TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS.

The inability of mere court decision to cope with great pre- datOry wealth Was never more clearly shown than in the Amcri- can supreme courts decision to dissolve the Standard Oil com pany into it's original component parts. What is generally known as the Standard Oil Company is really holding company, the div idend earning companies number 3l in all, being combined under that name, and stretching across the United States from Maine to California.
 The courts decision to dissolve the holding company was intend ed as a blow at Standard Oil. It was thought that the Standard Oil had too much power; it practical ly dictated the oil prices of Amer ica. With the 3l companies un- der different management this would not happen. This was the courts idea.
 When the courts decision was announced Standard Oil sold for S675 a share. A panic occurred and the shares fell to a shade be- low Si00. But inc panic was thing of day. X few months later. when inc reorganization was still under way, Standard Oil was quoted al about 5000 a share. This, according to American financial writers. was directly the cause of the courts decision. The six or seven old men who manage the Standard Oil made some two hundred millions of dollars as result of this court decision which was intended to crush them.
 When the Standard Oil-which everyone knew by name-was dis solved, what happened? A man who had one share of Standard Oil was given prOportionately his share of each of the 3i oil com panics, which the term Standard Oil represented. The man with one share received certificate telling him that now Inc owned 283, ,083,000 of, say. the Maine Oil company, whose market value was 25 cents. And so on. in inc Oth- or B instances he was given fractional share in somc company of which hc knew nothing. for some absurd amount. Instead of having one share of stock, he had 3i fragments, which together rep rcTentcd what he had before. only scattered across te continent, and in three dozen pieces.
 Small investors in 0 panic threw their fragments of shares on the market. Rockefeller and his as- sociate spicked these up at far Tess than their real value. And. not 10 20 into details. the result was as stated above-that Rocke- feller and his associates gained two hundred millions as the re- suit of an adverse court decision which the small investors lost most of that amount.
 When an adverse decision against an American multi-mil- lionaire's company gives that man and his associates n bonus of a Couple of hundred million-Alas- ka's output for almost couple of years--one hesitates even to imagine what favorable court decision would mean Co one of these great companies.

INCREASE IN SUICIDES.

The current issue of the Jour nal of the American Medical As sociation directs attention to tho alarming increase of suicides in this country. It is shown that our suicide rate is now above i6 ill 100000 of population and last year there were some i5,00O sui cides in the United States. In our cities during the last 20 years the suicide rate has risen from some what more than t2 in 100000 pop ulation to more than 20 in iOO,- 900.
 Another interesting fact in con- ncction with the statistics on the subject is that the larger cities of Inc country, those above 25O. .OOO in population. used lO hold the uncnviablc distinction of a much higher suicide raIr than the smaller cit iirS. but in 70 cities un- It, the quarter of million mark ihc suicide rate was last wear equal to or above that of the 2i IdIScI CllNS.
 While physicians and alienists may ponder this problem and is- sue learned dissertations upon it, the fact remains that the ques- tion of "tO be or not 10 be" is one for individual solution. The times may be out of joint, but each in dividual must decide for himself whether he is born to set them right or to accept conditions as he finds them and make the best of them. The mOdest-salaried en- ploye who has an Administer taste and rag-carpet income cannot be reached by schools, education or expert medical advice unless he has the inherent power to lift himself; to take care of himself first and then throw his surplus weight and energy to movements looking for the betierment of con ditions generally. This is no age for weddings. No man has right to claim that the world owes him a living, however strong may be his claim that the world owes him chance to make a living. He cannot insist hat he is his broth CTS keeper until he has dcmon- .sLrated his ability to keep him. Sclf and have a surplus energy to be devoted to the keeping of his brother. This sounds selfish, perhaps, but it is human nature. It Is contest for the survival "f. the ftteSt. OF, and we like it. better. the survival of the fightcst. The churches, the public schools and the individuals may do much in impressing upon the early youth the correct ideals of life, ideals that will not be swept away by the glitter and glare of modern social and business conditions when the young man or young woman shall become dependent upon his or her own efforts for a Livelihood and standing in snri- ely. Though removed from inc r"SfraintS of earlier church and nome environments, the influence of both should be made SO last ing that temptation can be cas- fly discerned and overcome.
 The real test and the real rem cdy, however, rests with the indi- vidual and the changing of condi- lions that will make every human being joyous in the very joy of living and immune to the appeal of the weddings who delude themselves with the thought that they can find quiet and peace through the use of the bare bod kin. -;S
