THE new tariff bill takes good care OF
that struggling infant, the Standard Oil
Company, by protecting it from competi-
ton as far as possible. Speaker Cannon
engineered the trick in the House, it is
said, and Senator Aldrich, the Republican
boss OF the Senate, who is the father-in-
law of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., will take
care of it in the upper branch OF Congress.
Who is taking care OF the people? Oh,
nobody.
