BIRD PLUMAGE IN MEMS HATS

Now that men are going to wear bits
of plumage in the bands of their hats
"a revival of by-gone style when the
peacOck's feather was popular with the
eye-it might be we'll for the legisla-
lures of the various states to regulate
the number of feathers that a man may
wear in his hat band so as TO protect
the peacock from becoming extinct, es-
pecially in foreign lands where 1t is
most prolific. What is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander in
bird plumage legislation. Should any
one attempt TO legislate on what man
should wear the probability IS that our
law makers would show the white
feather and pair off, abstain from vot-
ing. or absent themselves from legisla-

CONVICT LEASE COMPARED
WITH PUBLIC WORKS

The legislature will probably decide
this week whether the cenvicts or the
state are to continue under the controi
of the highest bidder for their work
or being employed on the public works,
principally roads, of the state.
There has been for years a powerful
sentiment against leasing the convicts,
and Ii continually grows stronger. rms
sentiment is praiSeworthy, but we
fear il is in a large degree mistaken
1t is based principally on the belief
that the convicts will be better treat
eded under the direct control of the
state which belief, in the Stars opin-
ion, is a mistaken one; also, we fear,
that most of the people who consider
the convicts. forget that they are sent
to the penitentiary as a punishment
for crime and not as a reward for
merit.
The following safe and sane re-
marks from the Tampa Times regard
ing Hillsborough's convicts will apply
very we'll to the system all over the
state
THE Times has a very decided opin-
ion upon the main question out Of
which the present disputed situation
grows; namely, which system is pre-
ferable, the leasing of the convicts as
heretofore. or working them upon the
public roads? During the tendency OF
the primary campaign preceding the
election at which this question was, a.
least temporarily, decided. we took the
ground that the lease system was the
better. Nothing has come TO our knoWl
edge since tending to change our opin
ion in this regard, but. on the contrary
there has been much 70 confirm an'
strengthen it. We believe that tn
voters Of the county, in the election t
which we have referred, allowed
mawkish sentimentality to blind thei

OPINIONS OF TWO OFFICERS

4 few days ago, Captain Leary OF |
the Georgia state troops returned from
the Texas maneuvers. and gave II as
his opinion, which was of course tele-
graphed all over the country, tnat
there was no opportunity for natlonal
guard officers to learn anything IN
Texas; that there were, in fact, no
maneuvers: nothing but camps, and not
instructive ones at that
1t is interesting to not only military
men but the civilian to compare Cap
tain Leary's opinion with that OF
Tampa officer, as expressed in the
Times of that city:
After spending several weeks at
the front Lieut.. Alvie E. McGrew, ad-
iutant of the first battalion, second IN
fantry has returned home. The OF
ficer was detailed by the war depart
ment to represent the service from
| this city. He speaks very interesting
! ~ of the manner in which the pig ma
neuvers of the regular army are car
ried out, and says that the instruction.
which is given the military officers,
who are in attendance, is lnValuaple'
While he has been in the state service
for years, Lieutenant McGrew says
that he has derived much additional

speaks in glowing terms of the regu-
lar army officers, who give the militia
men the best attention and treat them
then as though they were regulars.
speaking of the big maneuver camp
at Fort Sam Houston, the officer says
that there are about $4,000 soldiers en-
camped there. From a sanitary stand
point the camp is ideal The problem
Of sanitation is one that has been wei
carried out, there being little sickness
in camp. Not one case OF typhoid lev

STANDARD OIL SMASHED
United States Supreme Court Decides
that the Gigantic Corporation IL .

Months.

Washington. May l6.-The Standard |
Oil Company of New Jersey and its
nineteen subsidiary corporations were
declared yesterday by the supreme
court of the United States TO be a con-
spiracy and combination in restraint or
trade. II was held also TO be monopo-
lizing interstate commerce in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law me

dered TO take place within six months.

ace TO the Industrial and economic ad-
vancement of the entire country.

| preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as 10 limit its applications TO acts of
undue" restraint Of trade and not "ev-
cry restraint of trade" 1t was on this
point that the only discordant note
was heard in the court. Justice Har-
Ian dissented. claiming that cases al

mined once for all that the words "un-
due" or unreasonable" or similar
words, were not in the statute. He
/ declared that the reasoning OF the
l court in arriving at its findings was In
effect legislation which belonged in
every instance to Congress and not &c
/ the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case il
| the lower court room, the United

l has been expressed by the cuisines:

l so as not TO interfere with what wa:
