The Shakespeare of two centuries ago
was not the Shakespeare of the last

so he delights the rude throng with
Itrenchant wit and hoarse laughter.
yet sings to the finest ear in measures
unapproachably faultless.
His greatest service, perhaps, is to
be found in the fact that he gave the
world an inexhaustible body of essen
tial and practical truth in the best
form; by which I mean truth stated
beautifully. nobly, and engagingly.
What a wealth of it, and how accurate
answering to life as the courses Of
the stare answer to mathematics. But
the truth of Shakespeare is more
than exact, more than the mirror held
up to nature and humanity; it is truth
with its heavenly radiance and native
glory. Montague tells us the truth in
plain and homely ways, and flutarch
prattles it like child; but Shake
speare penetrated Into the temple OF
truth, and brought it forth in its shin
ing robes and made it speak in its di-
vine accents. 1t is one thing to see
truth as the reality of things; it is an
other to behold the glory and majesty
and strength and beauty of truth.
This is the high achievement of
Shakespeare; ,nat the eternal secret,
the spiritual essence. the absolute ma
ture of any truth he touches, is re-
vealed in his statement of it.
Such work as this is to be put by
the side of Magma Charta and habeas
corpus and trial by jury, and the Dec
laration of Independence-as real
contribution to humanity and civiliza-
ton. What does man more need;
what richer heritage can he have than
the truth pertaining to himself, put in
exact and noble form? This, We coll
csive, is the crowning glory of Shakes
peare; this is what puts him above the
homely Socrates, the dreaming Plato,
the plodding Aristotle, and the whole
race of philosophers,-that he has re-
vealed humanity to itself, and made IL
feel its own greatness and glory
but we must not ask or one mortal
man 20 be the revealer of two worlds.
He has shown us one; he uttered no
syllable that forbids us to believe in
another. Nay, he has made this world
SO great and beautiful that of itself it

AN OFFICIAL REPORT.

Coincident with the judgment of the
federal court at Chicago against the
Standard Oil company came report
by Commissioner of Corporations
Smith covering the operations of that
company.
The report says the company is re-
sponsible for the prices of petroleum
during the past % years and that it
has used its power to raise the price
of those products during the past 10
years.
The claim of the trust that it has
reduced the price of oils through its
methods of doing business is annihi-
lated. The cost of the crude material
has gone down and the cost of the fin
ished product has not gone down in

WEATHER FOR LAST OF AUGUST

According to Rev Hicks we are to
have the following weather the last
half of this month.
A reactionary storm period is cen
tral on the 18th, 18th and 18th. As
this period begins it will grow much
warmer, first in the west, the barome-
ter will fall and reactionary storms of
rain, wind and thunder pass eastward
ly across the country, reaching their
eliminating stages on and touching
the 18th and 10Th.
A regular storm period covers in
perturbing power the 2lst to the 26th.
During this period the moon passes
perigee on the 2lst, full on the 23rd
and celestial on the 10Th. The Venus
disturbance, which is central in Sep
tember, will also affect storm and
weather conditions of this period.

SENATORIAL PERQUISITES.

Again the clerk of the senate OF the
United States makes up his itemized
statement of expenditures from the
senates contingency fund, and an awed
country peruses it with swelling APP
probation of the extraordinary dignity
of a senator. Congress having gone
dry the senators took to the various
waters, mineral, lemonade, and others
for which over $1,000 was spent. 1t
took $50 case of mineral water cost
ing 81, ,504 to moisten senatorial throats
while S3lS went for sugar and lemons.
But senator's have other needs than
drinks which they prefer to have Uncle
Sam and his family pay for rather
than go down in their own pockets.
Twelve thousand dollars went for ar
ticles grouped under the embracing
title of stationary. Besides pens, inks
and paper, this term covers such un-
related items as arm bags, hand bags,
probably for the Mrs. Senators, glove
and handkerchief sets, collar boxes,

oily was encouraged to feel that its
power was supreme.
Many of the facts set forth in Com
missioner Smiths report have been
known in public way during the past
eight years, have been brought out
by Investigations upon which no ac-
tion was ever taken. The time now
seems ripe for an attack on Standard
Oil Methods and they are being as
saulted all along the line with effec-
tive force.

