DIR. EVANS RECEIVES
 NEW CALL FORMALLY
Not Yet Ready to Give Answer to Honor Extended By Hamp-
 ton, Va, Church

Dr. w. F.. Evans, rector of the Church O. the Advent, received the official call to the rectorship of St. Johns Episcopal church at Hampton, Va, through the mail yesterday. The news of the call was printed several days ago as a dis ra tch from Hampton, but pr. Evans did not have any direct and authoritative message of the honor conferred until yes terday. When questioned in regard to the possible acceptance or refusal of the Hampton call Dr. Evans declined to loake any statement at present.
 There are few ministers in Birmlng- ham who have so endeared themselves not only to the people of his own congre- gation, but to those of all creeds Tn the period of five years spent here, as pr. Evans has done. Since the publication of the prospective call. many business and professional men of the city have gone to him and personally requested him to re- main with the Church of the Advent. His sphere of influence has not been bounded by his clerical duties only. but he has been identified with literary circles and is considered a writer of unusual ability. He is director of the Shakespeare club, which is composed of number or women who meet to study the dramas of the English poet every fortnight, and through the religious force and eloquence of his sermon he has attained an en- viable position among the pulpit orators of this city.
 Should Dr. Evans decide in favor Of the riampton church, his departure would be n much regretted event among his many friends.
 The following is an extract from the Newport News ,(Va.) Press of recent date Of the call from Hampton;
 .The. Rev. William E. Evans. D. D., rector of the Church of the Advent in Birmingham. was last night unanimously called to the rectorship of St. Johns
 Episcopal church by the vestry of the church.
 "Dr. Evans is Virginian by birth. but | he has been the rector of the Church oi the Advent. the wealthiest and largest
 Episcopal congregation in Birmingham | for the past five years. The Birmingham church has 1000 communicants. Dr l Evans also served as rector of the Epis copal church in Columbia. s. C.. ana

Is Gigantic Move

The recent onslaught on the United States Steel corporation would have ere ated wild delirium if it had been made two years ago. While it is the most gi- gantic move of the goverenment ever before undertaken. the people or the trusts do not seem to be greatly alarmed. Perhaps it is because the people and the trust magnates have just had an oppor- unity of witnessing the dissection of one or two other alleged trusts. The method appears painless.
 The New York World says editorially that the results of the dissolution of the oil and tobacco trusts are not percep- tibe to the naked eye. Some men who gre as smart as attorneys for the to- bacco trust declare that the plan of dis, solution offered by the tobacco trust will create more powerful monopoly than all ready exists.
 Nobody knows what has happened to the oil trust. and the common people will never know.

Demands Competition

Referring to the dissolution plan pro- posed by the Tobacco trust, Attorney General Wiekersham said that nothing would satisfy his department short of such dissolution as will insure genuine compet etition. Does anyone really anticipate genuine competition in prices to result from the dissolution of the two great trusts now in progress? Is it anticipated that an oil refining business will spring up from some of the Standards subsidiary companies which will compete with the late trust and force down prices? The idea of the Attorney General seems to be to throw bombs in the air and make a noise and scare business. That Is a dan gerous proceeding
 There is another way, an easier and all together more satisfactory way, of dealing with the Steel trust than throwing bombs at it. Attorney General Wickersham in sists upon genune competition in trade. There is one quick and sure way to get it, but not through the courts.

Richmond.
 Although pr. Evans has never visited Hampton. several members of the vestry of St. Johns heard him preach and con duct services in Richmond last summer.
 "Dr. Evans will today be apprised of the action of the vestry in calling him, and it is believed that he will make known his decision in the near future. It is the hope of the congregation to have the new rector installed by January l in the evennt that pr. Evans accepts the invi- -tation. gs~ ac
 The congregation of old St. Johns Episcopal church will worship tomorrow for the first time in several months in the main auditorium, the extensive re- pairs to the historic place of worship hay ing been completed yesterday. A, beau tiful tiling floor has been placed in the church, and attractive memorial pews have replaced the old wooden seats in the building. In fact. the interior. Of the church now makes old St. Johns one of the handsomest places of worship in Vir- ginia.''

Driven to Action
So there you are.

So there you are.
 There is no question anywhere bat that the present administration was driven to the prosecution of the Steel corporation and perhaps to some of the others. There is well grounded con- tentfon that politics is behind all Of this activity. Some are claiming that the case against the Steel corporation will be adjusted out of court in time to secure the support of the steel and other allied interests for the renomina- tion and election of President Taft. If the suit is continued it will hang fire in the courts and will be with us at least until after two more presidents ,s have been elected.

