used Doan's Kidney Pills with such
good results that I gave a statement
publicly recommending them. 1 can

EDITORIAL APPETIzERS

Indications are that Champ Clark
can at least point to the free raw wool
stampede as proof that he isn't bossing
his party in the House.
Denver and New York can now
swap talk as easily as neighbors on a
party wire, though it's bit more ex-
pensive. Still, it's sometimes worth
any old price to talk to a man 1900
miles away-when you're mad, and
he's bigger, for instance.
Engineer Underwood ought to be
able to get big price for an article on
''How it feels to he steam-rollsd by
your own machine"
A new field for cabinet makers and
breakers was opened when China sub
stituted constitutional cabinet for it's
grand council. Meanwhile the Jap
Russo combine is preparing to put the
screws on.
Without meaning to knock any
body's boom it may be remarked
that New Jersey stills holds the trust
motherhood record.
At last the Senate team is playing
up to form, as shown by the introduc.
ton of three antitrust measures in a
single day.
This proposition to have the govern
ment regulate the quantity of ice
cream to be sold for dime and a nickel
is a live one in kidland, whatever
stupid grown-ups may think of it.

as long as any other organ

of great service in arresting
the failures that if neglected
may cause deep anxiety and

Evolution of Marriage,

About the fact that polyandry, or
the marriage of one woman to sew
eral men, was once widely estab-
lished usage there is no room for
doubt. Caesar found it in Britain,
and Tacitus is authority for the
statement that it was practiced
among the Germans of the early
times. 1t is impossible to be exact
about the chronological order Of the
various forms Of marriage. In all
probability the primitive state ct
man was one in which marriage did
not exist, except in It's plural charac-
ter, when all the men and women in
the community were regarded as
equally married to one another. Then
probably came polyandry, followed
by polygamy, which was finally re-
placed by the present form-a sys-
tenn which may well be called ere
cent" in comparison with the length
of time that human society has ex-
listed,

the STANDARD OIL DECISION

In handing down the decision dis
solving the Standard Oil Company,
there is no question that the strict let
ter of the law was obeyed and the law
was properly interpreted as it stands,
but the decision by no means shows
that the law is wise or beneficial.
In Sha rswood's edition of Black
stone, vol. l, page "A, law is defined as
ia rule of civil conduct prescribed by
the supreme power in state, COM
manding what is right, and prohibit
ing what is wrong" but this definition
is open to the criticism that under it
no law can be wrong; that whatever it
commands is right and whatever ii
forbids is wrong, and nothing but an
inspired and infallible Iawgiver could
draw up such decree.
In prohibiting any act and in pun
fishing any one for committing any act,
the law should be sure that the forbid
den act is injurious to the general well
fare, for -he greatest good to the great
est number is the only just reason for
law.
This line of reasoning applies with
great force to the Sherman Antitrust
Law under which the recent decision
was rendered. There have been COM
binations that have been Sin restraint
of trade" and have proven injurious,
but on the other hand there have been
corporations whose influence has very
distinctly advanced the civilization of
the world.
The British East India Company and
the Hudson Bay Trading Company
opened southern Asia and Northern
America to Christianity, to trade and
to modern culture as nothing else
would have done. The monopoly en-
joyed by these great companies led
them to develop their resources and
the Dominion of Canada will contrast
avorably with Siberia, and modern
clean and sanitary India presents a

Business Girl is
Often Charming

A DMITTING that the business girl
n Of today is possessed Of charm
peculiarly her own, and that far dill
ferent from the charm Of her great
grandmother, shall we have to admit
also that it is any the less fascinating,
that it is any the less alluring to the
opposite sex, for l suppose that this
is one aim of charm Of any sort?
Frequently we hear comparisons be-
tween the girl of today and the dainty
maiden of the past, with her simple
pleasures and sheltered life, and the
dear old people VINO understood this
latter variety of girl sometimes sigh
and shake their heads mournfuliy over
the evolution brought about in later
years.
To most of them the ''moderI
girl is an unknown quantity, and the}
cannot understand why size should
wish to take a place beside her stall
wart brother in the world of business.
Perhaps it's the natural rush and
hustle and progressiveness CT our OWE
land which has brought about the
change-but this isn't learned dis
cussion On 'the evolution of the mod
ern girl" but only friendly chat
about girls, past and present, and the
charm of both
For, of course, both have theiI
charm. That's feminine quality that
has obtained since Eve used her wiles
On Adam.
Few business girls there are who
do not possess this quality in some
degree, and a great many of them are
delightful with their practical com
mon sense and unconscious air of abb
solute confidence in themselves.
And right here let me say that this
is the keynote to the business girls
charm-her knowledge of herself and
men and the world and her expert
ence with all of these.
But in talking to one of these able
little girls, self-confident, ambitious,
experienced in the world and its ways,
l wonder if some of us do not feel a
vague longing for little bit of the
charm Of the girl Of long ago, with her
| ignorance which was supposed to have
been synonymous with innocence, with
her gentle manner, her appealing
ways and her sweet, soft voice.
Is her voice not just little sharper,
is she not just little less patient I'M
der parental admonition and with all
her excellent qualities is she quite as
Iovable as the winsome maid of her
grandmother's day?
But why not combine the two varie-
ties of charm and in the present day,
even though the practical, self-confi-
| dent girl is universally popular, if she
brings into her life some of the sweet
ness and gentleness which were the
main characteristics of the other
maiden, she will find herself happier
and life more satisfying.