character that may read their doom

McCook county farmers The farm

and contract, the talk represent
ing that an agency will find purchas-

The contract stipulates that the land
shall be advertised for sale and that
when the agency" has fulfilled its
part of the contract, that is advertis-
ed for purchaser, it can collect so
cents per from the farmer. A lawsuit

like proportion. Through its practical
monopoly of the business it has wild
ened the margin of its profit.
Commissioner Smith sums up in the
closing paragraph of his report, say
ing:
The following facts are proven: The
Standard has not reduced margins
during the period in which it has been
responsible for the prices of oil. Dur
ing the last eight years covered by
this report (lS98 to l905) it has raised
both prices and margins. It's domina-
ton has not been acquired or main.
tanned by it's superior efficiency, but
rather by unfair competition and by
methods economically and morally un-
justifable. The Standard has super
ior efficiency in running its own busi-
ness; it has an equal efficiency in de-
stroying the business of competitors
1t keeps for itself the profits of the
first and adds to these the monopoly
profits secured by the second. It's
profits are far above the highest pos
sible standard of reasonable com
mercial return, and have been steadily
increasing. Finally the history of
this great industry is history of the
persistent use of the worst industrial
methods, the exaction of exorbitant
prices from the consumer, and the Sc
curing of excessive profits for the
small group of men who ever long
series of years have thus dominated
the business
Few people have been found during
the past half a dozen years to defend
the methods of the oil trust. 1t has
been anathematizedi in all quarters and
it has not cared. 1t has pursued its
autocratic course iD a defiant way and
it was to large an establishment for
individuals to attack.

the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt at the
white house, was culpably remiss in

This period may be put down as a
decided seimic period, entering on
the % and covering the whole period.
The telegraph will report seimic
shakes in widely different parts of
our planet. In every probability trop-
ical storms, calling for watchfulness
and care, will reach our southern coast
very close to this period. The bar
ometer will also give timely indica-
ton Of active inland storms between
the 22nd and 10Th In case of low
barometric conditions in the south,
northerly winds and high barometer
will follow inland storms from the
northwest, making frosts more than a
possibility in northern sections dur
ing the last week in August.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 10Th, 30th, and 3lst. 1t
is well known fact that great tropi-
cal storms, coming up from equatorial
regions, out live, as rule, the limita-
tions of the ordinary storm periods.
This is true especially in case where
the Venu> equinox and other astron-
omic causes unite with earth equinox.
But in all such cases it is safe to say
that these storms take on renewed en-
ergy and violence as they run into
storm periods next following those in
which they originate. Hence, if trop-
ical storms appearing at the period
2lst to 26th outlived that period they
will grow in strength and magnitude
as they reach our coasts and march
into our interior during the closing
days of the month

naturally and appropriately under
that term, and we are surprised to
find no mention of clipping bureau
bills.
Under the head, probably miscel-
laneous, the clerk grouped lot of
things which senatorial tastes need
but which senatorial incomes are too
slender to buy. One shirt trunk ap
pears along side of zone old horse
shoe, 'the latter for the chairman Of
the committee on horse marines. The
same senate that added the anti-pass
provision to the rate bill took 50 worth
of pass cases. Which one had dol
lar mouse trap bought for him would
be worth knowing, and was it a sena-
tor from Montana who got the two
branding irons? 1t was not the bald

Grafton back has been cents, but un-
der the new order of things the retail
er is obliged to charge 7 cents. There
is absolutely no well founded argu
ment in support of a protective tariff
on cotton articles of any description.
We raise our own cotton and should
be able to manufacture it at a profit
cheaper than the foreigner can man
ufacture and pay freight and insur-
both ways. The old cry in favor Of
such tariff was "higher wages for
American labor" but the fact that
prices of commodities are raised with
great regularity, while labor has to
organize anG scheme to hold even the
old standard of wages, has exploded
that theory. The cotton manufac-
lures have taken steps to kill the
goose that laid the golden egg; they
have brought home to the people an
illustration that is more readily COM
pretended than that taught by the
steel and kindred trusts because they
touched all the people directly, in
stead of doing it indirectly and
through some other interest that must
touch the people in roundabout
way. Tariff revision is bound to come
and the protected interests" are do
ing their best to bring it about.

The people of Mississippi have act
ed wisely in endorsing Congressman
John Sharp Williams for the L. S.
senate against Governor Vardman. 1t
was simply case of brains against
hair. Williams is an able man, one
who has the best interests of the
country at heart, although we may
not agree with him on political issues.
His opponent, the present governor
of the state, attempted to ride the
"nigger' issue into the senate. His
entire campaign was an appeal to the
prejudices of the whites against the
blacks. Vardman claimed that, if
elected, his constant endeavor should
be the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment of the constitution. Williams
claimed that the color question could
be taken care of locally better than
by stirring up the nation by an at
tempt to change the constitution on a
point which would be liable to antag-
onize the north. Williams is right
The people of the north, as whole
take very little interest in, and are
willing to leave the settlement of, the
race question to the people of the
south who are more interested. They
do not approve of the jingo mouthings
of such men as Vardman, however.
