CON'O
GOVERNMENT IS BIGGEST.
Throughout the I'nited Stut«-*
among the millions of people outald
of those who think In tune with tlock-
tickers, and those who do moat of
th'ir thinkliiK by proxy through lb"
mediuiuH of fiscal agenta in Wall
Street, the universal comment regard-
inn iliv supreme court's decision relai-
lng to the Standard Oil Com piny wu
optimistic over the fact that no mat-
ter how powerful the defendant, all
men and all cor|M>rationii are amend
able to law, and can be reached
through the Judiciary of this powerful
ration.
From Mercedes, Texas, the Eagle
has received the following letter from
O. Mulvey, former city engineer of
Wichita, who for many years had his
residence at Topeka avenue and Pine
street:
"In view of the recent decision of
the U. S. supreme court in the Stand
ard Oil case, please refer, If you have
not already done so, to an editorial
by M M. Murdock in the Daily Eagl *
of January 2 1906, of which I have
tnasured a copy, and you will find
some mighty interesting reading."
The late Ool. Murdock wrote at that
time as follows:
"The American people are now oon
fronted, and squarely, with the ques
tion of whether this is a government
along the ItnoB laid down by Lincoln
whether it Is a government by the
will of the majority, as expressed
through the ballot box, or In reality
and at bottom but a government of,
by and for money. Are our real rul-
ers but aggregation* of corporation
magnate, or the ones chosen by th«
people?
"That the Standard Oil company
and other corporations of vast wealth
have, through their agents, corrupted
of vnst wealth, defeated the enact-
ment of laws drawn up for the pio-
tection of the people, and forced the
passage of hills in the Interest of said
corporation and for their protection,
people have long since been convinc-
ed even previous to the recent stal-
ling life insurance disclosures Put
now comes the Standard Oil com-
pany, through one of Its hirelings,
with the Impudent declaration that
that corporation in owning congress
Is greater thnn the government, and
that John 1). Rockefeller is a bigger
man than the president of the Unite!
States. Whether Mr. Rockefeller
throws down the gauntlet, or whether
the words are hut those of a brassy
bicggart, is not known. One of the
I'nited States agents, who has been
investigating under the direction of
Mr. Garfield, was suddenly brought
up standing. the other day, by an of-
ficial of the Standard* Oil compan>
with the following amaslng threat,
coupled with the boast that that cor-
poration has no fear of this govern-
ment. Here is what he said. Read
It:
"We are bigg r than the govern-
ment. Standard Oil is stronger than
the I'nited States. We own .he sen
ate and the house. If you pursue
your investigation beyond the point
necessary to fool the public we will
have you removed. We can secure
the instant deposition of the secre-
tary of commerce and labor. Mr. Met-
calf, and the commissioner of corpo-
rations, Mr. Garfield. If you perse-
cute us in the slightest degree you
will be out of your Job, and if you
keep at the business you will find
that what we say Is absolutely true.
Rockefeller is a bigger man than
Roosevelt?
"Here you are not probably so un-
expected as surprising. Are not the
probabilities that there is too much
truth in this representative's declara-
tion? In the face of such a boast
the United States were arousing them
selves? Of the authenticity of the
utterances quoted there can be no
doubt. It was probably not author
lzed but It comes from and was made
by an official of the Standard Oil
company who believe that he kn< w
what he was talking about, whether
be was so instructed or not.

presidents this country has ever bad.

Washington. — William Jennings
llryan does not like the program of
his party in the house, and today he
criticised it as w« U as the Democrats
who have agreed to support the re-
vised tariff schedule on wool and
woolen Roods. The criticism was
contained in a statement made pub-
lic through Representative Harrisou
of New York.
Despite Mr. Bryan's stand, Chair-
man Underwood of the ways and
in* ans committee said tlie revised tar-
Iff would pass the caucus by a two-
thirds majority.
'•The Democratic voters," said Mr.
Bryan, "know that all needed revenue
can he raised in less oppressive ways
and they know the argument that the
tariff on wool Is proposed as a reve-
nue tariff Is merely a subterfuge em- j
ployed because those who employ it j
are ashamed to say they favor protec-
tion."
The Nebraskan warned against the '
drift of Democrats toward a protec-
tive policy which he said is most
marked In those Democrats who "have
among their constituents influential
beneficiaries of the system."

4 Good Time To install
That Gas Water Heater
is When You Clean House
The installation of a gas water heater
causes no confusion in your home ANY
TIME, but every spring house cleaning
ought to bring MORE than a cleaner home.
It ought to bring more home comlort.
Few things can bring more solid comfort to
the household than a GAS WATER
HEATER,
It means plenty of hot water for bath,
kitchen and laundry at a few minutes not-
ice.
Cost of installation is moderate; operation
is cheap.
Ask us to send you a New Business rep-
resentative to give you the details.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kulmer are re-
joicing over the arrival of a ten pound
baby girl.
We very deeply regret the fact that
Mrs. Sidney Clute Is no better today
and serious doubts are entertained of
her recovery, although she was seem-
ingly no worse at - o'clock this after-
noon. All that medical and surgical
science, and careful nursing can ac-
complish is being employed to save
her and we surely hope for their suc-
cess. The injuries she received were
considered very serious at the first
knowledge of their extent, yet hope
was at first entertained that she
might rally and finally recover and
we trust she may.
