"Who Pays the Fine ?"


| | have frequently alluded in these
letters to the fine editorials which ap.
pear In the country papers of Missouri
| BY country papers, of course. are
meant those not published in the great
| cities. Recently under the above cap
| ton there was an editorial in the
Times, published at Louisiana, Pike
county, Mo-. which clearly illustrates
the utter futility of trying to break up
the trusts by imposing fines upon them.
1t is worthy of the profoundest study
of the voters of the land Here is the
Times editorial verbatim:
We have a question which is a sort of
companion question to the old one Who
pays the tariff? The question which we
want to ask and then answer is Who
pays the fine?
Recently the Standard Oil company was
fined in the federal court in Chicago on
charge of rebating If it is fined a sim
liar amount on each count in the indict-
ment. the total fine will amount to about
$50, 00O,0 600. BY the way, it insists that each
rebat1ng contract was not a separate of
Tense and seeks to avoid more than the
one fine.
But If it should lose on this contention

$50. 100000, we imagine it will issue about
$50, 0Oo. OOo-allowing 100 per cent for water
of debehture fine bonds. and John D. will
Sell them and pay the fine. pocketing the
difference. Then he will increase the
price of oil about 2 cents per gallon. the
extra cents to go into a sinking fund
to be used to retire the bonds at ma
turity.
The Standard Oil company has such q
complete monopoly of the petroleum bust
ness that without doubt the users of oil
will have to pay all fines just as thew
nave to all gifts to Chicago university.
The matter of filming a corporation like
the Standard Oil company is somewhat
like lining drunken husband for not
supporting his family. The patient. much
abused wife complains that he got drunk
Saturday night and blew in his weeks
wages and beat her. Thereupon the mag
istrate fines the brute $780, and the wife
goes home and sells enough furniture to
pay 1t.
Filming the Standard Oil company does
not hurt 1t, and we cannot hang it. What
will we do with it?

doing the job of blowing up Governor
Steunenberg. Twice his preparations
were such that his diabolic mission
could have been fulfilled, but his nerve
failed him. But gambling and hard
luck drove him back into the old trade.
Then. when the bomb had blown Steu-
nenberg into fragments. for the first
time his hardened heart reyolted at the
brutality and fendishness of his work,
and when he was arrested and forced
during his confinement to think upon
his crimes he began to comprehend the
awful nature of the record he had
made
According to Orchards confession
he has been guilty of the following
misdeeds. most of them undertaken, as
he stated. under contract and for pay
not because of animosity:
l. Attempting to blow up the mill of the
Sullivan and Bunker Hill mine at Ward

Governor Steunenberg. which proved his
crowning offense. and according to his
own story. led him to repentance.
Orchard is an uneducated man, but
it is agreed that he has mental powers
that might have made of him a very

John Iyler MORGAN.

John Tyler Morgan. for more than
thirty years senator of the United
States. has gone to his reward, leaving
a name pure and unsullied as legacy
to his countrymen. He was an ON
nfvorous reader, and his memory was
like tar bucket, for everything that
touched it stuck. Though he was
eighty-three, his mental powers re-
manned undiminished to the end. In
this connection it is an interesting fact
that Colonel Thomas Hart Benton. of
Missouri was the first thirty year SEN
ator, and II he had been willing to con-
ciliate anybody he would have died in
the senate after thirty-seven years
service. 1t is also interesting to know
that Missouri is the only state that
ever had two thirty year senator's.

conversant with his output of words as
to an isthmian canal can understand
bis remark.
He is the only man l ever heard of
who resigned a brigadier generalship
to accept a colonelcy. He performed
that remarkable caper because the
field officers of his old regiment were
all killed or disabled simultaneously,
and his love for the men composing it
caused his act of self abnegation. He
was afterward appointed brigadier "a
second time and accepted on condition
that his old regiment should constitute
part of his brigade.

Such question has framed

OF crimes absolutely unmatched. at

his power by complete confession of

remains as to the sincerity of the man

According to Orchards testimony un-

ised no immunity on account of his
confession and had it in mind to make
full statement of his crimes even
before he met Detective MCFARLAND.
He has even said that he does not
want any immunity and was moved to
confess his misdeeds because of his
desire for their forgiveness by power
greater than any on the earth. For
some time he had been growing dis
