WAS DIFFICULT TO SELL OIL
STANDARD ROBBED INDEPEND-
ENTS OF ALL EXPORT TRADE.
w. D. Todd Throws Some Light on the
Business Methods of the
Oil Trust.

Cleveland, O.-"Our first move
is to make it as difficult and expen-
sive for independent companies to sell
oil as possible. That is our policy.
If we allowed the independent con-
Germs to thrive, where would the Stan
dard be in a few years?"
That is what was told w. ID. Todd
of the Cornplanters Oil Co. of Warren,
Pa, when he was called to the Stan
dard offices some years ago, he said.
Todd, in testifying Wednesday in the
governments action against the Stan
dard, threw light on the business
methods of the Standard.
For 20 years he has been at the
head of the Cornplanters' company,
which is a formidable competitor of
the Standard. His firm for years had
an export trade of about 5000 barrels
of illuminating oil a month and the
company also operates a pipe line
from Titusville to Warren, Pa.
Some years ago Messrs. Payne, Seep
and Tilford of the Standard called Mr.
Todd and four other Independent re-
liners to Buffalo, where they were
informed that the National Transit Co
would not supply the Independent re-
finers with crude oil unless they
turned over their export business to
the Standard
The next day Todd said his associ.
ates and the trio of Standard repre-
sentatiyes went to New York, where
a contract was drawn up in the STAN
ddrd offices at 26 Broadway. One of
the singular things about the iron.
clad contract was that not a sigma
ture was attached to it. But the doc
ument neYertheless was binding

Where Would He Get the so cents7


Don't you know" a Democratic
anti-protective tariff orator was argu
ing to an Irish-American whom he
was endeavoring to convince, that
you are paying too much for every.
thing you buy? You have paid pro
tective tariff prices for your coat and
your shoes and everything you have
on. How much did you pay for that
cap?"
Six shillings."
with free trade you could get as
good one for half a dollar"
THAT may be- replied Pat, but
I remember when we had free trade
I was out of work. Sure, where would
| get the so cents?"
This story isn't an argument against
tariff revision. 1t is On argument
against the kind of tariff revision
which would diminish the demand for

"A nobleman who becomes the hus-
band of an American heiress enters
into the marriage with a proper re-
spect for his bride. He does not crave
the alliance because of the financial
reasons, but because he is dominated
by the overwhelming beauty and fair
ness of the American girl. He is car
rled away by her philosophy, her logic.
her irresistible and fascinating mien."
says an Austro- Hungarian visitor in
Washington. Be-oo-tiful! But why
asks the Baltimore American. is it
that only girls with the largest sort of
fortunes have the peculiar brand of
philosophy, logic and irresistible and
Fascinating mien OF appeal to the for
elgn aspirants for American wives?

What They Need Is Rest

What the American people are more
In need of just now than anything else
is rest from unnecessary anxiety.
After the distressful crisis through
which they have lately passed they
want chance to recuperate, to re-
cruit their energies, to consolidate
their interests, and it is precisely of
this chance that the inception of a
tariff tinkering agitation would de-
priye them.-Allentown (Pa.) News.

Properly DEVELOPED Foreion Trade

No really intelligent protectionist
favors shutting the door in the face of
the foreign producer, None will deny
the healthful and profitable effect of
properly developed foreign trade. And
In no respect is advocacy of freer com
mercial intercourse with other nations
inconsistent with the policy of protect
ing home interests. Most other coun-
tries have their tariffs, and the United
States does not seek to break them
down or consider itself warranted in
any protest so long as it is treated as
equitably as others. There is an
ample field for trade expansion with
out coming into conflict with the eco
nomic views of other nations. Espe-
cially is this true of the South Amer
lean continent, where extraordinary
opportunities await American enter
prise. But they can be secured by es-
tablishing direct and convenient lines
of steamship communication but By
breaking down our tariff system

munity. 1t never WIS active in the
Jewish community. 70 such a NOR
ally religious ebb has this particular
individual come that one seeing the
hundreds flow from church on re-
cent Sunday, she remarked that re-
hgious and church-going people were
criminals, that they would be better
off without religion and church. This
is, indeed, a display of ignorance and
lack of culture. Another instance is
that OF young man who marries
non-Jewess. The latter, to please her
husbands parent, embraces Judaism
after months of study. The husband,
however, is non-observant, non
temple-going Jew and provokes his
wife's disgust at his disinterestedness
and she, who would have proven IA
good and worthy and conscientious
.Jewcss, gradually lapses into nothing
arianism. We could give numberless
instances, but these two are specific.

Pulpit

is well that it is so since its
dignity and its freedom must be up
held. But We hear still another note
or two. The Methodist Recorder"
states that the church of the present
day "has multiplied machinery and
brought the pastor into the relation
of master mechanic to his large or
ganiZation,' thus creating him "a
captain of industry rather than
preacher of the gospel" The writer
deprecates the preacher being in any
way the business manager of the
church and deplorcs the advance of
the Sunday school which very fire.
quently causes diminution in
church attendance. We fail to see
any lowering of the pulpit in this, it
all should aid the pulpit. We are
OF the opinion that the pulpit is low
cred by the method and the subject
of instruction which is too oft of a
poor quality and of an excess guam
tity. 1t is this which has weakened
the church as such. 1t no longer is
the mind-nourisher and admonisher,
1t no longer disseminatcs wholesome
and invaluable opinion which shall
affect public life for good. The pull
pit incumbent is missing the great OPP
portunity on account of his zeal for
the non-essentials of religion and
church life. He lays too much stress
on the dogma, and the theology, and
the creed, and too little, if any at
all. in healthy cooperative endeavor
OF the right kind. 1t is not so much
a lowering of the pulpit as a diminu-
ton and choking of its possible ac-
tivity with which we have to deal
