TEDDY'S ANSWER.

Washington, ID. @. Nov. 13---In an
swer to numerous protests which have
been received at the White House
against the new gold coin which has
been coined without the words, in
God We Trust" President Roosevelt
has written a letter in which he says
in part:
my own feeling in the matter is
due to my very firm conviction that
to put such motto on the coins, or
use it In any kindred manner, not only
does no good, but does positive harm
and is in effect irreverence, which
comes dangerously close to sacrilege.
The beautiful and solemn sentence
such as the one In question should be
treated and uttered only with that
fine reverence which implies certain
exaltation OF spirit. In all my life |
have never heard any human being
speak reverently of this motto on the.
coins, but have literally hundreds Of
times heard it used as an occasion of
an incitement to the sneering ridicule,
which above all things is undesirable
that 50 beautiful and exalted a phrase
should excite"

The Cherokee Contract.
Yinita, l. T., Nov. Ia. 100,

Vinita, l. T., Nov. Ia, 1907.
To the Chieftain:
In this weeks issue of the Vinita
Leader is published an account Of the
meeting Saturday night, called by Col.
Il. B. Bell, for the purpose of consider
ing the contract enteresi into by and
between the Eastern Cherokee council
and the law firm of Riddle & Clap
ham. This article again misrepresents
the terms OF the contract We desire
to say that we offered copy of the
contract to Colonel Bell, so that he
might have the same read at that
meeting, but he declined to accept our
offer, and we understand that several
persons present pretended to know
what the contract was, but misrepre-
sented its terms. We should have
been glad to have given Colonel Bell,
or any one else interested, copy Of
the contract, SO that il could have
been read at that meeting.
It seems to ethe deliberate purpose
Of Mr.. Davenport, Colonel Bell and the
editor OF the Leader and others to mis-
resent and mIs-state this contract.
The statement contained In the Lead
er, as to the terms Of the contract, are
as grossly misleading and untrue as
we're the statements made at the meet
ing.
Anyone who cares the examine the
files of the court of claims will dis
cover that this contract never has
been in force, and never will be in
force. The evident intention Of the
parties who are assailing this contract
is not so much to protect the Eastern
Cherokee citizens as it is to assail the
firm who have entered into the con-
tract with the Eastern Cherokee Conn-
Gil Very respectfully,
RIDDLE & CLAPHAk.

HOW THE RAILROADS HELPED. IT ALONG

/ HISTORY OF THE COMPANY.
The foundations OF the standard oi
Company's present power were laid II
the year 1867, when the firms of Rock
efeller q Andrews. William Rockefell
er & Co., Rockefeller & Co., s. V
Harkness, and Henry NJ. Flagler were
united under n partnership ..nown al
Rockefeller, Andrews q Flagler Three
years later this partnership was sue
ceeded by the Standard Oll Company
of Ohio with a capitalization OF $780,
100000. This concern at once began
to seek control of the entire industry
How successfully this ambitious policy
was carried out may be Judged from
the fact that whereas the Standard
Oil Company OF Ohio In 1870 controll-
ed not more than 10 per cent OF the
refining business of the country with
In ten years the capitalists forming
that concern with others who had
in the meantime become associated
with them, openly admitted control OF
about 80 per cent of this branch OF the
oil industry. Their control OF the pipe
line business had increased with al
most equal rapidly.
The Standards interests. by 1879,
controlled practically every important
pipe line in the oil fields. there being
then no pipe line TO tidewater. In
that year line TO a point near the
coast was laid by an independent con-
cern-The Tide Water Pipe com
pany Limited) - but within
a few years control OF
this enterprise had substantially
passed to Standard interests, who, in
the meantime, had constructed a line
OF their own. As noted elsewhere,
the Standards ability TO thus force
the ide Water concern TO terms was.
in large measure. due to the coopera-
ton OF some OF the leading oil-carry-
ing railroads. It's supremacy In the
pipe line business thus being estab-
lished, the Standard resorted to yari-
ous devices TO prevent the construction
Of competing lines particularly by pre-
venting projected lines from securing
rights OF way. It's success In this
policy was so marked that for many
years It was practically without
rival in the business OF through pipe
line transportation OF oil 10 the At
lantic seaboard. and at present there
Is but one independent pipe line to
that seaboard. and II Is much smaller
than those OF the Standard.
Having acquired a grasp on the en-
