LATHAM'S FLYING VISIT.

Hubert Latham, who has been chiefly
notable in the aviation world as the
man who failed twice to cross the Eng
lish channel, is nevertheless a pianist
of nerve and distinction. He may have
fallen short of the mark in the effort
to fly from France to England, but the
other day he proved his ability to put
the aeroplane to practical use in the
keeping of social engagements. In
vited to hunting party about nine
teen miles from his aviation garage
he loaded his gun and ammunition on
his machine and flew to his destina-
ton in thirty minutes against strong
head wind. After about four hours of
of game, reaching the garage in TWEEN
ty-five minutes.
These are not the days for skeptics.
Evidences are constantly accumulat-
ing that the conquest of the air has
been accomplished. A mi.;;on dollar
corporation has just been formed TO
manufacture machines in this country
to sell to individuals Who wish to adopt
this new sport. In all likelihood in five
years at the outside airplanes will be
so common that they will attract only
passing attention as they soar over
the fields and towns. Virtually every
city in the United States today has
at least one glider or airplane Inventor
of it's own, and these men working
along the same lines will soon have
the market as we'll supplied with prac-
ticable commercial machines as the
automobile market was a correspond
ing period after the perfection of the
"hOrseless carriage"

world to believe the contrary. The
man in the street" in England is alb
solutely convinced that the German
emperor is an enemy of England-an
enemy ever on the alert for an op-
portunity of invading her shores.
Every Warship turned out from a
German navy yard but intensifies that
feeling and tends to strengthen the
growing impression in England that
the future, and the near future, per-
haps, will see a gigantic conflict be-
tween the two countries for the SUI
premacy of the seas.
Meanwhile every naval dOckyard in
Germany is veritable hive of indus
try Warships are being launched,
are nearing completion or are being
laid on the stocks with unceasing
regularity, and while work on some
of Great Britains 1909 is not started
yet, Germany is already far advanced
in her program for 1910.

PROFANITY IN PUBLIC PLACES

The stage has become SO bold in it's
modern tendencies that the profanity,
bordering on blasphemy, in these days
is not to be marveled at, considering
the tendencies of the times. Profanity
on the stage is a reflection of profanity
in public A generation or two ago
people were repealed every time they
picked up one of the early English
novels or plays, because of the coarse
language, but in the present genera
ton there is too commonly heard on
every street, in the cars and public
corridors a constant stream of Ian
guage much coarser and much more
profane than exists in any of the class
sic early English literature, which I'M
der the old order was not admitted to
the fireside circle.
The indecencies of speech heard in
public places, in all cities, throughout
the country, particularly from youth
full lips, is one Of the most fragrant
evils of the age, and it is pity that
the stage, which does not have to pam
der to such tastes, should lend itself
to the propagation of so disgusting a
habit

INDIFFERENCE TO MANNERS.

There can be no manners without a
standard of tacit agreement in society
concerning them, and this standard
amounts to a dead letter unless it is
degree than is now done. The treat
ment from private and public servants
and from children to which gentlemen
and ladies submit without protest indi-
Gates that as an active principle of So
ciety manners have lost force. The fact
seems to be that a good many Ameri-
cans who have good manners act as
though they were heartily ashamed of
it, and hope that their children will not
find it out.
BY Indifference to the impoliteness of
servants, employers make life more
difficult for themselves and for society
just as mothers do who fail to exact
prompt and implicit obedience from
their children. Recently in certain
club a callboy, sent to find a member.
rushed into the smoking room with a
repeated and strident summons of
"Jones!" whereupon a gentleman drew
him aside and softly prompted him
with "Mr. Jones, if You please" This
action was a service not only to the
boy, but to every member of the club.
But how many 'hOuse committees"
consider these or score of such de-
linquencies worth discipline? And
where is the multitude of servants to
learn their trade if no one exacts of
them respect?

of the property. Speaking of the time
the will was made, he said:
MY mother was perfectly capable
mentally and understood the sitaution
fully. Every codicil of the will was
explained to ner by Attorney Bland
ford and to make the matter perfectly
clear it was gone over again and
again. The will was then signed by
her.
In his testimony he further stated
that all pictures, furniture, etc, was
to be equally divided among the three
children and that everything else had
been disposed by the terms of the will.
Many witnesses were called on both
sides and up to a late hour this after
noon the hearing was still in progress.

Mix Will
In Court

Endeavoring to break the will OF
Mrs Anna Nee. Mix, who died leaving
the bulk of her property to her son,
s. w. Mix, Sallie A. Converse, a
daughter, is in the superior court to-
day represented by Attorney Garrecnt,
of the firm Garrecht, Dunphy &
Evans, and also by Sharpstein &
Sharpstein. The defense has retained
as legal advisors, H. S. Blandford and
Gose & Gose.
When the final will was read it We
learned that the Palace hotel proper
consisting of a 6O-foot frontage, ha~
been left to S. w. Mix, while the lot
at the corner of Second and Birch
had been bequeatned to the other son
Will. The daughter was left another
let facing on Birch street.
This was the cause of the contro-
versy, for believing that her mother
had been unduly influenced by both
outside and family influence, Mrs
Converse threatened suit. In the en-
deavor to reach an amicable settle
ment, a compromise was proposed but
stating that she would have none of it
Mrs. Converse commenced action.
On the witness stand this morning
she testified that. her mother had been
directly influenced by Andreas Bard,
former pastor of the Episcopalian
church, and that he was the one who
originally sowed the seeds of discord
in the family. BY various means. she
claims, he purposely encouraged Mr.
Mix in her dislike for her daughter.

baleful influence over her.
In his testimony, Will Mix declared
that his mother had always disliked
his sister and even went so far as to
declare that she would only be left
the sum of 500. This Mr.. Mix said
was overcome by him who thought
that she should have an equal division

social democracy, has solemnly warned

The kaiser has repeatedly said in

that of the close of the army maneu-

to sentiments bearing even the SEM

the holding company.

the holding company.
Here the decision goes step farther
than the Northern Securities, which
merely declared the combination illegal
and afterwards sustained the distri-
button of constituent stock to individ-
ual holders of combination stock as suf-
ficient compliance with the courts
mandate.
The important fact is that this re-
distribution left ownership and control
precisely where they were before, only
little more exposed to the chances
of the market. Obviously, Standard
Oil will do the same thing after going
through the form of an appeal to the
supreme court.

and do more. These two opposite DEM
constructions explain why it was expect
ed to smash the stock market, and why
it's actual effect in that way was so
small.
The Northern Securities decision es-
tablished once for all that a holding
company cannot own stock in COM
peting companies. What may seem
new in this decision is the extension
of that rule to industrial companies,
which are not mi-public like rail-
roads But the principle of that was
laid down long before, first, we think
in the epoch-making Addystone Pipe
company case Before that is 10 years
old, and it is more convenient to COM
pare with the Northern Securities case
The procedure was different, but the
effect was the same. The owners of
the Great Northern bought control of
the Northern Pacific, which was their
right as individuals. Then they ex-
changed their stock, controlling in
terest in both companies, for that of
the Northern Securities company,
which was to dominate both, though
they were operated separately.
This at the same time made it pos
sible to prevent competition, and pro-
tected the stock of both companies
from the chances Of the market, which
might have restored competition by
changing the ownership of one That
was held invalid under the antitrust
law, we suggest as much for the latter
reason as for the former
The essence of the obligation was
that the arrangement gave a few men
in direction of the holding company,
perhaps minority of the actual own
ers of both, power over their manage
ment in contravention of public policy,
which might have been extended over
other competing lines in the same way.
In the Standard Oil case, one refinery
obtained control of several competi-
tors by purchase, which was it's right.
Then it make itself holding company
for their stock, substituting it's own,
and proceeded to obtain control of 9TH
er competitors in the same way; only
as it grew stronger it was able to use
compulsiOn to sell below actual value,
which is contrary to public policy,
even without the antitrust law.
At the time of the decision, this pro-
cess had gone SO far that nearly half
of the refineries of the country were
in combination and more than half of
the production. AS the concentration
went on, actual power passed more and
more into the hands of a few men by
till a small clique who
did not even own stock control of
them, managed the affairs of the hold
ing company and all its constituents.
For many years the stockholders
of the Standard Oil have been
a serial farce, and the controlling COM
panies have held none.
In time this would have been extend
ed over the remaining Independent re-
fineries. That would have given the
little more control over
prices than it has now, through the
power to ruin independent companies
with local underselling, but it would
have increased profits by removing that
item of expense The decision of the
circuit court puts a stop to it by or
dering a redistribution of constituent
stock among the individual owners of

confirms its extension to private in

the weakness of that law to prevent
