NEW YORK, Oct. l-When the hearing
Of the federal suit for the dissolution of
the Standard Oil company of New Jersey
was resumed today evidence was adduced
which Frank B. Kellogg, conducting tho
government's case, said he believes prove
the contention of the government that the
oil combine, through rt subsidiaries, the
Oalena Signal Oil company and the Wstcrs
Plerce.OII company, have a monopoly of
the railroad lubricating 01 business, and
that It not only charges an excessive price,
but that It discriminates, against certain
railroads In the price charged for Its prod
uct. Th Standard manufactures engine.
Valve, car and eoach all, and Mr. Kellogg
said he would show that It controlled tJ per
cent of the business. .
C. N. Btelnbrenner, auditor of the railway
department of the Oalena Signal Oil com
pany, was the first witneas called today.
He said thaOthb only companies he knew
which sold lubricating oils to railroads
were the Oalena Signal pil company and
the Waters-Plerco Oil company.
The Waters-Fierce company, he testified,
obtalna Its oil from the Oalena Signal Oil
company, which in turn aerures Its supply
from the Standard Oil., company at the
same price as It la sold to the railroads.
The Oalena Signal Oil company gets -no
refund. '
Mr. Kellogg then read a letter from
Charles Miller, president of the Oalena
Signal Oil company, written on February
IK, W06. to D. D. Marony, vice president of
the Pittsburg, Shawmtit ft Northern rail
mad. In which Mr. Miller stated that the

hard work, and the people who did that
work seemed themselvee uncouth and for
bidding to visitors who could not look be
low the surface. It Is curious and amusing
V think that even aa genuine a lover of
his kind, a man normally so free from na
tional prejudice as Charles Dickens, should
have selected tne region wnere we nre now
standing as the seat of his forlorn "Eden"
In Martin Chusslewlt. ' The country he so
bitterly assailed Is now ' one of the most
fertile, and productive' portlona of one of
the most fertile and productive agricultural
territories In all the world, and the dwell
ers In thla territory represent a higher av
erage of comfort. Intelligence, and sturdy
capacity for self-government than the peo
ple In any tract ot Ilk extent In any other
continent. The land teama with beauty
and fertility, and but a score of yeara after
Dicken wrote it was mown iu w a uui
ery and breeding ground of heroes, of
soldiers and statesmen of the highest rank,
while the . rugged wot,th ot the rank and
file of the citizenship rendered possible the
deeds of mighty men who led In council
ni in hut tie. This was the region that
brought forth mighty .Abraham" Lincoln,

' I commend a. careful' reading of Martin
Chusslewlt to the pessimists of today, to
the men who. Instead of fighting hard to
do away with abuses while at the same
time losing no Jot of. their buoyant hope
fulness for the country, Insist that all our
people, socially and . Industrially, In the
private,, .lives, no less than aa politicians,
newspaper men and business men, are at a
lower ebb ,Uian ever before. If ever any
on of you feels a little downcast over the
peculiarly gloomy view of the present
taken by eome well-jneanlng pessimist of
today, you will flnd'lt a real comfort to
read , Martin ChnssIeWll ' to see what a
well-meaning pessimist of the past thought
or our people sixty-five years ago, and
then think of tha extraordinary achieva-
mBt,. the .extraordinary gain, morally no
less tnan materially. , or, tnose sixiy-nve
years. Dickens cad bS read by Us now
with profit: Elijah Posram. Hannibal Choi-
loo, Jerfnrson Brick and Bcadder. have their
representatives today, plenty of them; and
the wise thing for Us to do la to recognise
that the are still types of evil In politics.
journalism, business. and private life and
to war against them witn all our Hearts.
But It I rank folly tit regard three as the
only, or the chief, types In our national
life. It was not ot much oonsequenoe
whether Dickens, made snoh. an error or
not. but it would be of great consequence
If we ourselves did, for a foolish pessimism
Is an even greater toe of healthy national
growth than a foolish1 optimism. It was
not that Dickens invented characters or
scenes that had no basis In fact; on the
contrary, what he said waa true aa far as
tt went. The trouble was that out of many
such half truths he made a picture which
as a whole was absurd, for often a half
truth la the most dangerous falsehood. It
would be simply silly to be angry over
Martin Chusslewlt; on the contrary, reud
It, be amused by It. profit by it, and don't
be misled by It. Keep a lively watch
agalast the present-day Pograms and
bricks; but, above all, dlatruat the man
who would persuade you to feel down
hearted about the country because of these
same Pograms and Bricks, past or present.
It would be foolish to Ignore their exist
ence or the existence of anything else that
Is bad In our national life, but it would be
even more foolish to Ignore the vaster
forces that tell for righteousness. Friends,
there I every reason why we ahould fight
whatever Is evil In the present. But there
Is also every reason why we should feel a
aturdv and confident hone for the future,
There are many wrongs to right; there are
many and powerful wrong-doera againat
whom to war, and It would be base to
shrink from the contest or to fail to wage
It with a high, a resolute will. But I am
sure that we ehall win In the contest, be
cause I know that the heart of our pePl
la anund. Our average men and women
are good men and women and this Is true
In all sectiona of our country and among
all clauses of our countrymen. There is
no other nation on earth with such vast
t n.hi I naouri or with such a htah
s'aadard of living and of industrial effi
ciency among ita workers. We have as a
naiinn an era of unexampled prosperity
ahead of us; we shall enjoy It and aur
I children will enjoy It after us. wis irena

