PROHIBITION WILL BE LAW IN
FIVE MONTHS.
The victory is won.

The victory is won.
By vote of 139 to 80, the house
Of representatives has passed the
Hardman-C Covington bill, putting ab-
solute prohibition into effect on jan
uary /, 1908.
The bill must go to the senate for
concurrence in amendments which
have already been recommended by
the temperance committee of that
body, and which will certainly be
adopted. Then it goes to the gov
ernor for his signature, and will be-
come law. The governor has
pledged himself to sign the bill.
1t was Seaborn Wright, of Floyd,
who opened the battle of oratory.
For twenty and one-half minutes he
spoke, and everybody in the house lis
tened. He reviewed the amendments
and substitutes which had been of
fered and his words showed that in
trying to change or alter the measure
decided upon after careful delibera-
ton by the majority, the minority
was rushing against stone wall
Adams, of Chatham, led the at
tack against this stone wall, in a
speech of seventeen minutes. 1t was
forceful 1t was eloquent. But with
all It's force and eloquence, it lacked
convincing power, and when it was
finished not rent was there in the
stone wall.
The vote on the Barrow amend
ment, to postpone making the bill eff
fective until January l, 1909, and
making the state license 81, ,OO0-in the
meantime, was the first test vote as
to prohibition strength.
This vote of 128 to 40 filtered
through the doors into the corridors
and was eagerly received by the wait
ing throng. A mighty shout went up.
The final roll call on the bill-the
call that was to make Tuesdays 8
session Of the lower house one that
would be marked from any other in
many years commenced at Gas
o o'clock. Each member was allowed
three minutes to explain his vote.

Each Shipment a Violation.

but one offense, and maintained that
there could be a conviction on only
one count. The court held that the
law is violated every time any prop
erty is so transported, as the legal
rate was established by the railroad
company on car lot basis. The
unlawful Scent rate was granted and
accepted on that basis.
AS to the defendants claim that
the representations by the Alton rate
had misled it into the sincere belief
that the Alton Scent rate had been
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the court held that as
the law required the carrier to keep
the schedule at its freight Office for
public inspection, it was the defen-
dants' duty to ascertain at the rail
road S office whether the rate was so
fixed, and it being for the jury to
determine whether testimony exhib-
tied the truth of the transaction.
The jury having found a verdict of
guilty, it became the duty Of the
court to fix the punishment.
The court then discussed the evil
dence offered by the defendants to
the effect that during the period COW
cred by the indictment, the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad
published an open rate of IA cents
from Whiting to East st. Louis. fhe
court held that this fact should be
considered in mitigation if true, al
though inadmissible before the jury
as to guilt or innocence, and the
court after the verdict had been
given directed the prosecution of all
schedules by that railroad. From
these it appeared that the Eastern
Illinois, in connection with other rail
way company, issued and filed with
the Commerce Commission a class
tariff and fixed the rate at Is cents
from Chicago to East st. Louis.
On October 9, 1895, the Eastern
Illinois Company fled with the COM
mission its commodity tariff fixing a
rate of 6 IA cents on oil from Dalton,
ILL.,, to East st. Louis, and providing
that out Of this rate a switching
charge of not to exceed So per car
would be absorbed on shipments from
Whiting, Ind.
On July l, 1908, sixty days prio~
to the beginning Of the period COW
cred by the indictment in this case,
the Eastern Illinois issued its joint
tariff No. 1859. This general class
tariff provided that between Chicago
suburban stations, including Whiting.
Ind, and East st. Louis, ILL.,, "the
current rates in effect from Chicago,
Ill, should apply, except on coal,
coke, grain and grain products, lum-
Der and articles taking the same rates
or arbitraries higher, live stock and
hay"
Oil Not Excepted.