To Get Rid of Frown sffs and Squint Wrinkles
lFrom AtIousehold Frlendl

Do you know what your frowning habit makes you look like? Observe. the different expressions due to frowns in the faces of other people. The scowl, given by two deep lines be- tween the eyes; the worried look, re- sulting from furrowed forehead; the sly expression,s induced by squintlng and causing tiny lines to radiate from the corner of the eye-all these, ana more are the result of frowns.
 To obliterate frowning wrinkles and all others--use wash lotion mauef by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel This immediately tightens the sKih, affecting even the deepest wrinkles and crows feet. It firms up not only thoa skin, but underlying tissue There's mo better treatment for paunchJ / like checks and neck. Any druggist can supply the ingredients.

Repeal Tariff

That will produce geniune competition. It will give the big steel mills of Ger many and England a chance to compete with the Steel trust, and it will not de- stroy any property nor produce any panic. The steel mills of the Uited States can do business in competition with those of Europe and make money at 1t. The Mary land Steel company sells it's rails in Aus tralia, South America, South Africa and China, in competition with the steel mills of England and Germany, and makes money at it. But the price must be less than the home price
 AS MT. Havemeyer explained years ago, the tariff is the mother of trusts. The United States government goes into a combine with the steel company to keep out competition and build the trust bigger and bigger, and now when the logical re- suit of the governments policy is reached the administration begins throwing bombs.
 "The democracy remedy for the trusts

Birmingham Is Safe

The people of Birmingham and the Bir- mingham district should not lose sight of one fact in the face of threatened disturb ance
 There can be no permanent damage to the iron and steel industries of that dis trict.
 The governments contention that the Steel corporation wanted the Tennessee cumpany because of the fact that it was the corporations strongest competitor is significant. The Tennessee company was a strong competitor for the reason that it has superior natural advantages over all other manufacturing plants of the kind in the country. It had great deposits of all the requisite raw materials and in such proximity that the finished product could be manufactured cheaper than any where else In the country-perhaps in the world

Development to Continue

These conditions still exist and their de- veioptnent along large lines cannot and will not be neglected. It matters not whether the development is done by the porations.
 The question before the courts is sim ply one of legality of method and can have To effect on the legitimate business of th- corporation. If the methods of the corporation are illegal those methods can be reformed without disaster to business. The importance of the Tennessee holdings is a safeguard to the interests of the Birmingham district and the people should suffer no uneasiness.

The Window Garden.

City jewellers who love flowers. but
feel that they have no suitable place to
grow them, or who do not know exactly
how to go about planning for their cul-
tivation, will rejoice in the plan of the
Chicago Women's Outdoor Art League
to help them by distributing outfits at
low cost. A window box and a packet
of seeds, all for the sum of 26 cents, will
place concrete proposition before many
who have but vague ideas about city
gardening.
The love of gardening should be
strong in any city. The general use Of
window boxes will lend a charm to the
most unpretentious street, and even a
single one in a dwelling is attractive.
Though Washington is beauty spot, as
far as parks and flowers are concerned,
nevertheless there are many streets here
which could be made far more attrac-
tive by window gardens The Depart
ment of Agriculture would undoubtedly
cooperate with any movement in this di-
rection.

100000 pounds for the current fiscal
year. In twenty years.imports have risen
from 100000 pounds, an indication of
the importance of its challenge to coffee.
With this increase there has been de-
crease in cost to the consumer, and if it
be true that the control of the coffee
supply is so secure that the present range
of prices is to be maintained, and that
the recently declared restrictions on the
importation of tea shall have the effect
of increasing the price of that COM
modify, cocoa is destined to greater pop
ularity. If we accept as true the as
surance of the scientists that cocoa pos
sesses more nourishment and less of
menace to the human system than coffee
or tea, the coffee monopoly and the in
reference of the pure food bureau with
the tea trade need not be regarded with
alarm.

A New Use for Motion Pictures.

The authorities of New York State
are having made moving picture films
showing life in State homes, farm schools,
reformatories, prisons, and industrial
plants. These films are to be exhibited free
at State fairs The scheme illustrates
the varied ways in which the cinemeto-
graph may be put to use as public
educator. To the great majority of citi-
zens the appearance and management of
State institutions are a sealed book. The
motion picture machine catches details
with unexcelled reality, it tells more in
ten minutes than the pen can describe
in ten columns, and, what is more to
the point, in such way as to catch hold
and retain the interest of the spectator.
The eye is less likely to weary of pic
lures than of words.
Perhaps few years hence the CAM
paign orator will be accompanied by
moving picture machines which will il
lustrate his arguments as he delivers
them by word of mouth, and possibly
with more telling effect.

