TEXAS GUSTS
THE OIL TRUST
And Fines 1t Over a Million and a
Half Dollars.
FIVE STATES ARE AFTER TRUST:
Jury in Texas Fines Corporation 81, 623,-
600 for Violation of Antitrust Laws
and Cancels Permit of Waters-P Pierce
Company to Do Business in That
State.

Washington Especially. = The de-
eision of Texas jury Saturday, find
ing the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
over a million and half dollars for
its violations of the antitrust law
and cancelling its permit to do bus
J ness in the state, is considered here
TO be body blow to Standard Oil.
The action is one of deep signi-
hcance. 1t comes at a time when
the Supreme Court of Missouri has
before it the report of its special
commissioner, which finds that the
same Waters Pierce Oil Company
has been violating the antitrust law
of that state, and recommends that
it's permit to do business be can
celled.
Although there has been very lit
tie doubt as to what action the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court will take, it is
believed that the Texas decision will
prompt quicker action.
The Oil Trust is treading perfect
labyrinth of legal prosecutions. Ohio,
Texas and Missouri have attacked it
under state antitrust laws. The
federal government is prosecuting it
under the Elkins Rebate Law in Illi-
nois, Tennessee, Missouri and New
York. 1t has been found guilty in
Chicago and the government is
awaiting the infection of sentence
by Judge Lands. Under the law the
minimum fines must reach $1,500,-
900. If the limit were imposed the
Standard would have to pay $780,
100000.
The circuit judges of the Eighth
circuit have just heard arguments
on the demurrer of the Standard Oil
to the governments bill, asking for
a dissolution An early decision is
expected. The court will then APP
point commissioner to take testi1
mony. The Department of Justice,
will use it's best endeavor to bring
the case to speedy conclusion.
In Ohio the state authorities are
pushing the Oil Trust in civil and
criminal proceedings. The Circuit
Court has just given black eye to
the trust by holding that the Probate
Court of Hancock County, which
fined the Standard $4,000, had jur-
isdiction. The question will be
fought out in the Supreme Court Cd
error.
The Standard will soon be forced
to trial in the Common Pleas Court
in Findlay, o., on 1900 indictments.
The protracted and sensational
fights which Missouri and Texas
have been waging against the Oil
Trust, and the astounding charges
emodied in the governments action
for dissolution, combined with the
disclosures of pipe line discrimina-
tions of more recent date made by
the Bureau of Corporations, have
been the means of greatly infiaming
an already aroused public opinion
throughout the country.
Austin, Tex. Especially. = In the
custer suit of the state against the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company jury
Saturday rendered verdict for the
state of $1,623,900 penalties and
granted the prayer of the state that
the company's permit to do business
in Texas be Cancelled. An appeal will
be asked for at once by the defense.

Mail Your Post Cards Properly

The local postoffice employees are hav-
ing troubles of their own, and it's all
due to a new order issued by the post
Office department regarding post cards
mailed with envelope enclosures. The
new order says that if post cards are
mailed in unsealed envelopes they are
subject to postage according to the
character of the message-at the first
class rate if partly or wholly in writ
ing, or the third class rate tone cent
for each two ounces or fraction there
of if entirely in print, and the postage
should be affixed to the envelopes.
Postage stamps affixed to such cards
inclosed in envelopes having AN opening
exposing the stamps cannot be recogn-
lied in payment thereon. Many post
cards are being mailed contrary to the
new ruling, and in consequence must
be held for postage. AS many do not
sign their whole name it is difficult to
ascertain who are the senders.

VENERABLE WATERS ON TOBACCO RAISING
AND USE.

THE DEAR OLD CENSOR: I am near
81 wears old, reader of the CENSOR
from its first appearance, as the North
Western Times (hard times) and in the
last few years have been sorry to read
the brag of Vernon county tobacco crop.
It is well-known the writer always gave
his influence against the use of tobacco,
also the liquor habit. Both of these
evils are detrimental to health. | have
Just been reading an article in The
Oregon Journal of Portland, What
goes up in smoke. !" The article is a
long one and taken from government
statistics and | make a few extracts.
IF all the cigars smoked in one year
were made in one cigar il would be
500. 600 miles long. The fiscal year
ending June, 1905 showed the sum of
money spent for cigars was Sl9S, lS6, :
372, and for cigarettes So, 1854, SOB, and
of chewing tobacco more than Sli0, 900,
600. of which it was estimated that
$50, 900, 900 was used in the pipe.
The article says this money would
build fifty-four battle ship or two Pa
mama canals in one year.
1.-The consumption of tobacco has in
creased from 29S, S94, 453 pounds in 1900
to 355, $40, 81 pounds in 1905. The con-
sumption of cigars and cigarettes has
increased q per cent since 1900. The
rise OF the tobacco industry has been
unprecedented. 1t is one of the most
prosperous of business in the world.
Even gold mining in this country in
1905 did not yield as much money as
the tobacco industry
The article is long one that every
man or woman who has the welfare OF
the boys of today at heart should read,
who in a few years will be the men at
the head of all the departments of state
and nation.
Is the use of tobacco beneficial to
mankind? Many states have laws pro-
hibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors.
Why is that? Because they know it is
injurious to health of body and mind.
Why do not boys of today take the ad-
vice of their m. hers, Son do not use
tobacco in any form" | think any
mother of intelligence will so advise her
son. | hope so. / want the grand and
greatgrand SOILS of my old friends, (and
othersl to think this matter over, and
be man in statute and intellect.

The CENSOR is pleased to lay before
its readers in this issue, on an inside
page, most interesting and instructive
letter from Henry C. Millard, treating
of government ownership in New Yea
land. Mr.. Willard is an entertaining
writer, an investigator of unusual fore
sight. The subject on which he writes
is being much agitated in this country,
especially among the socialists. Be.
cause of this agitation at home we may
be able TO CLEAN some facts from the
letters of Mr.. Willard taken from OBJ
servations in land where that system
prevails. A second article win appear
in next weeks issue. We urge care

NO USE TRYING. BOYS.

The Honorable Thorn. Cleary, politi-
cal sage of Platteville, has settled with
out even so much as contest, the con-
gressional succession in this the Third
district. While feasting down at Mil
waukee with Bryan and the hig'uns of
free-trade and free-silver fame, he gave
vent to the following profound politica.
wisdom:
Murphy viii be reelected. That is a
certainty. He will have as big a vote
from the republican side as he had
last year. You must understand that
down in the Third district party divisions
are in great measure wiped out. The
voters last year voted from principle
for Mr.. Murphy, and they will do so
again from all that | can learn. The
presidential year will not cut any figure
whatever. Mr.. Murphy is popular all
over the district, and honestly believe
that he will be reelected by a larger
majority than he had last year.
