The naval academy authorities
made up their minds several days
ago that even should death follow
Wilson's injuries the remaining games
including that with West Point would
not be cancelled. Sorrow is felt at
Annapolis over the death of Cade,
Byrne. 1t is pointed out. however
that the annals of the academy show
that more midshipmen have lost their
lives from swimming, boating. gym
nastics and other sports than from
football and none OF these sports
has been abandoned. therefore the

either.

NOTHING HEARD AT CAPITAL.
Neither Department Has Been Called
Upon TO Consider Situation.
(By Associated Press).


WASHINGTON. ID. C., Nov. l.
Neither the navy department nor the
war department has been called upon
late today to consider the proposed
cancellation Of the football game be-
tween the naval academy and the
military academy.
High ofiicials in both departments
said that the present matter was for
the superintendent for their respec-
tive academies to determine. although
their action might be referred TO
Washington for approval.
At the navy department It was said
that inasmuch as West Point desired
to cancel its game with Annapolis.
nothing remained TO do but to grant
it's request. It was added that the
rest of the schedule arranged by An
napolis would doubtless be played.

Standard Oil Decision

Once more that chronic offender.
the Standard Oil, seems about 10 be
brought to book by the decision Of the
United States circuit court Of appeals
commanding it's dissolution as an
illegal combine. The court appears to
be convinced beyond a doubt Of the
guilt Of the Standard in its lawless
suppression Of competition, and the
radical decree aimed to destroy this gil
gantic monopoly will, if finally effec-
tive, be the most important achieve
ment in the governments warfare
against monopolistic combines.
The question at once arises, what
becomes Of the Standard II dissolved?
The redistribution Of the Northern Sc
curities into it's component parts was
a simple operation, but the realignment
Of the Standard, with all the inter-
~weavings of the years in which It has
been successfully entrenched, is an in
tricate undertaking which would seem
to TAI the most consummate skill. A re-
ownership would probably constitute
the transition stage.
But the threatened dissolution is the
Standards own trouble, and It has thus
far been adroit at s~idestepping the pen
alties of the law. The supreme court
has yet to pass finally on the decision
of the circuit court, and 1t may be
safely ASSUMED that the Standard will
leave no stone unturned to discover a
loophole, as It so often has done before.
Popular faith in the ultimate defeat
Of the monopoly is bulwarked by the
fact that the present decree is unani-
nous. The absence of dissent will in
spire public confidence in the wisdom
and justice Of the decision.

The Seat of Control.

The meeting OF railway commission
ers just closed in Washington, seems
to have reopened the controversy that
was originally precipitated when the
Interstate commerce law was first pro-
posed as to where the seat Of control
should be as between the states and
the federal government. The claims
Of the various states to exclusive au-
thority over the common carriers doing
business within their limits we're set
up against the assertion by congress of
superior jurisdiction over all carriers
engaged in interstate traffic. The fact
that every railroad and transportation
company, with insignificant exceptions,
haul passengers and freight both with
in state lines and across state lines
over the same tracks and roadbed and
with the same equipment and motive
power, makes it practically impossible
to draw the line sharply at the bound
aries of each state. Yet 1t is s%elf-evi-
dent that there are railway problems
which are purely local in their nature
as distinguished from problems which
are wholly interstate, and still others
that have both interstate and intra-
state aspects.
The railroads used to endeavor to
combat regulation by congress by TAX
ing refuge behind the rights OF the
states, but more lately they have dis
covered that the varying requirements
Of forty-six different legislatures are
more complex and complicative than
those of a single federal authority. Our
dual form of government, however, is
a reality, and it Is useless to figure en-
making either federal or state control
exclusive. The desirable relation would
be such cooperative Intervening be-
tween state and federal commissions as
would bring about uniformity of prac-
tice and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
AS The Bee has more than once
pointed out, the chief weakness of the
present organization of the Interstate
Commerce commission lies in it's dis
lance from the source of complaints
and the unavoidable delays in redress
of grievances. With a subcommission
assigned to each separate traffic divis-
ion, from which appeals would lie to a
higher tribunal, the federal and state
authorities would be brought much
closer together and the shipper would
have as prompt and effective relief in
cases involving interstate traffic as he
can have in cases within state jurisdic-
ton. Neither the federal nor the state
commissions can crowd the other out
while there is work for each to do be-
yond the others authority.

Gems of Misfortune.


