In the Standard Crucible

In spite of the Standard Oil Company's de-
mand for retention of duty on petroleum and its
products the House committee of the whole voted
petroleum the free list, and our dispatches say
that the matter will be given considerable prom
inence in the Senate.
You bet Not long ago. 1t was publicly
shown that the Standard had under hire the
senior senator from it's home state, Ohio. Foraker
was retired and Theodore E. Burton, from Rock
efellers home city, Cleveland, elected. Bur-
ton will now be tested. He is comparatively a
young man but has had considerable experience
and rendered faithful service member of the
rivers and harbors and other important commit
tees of the lower house. He is not wealthy man
but rather a man sprung from the common peo-
ple. The most powerful friends of the Standard
are located at Cleveland and it goes without say
ing that tremendous social, financial and political
influence will be brought to bear upon Ohfo's
young senator, to make him Standard man
when this issues comes up in the Senate.
Indeed, the matter will have considerable
prominence. Another honorable, promising,
popular statesman is to be tested in the Rookie
Teller crucible, and the matter will have prom
inence in the thought of the whole people.
Nothing more deserves prominence than the
placing on trial of q man like Burton for his
honor patriotism and loyalty.
