SENATOR LAFoLLETTE' propo
amendments to the Sherman act betrav a
hopeless confusion of mind regarding the
meaning of the Supreme Courts deci-
sionS in the Oil and Tobacco Trust cases.
The Court did no, write into the act
the words reasonable restraint The
Court in the majority opinion in the To-
bacco case did not employ these words at
all; they were Judge Hsran'S. What the
Court did say was that the Sherman act
must be interpreted in the light of rea-
son. Every business combination
wherein the parties diminish their liberty
OF competition is not in restraint OF trade
within the meaning of the common law;
and the statute IS merely an embodiment
OF this law. Combinations are in re-
Straint of trade when they tend to. or do.
establish monopolieS. This is the Su-
preme Courts Interpretation of the Sher-
man act and it looks so fair when seen in
The light OF reason that one cannot escape
the conclusion that the critics of the
Court are dwelling in the darkness of I'M
reason.

POSSESSES OLDEST
CLOCK IN THE STATE
George Reed, Of Wheeling, Believes
He Has Most Ancient Time Piece
in west Virginia.

George Reed, OF Wheeling e the
posse ssor of what is believed to be
the oldest clock in this vicinity. This
relic was purchased By his great
grandfather many years ago az an auc
tion, and has been kept by some de
scendant Of the great ancestor and
only recently Mr.. Reed brought ii &c
bis home from West Alexander, where
it had been in possession Of his faith
er.
This old clcck stands between and
s feet high, and q man standing be-
side it looks like mere child On
the back of the face Of this old time
teller are to be found dates believed
to have been placed there by the var.
Jus jewelers. 10 whom the clock has
been taken in bygone days. One date
in particular is noticed, that Of the
u ar 1873. Other dates believed TO
be earlier than the one mentioned are
partly obliterated, but from the date
given the clock is nearly two, hundred
years old.
On the face the irregular lines Of
the numerals seem TO indicate that
they must have been painted BY hand
and by one who was very nervous, or
possibly, it may be that at the time
they we're put there the art OF paint
ing was in its infancy.

There will be marked changes Dur

for the full moon come this year the
first half of each month, which is just
contrary to 1910. the full moon dates
falling on the last half Of the month.
/ This year 1911 is known as a BIZ

365 days, being the third after leap

to the exact date for celebrating
Thanksgiving II has always been
the popular notice that the last
Thursday in November was the day
that was invariably selected for a gen
eral day of thanks from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific. but it seems that this
rule may be changed this year.
The last Thursday in November of
1911 is likewise the last day of the
month, and the compilers of number
OF almanacs, claiming that the last
day of the month is too late for
Thanksgiving day have selected the
next to the last Thursday, which falls
on the 23rd. They say this date is
nearer the one held yearly However,
others still stick to the hard and fast
rule and fix the celebration for No
vember 30. The more conservative
almanac makers, However, realizing
that there is some room for doubt, do
not fix the time, but say that it will be
held either on the last or next to the
last Thursday according as the Presi-

now in the hands Of receivers. A well

NEWS OF THE DAY IN SOCIETY WORLD Luncheon in Compliment to Miss Weakley's Guests THE DAYS EVENTS Gossip of People Here and Elsewhere. : Flagpole Presented to Country
 Club Whose Design Has
 Been Chosen
By MYRTLE MILES

As to the doings of society in New York and at some of the fashionable resorts, smart magazine of the week has the folowing:
 Happily there are many country gentle men who remain at their estates near the city even during the midsummer. so New York is never deserted. The motor car goes up and down Fifth avenue and pretty women in trim summer gowns are seen lunching at the Waldorf-Astoria glad to have a glimpse of town In spite Of pastoral charms. We have never had a sad-looking New York since the era of the motor car began, and when airships flap their wings over the city bringing people to the roof gardens how gay 1t will be on every day in the year, with aero- planes bringing travellers from Newport to New York. The noses of the trained monkeys at Freebody park will be. alto- gether out of joint when there is par ticulary good attraction in New York; But we, are still in an era when white wings and steam yachts as well as sail boats are the chief delight of the busy rich who go about their pleasures vigor- ously even in summer. After the war of the crimson and blue at New London, many of the yachts remained at anchor In the Thames, while others cruised further eastward to Newport.
 So many are the fads in regard to raw foods and the detetic advantages of nuts and fruits that a great part of the world has begun to believe that 1t can. after all, live without cooks. But society can- not. Without dinners given and partaken of, social life would cease. Dr. Richard c. Cabot, in a learned article decrying the use of all drugs that stimulate and soothe, even has good word for all cohol because it's use is so often part of sociability and kindly human inter- course. "Its use," he says, lis bound up with some of the best impulses and feelings in our nature" The social world, however, would go it's way gaiy regard Newport when the champagne bubble is high in the glass and dinners are elabo- rate and costly, the rest of the country is apt to be enjoying good times. There will be homeward journey from Lon don to Newport because travellers though few acquired titles like that of Dr. Osler) have new feathers in their caps. Only at Newport will there be pleasure from prestige gained abroad from the favor of queen or peeress.

 When she was successful in her studies when we'd go out for our daily walk in the afternoon, she'd trip along like a deer, but when she failed in a quiz, or made a mess of a recitation, she would stand the viaduct we used to walk over and stop and look at the trains and say:
