DRAFT TED
!. FOR REHEAR|NG IN
STANDARD OIL CASE

Chicago, Aug. 1O,-District Attorney
Sims forwarded a copy of his draft
of petition for a rehearing of the
Standard Oil company appeal to Attor-
ney General Bonaparte today after
the finishing touches on it had been
completed and copies made by stenog-
raphers Not until the petition has
received the approval of the attorney
general, will it be filed or made pub
lie.
1t is generally believed that among
the points raised in the petition are:
That the appellate judges misappre-
hended the record of evidence bearing
upon the question of intent and GRIM
inal knowledge, failed to recognize
certain rulings of Judge Lands and
misunderstood and misstated Judge
lands declaration in regard to the
part played in the alleged law viola
.tions of the Standard OIL company of
Indiana, by the parent corporation,
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey
A number of flaws of this nature
are said to have been found by the
district attorney in the higher courts s
opinion.

FRUIT CROP
Nothing to Boast of Is the observa-
ton of c. w. Faust.

The fruit crop in northern Ohio
will not be anything to boast of for
the season of 1908. Celery is the only
thing which will yield anywhere near
full crop. Everything else will range
from mediocre to bad. According to
G. w. Faust, an authority on fruit
in this part of the country, the early
spring was too dry and too cold to
insure anything like the normal
amount OF fruit. The fruit in general
was stunted in the bud. That which
has lived however, has had a reason
able chance of existence, In the len
iency of the summer. Peppers and
egg plants are an exception to this
however, for the cool nights of part
of the summer have severely injured
these.
Although Mr.. Faust does not expect
much more than twenty-five per cent
Of the plum crop to come out we'll,
there will be enough to supply all
demands. The same applies to
peaches of which there will be but
half a crop. Apples are bad from
start to finish There will be but
half crop of both fall and winter
apples. Peas will make good to about
the extent of one-third of a crop.
Up to the present time potatoes
have been in bad way, but rains
may bring them out better than was
at first thought. At the present time
only one-third of a crop is expected.
Some of the farmers in the vicinity
of Canton are dispairing of any crop
at all. The crop of beans is not all
that could be expected. There will
be some but not many; perhaps not
enough to supply the usual demand.
There will be a fair supply of peppers
and egg plant.
Cauliflower is one of the few things
which will nearly come up to expec-
tations, but unfortunately. little was
expected of it. There will also be a
fair crop of melons. Mr., Faust ex-
poets fve per cent of the crop to
make good.

is superintendent of the Missionary
Department of the Ohio Christian En-
deavor Union and at the present time
is travelling through the state de-
livering short addresses to confer
ences of workers. and answering ques-
tions relating to the work. The idea
Of the trip is to infuse into the So
cieties throughout the state the spirit
which all the delegates receive at the
district convention.
The meeting last evening was open
ed with short song service. Half
of the societies in the city were rep
resented; six out of twelve Mrs

tions were handed around printed on
slips of paper. These were for the
audience to ask. Mrs. Busset answer
ed them They related to the aim the
work and the result of missionary
work. Especially they covered the or
ganization and carrying on of the
missionary work in the Christian En-
deavor societies and the duties of the
missionary committee of each.
After a time the discussion turn
ed to the organization OF a Missionary
Study club in Canton There has
been a club of this kind among she
Canton societies for the last TWO
years, but there has been no indica-
tion that the idea would be carried
further 1t was found that the lack
of a leader was the cause of the in
ability TO start one, A remedy for
this was found by having a leader
for the whole county who should trav-
ell from place to place throughout the
county conducting the clubs at all
points. A leader from Alliance could
easily be secured for this purpose
The expense would be paid by the
county union.

A Lost Opportunity.

1t is to be regretted that the
republican party management in
this state did not rise to the oppor-
tunities which presented them
selves and become one of the first
states to hold it's convention and
declare for Secretary Taft for
president. There was never a
more golden opportunity to place
the state in the very front rank in
a matter Of national Importance,
and there was never more signal
failure to meet such opportunity.
Sentiment in. North Dakota so
far as the rank and file of the
republican party was concerned,
and that is the only portion Of the
party which should receive consid.
Grafton, was crystalized for Taft
within twenty-four hours after
the final declaration from Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he should not,
under any consideration, be allowed
to head the national ticket. Taft
sentiment was being created thru
out the nation at that time and the
declaration of a state convention
in his favor would have showed
that state to the very front in the
development Of the greatest nation
al contest that the country has
has ever witnessed. With the
party convention covering the
entire state delegation and not one
congressional district as in the case
in the majority Of the states, the
party could have made a record
that would have given it and the
state national prestige had the
convention been called weeks ago.
as it could have been done.
Now in the last days of the cam.
paign wien the nomination of Taft
is more than assured, the party
and the state is forced into the
position of being band wagon
seekers rather than leaders of Taft
sentiment. The greatest opportu.
nifty that the state ever had was
wilfully thrown away and the ad.
vantage is lost.-Evening Times

AN ODE TO {. B. LITTLE

Nor bail out the sea with kettle.
You can't build bridge with marsh-water reed,
Nor vet make a statesman of Little.
If you raise up structure you know will be strong
You won't put in stuff that is brittle
If you're going to build solid to endure very long
You will use something big,-not Little
No matter what logic another's may be,
Facts are changed not jot or little,
You can't make an elephant out Of flea
Or call a man great-if he's Little.
And SO when election day wanders around
You can sit on barrel and whittle,
And bet your next neighbor thorough bred hound
That Hansbrough is bigger than Little.