big machines all have their uses and
big corporations are equally useful il

Many charges have been brought
against the Standard Oil Company
and it has furnished much valuable
''copy" to school OF undertaking
writer's and publishers. 1t may be
| we'll to investigate the results that have
followed the organization.
/ Crude petrolums is mixture of
about sixty -four substances, beginning
with the highly volatile rhigoline
group, passing through the bergene,
gasoline, and kersene groups into the
lubricating oils, growing steadily
heavier and thicker until the solid
parafines are reached. Many of these
exist in comparatively small quanti-
tiet and the crude oil must be handled
in vast amounts to make many of tt csc
sub-products profitable to extract.
Kerosene, the principle product used
by the masses of the people, sold at
more than double its present price but
few years since and owing to defec-
tive elimination of the volatile oils,
was extremely dangerous, and lamp
explosions were every day events,
whereas they are well nigh unknown
today.
The automobile industry is absolutely
dependent on gasoline and we're it not
available as low price, the trade in
and use of moter vehicles and vessel
would have to be abandoned.
The Standard Oil Company has not
demanded excessive prices for its
products as study of the prices for the
past 25 years will show a steady dec
line in che costs of the materials it
produces.
Ino Standard vi Company mas leo
the way for the American export
trade. l. has shipped its goods to the
uttermost parts of the earth, and has
made the United States known as a
trading country where no other Ameri
can product had penetrated. BY act
ing as an entering wedge, 1t paved the
way for other American products, and
has thus rendered great service to
American trade.
1t remains to be seen whether law
that has led the Supreme Court to
take the action that it has done, be
wise one and should the course of
events show the law to be erroneous,
let us trust that the wisdom of con-
gress will promptly amend or repeal
it.

Cross Stitch Popular
For EmbrOideri1Q

Girls with many idle minutes dur
ing the day are utilizing their spare
time embroidering marquisette
blouses in cross stitch. This is a
very old form of embroidery, and one
of the easiest.
The material lends itself beautifully
to this work, and various designs may
be developed. Banding is one of the
recent forms it has taken, bands of
cross stitch around the edges of the
short sleeves, at the neck and down
the front being made. When done
in several harmonizing colors the eff
feet is very dainty and girlish.

THE ARCHIE
PISCOPAL SCOOP

burgess 1--WE IL call ulmJ udu "
do something to redeem himself. He
had everything in his favor, but he
wouldn't work. For more than a
week the assignment schedule had
borne the melancholy memorandum
from the Burgess, no day
off for a month" The man at the
desk was vigorously carrying out
the mandate, and in addition doing
all he could to make 1t hard work
for Burgess. The victim had moth
ing to say and he was keeping sober.
It all started WITH jamboree when
the Philadelphia newspaper men in
vited the gang to come over and be
their guests. Two breweries, one
liquor house and several wine agents
gratuitously and graciously con-
tributed the joy. The jaunt was for
one day only, but at least three OF
the gang were four days getting
home. Burgess had been the cut-up
of the festivities, and when the time
was over refused to go home. He
put on evening dress to go to La
dies Press Club reception in honor
of the visitors, and two days later
was found asleep on the beach at
Atlantic City, with children building
sand figures about him. He still
wore evening dress and he couldn't
explain.
When he returned to the Office he
found a harsh reception waiting for
him, and only past services saved a
dismissal. Then came the no-day-
off mandate. He loafed on the day
work and if it was a Police Court
assignment he went to a matinee at
the burlesque house and trusted to
luck and the rest of the gang. Then
he was shifted to emergency" with
a swing from p. m. to 4 a. m. He
was still in bad. Burgess arrived on
time one evening, and known only
to his innermost self, he had resolved
to show them all something. He sat
down at his desk, pulled out a draw
er, Titled his feet on it and gazed va
cantly out of the window. The city
editor broke the reverie.
Say, Burgess!" he yelled; do
you still ride that wheel?"
YES" said the reporter; 1--WE
got it with me now"
'Fine!" replied the city editor.
Jump uptown and get me picture
of this girl who eloped with her
fathers clerk. You'll have no trou-
BILE; her family likes notoriety. Only
be quick; 1 want to make a good,
big cut for tomorrow"
burgess went downstairs, jumped
on his wheel and started for the pic
ture. On his return trip he was COM
ing along at lively rate when a
darkly clad man suddenly stepped
from the curb and right IN front of
the wheel. In a flash he was on him
and wheel, rider and man rolled into
the street. Burgess helped the man
to his feet and, recognizing him, felt
a cold chill run up and down his
back. He apologized and the rum
down man accepted it and disap-
peared in a great mansion at the
corner. AS he walked away Burgess
noticed that he limped and had a
few scratches across his check.
Lucky for me-" said Burgess to
himself as he rode along. that he
didn't have me arrested. They'd
never believe that at the Office.
Burgess turned the picture in and
received some more work. At near
ly midnight he turned a bunch OF
copy into the city editor, remarking:
We've got that alone"
The city editor read Burgess own
headlines on the story:
