Editor Dally Ncbraskan, Lincoln, Neb.: Dear Sir In your Issue of Tuesday, May 5th. you accuse me of taking an unfair advantage of Nebraska, In our recent debate, by reason of my position as last speaker. Iet me assure you that your reporter did not understand things correctly. In regard to the Standard Oil chart, those present will remember that I objected to It because tho Standard Oil company was not strictly a manufacturing company, but also the sole owner of the pipe line, and a large producer of raw material. And the large profits are due to the power given by these things. These things are In the nature of a natural monopoly, and are not manufacturing processes, and the question was limited to manufacturing companies. This was why I said the Standard Oil company was not Included, properly. In the question. I did not say Nebraska had expressly agreed to exclude the Stand ard Oil company, but I did say the wotd "manufacturing" In the question ex cluded the elements on which the great power or the Standard Oil company was based You see, therefore, that In jour attack on me you did not state my position correctly. You are the one who has "garbled the facts." Your statement, further on. that I said Pro fessor Jenks did not have access to the fa ts gathered by the Industrial com mission, is not true. Here Is what I did say. I said that Professor Jenks' statements quoted by Nebraska from his book were based on the facts gath ered by the industrial commission In 1899 and published in the first volume of Its teport. and that later investiga tion, the results of which were given In volumes XIII and XIX. give new and additional Information which modified the conceptions of combina tions In short, that Professor .lenks' statements wore based on information given In the first volume of tho com mission's repoi ts: and not on that given In volumes XIII and XIX. Now tho fads bear out this statement. Profes sor Jenks' book was published early In 1900. probably being written In 1899. The (list volume of the Industrial com mission's report was published In 1900, being submitted to congress March 1, 1900. Therefore the statements of Jenks' book were based only on this information, and not on that In vol umes XIII and XIX, for volume XIII was submitted December 4, 1901, and volume XIX February 10. 1902 about a year after J'rofcssor Jenks' book was published. I said new Information was gained by these new investigations. In the ill st volume of the commission's icport only eleven combinations had been investigated When the final re port. olumo XDC, was made about two hundred combinations had been In tstigatod. Now, I think you will baldly claim that this further Investi gation was useless, or failed to gle new light on the tiust question; and this was what 1 claimed Now, is this garbling facts? Now, I cited state ments in an article of Professo Jenks. contained in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, which was published about a year after his book, and these state ments considerably modified his posi tion as given in his book, and they were, as I said, based on further In formation. This is what you call "garbling the facts." Of course I am aware that there Is a later edition of Professor Jenks' book, but the changes comprise additional chapters on com binations in Europe, federal legislation, and some plans of regulation. The body of the book you will find on com parison remains unchanged. I think when you charged me with imi Hill tic the facts and being unfair you did not have my position correctly before you. It was reported badly, and now since you understand it correctly, will you do me the justico of publish ing the true state of facts? Being misinformed was, I think, tne cause of our unwarranted attack on me. In several year& of debating experience I have never once been accused of un fairness, and If your paper circulated only where I am known, I should take no notice of tho attack on me. But the fact that your wenrasKan gora where I am not known, and since the attack reflects on my university, I deem f ! -I- H' 1' ! !' ! ! ! ! ',- ! THE P. D. SMITH COAL CO.

Once a lad for Just a hoax Determined lie would play some joax, Plainly unwise. So learned to swear, then lie smoax, Without the knowledge of his foax, And tells some lies. And 'mongst the boys began his croax Until by boasting, them provoax With quick surprise v To land on him with sudden poax, And also stop his wind with choax, And black his oyes. At last tho youth began to coax, Then all the fellows he invoax With pleading cries; 'Til he falls into hysterix Which winds him up In such a fix He swoons and dies. B. A.
