AS honest as the horse between my knees

Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze.
Forgive me, Lord when sometimes forget:
You understand the reasons that are hid
Yon know about the things that gall and fret,
You know me better than my mother did,

Just right sometimes when turn aside

LECTURE ON HAWAII.

Los Angeles Examiner: About

lecture of Mrs. King Headlee on

The lecture was illustrated with
many stereopticon views throughout
manifested by the audience. AL
though her lecture largely on Homo

told stories of the principal points OF
interest of all the islands.
In her lecture she took her audi

MAKING Or POLITICAL PEERS
PRESENTS INTERESTING PROBLEMS

LONDON, July 18.-There is mucn
curiosity on the part Of politicians
over the cabinets list of political
peers. That a list has been made
and is awaiting the possibility of its
use in the event that this is necessary
to obtain the passage of the veto bill
in the House of Lords is no doubt.
The governments spokesman have
said repeatedly within the last week
that Premier Asquith was prepared to
meet all contingencies of the situa-
ton in all details, which is taken to
mean that he has hidden up his
sleeve two leading sources of supply,
these being the eldest sons of Liberal
peers and members of Parliament.
The proposal to ennoble the eldest
sons presents an amusing phase of
the revolution. Peers of baronial
rank think that if their sons are en-
nobled they themselves should be
promoted to be viscounts when their
sons are made barons.
Some of the more prominent men,
bers of Parliament who are not ad-
verse to joining the nobility cherish
the idea that if host of barons are
to be poured into the upper house, of
which a large proportion must be
commonplace persons, they are en-.
titled to acquire the higher distinction
of viscountships."
Many Difficulties.
Drawing on the House of Commons
for new lords presents difficulties. #
one hundred or more members of the
lower chamber are taken a miniature
general election will be necessary to
fill their places and the country and
politicians alike are tired to death
of elections with the consequent tur-
MOL, expense and disturbance to bust
mess. Moreover the government can
not afford to risk taking members OF
Parliament except from safe Liberal
constituencies.
Social Standing Dubious.
The exact social status of the new
peers, if Matched, is the subject of nc
little speculation, Conservatives pro
fess to believe that they will be
looked on with amusement and con
tempt. One writer says that Amerl
can heiresses are far too shrewd t.
find such quasi-noblemen objects y
their ambition. Another suggests the
addition of the title of count to the
British peerage for the purpose o.

properties now included under the
Standard Oil name has created.
The Real Issue.
The real question behind the disso-
luton of the Standard Oil Company
and of the American Tobacco Com
pany is not the distribution to the
stockholders of the subsidiary compa-
MES of their property in such form
that they may carry it in their own
name, but, instead, is the effect of dis
solution upon general commercial and
manufacturing conditions as these
have been in the past represented by
the Standard Oil Company and the
American Tobacco Company. Suppose
the American Tobacco Company APP
proaches the circuit court with as sim
pie a proposition as this-namely, the
American Tobacco Company proposes
to dissolve absolutely. 1t proposes to
distribute among the stockholders of
the subsidiary companies pro rata all
the properties to which they are en-
titled. When that is done, it proposes
absolutely to step aside, so that each
one of these now independent but
formerly subsidiary companies may
direct its affairs in accordance with
the ideas of competition and manage
ment which formerly prevailed. That
would be dissolution not only in ac-
cordance with the letter, but in the
spirit of the Supreme Courts decision.
1t would involve no confiscation of
property, for there would be equable
distribution pro rata to every stock
holder of each subsidiary company.
But what would be the effect upon
manufacture, trade, the tobacco-grow-
ing industry?
So, also, were the Standard Oil
Company to offer similar proposition
to the circuit court, what then? There
are all sorts of conjectures as to the
possible effect. Some proclaim that
in that event we should have free and
full competition; but would that be
the best thing in the long run? Sup
pose the American Sugar Company be
dissolved and the various subsidiary
companies receive back their perfect
independence. Would they be able,
each acting unfortunately of the
other, each ignoring the principle of
cooperation, to accomplish what the
so-called Sugar Trust unquestionably
did do, namely, bring the price of re-
fined sugar down to such point that
it is as commonly used upon the poor
mans table as it is upon the rich
mans? 1t does seem as though, after
dissolution, it is imperative that some
method be provided which is accept
able to the courts and which is based
upon the principle of cooperation.

FUTURE OF THE TWO BIG TRUSTS

NEW YORK, July 1.-two facts
may be reported with respect to the
action to be taken by the Standard
Oil Company and by the American
Tobacco Company in conformity with
the decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court. One is that both of
these companies are to be dissolved,
and the other that the dissolution is
to be absolute in the sense that there
will be no attempt by subterfuge to
observe the letter of the law while
disobeying its spirit. There can be
no reorganization until after the
method of dissolution has been work
ed out and approved by the circuit
courts. For that reason all the Cos
sip respecting the manner in which
the properties controlled by these two
companies may, Notwithstanding the
restoration of their perfect independ-
ence, still be directed by some cen
trail authority is mere guesswork.
If there be dissolution in good faith
of the American Tobacco Company
and of the Standard Oil Company,
that undoubtedly means that there
can be no other organizations to take
the places heretofore held by these
companies. And yet any business
man can see that if the various sub
sidiary companies of the Standard Oil
Company are resolved into a condi-
ton of absolute independence, and if
there be no cooperation between the
various arrangements, then there are
sure to occur business disturbances
in the whole field of petroleum pro-
ducing, oil refining and marketing.
These may, SO far as the public is
concerned, cause a great restraint of
trade or, on the other hand, bring
about wasteful competition which,
although it might increase trade for a
| time, would be in the long run
more harmful than would be possible

ton were maintained So far as the
division pro rata among the various
subsidiary companies of properties

Gates is concerned, that problem, com
plicated as it is, is not as difficult, or
at least as important, as is the one
which will arise after their indepent
ence has been restored to the subsid
larry companies. Any competent &C
tuary should be able to figure out a
pro rata distribution of these proper
ties. If it were possible to get at the
vastly complicated and intertwined
tangle of underlying securities which
were characteristic of the old Rich
mond Terminal Company, it should
be possible to solve the problem

MorIey's Curious Position.
The urgent summons issued by
Lord Morley of Blackburn to the
Liberal followers in the House of
Lords yesterday. calling upon all sup
porters of the parliamentary bill to be
present in anticipation of a formal
division on the third reading, places
him in a curious position. There is
nc intention on the part of the reg
ular opposition to throw out the meas
ure on it's third reading.
The possible attitude of the free
lance Unionists is what Lord Morley
fears, and hence his summons of stall
wart Radicals, only forty-six of whom
were present to support the second
reading of the veto bill, to attend
next Thursday.
