exposition in 1915; that the Crescent
City had asked the veterans to endorse
the exposition and attend it in April,

action and that the reunion of 1914
follow the idea and designate New Or

AGAINST STANDARD OIL co.
United States Supreme Court Gusts
Standard from Tennessee.

! Washington, May 2.-The decree O
the Supreme Court of Tennessee, GUST
ing the Standard Oil Company Of Ken.
lucky from doing business in the State
of Tennessee, was to-day affirmed by
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
The proceedings were begun in 1907
under the Tennessee antitrust act.
The Standard Of Kentucky had oil
stored in tanks in Tennessee in which
it procured supply to serve merchants
throughout the various sections Of the
State. The Evansville Oil Co., of Evans
vile, Ind, sent salesman to GaIatin,
Tenn, to sell oil. He obtained several
orders, whereupon the agent Of the
Standard Oil Co. of Gallatin offered to
give the merchants ten gallons of oil
per barrel to countermand their pur-
chase orders with this salesman. Four
of them accepted.
AhO OIdhudIu anu TWO VI lJS agents
were indicted under the State antitrust
act. One of the agents was convicted
but the Standard escaped punishment
on the ground that it could not be fined
under the act, but could only be ousted.
Custer proceedings resulted in de-
dree of custer from State courts.
The company appealed on the argu-
ment that the alleged criminal agree
ment, If an offense, was an offense
against the Sherman antitrust law and
not an offense against the laws OF Ten
nessee; that the statute was unconsti-
tutional because it violated the equal
protection and due process clauses Of
the constitution and because the statute
of limitations was effective.
Justice Holmes announced the opin-
ion Of the court All the contentious
Of the company were disposed Of favor
ably to the State in the opinion to-day. |

Indiana Ought to Go Democratic.

John Dalzel's ardent wish for Dem.
ocratic victory in Indiana ought to be
gratified.
If Cannonism and Aldrichism are
Republicanism, Mr. Dalzell is plainly
right in declaring that the Indiana ticket
is not Republican ticket.
If the Payne-Aldrich tariff, as Mr..
Taft said at Winona, is the best tariff
bill that the Republican party has ever
passed, ard, therefore the best tariff bill
that has been passed at all, {" Mr.. Dali
zell is again right in declaring that the
Indiana platform is not Republican
platform"
II stand-pattism is the true test OF
Republicanism, progressive Indiana Re
publicans ought to be read out of the
party.
Mr.. Dalzell hopes that the Democrats
will carry Indiana" and for once The
World is thoroughly IN accord with the
eminent reactionary from Pennsylvania.
Wherever there is dissatisfaction with
the increasing cost Of living, there should
be Democratic victories in the fall.
Wherever there is disappointment
over the failure of the Republican party
in Congress to keep its promise, there
should be Democratic victories.
Wherever there is disgust with reac-
tionary leadership, or protest against
the policies of Cannon and Aldrich,
there should be Democratic victories.
Although it is always well that pro-
gressive Republicans should triumph
over stand-pat Republicans, complete
and overwhelming defeat remains the
one effective method OF rebuking a rec
reant party organization New York

The King Ranch.

The King Ranch is the most famous
ranch in the United States to-day. Con-
sidering the size Of this ranch, l, 400, 600
acres, and the wonderful richness Of its
soil, it is little wonder that this ranch
should be so noted.
For months we have been searching
the Gulf Coast country Of Texas from
one end to the other in our endeavor to
find ranch suitable for subdiyiding in-
to small tracts for truck gardening pur-
poses. The owners OF the King Ranch.
after feeling sure that we would COLOMBO
it, decided to sell us that part OF their
ranch known as the Parita Pasture, con-
sisting Of Is, 900 acres.
This pasture adioins the land sur
rounding the town OF Falfurrias, which
is the most wonderfully developed Sec
ton in the entire Gulf Coast country.
The western edge Of our land is only
two miles from the Faliurrias depot.
This rich pasture is now subdiyided into
small tracts from five acres up. No
better truck and orange land is in Texas
to-day. An investigation will prove 10
you that this land offers you an exeep-
tional opportunity for investment.

Fear Of the Comet.

The pseudo-astronomers, sensational
alarmists and those of the fanciful incli
nation who like to play on their owl
and other peoples fears, continue tc
urge the possibility Of great harm to the
earth by contact with Halley's comet OF
| its gaseous tail. The fears thus excited
are as baseless as were those of the an
clients and people of medieval times,
who, not knowing the nature or great
distance of heavenly bodies, thought
comets were portents of evil, warnings
set in the sky to denote the approach of
coming catastrophe.
The comet is MOVING towards the
earth at the rate of twenty-five miles a
second. " This is theyery startling dec
laration with which the half-informed
and those ready to credit any sensation
al statement seen in print use to scare
themselves and others. Many who like
excitement, even at the expense of their
nerves, encourage the fears that this in
complete declaration may excite. The
comet few days ago was moving di-
rectly towards the earth at the speed in
but the earth at the same time
was moving away from the place it then
occupied at the rate of eighteen miles a
second and when in the latter part of
May the comet crosses the earth's orbit
at the point where the earth was when
the comet was coming directly toward it
the earth will be many million miles
away on its annual path around the
sun.
The earth is moving in something
like circle around the sun. The COM
ct is moving in almost direct line away
from that luminary. Its path will cross
hat of the earth, of course, but the
earth at the time will be far away from
he point where the two paths cross.
That fact is as clearly ascertained as the
Using and the setting OF the sun, or as
he regular motion of any of the heav-
snly bodies can calculate with exactness
or any period in the future.
twenty-five miles a second sounds
ike a tremendous speed, but it is really
cry slow travelling for comet II
Ialley's comet were not one of COM
,arative slight velocity it would not have
,een captured and retained as periodic
isitor in our solar system. Comet A
4 1910, which was family visible on
he western sky in the early part of the
ear, was moving at ten times the rate

ably never to return again, or, at th,
least, not in thousands of years. When
comets fly very fast they describe in
their passage around the sun the geo
metrical figure called a hyperbola,
which is a curved line with the two ends
widely diverging. When they move
with comparative slowness, as HALEY IS
comet does, the attraction of the sun
makes their course that of the geomet-
rical figure called an ellipse, which is an
elongated circle. 1t takes HALEY S
comet about seventy-five years to travel
this ellipse orbit and it has been passing
through the earth's orbit at nearly reg
ular intervals of that length for time
the memory OF man and the records Of
history runneth not to the contrary, and
it has never done this earth any harm.
On May Is the comet will make its
nearest approach to the earth. Its inn
mense tail, which for some reason not
yet ascertained always streams away
from the sun, will probably thus enyel-
ope the earth. Some astronomer has
described comet as "Nothingness set
in void, and the tail of the comet is
even less than its head. 1t is highly
attenuated gas at most. Some astron-
omers think it probably electric light
like that we see streaming through
darkness from a searchlight. Whatever
it is, it does no harm to the earth, being
shut out from the surface of the planet
by the atmosphere. 1t is well known
to astronomers that the earth passed
through the tail OF a comet in 1919 and
also that Of the great comet Of 1861,
which many people now living well re-
but the fact of the transit was
unknown to ordinary earth dwellers at
The time.
Some day great comet may come
put OF space rushing toward the sun
with tremendous force and find the
earth directly in its path. The posi-
oilities Of the impact give room for in
Unite conjectures, but such thing has
lot happened to this earth or any of its
lister planets in all the cons OF the past,
md it is therefore not cause for pres
mt alarm. Comets approaching the
great planet Jupiter within the history

directed from their course and sent away

orces. The earth would have similar
fleet on an ordinary comet that came

ance less than a million miles. 1t is

EYES ARE WINDOWS,
OF THE SOUL
Effect Of the Eyes Upon the
Disposition of
Women

1.-THE eyes aret the windows of the soul,
is an oft.guotcd expression, the real force
Of which Is hardly appreciated.
Medical science has demonstrated that
many Of the causes Of nervous irritation
and headaches, carrying with them a de-
pressing effect upon the disposition of the
sufferer, are clearly traceable to defective
eyesight. The blues, that horrible SEN
sation and feeling that creeps into the
disposition Of 80 many women, is FREE
quently caused solely through the need
OF repairs to these windows Of the soul"
An illustration OF this occurred in the
office Of St. Agnes 1nfirmary, us East
Grace Street, recently. A nervous little
woman is the subject Of the story, and
unconsciously she gave utterance to a
great truth.
She had gone to the famous New York
specialist now at st. Agnes Eye, Ear,
Nose and Throat Inhrmary, 2i5 East
Grace Street, to submit herself to his
marvellous method and prescription
glasses, in the hope of getting some relief
for her eyes, which had been troubling
her for years. After submitting to the
process Of his method, during which time
she recited her numerous ills and ailments,
she finally concluded by saying: II am SO
irritable, doctor; don't mean to be so.
but little things aggravatc me so that |
become so cross sometimes that am
ashamed Of myself.
"Any woman would be cross with such
ewes in her head" spoke the specialist,
oointing to her eyes. "You can never be
ANYTHING else than cross and disagreeablc
while it remains So"
Continuing his examination, he was
soon in complete possession Of all the
facts in her case, and her relief soon fol-
lowed through the practice of his original
system and the use Of his prescription
glasses.
A few days later the same party, but
now bright and smiling little woman,
entered the office OF the St. Agnes In
Urinary, us East Grace. She was profuse
in her expressions Of gratitude for the relief
that had been afforded her and the great
benefit that she had derived. As she was
taking her departure she remarked: My
husband says that have changed to such
a great extent that he scarcely knows me. :
