Umbrella Deductions.

The man who sat nearest the window
said he didn't mind the wet weather,
relates the Kansas City Journal. 1T
gives me a chance to see how people
carry their umbrellas" he said. II
have such firm faith in my deductions
that l wouldn't be afraid to choose a
wife with them for a guide"
The woman on his left smiled.
I'm glad I'm not out there in the
street" she said. You'd be picking
out all the kinks in my disposition
along with the rest of them"
oh" said the man, II sized you
up a long time ago. You carry an
umbrella, when its furled. just like
that woman across the street. You
grab 1t in the middle and go gorging
ahead with the ends of the handle dig
ging into the unfortunate pedestrians
who go before and follow after"
And what does that signify?" ask
ed the woman on the left.
"Alertness, activity, selfshness and
inconsiderateness.''
"Um-m," said the woman.
But just look at the third woman in
the procession" said the man. Il pity
the men folks about her house. I'll
warrant they. have to get their own
breakfast about six mornings out of
the seven. j never saw yet a. woman
who dragged her umbrella along so
that you could track her by the trail
of the tip who wasn't dilatory and
shiftless. She never sews on a but
ton, or darns or mends, and her break
fast dishes are seldom washed before
2 O'Clock.
That other woman who is busting
along holding to the top Of the umbrel-
la handle like grim death and pointing
the top down and forward in a kind
Of south-by -southwesterly direction is
altogether different. She would set
the world on fire if it wasn't water
logged. 1 am not sure that I'd want
to be married to her, either. She'll be
too energetic. She'd push everything
before her. and when she took a mo-
ton to clean things up a mere man
would have nowhere to lay his head.
What she is good for is serving on
committees.
That woman in the gray skirt is a
ea-and-nay sort of person. She wants
to agree with everybody and follows
wherever led. Women who carry their
umbrellas with the point backward
and downward are always unassertive.
But just look at the girl who spins
along. swinging her umbrella around
l like her. She's jolly and good nat
ured and gets more pleasure out of
life than ten ordinary people. There's
woman carrying her umbrella swung
across her shoulder like a shotgun.
She's a true soldier of fortune and
was never known to say die. 1 can't
think of anything that would feaze
her"
The man paused.
And what would you say" asked
the woman, about that girl who car
ries her umbrella horizontally across
the small of her back and catches eth
er end into the crook of her elbow"
We'll" admitted the man, one on me
never met her before, but l wouldn't
be afraid to wager that she is con-
scientious to degree and has a
heart as big as all out
doors. But here" he added, comes
the most even-tempered woman of the
lot. She cuddles her umbrella protect
ingly under her arm as If she doesn't
want even it to get hurt in the crowd.
That woman is gentle and thoughtful
and kind"

THE PRESIDENT AND THE TRUSTS.

Is
In the current number of The Com
moner Mr.. Bryan calls attention to
| that part of President Roosevelt's La
Dor Day speech at Minneapolis which
deals with trusts, and in his comment
on it says: 1T viii be interesting to
watch the new President, and see
whether the hostility to trusts mani
tested by him when he was laying his
plans to capture the next Republican
convention is increased or lessened by
the responsibilities of the Office to
which he aspired."
What was it that Mr.. Roosevelt said
in respect to trusts in his Minneapolis
speech? The portion to which Mr..
Bryan calls attention for the purpose
of comment is as follows:
More and more it is evident that
the state. and II necessary the nation.
has got to possess the right of super
vision and control as regards the great
corporations which are its creatures,
particularly as regards the great busi-
ness combinations which derive a por-
ton of their Importance from the ex-
istence of some monopolistic ten
dency."
II will be seen from the foregoing ex-
tract that Mr.. Roosevelt did not speak
of destroying trusts. but of controlling
them. His idea seemed TO be that the
state must control them. If it could,
and that If it could not. then the ma
ton must do so. The Democrats of
Massachusetts,. in their platform
adopted last Thursday. say, on the
subject of trusts, that Communism OF
capital must be met by state control
Nothing is said in the platform about
destroying trusts.
II is safe statement that the opin-
ion is becoming general that trusts
are here to stay. The industrial and
transportation combinations which
have been made are not to be dis
turbed, and nothing will be done TO
prevent other like combinations.
What then is to be done TO protect
the public against trusts? How are
their evil features to be suppressed
and their good ones fostered? Evil
IDENTIFY as pointed out by the Demo,
Gratis of Massachusetts, and President
Roosevelt, namely, by controlling
them. The various states have found
no difficulty in controlling railroads
by means of commissions. Why then
should not trusts be controlled in the
same way? The state can prevent
them from robbing the people. 1t can
make laws fixing the standards and
prices of their products and enforce
them. In future il is probable that the
pressure will be in the direction of
controlling rather than destroying
trusts.

Prof. H. ]. Weber OF the national De-
partment Of Agriculture, who has been
studying anthracnose. the fungus dis
ease that has been doing so much
damage to cotton in all parts of the
South, says the disease has been known
about ten years. Ordinarily IL does
not cause serious damage, but in wet
seasons it may cause great loss. The
malady." he says, could be controlled
by spraying. but this is at present too
costly to be practical for general use.
The most hopeful means of ultimately
controlling the disease lies in breeding
varieties which will be immune to 1t.
Observations made in fields this year
seem to Indicate that certain varieties.
such as King and Mention, are already
in some degree resistant to the dis
ease. 1t is very proba BILE that
by selecting seeds from immune plants
resistant strains could be obtained OF
almost all standard varieties The
department will continue Its investiga-
tons of the matter.
