Principal EIIabarger Refuses
to Allow Seniors Wearing
Them in, School.
GIVES REASON FOR STAND
SAYS THAT 1T is NOT A SLAP At
THE PERSONAL LIBERTIES OF
TUDENTS-NO DRASTIC AC-
TON TAKEN.

/ Because they refused to leave a.
home the corduroy trousers which
they began wearing last week, the
boys of the Senior class at high school
toned places at the order of Princi-
pal Ellabarger yesterday. Mr.. Ella
barger, acting on the suggestion of the
school board, told the Senior boys
Tuesday night that they would not be
permitted to wear the trousers and in
case any did so, they would be refused
the privileges of the school. Princ<
pal Ellabarger said last night to the
Palladium that he did not intend to
suspend any of the students unless
they should resort to tactics more seri-
Gus than those indulged in up to the
present time. He said that in case the
boys returned to school today they
would be reinstated.
The boys at present are antagonistic
and say they will not return without
their corduroy trousers. The girls
of the Senior class declare that they
will go to school today wearing blue
skirts and white waists as a mark of
sympathy for the boys. Principal Ell
labarger said last night that if such
a course were followed by the girls to-
day, they would be dealt with just as
the boys had been.
No Intention to Dictate.
Principal Ellabarger does not in
tend to dictate the style or color of
any of the students clothes, but some
time ago the school board decided
that there should be no class colors,
or other marks of class organizations
worn in the high school, which would
have a tendency to arouse class feel
ing. This, it is felt, the corduroy trou-
sers have done. Principal Ellabarger
says that he did not think at first that
the trousers would cause any trouble
and it was not until some Juniors
tried to stand up for their class by
throwing mud and ink on the cordu-
roys, that Mr. Ellabarger took a hand
in the matter.
1t is thought the parents will stand
by Mr.. Ellabarger and there is little
of the situation becoming
serious, as Principal Ellabarger has
always shown himself to be fair and
in handling such youthful

Edward Morris Brigham, of Battle

that has attracted much attention
among scientific men because 1t has
four feet.
Its scientific name Is opsthocoma

may evade solemn obligations and enter
easily into new and inviting relations.
TO hear such actOn-when the fruit of
pure seltishness and uncontrol-defend-
ed, rs is often the case, on high spirit
ual grounds. Is enough to awake the
humorist in the dullest' mind or to fill
with disgust the honest auditor. Who
has not heard irresponsiblity. within,
safety or curiosity dig6itied by amateur
philosophers with scientific or with god
like names? Here is hypocrisy indeed
ridiculous and rank. BY this way
lies danger to the spirit, danger TO the
family danger to the state.

us have the other thing The other

Of the matter. Behind the false preach
ment of noble life turks the specter

The public opinion of America has
been tested and it Is opposed to free
love- and all apparent attacks on the
sacredness Of the family; it may ex-
press its opinion in any given case with
awkwardness or without sufficient dis
crimination-that is not what we are
now considering the opinion is
sound and right. Our people believe
that the family is worth saving and all
good citizens and wise men should be
glad.

Southern friends tell, may come to

approach of hostilities was not received
with marked favor by the young ladies

His good mother was much concerned
by this quiet social disapproval and
tried to placate one of the bellies of the
town by explaining to her how neces-
sary it was that the young man. the
only male in the family. should stay
away from the battlefield in order to
take care of his mother and guard the
family interests. "Oh. my dear Mrs.
Blank" said the smiling girl, you need
not say another word. for would have
done exactly the same thing myself

The Child's Mistake.

