the balance of power. Without the
Catholic vote separation would have
been defeated almost as decisively as
it was in 18*30, when the majority
against it was 5,200, or "n 1897, when
it was 4,500. The Catholics’ were
practically asked to choose between
the repentant church of Calvin,
saying: “My sister, give me the kiss
of peace and resume your place at
the table of the budget,” and the
Socialistic coalition, which whispered,
“Remember 1873.”
It chose the latter course, thus, in
its turn, showing the door to official
Protestantism and Catholic schisma
tism.

Independents See Opportunity Now.
Five simultaneous attacks upon
the Standard Oil Company, covering
practically ihe entire country be
tween the Atlantic Seaboard and the
Rocky Mountains, were ordered by
the independent oil men of Cleveland,
hastened by the enormous fine as
sessed against the big monopoly. The
campaign will be prosecuted under
the generalship of the National Pe
troleum Association.
On paper it will be against all the
railroads East and West. In reality
the objective is the Standard Oil
Company.
,Frcm the standpoint of the inde
pendent oil men of Cleveland the
most important part of this campaign
is that against the railroads operating
in the territory of the Central
Freight Association. The object of
this attack *s to obtain an average
reduction of 20 per cent in the’fates
on petroleum in the territory named.
F. \V. Boltz, traffic manager of the
Petroleum Association, sent a letter
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion asking for a hearing not later
than September 15, and the Cleveland
shippers will be represented there
by special counsel.

officials, anticipating the complaint,

up with earth.
Adam No Match for John D.
Without confusing his audience
with a bewildering array of figures,
Gov. A. B. Cummins, of lowa, an
nounced at Chicago in an address
before the Will County Chautauqua
Assembly the result of a problem he
has been working out.
“I.understand Mr. Rockefeller is
worth $100,000,000,” Gov. Cummings
said. “No honest man could have
saved such a sum in a life-time. Had
Adam started in on the $450-a-day
schedule, worked week days and Tils?)
Sundays, lived frugally, and denied
Eve a dress or bonnet of any kind,
he would be on a nearly equal finan
cial footing today with Rockefeller.”

STANDARD FACES POSSIBLE
FINES OF $114,760,000.
(Continued from Page One. )
Standard Oil Company, either under
that name or under the*name of one
or another of the dozens of companies
owned by it, is under indictment in
five Federal districts, namely, West
ern New York, Western District of
Louisiana, Eastern District of Missou
ri, W estern District of Tennessee and
Northern District of Illinois. There
are only fifteen indictments, but in
asmuch as each count covers a sepa
rate offense, the trust is liable under
the counts thus pending to fines
amounting to $114,760,000, which is
more than the capital stock of the
parent corporation.
Cases Under State Laws.
How many indictments have been
brought under State statutes cannot
be ascertained here, but it is believed
that the number runs up into the
hundreds.

“trust busting” proclivities, took in
to his cabinet as Attorney-General,
the official to enforce existing anti
trust laws, the notorious Phil. Knox,
who was attorney for J. P. Morgan
and the Steel Trust, when he was put
into the cabinet at Morgan’s sugges

the trust and the people, "which
trusts he protected by pigeon
holing the evidence against them;
and was only taken out of the cab

Pennsylvania R. R. Company because
they thought he could serve his coun

road rate legislation "which was sure
to come up in Congress.
Then when the Steel Trust attor

cabinet, he put in his place, to en
force anti-trust laws, one who has
several times declared in public that
it is impossible and useless to try to
curb the great trusts and corpora
