Our Political Trust Maqnates.

The Corn Products company, which
is in the glucose trust and is trying to
swallow up its competitors, is said to
be controlled by the Standard Oil peo-
pie. The Glucose Sugar Refining
company claims that it is being
bounded by Standard Oil, that it's
shares have been depressed to me
tenth their value. This has been &C
complished, is stated in the bill asking
that a receiver be appointed, by sales
of large quantities of stock on differ
ent exchanges in immense amounts
and buying it in again at a lower fig
ure. Some days nearly the full amount
OF the entire stock issue of $50, 000, 900
was sold, although the sales were
false and fraudulent. If these state
ments are true, and of curse they are
sworn to in the bill for the receiver,
the Rockefeller crowd are, in their eff
forts to wreck this industrial corpora
ton, even worse than the corrupt tao
tics employed by Hartman and his CO
conspirators to wreck the Alton rail-
road. AS the Rockefellers and Harri-
man are associated together as the
leaders of their section of the frenzied
financiers of Wall street, it is impos-
sible to escape the conclusion that
everything touched by them is faint.
ed with fraud and corruption.
AS they are all Republicans, and, in
deed, Mr.. Hartman was delegate to
the last Republican national owen
tion and was enthusiastic for the re-
nomination of President Roosevelt, it
is further evidence of the ease with
which the millions are obtained for
campaign funds to corrupt and de-
ceive the voters. But it is well to re-
member that something is always ex-
pected in return for these millions and
the Republican politicians generally
are free to furnish that something.
With such leaders how can the Re-
publicans be trusted to give the peo-
pie a square deal?

THE STORY.

CAMUEL watched with more than
- usual interest the preparations
which we're going forward for the SOL
emn celebration of the Passover feast,
for not only was he to have a part
in the celebration but he knew his
mother would come. 1t had been a long
year to the young boy. His brave little
heart had found comfort in the
thought that he belonged to the Lord
and that he was in the temple to serve
him, but at times there was the hun
gering In his heart for the love and
comfort which only a mother knows
how to bestow. But she had faith
fully prepared him for the separation,
for from his earliest recollection she
had filled his heart and thought with
the place he was to take In the tenn
pie service, and when at last the
time had come that he was to go up
with her to Shiloh, a childish sense of
the dignity and Importance made him
brave and willing to remain behind
while his mother returned home. AS
she had embraced him and pressed a
warm, tender kiss upon his brow at
parting she had said:
Remember, son, against another
year / will come hither to see thee.
See how much Of good thou canst
have to tell me concerning thy serv-
Ice In the Lords house."
He had often thought of the words,
and they had comforted him in the
lonely hours and encouraged him
when his heart had grown faint and
weary with the monotonous routine OF
the simple daily tasks. He had been
brave and steadfast and SO apt and
faithful a student had he proved that
at last he had been included among
those who played upon the musical in
struments in the temple service, and
his first thought had been of his
mother and how proud and pleased
she would be on her return at the
time of the feast now near at hand to
find him filling such a place.
So impatiertly he had counted the
days until the first day Of the feast.

Republican Factions Fighting.

Boss Cox of Cincinnati, whose Pc
culiar political practices led to his
retirement two years ago by an
aroused people, seems to be again in
the Republican saddle and is now
taking a hand in the Republican ma
tional game OF politics. The time
was when "Coxey old boy" was quite
satisfied to boss the grating Repub-
licans of Cincinnati, but now aims to
be the great national peacemaker be-
tween the Roosevelt and Foraker fac
tons in Ohio. The Coxey programme
is to give all the leaders a nomination
and save the Republican party. That,
of course, includes making Coxey
boss of Cincinnati again. Any Re-
publican can play in the Coxey game
if he has the wherewith to buy the
chips and will aid Coxey IN regsining
his lost supremacy as boss. This and
other startling political events in Ohio
would indicate that the president and
Secretary Taft have made a treaty
of peace with Boss Cox for offensive
and defensive political purposes.
Senator Foraker, however, does not
propose to sit into the political game
with the cards stacked by his enemies
and although Republican leaders have
q way of getting together, so as to
control the spoils, no such deal has
yet been accomplished and will not
be if Senator Foraker and Dick are
not consulted and provided for. Hence
there is still blood on the Republican
noon.

Hartman Corruption.

The Wall Street Journal says that
the president has been urged mot to
proceed further against Hartman. on
the ground that such action would
tend to disturb the markets and thus
injure prosperity"
That was the argument urged to
stop the laying bare of insurance or
ruption. The revelations were not
stopped. Prosperity did net suffer.
Is Hartman corruption more sacred
than insurance corruption3

OIL Bottled in New England.

