that may be depended upon to provide

WIFE OR cHlLD-WHlcH7

Some time ago George was Dragging
about never having told a lie, and he
said he never would. An lrlshman
hearing the assertion made a wager
with George that he could make him
teel a lie in two minutes.
So Pat began: "Supposing you and
your little child and her friend were
out in a boat for a row; the boat sud
denly capsized, and you were all
thrown into the water Now, which
child would you save?y asked Pat
Well" answered George. under
the circumstances, Il should save my
own in preference to any one else's
child"
Very good answered Pat. Now,
suppose you and your wife and child
were out for a row. aud the boat cap
sized Now, which Of them would
You save, your wife or your child?'
After a thoughtful pause. George
answered that he would save his wife.
There you are" cried Pat. "You
said at first that you would rather
save your child in preference to any
one else's; but now you say that you
would save your wife. who is some
body else's child."-Chicago Journal.

GOOD AND BAD TRUSTS.

There did not seem TO be any such
righteous dislike of these Standard
Oil and other trust representatives
ranking in the bosom of Mr.. Taft
on the occasions to which 1 refer.
On the contrary he acted like a good,
sensible, honest-minded man who
really enjoyed the company he was
keeping and the entertainment he
was receiving, and who recognized,
as the late Senator Hanna was ac-
customed to say. that there were
good trusts as well as bad and ev-
en- decent people in the employment
Of the Standard Oil Company as well
as Objectionable people, and all that
is to his credit
1T is also highly to mis- credit that
when, three years ago, the Presi-
dent had occasion to appoint a Unit
ed States district Judge for the North
ern district of Ohio, Mr.. Taft. know
ing the abilities and high character
Of John II. Doyle, OF his Standard
Oil firm OF Doyle and Lewis, did not
hesitate TO recommend him to the
President in strong language for ap-
pointment to that judgeship.
THE Standard Oil relation to
Judge Doyle. then we'll known to Mr.
Taft, did not prevent him from rec
ognizing his high character and gen.
eral fitness for such a sacred trust.
and I happen to know. as did Mr.
Justice Moody, who was then Attor-
ney General, that the President. on
the recommendation of Judge Taft.
was intending to appoint Judge Doyle
and would have done so, no doubt.
except that for reasons which did not
reflect on Judge Doyle, he finally
appointed Judge Robert w. Taylor.
But IL the Standard Oil was IN
good enough repute only three years
ago to warrant Judge Taft in recon-
meneing Judge Doyle and President

COURT UPHoLDs VIEW.

Already the commodities clause
has been held 10 be unconstitutional
by one of-the most respectable courts
i'm the country. IL is commonly ack-
nowledged that il Will be an absolute
disaster TO the whole country If the
supreme Court should reverse this
decision.
There We're other serious objec-
tions TO the rate bill that are now
making themselves painfully felt
'The announcement was recently
made that because of the abolition
of low through rates for our foreign
commerce. our transcontinental lines
have practically abandoned compe-
tition for Oriental trade. and that
all ships flying the American flag on
the Pacific are going out Of commits
sion. From the same cause rates on
shipments of grain for export have
been advanced from Buffalo to all
northeastern Atlantic ports from 8
to 3 y cents. and as a result it was
announced two or three weeks ago
that for the week previous more
grain had been exported from Mon
treal than from all the ports OF the
United States. other evil results
might be noted, but that is unneces-
without disparaging genuine NOR
ality, 1t can be truthfully said that
less imaginary and professional right
ness of action and moral AWAKEN
ing and more common sense in the
policies of the administration would
have been better for the country, ana
would have excited less of that op-
position OF which Mr.. Taft's letter
complains.

quences resulting from the enforce