The teacher had been explaining to
the class in etymology the meaning Of
the word ''gamy' as an ending in com.
pounds, and had taken as Illustrations
the three words 'polygamy,' "bgamy,
and "monogamy." "Polygamy. chill
dren," she explained. 'is the condition
of having several wives; bigamy, the
condition of having two wives, and
monogamy that of having only one
wife"
After discussing various other roots
and words, she reverted to those she
had first explained. and put questions
to test the knowledge of her pupils
"Now, children" she said, when q
man has many wives, or a woman has
many husbands, what do you call it?'
"Polygamy," was the response.
"And what Is it when there are two
wives or two husbands?'
'Bigamy."
Every good. But If the right state
of affairs exists. and man has only
one wife. and woman only one hus.
band-what is it thcn?"

AGAINST STANDARD
OIL OCTOPUS INDICTED ON THOU.
SANDS OF COUNTS.
Chicago Grand Jury Returns Ten
True Bills, Charging 6, 428 Of.
lenses Against Anti-Rebate
Law--Penalty Not Less than
$1,000 for Each Conviction.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The first and
second federal grand juries yesterday
returned ten indictments against the
Standard Oil Company before Judge
Bethea in the United States circuit
court.
The indictments, which contained
6,42S counts, are all in connection
with the granting of rebates. No rail-
road was mentioned in the indictments.
Each of the 6, 42S indictments covers
an alleged offense and is based on a
tank car shipment of petroleum pro-
ducts from the retiueries at Whiting,
Ind.
According to statement issued
after the indictments had been re-
turned from the offices of the United
States district attorney these ship
mems we're carried by the following
roads:
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Chi
cago & Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illi-
nois, Evansville & Terre Haute, I'LL
nois Central, Southern Railway and
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern.
Character of Concessions
According to this statement, the
Burlington and Alton roads Had pub
lished lawful rates of IS cents per
hundred pounds to East St. Louis
from Whiting and 1872 cents to st.
Louis, but carried oil for the Standard
Oil Company on secret unpublished
rate at 6 and Z y cents to those points
respectively"
The statement then continues
lon shipments to points in the
South, beyond Grand Junction, the
Standard Oil Company should have
paid the different lawful rates for the
different points of destination, but
was given concessions which averaged
about 271a per cent of the published
rate. The same is true of the ship
ments handled by the Chicago & East
ern Illinois and Evansville & Terre
Haute to Evansville, Ind, and points
beyond.
1.-THE concessions given to the
Standard Oil Company by the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern road were
in the shape of cancellation of storage
charges at Chicago of cents per ton
per day on all oil in delivery. Other
oil shippers were compelled to pay the
storage charges"
1t was stated by the district attor-
ney's office that the penalty for each
offense alleged in the indictments is a
fine of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $40, 900.

EUROPE APPLAUDS ROOT
Secretary Gets Credit for Sending Drago
Doctrine to Hague Conference

London, Aug. 2S.-South American
affairs and am billions have been very
much in the eye of Europe this week,
the chief topics being the financial
consequences of the Chilean earth
quake and the decision of the Pan
American congress to submit the Drago
doctrine to the next conference at The
Hague.
Mr.. Root has come in for general
commentator, because the press of
Great Britain, Germany and France
believe it was his personal influence
more than anything else that prevent
ed the congress from taking the I'M
wise and provocative course of declar-
ing the doctrine to be part of inter
national law without further ado. On
this point the attitude of the Berlin
press is highly flattering to the Amer
leans. So far from adopting the inso-
lent tone in which a leading Russian
paper referred recently to Mr.. Root &
participation in the congress and his
visit to South America-a ludicrous
burlesque of the policy of the Wash
ington government-the German writ.
ers admit the fairness Of his course in
overruling the mistaken Latin senti.
ment that too long has perverted the
administration of South American
states.
1.-The sound principle that Europe
should be invited to give assent to de.
partures in international law" says
one of the best reviews on the ques'
ton printed in Paris, els clearly es'
tablished by all the American repub'
lies. Will the day dawn when the
Monroe doctrine, which is as arbitrary
an assumption as the Drago doctrine,
shall be merely presented for interna'
tional approval? Is Washington will
ing to follow its logic to the end?'
