facts, Not Fiction.

Fond du Lac Commonwealth,
The astounding revelations made in
the course Of the Standard Oil inquiry,
conducted in New York Wednesday by
Federal Prosecutor Frank B. Kellogg,
adds an interesting chapter to the pro-
ceedings which have been in progress
against the oil trust for some time past.
The veil of mystery, which has hither-
to screened the inner workings of Stan
dard Oil from the eyes of a curious pub
lie, has been ruthlessly torn aside by
this clearheaded, fearless representa-
tive of the federal government and some
important facts brought to light which
tend to confirm suspicious that have
been held for long time. 1t is one of
the instances where the facts seem
more dazzling than fiction, for they tell
of profits which had hardly been mag
ined as pouring into the treasury of
even so powerful corporation as the
Standard Oil company.
1t is shown, for instance, that the
seventeen subsidiary companies poured
profits aggregating SAT, $40, 9S5 into the
oil trust Golfers in single year, while
the Standard Oil company, of Indiana,
a concern capitalized at 81, 900, 600,
proves to be the richest mine of all,
having turned in the sum of so, 00o, 900,
thus netting the staggering profit of
200 per cent. II is this company which
ran amuck in Judge Lands court and
was fined 500, 240, 600 for violations of
the anti-rebate law, and the uncovering
of its profits will not have tendency
to arouse any new burst of sympathy
for the defendant.
These profits of single year are
typical of profits o. preceding years,
amounting as they 90 to nearly half a
billion in eight years. This is no fiction
of the magazine type, but testimony
dragged forth bit by bit in court, and
which the Standard Oil company has
been seeking all these years to keep un-
der cover, even defying the courts as
long as its principal officers and stock
holders dared to keep up such policy.
Just what will be the result of the in
vestigation, now in progress, it is diff
cult to say, but it is certainly refresh
ing to realize that the Standard Oil re-
cords have ceased to be held too sacred
to be presented in federal tribunal.

Practical Advice 10 Farmers.

The Evening Wisconsin cites Mime
sofa decision indicating the advisability
that persons who insure property
against destruction should study their
policies to avoid disappointments. On
this subject, the Monthly Weather Re
view, published by the government, has
the following editorial note
The distinction between the destruc-
tive winds of tornado, a hurricane, a
blizzard a straight line squat or der
echo. as it is called by Hnrichs, or the
vents de grains, as they are called by
Durand-Greville, is important for sew
eral reasons, The insurance companies,
if policies specify insurance against tor
nadoes, are very likely to evade pay
ment if it can be shown that the de-
structive wind belonged to the squall or
some other class, so that the farmers
would do well to see to it that when
they insure against damage by light
ming, rain, hail, winds, etc, the policy

shall say just that and no more, omit
ting all reference to tornadoes, squalls,
cyclones, hurricanes, etc.
The Review also gives a warning
against the careless construction of wire
fences. 1t says:
The barbed wire fence, which has
spread so widely since 1875, has come
to be recognized as dangerous form
of lightning conductor, and the injuries
to cattle are innumerable; but we be-
lieve it has been abundantly shown that
the danger is entirely dissipated if only
the posts to which the fence is attached
are properly connected by wire to a
moist soil below. In this way every
post becomes a conductor, instead of an
insulator, and the electricity is carried
safely below.
AS the Review has only limited cir
culation, and both these pieces of ad-
vice to farmers are valuable, the Even
ing Wisconsin deems it proper to give
them publicity in this place.

THE stealthy destruction of the ma
chinery of the Joplin, Mo-, News-Her-
aid by dynamite is case of rank de-
pravity that may well arouse general
action, and that warrants an extraor-
binary effort to arrest the guilty par
ties. Such an otrense is practically a
foul blow at all property. 1t shows the
same spirit as assassination from mo-
tyes Of spite. Another important point
is that the Joplin paper was making a
fight for law enforcement and thus
aroused the malignant passions of those
who it seems would stoop to any crime.
A newspaper thus assailed is not likely
to be loser in the end, but the infam-
Gus crime touches social order, common
rights and the protection of the law
that every citizen should have. The
news of the apprehension of the authors
OF this black and cowardly villainy
would be welcomed by the general pub
lie. No pains should be spared to push
the search with the greatest vigor.
