THE STATEMENT that the Lutheran
clergy of Saxony have issued an order
striking the name of the Crown Princess
from public prayers will be received with
surprise throughout the Christian world,
for it would appear to mnst people that
at this very time the Princess is most IN
need of intercession. Indeed, if the
church sanctions prayers for Turks and
infidels it certainly might extend them
to fallen woman whose life has been
made unhappy by an Incompatible II not
brutal husband. The action OF the
Saxon clergy is certainly not in keeping
with the teachings of the Master who
said, "Let him who is without sin cast
the first stone"

Another Increase in Price.

Toledo, o. Dec. 3l.-The Standard
Oil Company today posted notice of an
other three cent increase in the price of
crude oil from all fields. The action is
taken, as others have been, in the hope
that production will be increased until
the supply equals the demand, which it
has not done for some time, with the
result that surplus stocks are greatly re-
duced. The latest raise puts North Lima
up to 81. 10 and South Lima and Indiana
at 81. 10.

THE CHICAGO RECoRD-HERALD wants
to know what has become of the Presi-

on anthracite coal should be removed
and anthracite put actually, where 1t
now is nominally, on the free list.
This was the one recommendation of his
message that met with such universal
approval among the people, who wish
that he had gone further and asked for
the removal of the tarifFon all coal. But
Congress seems no more disposed to give
the people partial than complete relief
from the oppression ofthe coal monopoly
under the tariff. The coal and the
other trusts completely dominate Con-
gress and it matter not with that body If
the President says aye should the trusts
say nay.
