BISHOP POTTER

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 19:-Bish-
op Potter, of New York, will prob
ably find himself the center of as
great storm as has ever been arous-
ed in the south as a result of his
action last night in entertaining at
dinner Bishop Ferguson, of Africa,
the only negro entitled to the House
of Bishops in the general Episcopal
convention now in session here. The
southern delegates are already pro-
testing against the bishops enter
tainment of the negro which is look
ed upon as direct slur upon the
south. One result of his action may
be to raise the race issue at the pres

NEW YORK, Oct 19--By the testi.
mony of Anthony +. Brady the GOV.
ernment in its suit to dissolve the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
for the first time clearly established
the connection of the sale of the Man.
haitian Oil company to the Standard
This was done when Mr. Brady. who
with William G. Rockefeller was the
twin star attraction of the days ses-
sion. was questioned about newly dis
covered facts in connection with the
sale.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who is the son of
William Rockefeller and a nephew of
John d. Rockefeller. was on the stand
for an hour and half and was kept
busy in his efforts to dodge the rapid
fire questions of Chief lnQuisitoi
Frank b. Kellogg.
Mr.. Brady, succeeding Mr.. Rockefel
Ter as witness. admitted that when
the Manhattan Oil company was sold
the Peoples Gas, Light and Coke com
pany of Chicago received contract
from the Standard Oil company where
by the latter was to furnish the Chi
cago concern with gas oil at cost of
Ia cents a gallon for period of ten
years. This price is much less than
the cost of production.
1t was learned during the afternoon
that one of the attorneys for the
Standard Oil company had approached
a representative of the government
and offered damaging admissions if
the government would let up.
1t is reported that the Standard OIL
lawyer asked the government repre-
sentative:
'If we will admit that the Standard
owns the Manhattan will you promise
to drop this investigation?
mo"
.sWell, if we will admit that we own
not only the Manhattan. but several
other subsidiary companies will you
stop your probing:'
NO was again the reply.
Then the Standard lawyer is report
ed to have remarked: We'll, if you
will make no promises it is useless
for me to make any admissions. l
suppose you will go ahead until you
have the officers of the Standard tied
up"
Mr.. Rockefeller was in the witness
chair for an hour and half. But his
testimony was more remarkable for
4 lack of knowledge of Standard OIL
affairs than for anything else in spite
of the fact that he is prominently con-
nected with the trust and several Of
it's subsidiary companies,
The most interesting piece of infor-
nation given by the witness was that
the New York Standard Oil company
annually loans millions to brokers in
Wall street. though sometimes it is
itself borrower. Another interest
ing morsel was to the effect that the
Standard Oils foreign exchange busi-
ness averages in the year $45,000,O00.
Mr.. Kellogg. however, was unable to
,btain from Mr.. Rockefeller any in
as to certain payments Of
Millions which We're carried on the
BOOKS as loans and for expense ac-
count, though he promised to have the
natter looked into.

now that he has answered the pur-
pose of forcing Foraker to re-
nounce the senatorship. Whether
this story is true or not, it is gem
orally believed that the candidacy
of Cortelyou will compel neutrality
on the part of the president. Cor
telyou knows too much about the
White House conferences with
Hartman and other undesirable
citizens to permit any coersive
measure against him by the ad-
ministration, Therefore it is
quite probable that the Taft peo-
pie will have to hoe their own row.
The national committee having is
sued it's call the fight for delegates
will now proceed, and no where
will the contests be more exciting

Memorial.
ed

Herbert Albertus lies, son of
William and Katherine lies, was
born in Iesboro, Hooking county,
Ohio, September %, 1869, died
December -, 1907, aged 38 years,
3 months and 90 days.
His early life was spent on his
fathers farm near the town of his
birth, where he attended school
until he reached his majority.
On December 81, 1890, he was
married to Cora Hansel, daughter
of John and Emile Hansel. To
this union were born two boys,
Bruce and Rudolph, who IN the
home with the wife survive the
husband and father.
The early married life of Mr..
and Mrs. lies was spent in Union
Furnace, where Mr.. lies was en-
ployed at the Columbus Terra
Gotta Co. works. About seven
years ago they moved to Logan
where Mr.. lies has enga ged in
business ever since.
About two weeks ago he took to
his bed with the dread typhoid
fever, and the ravages of disease
baliled all medical aid, and the
grim monster "death" came off
conqueror.
He was a member of the orders
of Elks and Red Men and Poca-
hontas of Logan.
The funeral services were held
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
forenoon, Rev. Nesbit, of Pataska-
la, officiating.
Logan lodge of Elks and Red
Men attended in body, and re-
cited their ritualistic service.
The remains were laid to rest in
Oak Grove Cemetery. The floral
triputes were most gorgeous.

body violates the law at one time

What federal officer, postmaster
or what not, has not violated the
law in some way? They do it
every day, but no one is injured
seriously and the matter is never
brought up for prosecution, ex-
cept in the Eleventh congressional
district, where the decree has gone
forth that postmasters must 60.
Those whe are not wise enough to
resign, are bounded by the law in
the hands of designing persons,
and an Indictment is landed against
them, which is sufficient cause for
their removal. That is politics in
the Eleventh district today. For
illustration, we refer to the in
dictments against Postmaster Nc
Kay, of Logan, for using postage
stamps for currency as far back as
four years. The scheme is to get
Douglas postmasters all over the
district. 1t is effective in getting
rid of the postmaster, but will it
help Douglas in his congressional

for such action, human nature
has changed, and the rule or ruin

The Primary Law.

