This issue of the Review includes in "Missouriana" his review of Schoolcraft's Scenes and Adventures in the .... Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas. ATTORNEY GENERAL HERBERT S. HADLEY Versus THE STANDARD OIL TRUST BY HAZEL TUTT LONG One of the most engaging figures in American public life thirty years ago was Herbert S. Hadley. As attorney general of Missouri from 1905-1909, he first gained wide recognition by his public-spirited and fearless work in the prosecution of the Standard oil company and other trusts or combinations for violation of the anti-trust laws of the State. Later, while serving from 1909 to 1913 as the first Repub­ lican governor of Missouri since 1872, he became even more widely known for his high standards and his progressive leadership. There is a difference of opinion as to which point in Hadley's career was the peak. Certainly he reached a very high level in popularity and service when he was attorney general of Missouri—a level which he exceeded in turn in his work as floor leader of the Roosevelt delegation at the Repub­ lican national convention of 1912. His lack of robust health and a rugged constitution was not the least of a combination of circumstances which kept him from the presidency of the United States. His personal fitness for that office was never seriously questioned. The story of the successful prosecution of the Standard oil company by this daring young attorney general of Mis­ souri reads like a fairy tale. It was in 1904 that Missouri as the ''Mysterious Stranger" left the solid South and joined the Republican ranks. The election returns of 1904 showed the Democratic party in Missouri defeated on the national ticket for the first time since 1868. Republican candidates won in all the State adminis­ trative offices with the exception of the Republican nominee for governor, who was defeated by the Democrat, Joseph W. Folk. Herbert S. Hadley became the new attorney general. (171) 172 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW At that time, there were various industrial corporations and combinations of unusual size and influence which were practicing monopolistic methods to the extent of being detri­ mental to the public good. Attorney General Hadley deter­ mined to force these organizations into line with strict obedi­ ence to the law of Missouri.1 This determination was in accord with his fundamental political philosophy. He held the firm belief that the American government is a govern­ ment of laws and not of men, and that no man is above the law.2 He considered the people of Missouri his clients and often referred to them as such.3 One of the main policies of the Roosevelt administration, at that period, was the vigorous enforcement of the federal anti-trust laws. Several state officials attempted to follow this national policy with differing degrees of enthusiasm, but it fell to Attorney General Hadley to begin the pioneer anti-trust proceedings against the Standard oil company of New Jersey and its subsidiaries.4 Within two months after taking office, Hadley launched proceedings against this huge trust which included among its subsidiaries, operating in Missouri, the Waters-Pierce oil company, the Standard oil company of Indiana, and the lThe Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of the State of Missouri, Vol. X, p. 6. 2In Memoriam: Herbert Spencer Hadley, 1872-1927, p. 12. (A pamphlet containing addresses made by former friends and members of the Kansas City bar association in the United States district courtroom in Kansas City, January 21, 1928.) As a part of his address, Judge Albert L. Reeves told the following story about Hadley. "On one occasion, while Attorney General, he arose to argue a constitu­ tional question in the State Supreme Court. Judge Lamm .... was the presiding judge. General Hadley indicated that for the benefit of the Court he would read the provision of the Constitution under observation. Where­ upon, Judge Lamm remarked that the Court was familiar with the Constitu­ tion. General Hadley quickly replied, 'Your Honor cannot be too familiar with it, so I will read it.' And he did." 3Haskell, Henry J., "The People, His Clients," in Outlook, Vol. LXXXVIII, No. 13 (March 28, 1908), p. 719. 4Morse, Sherman, "The Taming of Rogers," in American Magazine, Vol. LXII, No. 3 (July, 1906), pp. 227-31. Flynn, John T., God's Gold: The Story of Rockefeller and his Times, p. 437. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, October 19, 1905: An editorial declaring that if Hadley's course were followed in other states, emancipation from the trust would be easy. Jefferson City Tribune, January 31, 1906: Ohio and Texas officials conferred with Hadley relative to his Standard oil inquiry before beginning similar proceedings in their own states.

While in St. Louis conducting an inquiry on terminal charges, which had been authorized by the legislature, Hadley stumbled on information which had never come to his attention before. One of the witnesses was the manager of the Waters-Pierce oil company.5 In testifying as to the volume of the Waters-Pierce business handled by the St. Louis railroads, he mentioned that the Standard oil com­ pany had no agency in St. Louis.6 'Why is it," Hadley demanded, "that the Standard gives you no competition in this important field?" Even though the witness seemed to think there was noth­ ing strange about this fact, Hadley thought it odd7 and he con­ tinued his investigation so quietly that it was not generally known.
