The increase in the newspaper business of the country has been most striking in the number of pounds oi paper used. Of the total amount oi paper manufactured in 1905 more than 900,000 tons were used solely for newspapers and periodicals, re. presenting almost one-third of the entire output of the paper mills of the United States. To make this paper required the services of nearly 15,000 men, and represented approxi- mately s9.000,000 in wages. These mills used as raw material 1,300,00O cords of spruce, poplar, and hemlock logs, representing the timber product of approximately 100000 acres, ex- elusive of the logs imported from Canada. Thus every working day in the year the forests of New England and ths%Middle states, with scatter ed areas elsewhere in the north and northwest. yielded approximately l. 765,OO0 feet of timber to be trans formed into the newspapers and mag azines required to supply the people of the United States.

STANDARD OIL co FINE.
It May Never Be Paid-Corporatior
 May Fail.

Washington, D. C., August s.-A good deal of stress has been. laid or the levying of fine of $29,240, ,00t against the Standard oil company oi Indiana. by Judge Landis of the U. s circuit court at Chicago. As a mat. ter of concrete fact, the real issue against the Standard Oil company was not involved in this case. The Standard cares little about the levy. ing of this fine, because 1t probably will be yeaIs before it can be col. lected, even if 1t be collected at all
 The Standard Oil company of In. diana is a subsidiary corporation oi the Standard oil company of New Jersey, the parent corporation. The Indiana concern has a capitalization of s1 1,000,000 and available assets of about $10,000,000. The government probably will have a serious time in collecting the fine assessed by Judge Landis. notwithstanding the fact, that, under the law, 1t may be just. The case. of course, will be appealed and, in the nature of things judicial, it will be long time before a final settlement of 1t is reached. In the end. even if the Standard shall have to pay the fine assessed by Judge Landis, the effect will be little or nothing. as it will not induce a dis solution of the company or put 1t into bankruptcy.
 In St Louis, however. a case against the parent Standard company is pending which menaces the very existence of the gigantic concern. It is proceeding brought. by the gov ernment under the Sherman anti trust act, to dissolve the oil trust and if the government should succeed in its contentious. the company will be placed in a most serious predica- ment- Naturally, the company will contest the case vigorously. but the consensus of opinion Is that the gov ernment eventually will win. This is the case which has caused genu- inc alarm among the Standard oil officials. for. if the government should succeed, the Standard oil Co will be forced to reIinquish It's mon oply on the oil industry of the coun- try.
 What conclusions the attorney general may reach will not be dis closed until some time in the autumn after he has had opportunity to thoroughly discuss the questions with President Roosevelt IL is reasonably certain. however. that the Standard Oil Co and the railroads guilty of giving rebates have a strenuous future h store for them.

As part of the war of the sexes

At a dinner in Ithaca, a plan of campaign was adopted by the men to get around the charter of Cornell university. un- der which complete separation and segregation are impossible. It is proposed that the female element is to be kept out of "class politics" on the ground that it Is a bad and vicious influence. We know not whether it is true or untrue that at elections the lady voters are weak enough to consider good looks in can- didates as of more importance than other qualifications and that they re- gard good manners as of more im- portanee than brains. 4 senior, made a good point.

 The admirers of Edgar Allan Poe, who, it will be recalled. were deeply grieved because he failed to be given a place in the hall of Tame at the election in 1905, have started cani- paign which they hope will secure him the necessary majority of votes when the next batch of names is selected, in 1910. Wire pulling in such con nection may seem very much out of place, but it has been resorted to in other instances and the admirers of Poe do not propose to be left in such a contest.-Kennebec Journal.

It will support Bryan in the next democratic national convention. At least that is the situation so far as Florida is con- cerned.

Highly CoIored Descriptions.

The highly colo1ed reports of the
visit of the lunacy commission to the
hospital for the insane here Tuesday,
which appeared in the Philadelphia
Inquirer and the North American yes
terday, caused a good deal of criticism.
Whatever the defects of the big
building may be it is a well-known
fact that it is not the appointed
prison house and the death trap that
it is described as being in the above
named papers. 1t overcrowding is re-
lieved, it is believed that the buildings
with slight improvements can be re-
tanned in use. Buildings constructed
within thirty years or so should not
be so antiquated as to be valueless.
The reports in the Philadelphia
newspapers are scarcely accurate IN
any particular. One of them emphas-
ICES the fact that there are no fire es-
capes ON the building at all, while ev-
cry person who has ever visited the
hospital has knowledge to the contrary
Representative of the city papers
present with the commission did not
seem to want news that related to any
Of the better features of the institu-
tion, but whenever they scented any
thing like a scandal their pencils be-
came very busy. This paper in its re-
port endeavored to present such facts
as would really enlighten its readers
as to some of the real problems that
face the commission.
1t did not dwell upon the deaths
that have occurred among the patients
while in the hands of attendants for
the reason that they were all sutfici-
emily aired in these columns when they
took place and all the facts were made
use of, which under the circumstances
it was possible to obtain.

Preparing Bill.

AS might have been CLEANED from
the report of council proceedings, Sat
urday morning, new move has been
made by our citizens in their endeav-
ors to get rid of the abandoned canal.
AS a result of the action taken by
council petition was presented to
the board of hospital trustees signed
by George B. Jacobs, Amos Vastine
and DR.. Juo Sweisfort, the special
committee of councilmen appointed by
Chairman Gibson. which in turn was
laid before the lunacy commission
when it met at the hospital for the in-
sane, Tuesday.
The petition reads as follows:
ITO the Trustees of the State hos
pital for the Insane at Danville:
You are hereby respectfully request
ed to kindly cal, the attention of the
luuacy commission during its coming
official visit to the said hospital TO the
condition o. the abandoned Pennsyl-
vania caual from the Western line of
the hospital property TO and through
the borough of Dauville with view
to their recommending to the State
legislature State appropriation for
the puIp Sc of partially defrayjng the
proper ana necessary cost OF piping
aud filling up the bed of the said por-
tiOn of said canal and of the abate-
meut of the nuisance occasioned by
the pollution of certain waters flowing
through and from the said hospital
property into the sad canal.
Chairman Walton read the petition
before the commission and without
entering upon discussion of the
merits of the propositionsaid it would
receive due attention aud ordered that
it be made matter of record.
Coincideut with the presentation OF
this petitiOn a bill is being drafted
asking the State Legislature to make
an appropriation equal to one-third
the cost of piping and filling up the
canal from the western end OF the
hospital grounds IN and through the
borough. The remaining two-thirds OF
the cost, it is thought can be provid-
ed for by the d. L. q W. railroad
company and the borough of Danville
by one of these or each paying equal
parts.
The hospital for the insane with the
consent of the D. l.. 81 W. railroad
company will fill up the canal, at the
hospital, which vii. divert the stream
of polluted water flowing into the old
canal at the western end of the hospit-
al grounds down through the borough.
1t is because of this water, the divert
ing of which the State is responsible
for that the legislature will be asked
to make an appropriation.
