The Standard Oil Trust does not se?m to mind being prosecuted as It hires its lawyers for a term of years and Rockefeller rather enjoys seeing them earn their money. * * * Arizona only cast 15 per cent of vote for joint statehood, so it is quite doubtful if all the Rough Hidgers fol lowed the president’s advice and it is certain that the cow boys did not like to be dictated to from Washington. • • • The New York Republicans will not have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving for all their tick et was defeated but Hughes and most of the leaders are afraid he will turn out to be a white elephant on their hands. • • • The wheat raisers are beginning to Inquire where the trust protecting tariff helps them with the price hovering around M cents a bushel in the local markets, but the Republi can standpaters have not vet dis covered a satisfactory answer. * * * The State bank of New York City doing business on the east side of that city has just paid a dividend of $900 a share on its $100,000 capital! zatlon. This beats the record of any national haul: and without the aid of government deposits free of In terest charges either. * * * The president has reprimanded Chief Moore, of the weather bureau for mixing up with the labor ques tion. If President Roosevelt would have tlie weather bureau investigat ed he would find other matters in such condition that would require more than a reprimand to straighten out. • * * The New Jersey legislature has only three Republican majority and the spoils, but Gov. Magoon is stand ing pat and declares he will let well enough alone for the present. Some of these Cuban patriots will soon have to go to work or take to the woods if the standpat issue is per sisted in. * * * Oklahoma and Indian Tenritory entirely repudiated the federal offi cials that have cursed them by elect ing nearly every Democratic candi date to the constitutional convention This almost assures a solid Demo cratic delegation to the next congress of two United States senators and five representatives.
