RARE CHANCE TO GET SUITS.
ID. J. Kaufman Offers Patrons Al
vantage of His Big Purchase.

A certain combination Of circumstances
viii bring about an opportunity In com
mercial affairs which, IL grssped by the
enterprising merchant. will enable him to
offer his clientele a real bargain in desfra-
bic merchandise.
such an opportunity was presented n
d. J. kaufman, the popular clothier. AZ
le5-l06 Pennsylvania avenue. when he
purchased the entire balance of stock Of
fine spring and summer suits of Ham
burger Bros & Co. 0f Baltimore. Nd
These suits We're bought az a special saw
ing and the patrons ~ Mr Kaufman are
now getting the full advantage of that
saving In the great special sale now I'm
progress az the Mans store" This lot
includes only the finest hand-tail9red
garments, an 1917 models, IN the most
desirable styles and fabrics. and they are
offered at such tempting bargain prices
that every man who has not vet procured
his summer OUTFIT should avail himself Of
the opportunity o. save money az once
one Of the reasons that gives the public
such confidence In this sale is the fact
that every suit IN these bargain lots is
backed by Mr. Kaufnan's famous guar
anjee of moneys worth or money back"
Many patrons are buying two and three
suits, as such a sale Is # rare occurrence.

Senator Knoxs name will be brought

Nullifying Rate LAW.

The Standard. having prevented the
rise Of independent pipe lines. having de-
stroyod or absorbed the few that were
successfully constructed against its oppo-
sitloa, having then refused the use Of its
own lines to producers and reiners who
had no other outlet, now plainly intends
to nullify, so far as its own lines are con-
cerned, the Common-carrier requirements
OF the rate law. This condition should
receive careful attention. 1t is clear that.
especially in view of the action of the
Standard pipe lines respecting the new
and increasingly important mid-contnent
and Illinois fields, immediate considera-
ton should be given to the enforcement
OF the pipeline provisions of that law. II
should he further pointed out that in GER
tain of the States which would naturally
be crossed by independent pipe lines. no
law now exists giving the right Of emf
nent domain to pipeline companies.
In brief, the history and present oper-
alton Of these Standard interests shows
throughout the past thirty-five years A
substantial monOpOlizatiOn OF the petro-
leum industry Of the country, a deliberate
destruction Of competition. and a conse-
quent control Of that industry by less
than dozen men. who have reaped enor-
nous profits therefrom. The commercial
efficiency OF the Standard, while very
great has been consistently directed. not

ton through superior service but rather

typical American form Of democracy that
will sooner or later characterize music, as
we'll as other enterprises. II is similar TO
the movement for training the working
classes in music. which originated with
Frank Damrosch, of New York, was sue
cessfully promoted by Samuel w. Cole Of
Boston, and has spread through many
American cities and towns.
The musical movement does not always

of pages IN the city directory show names

St Paul. where organists get Sl,50O a year
and good singers $40 a Sunday. Cleveland

Attitude Is Hostile.

In the amendment 20 the interstate

June. 1906. pipe lines engaged in inter
state commerce were declared 10 be COM
mon carriers. They were also made sub
ject 10 all the provisions Of that act. and
are thus required. among other duties. 10
avoid discrimination. to make reasonable
rates. to file tariffs with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and to submit re-
ports TO that body. The reception thus
far given this act by Standard OIL inter
ests is extremely hostile. The attitude
of the Standard may be summarized as
follows:
Il. Several Of the Standards pipe lines
engaged in interstate commerce have
filed no tariffs whatever with the Inter
state Commerce Commission. and have
refused TO transport oil for others
20 In tariffs filed by other Standard
companies no rates have been named 10
many important and desirable destina
tions but most rates apply only to inter
mediate points to which no one wishes 10
ship, or TO points where only Standard
refneries exist.
% All tariffs thus far fled Except for
fcw purely local services require an
unreasonably large amount of oil to be
shipped at a single time
4. The Standard lines have changed
their policy of publishing statistics Of
runs. shipments, and staEks of oil, so as
to make such information Of much less
value than before
