Charges Hurled by Commissioner
Smith at Standard Oil.

The Standard has repeatedly claim
ed that it has reduced the price oil
oil; that it has been benefit to the
consumer, and that only great coEl
bination like the Standard could have
furnished oil at the prices that have
prevailed. Each one of these claims
is disproved by this report
The Standard has consistently used
its power to raise the price of oil dur
ing the last ten years. not only abso-
lutely, but also relatively. to the cost
af crude OIL
The Standard Oil Company is re-
sponsible for the course of the prices
of petroleum and its products during
the last twenty-five years.
The costs of the independent con-
Germs in the oil industry, plus nom
inal rate of profit, are less than the
costs of the Standard, plus its extor-
tionate profit.
What. it may be asked is to pre-
vent independent concerns from eth
er taking away part of the Standards
trade or forcing it to reduce prices
The answer is found in the unfair
practices of the Standard
The Standard maintains bogus in
dependent companies TO escape anti
trust sentiment.
1t maintains an elaborate system of
espionage on the business of inde-
pendent concerns.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-08-08

A battle royal was waged in Fri
days meeting of the British associ-
alton al Leicester between the chem
lists and the electricians over the
round asom, and at the close of a
three hour contest Sir William Ram
say, as representative of the chemists,
announced the results of his recent
experiments with radium emanations.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
sensation made upon the meeting by
Ramsay's paper or the possible ef-
fects of his experiments on the future
of chemical science.
One party has come to believe that
there is no such thing as matter.
They claim the so-called matter is
the shape assumed by electricity and
an atom is not permanent thing but
sphere enmeshing the little units
of electricity now called electrons.
Lord Kelvin, who closed the de-
bate, spoke with a wonderful fire of
imagination of the infinite possibil-
tiles to which radium had opened our
eyes, but declined absolutely to be-
lieve that matter is the form of mo-
ton and that the atom is merely
whoils of electrons.

Jacob ]. Kern, former Illinois
states attorney, brought three suits
for 100000 each Monday agains: w.
R. Hearst's two Chicago newspapers,
charging libel in statements published
concerning him and his relations TO
the failure of Stensland's Milwaukee
Avenue State bank last summer.
One suit for 100000 is brought
against the Illinois Publishing COM
pany, which issues the Chicago Ex-
aminer, and two FOR like amounts
against the Evening American Pub
fishing Company. which issues the
Chicago American.
Mr.. Kern waited until he had only
five days remaining in which TO start
action for damages. and. when both
concerns had come to the conclusion
that the alleged libel was forgotten.

Charles Rodebaugh Falls From Train

Charles Rodebaugh, Pennsylvania
brakeman, fell from an east bound
freight train near the depot in Colum-
bia City at 7:45 Friday morning and
sustained injuries that may prove fat
al.
Rodebaugh was head brakeman on
the train and was standing on the
steps OF the engine preparing to
drop off when the speed had slack
|oned and cut the train in two The
freight was yet moving at rapid
speed, when, in some manner, Rode
baugh lost his footing and fell to the
ground, striking ON his left elbow
and hip. He was able to get up on
his feet unassisted but after walking
short distance, sank to the ground
and had to be carried by members
of the crew He was taken to the
home of Mrs Anna Thiele at log
Swihart street .Colur1bia City and a
physician summoned
The physician found the man suf-
fering considerably from the shock
and was unable to make a complete
examination. AT the first examina-
ton. No broken bones or definite in
ternal injuries could be located but
the man had been badly bruised if
nothing more. He was in no condi-
ton TO be removed to the hospital
and was lit Friday at Mrs. Thiels
Rodebaugh is unmarried and makes
his home in Fort Wayne but his fam
ily lives at Garrett. Ind. lie is a
new man having been ON the road
for only month.
AT noon Friday a special train
came out from Fort Wayne and took
the injured man TO the hospital
Members of the train crew say that
Rodebaugh persisted in striking the
ground with both feet at once when
jumping off a train. He had been re-
peatedly warned of the danger of do,
ing so but seemed to be unable to
learn He is twenty-one years of age.

