RELIGIOUS Unity.

The State of Maine has been selected
as fertile ground for more general re-
ligious activity. Perhaps it would be
fairer to say that those citizens of the
State of Maine who are now engaged
in religious work have taken steps to
conduct a more active campaign and
have sought the aid of experienced
workers to supplement their own eff
forts. During the winter we are to be
visited by evangelists of great power
and spirituality. They come to us to
aid in the work prosecuted so faithfully
by Maine pastors. UNCONVENTIONAL
lines are wiped out.
No city has been more active in
bringing about a better understanding
among the pastors of the several de-
nominations than has Augusta. The
spirit of unity, liberation and liberality
which pervades religious work in this
city has often been the subject OF COM
mendation in other cities. That this
spirit is fostcred by the present pas
tors there is no doubt, and that re-
ligious work is greatly aided thereby
is equally certain.

A LITERARY SIN.
The Fabrication of Quotations Is a
CensurabIe Practice Often Done.

Plagiarism is hardly so great a crime
as the fabrication of quotations-a
practice which has caused many an
earnest student to waste hours in a
fruitless endeavor to trace the passage
cited. Among the guilty Samuel War
rem deserves special mention. On one
occasion he took part in debate dur
ing which Rcebuck boosted that he
was not party man, whereupon War
rem rose and said that my learned
friends boast reminds me painfully OF
the words of Cicero, He who belongs
to no party is presumably too vile for
any" At the conclusion of the debate
ROebUck came over to compliment his
adversary on having made successful
hit, adding. II am fairly well up in
Cicero, bat / have no idea where / can
find the passage you quoted "Neith-
err have l." said Warren. Good
night

quotations, leaves IT'S legacy Of trouble

ResourcefuI Dickinson.

Secretary of War Dickinson has
against the Standard Oil Company
the corporation declared illegal by the
United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern district of Missouri. 1t is the
boycott, an Irish product and effective
to the last degree when all else fails
1t has been used by societies, labor
unions, trusts and all sorts of COM
binations Of capital ana persons, but
it remained for the resourceful Mr..
Dickinson to introduce it into gov
ernmental affairs.
He has ordered the dscontinuance
of the practice of purchasing the
product of the illegal company for
any war department purpose. That is
blow at the trusts vitals for the
war department purchases vast guam
titles of petroleum and petroleum
products for general use in it's work
Since the War Department took the
reins in the Panama canal zone, the
purchase of the company's product
has cost the country many thousands.
The loss of this vast income is a blow,
the effects of which the Standard Oil
Company cannot laugh away.
Being an illegal corporation it can
have no standing in court and it is
hard to see where it has any redress.
AS the attorneys for the trust are the
best that money can hire, it is likely
that they will find some method of
turning the order back, but at the
present time orders are in force for
| bidding any officer or employee of the
war Department from purchasing
any product of the Standard Oil Com
| pany in behalf of the department.
The moral affect Of such an order
will be far reaching. 1t will put new
courage and new dollars into the
pockets of the Independent companies.
1t will give the householder courage
to resist the opportunities of the
monopoly so far as possible If sue
cessful in the Wart Department there
is no good reason why it should not
spread to the other departments. and
thus deprive the illegal company of all
governmental income Incidentally
SUCH action will go long way toward
packing up the decisions of the courts.
Ii 1t is Improbable for the Standard
to be naughty, it will be good. It is a
matter of dollars and cents.
