The annual meeting at the Anti
Saloon League was held at Mitchell
last week. Reports from the various
departments indicate that the year
just closed was the most successful in
its history. Whatever may be ones
opinion as to the right or wrong OF
the liquor traffic, all must admit that
the Anti-Saloon League is the organi,
za,ion that is accomplishing results
in the fight against the liquor inter
ests. 1t is conducted on broader lines
than the prohibition party, which &C
counts for the success of the one and
the failure of the other The league,
at times, goes further than many can
approve, as witness its attempt to
secure the jug handled, onesided
county option law, but just the same
it is force that must be reckoned
with, aud it would not be at all sur
prising if il became successful in the
issue mentioned, unlcs4 headed off by
state wide prohibition.

ANDREW FRAME, a former president
of the American Bankers Association,
is out in support of central banking
system after carefully stipulating
there should be no competition by the
government against the private and
national banks which do now, or
which may hereafter, exist. He
opposes the postal savings bank and
guarantee of bank deposits. Speak.
ing of competition, the banks want
the government to complete with pri-
vate enterprises when in their partic-
.ular interest. How many banks fail
to patronize the government when in
need of envelopes?

just as much for refined oil and just
as much for gasoline as when the
price for the crude oil was S1.50 per
barrel. The services of the federal
government have been enlisted, and
efforts are being made to put stop
to the robbery of the oil producers by
the Standard, but SO far without sue
cess. One would think that the real
system would be the installation of
independent refineries backed by cap
ital enough to fight the Standard to
a finish, but men with money who
have watched the course of the Stand
ard are not disposed to invest their
money in an unequal contest, and
hence it is an easy fight for the
Standard at the cost OF the men who
owen the wells. The we'll owners of
those states are merely agents of the
Standard with no immediate prospect

Shober is TO go to Washington to sue

The Argus. Leader would do much

wheel shall turn and the time come
for him to lose the job. He may fight
and everyone will know he is in the
game, but he is just as good loser
as he is a winner. Shober has our
congratulations for his good luck,
and the Senators have our approval
for rewarding one Of the best fighters
among their friends.

STANDARD OIL is BUSY

The owners of oil wells in Kansas
and Oklahoma are so angry at the
Standard Oil company that the news
papers of those states are limiting at
a "bloody revolution" to bring the
Standard to book. When oil was first
discovered in that section, the Stand
ard put the price of crude oil up to
81 so per barrel and at that price hun.
dreds of properties were developed.
When the work of development had
proceeded as far as the Standard
wished, the trust began to cut the
price. 1t was first dropped to 81
then to $l.00, then to S5 cents and
from that on down until it is now
bringing but 33 ceuts barrel. The
price is SO low that only few of the
big wells can operate at profit.
Meanwhile the Standard is charging

In different paragraphs of the same
editorial upon the political situation
which appeared in the Argus-Leade

sentences:
After Governor Vessey got into of,

1t would be much better for Mr.
VesSey to pull out of the fight and to

We are moved to suggest that il

HIS MASTERS EYE.

