The sensible fashion of riding with
cross saddles is coming more and more
into vogue every year. 1t is really the
only safe and healthful way of riding
and the only wonder is that women
have consented for so long to ride in

wearer is standing do not look any

When mounted, the skirt falls graceful

How 10 Deal with Trusts.

The prosecutions instituted by the
Attorney General of the United States
against the officers OF the Standard Oil
Company, under the antitrust law.
bear out the contention of Alton Il.
Parker. the Democratic presidential
nominee OF 1904, and of protectionists
also, that ample remedy for trust ex-
tortion Is provided for in existing laws
1t is said TO be the intention of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to supplement with
criminal prosecutions the procedure un-
der the antitrust law. A rigid adher-
ence TO this line Of action is what the
country wants. What the country does
not wait is that the government should
attempt to solve the trust problem by
ripping up the tariff. That is not the
true soiution- Trusts would flourish
with or without protective tariff. No
tariff protects the business Of the
Standard Oil Company. The same Is
true of many other trusts. ylgor and
persistence in enforcing the laws we
already have, resulting in money pen
alties and In Imprisonment as well, will
do the business.

One OF the New York Democratic De
pers says that the recent elections were
not Il Republican victory, and that the
result of the elections had nothing to
do with the advances in wages which
have been announced since then. IL
this talk Is intended to be serious. its
author has odd ideas Of some of the
things that are going on around him.
The Republicans carried Congress by a
bigger majority than they ever gained
before in an OF year election in which
their party held the presidency. except
in that of 1866. when the feud between
the Republicans and President John
son on Southern issues infiamed the
North Except in that election no par
~ in the history of this country has
ever won such a majority in congress
sional election in an of year in which
its party was in control in the White
House.
Nobody who has sense enough to lie
allowed to run at large honestly
dreams that the advances which have
been announced in wages since the big
Republican victory OH Nov. q would
have taken place if the Democrats had
carried Congress. Every Democrat.
every .Populist, every Socialist. every
Anarchist in the country knows that
Ii the Democrats had won not a rail
road nor a corporation OF any sort In
the country would have made any adj
vance In wages. A Democratic victory
for Congress in 1906 would have been
a pOrtert OF Democratic success in the
presidency in 1905 Ii the Democrats
had carried the House by a majority
Of only half dozen. Democratic news
papers and politicians all over the
country would have yelled. I'VE will
win in 1905" With such menace
ahead OF the country no railway or
any other interest would have In
sreased wages now.-St Louis Globe

Ball0oning as sport Is OF recent
France and Germany its value as an
celebrating recreation and pleasant
pastime has been abundantly recog-
nized for some time. The backwardness
OF American sportsmen to take up bal
looming IL undoubtedly to be laid to
some popular fallacies about aeronau-
tics. One OF these fallacies Is that bal
looming Is so dangerous as TO be a
reckless risk Of life !; another Is that the
sport is very costly. So far as expense
goes balloOning does not demand near
ly so large an. expenditure OF money on
the part Of the sportsmen as does either
yachting or automobilIng
There Is no doubt that ballooning
will increase in popularity in this coun-
try among gentlemen just as 1t has In
France and Germany. In France it Is
particularly active as a sport while In
Germany Its adheregts are giving. great
attention TO- aerona ties In connection
with science
The public. naturally, acquires most
OF its ideas of the danger of aeronau-
tics from the mishaps and accidents
associated with professional aeronauts.
1t Is not that these men are careless
or that they place no value upon their
lives, but rather from the nature Of the
conditions pertaining to their profess
sion are they frequently compelled to
place themselves in jeopardy. The
practice of dropping with parachute
from hot-air balloons has claimed so
many victims that In some States the
spectacle is prohibited by law. Bal
looming, however, Is compelled. rather
unfairly, to- bear the blame.
The number of balloonists, profess
sional and otherwise, and the number
of their ascents from the first ascen-
sion, in 1888, are beyond calculation,
but out of the many thousand ascents
made between 1888 and 1850 there were
recorded but ten fatalities, and only
one of these has been ascribed as just
ly due to the perils Of aeronautics.
Some figures recently printed but not
authenticated give the number of
deaths from ballooning In the 10
years between 1888 and 1902 as fifty
two, but 1t may safely be asserted that
the large proportion during the last half
century was due to causes suggested.
Those who look upon ballooning as es-
sentially dangerous do not know that

That Philippine Trim.

1t is not improbable that Secretary
Taft's suggestion will prevail with the
President The trip to Panama was
made for the purpose Of getting in
touch with the project and with the
people. that he might consider legisla-
ton with thorough knowledge. There
really seems to be as much reason why
he should visit the Philippines.
President Roosevelt did not permit
precedent to stand in his way when
he concluded that trip to Panama
was in the nature of public duty and
by the same token no such obstacle as
precedent will keep him out Of the
Philippines. But the journey cannot
be taken until next fall. and it may
be that pressing legislation affecting
the islands will be settled by that time.
Should Congress fail to do the right
thing by the islands at the coming
session, the President may consider the
ACCESSIBILITY Of going to the Philip
pines IN person for more ammunition
with which TO besiege the next Con
gress.
But unless he considers the demand
urgent, he will find plenty ut home to
keep himself occupied. Provided all
signs do not fail. there will be tariff
agitation of a positive character next
summer, for the President believes the
people want 1t. Then the big struggle
for 1903 will be in its first throes, and
while the President is out OF il as far
as his candidacy is concerned, be Is
as deeply Interested. as he was in 1904.
Hence he will dislike being distant
from the center of political activity
and discussion even for the period con-
sumed In hasty trip to the Philip
pines. Future developments, therefore,
will determine more than apparent
present EFFICIENCY the action of the
President with reference to Secretary

real life and it will be step to the
new evolution. This evolution can
only result in the creation of some
thing the equal of the higher animals,
but what it will be who can say?
1t seems to the professor that the
scientist who will be able to do this
will be able to determine the physical
form of his creation aft + the devel-