The method of selecting dele
gates to the Republican state con-
vention and the date and scope of
the convention are causing untold
worry to the Taft managers, The
primary plan has been approved
by both factions, but the problem
of providing. for it is far from
solved. There is no law authoriz-
ing the state committee to enforce
primary call and if the primary
is held it must be through the
supplementary action of each of
the lightweight county commit
tees. The Taft people want two
conventions, an early one for the
purpose OF selecting the four dele
gates at-large to the national con-
vention, and another in the sum-
mer to nominate the ticket. The
fact that the expense of the pro-
posed primary will be saddled up
on the taxpayers is a phase of the
factional quarrel that has been
quite generally overlooked by the
dear people, and by the time it
soaks in one wonders if they will
not regard the price an awful one
to pay for the settlement of a
family quarrel. The full election
machinery of each seperate county
will have to be invoked and the
expense to the taxpayers will be
something terrific, almost equaling
that of regular election. Oppo-
sitiOn of the most serious nature,
and especially to the two-conven-
tlon plans of the Taft managers,
is almost certain. The primary
project will cost something like
one hundred thousand dollars, all
to be paid out of the county treas
uries, and for no other purpose
than to decide which of two men,
Taft or Foraker, is the most popu-
lar, or as some would prefer put
ting it, the most unpopular. 1t is
difficult to see how the scheme can
be worked out, since it is almost a
certainty that many of the county
committees will refuse to assume
responsibility for imposing the
heavy burden upon the people,
They might stand for single con-
vention, but there is no doubt that
they will balk at double header.
1t is here the Democrats have a
right to kick. They enjoy the
Republican quarrel, but object to
being taxed for the fun. They be-
lieye that persons engaged in a
row should be made to pay The
freight, not the onlookers. Why
not let the three men who are fl
nancing the Taft cempaign-Chas

Taft ON the Toboggan.

Republican politicians of every
description, prominent, ordinary
and commonplace, are drifting in
to Columbus from all parts of the
state these days of political dis
quietude in quest of light and in
spiration to guide them through
the troublous waters into haven
of rest. Poor consolation awaits
them. When they bump into
friend of the senator's they are
told that Taft is on the toboggan,
and when they meet one of the
Taft managers they are promptly
informed that Foraker is on his
last pegs and his "elimination"
certain. This bewildering maze
of contradiction continues through
out their stay at the capital city
and the unhappy visitors are final
ly forced to flee to escape lodg-
ment in the states crazy house.
, For the benefit of these poor un-
fOrtunates it is here stated that
real conditions cannot be learned
at the headquarters of either fac.
tion; that while the truth is half
told the remaining half is sup
pressed. In the opinion of intelli-
gent observers, not allied directly
or indirectly with either of the
warning crowds, Taft is on the to-
boggan and Foraker on his last
pegs, neither standing ghost OF
a show for the presidential nomi-
nation. This is the candid opin
ion of disinterested experts, and
there is no doubt that the senti-
ment is rapidly spreading to the
rank and file in all parts of the
state. The same observers will
add that Ohio's failure to secure
the nomination will leave the sena-
tors and their following in the
best position for the future, since
Dick at least will be in the same
senate and in the event of the
election of the Republican candi-
date for president in position to
control absolutely the distribution
of federal patronage.
The Republican situation is at
last relieved of the embarrassment
of the Roosevelt third term talk,
that distinguished parsonage hav-
ing become "skeered" by the pan
ic and lifted himself out of the
running. The Taft people claim
to be cheered by the presidents
declaration and insist it will help
their cause amazingly, holding to
the belief that the abdication of
the throne does not carry with it
rennnciation of the role of dictator
and that the "big stick" from
now on will be vigorously applied
ON behalf of the heir apparent.
News from Washington does not
confirm this view, since it neglects
to take Cortelyou into considera-
ti0n. The secretary of the treas
ury 10 regarded in Washington as
an active candidate himself for the
nomination, but whether he Is or
not IL is absolutely certain that he
is opposed to Taft. The states
men at Washington also are of the
opinion that the strength dis
played by Cortelyou at the meet
ing of the national committee,
coming chiefly from the south,
could not have been built up with
out the knowledge and secret sup
port of the president and must be
accepted as evidence that the
president il through with Taft
