says ito see the government interfere
with ordinary commercial transactions
it seems TO us that so many national
interests are involved in the steamship
merger that government intervention
is not only justifabe, but an almost
imperative necessity"
And so forth and so on. But j. Pier
pont Morgan, ir,, is reported as calmly
saying: "All this agitation in England
is quite unbiased We cannot transfer
ships from the British to the American
flag, and, what is more, we have not
contemplated it, Some of the serious
papers here are constantly making a
great fuss, but it all appears to us to
be very sensational journalism, We
know of no opposition to the combine,
and neither know, nor particularly care,
at the present moment what the Gu
nard and other outsiders plans may
be- In course of time the agreement
on which the Trust is based will be
submitted to the shareholders of the in
divdual companies concerned OF
course And it will all be so plain that
the plan is legal and profitable that
everybody who can get under the wing
of the all-concuering American will be
glad to.

Soul, what are thou in the tribes OF tn
ground?"
Lord, when the time is ripe,
Said a frog through the quiet rain,
We take up the silver pipe
From the pageant again.
When the melting wind of the South
Is over meadow and pond,
We draw the breath of thy mouth,
Revlving the ancient bond.
Then must we fife and declare
The unquenchable joy of earth,
Testify hearts stlll dare,
Signalize beauty's worth
Then must we rouse and blow
On the magic reed once more,
Till the glad earth-children know
Not thing to deplore.
When rises the marshy trill
To the April nights profound,
We are type of Thy will
To the tribes of the ground.

That which we call a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet and
that which we call marriage will make
as much trouble when done by tele-
phone as when done in the ordinary
way But what can be done in the
marriage line is illustrated by what
was done the other evening in the Ken
lucky towns of Dayton and Hopkins
Vile The bride at Dayton went to the
drug store accompanied by her minis
ter and asked permission to use the
telephone The bridegroom accompa
MED by his own minister, took up his
position at the Hopkinsville end of the
wire. The Dayton minister put the
usual questions to the groom, whose
firm and manly responses were prompt
ly received. The clergyman at Hop
kinsvile repeated the customary for
mula to the bride, whose tremulous but
joyful replies came promptly back.
