The Senate refused to confirm the appointment of Judge !. c. Wallace, as one of the new Chan eellors but just as- soon as. the Legislature adjourned Gov. Da- visre-appointed him, and he will serve for two years, at any rate. The big mistake that the Senate made was passing the bill creat- ing demand for Chancellors. There was no necessity for such law, and to create a lot of new offices to pay out $16,000 on was little less than an out rage upon the taxpayers of Ar kansas.

Americans Ignorant of America.

Boston Herald
 This is rather astonishing statement made by President Roosevelt in his address at the laying of the corner stone of the new gate at one of the entrances of Yellowstone Park, that a greater number of people come from Europe to see the wonder ful natural beauties of that veri- table wonderland than come from our own Eastern States to see them. It seems to substanti- ate the familiar assertion that the na atural and artificial won ders of the Old World have more attractions for a great many of our people who can afford to travel than the finer scenery that is to be found in our own eoun- try. It is q common experience to find Americans travelling abroad and indulging is rhapso- dies over scenery that cannot compare i'll beauty with what can be found at home. The trouble is that these travellers abroad have never seen It.

Tax them in an increasing ratio as
they increase in wealth. The report
says: "We would leave perhaps the
first hundred thousand free, and the
first million cheap, and raise the rate
with each succeeding million" AS it
now is, the rule works the other way.
1t is the smaller concerns that pay the
highest rate. Reverse this condition.
and the problem is solved. But how!
Money is mighty-in commercial
matters well-nigh almighty. 1t is
difficult to see how any force can be
brought to bear upon the trusts that
money cannot resist. Perhaps after
all, the greed of the mighty corpora
tions will prove to be their own de-
struction. But it makes ono trem
BILE to think of all the possible calam
aties that may fall upon us when th'
collapse does come.

A man must dwell under the shadows
of sorrow before he can reach the fulness
of life. The bright sunshine of good
fortune must give place, for season, to
the dark clouds of disappointment and
suffering, ere the true relation of things
can be seen. 1t is the woman who has
stool over her own sick child and pa
tiently suffered as she attended to its
every need that has the deepest, broades'
sympathy for another mothec in like Cir
cumstances. 1t is the man over whose
head the angry storms have passed that
finds himself possessed of a heart thai
sees things in their proper relations.

THE LAWYERS
AND THE TRUSTS.

At q meeting Of the American Ba
Association in Hot Springs, Va, thi
week one Of the chinf4 -~SoiUn. 1h'
--~~vruoIon expresses alarm at The
rapid growth and tremendous powe,
OF the trusts. 1t points out three
remedies. First: Tax them tc
death or until their growth is i'm.
peded. Second: Compel them to
render better and cheaper service.
Third: The State can enter the
held Of competition, and by it's com
petition restore the force Of compe.
titlon to it's former supremacy,
The third remedy proposed would
be direct and powerful move ip the
direction of socialism. From this
the American people naturally re-
coil. 1t is, however, true that the
great movements towards combina-
tlon in almost every line of business
activity arc leading steadily to gov
ernmental control.
Many people see the deliverance
from the monopoly Of the trusts in
this very result. The trusts will,
they think, grow so great that they
will swallow up every competitor and
will in turn have to be swallowed up
by the government. This school of
thinkers and writer's is increasing in
number at an alarming rate, and it
is to be hoped that no such sad end. |

country What difference between

o be altogether inadequate, for the
eason that it offers too many ave.

Most men think that the way to
happiness lies in the road to vast
possessions. But it is by bringing
our desires down to the narrowest
limit, not by finding wider scope ior
their activity, that true Happiness is
to be found. The man possessed OF
millions, YET longing for more mil
lions, is poorer than one who possesses
little, yet has schooled his heart to
be satisfied with what he possesses.

Happy the man that does not boast
nor bluster. One has often to sur.
render an opinion or retreat from q
position. IT comes easier to the
humble man to do these things.
Benjamin Franklin tells in his "auto-
biography" that he made it a rule Of
his life never to emphatically state
his disagreement with others. He
would say: II believe you are mis-
taken" or some word that only par.
TALLY committed him to his own
statement upon the subject. Such a
rule is far more likely to lead to
pleasant results than the dictatorial
utterances Of some people. Besides
1t ovinces more of the genteel spirit
than is shown in the opposite m ethod

"I EUKGOT,'

A little child was told by its |
mother to be quiet. The mother was
suffering with q severe headache.
The child obeyed for a short time.
Suddenly it came running noisly into
the room where the mother was rest
ing. Seeing the frown which gather
ed upon the mothers face, the child
said: "Oh, l forgot" How many
people in this world are like this
child, except that they are not so
quick to own their thoughtlessness.
Very much Of the pain that we bring
upon others is the result OF our for
getfulness. The careless word, the
thoughtless deed often strike deeper
than we suppose. There is also an
other phase OF this question which
deserves consideration. Many peo'
pie have very treacherous memory
| when it comes to meeting their finan-
cial obligations. These offenders are
often persons who are we'll able to
meet these obligations promptly.
Their carelessness often leads to the
inflict:on Of severe suffering on the
part of the creditor. 1t is an easy
thing to forget to pay the cook or
the washer-woman promptly. 1t
may be hard matter for these same
needy bodies to procure food and raj
ment. 1t is an easy matter for some
people to "forget' to pay the butch
er, grocer, dry goods merchant and
milliner. 1t may be Il very hard
task that falls upon these creditors
IN the meter Of meeting their bills
as they fall duo. A certain mer'
1chant became involved in debt sc
deeply that ruin stared him in the
face, When failure seemed newt
able there was one man who hac
much to say about this same mer
chant being dishonest. 1t developed
later that the merchants defame
