THE STANDARD
 OIL IN CHINA

The two largest and most successful foreign business concerns in China are American, says Louis :Brownlaw in Success Magazine They are the Standard Oil Company and the Tobac- co Trust. The former operates under it's American charter, and is controlled from No. 26 Broadway, New York.
 It was the desire of the oil men to induce the Chinese poorer classes to use kerosene. It was to this end that a small lamp was invented which could be sold at cost for about five or six cents. A quarter of a million of these lamps were made in an Ohio city and sent out to Shanghai. The Standard Oil agent gathered into his office the representatives of several of the huge Chinese merchant guilds. They were shown the lamps, it was explained to them how even this small light would be a great luxury in household where there had never been any arti- ficial illuminant; how the luxury would soon develop into a necessity, and how the purchaser of lamp must thereafter forever be a purchaser of oil-in, fact, a very slave of the lamp. The Chinese merchants were not slow 10 see the advantages to them as the retail distributors of the oil, and they placed their orders for lamps This is one of the reasons why the Standard Oil business in China has prospered so wonderfully, and it illustrates in it. self the vastness of the Chinese market and it's susceptibility to being trained to demand goods which it does not now consume.

Banker Clews finds, in his weekly review of Wall street conditions. that ''in place of the extreme pessimism and uneasiness which has existed for several weeks. a more hopeful and con- fident feeling developed". and he an ticipates "a gradual rise in security values. accompanied of course by fre- quent recessions." There is he says, nothing ip sight to prevent a gradual upward trend"
 In commenting upon President Taft's discovery that no funds have been provided to carry out the publicity features of the corporation tax. MT. Clews says:
 His attitude regarding reasonable publicity for large corporations IS sound, and should be supported. There is no more reason why the great in- dustrial corporations should not give certain details regarding their affairs than the railroads. Publicity regard ing their affairs is one of the chief safeguards against abuse of the great powers which they possess. Remove the mystery concerning these large or gauizations ard much of the public f1istrust of them would immediately vanish. Publicity, by promoting the confidence of investors and disarming popular clamor, would do more toward conserving the legitimate interests of stockholders than any other single act. Publicity. however, is only one of other reforms necessary in the man. agement of our great corporations. and it is folly to assume that carry ing tfem out is going to work any in jury to the stock market. It is quite probable that the introduction of re- ma i-1fn certain individuals, causing temporary unsettlement of values; but in the long run it is going to be highly beneficial to have our great business institutions conducted upon lines that are unQues- tionabie, whether from the ethical, le- gal or the economic standpoint. For this reason it is hardly prudent to an- ticipate any serious disaster from the forthcoming decisions of the Supreme Court There is no doubt but that the men who form that august body are better opponents of the law and better judges of public welfare than the managers of some of our large in- dustrial corporations who have often exploited their newly gained powers for purely selfish ends. The country and investors generally will profit if such operations are made increasingly difficult.
 Publicity would. as MT. Clews says, interfere with the plans of certain ndividuals"-that is. check speculative operations based upon inside and se- cret information. It would also show the actual profits of the heavier bene- ficiaries of high tariff duties. and fur nish strong arguments for the reduc- tion or repeal of unneeded protection. This would be an almost inestimable benefit to consumers. But the cor Torate opposition to publicity is so great. and the corporate control of Congress so absolute, that any suff1- cient information of corporate affairs cannot be expected unless a political revolution comes to the front.

deceased's failure to use due care con- tributed to the accient or not.
 "A charge in a prosecution against an automobile driver for negligent homicide, that he had the right to assume that deceased would use req sonable care to avoid danger, and that accused was not chargeable with ex- tra care until he saw that deceased was putting himself in a place of dan- ger was properly refused as invading the jury's province.
 5-One who, with a reckless dis ligently drives an automobile in a street as to cause the death of anoth- CT, is guilty of manslaughter.
 6.-That certain expressions in the charge Of the trial ju dge omit the legal tests to be applied by the jury in deciding whether negligence is criminal or not is not ground for re- visal, where the law is correctly given in other parts of the charge.
 against an automobile driver for negli- gence homicide, that no traveller has the right to assume at any time or under any conditions that others are not abroad as a justification for con- duct that would amount to reckless ness if he knew that another was ap- preaching, was not harmful as invad- ing the jury's province, where it was clear that under the circumstances the accused could not reasonably have as- hat there would be no one on the street.
 S.-where an automobile driver on trial for negligent homicide request ed the court to read to the jury cer- tain sections of the public. statutes forbidding excessive speed, and sta ting what shall be prima facie evidence thereof on the question of what was unlawful and dangerous speed, he coul not complain of the reading of section F, prescribing the drivers duty in passing one walking on the highway, as applicable to that ques- ton in case the jury found that ac- cused was passing the deceased.
 Questions on direct examination of an automobile driver on trial for neg ligent homicide as to whether he did his best to avoid the accident are ob- jectionable as calling for an opinion.

THE LAW OF THE ROAD
How Supreme Court Inter- Drets it for Automobiles

The flaw of the road'' interpreted in it's latter-day application to the automobile driver, is the burden of the opinion of the Supreme Court of Errors, in deciding the case of the State against Samuel E. Campbell who was convicted in the Superior Court for manslaughter in running down and killing Rev. George Brinley Morgan, rector of Christ church, New Haven, Nov. 14 last.
 Judge Hall, writing the opinion for the Supreme Court, makes the follow ing the salient points:
 1.-To sustain a charge of homi- eide the State must prove that death ensued as a direct result of defen- dant's negligence.
 2.-In a prosecution for homicide the deceased's conduct is material only as it bears on the question of de- fendant's negligence.
 3.-Homicide caused by culpable negligence is manslaughter, whether

AS has been said, while Frederick
G. Fleetwood of Morrisville lost in his
fight for the nomination for governor,
he has lost nothing in the esteem and
goodwill of the people of Vermont.
He entered the race, fought and>went
down to defeat like the true man, and
while some of his supporters may
have been unduly bitter in their OPP
position to another candidate, the
Monitor believes Mr.. Fleetwood per :
sonally has put up most admirable
fight. Had some of his supporters put
the strength into the campaign that
they spent in denouncing others, Mr..
FIeetwood's vote in the convention
would have been greater. Our best
wishes to the man with the smile from
Morrisville.
