Eight ON OIL TRUST.

The United States government
made the initial move TO dissolve the
Standard Oil so-called monopoly by
filing in the United States district
court in st. Louis a petition in equity
against the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey and its 20 constituent cor
porations and partnerships, and seven
defendants, including John d. Rookie
Teller and William Rockefeller, ask
ing that the combination be declared
unlawful and in the future enjoined
from entering into any contract or
combination in restraint of trade.
In an interview at New York rep
resentative of the Standard Oil COM
pany said concerning report that the
company was preparing to dissolve
voluntarily: ANY reports that steps
have been taken by the Standard Oil
company to dissolve are without foun-
dation. Surely such report carries
its own contradiction"
The grand jury at Findlay, o., found
indictments against John ID. Rookie
Teller and three other persons in con-
nection with the Standard Oil inquiry.
Standard Oil attorneys say recent
suits filed in Allen county against the
corporation are invalid.

ROOSEVELT IN PANAMA.

The first trip of an American presi-
dent outside of the boundaries of the
United States was successfully con-
cluded when the battleship Louisiana,
having on board President Roosevelt
and his party, dropped anchor in the
harbor of Colon.
President Roosevelt crossed from
Colon to Panama, seeing much of the
canal and the famous Culebra cut on
the way. He took a trip around
Panama bay, and was welcomed in
Panama city, which lies outside of the
canal zone, by President Amador and
other officials of the Panama republic.
President Roosevelt descended from
his train at Pedro Miguel and climbed
up on one of the steam shovels, TAX

whom he subjected to a searching fire

took the opportunity, on behalf of
himself and the other engineers, to de-

look into this matter. He stayed on
the steam shovel about 20 minutes,
. President Roosevelt and his party
sailed from Colon for Ponce, Porto
Rico. Before leaving the isthmus Mr..

his satisfaction with the progress on

Automobile in the Bible.

Someone has found a hint, as some.
one always does when there is a new
invention or discovery, of the automo.
bile in the Bible. 1t is in the vision of
Nahum, the Elkoshite, concerning the
burden of Nineveh. In the account
given by this seer of the military mus.
ter and array of the Modes and Bah.
ylonians against the doomed city OF
Nineveh, the mistress of witchcrafts,
when "the people in the midst of her
were women" the Elkoshite has this
remarkable verse. The chariots shall
rage in the streets. they shall jostle
one against another in the broad ways,
they shall run like lightnings." A vari.
ant of the word 'jostle," which the
original Hebrew will, 1t is said, equally
well or better bear, is pass swiftly,
without particular purpose, to and
fro" rendering which brings the carr
of the Hebrew prophet into, perhaps,
still closer connection with the motto,
cars of the present day.

Relief Funds Are Filtered.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
A new investigation il progressing in
the course Of developments In the local
graft scandal. 1t now appears that
many sums OF money, large and small,
that were sent from different states
to San Francisco for the relief of the
sufferers from the calamity never
reached the relief committee. Some or
these amounts, which aggregate a
large sum, were mailed to the care OF
Mayor Schmitz. F. ]. Heney, Detective
VIM. Burns and about 100 government
agents have been making an investiga-
ton.
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry. and he de-
clares that no man guilty of diverting
the relief funds shall escape justice.
The cases come within the jurisdic-
tion Of the federal authorities because
of the interstate character of the pos
tai service. which, Ii is alleged, was
criminally tempered with.
A considerable sum OF money was
also sent through the express com
panies, and Wells Fargo, which COM
panies are now investigating the disap-
pcdIduCS Ol @lO,OoO sent III one pdCh-
age from the citizens of Searchlight,
New, which the relief committee say
they never received and which the
company says was delivered to the rep
resentative of the committee to whom
It was addressed. The crime of forgery
is said to be included in the offenses
of the raiders of the relief contribu-
tions.
1t is said that in the aggregate the
stealings will amount to a million dol
lars.

Murder Common in United States.

