Standard Oil Granted New Trial and
S29,24OOOO Fine May Never Be Paid

lawful rate. Proof that the company
agreed to accept a return of a part of
the full rate, stopping there, would not
support an indictment for accepting a
rebate. Such an agreement is not bind
ing, and at any time before its execu-
ton the shipper may insist upon the
carrier keeping the whole amount.
1.-THE concession differs from the re-
bate only that in the concession the
shipper, instead of paying the full rate
and receiving back part, merely set
ties for the difference. The result is
the same-the property is transported
for the same amount less than the law
full rate. And there Is no basis in the
statute for holding that in case of ac-
cepting a concession the transaction is
consummated and the door of repent
ance is closed at any moment earlier
than in the case of accepting a rebate.
So, proof that a shipper has agreed to
accept a concession stopping there
= will not support an indictment
for accepting a concession until the
intended wrong becomes an accom-
plished fact.
Measures Adopted Arbitrary
1.-THE number of offenses in the pres
ent case should have been ascertained
in accordance with those principles.
1HeS6 measures duOPNCo ny NAAS Ae-A
court were wholly arbitrary-had no
basis in any intention or fixed rule
discoverable in the statutes. And no
other way of measuring the number of
offenses seems to have been given a
thought either by the government or
by trial course.
"At to whether Judge Lands in i'm
posing the monumental fine abused the
discretion vested in the court, the
court opines:
briefly stated, the reason of the trial
court for imposing this sentence was
because after conviction and before
sentence it was brought out that the
capital stock of the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana, the defendant before
the court, was principally owned by the
New Jersey corporation, corporation
not before the court-the trial court
adding: Upon no evidence, however
to be found in the record and upon no
information specifically referred to,
that in concessions of the character TOT
which the defendant before the coure
had been indicted, tried and convicted
the New Jersey corporation was not
virgin offender.
as a sentence such as this sound?
Can a court without abuse of judicial
discretion wipe out all the property
of a defendant before the court and
all the assets to which its creditors
look in an effort to reach and punish
a party that is not before the court
a party that is not even indicted? can
an American judge without abuse OF
judicial discretion condemn any one
who has not had his day in court?
"That to your mind is strange doc
trine in Anglo-Saxon Jurisprudence.
Can it rightfully be done here on
no other bases than that judges per-
sonal belief that the party marked
by him for punishment deserves pun
ishment? If it is so, 1t is because the
man happens to be the judge and is
above the law"

TAFT THE BEST MAN.

Editor Cook OF the Lander State
Journal gives some cogent reasons
why Taft was the choice of the people
Of Wyoming in the following brief edi-
torial:
The nomination OF Taft and Sher-
man is more than satisfactory to the
people OF Wyoming. The republicans
OF this state have been consistently
for Secretary Taft since the day he
was first mentioned, lot because they
were coercei or forced into line by the
big bosses, for the big bosses we're
all against Taft, but because they be-
iieve that he lis the best man in the
United States today for the high Of
fee. They we're not for him because
they feared to be behind some other
than q winner because 1t looked for a
long time like the allies, AS they came
to be called, might easily combine and
beat him. The people of Wyoming
want Taft because they believe in pro
gressive republican principles honest
ly and fairly administered. They want
to see what have been called the
Roosevelt policies quietly and steadily
carried out without any hysteria or
g%randstand play and no man is better
fitted TO do this than Is the big secre-
tary of war. Taft is a diplomat. Who
ever heard of him failing to carry his
point and who ever heard OF him in a
row? He is Q constructive Statesman
of rare ability. Who but him could
have licked the Filipinos into some
kind of an organized government?
Who else could have handled the Gu
bans so satisfactorily? Who but Taft
could have ironed out the troubles in
Panama? Wyoming believes in Taft
because he is there with the goods
every time and never makes any un-
before him. Sherman, his running
mate, is not SO well known in the west
but the east wanted him and We all
understand that politics Is largely a
game of give and take. We of the
west got the man We wanted and we
are perfectly willing to concede some
thing to the east. Sherman is a much
ADLER man than has usually been nom
mated for the vice-presidency and
would doubtless prove a very capable
man for the presidential chair should
he by any means succeed to that posi-
ton. The ticket is strong and well
balanced and it will get the electoral
votes of Wyoming when election day
comes"

TREND TOWARD SOCIALISM.

The trend Of democracy is toward
socialism, while the republican party
stands for a wise and regulated indi-
vidlalssm. Socialism would destroy
wealth. Republicanism would prevent
its abuse, Socialism would give to
each an equal right to take; republi-
canism would give to each an equal
right to earn. Socialism would offer
IN equality of possession which would
O leave no n anything to possess !;
rerublicanism would give equality of
opportunity which would assure to
each his share of a constantly increas.
ing sum of possessions. In line with
this tendency the democratic party of
today believes in government owner
ship. while the republican party De-
lieves in government regulation. Ulti-
mately, democracy would have the ma
ton own the people, while republican
ism would have the people WI the
nation. Republican Platform.