If it be true hat the famous Hope
diamond has gone to the bottom of the
sea with its last possessor, then n
more star Of i'll omen has been re-
moved. Fol while many Of the stories
of bad luck accompanying ownership
of the gem undoubtedly were exag-
gerated, still a host of misfortunes has
always attended every precious stone
of so p~rodigious a value. 1t is inevita-
BILE that such a jewel must be con-
stantly a source of temptation. Even
Ia tyro recognizes at first glance the
possibilities Of fortune and adventure
for any man owning a gem whose
money value is a kings ransom. Adroit
manipulation Of such a bait in the
hands of an accomplished artist would
excite the cupidity of either sex, and
It might buy the honor of many in all
walks of life.
The fascination exerted over the hui
man mind by sumptuous gems has
been a stock-in-trade of the novelist
since the making Of many books began.
THE Arabian Nights" are full of stor-
les based on fabulous jewels. Wilkie
Collins made superb use OF the foible
with his wonderful "Moonstone." Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson gave the most
modern rendering in his inimitable
"Raiah's Diamond" Always the trail
of the Jewel, in fiction, as in real life,
has beer a consistent record Of the
downfall Of man and oma tempted
beyond endurance by the FIRE in the
heart of the stone infiaming the human
soul.
Such a career as that Of the diamond
narrated by Stevenson was that Of the
Hope stone. A throne tottered and a
royal family was sundered because of

treacherous allurement OF the gem.

seas. And in the night the waters
swallowed up nabob and diamond. Fit

On the Trail of Pneumonia.

While m~illiOnaires are arousing pop
ular acclaim over their financial con-
tributions to the warfare against men
acing diseases, let us not overlook the
actual progress made by the untiring
scientific investigator in his conflict
with one of the oldest, most deadly and
stubborn foes of man. Pneumonia is
a scourge which has long bafled ma
terra medica and annually swept many
thousands into the grave. 1t is a NAL
ady which has had to wear itself out
or else wear out the patient. AS the
family physician usually says, "It's all
in the nursing and the patients consti-
tuition"
Reports from authoritative sources
that pneumonia bids fair to be con-
uuered under the latest treatment will
therefore be received with qualification
bordering on enthusiasm. Boston,
where pneumonia has become the most
deadly of ailments, even ~outranking
consumption, has been experimenting
IalLnIully anu buCCSSHluily WIN NhO
new vaccine treatment. This intro
duces into the blood a multiplication
OF the ~leucocytes which apparently
only need a sufficient army to out the
bacteria.
Such wholesale cures are reported
that the medical authorities elsewhere
are taking up the treatment, and the
propaganda is being spread by the dis
tribution of free vaccine to all appli-
cants. When confronted with the APP
palling records Of pneumonia one hest
tates to hail a new cure" as a specific,
but the vaccine treatment seems to
have made promising advance and
the results so far as demonstrated are
fully as encouraging as those achieved
against diphtheria In the early days Of
antitoxin.

Neplected Hampton Roads.

President Taft's declaration of an
intention to urge full development of
the possibilities of Hampton Roads re-
news attention to a conspicuous case
Of national neglect, for that wonderful
estuary should long ago have been con-
verified into it's complete strength as
possibly the greatest strategical naval
base in the world.
Hampton Roads has already blazed
its name in American history, the
never-to-be-forgotten engagement be-
tween the Merrimac and Monitor be-
ing only one Of the many important
events of the civil war in those waters.
subsequently President Lincoln
met the emissaries Of the confederate
states in a a conference, which had
large bearing on our attitude concern
ing the proposed conquest Of Mexico
as we'll as on the readjustment of re-
lations between the north and the
south.
With such a broad, deep channel, so
magnificent a series of harbors, n
commanding such a sweep of coast and
such a volume Of internal commerce,
Hampton Roads ought more quickly to
have been transformed into a safe and
effective naval base for the operations
of our fleet on the Atlantic seaboard.
Now that Mr.. Taft is so firmly COM
mitted to the plan, We may look for
the establishing of Notifications that
will not only make the roads impreg-
nable, but also guarantee absolute pro-
lection to all vessels taking refuge in
the Chesapeake and its tributaries,
and to all the interests o. approach
able by means of those thinly guarded
waters. Indeed, it seems incredible
that an opportunity and a need so d.
rectly under the eye Of the legislating
body at Washington should have been
SO long overlooked.