During the past five years $4,000
persons were murdered in the United
States. More persons were murdered
last year than died of typhoid fever.
This awful total has been due to the
way in which the law was admins
tered. And the law itself is bad and in
efficient. 1t is burdened with restric-
tions and technicalities, and in almost
every case the criminal h2g nine
chances of escaping to one of being
found guilty" So declared Judge Mar
Gus Kavanagh in an address before
the alumnae of st. lgnatius college,
gathered at a banquet at the Great
Northern hotel in Chicago. He spoke
on Enforcement of the Law in Large
Cities" and vigorously assailed the
operation of the courts under the jury
system. That the United States Is
the most criminal country in the world,
the Jury system the most loose and an
tiquated and the law open to attack
were among the assertions made by
Judge Kavanagh.
Figures and crime statistics or the
great countries of the world were also
given and 1t was shown that. while
England and Wales had only BIZ muir
ders last year, in the United States
$3.50 persons died by the hand OF the
assassin.

Legislature Cannot Appoint Them.

An erroneous idea prevails that the
legislature, in providing for state
constitutional convention, may pass a
law authorizing the appointment Of
the members. While many agree that
this method OF selecting the delegates
has advantages, it is pointed out that
under the joint resolution submitting
the question of revision to the people,
it was provided that the delegates
should be elected. Under that resolu-
ton it will therefore be impossible to
provide for their appointment.

UNJUST TO FRIDAY
LITTLE BASIS FOR BELIEF THAT
DAY Is A HooDoo.
Some OF the Most Momentous Events
In the History Of the World Have
Occurred on That Day-A
Few Instances.

or all the days of the week, Friday
is the hoodoo; there is no supersti-
ton that is more prevalent than that
which ascribes i'll luck to all under
takings which are inaugurated upon
that day of the week. Primarily this
superstition has its origin In the fact
that the crucifixion occurred on FRI
day, and those who are thoroughly
welded to the belief assert that Eve
and Adam ate the apple one Friday
so great is the burden that
Friday must bear. 1t is singular CO
incidence that the Buddhists and the
Brahmins hold the identical distrust
of Friday that the superstitious
among us maintain. The fact that 1t
is hangman's day. is rather the re
suit of the superstition than one Of
it's causes.
OF all the nations of the Christian
world, the Scotch alone have a fond
ness for Friday; with them the day Is
the favorite one of the week for wed
dings, but this is only another in
stance of the contrariness of the peo-
pie of the land of the heather. A die.
tionary of dates, recently published,
presents some arguments in favor or
Friday which show that the Scotch
people are warranted in their affec-
ton for the day that is elsewhere re-
garded with suspicion. Among the in
cidents that directly affect us as a
nation, many of the more important
have occurred on Friday.
Columbus, according to his author.
ity, discovered America on Friday; by
the same authority the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs landed on the Massachusetts
coast one Friday morning; George
Washington was born on Friday; the
battle of Bunker Hills was fought on
Friday, and so was the battle of
New Orleans; the capture of Rich.
mond, which marked an important
epoch in our late history, occurred
upon this supposedly luckless day.
In European history the day has
been no less important. The birth of
Queen Victoria occurred on Friday;
Shakespeare was also born upon this
uoy lhC A1oSbilS LCll OHC
ing; the execution of Charles l. was
on Friday; the battle of Morengo was
fought on Friday, and the burning OF
Moscow, which turned the tide of
conquest against Napoleon, occurred
on Friday as WELL
The adherents of the Friday super
stition will argue that, while these
events mark important steps in his.
tory, and while they brought good
luck to some people, they were ex.
ceedingly unfortunate for others.
While the burning of Moscow, for in.
stance, was instrumental in quieting
Europe. it was a stroke of the worst
kind of luck for Napoleon. But while
it is true that each of the incidents
mentioned were unfortunate for some.
body or other it is also true that each
brought about results that are for the
general good. 1t was rough on King
Charles that he was killed, but his
death was decidedly an event that
furthered the cause of liberty. All in
all, it seems that Fli1ay has a reputa.
ton that it does noe deserve.-Ana
