Have you been hit with HARD.

that the crops in this community were
nearly up to the usual average and
prices of products correspondlngly

Are you sure that your income has
been insufficient to provide you and
your family with a decent living, and
not that you have lived beyond your
income? In your expenditures did

you always provided for necessities
before expanding for Injuries? Have
you speculated by making investments
on the strength of uncertain expecta-

TIL RESULT SHOWN.

The outcome Of the fight for the
control over the Waters Pierce COM
pany is one result Of the Standard Oil
Of the old combination on an inde-
pendent basis. That company is now
fully free from Standard control. and
so illustrates the effect OF the decree.
We confess to sharing in some de.
gree the discomfort Of many with that
aspect Of the decree that permitted
a group of the former magnates to
hold by their stock ownership Of the
theoretically segregated fragments a
joint control of all. 1t seemed to US
that the principles of the decree might
have been given a swifter n tarter
effect. But We see from this example
undergoes actual disintegration. 1t
was not from mere fancy that the
Standard chose to try the various
forms of uniting under trusts and
holding companies until the courts
drove them from that refuge.
1t is not reasonable to expect that
tine system Of concentration into mo.
nopolies permitted by public stupor to
grow for forty years can be undone in
a year or two. Great progress was
made when the supreme court clearly
declared the broad-reaching meaning
md effectiveness of the Sherman art.
Firther progress is made when the
Standard crown is forced to agree to
the complete separation of one Of its
great sections. Further progress Is

fact that there are still emphatic
remedies rs yet untried within the
hands of the law.
Those who say that the Sherman
act is ineffective are either the VIC
Tins of ignorance or perverted by
their prejudices. All that act needs
is persistent and determined enforce
ment.

THE POLICY OF THE BALKANS.

The hands-off policy of the state
department as regards the war in the
Balkans. on the ground that the Uni
tied States has no interests that would
be affected by the upheaval Of con-
ditions in Turkey. is CHALLENGED in
missionary quarters. The voice Of
dissent is heard also among our mer-
chants and manufacturers who have
business interests in the disturbed re-
gion. The missionary element ex-
presses lively fears Of serious inter.
ference with American missionary ac-
tivities in Turkey should a Slay re.
gime be established there, while the
export trade apprehends that the
hampering would be extended over
the conquered country.
The missionary mind is especially
exercised over the announcement OF
absolute neutrality on our part. It is
commended that this government, by
precedent and custom. is definitely
committed to the policy Of protecting
American missionaries In the pursuit
of their legitimate activities abroad,
1t might be argued also that there is
no want Of precedents in corrobora-
ton of what our missionary authori.
ties allege. Further. is not the new
diplomacy o firmly committed
than the old to the desirabiuty OF
safeguarding American business in
terests In foreign lands? Do We look
with complacency upon the damage
and injury resulting to Americana
from the state Of war in Mexico, Mic.
aragua. or Santo Domingo?
Prot. w. N. sloane. professor OF
history at Columbia university. who
is very familiar with conditions In
the near east. holds that our inter.
ests there are very real. and he fore.
sees certain complications. in case OF
Balkanic domination over Turkey
wherein the United States will have
to take a hand. We put in an oar a,

WHERE THE WOMEN WON.

Equal suffrage made a giant stride
last Tuesday when it gained four more
states and went as far east as Michi-
gan. This gives nj the ballot in
ten OF the forty-eight states. Three
Of the recruits adjoin the old suffrage
belt-Oregon, Arizona and Konsas-
doubtless Influenced by the result OF
granting the ballot to ome in the
neighboring states. Wisconsin reject
ed the proposal which would be the
more remarkable in a state SO radical
ON other matters were it not for the
explanation that the socialists having
made an issue of it the adverse vote
was probably largely due to partisan
feeling rather than an actual refiec-
tion of the views of Wisconsin on that
issue on its merits. Michigan's adj
herence more than offsets this reverse,
because il marks the first successful
invasion of the more conservative
states.
The vote in California throws light
on many questions thai have confused
the public minG on this matter. 1t is
very evident that the newly enfran-
chised women voters of California di.
vided very Dluch as the men did on
the presidential contest. This may
give SOME color to the theory that
nos women would vote as their hus-
bands did. but it is more reasonable
tn suppose that the same arguments
that affected the male voters appealed
with just the same force to the WON.
en-. One notable feature in favor Of
the women was the proof that their
v~-es were cast largely against objec.
tionable state issues. thus confirming
the assertion Of the suffrage advocates
that women's Participation would be
elevating. 1t mus, at least be con-
ceded that if their admission to the
suffrage a not produced the millen-
MUM claimed by its extreme advo-
Gates neither has it caused the demor-
alization predicted SO freely by its
opponents.

