To make this voter float;
Something to lift him up from earth
And spread his joyous wing

CHIEF OFFENDER ATTACKED

II Is characteristic OF President
Roosevelt's courage that In leading

is chief In power and in perniciUus in
fiuence. IL Is Characteristic Of the
presidents directness that he has
mentioned that offender by name, and
II Is Characteristic OF his fidelity that
he proposes to use all the available
power Of the government to undo the
misdoing and to punish the misdoer.
Il has been tho general belief, says
the Troy Times, that the Standard
Oil company has been amassing great
wealth by crushing out competition.
and by the employment for this end OF
Illegal combinations and agreements
The thorough and untirlng investiga-
tion made by Commissioner Garfield.
of the bureau OF corporations. has
amassed facts which prove that secret
rebates granted by the Standard Oil
company and oppressive discrimina-
tion In open rates have given to that
enormous corporation a decisive and
overwhelming advantage over com
petitors. II is shown in Illustration
that rates only one.third OF what was
charged TO other shippers were given
to the Standard OH company in this
state.

Health Of School Children.


Proper attention to the health OF
children is an excellent civic invest
ment. A great part Of the diseases
which develop as chronic in after life
could be obviated by closer medical
superstition of children's health. Es-
pecially defects In hearing, eyesight
or teeth can be checked In early life,
while in later years they become too
confirmed to yield to treatment The
investigation of the board of educa-
tion have shown that a majority Of
the school children have either de-
fective eyesight or e tendency to bad
vision. II is now proposed TO ex-
anime the school ohildren's teeth al
so. This experiment has been tried in
Germany, where attention 10 the
teeth has improved the eyesight and
the hearing by improving the diges-
ton of the children treated. 1t is as
necessary for a child to have sound
senses and good bodily health as mem
tai development. In the majority OF
the occupations at which the present
school children of the present will in
future years earn their livelihood,
sound health and a good physique will
be of more value than education frills-
