Evolution of PAS Pants,

A Storm Threatened,

The effort now being made by Attor-
ney General Monet to enforce the an
ti-trust law and drive the Standard
Oil Company from the state is raising
a storm OF indignation throughout the
Northern part of Ohio, which is taking
the form OF indignation meetings in
some sections and vigorous protests
from all.
month goes into the pockets of the
employees OF the company, and Of the
farmers whose lands are being oper-
ated by the company. Oil underlies
that territory, and capital is required
to develop it. The Standard puts up
the money, and the work is done. 1t
pays good wages, in cash, to its en-
ployes, and a satisfactory bonus to
land owners. 1t Is great business,
and it's development means millions of
dollars annually to the people OF
Northwestern Ohio.
Toledo has felt the beneficial effect
of the development Of this oil field,
and each month thousands of dollars
are spent in this city by oil operators
and employees and by owners of oil
lands.
The effort to stop further operations
of the Standard is a blow at the pros
perity of this section of the state, and
it is little wonder that the people are
indignant at the course taken by the
a,orney general-Toledo Blade.

A Lesson In Patriotism,

Admiral Schley is good American,
but poor kind Of politician, accord
ing to his own statement, made when
the news of the election was told him.
This is the way he expressed his sem
timents, and they are quite as posi-
tive as his actions in the neighborhood
of Santiago on that eventful July
morning:
II am delighted with the result all
over the country. l am particularly
pleased with the victory OF Colonel
Roosevelt in New York State. have
known the Colonel personally and we'll
and can only repeat how grateful
am at his success. Who accused me
of being Democrat? ! am not Dem
ocrat, neither am / Republican.
Why, l have only voted once in my
life. My politics is my country Ny
first, highest and best duty is to the
administration.
There is an exhibition of genuine
patriotism in the closing sentence and
is worthy of imitation. There is a
tendency to disobey Scriptural injunc-
tions when abuse is heaped upon those
in authority. The offenders should
recall the words of Paul, when he was
called to task for speaking slightingly
of the High Priest. He said Il wist
not, brethren, that he was the High
Priest, for it is written, Thou shalt
not speak evil of the ruler of thy peo-
ple."
Admiral Schley well says, my first
duty is to the administration. 1t is
not an inference to be made that the
rulers are to be commended for every
act, nor should reproof be withheld
If they are morally unclean. But as
rulers, whether of city, State or Ma
tion, they should be respectfully
treated. Their policy is open for dis
cussion at all times and they may err
in judgment, but for all that they
should not be spoken evil of. The
President of the United States and all
others in authority are entitled to re-
spect. To withhold it is unscriptural,
and ungentlemanly, besides.-Com-
mercial Tribune.

Ban of Masonry.

Roman Catholics in Chicago who
were virtually communicated some
years ago because of the papal decree
forbidding them to belong to secret
societies rejoiced yesterday when they
learned that the ban had practically
been taken off. The decree just issued
from Rome permitting the interment
Of Roman Catholics in consecrated
ground, though they belong to secret
societies, and particularly to the Ma
sonic order, is considered to be as
sweeping as the original decree ex-
communicating those who did not re-
sign from such orders and organiza-
tions. 1t nullifies the drastic decree of
seven years ago, and it is claimed will
reconcile hundreds of Roman Catho-
lies to the church who were banned
because of their affiliations with the
Free Masons.
Among many Roman Catholics the
decree means another triumph for the
liberal school of American Catholic
ism, in that the Italian clerics who
have hitherto controlled affairs in the
Vatican have at last recognized diff
ferent condition in the church in the
Western Hemisphere than obtains in
the continent of Europe.
The decree regarding those who are
members of the Masonic and other or
ders caused heartburning and bitter
sorrow among many faithful Catholics
who believed in the Masonic organiza-
tion, the Knights of Pythias and 9TH
ers, because of their benefit attach
ments.
To a Roman Catholic the new de-
cree is just as sweeping as the one it
virtually wipes out of existence. The
new decree allows priest to officiate
at the burial and permits the interment
of a Roman Catholic Mason or knight
Of Pythias in consecrated ground.
The only provision made is that the
deceased must not have been openly
hostile to the church, and that he
must have expressed at some time,
even II indirectly, willingness to be-
come reconciled to the church. This
concession means everything to the
families OF the men who thought it
was consistent with their faith to be-
long to such orders, notwithstanding
the original drastic decree. 1t is said
it will heal many painful wounds and
will have a great effect in preventig
bitter feeling and dissension. If de-
ceased Catholic who belonged to a Sc
Get order may be buried in consecrat-
ed ground, it is contended that the
church will open its doors to him be-
fore he dies and that he will no longer
be banned and refused the rights Of
the church, even though he does not
give up his membership in the order
to which he belongs
Some months ago the telegraphic
dispatches from Atome noted that a
fight was being made against the
spirit Of Catholicism in the United |
States, 1t is now believed that the |
fight was waged over the secret society
question, and that the issuance of the |
recent decree was a triumph for Arch
bishop Ireland. To Roman Catholics
In Chicago the decree is an acknowl-
edgment that a mistake was made
when the former decree, directed
against the American Catholics, was
promulgated.-Chicago Times-Herald.

properly equip our Atlantic squadron is
the torpedo bot destroyer, often for the
sake Of brevity called the destroyer. With
torpedo boats we are familiar, but with
with the destroyer. a type heretofore IN
known 10 our navy, We are not.
From the name torpedo boat destroyer
the principal functions expected from the

object in view in constructing the destroy
er was to provide seagoing fleets with the
means OF annihilating torpedo boats and
rendering nugatory their actions. but it
