New York, June Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on "-Tne
Standard Oil Decision-And After" in
the Outlook, 1t says in part:
The decision of the supreme court
in the Standard Oil case has, of course.
brought out many proposals for alter
ing or amending the antitrust law.
There are two classes of men whose
respective attitudes in reference to
this law are in theory Numerically
opposed. and in results almost identi-
cally the same; those men who wish
no interference whatever by the gov
ernment with any combinations or cor
borations; and those men who, under
the plea of being against all combina-
tions and big corporations, propose ab-
solutely to prohibit their existence.
I'm theory these two set of men
are Numerically opposed. In practice
the activities of the second class who
wish totally to prohibit all corpora
tions, can result only in practically
fulfilling the wish of the first class by
leaving the present situation funda-
mentally unchanged.
Actual experience with the anti
trust law extending over many years
has shown that it does not and can
not by any possibility be made to do
what the extreme antagonists of cor
porations desire or assert that they de-
sire. As construed by the supreme
court, the antitrust law accomplishes
certain amount of good, and it has
been a good thing to obtain the de
cisica that has been obtained against
the Standard Oil Company.

HILL TO QUIT BERLIN POST
Ambassador to Germany Tenders
Resignation and It Is Accepted
by Taft.

Washington.-One of the greatest
surprises of recent years in official
circles here was caused by the an
nouncement that David Jayne Hill of
Rochester, N. Y, has resigned his
place as ambassador of the United
States to Germany.
The resignation was accepted
promptly BY President Taft, but in
the formal letters given out there is
no intimation of the reasons for Mr..
Hills withdrawal. The cause is a
mystery.
In his letter accepting the resigna-
tion the president thanks Mr.. Hill
for his services at Berlin and says he
Is glad to know that he will remain
there until July l, when the resigna-
ton goes into effect.
Unconfirmed reports Of friction be-
tween Mr.. Hill and the state depart
ment were in circulation.

Passes Non.PartIsan sII.

While "wets" were putting It over on
"drys" the backbone OF the senate
deadlock appears TO have been broken.
This hope is expressed officially by
Lieut.. Gov. Nichols in a formal state
ment. The passage of the Green bill,
providing for nonpartisan nomination
and election of delegates to the con-
stitutional convention, marked the
turning point. It was also the vehicle
by which "wets' accomplished their
purpose. Both sides on the liquor
question agreed to an amendment by
a separate submission of the subject.
The amendment was offered by Sena-
tor Green, a "dry." The pledge re-
lates only to the question Of licensing
the liquor traffic. AS passed by the
senate, the Green bill provides that
candidates are to be nominated by pc
tition only and that the election is
to be on a separate non-partisan bal.
lot. The statutory restriction that
delegates may not hold any other pub
lie office was also repealed by an
amendment offered by Stockwell. The
Green amendment provides that the
candidates may or may not sign a
statement to the effect that he will

of intoxicating liquor be licensed? Or

Lanqdon Has New Tax Scheme.

Mr.. Langdon is candidate in the
trouble starter sweepstakes. He has
new tax scheme, guaranteed to start
more neighborhood quarrels than any
thing ever invented. The public treas
ury. would be winner in each row.
The Republican floor leader would
give publicity to all personal property
assessments. He would stop publish
ing the detailed list Of tax rates, which
nobody reads, and use that money to
print pamphlets, showing the itemized
personal property return of every res
ident in each taxing district. Copies
would be mailed to each taxpayer
When Mrs. Sam Jones had been boast
ing to her famous neighbor, Mrs. Har
Tis Brown, about their new $500 piano

piano valued for tax purposes at $40
Possibilities are limitless. The public
ity feature was tried in Ohio on the

argues that 1t would help to tell each

erty his neighbor was making. The

Contribution Measure.

