A IWPEFUL 'BEGIKiVlfni.
Justice at least a measure of
it has at lasi. overtaken the
Standard Oil Company." When
it accepted from the Chicago and
Alton Railroad a freight rate
just one-third of the published
rate it was simply pursuing the
methods it has followed from the
beginning ot its career. It was
mainly by secret special rates
and rebates that the Standard
Company was enabled to compel
all ot ler producers of eith
crude or refined oil to quit busi
ness or to sell out to the Standard
on such terms as it chose
make.
to
. For years the independent
operators had fruitlessly appeal
ed to the transportation compan
ies for a fair and open rate on
their product. The legislature
was appealed to and laws were
enacted which,' it was hoped
would compel the railways to
cease making secret rates and
giving rebates. Much , tedious
and expensive litigation folbw
ed; laws were found defective
and unconstitutional. The people
amended the constitution of the
state so that it in express terms
forbade such practices- The
railroad companies became
"Brood" for several years. The
operators, driven to find cheaper
transportation had built a pipe
line which enabled them to avoid
the excessive rates exacted by
the railroads. It was not long
until the Standard had come in
to full control of this line arid
ever since then that company has
practically controlled the trans
portation of oil. , . ;
It is a hopeful and reassur
ing sign that however great and
powerful a monopoly may ; be
come, that however long it has
defied the laws and robbed the
people justice will yec overtake
it. ' :
The fine imposed by ! Judge
Landis, 21) 2 10, 000, .is the maxi
mum sum the company could be
assessed under the indictment in
the case, and while it is a heavy
penalty the Standard Company
can easily pay it. It is proba
ble, however, that an appeal will
be taken though it is difficult
to see on what grounds it can be
based. The whole defense rest
ed on the plea that an agent of
the Alton railroad company had
lei them to believe they were
given the open rate. Such a
plea is puerile, pitiful and aburd.
The judge brushed it aside, and
carefully analyzing the whole
case, imposed the maximum fine.
The government will now
prosecute the Chicago and Alton
Railroad, which is equally as
guilty in making a secret rate as
the Standard Company is in ac
cepting it.
The people are aroused and are
determined that the malevolent
influence of groat corporations
shall he destroyed and they com
pelled to obey the laws. It will
be done though it involve their
dissolution and prison cell for
those who organize and direct
them. Let the good work go en.
POWER OF SENTIMENT.
That men are actuated by
sentiment rather than reason
sounds like a mere platitude, yet
it is a sober truth. This might
not be deplorable if sentiment
were al ways a rational product.
Uen miajht then fail to reason
until sentiment were formed and
at once give themselves up to be
guided by it and no great harm
would be done. But., much of
sentiment is not rational, but
silly, absurd and wholly false,
yet so plausible, so specious that
multitudes are deceived and m:s-
led. It is this subtile quality of
sentiment which makes it so diffi
cult for man to distinguish right,
true, noble sentiment 'from that
which is wrong, false and de
basing. t " -
Even right sentiment should
not be followed when it leads to
irrational action. The federal
troops that quietly refused again
to charge the confederate works
at Cold Harbor after one most
bloody repulse were tried vet
erans who held the fine senti
ments of honor, fidelity, patriot
ism, courage and obediencejbe
yond price, but they would not
permit even these to lure ; them
to irrational action and its
fearful consequences.
Human history is red with the
blood of great multitudes who
have been slain at the behest of
false, unreasonable andunreason
ing sentiment. In spite roi this
never were grater numbers of
men dominated or in danger of
being dominated by false and
pernicious . sentiment , than at
present..., ... ,
Demagogues-creatures : ; to
whom the false; sentiments of
men bring food and - raiment and
fatness were ' never before so
active.' They have mvadedthe
church, the press and education
al halls.' They pr4te of righteous
ness, oi human liberty, oj justice
and ... equity, of. wealth . ; and
poverty, , of capital and labor,
and a , multitude of things, con
cerning which they , have but
little or ho accurate knowledge.
1 hey need none. 1 heir purpose
is to mass men around some per
nicious seniment' and to persuade
them to be guided and dominat
ed by it. Beware of such, crea
tures. As safe and rational
would be the advice and councils
of men who would persuade us
that dynamite may be carelessly
handled with impunity. : This is
not more eertain to bring iis in-
jury and death than that to lure
us on to fearful ' suffering and
ultimate destruction; for hp real,
enduring good can 'icome1 by the
sway of false sentiment.'

fining the Standard Oil Company

Third. Apply whiskey. This proves
that Chi-Namel will stand upon bar tops. :
Fourth. Allow a can of the ramish
to staad opgn over night, and note that
there is no evaporation. This proves
that Chi-Namel contains no beozina. ;
fif tb. Spread varaish over flat sur
face, and brush in every direction, and
note "self levelling" effect. This proves
that all brush marks disappear, and the
result will be pleasing no matter how

I P-W ItVy
Women Who Wear WeJL
It is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the . shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal wiih
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of it3
fairness.