BUFFALO ROBES SCARCE.
washington Post

washington P0St.)
Out in western Kansas one still fire..
quentiy sees al old plainsman drive
into town covered with a buffalo over
coat or a buffalo laprobe in the win
ter time. However. buffalo relics are
becoming very scarce. and in a few
years they will entirely disappear.
There was a time when Kansas fur
nished buffalo robes for the world. No
we'll regulated family ON an eastern
farm was without ne. They were not
only very warm, but reasonable in
price.
It was the Kaw Indians who FIRST
marketed buffalo robes. Later. manu-
them. made them by the thousands
and supplied the world. But the manu-
featured or patent tanned robes did
not last as Ions as the robes tanned by
the Indians. In fact. 1t Is said that
the robes now In service were those
tanned by these Indians many years
before the white man began TO tan
them.
The Indian women did the tanning.
They fastened the green hides to a set
| Of frames Just like grandmother used
to fasten her quilts to. when she made
them. The squaws would then take a
blunt instrument. resembling a hoe.
and work OIL all the flesh and men,
branes from the hide.
They called it "n%eshing." Then they
would rub the skin for several days
with a heavy. smooth surfaced club
until all the grease had been driven
out Of the hide. They used no chem
icals at all In tanning. Only hides
from buffaloes killed late in the win.
ter were used In making robes. as the
fur was then heaviest.

on the market they used them in maxi
ing moccasins and winter clothing, al
SO for covering for their tepees. But
when a market was established for
them. buffalo tepees soon disappear
ed from the reservation.

Sparrow Causes Death.

An English sparrow Tapping its
wings on his face caused the death Of
Sam Parks of New York, a steeple-
Jack, at Detroit. Park was painting a
sign three stories In the air and want
ed to get to the roof for a brush. He
climbed from the staging on which he
was working to the roof Of another
building. and from there started to
o to he higher roof by going hand
over hand along a wire. He was
about half way between the two build
tngs when a sparrow few in his face.
The bird. apparently b%ewildered, sank
its claws into Parks face in an at.
tempt to poise q moment before re-.
Stunning its flight. Park tried with one
hand to brush the bird away and his
other hand slipped. He fell to the
ground. breaking his neck and dying
instantly.

Berlin police authorities have issued
from the streets Of the city. The

The habit of using milk has greatly
increased among the Japanese in re-
cent years. yet the average amount OF
milk consumed by each Japanese is
still far below that of the European
or American. The total amount Of
milk produced in Toxic prefecture
during the year 1911 vas 46.s86 koku
and the total amount Of daily con.
means that each person consumed on
an average only Oh go a day. which
will hardly bear comparison with the
four or five go of the average daily
consumption of a person in Europe or
America.
The position Of the port Of
Southampton is that Of England's pre-
mier passenger port. and NJ further
evidence Of this is needed than the
fact that 304,045 passengers and A.
96s troops. giving a total Of 352.o13
persons. arrived in the port aud de.
parted from the docks in 1910. The
geographical position Of the port is not
only unique. in that 1t is situated al
most midway or the coast line Of the
English channel and within easy ac-
cess by rail Of the metropolis, but. says
Casters magazine. 1t is blessed with
the unusual natural advantage Of dou-
BILE tides. which give 1t virtually four
hours of high water twice q day-an
the world. The harbor itself is land
locked but for the east and west en-
frances. and the very moderate tidal
range. with a slow floodtide. is a boon
that cannot be too highly valued. for
1t not only makes the port very &C
ceptable. but mintmizes the cost Of
dredging. .