Uncle Sam May Run Jamestown's
Show

1t begins to look as if the James,
town Exposition Company will funk
IN Its payments to the Government.
Congress voted s1,0oo.ooo to the
jamestown Exposition Company and
it was to be paid back in installments.
The first payment was fixed at $780,
600, due August l. Up to this time
not cent had shown up at the
| Treasury and no arrangements had
been made by the exposition COM
pany as to when it would be paid.
This IS the same loose style of doing
business as has characterized the en-
tire business proceedings of this ex-
position from the very beginning.
1t begins to look as if Uncle Sam
would be compelled to step in and
take charge of the big show il the
money is to be recovered and put
back into the Treasury Representa-
tive James E. Watson, of Indiana,
who said he was opposed to the loan
ing of the money, was about right
when he uttered his significant re-
mark on the opening day of the
show: If the gate receipts of this
thing amount to so cents, am in ia
vor of the Government taking the so
cents"
Until recently there has been no
real head to the exposition. A few
fellows have done the dress suit
stunt" to perfection while drawing
salaries from $4,000 down, but they
have not made the exposition a sue
cess. The attendance is poor simply
because people who have visited the
exposition have gone home and told
the truth, and other people took their
advice and remained at home The
gate receipts have been swallowed
up paying salaries to the dress suit
brigade, and Uncle Sam is holding
the sack
President Roosevelt has visited the
jamestown exposition on two differ
ent occasions, and ne drew the only
crowds of the season. About the only
way for Uncle Sam to break even is
to take the exposition and run it is
business like manner, and if the Pres
ident could be induced to move his
summer home from Oyster Bay to
the jamestown exposition grounds
tn, people would flock in to see the
show. 1t has been suggested that the
President be engaged to play tennis
on Lees parade grounds every day
the remainder of the season and
charge admission and an extra fee for
reserved seats. This is about the only
way the United States Treasury viii
ever be reimbursed for that million
dollar loan. In other words, the Gov
ernment has been bunkoed and is just
beginning to find il out.

Please Name This Freak.

A skeleton foro which local natur-
alsts are unable to attach name was
discovered at Seneca ails, N. Y. The
frame is five feet long from nose to
tail, with two legs fifteen inches long.
The head is identical with that of a
horse with deeply sunken eyesockets
and massive jaws On each side of
the upper and lower jaws sharp tusks
protude with row of fine teeth be-
tween. The neck is short and of
graceful curve.
The spine is similar to a snakes
except that it is lined with thirteen
ribs on each side and has ten-inch
tail joined directly on the spine No
socket for wings is apparent. The
legs have hip, knee and ankle joint,
and the extremely long toes are said
to- indicate web feet.
The ground where the object was
found has never before been disturb
ed to the knowledge of local histor-
ians.

More Trouble for OH rmst.

Proceedings against the Standard
Oil Company in various state courts
are promised as the result of evidence
collected by the federal government.
1t developed that the bureau of cor
porations has, during its investigation
of the trust, discovered much damag-
ing evidence to add to its troubles,
and the trust will find, before the
government has finished with it, that
it has been in a real fight and that
it cannot violate the laws with inn
punity
In nearly every state there is law
against cheats Commissioner Smith
of the bureau of corporations is pre-
pared to furnish the law officer of nr-
merous states documentary evidence
TO prove in the state courts that the
Standard Oil Compony has not de-
pended entirely upon monopoly for
its profits, but that it has resoited to
methods despised by all honest deal
ers.
1t can be demonstrated by the evil
dence that the great trust has been
cheating by short measure and shcrt
weight. Commission Smith declined
to discuss this new phase of the Stan
dard's troubles for the reason tina. he
expected to be called upon officially
to aid in the state prosecutions
1t can be stated, however, that the
law officers of the government who
have examined the evidence conside-
it exceptionally strong 1t has been
found that the practice of giving
short weight and short measure in its
wholesale and retail business has
been so general on the part of the
Standard Oil company as to indicate
general policy directed by the re-
sponsible officers of the company
The government has vast amount
of information concerning the Stand
ards methods and business which has
not been made public 1t is the in
tention of the bureau of corporations
which collected the data, to give it
out in installments, which will not
add to the peace of mind of the trust

Advertising Matter on Stamped En-.
velopes.

