Indications are that a big melon
cutting" by the Standard OH Co. OF
Kansas will take place as soon as
the managers of that company deem
the time opportune. Although 1t is
among the smaller of the Standard
Oil subsidiaries in point of capitali-
cation, it is one Of the biggest in
point of relative earnings With
only $1,O0O,0 900 stock, the company
earned $974.644 in 1905, or 97.46
per cent. Officials figures since then
are not available, but it is generally
believed by those informed on Stan
dard Oil affairs that, for the last
two years, the company has been
earning around 100 per cent annual
ly on its stock. No wonder It's
president can afford to be leading
reformer in the Kansas Progressive

v6ptIon this year shows that th'
Republican party a. II now exists Il
not q reactionary organization. While
there were, number OF pIanks tina
I should like to have seen adopted
particularly the plank declaring IL
favor OF direct primaries which
were not adopted. the platform, al
q whole. is the most progressive plat
form ever adopted by our party. Thai
platform declares in favor OF the
simplification of court procedure
and a simple and direct process for
removing judges who are derelict in
their duty; 1t declares in favor OF
laws regulating the hours OF labor
of women and children, OF laws pro-
noting public health, or workmen's
compensation laws, of laws prohibit
ing, directly or indirectly, contrt-
buttons by corporations to campaign
funs, and requiring the fullest pub
licity as to such contributions and
other campaign expenses both for
primaries and elections; 1t declares
in favor of the establishment of a
national trade commission, such as
has been advocated by Colonel Boose-
welt, for the regulation OF large
business enterprises engaged in in
terstate commerce, for the improve
ment of our rivers and harbors, for
the building of dikes for the pre-
vention of floods along the Mississ-
ippi, for the merchant marine, for
maintaining the efficiency of the
navy, for maintaining civil service
conservation of natural resources and
the reclamation of arid lands, par
cells post with graduated rates OF
transportation, improvement of our
banking and currency laws, anc an
acknowledgement Of the existence Of
import duties that are excessive and
a positive pledge TO reduce men,
These considerations in favor Of
remaining in the Republican party
are general and apply in the case Of
any member of the party. Speaking
from a personal standpoint, have
felt that, as the head of the Repub'
lican party in the fifth largest Re-
publican state in the Union, and the
largest Republican state west OF the
Mississippi, as the captain OF the
ship for the time being, should moi
be among the first to abandon it, and
that | should not abandon it at al
unless fully convinced that it Is go
ing down.
