What Christmas Presents

This depends much upon the persons to
whom you make them, but in more
cases than you probably imagine, no
present could be made which would con-
tribute more to the welfare of the recip-
lent than a deposit book in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank.
This Bank never declines a deposit be-
cause 1t is small. Any sum from single
cent to a million dollars will be received
and per cent interest allowed, COM
pounded semi-annually.
Remember the Bank pays all taxes and
If the donor wishes to qualify the de-
post by saying ii must not be withdrawn
until some specified day, as for instance
when the recipient is is or 81 years OF
age, it is entirely proper to make the de-
post in this way.
Let the pass-book be accompanied by
a nice letter from the donor to the recip-
lent urging thrift and suggesting that
this little nest egg be added 20 from time
to time as the recipient has few coppers
that he or she can save

Failed to Accomplish object.

The Athletics opened the basketball
season in Festival hall with a we'll
earned victory over the Crescents OF
Keene by the score of 50 to As. About
300 persons watched the contest. An
extra period of five minutes was required
to determine the winner. At the end of
the third period the score was A to A.
The game was marked by fast playing
which kept the crowd on edge
Brattleboro made six points in the
first two minutes of play, and during
the rest of the period 1t looked as
though the home team would have an
easy victory as the Crescents, although
they had numerous opportunities to
score could not find the basket. The
period ended with the home team in the
lead, 20 to 9. In the second period the
Crescents put more pep" into their
work and scored 20 points while the To-
calls were making 16. Both teams had
warmed up and the work of Kepple was
particularly good, scoring 10 points. In
this period the visitors did some hne
passing and kept the ball in their pos
session much of the time. In the last
period both teams played fast and the
visitors tied the score. 1t was decided
to play a minute period to decide
the winner and when Oscar Whitney put
the ball through the net in the first
minute of play the crowd rushed upon
the the floor thinking the game was
through The players were somewhat
Handicapped by the crowd but soon
Whitney made another basket Manager
Henrickson of the Crescent ran upon the
floor and offered his men a So bill for
winning score. Lindstrom scored two
baskets for the visitors, tying the score
again, and then Boutwell, and Ellis each
scored two points for the home team and
the game was over.
The game was clean, only two tries for
goals from fouls being made. The WISH
tors passed well and Lindstrom, Brad
bury and Kepple eXcelled for their team.
Fortier did not show up well and was
replaced in the third period by Wood
For the home team Boutwell,, Ellis, and
and Riley played well and the Whitneys
made some good throws. Big Dan
Riley, who has been out of the game
some time, came back" and Moore,
formerly of Gardner, who took his place
in the second period, looked promising
Dunlevy went into the game in the last
period and did some good passing and
lodging. Between the periods the Ath-

penny herring his silved-eyed
beefsteak, and there are hundreds
cooking every minute in london
town where one is eaten here.
Any time of the year a big part o.
this city would profit by eating
fish for a spell instead of beet.
With no open air exercise beef
is a heap harder than fish for the
body to get rid of, because there
is a good deal more water in fish
than in beef or pork. Fish are
fat or lean. Eel, salmon, herring
are more than five per cent greese,
Halibut and mackerel are two to
five per cent. fat; cod, whiting.

Procession of suffragettes

London, June 17.-Led by "Gen
eral'' Mrs. Drummond, astride a
fine charger, a colossal coronation
procession of Suffragettes, est
mated at from forty to fifty thou,
sand women, marched through the
streets of London tonight prepare
tory to the meeting at Albert ;ali.
The parade is said to have
been the greatest procession OF
women in support of the suffrage
movement the world has ever seen,
marched in a five mile formation
from the Victoria Embankment
which leads east from Westminis-
ter Bridge and proceeded along
the coronation route to Kensing-
ton. Militant and non-militant
sufragettes combied on this oc-
casien, all question of caste was
nut aside, and queens and those
CARRIED to represent such charac-
tiers as Boadicea, Catherine of Ara
gon, Mary Queen of Scots and
Victoria, rubbed shoulders with
fellow workers In the suffrage
ause from the sweat shops of
White Chapel.
Every phase of social, profess
sional and industrial life, was re-
presented, among the paraders be-
ing women of title, prominent ac-
tresses and collegians. Hundreds
of historic characters from the
early ages down to famous Vic
torian life. Charlotte Bronte,
Grace Darling, Jenny Lind and
Mrs. Browning were portrayed.

Combination.
Collier Weeklv

Blind hostility to the tendency
of capital to combine In large
units is only likely to bring about
reaction. What we need is to
discover methods by which bust
less car be conducted with eff
eient modern methods, without
being allowed to develop into mo-
nopolies. In the original sense
of monopoly there is now none.
except the monopoly limited in
time, of the patent. What we
mean at present by a monopoly
is a combination strong enough
TO control prices. Competition
must be saved to an extent suff-
cient to prevent that control, but
the world now fully understands
that unrestricted competition
is death. The Sherman Act is a
criminal statute. When it is fully
understood what kind Of combi-
nation are illegal, further ofenses
should be punished by imprison-
ment. Directors will then hesti.
tate to take risks. Unless, how
ever, the Legislature feels allie to
do what it has never yet done
describe in exact words the line
to- be drawn-the courts must in
terpret general phrases in the
light of reason. as they did In
interpreting the common law
Without such Interpretation the
Sherman Act would undoubtedly
become absurd. Study of the de-
bates in Congress at the time the
act was passed, although the
courts cannot take them into con-
sideration, supports the interpre-
tation of the Supreme Court in
the Standard Oil decision.

EIection "a Sanatnra

Concerning direct elections of
Senators we don't care very much
one way or the other. To our
mind, its attractions and disad-
vantages balance about nearly as
could be. Looking at the matter
from this standpoint, we trust
that an unquestionably objection
able feature Of the present propo-
sition In the form of Senator Bris-
tow's neutrality-suspicious. amend
ment will be eliminated before the
final vote. Apparently there is
every reason to believe that the
large Democratic majority in the
House will refuse its assent. The
fact, too, that the Objectionable
amendment only carried the Sen
ate by Vice President Sherman s
deciding vote, while both branches
of Congress have voted for direct
election, indicates that the resolu-
ton will be finally accepted In its
original form. The action of
twenty-eight Democratic Senators
In voting for the Senate resolu-
ton, Bristow amendment and all.
is an almost pathetic witness how
much they feared lest opponents
should seek to accuse them of not
voting for direct election at every
opportunity they had. Either
from some such motive or through
sheer perversity, Senator Clarke
of Arkansas even voted for the
Bristow amendment itself.
As regards this amendment it
has been correctly argued that the
present constitutional status of
senatorial elections is not changed
thereby. What Southern Con
gressmen object ton reality-is
the fact that Congress would be
reviving and reafirming a Federal
prerogative through which the
South suffered many things a gen
Grafton ago and which by general
consent has been permitted to
lapse. luis a dead letter now and
they do not want it to become
anything else.
After Congress has finally
shaped and enacted a direct7elect-
ton resolution that resolution will
go before the legislatures of the
several states, three-fourths of
which are necessary for ratifying
any proposed constitutional
change. We hardly think that
even with the Bristow amend
ment-because the contingencies
involved are very remote-it
would need to inspire alarmed
antagonism in the South. Ger
tainly it should not be one-tenth
