GARBER, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1905.
VOL. VI. NO 37
Oo"ntry for Eailways or People.
1 think it lias been a great mistake
to act on the theory which has shaped
most of our legislation, national and
state, for the last thirty years, that it
is possible to forbid combinations and
to restore business according to aud
under conditions which have absolute-
ly passed away. What we can have
done is to put an efficient supervision
over the owner of the combinations
so as to see as far as possible that they
are employed in the interest of and not
against the interest of the genera'i pub-
lic. 1 do not believe that such super-
vision can come effectively through bates,
the state. 1 trust that in the end
means will be found by which the ex-
ercise of such control will be lodged in
the hands of the national government.
As the first step I hope to see the pas-
sage of legislation which will give sup-
ervision of the railways and the power
when a rate is complained of as im-
proper and unjust, to examine that
rate aud to change it to a given rate,
aud to have that given rate take pract-
ically immediaie effect.
Resolutions have been passed by
very important bodies demanding the
investigation of what ifc called the
beef trust and of the Standard Oil
company. The beef trust had to be
investigated partly by the department
Of justice acting through the district
attorney can collect legal evidence
which will show that there had been
wilful and intentional violation of the
law by any man, no matter how high
he stands socially and Huaucially, he
will be indicted and it po.ssittile convict
ed. If he does not secure such legal
evidence no amount of popular feeling
is to be allowed to be submitted for
the legal evidence. So in investigat-
ing the beef trust and the Standard
Oil company I have been content to
leave it absolutely in the hands of Mr.
Garfield, been use I knew that he was
as incapable of being swayed by pop-
ular demand ou the one hand as by
any sympathy on tha other.—Roose-
velt,
The President has once more flown
in the face of public opinion by ap-
pointing Assistant Secretary of State
Loomis a special ambassador to re-
ceive Paul Jones' body and charging
him with the delicate task of investi-
gating American diplomatic posts in
Europe. Iteviewing in the kindliest
possible terms, Mr. Loomis' conduct
hs Minister to Venezuela, Secretary
Taft said ' Ilut in the very great satia-
faction which we find in his (Loomis')
[complete exculpation from all charges
■ of dishonesty we cannot be blind to
I the fact that his failure to hold him-
self utterly aloof from auy participat-
ion in plans for investment and ex
ploitation have possibly lent color to
the aspersions upon his character. I
sincerely trust that, his bitter experien-
ce in this case makes it unnecessary
further to point the moral that one
who occupies the position of Minister
of the United States cannot, afford in
any country to which he is credited,
in which business enterprises must be
more or less affected by Government
favor and concession, to make personal
investments of any sort or leave the
slightest doubt as to the absence of all
peasonal interest in any matters which
he may bring before the Government
to which he is accredited." In the light
of Secretary Taft's criticism, the Presi-
dent can hardly expect to escape severe
criticism for the new Loomis appoint-
ment not only from his political oppo-
nents but even from his friends.
Peoole Only Waiit Justice.
As was expected President Roose-
velt is being quite generally criticised
by the partisan press of the country
for his action in the Santa Fe rebate
case, with which the name of Paul
Morton, secretary of navy has been
connected. Yet to all fair minded
people the president's course seems
wise, impartial, fair, just and in line
with the intention of the law.
The president himself, in his last
message to congress, pointed out in
strong terms the menace to American
enterprise in the system of secret re
He recommended legislation
that would stop the evil. His course
in relation to railroad legislation
throughout has not only had the en-
dorsement of the large majority of his
own partp, but is commended by many
of those with the opposition. His
stand is firm, yet his object has never
been revenge, and he does not desire
legislation or the enforcement of the
laws now on the statute books for re-
venge for infringements in the past.
His whole scheme is corrective. His
desire is to put an end to the evil
sjstem rather than to punish.
To prosecute Paul Morton when
there is not the least bit of evidence ag-
ainst him individually, would savor too
much of the spirit of hatred, and for
this reason would militate against the
very motives that lead to the prose-
cution of the railroad—the desire to
disstoy the unwholesome rebate sys-
tem. In their fight against the secret
rebate the right is on the side of the
people, and under the skillful guidance
of I resident Roosevelt they are rapid-
ly winning out. Injustice cannot help
them. Wrong is uo excuse for wrong
To punish a person against whom
tfiere is no evidenee, would injure,
rather than help the cause of the
people. They favor only justice and a
"square deal". Should evidence a-
gainst Paul Morton be found they will
expect his prosecution, .but until such
evidence is found, they like the presi-
dent, believe action against him would
be uu warren ted aud unjust—Okla-
homa State Capital.
Last Wednesday the drill reached a
depth of 850 feet and needed casing.
The drillers recomended that a Btrong
steel shoe be sent for to prevent the
possible crushing of the end of the
casing upon which the whole weight of
the string of casing must rest. B. A.
Garber immediately wired for the shoe
which he secured at Covington. Thurs-
day and Thursday noon a crew of men
were hired to assist the drillers in plac-
ing it in the well. Wheu the bottom
of the hole was nearly reached it was
discovered that by a miscount they
had not the required amount to reach
the bottom and a few additional joints
was telegraphed for. If a supply store
as as handy, as in an oil Held, there
would be little if any delay but no
supervision, however complexed or
cosily, can guard against conditions
that will be continually causing expen-
se aud delay.
Pending the navy maneuvers iu
Chesapeake bay all the Japanese serv-
ants employed by officers have been
removed from the warships. It has
been found that Japanese students of
high standing have obtained positions
in the navies of European nations to
lenrn war secrets. Admiral Evans met
iu Asia the commander of a Japanese |
warship whom he recognized as hav-
ing been at oue time the admiral's cab-
in boy. All Japanese servants have
been ordered off the warships wlnla
they are in action for fear the Japs
will take advantage of the inform-
ation they secure.
A new York newspaper shows that
a large number ol American women
who have married titled foreigners
have become the mothers of twins.
This affords a rational and effective
method of breaking up the custom of
foreign marriages. Let the news be
widely circulated.
