A SUNDAY SERMON
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man
bt^swift to hear, slow to speak, glow to wrath. James
Many distressing disturbances and incidents that
go to make up much of the unpleasantness of life are
due to hasty words and to impetuous wrath In fact
• "f the latter which is developed in the
world is due to the former. The power of sp-eeh is
a wonderful blessing that God has conferred upon
human beings but it can be abused just as it is pos-
sible to misuse the other blessings of mankind. Its
perversion is to be found in the intemperate and ill-
advised language which many are all too prone to
indulge in on every variety of occasions.
After a harsh word has been spoken, it can not be
recalled. It may be apologized for and a willing-
Bess displayed to withdraw it, but the sting that it
carried with il loses none of its force and sharpness
even if the individual at whom it was aimed or about
whom it was given, is perfectly willing to ignore it,
or generous enough to say or niukc believe that this
is so.
Of course there are hardly two temperaments
■ mong men whioli are exactly alike. If, needed,
Ibe structure of human beings as to their bodies and
Minds and inherent methods were all of the same
mold this would be a decidedly uninteresting
world. But there are a great many temperaments
(Which are similar in that their possessors are in-
clined to be quick to wrath. In fact this failing is
more general than otherwise. It is the cause „f
quarrels and disputes between persons of more and
less intensity, but none the less disagreeable ,,o
matter how slight they are.
There is consolation, though, in the thought or
knowledge that with the exercise of a little care and
caution such shortcomings as these may lie over-
in i r iii.iv In n ilin I'd in H minimum. This is juries owning impossihS
possibly through a proper appreciation of the rights [i„ these Pacific Slope rumors
o >< and their rights to their own opinions on we kIihII see
all things. There should be a careful weighing of
all words and thoughts before thev are uttered
This is no easy task, to be sure, but'the results that
are sure to be accomplished will be more than worth
the efforts Hint have been expended to bring them
about. As Solomon says in one place in his Pro-
verbs: "lie that is slow to wrath is of great under-
standing. but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth
follv."
If the men who are proposing the repeal imagine
they are striking at the Standard Oil Corn thev
are fooling themselves. The producer is tl„- one
who will suffer. Standard Oil can take care of it-
self, even t„ getting into Mexico, if neeessarv and
o giving the American producer less for his crude
That is where it will hurt the producer, lie is the
goat and will liave t„ carry the burden. Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia producers will suffer
ess than those of Oklahoma. Texas. Louisiana and
alifornia. but they will suffer enough They have
been pretty comfortable, if 0I1 pasv tlm.ot sin„„
Standard Oil filled the speculative market and tried
' KC all the good quality stuff, but it' this repeal
goes through their troubles are going begin
again. The priee of oil will hi' less, and the Pennsvl-
vania producer, with his small wells, can t stand
much reduction. Out in Oklahoma, where the pro-
ducer has been living on hope of better conditions
and better ,rices, he may as well ,,„it. Mexico can
drown bin. as effectively as he drowned his brother
in Kansas The Greasers have got ti:,. g, ods Thev
have a tariff of nearly $2 a barrel to protect them/'
It isn t polite to speak of our .Mexican neighbors
as Greasers," but there's no doubt as io their hav-
mp the goods such as the poods nr.'. The Vora
< ruz and Tamaulipas oil fields are larger than those
of 1 ennsylvania and West Virginia. Some of the
wells are good for 5,000 to 10.000 barrels a dav The
quality is not of the best, but may improve anv time
Oil has been struck in other states of Mexico in I
Coahuila and rhihuahua. for instance. Nobody1
knows how much there is of it down there still to be
discovered.
I'lie official announcement is that I-:. II. Harriman
Roes t„ Texas to camp out, fish, and enjoy himself.
One of the rumors in San Francisco is that lie has a
campaign on for the acquisition of the Mexician oil
fields now controlled by Sir Weetman I) Pearson
and his partners perhaps their railroad interests
down there, too—and the next month will see him
on the other side of the Rio Grande. Another ru
mor gives him the Standard Oil C'ompanv and Wil
1mm Randolph Hearst as allies in his ' campaign.
Here we quote a San Francisco newspaper:
When Harriman began to turn his attention to
the oil fields in Mexico along the Gulf littoral. W.
B. Hearst discovered oil in his immense holdings in
Chihuahua, which his father and former Gov'rnoi
Romunldo Pacheco obtained from President Diaz.
Pacheco sold out his interests some years after to
the Hearsts and the lands belong solely to W. R
Hearst, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst 's name not appearing in
the record. Harriman and Hearst have joined
hands in Chihuahua, and the former will assist in
constructing a railroad to the Mexican Central to
give an outlet to the Chihuahua oil fields. * • •
Harriman now is developing enormous oil fields in
the neighborhood of Tuxpan, on the Gulf. Experts
from Texas have been sent there and numerous drills
are being put down in the salt marshes. It is ex-
pected that the output will surpass in flow the best
wells in Texas.

CORPORATE CONTROL.
The action of the standard oil
pan.v In petitioning the Htato of Mis-
souri to betonie a partner In Its busl-
nesH in that state is remarkable.
Anion* other things, it Indicates that
this nvc(.t monopoly is never at the end
of its resources.
Mght between the State and the
Standard lias been long and determined.
When Mt. lindley, the young attorney
general, brought suit against the com
[any. m. Wns troated with scant cour
tesy. He was regarded as another o
,otlPr Une of trust "baiters" win
hoped io gain name and fame by twist
Ing the tail of the lion. But his per-
sisence his energy, and his abilitv bore
fruit. The standard was tlnally brought
to bay. It was ousted from the Stat
and t fire of Sl.'.o.ono imposed. The
'mpnny has a refinery at Kansas City
millions of dollars, and
throughout the Central
ruered there. It seemed al-
most Impossible that the State would
tell it to get out. Vet the courts have
but declared the law. The Standard
lias been proved to have formed
combination whl-h the state prohibit-
ed. and it has been proved to have used
its power to crush Independent oil com
panics and independent dealers. This is
the thing all the States say they have
been trving to suppress. Missouri has
shown that where there Is a will thert
Is a way.
Being caught, thrown, and branded,
as they say In the West, the Standard
is ready to Rlve up. It offers to form
a corporation in which the State shall
exercise control nf half the stock, shall
practically control the company's busl-
ss and sre that nothing contrary to
<• law is done. The Missouri Legisla-
ture is now In session, and it will be
interesting to see what It does with the
proposition. Nothing quite so far-
reaching in the matter of State regu-
