Governor Hadley seems to have
fastidious tastes in the matter of
table linen. In speech at Jeffer.
sou City last Thursday, Senator
Stone took occasion to refer to
some of the eXtrayagences of Gov
ernOr Hadley's administration at
the public expense which no other
Governor of the State had ever in
dulged in. Among them the Sen
ator cited bill for table linen for
which the Governor sent away over
to Scotland. "Rehecting that in
the future as well as in the past, "
said the Senator, the Governor
will go forth as al evangel of pro-
lection, teaching the doctrine that
the protective policy is vital to the
welfare of American workingmen
in particular, and also delivering
old time homilies upon the duty of

the tariff tax, and, according to his
party theory, depriving the Ameri

The four judges who cOncurred
in the decision against the Stand
ard are reputedly among the most
learned Jurlsts OF the country, and
it is said of them that they have
rarely been reversed by the SUI
preme Court. This fact. as well as
others, justifes the general belief
that their latest decision against
the most powerful financial combi-
nation in the world, will be sus.
tanned. That would mean, accord
ing to the general belief, that the
evil monopoly must dissolve; hut
these financial conspirators are
deep schemers, and it is suggested
that they will discover some way to
nvade such n contingency. Indeed,
Mortimer +. Elliott, general coun-
sci Of the Standard, says the deci-
sion does not order a dissolution of
the Standard Company, but con-
strues it into some sort of a disti-
button of its holdings in the stock
of its subsidiary corporations on q.
pro rata basis, from which it might
be inferred that he has full conf.
dence in the Standards ability to
to control the oil product
situation in defiance of the courts

How much we have to be thank
full for, not only on this annual
Thanksgiving day, but every day,
for the manifestation Of love be-
bestowed upon us by the gracious
Father Of all and yet sorrow and
suffering come, we cannot tell
whence nor why nor the purpose OF
il all, with our finite seuses-we
can only let our sympathy 60 out
freely to the stricken ones and eX-
tend such help and comfort as are
within our power to give. And
to-day, even as our hearts are filled
with gratitude for the many bless
ings We enjoy, our own well be-
ing is troubled with thoughts Of
the desoiatc mourners Of the Cherry
mine horror, and the terrible dis
tress with which the family Of one
Missouri's most popular statesmen
and public officials has been
stricken by his tragic death and
that Of his little grandson. May
He who 'tempcrs the wind to the
shorn lamb abide with and com.
fort them in a way that is beyond
humon sympathy and consolation.
