Il enthusiastically endorse the call
ing of the Oriental conference, and will
aid in bringing it about. A pow arful
association is being formed by most
influential scholars and public men to
bring Japan anu America to closer
understanding of the problems of the
orient under the agreement when
might be known as a Japan American
alliance. Through this association ii
is probable that the proposition to call
the conference of England, America
and Japan may be brought officially
before the government.

CHICAGO, oct. 24-Although Will
liam Randolph Hearst, who is acting
In the interests of the republican par
ty for the election of it's candidates,
has not read any letters revealing the
connection which James s. Sherman
is said to have with the Standard Oil
company, Mr.. Sherman's services for
that gigantic trust is plainnly shown
by his attitude upon the railroad rate
bill passed by congress two years ago.
Mr.. Sherman in the interests of the
Standard Oil, was the man who led
the fight for the exemption of pipe
lines as common carriers. BY his eff
forts he succeeded in holding up both
houses Of congress and the conferees
upon the bill until he had exacted an
amendment which eliminated the
the measure.
The senate agreed to an amendment
to the rate bill making it unlawful for
any common carrier to transport any
commodity produced by itself, lumber
and its products being excepted. When
the measure went into conference Mr..
Sherman was one of the conferees on
the part of the house, and led the
fight to change the words common
carrier" which meant pipe lines as
we'll as railroads, to railroad COM
pany." He readily saw, as a represent
ative of Standard Oil interests, that to
make all common carriers .amenable
to the law would be a serious blow to
the Standard Oil company, which
transports it's product in it's own pipe
lines and refused to accept the pro-
