ruption and lodge it in the people
to whom it rightly belongs, they will
become his staunch supporters.
In spite of bitter denunciation and
calumniation, the people will come
to understand him before the No
vember election.
When Ben Lindsey first agitated
the question of a juvenile court in
Colorado his political enemies pro-
nounced him crazy. When he ac-
complished it and the beneficent re-
suits were beyond dispute they called
him demagogue and grand-stander.
The slander grew not out of what he
advocated but what he condemned.
The talons of big business were sunk
deep in the political fabric of the
state and favoritism and corruption
ran riot He realized the impossi-
bility of good state and city govern
ment unless political corruption
could be shorn of power He made
it his business to help with the shear
ing. 1t took years for Ben Lindsey
to establish himself in the confidence
of the people because of the false
charges continually lodged against
him. But he has proven true and
the people have come to know him.
He is staunch friend and supporter
of Mr.. Roosevelt and the strong tie
that binds them is a knowledge of
the extreme methods used by corrupt
influences when they are attacked.
1t may be confidently expected that
the coming campaign will be the bit
terest ever waged in the United
States. Privilege does not yield
without struggle to the last ditch.
Roosevelt is an enemy to corruption.
He has proven himself. The vilest
calumniation that has ever been
heaped upon a candidate for the pres
idency will be his portion. But the
people will not be deceived. They
are already catching a glimpse of
the horns and hoofs of the beast that
is fighting for life.

WATERS. PlERCE
co. SQUEEZED
ATTORNEYS SHOW UP ALLEGED
SECRET METHODS OF THE
STANDARD OIL.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-Attorneys for
II. Clay Pierce and associates reveal.
cd in the federal district court here
today secrets of the Standard OILS
alleged domination of the Waters
Pierce Oil Co. The statements were
1aade during an argument for the de-
Tense in Henry M Tilford's suit to
GUST Pierce and other officers Of the
Pierce company.
Attorneys for Pierce declared dur
ing argument that one of the peculiar
features of the relations of the
Standard and the Pierce companies
was that the Standard did not permit
the St. Louis company to own re-
finery in the United States, thereby
compelling it to purchase it's refined
oil from the Standard company.
Attorneys also told the court the
Standard compelled the Pierce COM
rany to reduce its price to the re-
tail trade without itself suffering
loss. The Standard, they told the
court, made itself profit out of the
price the Pierce company was COM
lelled to pay for its refined product.
The Pierce company was permit
ted to operate refinery in Mexico,
according to the attorneys, but the
product of that refinery was not sufi-
cient tosupply more than the Next
can trade.
One of the contentious of Tilford in
charging mismanagement of the Wa
ters-Pierce company by Pierce was
that the company had built a refinery
in Oklahoma. The building of this
refinery, according to the attorneys,
was necessary for the Pierce compa-
ny to get out of the clutches" Of the
Standard company.

the Merchants Association for the
publication of the Hudson and the
problem of the Passaic Valley sewer
probably will be settled In a similar
way. Mr.. Bigelow, who has protest
ed for thirty years against the pollu-

PRIMARY FIGHT IN
KANSAS MAY GO TO
SUPREME COURT
suPPoRTERs OF TAFT WANTED
RECENT COURT DECISION
REVIEWED.
The PLAN OF REDRES!
Taft Men Seek Out Justice and
Get Him to Issue Restraining Or
der-Noth1ng Like 1t Before In the
Sunflower State.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Repcrts
from Topeka that supporters of Pres
ident Taft in Kansas, among them
David w. Mulyane, plan to have the
supreme court of the United States
review the decision Of the supreme
court of Kansas In the presidential
case, have aroused interest of re.
publican political leaders here Of all
factions.
Friends OF Colonel Roosevelt, par
ticularly Senator Bristow, of Kan
sas, are watching for developments
in the case and keeping keen look
out for the arrival Of legal represen-
tatives Of the Taft champions in
Kansas who may be coming to seek
from some justice of the supreme
court an order directing that the
case be reviewed.
The supreme court of Kansas de-
cided it would not enjoin county
clerks from printing on the primary
ballot of August under the name
of republican party" the names of
men who had declared they would
vote for Roosevelt
It is believed here that instead Of
coming to Washington the Kansas
attorneys would go direct to JUS
tice of the court, all of whom are
away from the capital.
Any member Of the court has the
rower to issue an order requiring
the Kansas supreme court to send
the case up for review and to grant
a restraining order to prevent the
names being printed on the ballot
until the supreme court of the
United States has passed on the call
Justice vandeventer, assigned to the
circuit in which Kansas is located,
is spending his vacation in the noun
tains of New Hampshire. Justice
Day, now at Mackinaw, is the nearest
of any of the justices in Kansas.
While the justice might feel him
self empowered to issue an order for
the review, members Of the court
lately have hesitated to take that re-
sponsibility where momentous ques-
tions delicately balanced were involv-
cd. Chief Justice White referred the
question to the entire court when an
application for similar relief was
made in the beef trust" case last
winter. Such action would be equiv
alent to a denial of the application
in this case, it is pointed out, as the
primary would be over before the
court could act in October, its next
date Of meeting.
Never has a case similar to that
which has arisen in Kansas been be-
fore the supreme court. The last
time the court was called upon to
pass upon a contest over presidential
electors was in 1892, when bitter
controversy over the manner Of Sc
lecting electors came up for decis-
ion. There an order of review was
granted and by advancing the case
for consideration on the first day of
the October term the court disposed
of the case before the November cleo
ton.
