Anybody who has an idea that the
Standard Oil Co. is at beneflcent in
Its character has only to read the
editorial note from the Philadel-
phia Record concerning the cinch
the Standard has on the petroleum
business in this country to find that
IT is taking pretty good care Of it
self, and that it is not losing much
money these days:
The production Of petroleum in the
United States in 1908 amounted to
179.572.479 barrels, valued at $685.
7O6.258. The Standard Oil company
manages to handle about 80 8 cent
Of this product. at a net profit APP
proximating $83.000.0O0. This re-
qutres a dexterity Of management
that approaches sublimity. There are
causists, however, who insist that
the Standard is a be%nefcence, and
that II the oil were handled by a mob
instead OF q monopoly the consumers
would suffer as a consequence. The
fact that the average price Of crude
oil in 1908 vas 20 cents a barrel and
that the Standard managed to gather
ina profit Of So cents q barrel upon
the whole product, opens an enticing
field OF inquiry.

would correspond with the kind OIL

would correspond with the kind Of!
conferences" that disposed Of the
business OF the old-fashioned COM
MENTIONS before they met. The Mitch
!ell conference is to be an open meet
ing for all who believe in principles
related to good government, and so
far as the call discloses, its purpose
is to discuss such principles and re-
solve upon ways and means of giving
them practical support in the APP
iproaching campaign.
So the Journal is disingenuous is
lit, simply because it has called the
turn so truthfully on the meeting of
The republicans in this cityFriday Of
this week. II there were any dire
need Of the republicans of the state
being called together then perhaps
the Journal would be deemed guilty
OF the charge made by the Press. 1t
is not the republican party Of South
Dakota that is to be assembled in
this city Friday, but merely a fac
ton Of the party, which sees that 1t
is in great distress and the signal
for help has been thrown out over
the state. While the republicans Of
the state have been invited, yet in the
same call the progressive republican
faction is n which is expected to
flock to Mitchell under the banner
of republicanism to try and fix up
the fences which have been SO ruth
lessly shattered in, the past few
months. 1t Is announced that the
meeting will be al open one--and
|doubtlessly one session will be open
but what will be accomplished when
the leaders of the faction get to-
gether for a quiet talk will be an
entirely different proposition. The
fact that the progressives are
more or less involved in a scrap is
sufficient evidence that something
will be done about the ticket which
will be put up for the primaries
for we are inclined to think that it
will be injurious to the success of
the progressives If the bars are to
remain down and let any and all
Jump into the field. There must be
some endorsement go forth from this
coming meeting which will act as
warning against others getting into
the field and thus create sad havoc
with the plans. OF course it will go
out that the conference was held.
that the doors were open, that every
man had a right to express himself
and say what he thinks is best for the
progressive republicans. But they
are only q part Of the party. and the
indications point to the fact that
they will be the lesser part of the
party after the primary is held next
year-and that event is suficiently
far away as to make the present
haste altogether unnecessary.

popular with a good majority of the
people Of this country. Commander
Peary has done so by reason Of his
selfish attitude with reference to the
discovery of the north pole, when he
assumed to say that DIR. Cook was
an imposter. Both of the explorers
are now on their native soil and the
supposition is that from now on the
war will be a merry one, particularly
on the side of Peary, if he keeps up
with his reputation established for
u~nfairness since his return. Just why
Peary would expect the people to
accept his statement that he had dis
covered the pole and that Cook had
a mystery. His alleged discov-
cry Is just as susceptible to question
as that Of Cooks and more so from
the fact that he has shown no proof
whatever that Cook was not the first
man at the pole. DR.. Cook, however,
is taking things cool and is perfectly
willing to submit everything he has
in his possession to prove that he is
telling the truth. Later on Cook de-
clares he will have two living wit

ghost to throw a whole lot of dis
turbance in their ranks. Then Dick
Richards has broke with the faction
and he has to be reckoned with to a
great extent. When the waters get
stirred up this state will see about
one of the most peculiar scraps OF
any state of the union. Progressive
republicanism landed Senator Craw-
ford In the senate but 1t has prac-
tically wrecked the party, and the
whole thing had to be done for Craw-
ford and he is pretty well satisfied.
All that worries the new senator is
the question whether he can be re-
elected. He car rest assured, how
ever, that many of the followers who
put him in the place will take off
their coats to get him out. There is
so little to be gained In this coming
meeting that will be of political bene-
fit that there is little use of its be-
ing held. 1t is made necessary how
ever, by the. results of the Huron
meeting, where some other resolu-
lions were presented and which
proved a very disturbing element in
the gathering. We refer to the Dick
Richards resolutions, and we under
stand that at the Mitchell meeting
Mr.. Richards will press his resolu-
tions to a more definite conclusion.
Let the merry war go on In the pro-
gressive ranks.

MUST PAY THHE U

A man who brings a Chinese joss
into this country must pay duty on
it according to a decision of James
b. Reynolds, assistant secretary of
the treasury. Church regalia and
gems are admitted duty free under
the new tariff law, and among the
articles held to be regalia within the
meaning of the law are aims basins,
~candlesticks, cassocks for choirs and
communion service. Among the ar
ticles on which duty must be paid
are affairs. pulpits, confessionals,
choir stalls, altar cloths, Chinese
losses and joss house fittings.

The republicans of South Dakota
are called to meet In Mitchell, on Fri
day, Oct. 1, during corn palace week.
While the call includes republicans
the invitation grows more specific
and urges the attendance Of those
republicans who are in sympathy
with the progressive ideas which are
alleged to be dominant in South Da-
kota at the present time. These re-
publicans are coming together for
the purpose Of building up the fences
of that faction. which by the way
have been ruthlessly torn down by
their W hands. We are at a loss to
know why the progressive republi-
cans should get together, for it will
call out only a small proportion Of
that faction and about only the Of
flee holders and the leaders will get
to the meeting where the plans can.
be laid for the selection of candi-
dates. This meeting takes on M
thing of the very thing which the
progressives have been fighting and
in direct opposition to the tenets of
the primary system. 1t was not sup
posed that the progressives would
for a moment do anything to vio-
late what their alleged principles
stand for, but the desire to control
and place certain persons in light Of
strong candidates that they overlook
their former teachings. AS a crea-
zion of progressive republicanism
George Egan is now u as a can
didate for governor, and his presence
in the party candidacy will tend more
than anything to disrupt the party
to a farther degree. but the progress

The Charleston News and Courier
expresses great satisfaction over the
appointments of federal officials in
South Carolina made by President
Taft since his Inauguration last
March. The Courier Is of the opinion
that the government will get good
and faithful service from the Off
Gals and besides that the south will
feel that it is having a hand in the
running Of the government.

additional proof. The greater proper
ton of the people, we believe, are
standing by Cook. Admiral Schley is
also a strong believer in DR.. Cook
and his public expressions have shown
that the navy is not supporting Peary
in the way that he expected.
