Change the Condition.

President Taft believes that the SUI
preme court will sustain the lower
court in the Standard Oil case decis-
ion. He also believes that if the
spirit of this decision is carried out it
will mean the dissolution of practical
ly every great trust in the country.
He also believes that the effect Of this
wholesale dissolution would be to
bring on financial panic.
The president is probably correct
in each one of his conclusions. He
has been a Judge for a good many
years and ought to be able to make a
good guess as to what the supreme
court will do. He is also probably
correct in concluding that decision
that will dissolve the Standard Oil
company will dissolve the steel trust
and all the rest of the great trusts be-
cause they are built on the same plap
as the Standard. He is also probably
correct in thinking that the effect Of
such a dissolution would bring on q
financial panic and that vast num-
Der of innocent people would get
badly hurt in that panic.

say, confessed to horse stealing after
being dangerously wounded in a run

has been passed, the authorities de-

will have paid the penalty of this dual
personality.
Gabriel Strang, it appears, had liv-

Gabriel Strang was honest; his friends
say it was George Sage who stole
horses. But both men lived in the
same body.
Since Strang has been imprisoned
here, it has become known that he il
