Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in tr'
cause of economic reform has been in no wise
abated by the panic which he and his kind did
SO much to bring on, is out with an answer
TO President Moffett of the Standard OIL
company of Indiana. The publication of THIS
answer It is officially given out. was delayed
several weeks "for business reasons be-
cause IT was not deemed advisable to further
excite the public mind, which was profound
Iy disturbed by the crisis. Now that the
storm clouds have rolled by. however, the
commissioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points
in the defense of the Standard Oil company
as presented by President Moffett, were ~
that rate Of. 6 cents on oil from Whiting to
East St Louis had been issued to the STAN
dard Oil company as the lawful rate by en-
pIoyes of the Alton, (2) that the 1s-cent rate
on file with the Interstate commerce connmis-
sion was a class and not commodity rate.
never being intended to apply to oil, (S) that
oil was shipped in large quantities between
whiting and East st. Louis over the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois at 6A cents per 100 pounds,
which has been filed with the interstate COM
merce commission as the lawful rate and 90
that the 1S-cent rate on Oil was entirely out
of proportion toslawful rates on other COM
modities between these points of a similar
character and of greater value such, for ex-
ample, as linseed OIL the lawful rate on which
was cents President Moffett also stated
that thousands of tons of freight had been
sent by other shippers between these points
under substantially the same conditions as
governed the shipments of the Standard OIL
company.
This defense of the Standard Oil company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex-
erted a powerful influence upon the public
mind. Naturally the administration which
has staked the success of its campaign
against the trusts" upon the result of its at
tack upon this company, endeavors to offset
this influence, and hence the new deliverance
of Commissioner Smith
We need hardly to point out that his re-
buttal argument is extremely weak although
as strong no doubt, as the circumstances
would warrant He answers the points made
by President Moffett substantially as follows:
Cd The Standard OIL company had a traffic
department and should have known that the
e-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no answer.
(s) the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rate was
a secret rate because it read, not from Whit
ing but from Dolton, which is described as
"a village of about 1900 population just OUT
side Chicago Its only claim to note is that
1t has been for many years the point OF or
igin for this and similar secret rates.. The
commissioner admits in describing this rate
that there was note attached stating that
the rate could also be used from Whiting.
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement of the commissioner of corpora

FEDERAL ENGINEERS
SHOW APPRECIATION
COLONEL LOCKWOOD OF HAR7oR
j EXAMINERS WRITES LETTER
Message from Washington to Chair
man of California Promotion Conn
mittee Expresses Thanks for
courtesies Extended

The board of engineers for rivers
and harbors of the United States
army, a committee of which recently
visited California, has shown its ap-
probation of the courtesies extended
to the committee during IT'S stay in
California, in letter signed by Col.
D. w. Lockwood, chairman of the
board, which has been received by the
California Promotion committee.
The committee consisted of Col
Lockwood. Lieut. Col. Smith S. Leach
and Capt. A. H. Weber, and was sent
to California at the request of the
California Promotion committee to ex-
anime such projects as had been re-
commended to it and were to come
up for consideration.
Public hearings were held at San
Francisco for Eureka, Stockton and
Sacramento, and in addition to these
the committee visited the Oakland har-
Dor, although there is no project re-
lating to 1t before the board.
This was done at the request or the
committee. In order that the work
might be facilitated. 1t sent Dr. Car
ence e. Edwords to escort 1t and ex-
tend to II such courtesies and assist
ance as lay in his power. He met the
members on their arrival in the state
and remained with them until their de-
parture. The following letter ex--
presses the appreciation of the board
of its efforts in its interests:

ERS AND HARBoRS.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10, 1908
..Mr. Rufus P. Jennings, Chairman California
Promotion Committee. San Francisco. Cal.
Dear Sir: The board OF engineers Tor riv-
crs and harbors desires to acknowledge, with
MANY thanks the courtesiss of the California
Promotion committee in assigning DR.. Clar-
ence e. Edwords as escort to the committee OF
the board while making Its recent investiga-
,tions in the state OF California; and 1t wishes
to further testify to the valuable services rem
dc, ed by him.
''Dr. Edwords is possessed of very generous
fund of useful information which he dispensed
freely to the members OF the committee, and
he also lightened their burdens in many ways
by assuming responsibility for transportation
and hotel arrangements. etc., which would
otherwise have proven onerous. His very
pleasant and sgenial society also rendered the
hours of travel between objective points pleas
ant as well as instructive.
''Finally, the committee desires to express Its
appreciation for your personal attentions and

the surgeons at the receiving hospital,
by an overindulgence in alcoholic
liquors, fell at his home and struck
his head against the corner of door,
cutting a cash in his scalp.
The door was forced to and sthe
sound made by it's closing was thought
to be that of pistol shot. Arneson
was found lying face down in pool
of blood and the report was sent to
the police station he had shot him
self.
Arneson was taken to the receiving
hospital, where he was given a seda-

the effects of his debauch. He has
been drinking heavily for several
weeks, according to his neighbors, be-
cause of his inability to find work.

II came out here after farming in

with the Rock Island for twenty years;
turned to farming when the Chicago

of mine from Texas, then with the
Southern Pacific here in the signal de-
partment, asked me to come in his de-
partment did so.
II have been stationed at every flag
crossing in town-eight in all-and
never had death at any of them while
I was in charge; nor even team run
into, or a note from the railroad COM

have some busy days at the old Com

old lady stepped right on to the track
back of one train which had just

other. But pulled her out safely. An

whistle. 1 threw him clear over to the

they were held up by the gates for "a

for them to get by afterward, so many
of them.
Now and then there are reckless
drivers who disregard your flag and
take their own risks. That's up to
