OIL Monopoly Charged with Unlaw.
full Methods in Raising Prices.
Following close on the track of tho
$50, 24e,0 900 fine imposed by Judge Lands
in Chicago on the Standard Gil Company
for violation Of the Elkins law in unlaw-
fully swelling it's profits by accepting Sc.
cret rebates from the Chicago and Alton
Railroad, significant revelations are made
public in a report submitted to President
Roosevelt by Herbert Knox Smith, Com.
missioner of Corporations, concerning the
operations of the Standard company. In
a previous report the means and methods
of the Standard were explained. The
present report sets forth the results of
those methods and the effect they have
had on the consumer of oil and on the
profits of the Standard Oil Company. 1t
deals with profits and price, showing just
how the manipulation of the oil industry
by the Standard has affected the pocket.
pool of the American people.
The report is accompanied by a letter
from Mr.. Smith to the President, in which
the commissioner makes a scatking sum-
mary of the facts found in the report.
In concluding his letter Mr.. Smith gives
a resume Of the facts he holds proved
facts which make the Standard Oil ap-
pear in q more unenviable light thar
over.

FEATURES OF THE DECISION.

To take from a corporation one-third OF
its net revenues accrued during a period
Of violations is not as much real power
as is employed when sentence is imposed
taking from a human being one day of his
liberty.
1t is the business of a judge to admin
lister the law as he find it, rather than to
expatiate upon the inadequacy of pun
ishment authorized for it's infraction.
Common honesty among men ought not
to be altogether ignored in business, even
in this day.
-, 1t is the substance of the thing and
not the mere form with which the law
is concerned. ...-, .
Waving the question of the studied
insolence of this language, in so far as it
may be aimed at the present occupant of
the bench, the court can, of course, only
leave to the discretion Of the Standard
Oil Company the wisdom and propriety
of a 100000 900 corporation gratuitous-
ly inaugurating agitation about the
mob
If a carrier enters the field for traffic
destined to points beyond its line and a
shipper turns his property so destined
over to it, such transportation is as clear
ly subject to the requirements of the in
t~erstate commerce law as would be the
case if the carrier owned and operated the
line through to destination.
Motive is not material in a case where
the proof is clear that it was the de-
PENDANT who committed the crime.
The court is not impressed by the dole
full predictions of counsel for the defend
800 --1 J. 3D. 800 Aln ~y~~-
shipping public to be anticipated from
the enforcement of this rule. The honest
man who tenders a commodity for trans
portation by a railway company will not
be fraudulently misled by that company
into allowing it to haul his property for
less than the law authorizes it to collect.
Under the doctrine insisted upon by
the defendant, the railway conpany might
give the Standard Oil Company 4 very
low transportation rate and, by contract,
obligate itself to withhold the same rate
from the very man the taking Of whose
property by condemnation rendered pos
sible the construction of the road.
1t is novel indeed for a convicted de-
PENDANT to urge the complete triumph
of a dishonest course as a reason why
such course should go UNPUBLISHED.
The conception and execution of such
a commercial policy necessarily involves
the contamination of subordinate officers
or employees, even looking to the time
when testimony will be required for the
protection of the revenues of the offender
from the eXactions of the law for its
violation.
We might as well look at this situation
snuarely. The men who thus delihera te-
ly violate this law. wound society more
deeply than does he who counterfeits the
coin or steals letters from the mail.
Where the only possible motive of the
crime is the enhancement of dividends,
and the only punishment authorized is a
fine. great caution must be exercised by
the court lest the fixing of a small
amount encourage the defendant to fu-
ture violations by esteeming the penalty
to be in the nature of a license.

TO LIGHT UP NIAGARA.
Illumination Of Famous Cataract {
Remarkable Scheme.

illumination af Famous Cataract n
Remarkable Scheme.
The contract has been closed for the
night illumination of Niagara Falls, and
the proposed plan for lighting the mighty
torrent will be the greatest feat ever con-
ceived in electrical illumination.
The illuminating scheme calls for near
ly 80 large searchlights, several of them
the largest of their kind and capable of
throwing a beam of light a hundred miles,
and the new color scintillator, a late in
vention. The projectors will be located
below the falls in two batteries, one at
the waters edge and the other on the high
ground of the Canadian side. Every inch
of the two falls will be under light.
The new color scintillator is an attach
ment fitted to the searchlights by which
the beams of light can be made any color
at will. Thus the mist and water, bathed
in all the colors Of the rainbow, will sur
pass anything in spectacular effect save
the great Northern Lights.
The proposition is to illuminate Nj
agara on a scale in keeping with the sur
roundings. 1t is said by the illuminating
experts that the rays of colored lights
when flashed in the air will be visible at
Rochester and Toronto.

