DUE TO JEALOUSY.
John ID. ROclzefelIer's Daughter Ex-
plains Attitude of Uncle Frank.

Chicago, Aug. 12-Mrs. Harold Fowler
Mccormick, the daughter of John D.
Rockefeller, yesterday defended her
father against the oil kings youngest
brother, Frank Rockefeller.
Jealousy" she said, brought about
by my uncle's signal lack of business
ability. is the cause of the vituperation
he has heaped upon my father.
My father holds no malice against
him 1t may not be consistent with the
usual picture drawn of my father, but
he holds malice against no man.
My uncle's failure to profit by the
fortune of my father and his repeated
failures in business have been worm
wood and gall to him. The bitterness
has grown from year to year. 1t has Ia
ken for its objective point the brother
who has prospered.''
Mrs. Mccormick says 1t is true that
her grandfather is alive.
Between my father and my grand
father there always existed the respect
and love that should prevail between
father and son. My grandfather watch
ed with the keenest interest the success
es of his SON.
Mrs. Mccormick said that her grand
fathers health was responsible in a
large degree for his being out of range
of the public eye.

DECLARE QUANTRELL DEAD.
Two Ohio Nieces Cite the Exhuming
Of His Body by the Mother.

Canal Dover, Ohio, Aug. 1.-THE
report that William Clark Quantrell,
the famous guerrilla, is alive and we'll
on Vancouver island is probably a
mistake.
In 1888 w. w. Scott, editor of the
Iron Valley Reporter, went with the
mother of Quantrell to Louisville, KY,
and exhumed the body, which was
positively identified by Mrs. Quantren
as that of her son. The investigation
was made because of a similar rumor
which gained circulation about that
time.
The body was again buried. after
two shin bones and a lock of hair We're
removed. These were presented IN
1888 to the Kansas historical society,
and are still to be found in its collec-
ton in Topeka.
Two nfeces of Quantrell live here,
and they are positive that Mrs.
Quantren made no mistake when she
said it was the remains of her son
which lay in the Catholic cemetery at
Louisville.
QuantreIl was born here in 1897,
and at the age of 6 became a teacher
in the Canal Dover public schools.
The building in which he taught is
now the city public library. He left
here in 1851, going to Kansas. where

HITS STANDARD AGAIN.
Commissioner Smith Issues a Report
on the Petroleum Industry.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Another re-
port on the Standard Oil companys
monopoly of the petroleum industry
was made public today by the COM
missioner of corporations, Herbert
Knox Smith. Mr.. Smiths report, made
public last week. had to do with crude
oil and in the report given out today
he vigorously attacks the discrimina
ton policy of the trust in the sale of
refined Oil
Standard sells its products in Europe
much cheaper than in the United
States and that prices are juggled in
this country with a view primarily to
shutting out competition. This accom-
plished, he says the squeezing" of the
public begins.
Following are extracts from the re-
port:
by your (the president) direction,
in view Of the proceedings of the at
torney general against the Standard
Oil ompany, some of the more detail
ed evidence secured by the bureau re-
garding price discrimination is at pres
ent withheld from publication and the
same is true of evidence regarding
other unfair practices. the most i'm
portant of which are the maintenance
of bogus Independent companies,
espionage over the business of COM
petitors. especially by bribing railway
employees to disclose their shipments
sold
'These determinations In prices
were largely made possible by the
widespread system of discrimination in
railroad rates. mainly secret, which
was long enjoyed by the Standard Oil
company"
Having a monopoly al home, it has
charged such prices as it could there
b. eXtOrt, and the American consumer
has had to pay these prices. Meeting
competition abroad it has given the
foreign consumer enormously lower
prices. and it has used the profits made
at home to maintain it's position
abroad"
1.-The conditions of supply therefore
do not excuse the extra ordinary de-
cline in foreign prices in 1905 and the
resulting discrimination against the
American consumer. This decline was
not necessitated by any oversupply Of
oil. In fact. the movement of prices
was precisely the opposite of that
which would have been expected from
the changes in supply"
In the business of selling petroleum
products in foreign countries the price
policy of the Standard Oil company
has apparently been to sacrifice the in
terests of the American consumer for
the purpose of securing the Standards
foreign business. which is a very i'm
portant one"

