News and Comments
Two Kinds of Busines $ War.

The ordinary business combination
or union wins success in the war OF
trade by selling to the public articles
of greater cheapness than can be OBJ
tained from their competitors. The
Schenectady trades assembly seeks
success over its antagonists, not
through legitimate competition, but
through deliberately doing them harm.
1t is not trying to carry passengers
at less rates than the street railway
company; it is seeking to hurt the
company. 1t is conspiracy, not to
compete, but to injure Such an en-
terprise should be impossible in this
country. 1t invades the rights with
which each and every citizen is endow-
ed through the law guaranteeing equal
rights to all.-New York Sun.

A Chicago scientist announces that
he has discovered the elixir of life.
The announcement is backed up by
some rather convincing experiments
but the general public does not appear
to enthuse. The people have long
since put the life elixir in the per-
petual motion class, regarding both as
equally impossible. They have ac-
cepted death as inevitable and have
ceased the search for fountains of
youth and waters of eternal life. BY
artificial means it is quite probable
that this Chicago savant can prolong,
for a brief interval, the span of a hui
man life. His method is hypodermic
injection of "a solution of sodium and
calcium. This acts as powerful
heart stimulant and revives for time
the vital spark. But the action of the
drug is transitory and dissolution is
not long delayed. There is no use.
The mystic fount, for which Ponce de
Leon sought when the land was young
is today no nearer discovery. From
time to time patient explorers in the
field of knowledge have risen with a
cry of success upon their lips only to
see the mirage dissolve and disap-
pear. And after all is 1t not best? l.
this life so pleasant that we would
care to prolong it indefinitely? Death
comes to a man like night after a day
of toll; it brings rest and forgetful-
ness. If it were possible today for the
hand of science to press the water of
life brimming to our lips, how many
of us would imbibe?

The school board of Lorain has just
annibilated one of childhood's most
cherished institutions the school
recess. The fifteen minute intermis-
sion between grammar and arithme-
tic has been deemed harmful and has
been relentlessly blue-penciled from
the curriculum. The argument offer
oil In support of this action is that
children of all ages are permitted at
recess to mingle unrestrainedIy and the
results of the association are baneful
and demoralizing. Those of us, who
look back upon those. days in the
Iquatty brick school house, cannot re-
member of ever having been demoral-
lzed to any extent by the fifteen min
ute breathing spells in morning and
afternoon. The splendid democracy
of the play ground where we mixed

The annual convention Of the coun-
ty auditors association closed in this
city Thursday afternoon. One of the
matters discussed was bill prepared
by one auditor providing for contin-
uous board of equalization and ap-
praisement, consisting of four mem
bers, elective, to remain in session all
the year around, save when the audi
tor is working on his books. The bill
contemplates the abolition Of decen-
nial board of appraisers and assessors
and makes the board responsible for
local taxes. In deferance to the wish
es of Governor Nash. the measure was
not introduced at the special session OF
the legislature. but it will probably
be offered at the next regular session.
At the suggestion of State Auditor
Guilbert a committee was appointed to
take under adyisement the question of
taxation for ipterurban terminal aud
intermediate trackage between cities
and make a report at the next meeting.
The association will submit some
thing to the legislature along this
line. It was decided that hereafter no
coroners' fee bills would be paid un-
less approved by the county commits
sioners. Auditor Jones, OF franklin
county, was elected president, and Au-
ditor Leonard. Of Mahoning county,
vice president.
