The newspaper in general serves
as topic for discussion at every
church conference and words are
sometimes spoken by sensational
ministers that would wound the
feeling OF q sensitive press. Rev.
DR.. Greer of New York at recent
Minneapolis gathering of ecclesi-
sstics inveided against what he
described ass the newspaper habit"
meaning the reading of daily jour
mails rather than serious books on
philosophy or religion. Possibly
he intended a rebuke to people
who preferred to enjoy sprightIy
newspaper rather than listening
to q dull sermon; but he carefully
RETAINED from going into details.
OF course he said "tbe newspaper
must necessarily ba sensational"
because he defined news to be
"the uncommon things of lite.' :.

In one OF Senator Hannn'e
speeches he referred to the trusts
in a manner scarcely to have been
expe cted from q statesman who is
supposed to have dictated the Ohio
republican platform. He said:
"This combination of capital for
one purpose and another is not
political. It is business ques-
ton and aught not to have been
broughtinto politics."
Where is the business, legiti-
mate or otherwise that is not more
or less in politics? Every bust
ness in the United States is nut
into politics by the express terms
of the constitution. The nuthori-
cation of congress and to rise reve-
nues and to regulate currency and
interstate commerce places every
dollars worth of property in the
political arena. Corporations are
the creations of legislations and
are therefore, in politics in an es.
pecial manner. Both national
and state Legislation has to do will
"this combination of capital 70,
one purpose and another"
Did republican congress dab
BILE in matter beyond it's prope,
domain when it enacted the anti.
trust statute? Did the Ohio re-
publicans get outside of their bali.
wicks they organized trusts as the
political question in their platform
and, if 80, where was Mr.. Hanna
when the platform was written?
We recall the fact that before
the Ohio republican convention
assembled the home organ OF Mr..
Hanna was almost frantic in ita
denunciations of trusts and it's in.
sistence that the republican,
must not let the democrats exec
them in warfare against what Mr.
Hanna calls "this combination Of
capital" the statesman who stands
for protection and who is the faith.

absurd figure in declaring that
trusts and combinations do not be.

standing, low-limbed trees, with the
nature and levels Of tho country un.

for the finest and fercest quality Of the
horseman, says writer in Harper's
Magazine. As he lodges, swerves, and
clings in the saddle to avoid mutilation

dest Of the danger is still to come. The
riders hands must do double duty now
ms he lets loose the whip and guides the
horse as we'll. The rout must be turned
and directed against itself. The horse
is dragged inward, the whip Kisses and
falls; the man, silent until now, opens
throat and lungs in the stockman's bat
tle-cry. IL the lending cattle sweyve
and swing away, carrying confusion
among the rest, and breaking the d.

that come laundering blindly on feel
the scorching of the thong on head and

The blind rush becomes maelstrom.
the maelstrom spreads into eddies Of
confusion-the clash of horns and huRs
muttering sounds. Then the herd set

sound arises Of big muzzles blowing

man knows that his danger is past.

Trade may follow the flag, but
so far as the United Stated goes It
may he said it has been the crea-
ture OF the railroad, and the soma
phore has meant more to us than
naval wiewagging. The amazing
features Of American railway de-
velopement in comparison with
Europe's are not only the enor-
nous areas gridironed with the
rails and links by bands of steel,
but the high level of comfort, the
conveniencea, even the luxuries'
that have accompanied this growth.
What we all take for granted here
abroad will only be met under
special conditions. And it is this
practical demonstration of the
general rule of comforts and con-
veniences that attracts the intelli-
gent foreigner who visits the

cal efficiency and the perfection of
American engineering open the
