Feed for Work Animals.

Any farm animal that does a large
amount of work needs and wants a
good supply of feed. Hard work
makes good appetite whether the
animal be a work horse pulling a
pillow or a milk COW filling big pail
twice a day. Both are machines and
both must have fuel. Upon the guam
tity and utilization of this fuel will
depend the amount of work done. A
good milk COW must be a good feeder
and then she must have a good sup
ply OF the right kind OF feed.

but In applying the light of reason to
these combinations the courts condem-
nation is SO minute and searching and
drastic in scorching the monopoly faint

to be applied by the inferior courts; not

A Proud Possessor.

1 know . queer monopolist. You never get
a chance
To tell your hard luck story when he's
busy with his own.
He never notices the flowers. He never
gives q glance
At all the bits OF beauty which into
each path are thrown.
He does not boast Of boarded gold nor OF
his bonds nor stocks.
He even says his interest in life is
rather small.
He never talks OF treasure guarded safe
by bolts and locks.
But when it comes to trouble-why he
thinks he has them all!
We're all collectors in plain or scientific
way:
Some gather mighty dollars; some are
hunting butterflies:
Some seek for wisdom; others are alert
for stories gay
And some are always busy just collect
ing tears and sighs.

Memorial Day.

Thoughts of many millions Of Amer
icAns are given up today to the host
who have crossed the river of life into
the great beyond. Loving hands have
twined the country's' flag around statues
of and monuments to national heroes,
and have strewn flowers over countless
graves Unnumbered voices have been
raised today in memory of men who fell
on battleields. went down at sea, died
OF battle wounds in hospitals, or. hav-
ing survived the crash Of war, closed
their eyes amid peaceful scenes. 1t is
day of pious and glorious sentiment.
Though twisted by multitudes from its
reverent significance into a joyous hoi-
iday, Memorial day will always remain
to the vast majority of thoughtful and
devoted Americans a season for patriotic
contemplation and for praise of vaIor
and fidelity.
Forty-three Memorial days have passed.
IT was on May ), 1868, that Gen. John
A. Logan. then commander-in chief of
the G. A. r., issued an order appointin :
the Both of May for Grand Army serv-
ices in decorating comrades graves. Au-
thority has said that Gen. Logan chose
Nay 80 because it was the date of the
discharge Of the last Union volunteer of
the civil war. The custom of thus re-
membering fallen soldiers was observed
by states Of the south on days when
the flower season was at Its height be-
fore the issue of Gen. Logan's order.
From soldier custom it has spread. un-

Memorial day is of deep significance
in Washington. near which so many gal
liant men went to death in the battles
blast. In and around which SO many SOL
der dead are sleeping. in the popula. ion
of which are so many survivors of the
conflict that shook the world, and among
the people Of which are SO many of the
widows and children of men who fol-
lowed battle flags.

The Second Trust Jolt.

The expected happened, and no furry
in the business world should follow the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
Of the tobacco trust Both public ana
trust were looking for what they re-
ceived. Even in the matter OF time al
lowance for complying with the court 8
decree calculation had been made. Six
months for the Standard Oil Company
argued six months for the. tobacco trust.
The allowance should be sufficient in both
cases.
Not only was this decision expected,
but now that II has come 1t will be wide
ly approved. The Standard Oil Company
has led the tobacco trust in popular exc
Grafton only because of it's longer life
and more extensive operations. The
younger evil has done its best during its
years and with its opportunities. and has
been brought to book with none too great
emphasis. 1t has been both a successful
and a conscious violator of the law. and
the courts condemnation is justified in
every word and suggestion.
At last. as would appear. we have
reached "trust-busting" conditions and
accomplishments. There is life In the old
antitrust law, SO long neglected, and,
for time, openly derided. In the hands
of authorities dead in earnest and alto
gether capable. 1t Is proving what 1t was
designed to bean instrument of value
in the public behalf. What has been done
with it and under 1t to the Standard Oil
Company and the tobacco trust can be
done to other offenders. And there are
others. 1t is promised, too. that these
two successes will encourage further ac-
tivities by the government, and that other
trusts will be made to feel the laws
force.
And yet, vindicated as the law at last
has been. the vindication will not discour-
age the effort to have the law amended
brought up, to date and strengthened. We
should see that effort play a prominent
part at the regular session of Congress.
and just in time to figure prominently in
the presidential campaign. One point
urged will be that the law is twenty
years old. and another will be that the
trusts Of today, both because Of their
number and complicated character. should
be dealt with in the light Of all that their
growth and latest iniquities have dis
closed. Adequate punishments should be
made to At the actual situation.
Meanwhile the closest attention, by the
business. the political. the legal and the
legislative world, Will be given to the car
rying out of the Supreme Courts orders
by the two convicted combinations. 1t
will not be possible for them to do any
thing In q corner. The whitest light will
beat upon them and their legal advisers
In every step taken. Evasions will be
most difficult. The finest Of fine work will
be brought under. the closest scrutiny:
and II Is hardly necessary to say that the
public will be In no mood for any at
tempts of either business or legal char
acter to whip a certain distinguished in
dividual around the stump. The decree of
the court Is. and the demand of the peo-
pie will now be more earnest than ever,
that criminal trusts must go; and If the
antitrust law Is amended, the amend
ment or amendments will be with the
sole view Of making the road of
monopoly harder than ever to travel.