A large part Of the real olive oil
consumed in New York comes tn the
city by way of New England. The
olive oil men of California have
formed themselves into an association,
the members of which produce the
greater part of the ESQ, 1000 gallons OF
oil now the output Of this country
yearly. For the eastern trade they
have established a big bottling plant
in New England. to which the oil Il
shipped In bulk.

energetic paeans over her success as
a doctor Or china painter or sales
woman-she is naturally in her need
Of money so thankful to have work to
do and Sc glad that she can do it
that she begins to think that when
she was sent into the world, to work
was to be her highest occupation.
1t is not true. There is not a fiber
In her body nor an impulse In her
nature which does not show that the
real primary business in life Is to be
a home-maker. the comrade OF q Hah

God in His wisdom may have denied
her that highest and best work, but
whatever else she may do she knows
in her heart that it Is the highest and
the best.

because they took it for granted that
no woman is a wage-earner except
from necessity and that when the ne
cessity is removed she would gladly
return to her old vocation-that OF

And why not?
The vocation of the lily Of the feld

little place on Gods earth brighter

The woman who makes her home a

dren and fits them in that home for
future life, has done enough.
She does not need to earn a single

Surely we are all familiar by this

In a narrow path; in her life, as in

But this queen of the present hour
has a thousand parts to play. You

l CONFESS L DO not understand This
%belligerent attitude in the modern
woman, nor her vanity. Is she not
human, like the man? Has she not
the same fingers, eyes and tongue?
She is not a monkey nor a freak that
her clevernesS should be trumpeted
and paraded as abnormal in the pub
lie eye.
A. man when he invents a new plow
or paints a picture does not shout out:
II. mana man has done this! Not
q woman! See how superior the male
OF the race is to the femalei"
But we American women Of late
years never weary Of boasting Of the
doings Of our sex, and especially on
the ground that they are so much like
the doings of men!
1t is true that at the close Of the
civil war our women were forced to
compete with men for work and
wages in every part Of the field Of
labor. They had to make a place for
themselves then as wage-earners or
Starye. 1t was no wonder that they
were aggressive and sharp during that
time.
But why squabble and fight now?
The whole field is open to them. All
OF the fences are down. There is not
now, I believe, a single honest occupa-
tion by which a living can be earned
which is not open to a capable, decent
woman to try for it. Men give her
q fair field and much favor. Whether
she chooses to drive a garbage cart or
write a historic novel, they invaria-
bly, are kinder to her endeavors ard
applaud her more. loudly than If she
were a nan
Why, then, this incessant. defiant
assertion of woman's achievements
and possibilities?
This constant noisy boasting seems
to be akin to the loud cackling in the
ibarnyard of a hen over each new-laid
egg. as II an egg never had been laid
before.

The chief difference between her
and her northumberland it is a
very curious differences that the
older woman regarded herself SIM
ply as part Of the human race. The
man was its head, its spokesman.
She thought of herself as his child,
his wife or his mother.
The woman of to-day is not only
his equal but his antagonist. She
talks not of humanity but womanitv..
Every village has its club of women
who urge each other into new profess
sions, work or studies which have
hitherto been considered the business
of men only.
Every newspaper has a woman's de-
partment in which the successes of
the sex in wrestling trades and handi-
crafts from their brothers and hus-
bands are daily noted.
| saw to-day the announcement that
a woman was now filling a place as
brakeman on a western railway. This
fact is told with a hysterical sob of
triumph, as though when this ener-
getic young person laid her hand on
the brake she had dealt a fatal blow
at the foe of her sex and had made
for herself a long stride upward In
the scale of being.
In our national exhibitions, too,
there is always a woman's department
where statues, pictures, soaps, confec-
-tionery, ETC., made by our sex are ex-
hibited apart to prove that women
are as skillful with their fingers as
men.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-06-08

There is one pleasant fact, however.
which cheers and comforts us in all
these doubts and dangers. That is,
that the large majority Of American
women have kept their footing dur
ing all the struggles of their sex since
the close OF the civil a They have
earned money when it was necessary
to do it, but they have not raised
m~oney-earning to the highest place
among the achievements of life. They
have beer shrewd, amused listeners to
the feminine wrangles in clubs and
newspapers but are themselves usual
ly silent and unpublished. Occasion
ally they have exerted the power of
dumb resistance with most salutary
effect, as when for several decades
they have silently refused to claim the
right of suffrage.
They are best known by what they
do not do. They prefer to live In
homes, not in boarding houses and no.
tells. They are not childless mothers
nor divorced wives. They find no
higher code of truth to teach their lit
tie ones than that which Jesus brought
to the world. They do not replace It
by the sharp worldly wisdom of Con-
fucius or the vague %yearnings of
Buddhism. They answer all argu-
ments by the question: "Who has led
man so far upward as Christi" and go
on quietly teaching their children the
Sermon on the Mount.
You call them old-fashioned and
commonplace, perhaps. But they are
eminently SAN One of the strongest
roofs Of their sanity is that they are
content to be women and not imi-
tators Of men and that they still keep
In their lives that charm of modesty
and aloofness which the noisy minor
ity of our women have so foolishly
thrown aside.

AS for the woman who voluntarily
gives up her birthright-"to keep
house and be a joyful mother of chill
ren"-in order that she may busy her
self with public work, she is precisely
in the position of that mad English
peer of whom WI all read a few years
ago. who turned his back on his birth
right-castles, title and revenueS-in
order that he might tramp on the
high road grinding a hand-organ for
a dancing monkey.
She is. choosing the a part In
her ambition to exploit herself be-
fore the public. No club work is as
honorable or helpful as a gentlewom-
ans management of her home aEi fam
lily; nothing that her talents enable
her to give to the world-whether
book or statue or lecture-will ever
be as important or powerful an infu-
nee in it as a living child.
This is not a pleasant subject, but
when we read that the births Of chill
dren of native American parents have
fallen off one-half in certain northern
states in the last two decades, it sure
ly is worth our consideration. AS men
go, the native American is a whole
