Enforce Criminal Laws.
It seems to be pretty thorough'
ly established that fines and
chances of oharter annulments
have no terrors for the organiz-
ers and managers of trusts. The
federal government has been re-
luctant to enforce the criminal
clause of the Sherman act, ap-
parently in the hope that other
penalties might be sufficient.
Evidently President Roosevelt
has little faith in the corrective
powers of fines, which are mere
trifles in the day's work of a big
trust, or in the other lesser pen-
alties provided for in anti-trust
legislation - He is disposed to
enforce the criminal laws against
the flagrant and persistent offen-
ders.
To this end he has ordered the
prosecution of the packers for
contempt of court, and there is
reason to believe also, that if the
developments of the forthcoming
hearing before the federal grand
jury in Chicago furnish the nec-
essary evidence, he will proceed
against the food supply manipu-
lators under the criminal clause
of the Sherman act.
It might as well be understood
once for all, tbat\organized rob-
bery, unlawful rates and rebates,
and kindred abuses calculated to
enrich the organized capitalists
at the expense of the unorganized
investors and the general publio,
will not be discontinued until
some of the malefactors are
placed behind prison bars.—
Kansas City Times.
Merchants and Farmers,
Some of our merchants have
expressed the fear that the truck
association might injure their
business. Hers Is room for a lit-
tle thought Mr. Merchant. Our
farmers a s, as a rule, honest,
hard working people, and they
are striving for the same thing
you are—to make a living and if
possible, some extra money, and
to gain this end they are organiz-
ing and putting farming upon a
business basis, and the merchant
now muBt meet the farmer like
he would any other business man
i. e, by soliciting his trade and
selling him goods cheap, con-
tenting yourself with a reason-
able profit. The day is fast pass-
ing, we are proud to say, when
the farmer comes to the merchant
and begs him to sell him goods,
paying just any prioe that you
Bee fit to charge him.
Organization and diversfica'.ion
is making the farmer more in*
dependent. He is raising crops
that bring him in money all the
year, and now the merchant
must ask the farmer for his trad
must treat him right, help him
market his products, must meet
with him in conversation and ad
vise with him about what to raise
and how and where to market it,
a^tnless you do, you may find
Hostility to Standard Oil.
They are certainly making the
fight hot for the beloved Standard
Oil Company, says the Arkansas
Gazette.
1 The Kansas legislature has
passed a bill foi' thd establish-
ment of a state oil refinery to be
run with convict labo?; has pass-
ed a bill making oil pipe lines
oommon carriers in -order that
the Standard may not refuse to
carry oil to the state's refinery;
is about to pass a bill to prevent
the Standard from underselling
r local competitor with the object
of driving him out of business.
The lower house of the Illinois
legislature has adopted a resolu-
tion offering to lend Kansas
$100,000 without interest to aid
in the establishment of a state
oil refinery, and> a
refinery, and* a resolution
providing for investigating the
laying of pipe lines through1
Illinois by the Standard Oil Com
pany and for the appointment of
a joint committee to confer with
the Kansas officials with the pur-
pose of agreeing on steps to be
taken toward deciding oil pipe
lines common carriers
Colorado is talking about fol-
lowing the lead of Kaunas and
establishing r state oi! refinery.
Oklahoma ditto.
The federal government hss
ordered an investigation of the
operations of the Standard Oil
C jmpany in Kansas
A petition is boing circulate d
at Houston asking Congressman
Pinckney to request President
rtoosevelc to have the Kansas oil
investigation extended to the
Texas fields.
Mr. Rookfeller can comfort
himself with the reflection thst
everything is coming his way.
