in this state can make a reasonable
profit on the two apd quarter cent
rate. and in another breath he pro-
poses to the railroads that they with
draw their suits brought for the pur-
pose of contesting this matter and try
the rate for a time so as to see
whether they can exist under it's pro-
visions. 1t strikes US that there is
somewhat of inconsistency in these
u statemens. If the railroads accept
the latter proposition and find that
their contention is correct-in other
words that they cannot exist under
the provisions of that law, how are
they going to recoup the loss sustained
while making the test? The injury
sustained will be a dead loss 70 the
stockholders with no possibility Of
recovery. 1t will b. Just that much
capital wiped out OF exist -nce Still
the governor saye ne :s the friend of
the railroads aid C CAPITA!

GROWTH OF PROHIBITION

The prohibition wave is sweeping
over the country, especially in the
southern states. In North Carolina
in very large majority OF
the counties there are no licensed sa-
looms, and every now and then there
is local option election in some town
which results in closing the saloons
or the dispensary, heretofore existing
in the town South Carolina wiped out
her state dispensary law not long ago.
Georgia, by an act of the legislature,
effective next January, has put an end
to the sale of liquor in that state.
The Mississippi legislature, which
meets next January, it is thought, will
follow the example of that of Georgia
Both the candidates for the democratic
nomination for governor in that state
have declared for state prohibition.
Vardaman, the present governor, has
declared in favor Of prohibition in his
state.
The probabilities are that Alabama,
Texas and Louisiana will establish pro-
hibition either by direct act of the leg
islature or by a vote of the people
under acts of the next llegislature sub
mitting the question to the people. 1t
would not be at all surprising to us
were the next legislature of this state
to pass a stralght-out prohibition bill
or an act submitting the question to
the people The indications are that
in less than two years we will have
prohibition in this state through one
or the other of these courses-by di'
rect action of the Legislature, as was
| done in Georgia, or by popular vote
The prohibition sentiment is making
| rapid growth in this state as in othei
| sections of the south There is many
| a man who will vote for prohibition
today who would not have done so {

We have heard a great deal aoout
the unwritten law in this country as
applied to murders for certain onenses
The people have gone very far in this
matter and the courts have given great
latitude to this new principle OF law,
but we are thankful we have not sono
as far as have the people in some OF
the old countries OF Europe. case
in point is that Of man in Hungary
who was indicted and tried short
while ago On the charge OF numbering
his eighteen-year-old daughter. The
accused admitted the murder, but
pleaded in defense that she was
ugly that there was no chance of'h1
ever marrying. For that reason the
father, perfectly sane and without any
other cause, deliberately murdered the
poor girl, and, strange to say, the jury
which tried the case accepted his
plea as a good one and brought in a
verdict of manslaughter.

The Transavaal people are going to
pay three hundred thousand dollars
for the purchase of the private inter-
ests in that seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollar diamond so that it
can be made a present to King Edward.
Under the mining laws the govern
ment has a three-fifth interest in all
diamonds mined Now we want, to
know who is going to pay for the pub
lies interest in the stone. When pre-
sented to the king it will belong to
his private property. 1t will belong to
Edward Guelf as a private individual
and not to Edward VII king of Eng
land. The king of Great Britain, as
do many of the other rulers Of Europe,
has a very large private fortune. His
mother was very economical and added
greatly to the family's fortune by her
savings and judicious investments.

railway passenger rate fight, but we
did not know that it figured TO the ex
tent shown in the statement made by
Governor Glenn to a New York Trib-
une reporter last Monday in which he
said, speaking of his determination u
call out the state militia to resist any
order the federal court judge may have
issued, that had he done so and tue
president had opposed federal troops
to the state militia that the re-
publican vote would have been cut
down to a good deal less than nalf
what it is now, and that's mighty
little. So the idea was to force q
conflict between the state and federal
authorities for the purpose Of the
political effect it would have. We did
not know that the political schemins
in this matter had gone beyond the
question Of choice of democratic nomi-
nee for senator, attorney general and 2
few other officers.