Washington.-By practically
unanimous vote the house passed the
anti-elections campaign contributions
bill and then swung Immediately into
consideration Of the Canadian reci-
procity bill.
Democratic leaders have plunged
now into their tariff revision work
and there is to be no let-up until the
legislative program has been carried
through the house. Consideration of
the reciprocity bill will be continued
until vote has been taken on its
final passage by the house. Chairman

not attempt to restrict consideration
or limit debate and that ample time
would be given all members desiring
to discuss the terms of the reciprocal
arrangement

Following close on the passage by
the house last week of the Donson
bill, the new state building code,
backed by the Ohio State Fire Proven
ton association, the previous enact
ment of the law to give the state fire
marshal power to condemn and cause
the razing Of dilapidated buildings,
constituting a fire menace, and the
introduction in the legislature OF
various bills to strengthen the safety
laws and so minimize the fire hazard
in the state, the association last week
took a step which makes Ohio a pio-
neer in a new line of reducing fire
dangers, when it sent to the Akron
chief of the fire department 1000
copies of an inspection form to be
used by his men in reporting on con-
ditions found in buildings in that city.
The Akron chief has been cooper
ating heartily with the association
and its various committees, and this.
and the further fact that Akron has
had large number of costly fires in
the last year or two, influenced the
selection of Akron for the try-out Of
the new system. The result of the
trial will be awaited with great inter,
est by those in the fire prevention
movement. AS rapidly as possible
other Ohio cities will be supplied, un
til there is none with a fire depart
ment worthy the name in which the
system is not in operation.

SILL IN HIS POSSESSION
Remarkable Coincidence In Sum Of
Money That Rastus Had In
His Pocket.

Rastus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-hve
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up a strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was &C
quilted.
Counsel and client met q few min
utes later outside the court room.
Nov, Rastus,' said Clearem,
you know the court allows the
counsel very little for defending this
kind of case. l worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled to
much more pay than I'm getting for
my valuable services, and you should
dig up a good-Slzed fee. Have you got
any money!"

New Oregon Plan Bill.

Another Oregon plan bill has made
its debut In the legislature. In the
senate it was presented by Reynolds,
ia the house by F'riebolin. Both are
from Cleveland, where the bill orig,
mated With the Cuyahoga County
board OF elections. 1t provides for
election of delegates to national con-
ventions by party primary and for
nomination Of presidential electors by
party primary.
Petitions Of candidates must have
signatures Of 2 per cent of the party
vote, measured by the last guberna.
torial election. In times past the con.
g-essional district delegates were
chosen by the congressional conven-
tions and the four delegates-at-large
by state conventions. AS there are
to be no moro congressional conven-
tions to nominate candidates for con
gress, conventions especially to nomi
nate delegates would have to be held
at scme trouble and expense. The bill
would bridge over deficiency in the
laws.

STORMS TOLL GROWS
MORE THAN SCORE KNOWN DEAD
IN SOUTHWEST.
Hundreds Of Buildings Are Wrecked
by Tornadoes In Kansas, Okla
hena, Arkansas and Missouri.

st. Louis.-The most destructive
storm here since the great cyclone
of May 81. 1896, struck the city
with terrific force causing three
deaths and many thousands dollars
of damage. A heavy downpour Of rain
was accompanied by a terrific wind,
hail. lightning and thunder.
The dead include a driver Of a team
of mules, who, with his mules, was
electrocuted by running into a live
wire; woman who succumbed to
fright, and another woman who was
killed In a runaway. The horse she
was driving took fright during the
storm.
Houses were blown down in the out
skirts of the city, and in the northern
district an eight-story elevator, con-
tanning 100000 bushels of wheat, val
ued at $750,0O0, was blown into the
Mississippi river.
The storm came as thousands we're
on their way home from down town.
AS windows in the street cars were
broken, the excitement approximated
panic.
Four negroes are known to be dead
number injured, one seriously, and
three missing, following a tornado
which wrecked the town of Wales
Mines, Mo, forty miles southwest OF
here.
Kansas City, Mo.-Although the
weather is fair throughout the
tornado-swept districts of Kansas
Oklahoma, western Missouri and north
ern Arkansas, the major portion of the
telephone and telegraph " res are still
down and only meager reports of the
death and destruction wrought by the
storm Wednesday are obtainable.
1t now appears that at least nine
teen persons were killed. The list Of
injured will number more than one
| hundred.
The monetary loss in Kansas alone
Is estimated to be in excess of $500,
900. 1t is thought the damage In othel
sections visited by the storm will
bring the total to more than $1,00O,0O0
Hundreds of houses, barns and othel
buildings were destroyed.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases Of the skin and
scalp which torture and dishgure man
kind, three-fourths are ecZematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance OF its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, Is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint.
ment. For more than generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli.
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief Of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
