STANDARD OIL

Thirty-six Arms of the Octopus VII

NEW YORK, May 20.-That The
thirty-six corporations included IN
the Standard Oil Co will be divided
into half dozen Independent cor,
porations, each of which will return
TO their stockholders not less than six
per cent year, or thirty-six per cen.
in all. is the present belief in Wall
street. This would make an even bet
ter investment than Standard Oil is
at present, and it is because of this
fact that Standard Oil has steadily
increased in value since the mandate
of the United States supreme court
ordering it dissolved was handed
down
In its Issue Of Monday Financial
America will give this as the reason
for the present boom in Wall street.
II will also point out that the, case
is far from settled because the su
preme court remanded the question
of how the Standard is to be dissolv
ed back to the circuit court
The orders of that court" the
newspaper will say, may take sucn
shane that an appeal from the order
will be taken and another long period
of litigation ensue
4 THE awakening from lethargy in
the market promises to be well main
tanned for some time to come. So far
as can be learned, there has been no
special decrease in the excessive
short account created on the various
bear movements since last summer.
The returns of borrowed stock
during the week were only moder.
ate, and were more than offset by
fresh borrowings, leaving a powerful
incentive to further advance In
this huge short account"

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., May 90
Organized labor's fight on the steel
trust and other big corporations which
operate seven days week and on
twelve hour shifts, received an I'M
expected support at today's session of
the Presbyterian general assembly.
The special committee. on Sabbath
observance which has been investiga-
ting reasons for the falling off in
church attendance. placed most of the
blame on modern labor conditions. It
recommended that the Presbyterian
church come to the assistance of the
labor organizations and aid in compel
ling capital to work its employees not
more than six days a week.
The sentiment that laboring men
should strike for a six day week, de,
clared the committee, as we'll as an
eight hour day, is growing Such
sentiment should not be confined to
the labor organizations. They deserve
the active support of all good citizens,
and especially the Presbyterian
church
The committee also denounced Sun
ay sport. including Sunday aviation
meetings, golf meetings and Sunday
real estate auctions

Why We Shake Hands.

A writer in the New York Sun has
unearthed the following explanation
of a common custom:
How many of us, for instance, know
why friends shake hands when they
meet? The Chinese are said to shake
their own hands in greeting. with an
air Of cordial delight Why do people
of the so-called civilized nations pre-
fer to shake each other by the hand
We are told that it is an old Roman
custom, spread by the Romars
throughout the countries OF
their dominion. Shaking hands
means, You are my friend.
Believe it for the excellent
reason that if you were not l should
draw my sword And how could ]
draw my sword with my shield upon
my left arm and my right hand firmly
clasped in yours ~ So when we shake
hands we are merely saving in the
pantomine of ancient Rome. There
is peace and good will between us
for our swords are in their scab
bards.

A Look Around, in Iowa.

Davenport. Democrat: Have you
been out in the country lately? If
not, you are missing treat Every
yard that contains a few fruit trees is
a picture, for the trees were never
fuller of bloom or of promise of fruit.
There is a gorgeousness of color, n
fragrance and a charm everywhere
that makes you wonder how those
thousands OF Californians who went
west from Iowa ever were induced to
change their abode.
The robin, the catbird, the wren.
and all the feathered songsters are
making the air melodious with music;
there is a tang in the air that brings
one back to the city refreshed for tho
duties of another dav or week. Gar
dens are being planted. the plow is
turning the furrow on fields that next
fall will be golden it'll q genuine
Iowa crop of corn. Everywhere there
are evidences that this is great state

indent the great scheme OF things
Iowans should take inventory OF
their blessings this spring. Set them

are sometimes inclined to complain
of, and see if the latter do not look
petty and insignificant when com
pared TO the beauties of nature and
the wealth Of gifts and opportunities

the lack of continuity in the Amerl-
can diplomatic service in the follow
1 ing terms:
In contrast TO the practice adopt
ed by most other countries, there are
very frequent changes in the Ameri-
! can diplomatic service, whose mem.
hers depend rather upon the political
& eNinsencies of the moment in their
own country than on any regular sys-
tenn OF appointment. In Berlin, Rus
STA, Austria, Italy and Spain have
been represented by their present
ambassadors for periods varying from
twelve to twenty years. and Eng
lands last ambassador filed his post
in the German capital for nearly fif-
teen years. The United States. on
the contrary. seems to appoint a new
ambassador once in every three or
four years. with the result that the
American representatives to the
kaiser's court is never so complete
" established in his post as are the
diplomats of the European powers.
The same lack Of consistency may
be noted throughout the American
diplomatic service Ambassadors are
appointed, recalled and dismissed
much as business man may engage
and discharge the junior member of
his Office staff Attaches come and
so with the rapidly OF meteors.
These features OF the American
diplomatic service introduce an ele- /
ment OF unrest into the foreign rep
resentation of the United States and (
creates certain difficulties for other
countries in maintaining diplomatic
intercourse with the state depart
ment in Washington
Here is still more severe criti-
cism:
The entire American diplomatic
service nay be described as second
rate. It's members are not selected
for any particular qualities which fit
them for their posts. but for political
and personal reasons.
TO begin with. the salaries OF the
American ambassadors re so small
and Inadequate that the important
posts can only be filed by men of +.
considerable wealth This feature
alone eliminates efficiency and places
pIutocracv in its place.
Moreover. America does not even
select the best of her rich men to be
her ambassadors abroad. II her in
iustrfal magnates and leaders Of com
nerce could be induced to come
abroad to act as ambassadors. they
would of course inspire that resrect
which is due TO their marvellous
in their previous
spheres of activity. AS a general rule.
however, American diplomatists are
men of comparatively obscure achieve
ments who are pitchforked into their
posts owing to their monetary means
and the political influence which they
hereby. command in their own country.
It is quite clear that this diminishes
the general prestige of the American
Diplomatic corps
The criticisms OF the American din
lomatic service printed in connection
with DR. Hits resignation in the
German press have been widely COP
led in the newspapers of Russia, Aus
tria and other Euronean countries,
with the result that these unfavorable
opinions Of the United states foreign
are being scattered
broadcast on this side OF the Atlantic.
