A $2s,4oo, FINE.
The Standard Oil Company Given a Heavy
Blow by Judge Lancis,

liz press QlSpaGcloS sent out
from Chicago last week tell of the
largest fine on record. Judge
Lands, of the Federal oonrt, in
Chicago, Saturday a.week ago
rendered a decision against the
Standard Oil Company, convicted
of violating the antitrust act in
accepting rebates from the Chi
cago & Alton Railway, which az
gregated 1928, 1000 during 19o3-o5.
The decision of Judge Lands is
regarded as one of the most i'm
portant in many years. 1t was
lengthy and touched on many vi
tai issues, especially rate regula-
ton. At the close of It's reading
Judge Lands ordered the draw
ing of grand jury to indict the
railroads which gave rebates to
the Standard Oil Company, one
of which was fined $4,000 some-
time ago for rebating.
Blow after blow was dealt the
oil trust and every prop knocked
from beneath the biggest corpora
tion or earth. Judge Lands said
it would be no burden on this gl-
gantic monopoly to fine it one
third of it's net earnings for a
year. 1t was shown that the gross
receipts of the company for 1903
05 were $199, 100000 The capital
stock is 500, 100000.
The size of these figures makes
the prosecution feel like it would
be able to overthrow any plea for
mercy which the trust might
make in the higher courts, for of
course the convicted company
will carry the case to the court of
last resort. The people of the
country will hear of the punish
ment of this trust with pleasure.
When the news was carried to
President Roosevelt Saturday
morning, he had nothing to say
whatever. One would have ex.
pected such a strenuous trust
burster to say something big
When the news was carried to
John D. Rockefeller, president of
the Standard Oil Company, he
also had nothing to say. One
would have expected him to de-
liver spiel about expressing cor
porations. At least he should
have delivered Sunday school
talk to accord with his average
pious demeanor.
But if he was silent in seven
languages, he did not play goll
Saturday morning, as is his Gus
tom, and that may mean that he
was perturbed in spirit.
Twenty nine million dollars ii
moi picked up every day. even by
the Standard Oil Company, which
has exceptional facilities for rak
ing in the coin.
Twenty-nine million, however
is small thing for such cor
poration. The moral effect O.
the conviction of such an outfi
as this trust is worth far NOR
and is more injurious to the trust
than the mere fine.

Importance Of Good Roads.

The town that has good roads lead
ing to it is blessed Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any
thing more adverse to the business
interests of place than impossible
boggy roads. There is a little excuse
in the well settled community for poor
roads. 1t may in the beginning be
somewhat expensive to put the roads
in order, but in the end it will prove
that the saving in wear and tear on
wagons and horses will well repay all
the additional expense. And to the
town good roads are almost vital. The
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to town
over GOOD roads than do his trading
when is necessary to go hub deep in
mud TO the nearer place.

Contrary to Home Building.

Trade is the life of the agricultural
town. Any system that diverts this
trade is injurious to the community
Here lies the evils of the mail order
system. BY drawing the trade from
the towns, the principal support goes
and with its going disappears the EN-
ployment for the people, the school
system, and the churches and all the
advantages that the town affords to
the people of the community. Not
alone this but home markets are de
stroyed and the farmer finds the value
of his land reduced. Have the impor-
tance of home trading and home sup
port instilled into the minds of the
farmers in general, and there will be
a rapid falling off of the catalogue
house patronage.

The Girl Who is Gentle.

BY the gentle girl is not meant the
girl who is gentle in heart and thought,
though she should strive to be BOTH
but the girl who is gentle in her move
ments and in her speech.
She does not knock against chairs as

When she talks and becomes inter-
ested in her subject she does not allow
her voice to become IA shrill tone that
is ear-piercing.
OF course, none of these things are
wicked, but they show lack of consid-

strain in one that does not belong to
the refined and lovable temperament.
The girl who is gentle learns to walk
quietly, to keep here eyes open so that
she does not trip over rugs, cushions.
chairs or tables.
The girl who is gentle realizes that a
sweet. low voice and a quiet manner
are more convincing of the power Of
womanhood than all the loud talking
and clustering imaginable.

KEEN INTELLIGENCE WANTED.
A Story That illustrated What Banks

Pierce Jay, the commissioner Of

Who Makes the Town?

The editor of the paper at Coyle,
Okla, asks in large letters, who
makes the town." To make a town
requires the work of many people. 1t
Is surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells his produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
to the express or post office and sends
it 70 the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter who is paid for preaching by the
business interests of the place, and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern
No brother, these men do not make
towns.

SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE eul.
WARk OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
TWO Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest ad-
vaneement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars OF the nation S
greatness, and in American citizen
snip is found the bulwark of our re
publican government.
Where the home life is ideal, there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
/ hghtenment and the domestic happi-
ness OF the people. How important it
Is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which Is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
/ opment all the strength that is neces-
| sary Tor the perpetuation of govern
ment and the maintenance of q ma
, ton greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
moil, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence of the love
OF country that should be found in the
hearts of its citizens. There is a duty
that involves upon all. and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make it attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open TO every citizen, and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deavof to found for himself and his
progeny residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States, 1t is important that the
home be located near good schools
Good schools are generally foupd
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged by
the standard of its educational insti.
tutions. 1t is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be its educational facilities for the
youth. 1t is essential to the greatest
good OF a community that it be real
lied by all residing within it that the
more wealthy it can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. BY sup
port to home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make it their first aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
iutes that good citizenship implies.

1t is impossible to build up towns
without there being business to en-

and poor schools and other blessings
