ITS INSOLENCE Is UNENDURABLE
Standard Oil Company Must Con-
form to Justice or Fail
Utterly.

Ida M. Tarbell, than whom there is
no better authority on the ms and outs
Of the Standard Oil system, says that
the days of the company in it's old
form are over.
She rejoices in the severity of the
Lands fine and says:
''The difficulty with the men in the
Standard Oil company seems to be that
they have no sense that the public has
any part in the conduct of corpora
tions. They utterly lack the collective
sense. It is individualism gone mad
reduced to an absurdity. The public
for thirty-fve years has been trying to
make the Standard Oil company play
fair. 1t has given the trust repeated
warnings in the way of uprisings, the
passage of laws and adverse decisions.
But every time the trust has snapped
his fingers and gone on in the same
old way.

SHOWS STRONG GROWTH in BANKS
State of Minnesota Has Been Max
Ing a Fine Record.

There were 1872 new national banks,
organized in Minnesota during the
period from March 14th, 1900, when the
new banking law went into effect, up
to July 31st, 1907. These 1872 banks
have a combined capital of 81, 52l, OOo~
Altogether Minnesota has 245 ma

SON TURNS AGAINST HIS FATHER
Unusual Scene Enacted in a St. Pc.
ter Court Room.

In the trial of case at ST. Peter
last week Judge Olsen had the novel
experience of seeing a young man vol
UNFAIRLY walk to the witness stand and
under oath charge his own father with
deliberately conspiring to perpetrate a
fraud.
The case was that of the First Ma
tional bank OF St. Peter against Ed
ward, John and Henry Maltz.
Edward Maltz is the father of the
other two and up to last fall was the
owner of fine farm of two hundred
acres in Lake Prairie township.
On this $4,000 farm, about two
years ago, he erected a magnificent
country residence. It was a residence
far beyond the needs of any farmer
and one that was bound in short time
to hamper the builder financially.
Maltz was not man, however, to
be bothered long over any such diff
Guilty. Going to banks in St. Peter,
LIE Sueur and Gaylord and to individ-
uals who were his friends, he asked
from each the loan of a few hundred
dollars.
His credit being good, the money
was readily forthcoming, on no other
security than his personal note, and
with the So, 500 or more thus raised he
proceeded to pay off his debts.
Then developed the wicked side OF
Edward M altz' character.
knowing that he had given the banks
and his friends nothing more than a
mere personal promise to pay, he
thought he saw chance to avoid pay
ment altogether. By deciding over his
I property to his sons, he would leave
his creditors in a position where they
would have to 'ssweat some" for their
money, but what difference did thai
make to him? Was not the property
his to do with as he wanted, and die
not consideration for his children take
precedence over all else in determin.
ing his actions?
So, evidently, he reasoned and sc
he acted.
But in his figuring he overlooked
two things, both of which happened.
The First National bank officers
didn't relish the old mans plan O.
playing them for suckers and immedi
ately instituted proceedings to annu
the conveyance.
The younger son, Henry, couldn'
get along with his father and brother
and when it came to the trial of tn

The Minneapolis Journal of Sunday
contained an interesting sketch OF
Thomas Perry, the veteran St. Peter
printer and editor.
ssTom," as the old-timers Of this
section prefer to know him, is best re-
membered in New Ulm as a fiddler at
country dances, but from the Journals
sketch 1t is evident that he found time
between quadrilles to stick type and
write ''stuff,' and lots of it, for the
opinion moulders Of Nicollet and LIE
Sueur counties. The Journal says:
"Mr. Perry, who is now seventy
three years of age, has literally been
a printer all his life. AS a child he
played about the racks and cases in
his fathers Office in Michigan, and at
eight he learned to set type on the
Mt. Clemens Patriot
'In 1855 General Willis A. German,
territorial governor of Minnesota,
sent to Michigan for the elder Perry
and his son to take charge of the St.
Peter Courier, one of the first papers
to be printed in the Minnesota valley.
Governor German wanted an organ to
promote the removal of the state capt.
tol to st. Peter from ST.. Paul and the
Perrys issued the paper until 1858. In
that year Tom moved the plant to
Cleveland village and started the
Leader, LIE Sueur county's first paper.
Inside of few weeks he had precipi-
tated the Cleveland-Le Sueur county
seat fight, known as the "Le Sueur
war;" which resulted in a victory for

pie do not propose to endure it any
longer. The Standard Oil men are
not only insolent, but they are stupid
as we'll, and show that they entirely
misunderstood the power of public
opinion and the genuineness of the
public's sense of fair play.
"They have had every chance to re-
adjust their business and conduct it
as gentlemen should, and all they have
ever done after a public explosion is
to readjust it so they could carry on
their same old practices in a new way.
Mr.. Rockefeller never has taken any
public verdict against himself very
seriously.
II hope the fine will be collected,
but [ think with Mr.. Rockefeller that
it will be some time before it will be
paid. If it is collected, the public
will pay it the public always pays
under present conditions.
'Mr. Rockefeller is fanatic. His
great strength lies in his power to con-
centrate everything on one result and
work to it without the least deviation.
He has been doing that from the first
but he never has grown, morally OF
socially. They had such men in the
middle ages, but there are not many
of them nowadays"

toe ready to come forward and accuse
his father of having executed the deed
with no other purpose than to defraud

just what Judge Olsen's decision in
the matter will be no one can abso-
1utely say, but merely as guess we'd
like to bet dollars to doughnuts that it,

KELLER's GOOD RECORD.
Has Batting Average of 1857 In Four
teen Seasons.

Though While Keeler has not shown
much with the bat this year. he has a
record covering his Il years In the
major leagues which has never been
equaled by any player, and probably
never will be. According to J. Ed.
Grillo, the diminutive little fielder, who
only uses a few inches OF his bat to
hit with. has not been batting up to
his usual mark this season, but 1t is a
safe guess that before the present cam
paign Is over he win be found up with
the topnotchers. Keller Ia always a
late beginner. He usually doesn't be-
gin to get his hits until late in June.
and then piles them up so fast that
he soon overcomes the slump which he
has suffered earlier In the spring.
Just a word about Willies work. He
has a grand batting average of 1851 for
IA years of ball playing. During the
entire II years he has not failed to hit
for over 300. He has led the National
league twice in batting. The best per-
ccntage he ever attained was made
when he was with Baltimore in the
National league. He hit for .432 that
year. Another year he batted for 1892
Keeler's average statistics since 1898
follow:
