JANE adams SAYS
STAGE rs TEACHER

CHICAGO, April 5.-The stage is the
most successful popular teacher of morals,
in the opinion Of Jane Adams. who de-
cIared In Sunday address to Sinai tenn
ple in the absence of DR.. Emil @. Hirsch.
1t was her opinion that there is q lack
of spiritual teaching Of the children up
to the age of Is years, which is produce
ing an undesirable trend in national life.
At that age she asserted, the mind or
the child is receptive and pliable, while
1t is more difficult to teach an adult.
Miss Adams spoke Of boy Is years
old who committed suicide because he
did not make the proper advancement
at school, in his estimation. Another
tried to convert dull lead pipe into thea
ire tickets in his search for something
strenuous, exciting and adventurous.
It was at this point that the speaker
declared for the theatres as teachers OF
morals.
1.-The plays presented are often poor
and fiimsy,'' she said, ''but there are
at least a dozen of them on the stage
today which could easily be made the SUD-
ject of sociological lectures"

TWO BOYS ARRESTED
FOR TRAIN WRECK|NG
PASSENGER TRAIN ON SOUTH
ERN RAILWAY DASHES UPON
CROSS-TIES THAT WE'RE
PLACED ON TRACK.

MOLENA. Ga, April 5.-Two unsuc-
cessful attempts were made to wreck the
passenger trains on this division of the
Southern railway Saturday night, near
Neal, a little station three miles north OF
this place. The southbound train shortly
after leaving Neal suddenly dashed upon
two heavy green crossties that had been
placed upon the track with the intent Oh
derailing the rapidly moving train.
The train hit the obstruction full speed,
the engineer not having time to check
the train after observing the ties that
had been placed Iengthwise between the
rails. They were knocked high in the
air and the train passed on with safety.
At Woodbury. the crew of the north
bound train was notified and they eau
tiously approached the place where the
other train had run upon the obstruction
and found that the ties had been placed
again on the track by the would-be
wreckers after seeing their first attempt
proved unsuccessful
Conductor Boswell, on stopping at the
place, sighted a figure out in the field
and a race began that eliminated in the
capture of Will Hagan. Joe Scott, a ne
gro boy who lived a short distance from
the home of Hagan, was also accused.
Hagan was carried to Concord and
locked up. A message from Concord was
sent to the agent here who, with the
section master, was soon looking for the
negro and captured him at the home of
his mother. He denies any knowledge of
the plot to wreck the trains.
A little over a year ago Hagan was a
passenger on the train and jumped on
and was injured on approaching the sta
ton and this is thought to be the cause
of his intention to wreck the train. Both
are in Zezulon jail.

glad to say that / know this can be
done. You can get a Homestead IN Mex

All that Is required is to have loo bana-
na trees planted within five years, and
the Improvement Department will pre-
pare the land, supply and plant the trees
and care for them until they come into
bearing, for about 5000. You can pay this
In installments OF s. a month, and in
three years after your trees are planted,
they will bring you a profit of more than
1850 each year. IL you superin-
tend the work; but IL you wish
the Improvement Department will
care for the trees and market your bana-
mas continuously, so you will not have to
be in Mexico at ali; they get one-third
Of the crop for attending to and market

profit of more than 81 900 a year, from
an investment of about $500. If you act

pipe line to the seaboard. and succeeded
in getting an agreement with the conf
pany for division of the business.
Through this and other agreements with
other companies and purchases, the
Standard. it is alleged, has at the present
time control OF about IS per cent Of the
transportation OF crude oil to the Atlantic
seaboard, which by reason of the large
percentage OF oil exported. gives it a tre-
mendous advantage.
Recognizing the importance to the
Standard of railway transportation, its
officials and their associates during the
last ten years, Il is said, have been d.
rectors in many of the leading railroad
systems OF the United States, for instance,
the Standard interests have in the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul four direc-
tors, Union and Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe, two each; New York, New
Haven and Hartford, New York Central
and allied lines. Missouri Pacific, Boston
and Maine. Wisconsin Central, Rutland
railroad, and others. one each.
Attitude of Government
The brief says that ''the government
does not wish to be understood as discour-
aging enterprises or as taking opposition
against legitimate competition, but II the
Sherman act means anything in this coun-
try. il means a monopoly acquired by
such methods of competition as are pur-
sued by the Standard OH company. I'm
less IL is enforced, the small corporation
or individual who wishes to engage in
business will have absolutely no oppor-
portunity at all. The testimony is valu-
able as showing the intention of the
Standard Oil company to monopolize the
commerce in oil through the United
States. In many districts II has been
an absolute monopoly.
I'VE mean by absolute monopoly that in
those districts It does all the business and
has eliminated every competitor. Practi-
cally this is the case throughout the
Rocky mountain country, and most Of the
Pacific coast states. The percentage Of in
dependent business throughout the entire
south is very small. Moreover. where
there Is competition, the competitors are
strictly under the control OF the Stand
ard. in that they must. in order to be al
lowed to do business, sell oil at practical
ly the price the Standard dictates, and
confne themselves TO a small percentage
Of the trade"
History of Company
The brief, which occupies 200 printed
pages, covers with much detail the his
tory OF the company from its original
organisation to the present time and as
serts that it's methods have been in gross
violation OF law and asks the court, in
view Of the circumstances Of the case, to
annul the contracts under which the
Standard OIL company operates. and dis
solve the corporation.
The brief is signed by George W. Wick
ersham. attorney general; Frank B. KEEL
logg, Charles B. Morrison, Cordenie A.
Severance and ]. HARDWOOD Graves, special
assistant to the attorney general.

COUNTY TREASURER HEFLING IN

IN CITIZENS STATE BANK
The County Will Henceforth Get Three
Per Cent on All Its Funds-.-Es-
tablishes a Precedent.

Ravali county now gets per cent

"wad,' aggregating about 500, 900,
was deposited in the Citizens State
bank Monday by County Treasurer
Hefling under an agreement by
which the entire amount draws inter
est, nomatter how much it fuctuates.
This innovation is the result of a
campaign promise made by Mr.. Hef-
ling lastfall. He pledged himself to
deposit tae county funds in the bank
which would pay the highest interest
therefor and deposit the interest to
the credit of the county. In pur-
suance Of the pledge he called for bids
from rh. recognized bankers of Raval-
Ii county last week. Bids were SUBJ
1nitted by the Ravall County bank
and tn. Citizens State bank.
Their. was not much difference in
the bids. The Ravalli County bank
offeredto pay per cent on $50, 900,

for twdve months, and IN per cent on
the balince of the money. The Citi-
zens' State bank in its proposal offer
ed to ply 3 per cent or the entire
amoun computed on daily balance.

ter bid was accepted by the new trea-
surer, and the Citizens State bank
became the county depository. This
