The Status of Standard Oil.

1t takes time, patience. ability and
| unfiinching determination to round
up such a powerful and rapacious or
ganization as Standard Oil, but the
roundup is certainly taking shape.
Missouris custer proceedings against
the trust have resulted in the finding
of Commissioner Anthony in favor OF
the contentious of Attorney General
Hadley. This is substantially the
same as an opinion from member
of the state supreme court, subject to
the approval of associates. The Fed
eral government recently secured con
victions against Standard Oil in the
Chicago trial on more than 1,4O0
counts, involving possible fines of 2S
millions-almost as many. millions as
the head of the trust gave il a single
gift to his pet educational institu-
tion, the Chicago university.
In the Ohio and Pennsylvania impor
tant cases went against the trust.
Specific actions il otner states have
resulted favorably. Various state
laws have been made to force the mo-
nopoly into fair relations with indie
pendent producers and shippers. Kan
sas, for example, has protected all
markets in the state against the high
handed methods of Standard Oil, but
outside of Kansas the markets are
practically closed because of the ma
nipulation of rates and the abuses OF
the pipe line business.
But the government at Washington
is now preparing a general movement
against Standard Oil under the autho-
rity granted in the new Rate law,
which makes pipe lines common car
riers. The Commissioner of Corpora
tiOnS has submitted to the President
a complete review of the history of
the trust, of its methods, past AID pre-
sent and of the conditions prevailins
in the various producing fields and
in the principal markets. This report
will enable the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Department of
Justice to develop a general and har-
monious plan of action. The result
should be the complete and perma
nent subiection of the trust, the col
lection of vast fund in fines and the
criminal punishment of the oil and
railway officials who have been most
fragrant in their disregard for law.
Unfortunately it will be impossible
to undo all the wrong that has been
done by this predatory combination
All the fines and prison sentences and
enforced restrictions will not refm-
burse the people for the extortiols
they have suffered nor compensate
those oil men whose fortunes, some
big and many small, nave been swept
away by this r1thless monopoly. But
exemplary punishme1ts can be inf1ict-
ed and conditions can be restored IN
der which the railroads and Standard
Oil must respect competition. The
power of money over legislation and
administration has not yet been ami
hilated but it has been broken. and il
is only a question of time when its
hold will be lost. This result is inevi

tics-a system that makes the cham
pionship of the Square Deal the best
of all politics.-Kansas City Star.

About a month ago the Superior Re
fini1g Company of LOngton, Kanssa
one of the many Independent Refin-
cries, located in that State, through
its secretary and treasurer, Mr.. NJ.
Miller, arranged to put in storage
tanks in Roswell and to make this
one of their distributing points for
the Pecos Valley. 1t took only few
days for the Continental Oil Company
under which name the Standard Oil
Trust does business in the Rocky
Mountain country to take notice and
today their usual methods of driving
out competition is il full force and
effect Oil. that up to last Saturday
was sold at 25c a gallon is today sold
at 15 cents
As it does everywhere, the
trust will cut the price of oil until
ii drives out the competition, and
thus can be explained the big reduc-
tion that went into effect in Roswell
yesterday.
After competition has been driven
out, the usual results follows, i. e.,
raising of prices until all losses sus-
tanned in the cuts made by this
heartless and souIless monopoly nave
been doubly repaid and the consumer
pays the bill.
The Superior Refinery Company
promises to give to the people of Ros
well and vicinity, good goods at hon.
est prices, and asks the general pub
lie for trial of their goods, and let
the customer be the Judge of their
quality. This Company makes only
high grade goods and guarantees per
feet satisfaction and safety in their
use. 1t is ND to the people mere to
show by their patronage to the new
company whether or not they Will be
oh &n ranlaff1 in the field and give
the public, honest competition or
whether they will allow the Standard
Oil Trust, to drive il out of the field.
But the Superior Company does
not propose to be run out. 1t has good
backing and will be able to fight the
trust to a finish. Meanwhile. the peo-
pie of Roswell and the Pecos Valley
will be the gamers, and it behooves
them to patronize the company that
Is the cause of the benefit. The trust
is giving a deep cut on the price OF
oil, but ii is not any love for the peo-
pie that is the cause of it.

Son, Kan, is now in the city looking
after work that has been done in
starting of the new business AID di-
recting that which is yet to be done.
