ROADS BUY OF TRUST
Refusing Lower Bids, Railroads
Patronize Standard Oil.
COMBINES RIVAL TESTIFIES.

Tells How Louisville and Nashville
Line Dropped Independent Concern
and Paid Monopoly $4,000 Over His
Bid-UseIess to Compete.
New York, Oct S.-Oil trust counsel
spent hours in trying to offset the
bombshell the government threw into
their camp last week by producing the
secret agreement between the Stand
ard Oil company and the combined
shipping lines to South Africa giving
them rate on oil to Delagoa bay low
er than the cost of handling and carry
ing it.
This secret rate, a cut of more than
so per cent below that which the New
York Lubricating Oil company is
forced to pay, is destined to extend
the oil trusts monopoly even to the
South African field. Philip Harrison,
manager of the independent concern,
was subjected to a grueling cross ex-
animation by Moritz Rosenthal for the
Standard.
Mr.. Harrison told the Standard Oil
Smith, head of the bureau of corpora
tions, believing that if there was no
law to govern such unjust discrimina
tion on the part of ocean carriers, such
a law might be passed.
Why Railroads Buy of Trust.
"Didn't you know" demanded Mr..
Rosenthal, pointing bony finger at
the witness, that these ocean lines
were common carriers and that the
| bureau of corporations has no jurisdlc-
ton over carriers who come under the
provisions of the interstate commerce
act?
81 knew" replied Mr.. Harrison,
s'that the interstate commerce commits
sion could not regulate foreign COM
meree, but did not know whether
the bureau of corporations could ex-
anime into the natter or not"

| Special Counsel Kellogg, ''that there
is such a law"
Orders to purchasing agents and the
mechanical departments of railroads to
buy their lubricating oil from the
Standards Galena Signal OIL company
come from the executive offices of the
roads, according to Mr.. Harrison Spe.
cial Counsel Kellogg brought out the
fact that the competitors bids, though
lower, were rejected time after time
and the contrccts awarded to the mo
nopoly at higher prices than they had
actually been paying to the independ'
ent concern.
"Did you bid for the Atlantic Coast
line and the c., B. and or" asked Mr.
Kellogg.
! I'VE were made to understand that
we could not hope to compete with the
Standard and that it would be useless
for us to try, said Mr.. Harrison.

TIIIman did not solve the social
ed race problem Nor does any one
think much Of his remedy, that Is
to repeal the fifteenth amendment to
the national constitution and then
cut the threats OF the colored people
generally. If they do not do the bid
ding Of the South subsequently and
abjectly. Down in South Carolina
he says the question has not been
settled. yet the negro does not vote
down there. the fifteenth amendment
being repealed to all intents and
purposes in that State, and consid-
cradle degree Of neck stretching and
butchering having been INDUCED in.
South Carolina itself demonstrates
the falsity OF the. Tillman remedy
and thus does his own State knock
out his doctrine without the neces-
sity of any arguments being made
his.

While telephone companies are
engaged in making improvements.
they would well add to their SER
vice by the erection of more lines
down the West Fork valley, where
business has grown to such proper
tions as to make the present lines
inadequate and as the result annoy
ance, waste of time and much incon-
venience are experienced. For the
proper dispatch of business it is sin
cerely hoped that additional lines
will soon traverse the valley and
along the Short Line railroad as far
out as Wallace. This is not in criti-
cism or censure of the operation of
the lines, but is merely a suggestion
that ought to be carried out.

A Proper Move.

1t is a bit unusual to see the
Parkersburg Sentinel approving any
action or policy of the Republican
national administration. but it takes
the occasion to do so in comment
ing on the decision of President
Roosevelt and his assistants to send
a large feet of American warshfps
into Pacific waters. The SentinePs
patriotism very properly oversteps
its numerous and somewhat cratic
political prejudices in this instance
and our Democratic contemporary
can see only salutary results in the
project to let Japan have look at
a considerable portion of our fine
navy. Says the Sentinel:
I'm the absence of stirring news, a
war scare is being made out of the
shifting of some battleshfps from one
place to another. 1t has always been
the rule to keep the battleships NOV
ing. whether there is anything doing
in the fighting line or not Some
times they are in the South Atlantic,
again in the Mediterranean, some
times in the Pacific, occasionally they
are found in the North Sea- 1t has
never been assumed that war
squadron sailing through the seas
from one location to another was a
casus belli.
THE Japanese question is merely
one of irritation, and it is improb-
able that trouble will arise through
the United States sending some of its
battIeships from one coast to anoth-
err. But whether so or not the fact
that the United States has both At
lantic and Pacific coasts to guard
justifes the sending of war vessels
from one point to another within
her own territory without explana-
ton or apology to anybody.
"tThis fact ought to be made doub-
~ plain, and also sufficiently emphat-
ic to impress upon all that this
country is for peace. But at the
same time that if it is avoiding trou-
BILE it isn't running away from 1t in
a timid fashion because of fear.
Peace is better for the world, but
there are times when peace Is i'm
possible without dishonor. and this
country will not have any of that
kind of peace,
"As this country owns both the
Philippines and Hawaii. it is quite
proper that our battle ships those
remote sections of the earth, when
ever in the judgment of the admin
istration it is wise to have them do
so. And it is nobody else's bust
ness. 1t should be SO considered,
and that fsthe theory our govern
ment should act upon"

The Fairmont Times sporting writ
err has not as yet apologized to his
readers and to the Telegram for try
ing to create the impression that the

The Telegram used the word "in-
gIoriously," and not the obsolete
word the sporting writer of the Fair

The farmers in the upper and
western end of the county are hav-
ing their troubles in reference to
their farms being torn up by pipe
line companies, and, especially by a
company that proposes to lay a big
line from Lost Creek to Sedalia, a
distance Of about twenty-five miles.
In instances the company is said to
have acted arbitrarily in the matter.
The courts should see that there is
no imposition on the farmers and
that they be free from any hardship
or inconvenience in this respect. The
company may have the legal right to
lay the line, but there should be a
just compensation and easements
should not be allowed, where dis
comfort. damage that money can not
we'll pay for and annoyance and
danger would result The farmers
and other citizens have rights that
should be respected and the courts
should impress that fact on all who
seek to take their lands.
