Monopoly and extortion are twin osisters and go hand in hand. Extor tion may exist in some cases without monopoly, but monopoly rarely exists -without extortion. .Monopolies are as exacting as Shylock, it matters not what the eon . sequences are to the public, the pound of flesh must be paid and there is no - urt to decree that more not shall be taken and no blood shed. The Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Carnegies, the Goulds, and the Dukes .have taken what pleased them and there was no man to stay their hand air make them afraid. "The public 4Se damned" was the policy they pur sued relentlessly for years until the Sherman law was invoked to save the fwople from the grip of these arch conspirators who wrecked and de stroyed every business rival who dared to opose their nefarious and illi-gaA plans. v - These men may appear to be lib eral with churches and colleges, but they can afford to appear liberal frith their ill rotten gains wrested from the public by unfair and illegal methods. Liberal? Yes. liberal with other people's money, but cot so liberal, as the courts and the public have been . with the leading monopolies and their directors. They have taken advan- MATTER. Parcel post is GOVERN MENT OWNERSHIP of the express business. Parcel post enables the man to send that pair - of shoes for nine or ten cents. Parcel post enables the enterpris ing merchants to deal directly with every citizen in the United States. And parcel post very suddenly re vealed to the express, companies THE FACT THAT THEY COULD CUT THEIR PRICES IN TWO AND STILL MAKE MONEY. What parcel post did in the express business, government ownership can do in the gasoline business. The United States government owns great oil lands, vast resources that would k supply the nation with gasoline for an indefinite period. Those oil lands and that undevel oped gasoline supply BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES. The oil monopolists making all I United States that it ought to save its oil for later, while they make all they can. j The United States should immedi ; ately develop its oil lands, establish i its plants, supply gasoline first of all l to the navy and he army, then sell to the people not on a cut-throat basis not on a PROFITLESS basis, but in a way to show what the price of gasoline REALLY OUGHT TO EE. Before the automobile was in vented, Standard Oil found that it could sell gasoline very nicely for five or six cents a gallon and even less. Oil is cot exhausted, cut suddenly, because THE PEOPLE NEED IT, Standard Oil finds that it must charge for gasoline twenty-six cents, and thirty cents, and later on perhaps forty cents. SMALL FIRE LAST NIGHT. A fire on the secondfloor of the residence of Mayor James D. McNeill eaily last night did slight damage, the fire department quickly extin guishing the flames.

BASEBALL YESTERDAY; FAYETTEVILLE 5. ROSEBORO 4 In one of the most exciting games played here this season Fayetteville in the last half of the ninth came out victorious over Roseboro yesterday on the local grounds by the score of 6 to 4. It was a pitcher's duel be tween Lefty Melvin for Fayetteville! and Cooper for Roseboro. Both pitch-! ers were in good form and pitched winning ball, but Melvin getting the! best of the breaks won his game, j The credit for winning yesterday's j game belongs to Melvin and Fry. With the score tied in the ninth inn-! ing Fry batting for Melvin, came through with the hit that won the game, scoring Watson who had gone to second on a mis-cue from Rose- boro's left fielder. Hart and Tom- Let the government of the United . linson put up a good game for Fayet- States manufacture a few hundred million gallons of gasoline, announce itself in the business to stay, and make a specialty of distributing its gasoline where the prices are high est AND YOU WILL FIND THE STANDARD OIL AND THE LIT TLE INDEPENDENTS THAT MARCH BEHIND IT SUDDENLY ABLE TO CUT RATES MOST RE MARKABLY. It is undignified for a hundred mil lions of people to say to one individ ual or to one trust, "Wont you please be less unkind and treat us a little more gently?" t Common sense would say, "Be care ful how far you go, for we can do this thing for ourselves, and if we do that will be an end of your accu mulation of millions. Go ask the express companies, and learn wis dom." DYESTUFF MANUFACTURES SHOW BIG INCREASE Washington, May 5.