not downward, and tula la the trend In
tha things of the soul as wen as in u
thing of. the body.
Advises Btaad Agalast Wroa.
Government In Its application Is often a
complicated and delicate work, but I the
principles of government are, after all.
fairly aimple. In a broad general way w
should apply In the affairs of ths national
administration, which deal with the Inter
ests ef all our eighty-odd millions of people,
just the same rules that are necessary In
getting on with our neighbors In our sev
eral neighborhoods; and the naion aa a
whole should show KibHtanttally the- same
qualities that we would expect an honorable
n an to show in dealing with hla follows.
To Illustrate this, eonslder for a moment
two phases of governmental action.
First as to International affairs. Ameng
your own neighbors, among your friends,
what I th attitude you like to see a man
take toward his fellows, th attitude you
wish each of your sons to taka wnsn he

lnatlon of readiness and ability to hold
his own If anyone tries to wrong hlnir
while at the sain time showing careful
regard not only for the rtghta but for tha
feelings of otljersT Of course It Is. Of
course th type of man whom we respect,
wtMm we are proud of If he la a kinsman,
whom we are glad to have aa a friend and
neighbor, la the man who Is aa milksop,
who im not afraid, who Will not tolerate
nor hesitate to reaent insult or Injury, but
who himself never tnftcta Insult or Injury,
Is kindly, good-natured, thoughtful of oth.
rrs' rights la short, a good man to do
business with or have live la th next house
or have aa a friend. On the other hand,
the inaa who larks any af those qualities
la aur le be objectionable. It a man is
afraid to hold Ma own. If n will submit ,
tamely to wrongdoing, lie la conteninllhle.
If he is a bully, an oppressor, a man who
wtnnga or Insults others, he Is even worse
and should he hunted out of the com
munity. Hut, on the Whole, the most con
temptible position that can possibly be as
sumed by any man im that of blustering,
of bragging, of Insulting or wronging other
people, while yet expecting to go through
life unchallenged, and being always willing
to hack down and accent humiliation if
readiness to make good la demanded.
VS ell, all this Is just as true of a nation
as of an Individual, and In dealing with
other nations we should act ss we expect
a man, w ho Is both game and decent to act
in private life. There are few things
cheaper and more objectionable, whether
on the part of the public man or of the
private man, on the part of a writer or ot
a speaker, an Individual or a group of In
dividuals, than a course of conduct which
la . Insulting or hurtful, Whether In speech
or act, to Individuals of another nation or
In th representatives of another nation or
to another nation Itself. Bui the policy
becomes Infamous from the standpoint of
the Interests of the 1'nlted (Mates whea It
Is combined with the refusal to take those
measure of preparation which can alone
secure us from aggression on the part of
others. The policy of "peace with insult"
Is the very worst policy upon which It Is
prtsslhle to embark, whether for a nation
or an Individual. To be rich, unarmed,
and yet insolent and aggressive. Is to court
well-nigh certain disaster. The only safe
and honorable rule or foreign policy for
the 1'nlted States Is to show Itself cour
teous toward other nations, scrupulous not
to Infringe upon their rights, and yet able
and ready to defend It own. This nation
on ,'"m of the most cordial good
will with all other nations. Let us make
It a prime object of our policy to preserve
these conditions. To do so It la necessary

enlisted men, yet It Is not necessary that
this army should be large as compared to
the armies of other great nations. But as
regards the navy all this Is different. We
have an enormous coaxt line, and our coast
line Is on two great oceans. To repel hos
tile attacks the fortifications, and not the
navy, must be used; hut the best way to
parry la to hit notfght can ever be won
except by hitting and we can only hit by
means of the navy. It Is utterly Impoa-
smie to improvise aven a makeshift navy
under the conditions of modern warfare.
Since the days ot Napoleon no war between
two great powers has lasted as long as It
would take to build a battleship, let alone
a fleet of battleships; and tt takes just as
ong to train the crew of a battleship as
it aons to nuua n; ana as regaras tne moat
Important thing of nil. the train in a of the
officers, tt takes much longer. The navy
must be built and an its training given in
time of peacS. When once war has broken
out It Is too late to do anything. We now
have a good navy, not yet large enough
for our needs, but of excellent material.
Where a navy is aa atrial) as ours, the car
dinal rule must be that the battleships
shall not he separated. This year I am
happy to say that weahall begin a conrae
which I hope will be steadily followed here
after, that, namely, of keeping the battle
ship fleet alternately In the Pacific and In
the Atlantic. Early in December the fleet

as much a-matter of pride and concern for
every man In the farthest Interior of .our
country as for every man on tha searoast.