Epoch-MnkinE Session.
The session was declared by man
of the lawyers to be an epoch-making
II in national history. From the
Federal bench and with the co-opera-
ton of the United States Government
prosecutors the Standard Oil Company
had received a penalty commensurate
with the ,vastness of it's holdings. If
the parent body of New Jersey does not
come to the assistance Of its subsidiary
branch it is considered likely the Indi-
ana company will suocumb.
From the bench it has been de
nounced as lawless, insolent and menac-
ing to the nation. The accepting. and
granting of rebates has been declared
to be the chief cause OF Its wealth and
the for the death Of its rivals.
The infliction Of the maximum fines
has established a precedent that is
taken to mean the elimination Of rebat-
ing and the probable prosecution Of
railroad officials on charges of conspir-
lacy to violate the interstate commerce
law, punishable by penal Imprisonment.

SHIPS SHELL A CITY.
MOORISH TOWN OF cAsABLANcA
BOMBARDED.
French and Spanish Cruisers Open
Fire Following Battle with Tribes
HI War Declared to BE

French and Spanish warships bonn
barded Casablanca as the result of
Moorish tribesmen firing upon troops
landed to protect the French Consulate.
Many casualties are reported. The
French Admiral ordered $50 sailors to
go ashore from the cruiser Galilee to
protect the French consulate. The
Moorish troops and tribesnen looked
upon the landing of the men us an IN
vasion and opened fire upon them. Be
sides many casualties among the Moors.
1t is reported that five French officers
and six sailors fell in the opening of
hostilities.
When the shells began breaking over
the town, the Moors quickly fell back
and the French sailors were able to
take up the wounded and care for them.
The MOors are aroused as they never
were before, and, spurrcd IN by their.
fanatic fears that invasion of their
country by foreigners means the end
of their rule, they are preparing them
selves for a stubborn defense of what
they deem their rights.
A dispatch from Tangier describing
the bombardment of Casablanca says
that the French cruiser Du Clayla and
the Spanish gun5oat Den AIvara de
Bazan participated with the Galilee in
the bombardment of the villages sur
rounding Casablanca, which were de-
stroyed by the fire of the warships.
During the bombardmen large rein
forcements of tribesmen came up, and
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-08-16

many of them were killed or wounded.
The Casablanca battery joined in the
firing on the foreign warships, where
upon the guns Of the French and Span
ish cruisers were turned on the battery,
which soon caused the Moorish COM
mander to send a messenger to the
French admiral requesting his pardon.
This was refused, and the admiral sent
a perenptory order to the Moorish
commander to surrender himself to the
French consul.
Morocco has warned all foreigners
to leave Rabat, the seaport on its west
coast, as a massacre is believed to be
imminent. Europeans are terror
stricken because of the threat of the
Noors that all Christians are to be
massacred in what is believed will be
the greatest holy wal in the worlds
history.
Orgies In Holy War.
The declaration of a holy wal such as
has just broken out in Casablanca, Mo-
rocco, with the murder and torture of a
number of Christians, or Nazarenes, as
tho Mohammedans derisively call the
whites, is a periodical event in northern
Africa.
1t is always attended with fanatical
orgies of the widest kind. and the life
of a Christian falling into the hands
of the religions crazed mob is not worth
a straw. Death is not enough, either,
and the most atrocious indignities are WIS.,
tied upon the bodies of the ''infidel.'
Travellers who have witnessed the be-
ginnings of holy vars say that the
scenes attending them are weird and
thrilling. The white-robed fanatics, with
coal black faces, blazing eyes and barred,
white teeth, dash hithsr and thither
through the narrow streets, sometimes
shrieking curses at Christians and their
religion, changing to a chant of passages
frsn Che koran and finally throwing them
selves to the ground with their faces to
the east, and praying to Allah and Mo-
BANNED his prophet.
In these frenzies there is no deed that
they will not perform a holy war enthu-
siAst would alone charge a regiment of
white soldiers and die with a smile Of
Syous happiness.