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-12-06

The same dispatch says that Senator
Gamble declared that the sentiment
in the state is overwhelming for an
other nomination for the president.
Nobody talks of anything else. You
couldn't get discussion started on
the merits of other candidates simply
because nobody is willing 20 assume
that there is any chance that it will be
other than Roosevelt. The delegation
will be named for him." That Sena-
tor Gamble is right in saying that the
sentiment in the state is overwhelm-
ingly for Roosevelt's denomination is
so manifest that it is surprising that
Senator Kittredge should have the
hardihoo1 to claim otherwise. If Sena-
tor Kittredge and his so called stall
wart element have set out to convince
the Republicans of South Dakota that
they are opposed to Roosevelt and are
for Taft we opine that they will find
that they have undertaken a herculean
job. Dell Rapids Tribune.

home to be deposited in the postal
savings banks of their native countries
because they have confidence in Gov
ernment security and we offer them
no such repositories here. Thus,
while we are frantically bidding ex-
travagant premiums for remittances
from Europe, we are needlessly send
ing abroad more than we are bringing
in.
Mr.. Meyer proposes to meet this
situation by allowing the post-offices
to accept deposits which the Govern
ment would turn over to the national
banks. The depositors would have an
absolute Government guaranty of Sc
curity and would draw interest at two
per cent instead of having to pay fees
for money-ordors or hide their money
in old stockings to be gathered in by
the first thief that came along. The
Government, as the POstmaster-Gen-
eral has learned from the assurances
of a number of bank presidents, would
receive interest on the deposits turned
over to the banks at the rate of from
two to two and half per cent. The
bankers would have an enormous in
crease in available resources, and inn
mense stores of financial power now
going to waste would be saved and
made useful to the community. Every
body would be helped and nobody
harmed 1t is hardly surprising that
such proposition is meeting more
hospitable reception in financial circles
than was accorded to the postal-sav-
ings bank idea when it was regarded
as a scheme for direct competition be-
tween the Government and the banks

THE POSTAL BANKS OPPORTUNITY.

Although postal savings-banks and
parcels-posts have been in high favor
at the Post-Otfice Depar ment for
many years, all attempts to establish
them by frontol attacks on vested in
terests have failed. Postmaster
General Meyer has now undertaken a
clever diplomatic flank movement
which has encouraging prospects OF
success He is enlisting the aid OF
SO ne of the very interests that have
blocked progress hitherto The finan
cial stringency has furnished hi op-
portunity. Money has gone into hid.
ing because its holders have been
afraid to trust private bankers. This
distrust, in most cases, has been en-
tirely uniustifed, but it is fact that
must be taken into account It's re-.
suits have been startling. People
have forced the Post Office Depart
ment to take care of their savings In
spite of itself. They have bought
money-orders payable to themselves,
not only receiving no interest but pay
ing fees for the privilege of depositing,
and the money SO deposited lies locked
up, a useless hoard, in the Treasury.
I'm the five States of Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington
alone. such orders to amount OF 500
600 became invalid during the last
fiscal year.
Nor is that the worst. In the fiscal
wear 1907 the Post Office Department
sent abroad no less than 81 100000
for immigrants fifty per cent more
than the amount of those recent inn
portations of gold which shook every
money center of Europe and forced
the Bank of England to raise it's dis.
count rate to the highest point in a
generation. Much of this drain was
the natural flow of remittances to re-
latives at home. but much of it repr
sented distrust of American invest
ments. Mr.. Meyer has learned that
many immigrants, Italians and other
are actually sending their earnings
