quality Of a monopoly which stoops to

operation on go large a scale, the Stand
ard Oil company finds itself in full con-
troll Of the oil market throughout
large sectiops OF the United States. In
these sections prices go up. They keep
On going up. They become absnrjly
high as compared with prices charged at
more distant points from the company's
distribution centers and particularly in
European countries. Wherever the
Standard Oil company has the consume
at its mercy it proceede promptly t"
put on the screws.
There is nothing new in all this. The
people already know the methods Of the
Standard Oil company. Still, it Ia well
that the commissioner OF corporations
has told the story officially anG in detail.

TRUSTS AND CRIMINALS.

The growing deCIaud for the punish
nent of those who mismarage corpora
atioDs ~ telons Is due tu the recognized
fact that all corporations are personally
conducted enterprises. The individual
Is responsible for the corporate morals
There are in reality peIth.r good nor
bad corporations, rs such. a corpora
o is only "A mechanism invented and
used by men Tor their c~ouveniences and
profit WHAT liz done by it, either la~.
folly or unlawfully, is the act of men;
aud the men, not the mechanism, ar
responsible for it. IL a railroad train or
a street car, OF an automobile runs over
a person, we arrest the engineer, con-
Guctor, mortorman, or chauffeur, and
punish hun. We don't demoli-h th,
We fine thew. F!ning corporations is
no less absurd. Imprisonment is the
true remedy for rascnliry. 1t must be
cured or killed. IL the managers Of
corporations who swear falsely as to the
value of corporate pT0p'iiy IL order to
eYade taxes were punished by imprisrb

eenRer boats, involving death, werg

present situation Ia. az the New York
Journal Of Commerce declares that ~iD
the complication OF industrial, CONNER
cial and social conditions, we are apt to
lose sight of tie individual and his re-
sponsibility, permitting aim to hide In
the mazes of organizauOn.7 Whenever
a corporation violates tile law or evades
the law, every member OF it is guilty,
and ought to be punished according TO
the gravity 81 the o~tfeDse. There should
be no Irresponsible agency no inaminate
scape goat, ~ these matters. Il half
the men whose names figure in the Di-
rectory cf Directors were in prisoued, il
law breakers, the other half might be
safely trusted. There would then be no
@bad trusts because it wouldp,t pay
men tn make bad trusts, or trusts OF any
kind. There would be no tTuste, il
criminals were pnnIshe5. But criminals
ot high social standing viii never be
punished until the people elect 10 public
Office men who do not mak" use o; funds
contributed for campaign purposes by
,he Harrimans, the Rockerfellers and
the like. Such men are Mt large now be-
cause Corteiyou and Bliss received
money from them to elect Mr.. Roosevelt
To the presidency; and Roose Welt places
their attorneys and friends in the de-
pnrtment Of justice and on the bench OF
the federal courts. When the states,
such as North Carolina, pass laws for
the imprisonment uf railroad agents who
defy the states authority, these former
corporation n]tforHeys, lie Judge
Pritchard, attempt to nuilify those In VS.
Bot the states will imprisOn the criminal
agents OF the trusts, nevertheless. Gov.
cruor Glenn, OF NORTH Carolina, has set
an example ibai should, and probably
will bo widely iolfowe ~ Exchange.
