A Prosperous Business.

The treasurer of the Standard OH
Company sent out last week dividend
checks calling for a total payment
or 100000 for the second quarter
or the Year. In three months more
1t IL expected that 100000 more
will be paid to stockholders. this
being the last payment TO be made
by the old Standard Oil Company.
Under the decision of the supreme
court OF the United States, the present
organization must be broken up bv
November 10. The earning power OF
the company on It's capitalization of
xIoo.o 100000 has been enormous.
While It has not been thu policy Of
the management of tho Standard OIL
Company to take the public into It's
confidence. Yet, as the result OF tes-
timony taken in suit some years
ago and an investigation conducted
by the commissioner OF corporations,
Its earnings UP to 1905 are known,
For tho twenty-five years form the
organization OF the company to 1908
the average dividend rata was TWEEN
ty-four per cent. During the seven
years past It has paid its stockholders
an average OF 100000 a year.
Profits over and above the dividends
paid are not known except to a favor
ed few: but they are estimated to
have averaged about nifty per cent. of
the amount OF the annual dividends,
While the old company must be dts
solved, II II generally thought that
some plan will be devised whereby
the dividend checks will continue to
be- sent out, Tho lowest figures
rec ched by the stock during this year
is 645, while during 1919 the highest
point reached was $40 This Indicates
the faith OF the public in the ability
OF the reorganized company to con-
tinue to do business, and the prac-
teal certainty OF good. healthy divi-
dend payments In the future.-Chri s-

Be Just, Gentlemen!

To the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Virginia:
Conference.-The Straightout Demo-
Gratis of Norfolk county request you to
hear their plea contesting the result
OF the primary recently held In Norfolk
county. They advance good and sutfi-
cient reasons for you to incinine a fav-
orable ear to their petition.
An appeal from the county commit
tee must come to you in any event.
You have precedent to hear the case
without waiting for this formality
which in the very nature of things
is apt to be nothing more.
The petitioners show the compost
ton OF the body which Is scheduled
under the usual course of procedure
to hear their complaint and adjudi-
cate Its merits. Unless human nature
is radically different in Norfolk coun-
ty from what IT is elsewhere, only one
decision could be anticipated--the mat
ter is settled before trial.
No court so constituted would be
allowed to sit in any country of the
world at the trial of such A cause.
The record of Norfolk county does not
warrant the assumption that the coun-
~ committee will exhibit iHpartiality
which would be unanticipated in any
other political division.
The petitioners affirm that the cleo
ton machinery OF the county Is In
tbs. hands of certain Republican office
holders, and the same men dominate
the county Democratic committee, So
called.
1t is not just 10 compel the Straight
outs to waste their time and energies
In fighting their cause before this
committee. which they believe with
good reason. to be so biased by per-
sonal considerations az TO preclude an
honest and impartial Judgment.
II IN not fair to tho Democrats OF
this -sectteFs, or tho entire State, TO
delay a hearing In this matter until
after the senatorial primary. for. view
II as you gentlemen may, the two mat
tiers are not disassociated in the minds
Of tho people who recall other tn
stances when this Norfolk county COM
mittee was upheld.
The Htraightouts are not making any
threats nor indnlging In covert hints.
Thew arc satisfied that they have a
case which will win on Its merits
before any tribunal which Is not pre-
JUDGED. They ask speedy hearing,
and they are entitled to II,

PREDICT DOWNFALL
OF SENATOR BAILEY

AUSTIN. TEX. July 24--The poll
teal down fall OF Senator Bailey is
believed to be foreshadowed by the
outcome OF the State election.
The victory Of the vets by a small
majority places in the saddle new
political element In Texas. This ele-
ment is anti Bailey and IL Just as
strongly opposed to Gov. 0. r. Col
quit. Bailey has been prominently
identified with the saloon interests in
his political affiliations in the State
in the last three years and now they
have been shorn of their great power.
II Is considered practically certain
that former Gov. Campbell win enter
the race against Bailey.
