Last Monday the hearts of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Rensmeyer were
made glad by the arrival of a
company of Woodmen and Odd
Fellows, twenty strong, who
waded into the corn and before
night the Golden Rule had work
ed miracle in the the nice pile
of shucked corn. The men all
vouch that at noon Mrs. RenS-
meyer gave them dinner fit for
a king and cooked only as a good
German house wife knows how
to cook. Mr. Rensmeyer has
been very sick for the past two
months and this brotherly kind
ness in these lodge members
coming to the rescue of the corn,
will long be remembered by him
and both he and his good wife
wish to thank most heartily and
sincerely all those who so will
ingly and kindly helped them.
This is one of the pleasant as
well as practical sides of frater-
nalism, brotherly love.

Argument WILL be begun before the SUI
preme Court this afternoon on one of the
most important cases that that tribunal
has ever been called upon TO decide-the
case of the United States Government VS.
The Standard oil Company of New Jer-
sey.
The decision in this case. together with

tobacco trust suit. will define the meaning
OF the Sherman antitrust law more pre-
cisely than it has ever been defined be-
fore. and viii lay down the principles
that will guide the government officials
in the application Of the law TO the great
business interests OF the country
The vast amount OF capital involved in
the present case and the personalities
that are to participate in the proceedings
before the Supreme Court have aroused
large interest in Washington, and il IS
expected that many will not be able to
gain admittance to the Supreme Court
room.
The demand for seats was so great
that admission by card had been decided
upon. but the Supreme Court objected 10
this. and now 1t viii be merely a ques-
ton of getting in line. and those who
are there first will get the seats. Many
lawyers from outside cities have come
TO Washington 10 listen TO the arguments,
IN view of the importance of the case
Attorney General Wickersham will per-
sonally appear for the government. He
has been in New York City for more
than a week preparing his part OF the
argument He deemed the case so inn
portant that he left his Office work here
and went TO the New York Bar Assocla-

aratlon undisturbed by other official
business.

just now an admonition. They may be
too busy TO write letters, but they know
there is no vital Issue between the great
parties. and no moral issue except that
involved In keeping party pledges. They
know the afr OF washington is not so
saturated with pure patriotism that IL
will not vibrate TO the wireless current
OF tho commercial trust and eeclesiast-
cal lobby.
Courage. Mr.. President Trust the
people as they have trusted you. Dis
trust whom they distrust: compel good
faith. Better TO do nothing than moral
and political casuistry. That is Jesuit
cal. The people want none of it. This
is Protestant doctrine as applied TO legis-
lation-keeping faith with the people and
using representative power for the good
of all the people rather than for any
vote-controlling class

WILLING TO AID CONGRESS.
p. n. Chase viii Not Oppose Pending
Legislation.

Legislation.
Declaring that proposed legislation by
Congress tending to the regulation of
dress In theaters would relieve several
theatrical men OF Washington OF further
responsibility in that regard, P. B. Chase.
manager Of Chase's Theater. said last
night that he would oppose no such
measure that might be brought before
the lawmakers.
Mr.. Chase expressed the hope that.
while Congress is considering the mat
ter OF dress IN theaters. some attention
viii be paid 10 the morals as we'll. He
IS vigorously opposed 20 the so-called
classic dance" matinees where the cos
tunes worn by the artists are the least
conspicuous part of the acts.
The ''wide-open" Sunday IN regard to
theaters and other amusement places is
also opposed by Mr.. Chase, who advo-
Gates the closing Of all such places on
the Sabbath.
Mr.. Chase believes the question OF clean
and wholesome amusement and the OBJ
servance Of Sunday are two matters OF
much more import to the people Of Wash
ington than the matter OF dress IN the
alters.

Stsie department Explains Why
MagdaIena Bay Is Utilized.
The United and the Mexican govern
ments have been annoyed recently by
references in American newspapers to
Aagdslena Bay as IAN American coaling
station. These articles have found their
way into Mexican papers and have been
used as campaign material against the
Diaz administration.
To clear up all misunderstanding on
the subject, the Mexican foreign ONCE
and the State Department have united
upon this statement of facts.
Inquiries at the Department Of State
and the Mexican Embassy show that the
United States has applied to the Mexican
government for the usual annual privi-
leges to use Magdalena Bay for months
target practice by the feet. Such priv
ilege was granted before 1906, and every
year since. The United States has asked
no change In the conditions believed by
Mexico to be advisable for the safety Of
the inhabitants of the region. nor does
there exist any other understanding be-
tween the two governments In any way
affecting Magdaiena Bay The assertions
of various newspapers on the subject can
be confidently and authoritatively stated
TO be without foundation"