The officials of the Postoffice De-
partment have decided 70 take an
other step in the manner of printing
ON Government envelopes that will
come NOR, and more into competi-
ton with the printers of the coun-
try
In the past the law of the depart
ment has prohibited the Government
printing any kind of advertising mat
ter on return envelopes, and ALL the
business men have been getting print
ed on Government envelopes was
simply the name and address. All
titles or words tending to advertise
mans profession or business could
not go on, therefore this kind of
printing has been going to the print
ers of the country.
Now the officials of the Postoffice
Department have decided that they
will permit all titles that have been
conferred on professional men to be
printed on Government envelopes.
for further identification purposes.
For instance, a doctor can have his
title of M. d. follow his name, and
other professional men may do like
wise.
Another hard blow will be the rul-
ing to permit business firms to tack
on the title under which they have
been accustomed to do business. For
instance, if John Jones has been man
aging drug store, and his firm is
corporation, he will be entitled to
have his envelopes printed the John
Jones Drug Company etc. Hereto
fore this has not been permissible.
Another ruling is that if purchas-
ers do not wish their names to go on
at all, they can have their envelopes
printed with just the street number
and city or town, or with just the box
number if so desired

The Klinger Family Reunion.

! The wave of family reunions
sweeping over the country brought
to the home of J. NJ Klinger, near
our bea full city Thursday, a mighty
company of Ringers great and
small
They came by all the various ways
of modern travel, by train, by auto
mobile. by carriage, by hack, and
some rode on shank's horses.
Eighteen cities and towns were
represented and a goodly number
came from the rural districts as we'll.
They began to arrive on Wednes.
day and every train added numbers
to the crowd
The beautiful was beautiful. and
groups of reunited friends were to be
seen on the porch, under the trees,
and in the house, exchanging views
and deciding whether William and
John were second or third cousins,
and how many years since they met.
The older people enjoyed talking of
their earlier experiences and friends
1t was a jolly, happy crowd that
gathered at the tables at one o'clock
and partook of the bountiful dinner
served by Mr.. Albert.
AT the business meeting which toll
lowed, and was presided over by Mr..
Watson Klinger, of Dayton, Ohio,
we learned that Mrs. Lewis, who re-
sided at Salem, Ohio, and at whose
home the first meeting was held SIX
years ago, originated the Klinger re-
unions. A beautiful boquet of flow
ers was placed upon the table in her
memory. Four others have gone to
the great Beyond since last year,
and two homes have been frightened
by new members from babyland. All
ages were represented from three
months old to ninety years. Mr..

eighty-nine years, and his wife, who
was a Klinger, and but few years
younger, enjoyed the day to the ut
most, especially their automobile ride
given them by Mr.. c. II. Smithy, OF
Mishawaka, Ind.
The youngest man was baby Ken
meth Walz of South Bend, who was
three months old.
Among the guests was Rev. Peters
of Lapaz, Indiana, whose early life
was spent i,i Southwestern Ohio,
near the homes of the Ringers and
Cassels, and who spoke of them in
terms of praise
Mr.. D. o. Klinger of Greenville,
Ohio, was elected president for the
ensuing year, and~Mr E. R. Keseling
of Euphemia, Ohio, was elected cor
responding secretary.
The time of parting was gladdened
by promises of meeting next year at

Never Could Earn a Billion.

Would an earning capacity of $3.50
per day without an allowance for hats
and gowns from the first day Adam
entered the Garden of Eden, endow
that man with the wealth today pos
sessed by John D. Rockefeller?
Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa,
before the Will County. H., Chautau-
qua Sunday evening, declared that it
would not. The address of 1owa's
chief executive was entitled Tariff
Revision and Overcapitalization of
Railroads" In branching off from
this topic to indorse the action of
Judge Landis he drew the contrast
that ran through primitive, medieval
and modern times.
81 have been to some trouble, and
my secretary has been more troubled,
in compiling the necessary Statistics
declared Governor Cummins. AT my
instruction my secretary gave Adam
a salary of $3.50 day--on paper, of
course-and allowed it to pile up
from day to day until Saturday was
reached. : No part of the sum was
subtracted for household expenses.
Eve retained the same costume she
wore in the Garden of Eden and Ad-
am remained faithful 10 the leafy
frock in which he wooed Eve. French
creations were not for her Not even
a mother hubbard wrapper could be
purchased with this money 1t was
allowed to accumulate. and up 20
Saturday Adam had not reached the
billion dollar mark
Governor Cummins declared that
the fine imposed by Judge Lands
was commensurate with the immense
wealth of the corporation fined and
eminently just and proper.
