PROMINENT COUPLE
Marry in Fulton Tuesday Night.
Rev. Staley Officiated.

On Tuesday evening there occurred
wedding in Fulton of a prominent ou
of town couple which was kept secre
until this morning at the express wisl
of both bride and groom, when Her
man Rich and Miss Florena Gates, o
Nashville, Tenn, were joined in we'd
lock by Rev. M. E. Staley, of the FRS
Baptist Church.
The groom, who is senior member ot
the Rich Printing Company, Nashville,
met Miss Gates at Union City, where
she was teaching school, by appoint
ment and they drove through to Fulton
to be married, after first securing a
license at the Obion County seat. Rev.
Staley was telephoned to after they ar
rived here and the party adjourned to
the Tenpessee side, securing the con-
sent of Luke Moneyham and family to
perform the ceremony in the hallway
of their home, it being necessary to be
in that State when the nuptials were
conducted
The pair, who stated they were not
eloping, wired to Nashville of their mar
riage, but asked Rev StaIey to keep the
affair secret in order that Union City
friends might be surprised. = Fulton

The foregoing marriage was published

DISSOLUTION OF STANDARD OIL
Holds Oil Octopus and Subsidi-
aries Illegal Corporation.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 20.-In an
opinion written by Judge Walter H. San
born of st. Paul, and concurred in by
Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Adams,
with special concurring opinion by
Judge Hook, the United States Circuit
Court for the Eastern district of Missouri
to-day handed down an opinion declaring
the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
an Illegal combination, operating in re-
straint of trade and ordering its disso-
luton. heppinion of the court was
filed simultaneously in st. Louis and in
st. Paul.
In this decision the Government of
the United States wins a sweeping vic
tory, and, according to Frank B. Kellogg
of this city, who was the Governments
special prosecuting officer, the Govern
ment has won every point for which it
contended.
The case will be appealed direct to the
United States Supreme Court, as the
judges who signed to-day's decree are in
effect the judges of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, although they
were sitting for the purpose of trying
this case as the Circuit Court for the
Eastern district of Missouri
EFFECTIVE IN THIRTY DAYS.
The decree of the court dissolving the
Standard Oil Company becomes effective
in thirty days, when, no doubt, stay
will be granted for the purpose of an ap-
peal. When the decree takes effect, un-
less stay is granted, an injunction will |
be issued restraining the Standard Oil
Company from a further continuance
of its business under its present forma-
ton
1t appears from the concurring opin-
ion, written by Judge Hook, that the

other form with the object of sitting
For, says Judge Hook on
this subject, it is thought that with the
end of the combination the monopoly
will naturally disappear. But, should it
not do SO, and the members of the COM
oination retire from it, except one who

aggregation of the physical properties

by reason of economy in operation, re-
duced the price of it's product. This,
Judge Hook says, can have no weight.
The suit terminated by to-day's de-
cision was begun by direction of the At
torney General of the United States in
st. Louis, Nov. Is, 1906. Frank B.
Kellogg of St. Paul was special prose
cutor, assisted by Charles B. Morrison
of Chicago, Frank H. Poole and J. H.
Graves of the Department of Justice, W.
H. Higgins of Minneapolis and Cordenio
A. Severance of st. Paul.
The Standard Oil's legal talent was led
by John G. Milburn of New York. It's
defense was that the present organiza-
ton of the Standard Oil corporation was
the result of the natural growth of a
great industry and that no statute had |
been violated.
Judge Sanborn of st. Paul, the pre-
siding judge, wrote the opinion and the
decree, in which all the judges concur,
and sent them with concurring opinion

Physics Department.

President Penrose's report con-
tinues:
Professor Brown has felt during
the past two years not only that the
quarters of the physics department in
the Whitman Memorial building were
too restricted, but also that their
dampness was interfering with his
own health. Attacks Of inf1ammatory
rheumatism have Frustrated him each
year. 1t seems necessary, therefore,
that he be given quarters elsewhere.
L recommend that Prentiss Hall be
abandoned as a girls dormitory and
that the front part of it be fitted up
for the use Of the department OIL
physics. This will give Professor
Brown more room and will greatly re-
lieve the crowded condition Of Whit
man Memorial.
THE department of chem stry is
/ taught by Professor Howard w Bruz
baker, a graduate of Carleton college
and Doctor Of Philosophy of the
University of Pennsylvania. At my
request, DIR. Brubaler submits the
following report in regard to condi-
tons in his department:
'"Since 1 came to Whitman college,
n the fall of 1894, the department OF
chemistry has grown steadily with
the college. This year has been the
most successful, not only in the point
OF numbers, but also in the quality
of work done. This year is the first
in which I have been permitted to
give all OF my time to chemistry. 1t
is needless to say that we have ac-
complished more and better results
than in any previous year. The in
ventory, to about the middle of the
year, shows the chemical equipment
to be worth about $1,000 This in
cludes tables and all other fixtures
An order has been placed for about
$3.50 of chemicals and apparatus for
next year."

Second period. In the year 1899
Or. Brode was appointed 20 the de-
partment of biology. All of the
chemistry and physics was confined
in one department. The next year is
marked by the removal from the old
college building to Whitman Memoir
ial and the purchase of nearly $1,000
worth of supplies and apparatus for
the laboratory. This spread a new
era of growth. By the end of the
EeXt five years the chemistry depart
ment was giving one year of general
work based on laboratory practice
with an equipment much improved
over that of the earlier years. The
department of physics was offering
two years work in the college, some
experimental work had been done
and the academy work included a few
laboratory experiments.
Third period. In the year 1905
physics and chemistry were made sep
arate departments. This was the
greatest event in the history of the
physics department. In this year the
academy was now upon an efficient
laboratory basis. During the last -four
years progress has been made until
at the present time complete -four
year course in college has been estab-
hshed and equipped. During the las
year changes have been made so that
the courses now offered cover very
completely in amount the work re.
quired by the best technical schools
requisite for engineering and profes-
sion2l work, and our students en-
rolled IN the post graduate schools re-
port that the work done at Whitman
is not of inferior quality. The equip
ment now inventories at about $4,000

ments of permanent value. There is
also a large number of home made

Under a nominal despotism there
is not so much difference between
the position of men and women out
side of the ruling classes, and women
are relatively better off under such
a government than under a nominal
democracy as ours; for under a des-
potism there is one despot or a small
class of despots, whereas under a
nominal democracy, all men are
placed in the position of despots;
that is to say, we have a government

to be emphasized here is, that the
fundamental principles of democra-
cy, the direct participation of all the
people in government, was recogniz-
ed as an essential of just government.
That is to say, democracy and polit-
fcal justice were regarded as syn
onymous.
Furthermore, at the present time,
women form the only class and the
only individuals who do not par
ticipate in political affairs. Why do
women wish a voice in the govern
ment? Simply because they believe,
as their colonial ancestors believed,
that no one is sure of justice unless
that one has in his or her hand the
