The fashion Of wearing the turn
down embroidered linen collar has
created a demand for a proper recep-
tacle for them. and this comes IN the
form Of book covers about Is inches
long and six inches wide. These are
covered on the outside with cretonne
or silk and on the inside with a sheet
of perfumed cotton over which Is
white linen. Straps of cotton are
sewed across the covers about three
inches from either end, and through
these the ends Of the collars are slip
ped. This keeps them perfectly fat
and in a much more convenient form
than a collar box, The covers fold to-
gether and tie with ribbon, giving a

But there was "The Holy Roman Empire"
there was the Emperor; there was "the Daugh-

the firing Of the oriental imagination of the
"Corsican adventurer,' Napoleon Bonaparte.
The Austrian alliance attracted him as a
student of history, and as conqueror bent
upon founding a dynasty. In shadowy way,
the Emperor of Germany had been the suc.
cessor of the imperialism Of Rome. The Aus
trian House had held the scept1e which, in
form, had been handed down to modern Fu-

riage with Maria Louisa, Napoleon dreamed
he was uniting the Present with the Past, his
newly erected throne with that which had been
longest established, his plebeian blood with
that of long line Of kings. Enveloped in
considerations like these, the greatest man the
world ever saw took by the hand the Daughter
of the Caesars, led her to the throne which his
own genius had created-and thus fell into
that "abyss covered with flowers" into which

Editorial Notes.

The Business Magazine, of Knoxville,
Tenn wanted to know what harm the Steel
Trust is doing.
Will its editor please sit up and pay atten-
ton while that debate goes on between the
Steel Trust magnates and the Railroad bosses?
The latter allege against the former that the
lack of competition in the making of steel rails
explains the reck1essness with which the Trust
sends out defective rails to be laid on the road
bed. These defective rails cause enormous loss
of human life They are carelessly, hurriedly
made because there is no competition, because
the Trust has monopoly, and because of the
greed for dividends upon that immense
amount of water which Morgan, Carnegie,
Frick, Schwab Corey & Co. poured into the
Trust stocks at the organization of the Trust.
What diabolical situation!
The Railroads, in a mad rush for dividends,
buy rails from the Steel Trust which is also in
a mad rush for dividends, with the result that
they together are strewing the earth from sea
to sea, from Lakes to Gulf, with the wounded,
the dying and the dead-just as though
armies were on the move, fighting a pitched
battle every few weeks
The world never saw such an era of barbar-.
ity in business, favoritism in legislation, outra
geous wrong doing in the name of Govern
ment.
Corey, President of the Steel Trust, bought
release from his wife, bought an engagemnt
with an actress bought preacher toBtie the
knot and then skipped out to Europe to have
a good time 1t cost the President of the Steel
Trust about four million dollars to shuttle off
the old wife and hook up with the new one

night against the trial and conviction of Hay
wood q Meyer. Watson is courageous and
honest but labor will not love him for that
statement"
If Brother Tobin can produce any word of
tongue or pen that Mr.. Watson ever uttered,
or wrote, sustaining the above statement, we
will send him, collect, brand new set of
Shakespeare, upon which the Southern EX-
press Company in Atlanta made one of our
innocent, but we'll meaning employees pay ST.
express charges, by way of condition precedent
to taking it out of the Express Office-the set
usually sells for $2.25, and is not dirt cheap
even at that.
What Mr.. Watson did say concerning the
Moyer-Haywood- -Pettibone case was in sub
stance, this:
That the revolutionary Socialists-the fell
lows who rave at all private ownership of prop
cry, tote red flags, parade the streets howl
ing the Marseillaise and jabbering in foreign
languages, hiss the mention of the name of the
flag Of the Union, tear it down and tread upon
it-had taken possession of some Labor Or
ganizations in the big cities of the North and
West and had committed these Unions to the
lawless proposition that the accused officials
of the Western Federation of Miners should
not be put to death, even though the evidence
might prove that they were guilty of one of
the most deliberate most cruel, most brutal,
and most cowardly murders known to the an
mails of crime!
Mr.. Watson contended that those Labor
Unions who had allowed the hag-trampling
Socialists to commit them to lawless propo-
sition of that kind had gone wrong.
Don't you think too, Brother Tobin?
The truest friend to the working classes
and Mr.. Watson has always been their friend
will tell them when they 60 wrong, just as
he will fight for them when they go right
There are but two classes of men who never,
under any circumstances, give to the honest,
law abiding working. men the inestimable ben
eft Of wise, candid, fearless advice-the dema-
gogues and the towards.
Mr.. Watson hopes he does not belong to
either class.

Ever since I was little boy it has been a

The preacher who was bought for about
$1,000 to perform the ceremony of marry
ing" Corey to his actress, got ashamed of his
share in the transaction after he realized that
he was ruined man, unless he repented, and
returned the bribe. He did repent and he did
return the bribe.
The Judas money became hateful to him.
But he can no more undo consequences than
Judas could.
Honor to Governor Hughes of New York!
In spite Of all that the corrupt Republican
boss, Raines, could do; in spite of the treacl-
erous aid which Democrats like Grady and
McCarren gave to Raines in spite of the cold
water which Hearst and his papers threw up
on the reform measures-Governor Hughes
has won out, gloriously. Hereafter, the Pub
lie Service Corporations in New York will

Shouldn't wonder if Hughes were President,
some day.
Mr.. SchWab, one of the magnates of the Steel
Trust, stated that steel rails could be sold at
$I2 per ton, at profit. The Steel Trust ex-
acts $50, per ton Taking as true Mr.. Schwab's
statement that the rails could be made here for
$12 per ton at a profit, you may readily see
what robbery is involved in charging $40 per
ton.
No wonder the President of the Trust can
afford to spend four million dollars to get him
self fresh young wife
Investigation shows that the watering of
railroad stock was abandoned many years
ago
SO sayeth The Jonesboro Enterprise
In the New York World, Democratic, under
date of May 10, 1907, we find special from
Albany, New York stating that "Since Jam
uary I, 1907, when the first work of drafting
the Utilities bill was begun, the railroad cor
poratons have received the consent of the
Commission to issue stocks and bonds aggre-
eating more than fifty million dollars The
greater part of this represents issues of stock
approved within the last month"
In other words, the Hughes Public Utili-
ties bill is intended to put stop to the evils
of stock-watcring; and the railroads were fill
ing up with water before the bill could be
made law.
Yet here is a newspaper, in Georgia, telling
the people to be quiet and let the railroad rob-
bers alone because "the watering of railroad
stock was abandoned many years ago."
