One hundred million dollars per an

Standard Oil company's profits and
80 per cent of the stock of this trust is
in the hands of fifteen men. While it
has been clearly proven that much of
this money is extorted from the public
by methods purely dishonest, yet it
has so far been found impossible to
put a stop to the company's thievery.
1t is true that the oil trust has been
heavily fined, but much doubt exists
whether these fines will ever be paid.

That the emperor of Germany is not

painted is shown by his speech to a

mission to care for the working peo-
pie, and would like to see concilia-
tory spirit extend all over the empire.
To whoever is ready to work with me
towards this end I am prepared to
give my hand. During my long reign
of twenty years I have often had to
endure humiliations, inflicted inten.
tionally or unintentionally by others.
When I have felt anger overcoming
me have asked myself what was the
best means of suppressing it. The
only way I have found was of saying
to myself: They are all men, as !
am, and although they humiliate me
they have souls Illuminated by heaven

and in their souls there is a.. portion
of the creator Whoever thinks thus

dam hero, has effected a settle
ment with the Chippewa Log and
Boom company through an intermedi-
ate party whereby he will receive
$4,000 for permitting the intermedi-
airy to drive the accumulated logs

INSCRIPTIONS boom company, the

compelling all of these corporations
to comply with certain requirements