An editorial in The Washington Her
aid regarding the therapeutic value of
the nistletoe has attracted wide atten-
ton, and more than one reader has con-
tributed interesting data regarding the
Christmas emblem
1t is curious fact that the healing
virtues which are now known to be
actually possessed by mistletoe were
ascribed to the plant by the ancient
Druids. In fact, its remedial powers
were chanted in Gallo and German
antiquity. The mistletoe growing upon
the oak was priced above all
others because in ancient times all
oaks and oak groves were regarded with
holy veneration, being considered the
favorite abodes of the old German
deities. The mistletoe growing on oaks
was therefore venerated by the ancient
Gauls and Germans as the hottest of
heaven-sent gifts to mankind 1t was
applied in all diseases, and without it
no religious services could be conducted.
According to the Germanic mythology I
Druid priest discovered mistletoe grow
ing on an oak, and at once summoned
all the brethren of his order. They
DOTTED the many-colored garments in
daily use and donned flowing white robes
as a sign of humility in the presence of
the divine plant. The highest in rank
approached the tree and was lifted by
his companions until he could reach the
plant. This was then cut with a golden
sickle and prepared and preserved for
sacred and for healing purposes.
There was, of course, much supersti-
ton in the matter. For instance, it was
supposed that mistletoe gathered six days
after the new moon was especially bene-
fetal, and when taken as a decoction
in draught of ox's blood was alleged
to accomplish miraculous cures The
fact remains, however, that out of all
these mythical and nebulous virtues there
has really been evolved genuine value,
and it also indicates that the ancient
Druids were possessed of a rare sense
of knowledge regarding the gifts of
nature.

Of her husbands life. passed in the little
Jersey college town, the Clevelands not

children were reared, but developed an
affection for the university, its traditions
and its aspirations, that nothing could
efface. Mrs. Cleveland, like the former
President, even carried her enthusiasm
for old Nassau to the extent of becoming
an ardent supporter OF its athletic teams.
Seldom was there an important football
or baseball game which did not find her

Urge Reform of Criminal Law.

The national conference on criminal
law and criminology held in Chicago
in June, 1909, adopted resolution pro-
viding for an investigation of the crini-
nal courts of Great Britain. The aim
in view was so to reform our criminal
law and procedure as to expedite trials
and prevent mlsCarriages of justice. A
committee in consequence spent four
months studying the English procedure.
They attended the criminal courts of
London and several large English cities
The report now published makes plain
one point, which is usually overlooked
by the critics of our American system,
namely, that the chief differences lie
mostly in national temperament condi
tons, and circumstances. Another nota-
bic difference is the share which the
trial judge plays in the English trial.
He is an important factor, taking an
active part in the examination and cross
examination of witnesses, and in sum-
ming up to the jury he often goes to
great lengths.
4 large part of the expedition of an
English trial flows from this practice,
and yet such a system would be intoler-
able to American notions of liberty.
While the English system more certainly
inSures the conviction OF those who are
plainly guilty than does ours, and al
though in case of real doubt, the Ameri-
can system more effectively protects the
rights of the defendant, the committee,
nevertheless, urges that the trial judge
should take an active part in the trial.
He should restrict counsel to the asking
of revelant questions, overrule and dis
courage technical objections, and never
permit counsel to intimidate or confuse
4 witness.
These results would be admirable if
they could be obtained Unquestionably,
a number of changes could be made to
accelerate our criminal procedure, and
other changes are possible which could
prevent delay or miscarriage of justice
upon appeal.
Perhaps there is no portion of the re-
port as striking as that relating to the OBJ
tanning of juries. In selecting the jury
in the English courts, the challenge of
juror is almost as rare as the challenge
of a judge in the United States. A
chairman of quarter sessions said that
although he had been on the bench six
years, with $500 indictable offenses tried
in his. court in a year, he remembered
only two or three challenges in his ca
reer, and not one during the last three
years. This is, of course, very different
from the American system. AT the same
time, greatly as our system has promoted
miscarriage of justice, the rigorous Eng
lish practice. lately abolished, has worked
equal error. Doubtless many guilty have
escaped In America as result of tech

. Cocoa VS.. Coffee.

Experts in economics will probably say
that the reduction of 100000 pounds
in the annual importation of coffee is one
of the results of the increased cost of
living, the price of this particular COM
modify being held up by Brazil. Experts
in dietetics, on the other hand, are likely
to claim credit for the campaign of edu-
cation directed against, the hurtful eff
fects of the breakfast cup. Whatever the
cause, it is an interesting fact that, CO.
incident with this decline in the impor-
tation of coffee, there has been a re-
nlarkable increase in the importation of
tea, which jumped in 1910 from a prior
record of less than 100000 pounds to
II5.ooo,ooo.
Of still more interest is the impor-
tation Of cocoa, which is estimated At
