men who had espoused the cause OF
the innocents could claim victory.
Uncle Sam took a hand in the fight
and put himself at the head Of the
little band of bird partisans. The men
who engaged in the conflict had first
to overcome that most potent OF all
weapons, ridicule. They were called

blows they struck soon knocked the
thought that they were weakling SEN

eTANDARD OIL DECISION.

The chance of Uncle Sans ever col
lecting the s2s, 240.OO0 fine imposed by
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands upon
the Standard OIL company has I'M
doubtedly gone glimmering The action
of the circuit court of appeals in re-
versing the lower court and remanding
the case for new trial in accordance
with its findings precludes the possi-
bility of a successful issue so far as the
government is concerned. The enor-
nous size of the fine attracted atten-
ton throughout the civilized world,
and very few people expected the COM
pany would ever be compelled to pay it.
Indeed, il was even limited that the ac-
ton of Judge Lands was mainly in
tended as a gentle reminder as to what
might happen in the future If the giant
corporation continued TO defy the law,
rather than with the idea in view that
the vast sum would actually be COL
lected. An appeal to the supreme court
means long delay. and public interest
will have abated long before a conclu-
sion is reached.

I INITIATING GlASMANN.

In his palmy days before folks got
onto his curves, so to speak, Bill Glas-
mann was in great demand as a cam
paign spellbinder in the outside dis
tricts. This was not because Bits pull
chritude charmed the masses, nor be-
cause the melody OF his voice lured
voters from the opposition. Far from
IL. But Bill had certain glorious dis
regard for facts and an ingenuity I'm the
manufacture of political history that
disconnected his foes. If Bill was con-
fronted with proof that he had bent
the truth at right angles il never feaZed
him; If he was caught red-handed forg-
ing tariff figures it never 50 much as

peculiar way. William was Of advan-
tage to Republican campaign commit
tees. and being Republicans. they used
him-always i'm the outlying districts
where his reputation was unknown
Now Glasmann's ability was almost
phenomenal i'm his peculiar line but its
genuity shown by the opponents of the
Salt Lake bond issue. Either in the
manipulation of figures or the manu-
facture of history, Bill was a raw am
ateur. mere verdant tyro compared
with the statiSticians of the bond oppo-
stion. They have already proved that
an overdraft Of half million dollars in
June portends surplus Of over 500. 900
In December. They have shown that
the council will not dare to raise the
tax rate if the bonds are defeated. and
that the tax rate will be raised whether
the bonds are voted or not. They DEM

money with outrageous extravaganza,

A LITTLE OLD LAND.
baltimore SUM


A little old land with funny old way
OF shining tomorrow and raining today;
A little old land with little green heart
And bloom for the hills and beam for
the mart:
But over its meadows and down in the
sea
This little old land seems a good land
TO me,
A little old land with song for the
morning,
And lots of good green for the fair fields
adjoining;
A peak and a valley. a glen and a stream,
And lilies to lean DER our lips while we
dream:
Sombre and cloudy, when that seems the
best
But a good land for toll and a good land
for rest.
A little old land. with a bright sky one
minute,
And then the soft rain with a sweet bal
sam in it;
A little old land. with the rill and the
river.
And love with the roses to fill up its
culver:
Bird-song and rose-bloom. and all the
way over
The blue skies of love and the white
lanes of clover,

bishop POTTER.

Henry Goldman Potter, Protestant
Episcopal bishop of New York, died full
of years and honors Tuesday evening
The passing of Bishop Potter is of
more than ordinary interest, from the
fact that he was generally considered
to be the leading clergyman of the de-
nomination to which he belonged in this
20 Potter of Pennsylvania, and coadju-
tor to his uncle, Horatio Potter. bishop
of New York. whom he succeeded, the
family being noted for the number of
church dignitaries it has produced.
The late bishop was born in 1884. and
began the study of theology immedi-
ately upon passing through the common
schools. He was honored with degrees
by Harvard, Yale, oxford and Cam
bridge, as we'll as by many of the
smaller universities. He was an author
of note. as well as a preacher of excep-
tional ability in the pulpit. Coming so
soon after the death of Rev. Morgan
Dix, a void not easily filled will be left
IN New 4 Ofk Cnurcn circles.
Bishop Potter was a man of affairs
as well as clergyman. and played his
part as a citizen when occasion re-
quired He had a theory a few years
ago that he could wean the working
men from the dives of New York by
starting "a saloon at which tea and
coffee would be served as well as
drinks of a more baneful character. and
was the subject of much ridicule and
finally failed for want of patronage.
There used to be story told of which
the late William NJ. Evarts, secretary
of state under the Hayes administra-
ton, figured as the hero. 1t seems that
the Potter family, which is numerous
as well as distinguished, gave BAN
quet, to which Mr.. Evarts was invited.
When the time came for him to make
a few appropriate remarks, Mr. Evarts
rose, sized up the company around the
table. closed his eyes and said: 20,
Lord, thou art the clay and we are the
Potters" The effect can be better inn
agined than described.
Mrs. James Brown Potter. who raised
such a furore some years ago by read
ing "Ostler Joe" in polite society, and
afterward went on the stage, was
member of the family by marriage, and
they were said TO be greatly scandal
lied by her performance.

AN ECONOMICAL IDEA.
philadelphia Press.)

THE late Walter A. Wyckoff, the
tramp professor of Princeton said a
magazine editor, had. in his trampinS
days, many a quaint experience.
He was talking to me one night about
political economy. He wanted TO prove
that | was wrong in my claim that la
bor-saving inventions robbed poor men Of
work. He said at the arguments end.
that he was reminded of a conversation
he overheard in 1900 on a tramp in Penn
sylvania.
They were digging he began, filter
beds on the outskirts of Philadelphia with
a steam shovel. The wonderful shovel,
whistling and grunting, would dart into
the earth. jerk out again. and swing up
merrily toward the waiting car, loaded
with a ton of dirt.
Two laborers stood beside Wyckoff.
They watched the quick and ureless
shovel scoopine up and dumping into the
car a ton of drl at a lick. Finally the
younger laborer said. with an oath;
Amt it a shame, George, to shovel
dirt that way
How so? said George. the elder la
borer.
why. that there machine is takin'
bread out of the mouths of 800 men what
would be required 20 do the same work
with hand shovels.
George laughed
Go on he said: YOU don't reason

would give work to 800 men with shovels,
why not get 5000 men with teaspoons for
the Job? "
