The Value of Tact.


The amusing little story above af-
fords the editor an opportunity to give
a little advice which is not unseason-
able and for which all peace-loving
minister's offer sincere thanks. The
substance of the advice is subjoined:
Somehow or other, and from all sorts
of causes, there is. in some quarters,
a continual condition of fretful irrita-
ton. 1t is, as a matter of course, al
ways the "other one" who is RESPONSE
BILE.
There are charges and counter
charges Quips and "retort discourte-
ous.'' So the air becomes charged
with fractional evaporation, and
there is a general mood of ragged
edged" discomfort, with periodical ex
plosions, often for the most trifing
causes.
Where this condition of things pre-
walls we are inclined to believe that
there is, even at the worst, seldom any
of the trouble arises, purely and sim
Ply ,fr2ausalack of tact. A player may
criticise his partner too brusquely, or
be too ready to find fault. If it hap

wrong way" don't be in too desperate
a hurry to resent it or construe it Of

Don't be too ready to attribute
wrong motives, and don't make bad
worse by too hastily resenting some
speech or action that may be more
due to temporary evaporation than to
any intent to offend You'll be a
gamer in your own self-respect and in
the estimation of your fellows.

the air wonderfully if the walls were

Forcing Losing Trump.
The following from Dayton, Ohio,
illustrates the value of forcing a los
ing trump:

play, with comments, and therefore
venture to send herewith one which
you may find worthy of publication.
To my mind, it affords ION the dupli-

gaining trick by forcing losing

against the small shipper. but also to
compel the testimony of witnesses and
to secure absolute publicity of accounts.
The second recommendation Is for a
law to prevent overcapitalization. We
should go further. Make it obligatory
that the capital of every great indus
trial concern, every combination which
enters into interstate commerce. be paid
preventive Of stock-watering, of ex-
plotting the market. Of paying big divi-
dends on fictitious securities. Nothing
could be more distastefui to the trust
promoters than compelling them to or
ganize on money instead of upon wind
and a printed prospectus.
The third recommendation is for law
requiring all trusts and corporations in
terstate in character to publish period
ioally complete statements of their
financial condition and to come under
federal control by taxation This also
is an important and necessary step. Con-
troll and regulation, rather than pro-
hibition. must be the watchword in deal
ing with the trusts That control must
be complete. that regulation stern and
unyielding. 1t is the proper method of
dealing with the trust, just as 1t is now
recognized universally to be the proper
method of dealing with the railroad.
The sooner we cease vain and empty
denunciation and set at work along
these practical lines the better 1t will be
for the country and the worse for the
trusts.

At o'clock this morning the returns
were sufficiently complete to show that
the city election resulted in a Repub-
iican landslide
Humes is elected mayor by a major
ity OF about $500. Paul for comptroller
Humphrey for corporation counsel and

The Republican candidates for coun-
cilmen at large are chosen by majori-
ties somewhat less than the rest OF the
ticket or the ward councilmen not
more than three fusionists at the out
side were successful. The council will
thus stand eight Republicans to two Of
the opposition. with one stili in doubt.
The vote on the amendments was sur.
prisingly large. and all of them are
adopted by good majorities. The propo-
sition to acquire the Cedar river lands
was approved by an almost unanimous
vote.

doas proportions, most gratifying to the
