II Hobson has no sense and the

have enough left to stop this disgust

sense of propriety to the winds, it il
time to call off. What spectacle! A
lot of manudle pated women and q
soft headed hero with a press to re-
port them, spreading their Stiffness to

nauseating nuisance. It has grown

It has been asked, "Will the mem
bers of the legislature use railroad
passes? In reply to this query the
TIMES believes that no self respecting
member OF the legislature can use a
pass or frank of any kind in conse-
quence Of his promise to the people
through the medium of the platform.
The member from Pierce County has
publicly condemned the use OF these
privileges and every Republican has
virtually declared against the pass
nuisance in every form. Therefore
those who have confidence in the in
tegrity of the men whom they helped
to elect should take it for granted
that the festive little pass will not
find receivers this time.

President Mckinley has been max
ing some great speeches in the South
of late, but the good people misinter-
preted his motives altogether, and
all kinds of bills for pensioning ex-
confederates, admitting ex-rebel
soldiers to the soldiers homes, etc.
etc. are in consequence being daily
introduced in Congress. The president
should be more explicit as to his real
motives when he makes Southern
speeches in future or he will be sorry
he spoke.

There are those who believe or at
least pretend to believe that the
Standard oil trust is a benefit to the
country on the ground that in
squelching competition it has reduced
the price Of oil to the consumer. Such
argument for upholding the formation
OF trusts is poor, even though the
facts from which such conclusions are
drawn be true. The price OF oil is not
burdensomely high, yet this fact
should not be offered as an excuse for
the formation Of monopoly like the
Standard Oil Trust.
Trusts are formed for profit and
nos for philanthropical motives, and
judgiL from the desperate straits in
which The Standard oil trust has been
put in ord,r to avoid making public

that the members who compose the
monopoly are not angels. When any
corporation will l,osolt to the whole
sale burning of it's books rather than
submit them for examination, before
AN investigating committee, it is evid-
ent that something is radically wrong
and does away with the the theory
that any good can come of q Trust.

stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world from that which they see through
defective eyes Mark any peculiarities that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squirting, frowning,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having a childs eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examina ton free.
