Standard had made contracts with Its

tained all the crude oil supply and there
by had the refining field to itaelf. Mr.
Tilford raid he tied little knowledge of
these contracts. Referring to nil trade

west Mr. Tilford said the Standard never

but simply lowen-d rates to meet

Little Dealers Forced Out.
Mr. Archbold said th* establishment
of marketing stations to compete with
the rival* of th* fltandard naturally
forced amall dealers and Jobbers grad
ually from th* field.
Regarding th* fltandard Oil Company,
of Indiana. Mr. Arohbold said It was ori
ginally capitalised for $1,000,000 and had
borrowed large autna from other compa-
nb'H which It had paid out of earnings.

The effect of the cntnbllshment of those
marketing stations, was to reduce pries*
to th* consumer.
On cross-examination Mr. Kellogg de
veloped that the Continental OH Com
pany In 1901 made 111.10 per cent on tta
capital stock. The purpose of the gov
ernment Inquisitor was to show that the

NBW TORK. Dec. T.—Proeltfenl'
elect William H. Taft, vriio came to
Now York today to address ths North
Carolina floclety of this cKy, waa
given a tumultuous reception tonight
by the members of the organisation
and by prominent men of all parts
of the south at the annual dinner ol
the North Carolinians, at the Hotel
Astor. Five hundred members and
K ests of <the society Ailed the bril-
ntly decorated banquet hill, which
was redolent of the pines of the Tar
heel state, the cones and branches of
th* resinous trees forming tbk back
ground for more fragrant blooms
which were scattered everywhere over
snowy linens and fler-draped walls.
Intertwined ensigns of the state and
nation were conspicuous In the deco
rations of the banquet hall and larger'
flags were displayed in front of ths
hotel throughout the day and even
ing.
Mr. Taft, In the course of on ad
dress which was confined entirely to
the south and Its problsms. urged again
that the voters of south should
break away from th e outlived senti
ment and traditions of their past po
litical afrillaUons and cast their bal
lots In aooordance rather with their
economic and real political beliefs.
Taft Would Unify Sections.
Mr. Taft declared that nothing
would give him greater pride during
hla coming term In lh* chief executive
office than to so direct the policy of
tho national government with respect
to the southern states as to convince
the latelllgent dtlxeni of th* south of
tho desire of his admlnlatratlon to Md
them In working out satisfactorily the
serious problems before them and of
bringing them and their northern fel
low cltlxena closer and closer In sym
pathy and point of view.
At tho conclusion of practically
every on# of his pointed sentences Mr.
Taft waa Interrupted by applaus# and
cheering. He frankly expressed him
self regarding tho so-called “njgro
question.” and declared that neither ha
nor the Republican party had any Idea
of forcing upon the people of the south
the dominance of an Ignorant class.
Judge Taft’* Speech.
After paying a tribute to North
Carolina, which, he «a!d, presented an
admirable type of present conditions
in the south, the public spirit of Its
clttscns. progress of Its industries and
tho charming companionship which the
northerner always found there, the
speaker pointed out that the laws'were
made for the north and the aouth ana
tho functions of tho government ex
tended from tho CanMjIan border ti
the Gulf of Mexico, and led up to this
question:
"What ts It that sets the south' 1
apart and taken from the southern (peo
ple the responsibilities which the mem
bers of a republic ought to share In
respect to the conduct of the national
government?" He'continued: "Why
la It that what la done at Washing
ton seems to be tho work of ths north
and the west, and not of the south?
Should this atafe of affairs continue?
Theao are tho question that force
themselves on those of us ooncerncd ,
with the government, and who are i
most anxllus to have a solid, united j
country, of whose will the course of
tho government shall bo an Intelligent
Interpretation and expression. We
can answer these questions as the his
torian would and wo can explain tho
situation as It Is; but I do not think
w* can Justify or excuse a contin
uance of K. Looking back Into tho
past, of course, the explanation of tho
difference between the SQUth and the
other two sectllons was In th# In
stitution of slavery. It Is of no pur
pose to point out that early In the
history of tho country th# north was
os responsible for bringing slave* hero
as the south, because wo are not con
cerned with whose fault It waa that
there wa# such an Institution as slav
ery. Nor are we concerned with tho
probability that, had tho northerners
been Interested In slaves, they would
have Viewed the Institution exactly aa
the southerners view It, and would
have fourht to defend It, because It
was as sacred as the Institution of
private property Itself. It does not
help In th# slightest degree In th#
preaept day to stir up the embers of
the controversy of the past by attempt
ing to flx# th# blame on on# part of
the country or the other tn respect to
an Institution which has gone and hap
pily gone, on the one hand, or In re
spect to the consequences of that In
stitution whkh we still have with us
on the other. These consequences we
are to recorntte as a condition and
a fact and a problem for solution,
rather than as an occasion for crimi
nation or recrimination with respect to
whoee fault they may tnvolva.
