THE STANDARD OIL AND THE
LAW.

The Hepburn Rate law IF 1906 is a
new toy in Washington. It's varnish
is yet sticky. The Department of Jus.
tice IS still using the EIkins act to
punish illegal relating.
Yet the Standard Oil Company has
already made its arrangements to
evade the new law to "conform to
it," Mr.. Mllburn says in merry Jest.
Already it has, upon Mr.. Milburn g
advice. built tanks upon the state lines
at Unionville on the New York-New
Jersey fire at Fond Grove on the
Observation-Disclosures line, at Cen
terbr'dge on the New Jersey-Pennsyl-
vania line, and so on.
The rate law brings interstate pine
lines under its provisions and forbids
rate discrimination. These new tanks,
jocularly called terminals" profess
to receive oil sent across one state by
one company and deliver it in the ad-
joining state to another company, all
companies being owned by the Stand
ard. Thus the claim is set up that
piping oil from Indian Territory to
Grcenpoint is not interstate business.
incidentally, the last links in this
chain include pipe line across Cen

POOR REAR ADMIRALs.

Announcement by the assistant Sec
retary Of The navy that rear a6mirals
mrst socn undergo a test Of their
abilities to swim has caused c.,nster-
nation among the gallant old sea-dogs,
many Of whom have known the touch
Of only bath tub and Florida water
for many years.
The order comes following one in
the war department to the effect that
all ctlonels must be able to ride
horseback.
According to u Washington dis
patch. tie test planned for the rear
admirals isto have them dive
from shore and swim out to their
ships. How far out the ships
are to be is left to the humane
instincts of the navy department.
Whether the test is also to include
high wing and bringing up coins
from the bottom cf the ocean has not
been announced.
Just why it is necessary that rear
admirals should be able to swim is not
clear. IN admiral ought to be able to
swim and a railroad president ought
to be able to run a passenger engine,
but most of them can't. And the rail-
roads get along fairly well.
1t may be possible that the y
posed orders come from the fact
some rear admirals will not ta

ought to be made to learn swimmin.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE

fatally or seriously injured and thou

Some American Catholics are be-
coming very much dissatisfied with the
influences that surround the good
Pope Plus Y, and the dissatisfaction
grows every day. Several very revo-
lutionary orders have recently been
'ssue,l bv the pope, and the last one
is more dista>teful than any of the
preceding ones. 1t is as fcllows:
"Modernists are to be removed from
professorships and the direction Of
educational institutions. The clergy
and faithful are not to be allowed to
read mcdernist publications. A Gems
mittce of censorship is to be estab,
lisled in every diocese to pass upon
the publications which the clergy and
faithful shall be permitted to read"
Many American Catholics look upon
that as in attempt to return to the
dark ages.-Investigator.