modities thus excepted from these
class rates. Among the tariffs spe-

24U,00O, the maximum amount on
each one of the 1852 counts of the
Indictment on which that company
was recently convicted of rebating.
The judge also recommended that
a call be issued for a special Grand
Jury, which is to consider the other
party to the rebating operations of
which the Standard Oil Company was
found guilty, and it is, therefore,
probable that within short time pros
ceedings will be begun against the
Chicago offenses,
The reading of the opinion by
Judge Lands aroused almost as
much interest as the presence of
John D. Rockefeller and other off
cials of the Standard Oil Company
upon the witness stand. The court.
room was crowded to its utmost car
pacity, and the United States Deputy
Marshals were finally compelled to
refuse admission to all late comers.
The government was represented
in the COURTROOM by United States
District-Attorney Sims and by AS
sistant District-Attorney Wilkerson.
The only attorneys of the Standard
Oil Company present in the court.
room were Attorneys Eddy and Mar
tin, neither Of whom bore a promi-
nent part in the actual trial Of the
case.
Attorney Miller, the leading coun-
sci for the Standard Oil Company.
was in Europe and his chief assis-
tant, Moritz Rosentha1, was in New
York. Only few Of the lesser Off
cials Of the Standard Oil Company
were in the courtroom.
Judge Lands began reading his
decision at TO o'clock and consumed
approximately one hour before he
announced the penalty.
Judge Lands in his decision said
it was proved on. the trial that the
defendant, corporation of Indiana,
operates an oil refinery at Whiting,
Ind; that the Chicago and Alton
Railway Company, corporation of
Illinois, operates a line of railroad
from Chicago to East ST. Louis, ILL.,,
and that the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer Railroad operates a switching
road from Whiting across the state
line into Illinois, intersecting the
Alton Road at station called Chap
pell, a short distance from Chicago,
and that there are three companies
operating terminal roads from East
st. Louis, Ill, across the Mississippi
River to st. Louis, Mo.
Prior to the occurrences upon
which the prosecution was based the
Chicago and Alton Company had fled
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, showing the rates for the
transportation of oil In car lots from
Whiting to East st. Louis to be Is
cents per hundred pounds, and the
rate for like transportation from
Chappell to st. Louis to be 10 1-2

which also showed the rate on oil
to be Is cents. The court held that
its effect was to exhibit to the gen.
eral shipping public a rate OF Is
cents on oil from Whiting to East
st. Louis.
The court then recites that on
July Z, 1903, one day after this
tariff became effective, the Eastern
Illinois Company, apparently recog-
nizing that the effect of this tariff
was to nullify the six and quarter
cent rate shown by its schedule No.
S,075, effective in October, 1895, is
sued what it denominated ''amend-
ment No. 1 to tariff No. 1886, THAT
being the Eastern illinois class tariff
of September, 1895, which had fixed
a rate Of 18 cents per hundred
pounds on oil from Chicago to East
ST. Louis, and which was embraced
within the general class tariff re-
ferred tc.
This amendment purported to can
eel the six and one-half cent Whiting
and East St. Louis oil rate shown on
the tariff fled with the commission
in October, 1895, and named COM
modify rate on oil of Ia cents per
hundred pounds from Chicago and
Dalton Junction, H., to E. st. Louis.
However, the amendment No. was
not fled with the Interstate Com
merce Commission until March, 1906,
one year after the expiration Of the
period covered by the Indictment and
nearly three years after lis. issue. LII
view of these facts, the court held
that the Eastern Illinois situation
could not serve the purpose Of excus-
ing OF palliating the accepting by the
defendant Of the unlawful Alton six
cent rate.
The court then reviews its action
in determining what corporation held
the stock Of the defendant Standard
Oil Company OF Indiana. This de-
monstrated that a very large pro-
portion OF the stock was held by i'll
dividuals for the stockholders Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, which has outstanding stock Of
approximately $10O,000,000.
The court discusses at length the
various defenses offered by counsel,
and says the nominal defendant is
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana, million dollar corporation.
The Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, whose capital is one hundred
million dollars, is the real defendant.
This under the laws OF one state fol

throughout the United States and for
the accomplishment Of that purpose
absorbs the stock of other corpora
tions, such corporations so absorbed
have thenceforward but a nominal ex.
istence. They cannot initiate or ex-
ecute any Independent business
policy.

The trade territory OF a town is
no: all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the en-
terprise Of the merchants and the
residents Of the town. II a town
does not reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and it
will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants 90 after business in
the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way, and making
good every word of their advertising,
trade will come from an everincreas-
ing radius, the town will gain a
reputation for being awake and 1t
will forge to the front. 1t is the
men in the town and not altogether
the men living within a certain num-
beI of miles from it that makes the
town.
