The pupils of the Edward Little high

school by making it necessary for pupils
taking part in school athletics to reach Oh
a certain percentage in their studies

This is a radical departure from
methods followed elsewhere. In many
instances the schools are apparently
merely training schools for base ball
and foot ball. This recalls the remark

least be required to spread the statistics of
their management before the proper au-
thorities. Through publicity alone can the
tricks of organization and reorganization
which result in such stupendous frauds on
the public that shown up in the ship
building case be prevented or surely pun
ished. This is therefore an unfavorable time
for the Standard Oil Company to raise an
issue on this question of publicity. The
revelations of Mr.. Dresser and Mr. Nixon
in the shipyard trust case have added to the
popular determination to secure the writing
of laws which will protect the public from
the money sharpers who manipulate the
trusts. If the Standard should succeed In
knocking out the publicity clause OF the law
under which Commissioner Garfield is now
working the result will inevitably be a de-
mand from the entire country. regardless of
parties or sections that the foundation be
at once prepared. in a constitutional amend
ment If necessary. for the writing of a law
which will stand all tests; and the new
statute will be much more drastic than the
old.

An Anti-Publicity Trust.

The Standard Oil Company was once the
favorite of the trust advocates. Whenever
they were pressed into a tight place In an
argument over the morality of trusts in
general they would cite this particular cor
poration and point to TIE fact that oil was
never before so cheap. This, they pro-
claimed, was the result of good manage
ment, compact organization and strict at
tention TO the law of supply and demand.
The people had benefited from the CONSOLE
dalton of the oil refining business. All of
which was true. But these defenders of
the oil trust were never able confidently to
answer the question whether the cost OF
oil to the people might not have been very
much lower If it were not for the trust, If
honest competition prevailed between pro-
ducers and rehners. Certainly the ancient
argument was Jared bit last autumn
when the oil trust ran the prices up VITA
out other reason than that the demand fe2
the oil had suddenly increased. owing to the
scarcity of hard coal. The supply was sufti-
Gent There was no shortage. The de-
mand Increase alone was not valid eco
nomie cause for price increase.
This action was deplored by the defenders
of the oil trust. who began to see the dam
ger of concentration. They asked them
selves if their pet trust were not growing
too certain of It's popularity, too confident
Of the Endorsement by the people of its
methods. The coal shortage was the very
opportunity for the oil trust to make a
grand stand play, to clinch the popular
prejudice in it's favor. Now an incident has
occurred which is calculated TO further
shake the oil trust in the esteem of it's de.
tenders. In pursuance of the act of Con-
gress creating the Department of Com
merce, the head of the newly organized
bureau of corporations has for some months
been collecting statistics as to their organi-
cations from the great corporations of the
country. He has received replies to his in
ouirfes from all save the Standard Oil Com
pany That concern stubbornly refuses to
grant the request of the bureau for facts
and figures and defies it to go to court to
compel their submission. 1t wishes nothing
more than the test of the statutes

this subject of trust publicity However

remedies to cure the trust evil. all would be

Dowie's Finances.

Brother Dowie is in need of funds, and
calls on the faithful to step up to the cap

cheney In the treasury was caused by the
visit to New York. That disastrous effort
cost in round numbers two hundred and

ness shrewdness and forehandedness Ex-

Misuse Of the Flag,
From the Philadelphia Press.

There has been an extraordinary number
of bills introduced at the present session
of Congress to prevent the dissertation of
the American flag. There is a growing
conviction that the flag is cheapened and
It's influence and inspiration marred by be-
ing used to emphasize and ornament an ad-
yertisement or trade mark. 1t is pro-
posed to make such a misuse of the ma
tional emblem a penal offense. The flag
should be common; 1t should be in evil
dence everywhere, but wherever 1T is seen
1t should stand only for the national au-
thority and glory.
