DAWN ON GENNEsAR.


Clinton Scollard in New York sun.
Lost love, though far asunder
Our present pathways are,
Do you recall, / wonder.
How under dawn's Gear star,
The red sun still in hiding,
The south wind gently riding
We twain alone went riding
The plain of Genesar?
The crimson oleanders
Hinged round us Ike sea,
Where bees. the busy banders.
Would soon make melody;
And yet no radiant posies
In those wild Syrian closes
Held half the charm the roses
Your cheeks betrayed to me!
Above us bent and broodsd
Haloed and hallowed skies
Where no dark clouds intruded,
No spectral mysteries;
But their wide sweeping splendor
Did not reveal the tender
And trustful heart surrender
l visioned In your eyes!
From out the twilight distance
The deep lake of the Lutte
Murmured it's low insistence,
Its music pever mute;
And yet far more enthralling
Your voices rise and falling
Than any siren calling
or wave or magic flute
with many a broad flung streamer
We saw a palm tree stand,
A solitary dreamer
Above the lonely land;
But all that IL was fair with
Poising in dewy air with
In grace could not compare with
The wafture of your hand!
Then burst the dawn; the mountain
Behind us owned the spell;
Before our feet the fountain
Mirrored the miracle:
And in our souls the story
mo glamour transitoryO
OF loves awakened glory
Was more than tongue could tell!

The verdict of guilty against the
Standard Oil company on an indfct-
ment for conspiracy against trade in
violation of the Ohio state antitrust
law marks in that state the culmina-
ton of a public sentiment that is uni
versal. demanding that great corpora
ton trusts and combines submit to the
laws the same as ordinary citizens and
small corporations, State laws against
trade conspiracies and illegal practices
in pursuance Of them had so long been
VIGOROUSLY set at defiance through
systematic abuse OF Incorporation pow
ers that many had come to despair of
effective remedial legislation and even
of the power OF public authority TO
deal with such violators grown AFRO
CANT through immunity from punish
ment and powerful through ill-gotten
wealth and undue influence in govern
ment. But II Ohio can prosecute TO
conviction the Standard Oil company,
the most successful as we'll as the
greatest Of the formidable trust brood.
other states can do the same. and
there is encouragement for an advance
all along the line.
The effect will naturally be TO stiniu-
late other states to grapple not only
with the Standard oil company, but
with other trade eonspiracies in viola
ton OF state laws with increased leg
islstive severity and executive energy.

SEPTEMBER MEAT EXPORTS.

Although a revulsion of feeling in
favor Of our meats and meat products
had been evidently occurring in for
eign countries, its extent as shown by
the official report Of exports for the
month Of September is surprising. The
shipment Of meats abroad during that
month made the great gain of $3.50
900 over the corresponding month of
last year, in spite of the fact that the
aggregate exports of domestic products
showed considerable falling of.
1t is extraordinary that the particu-
lar class OF commodities for which the
foreign market was most imperiled
early in the year, consumption and
sales having been abruptly curtailed
over a period of several months by the
sensational Chicago packing house dis
closures, should be the only important
class, except breadstuffs, In which so
notable a gain occurs in the September
record. 1t can be explained only by
the more extraordinary countervailing
effect OF the meat inspection and pure
food measures enacted at the late ses-
sion of congress. The consequence is
that our meats alone in the worlds
supply go to European consumers with
a guarantee whose genuine and re-
sponsible character commands implicit
confidence. At the same time pub
licity concerning methods of slaughter
houses and packing establishments in
Great Britain, Germany and other Eu-
ropean countries has by contrast ex-
cited suspicion against their products,
Prompt and thorough correction of
our own shortcomings thus has been
not only the salvation OF the gravely
menaced foreign market for our meats,
but the means OF placing them in far
stronger position there than they ever
occupied before. and signally vindi-
Gates the wisdom of President Roose-
velt's resolute stand for such legisla-
ton.

That people may not be misled it
should be stated that the argument
before Governor Mickey on the
charges preferred against the mem
bers of the Omaha Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners dealt solely
with a question of law, whether or
not it devolyes upon the board to see
that the laws and ordinances are en-
forced. Should the governor hold
that the enforcement of law belongs
to the mayor, exclusive of the police
board, that would end the proceed
ings, but should he hold that the duty
to enforce the law rests with the board
as we'll as the mayor, he would pro.