Failures of legislatures to do the
things that they are elected and ex-
pected by the people to do, may usual
ly be traced to the fact that it is so
easy for Legislators to escape personal
and individual responsibility. In a
large lawmaking body, the division of
responsibility is such that good bills
may often be smothered with impun-
ity. There is. however, a growing
disposition on the part Of the public
to hold leaders and committee chair
man responsible for such acts
A large delegation of mayors and
special commissioners from the cities
of Illinois has recently demanded OF
Governor Deneen that he call the
Legislature in extra session, and that
he make the bill empowering cities to
adopt the commission form of govern
ment one of the matters to be taken
up. In presenting this demand, the
Governors callers INDUCED in bitter
denunciation of the 'house machine
and especially of the committee chair
man who neatly suffocated the bill at
the regular session and prevented any
vote whatever.
Similarly the people of the west
hold Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon personally responsible foI
those schedules of the tariff act which
fail to carry out Republican promises
To Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee, on the other hand
they give due credit for his almost
single handed efforts in committee
on the floor and in conference to see
justice done.
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times that the people show strong
disposition TO trace public RESPONSE
bility to it's real repository. 1t is
always we'll for the servant OF tie
public to feel that the m tster's eye
is on him = Minneapolis Journal.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt announced his
aims and his achievements with an
enunciation so distinct as to leave no
doubt as to either. President Taft
has not invariably remembered, or
taken care, to enlighten the public as
to his intentions, but has left course
of action to be misconstrued in some
quarters.
The Presidents omission to take
the public into his confidence afford
ed the original, and almost the sole,
basis for what has come to be termed
''the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy"
Secretary Garfield, deeming quick
action necessary to protect certain
waterpower sites, issued a blanket
order Withholding from settlement a
million and a half acres of public
lands. Secretary Ballinger, succeed
ing Mr.. Garfield soon after the issue
of the first order, utilized the ma
chinery at his disposal to ascertain, so
far as possible, the exact location of
power sites on the withdrawn land.
Having done this, he cancelled the
blanket order and issued another
whereby, withdrawing only 100000
acres, he actually withheld from set
Element so per cent more sites than
had been protected in the first in
stance. His action was the next logi-
cal step in the policy of his prede-
cessor. There is. in fact. nothing to
indicate that Mr.. Garfield would not
have pursued the same course had he
remained in Office.
The Ballinger order was dictinct
furtherance of the conservation policy,
and yet it was permitted to become
the basis of an attack on the Taft Ad-
ministration for alleged disloyalty to
that policy. And because President
Taft was so busy with Congress at
the time that he forgot to take the
public into his confidence, and failed
to explain the occasion and purpose

TAFT DRAWS A DISTINCTION

President Taft draws a distinction
which never occurred to bis predeces-
sor, and which may prove the search.
light TO rive the obscurity that in
vests the interlocked questions of rail
ways and interstate commerce.
The Sherman Antitrust Law, which
all agree needs amendment, extends
its prohibition over railways and in
dustries alike. President Taft would
exempt not onl, labor unions but also
railways from the application of the
Sherman Act. He would confide the
regulation of railways to an admins
trative and a judicial body, while the
regulation of interstate industries
would be confded to different body.
4 cornuIon carrier is one thing. An
industry that ships over the common
carrier is another. Because an indus
try that is monopoly or that exhib
its tendency to become monopoly,
requires 20 be restrained, supplies no
reason for prohibiting combinations
among railways. In other words that
which invites restraint, or regulation
in railways is not the same as that
which invites restraint or regulation in
industrial corporations. When the
distinction is stated, it seems simple.
Why should common carriers not
consolidate? The evils we suffer from
railways do not proceed from their
consultations. Indeed, such evils
can be more easily remedied by Gov
ernment when committed by the sim
plified consolidation. than when dis
persed among the multiplicity of own
erships and managerships. Peculiar
railway evils, such as rebates, have
fiourished because of competition, not
because of consolidation. The COM
plex problem of rates, which the In
terstate Commerce Commission en-
deavors to solve, is still more compli-
Gated by multiform ownerships and
corporate managerships.
Mr.. Roosevelt went as far as urging
the repeal of the prohibition against
railway pooling, or at least, the devils
ing of a substitute for pooling.
The problem of the railways is not
the problem of the industries. Because
competition should be upheld as re-
CARDS industries is no argument
against consolidation among common
carriers. Railways rates can be the
more easily regulated and supervision
over railways the more easily establish
ed, as railway ownership and manager
ship approach unification.
The separation of the railway ques-
tion from the industrial question is .
long step toward right solutions Of
them both.-Minneapolis Journal.

A lot of these candidates don't

colored papers, but their an-
nouncement appears ia every
white paper of the city. and yet
they have the temerity and gall,
to ask you for your vote, don't
forget them. No. Ask them
why they draw the "color line.
1t is time for the colored people
to watch these things. If they
are so anxious to help colored
people, they cannot better do so
than to help colored enterprises,
especially colored papers. The
white papers will not print any
thing save the criminal side of
the Negro. Therefore, it IS high
time for US to set up and take
notice. During the riot not a
white paper advised the colored
people to stand fast and protect
their homes, not one. Neither
did single pap condemn Mrs.
