To Be Blown Out.

Stand abd Oil is not going to die, but will run under a sort of “gentleman’s agreement” instead of a tangible corporation.—Milwaukee Journal. The Standard Oil trust is to disband for the purpose of reorganizing upon a more enduring and grasping basis. Petroleum can never be made to smell sweet, no matter how great the skill of tho refiner.—Denver Times. If the Standard trust takes the course of returning the properties under it to their original independent control it can fairly claim to show a respect for the law in marked contrast to the other trusts that have imitated it. But if it m@,kes a distribution which maintains the joint control, It will seek to evade the law just as the others have done.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Of course this does not mean that the great Standard Oil combination is a thing of the past. It simply means that those concerned will have to consult their lawyers an 1 devise a now method of consolidation. It means a little extra work for the corporation lawyers and some temporary fluctuations in the rating of Standard oil and pipe line certificates, but it doesn’t concern the public" a little bit.—Brooklyn Times.
