Red Vacancy

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-Presi-
dent Taft today announced through
Secretary Hilles that the post of am
basasdor to Great Britain, made va
cant by the death of Whitelaw Reid
will not be filled by him.
This announcement was made af-
ter a conference between the presi-
dent and Secretary Knox.
The president believes that import
ant diplomatic questions involving
Great Britain and the United States
can be handled successfully in Wash
ington by MIR. Knox and the British
ambassador. He understands that
President-elect Wilson already is con-
sidering a man for the London post
and he does not wish to appoint some
one who can serve only a few months.
The post at London will be vacant
until March, and it will be the first
time in many years. that the United
States has been without an ambassa-
dor in London.

HARD COAL CASE IS
LOST BY The U. S.
Court HOLDS Combination not
Restraint of Trade

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16-The
government today lost its fight before
the Supreme court of the United
States to have the anthracite coal
carrying railroads and their Affiliate
ed coal companies declared to be in
a general combination in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law.
1t won a victory by getting the
court to strike down the IS per cent.
contracts whereby the railroad coal
companies" buy the output Of indie
pendent" mines. Justice Lurton, in
announcing the opinion that these
contracts were plainly in violation of
law, the court also said that the
railroads had violated the law by at
tempting to shut off the anthracite
region, a competitive road through
their control of the Temple Iron Com
pany.
AS to minor combinations of rail
roads and coal companies charged to
be violating the law, the court dis
missed the action without prejudice to
future suits, because it held it not fair
to require those groups to make
defense in an action primarily against
general combination.
Justices Day, Hughes and Pitney
took no part in the decision. There
were no dissenting opinion Attor
ney General Wickersham declared
that the annullment of the 65 per
cent contracts was a very important
victory and that it opened the way
for possible competition in the coal
trade

MRS. McCILL

Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.

Jonesboro, Ark.-"I suffered a COM
plete break down in health, some time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. 81 was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle of Cardui. 1t
did me so much good, was surprised,
and took some more.
Before l took Cardui, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes would
cry for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think it is the greatest medicine on
earth"
In the past fifty years, thousands Of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill.
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
Cardui is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try it.

The age when we boosted of hold
ing our own opinions is past. Today.
if we possess any view at ALL it is not
usual to express them. This is a
polite, a non-controversial age, one in
which one fears to confess to strong
feelings. To hold ones own opinion
is to risk being called opinionated, and
the world today would avoid that at
all costs. Our conversation has de-
generated INTO a state of non-cominit-
tai phraseology, and a superficial
amiability is the right note to strike.
Amiab1e we must be, the world des
mands it; argument is the worst of
form. There was time when two sub
iects only-politics and religion-were
held taboo; today all subjects that
may lead to dissension are to be ay old

The parish tea was over, and the
curate stood up to say few words to
the recipients before they dispersed.
He spoke in eloquent terms of the i'm.

then went on to say, In apparently
touching tones:
why, even as I stand before you

A few days later the reverend gen.

half-a-dozen new shirts, accompanied
by card bearing the name of one of