Liberty for tfce lsaiTiansi. ,
So much for foreign wfTalrei. Now tor
a matter of domestio policy. Here In this
country we have founded a great federal
democratic republic. It is a government
by and for the people and therefore a
genuine democracy, and the theory of our
constitution Is that neighborhood
shall be left to deal with the things that
concern only ltaelf and which It can most
readily deal with; ao. that town, county,
olty and atate have their respective
spheres of duty, while the nation deal
with those matters which concern all-of

one "else; and yet. that ln the interest of
all there ahall be aufflclent power lodgsd
aomewhere to prevent wicked people from
trampling the weak under foot for their
own galn.-Our constant endeavor Is to
make a good working compromise whereby
we shall secure the full benefit of Individual
Initiative and responsibility, while at the
same time recognising that It la the func
tion of a wise government under modern
condltlona not merely to protect life and
property, but to foater the aoclal develop
ment of the people so far aa thla may be
don by maintaining and promoting juatlce,
honesty and equal rlghta. We believe In a
real, not a aham democracy. We believe
In democracy as regards political rlghta, as
regards education, and, finally, aa regards
condltlona. By democracy we understand
aecurlng, aa far aa It la humanly possible
to aacure It, equality of opportunity, equal.
Ity of the condltlona under which each
man la to show tha stuff that la in him
and to achieve th measure of success to
which his own force of mind and character
entitle him. Religiously this means that
each man ta to have tne rignt, unninaerea
by the state, to worship his Creator as his
conscience dictates, granting freely to oth
er the same freedom which he anka for
himself. Politically we can be said sub
stantially to have worked out our demo
cratic Ideals, and the same Is true,
thanka to the common schools. In educa
tional matters. But in Industry there has
not as yet been the governmental growth
neceasary In order to meet the tremendous
changes brought about In Industrial condl
tlona by steam and electricity. It I not In

' Our effort must be for a Just and
effective plan of action which, while
scrupulously safeguarding the rlghta of

a living. It la to the Interest of all of ua

The national government alone has suffi
ciently extensive power and jurisdiction to
exercise adequate control over the great
Interstate corporations. While this thor
ough supervision and control by the na
tional government Is desirable primarily in
the Interest of the people. It will also. 1
firmly believe, be to the benefit of those
corporations themselves which desire to be
honest and law-abiding. Only thus can W
put over these corporations one competent
and efficient sovereign the nation able
both to exact Justice from them and to ae
cure justice for them, so that they may
not be alternately pampered and oppressed.
The proposal need be dreaded only by
those corporations which do not wish to
obey the law or be controlled In Just fash
Ion, but prefer to take their chances under
the present lack of all system and to court
the chance of getting Improper favors as
offsetting the chance of being blackmailed

by these corporations which had thriven

ernmenta. Federal Ceatrol of Road.

In some such fashion as It Is now ex

On the contrary, the chancea for the

have anything but a beneficial effect upon
the permanent prosperity of the country;
and, aa a matter of fact, even as regarda
any temporary effect, I think that any
trouble Is due fundamentally not to the
fact that the national authorities have ills
covered and corrected certain abuses, but
to the fact that those abuses were here
to be discovered. I thlrlk that the ex

Ever Mhlftlasj Condltloas.
This Is a rapidly growing nation, on a
new continent, and in an era of new, com
plex and ever-shifting Conditions. Often it
Is necessary to devise new method of
meeting these new condition. We must re
gard the;paU but -we must, not JBegard ,pnly
the paet. We must also think of the fu
ture, and,' while We must learn by experi
ence, we cannot afford to pay heed mereiv
to tha teaching of experience. The great
preacher, Channlng, ln hla essay on "The
T'nion," spoke with fine Insight on this
very point. In commenting on the New
England statesman, Cabot, whom he
greatly admired, he said that nevertheless
''he had too much of the wisdom of ex-
ferience; he wanted what may be called
he wisdom of .hope." He then continued
In words which have a peculiar fitness for
the condltlona of today: "We anprehend
that- It la poaslbla to make experience too
much our guide. There are seasons In
human affalra. of inward. And outward
revolution.' when new depths seem to be
broken up ln the soul, when, -new wants are
unfolded in multitudes and a new and un
defined good .la thirsted fot. These are
period when 1 the prlnclplee''of experience
need to be modified, when hope and trust
and Instinct clalnv a share with prudence
In the guidanoe of affairs, when In truth
to dare la the highest wisdom."
These aentenoes should fee carefully pon
dered by those men, often very good men,
who forget that oopstructlre change offers
the best method of avoiding destructive
change, that reform' Is tha antidote to rev.
olutton and that social reform Is not the
precursor, but the preventive of socialism.
