How wonderful is Death I

On the morning of Sept. % the Angel

the husband and father.
George was, the second SON Of r. W.

family ofnine, FIVE girls and four boys.
Born August 20, 1852 died September
%, 1912; aged 6o-years and month.
He leaves wife, two girls, three boys,
two brothers and three sisters with a
host of friends to mourn his-loss. His
mother preceded him to our future.

He was united in marriage. April 49,.

four years of domestic happiness en-
sued during which he saw his sons and
daughters grow to man and woman
hood. He lived all his life at the old
home near Buford, Ohio, until In 1910
when he removed with his wife and
two daughters to Cincinnati where he
made many friends.
How long we live, not years but actions tell,
That man lives twice, who lives the fast life
well.
These words are exemplified In the
course of his life. The stranger knew
him at once for friend. His neigh

man. The child found him willing
playmate. The aged a repsrent and
sympathetic listener.
His children knew him as loving,
generous father. His wife as hus-

and considerate of the feelings OF
others, he was rather more content to
be in the background. himself than
risk confiiction of his opinion with
that of others, always the same under
all provocations, loved and respected
by all who knew hin, the praise tc
which his clean life is entitled should
not remain ungiyen.
The nation has indeed lost a valua.
BILE citizen and Heaven gained al
angel.
There is no death the stars go down,
To shine upon some fAirer shore
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loveo things away
And then we call them dead.

The Trust Problem.

There is probably no plank in the
platform of the Progressive Party that
has been more severely criticized than
the one Quilting the policy of the party
in regard to the big corporations.
And to our mind it is the solution of
the trust problem. Concisely the plan
is to have commission that will have
similar powers In regard to Industrial
corporations doing an interstate
business that the Interstate Com
merce Commission now exercises in
regard to the railroads.
The policy followed by the Taft ad-
ministration has been proved inetfi-
cient and not practical by the results
of the suits against the Tobacco Trust
and the Standard Oil Company. Both
of these trusts were dissolved by the
courts. But they were dissolved only
in name. The Standard Oil Company
instead of being one company is now
twenty seven companies, the twenty
seven companies being owned and
controlled by the same people, who
W ned and controlled the one COM
pany. There is no more competition
in the oil business than before the
order of dissolution.
Almost everyone now admits that
large combinations Of capital are
necessary in order to carry on the ousi-
ness OF this country as 1T should be-
The question is, How will large cor
perations be conducted so as to insure
security for the investor, fair treat
ment of the consumer and reasonable
wages for the laboring man?
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has proved that the plan there
used is practical for railroads. Ever
those who most strongly opposed the
the interstate commerce law now ad
NIT that it is good and would not &c
back to the old order.
We can not understand why If it IL
practical for the government to have
commission to supervise, watch owe
and see to it that the railroads arr
conducted on basis that is fair botl
to the railroads, their employees ant
the public, it is not also practical Il
do the same thing with large indus
trial corporations doing an interstate
business.
Shall large corporations bedestroye'
and all business conducted by smal
concerns? This is the policy of tn
Democratic party
Shall large corporations be allowe
to continue proving on the people b
stock watering, unfair treatment Q
employees selling their products a
enormous profits, false capitalization
special privilege and unfair compet
tion only being slightly annoyed b
suits? This is the policy of the RI
publican party.
Or shall the large corporations b
controlled by the government and ir
vestor, employee and consumer a
be treated fairly9 This is the polio
of the Progressive Party.
Which policy do you prefer W
think the last is the best.
