Congressman Captain Hobso

Congressman Captain Robson seems
determined to keep such money as
comes into the possession of the United
States in circulation. He has let up
long enough in his campaign for the
construction of more and larger battle
ships to introduce a bill ir congress
providing for the construction of two
cross-country auto highways, one to
run from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and the other from Canada to Mexico.

eff everybody will come with clean
hands and a pure purpose into the
common game of life there need be no
clash or hurtful rivalry. 1t is only
when part tries to dominate the
whole that society must rise in its
might and restore the proper balance. :"
This was said by Governor Wilson of
New Jersey at San Francisco on the
very day that the supreme court of the
United States did this very thing in
ordering the dissolution oe the Stand
ard OIL company.

Some of those who were loudest in
their demands that the Standard Oil
company be annihilated are now in
sisting that the decision of the United
States supreme court which brings this
about is a doubtful victory. All of
which goes to show that pleasing some
people is an impossibility.

1t appears that Mr.. Maxse is peeved
about something. But can you blame
one who spells his name, which should
be 'Macks," with an ''s'' and an "x"?
Think it over.
After reading the editorial by Mr..
Maxse, we feel that, outside of a few
things mentioned in the above and
other paragraphs, Mr.. AsQuith may be
all right.
Mr.. Maxse also refers to Mr.. Asquith
as "cold-blooded flat-fish.'' Oh.

1.-THE Standard Oil company has fl

existence. It got busted in time for
the afternoon papers. Daily Mer-
curry.

the discovery of commendab1e acts on
the part of the Oil Trust, the office
Sherlockholmes slips us the tip that
the Mercury has not purchased any of
the Kansas independent oil company
stock which is owned exclusively by
reform politicians.
The backwardneSs of the cannibals
in accepting religion, may be due TO
the grade of missionaries furnished.
Missionary societies should take this
into consideration, and refrain from
sending out the cheaper, tougher cuts.
