regards questions of restraint of trade
The delay in announcing the Trust de-
cisions has suggested deadlock of
four to four in the court. l have no
direct information that such is the
case. but it will be remembered that
Mr.. Justice Van Devanter was one of
the four judges who unanimously de-
cided against the Standard Oil COM
pany in the st. Louis decision from
which the present appeal to the SUI
preme court was taken. Mr.. Justice
Van Devanter will, it is understood,
very properly decline to take part in
the decision of the higher tribunal of
which he has recently become men,
Der, and the court, for the purpose of
the Trust decisions. is thus reduced to
eight members.
| can see no reason to change the
opinion recently expressed in these
advices that even at the worst an adj
verse ruling in the Trust cases by the
Supreme court would not be a vital
matter. 1t would merely mean that
legal methods of doing business must
in the future, be pursued by our great
industrial corporations. There is nc
question of punishment or penalty in.

ings. and whatever reimbursement is
necessary to meet the views of our
highest tribunal will undoubtedly be
met. Standard Oil interests have in
the past proven themselves to be such
shrewd merchants and manufacturers

men--that it would be childish to sup
pose that they have not exercised
their full powers in connection with
this important development i'll their
business to prepare themselves
promptly to accept the ruling of the
Court, whatever it may prove to be.
1t is also desirable to bear in mind
that the proposed tariff revision can
hardly result in changes of the exceed
ingly drastic character that was prom
ised Immediately after the last cleo
ton. Shrewd Washington observers
already see reactionary trend In

spectacular reductions is develop

This same plan may possibly later be

FARMERS TO BENEFIT

Chicago. May 8.-The clearing house

en- up by the committee in Chicago as
promising results more effective than
county associations which are without
a definite plan. A bulletin OF the crop

the scientific farming methods which
you have been preaching, too often
fall upon barren ground. The rail-
roads have had the same experience,

agricultural colleges and many other

tempting the improvement OF farm
conditions and crops in quality and

IL. how to harmonize these many bene-
ficent efforts and bring them home to
each community? How can we make
every man realize that better methods
are to his especial proAt? We cannot
expect any man to work very long un-

WIRE MERGER WILL
HAVE ADVANTAGES

Chicago, May s. hree persons tele-
ing away over the same wires at the
same time between Chicago and New
York. this latest achievement In COM
munication has given impetus to the
idea that a merger of telephone and
telegraph companies into one concern
with a single operating staff is an in
evitable outcome in the future. The
telephons circuits harnessed to tele-
graph instruments have been nut into
operation by making third circuit
from each two circuits by connecting
the positive wire of one with the mega
tive wire of the other. For telegraph
ing one wire can be divided at will in
to two. four or eight circuits. The re-
suit is an enormous saving in the capt.
tai investment and in facilities for,
under old methods, each costly copper
circuit from Chicago to New York was
available for only one conversation at
a time. AS telephone facilities have
greater first cost than telegraph.
while the operating expenses of the
telegraph are much greater than the
telephone. the merger idea now is seri-
ously considered as was shown recent
ly in the annual report of President
Vail of the Bell system and Of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
"The large economic waste incident to
separate service" said President Vail.
could be almost entirely eliminated
by joint use or occupancy and by
bringing the business entirely under
one common control or influence the
efficiency and reputation of the SER
vice could be greatly improved" This
statement was contained in his annual
report in which President Vain indoors
ed the regulation of public utility cor
porations by permanent commissions.
I'VE believe that the future develop
ment of the wire system in the United
States" he said. will afford facilities
for the humiliation of both time and
distance by the general use of electri-
cal transmission for written or per-
sonal communications, and will afford
electrical communication of every kind
OF intelligence from every one at every
place to every one at every other
place. 1t will be comprehensive, uni
versai."

WOMAN REFORMER IN EGYPT
Several Improvements Urged by Ba-
hisat-Al-Badia Are Now Laws
in That Country.

Bahisat-al-Badia is said to be the
most popular woman of her race in
Egypt. She has taken part in various
movements to help Egyptian women.
At a recent congress she. delivered
an address setting forth the needs of
the Mohammedan women and calling
on the members of the congress to
support laws to help them. The con-
gress voted in favor of six of the re-
forms she proposed-that every girl
should receive common school edu-
cation, that in every school there
should be an educated woman to
teach the girls good manners and the
rudiments of religion, that as sooD
as practical a university school should
be established for women, that ply.
sician and a nurse to aid women in
childbirth should be maintained in
every city and village. that special
schools be established where girls
should be taught housekeeping and
the care of children and that the hirs
ing of women to stand about bier
and beat their heads and faces at
funerals forbidden.
When Bahisat-al-Badia proposed that
the women of Egypt should be allowed
to attend the mosque, pointing out
| that this privilege had been enjoyed
by Turkish women for years, there
was an uproar in the congress. When
she tried to have the question OF
| polygamy discussed there was great
| tumult, every member of the congress

How ENGLAND Grows,

A great deal of interest is taken In
England in the question of coast pro
lection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away. but
this very process furnishes defense
for the land by building up long beach
es OF sand and single which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs. An effort is making to prevent
or better regulate, the removal of this
material for construction and road
building, because In many places Its
removal has permitted the sea freely
to exert its power of erosion.
The Ordinance Survey has ascer
tanned that in the last thirty-five year,
England has lost 5000 acres by ses
erosion. and gained $4,000 acres
through reclaiming land the existence
Of which is mainly due to materia
brought down by the rivers. -From TIL

DEATH OF MISS FANNIE
RITENCUR,

Strasburg, Va, Nov. 12-Miss
Fannie Ritenour was found uncon-
scious in her home on High street
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning
She lived alone and the attack came
evidently as she was walking across
the floor. She was found lying prone
upon the floor by Browning Stickley,
who went to her home to take her
some del;cacies.
Miss Ritenour was last seen NOV
ing about Friday morning. Il is not
known when she was stricken, but it
was some time that morning. Mr.
Stickley went to the house and found
the door locked. There was no re-
Spouse to his knock and he entered
the house by window and found
Miss Ritenour lying upon the floor
He Immediately notified some of the
women living close by and they went
to the house and placed the helpless
woman in bed. Then Mr.. Stickley
went for DR.. Crawford, and he re,
sponded Immediately He founded
that Miss Ritenour was totally para
lyzed on the left side.
Miss Ritenour has been living
alone part of the time since the death
of her sister several years ago. She
spent the rest of the time with Mrs. W.
D. Stickley, the mother of Browning
Stickley. She could have made her
home constantly with Mrs. Stickley
if she would have done so, but the
love for her home was SO strong in
her that she insisted on staying at
home part of the time. Miss Lucy
Ludwig. who lives opposite the Riten-
our home, made it her business to
see Miss Ritenour lacked for nothin @
and went to the house frequently. She
did not go there Friday, because she
supposed Miss Rittenour was at Mrs
Stickley's.
Miss Ritenour is more than 70 years
old. She has been in a feeble con-
dition for some years. She belonged
to one Of the Oldest families in town
and her home at Depot and High
streets is one of the landmarks Ct
Strasburg. When she was a child
the family lived in the house now oc-
cnpied by Harvey Snapp. Miss
Rittenour has one brother, Thomas
Ritenour.
Miss Ritenour died on Saturday
night and was buried on Monday.
