THAT $4,000, 900 FINE OF
THE STANDARD OIL

CHICAGO, July 25.-President
Roosevelts statement on the Standard
Oil decision had the effect of a gal
vanic battery on the governments le-
gal forces in Chicago. District At
torney Sims and his assistants are
straining every nerve to regain the
big fine which slipped through their
fingers in the decision of the court of
appeals. The government prosecutor
realizes that to go to trial again would,
even in the event of a conviction,
mean much smaller fine He, there
fore, bases his hope on the theory of
Attorney General Bonaparte that Is.
sues may be taken to the United
States supreme court through the ap-
plication OF writ Of certiorari. The
course of action now mapped out by
the government is understood to in.
clude an application by the attorney
general for writ Of certiorari and a
petition for rehearing in the United

NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AN AID IN
THE SPREADING OF CRIME.

The yellow journals of today have
more to do with the spreading of
crime than any other agency.
Their tendency is to hunt out all
the nauseating details OF revolving
crimes and red letter them on the
front page.
No matter how pure-minded the
reader may be. after perusing such a
column, It is bound to leave a repel-
liant cloud on even the clean mind
And imagine what the effect must be
on an evil-minded degenerate.
The foul details add fuel to his dis
torted imagination and probably lead
him to the commission OF a crime
twice as terrible.
And yet the idea is held by q great
many that the publication of crime is
leading to Its suppression! How abb
surd! Why. II you will notice for
yourself-when the details of some re-
voting crime are published-it is
only n matter OF month or more until
another crime. almost parallel to that,
Is committed in another part of the
country. And then we say, "Why,
why. this crime-wave that sweeps upon
u.s."
Some people say. 20. well, what's
the use of a newspaper II we can't
have the whole TRUTH"
We want the truth, but do we need
the whole truth? Especially in crime?
Let the proper officers deal with the
whole truth and the criminal but let
the newspapers suppress nauseatlng
details.
We are of the opinion that publlca-
tion of crime leads more to It's agra
walton than its suppression.
Hurrah! we say for the paper that
suppresses revolving details. T. s.

We want to hike off to the cool old

And drink natures beauties in.
We want to chase speckled beauties,
Or sit In the pine trees shade:
We want to tease the mosquito.
Or chase bears through the glade.
We want to sit down by the campfire,
When the cool OF the evening creeps
on,

With never a chance for yawn.

To the bears and the bugs and the
