The Game OF Chess

Chess is Of great antiquity, and it's

is undoubtedly of oriental origin The

Chess was called by the Hindoos
"cheturanGa,' the four angas-that is,
the four members Of the army--ele-
plants, horses, chariots and foot SOL

years ago as the ''game of war"
Little Tommy was very quiet during
the first courses, and every one forgot
he was there. AS the dessert was being

MILITARISM NOT POPULAR.

Prediction that Naval Maneuver VIII
Fail to Impress Congress.
From the Houston Post.
Judging from previous experience, Con
gress is not likely to inaugurate a great
naval construction programme. even with
the Atlantic coast line undefended be-
cause Of the absence OF the greater part
Of our naval strength With the excep-
ton Of Sunbeam Bob" Taylor, of Ten
nessee, and Capt Hobson, there is no
great sentiment in the South for a policy
Of militarlsm. which a large measure Of
naval expansion would embrace. Like
wise. the Republicans Of the great rural
interior Of the North have not taken
kindly 10 the Roosevelt naval idea. It
has been difficult to make provision for
more than three battle ships in one ap-
preparation bill. simply because the Con-
gressmen from the North Central States
have opposed large expenditures for such
purposes.
The Pacific demonstration is likely.
therefore to be in vain. Provision may
be made for two additional battle ships
or possibly three. but not any more, be-
cause battle ships OF the modern type now
cost something like S1OO00,OO0 each before
they are placed in commission, and build
ing great fleet of battle ships at $1,000
900 apiece does not appeal 10 the interior.
The President has made an expensive
maneuver to impress Congress. 1t will
cost millions to take the feet to the Pa
ciic and bring it back; but there is no
way for the country TO escape the bur
den.

Another lab at the oetopus.

AS If to re-enforce the heavy blow struck
by Judge Lands at the Standard Oil Com
pany. the Bureau Of Corporations follows
quickly with a report on the prices and
profits Of the petroleum industry, which
deals very icSnoclastieally with two main
points Of the defense commonly made OF
the Standards monopoly Of that industry
1t has been frequently asserted on behalf
of the Standard that the prices OF its
products are lower than they would be
under competitive methods Of production.
and that the enormous profits made by it
Were due to superior efficiency Of man
agement. Commissioner Smiths report
not only denies these assertions. but af-
firms that the exact contrary is true. 1t
declares that the Standard has raised the
price Of oil, that it has compelled the do
nestle consumer TO pay an exorbitant
tribute, that It's domination is not due to
superior efficiency, but to business meth
DDS economically and morally uniustifa-
Bile" that independent concerns can pro-
duce more cheaply, and that the claim of
the Standard that its control of the bush
ness is due TO the ability 70 maintain low
prices because Of superior efficiency is
complete Misrepresentation Of the facts
This is a fearful indictment to bring
against a capitalistic combination con-
trolling nearly 80 per cent Of the petro-
leum production OF the country, and Il
viii be taken to mean that such a combi-
nation cannot be permitted TO go on its
way unchecked by law. Doubtless the
Standard VIII combat the conclusions
reached by Commissioner Smith, Just as it
puts an innocent Interpretation on the
evidence by which il was convicted in
Judge Lands court. and as It has fusti-
fed any number Of transactions that 10
others looked bad on their face; but we
opine that most people viii be inclined TO
accept a government report which con-
firms the observations of independent in
vestgators as coming nearer TO gospel
truth than the ingenious defenses Of paid
attorneys and advocates.
In view Of the complacency. not to say
genuine satisfaction, with which the ire
mendous fine imposed by Judge Lands
Is regarded by press and public we should
think the Standard Oil people would con-
Guide It's about time to reform. 1t is evil
dent that pablo opinion viii support the
most extreme measures against the
Rockefeller brand Of octopus.
