In the real prosecution of the trusts

Big combinations have been brought to
the bar of federal justice. their pro-
moters have been fined for disobeying
the Sherman antitrust law. and the
controlling corporations have been dis
integrated. The record of the Taft ad-

FLAG ETIQUETTE.

Displaying the National Ensign at Halt
Mast.
There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette of the flag
When President William Mckinley
was assassinated thousands of loyal
Americans raised Gags at half mast
over their places Of business and let
them fly by night and by day until
they wore out. They undoubtedly
thought they were showing respect to
McKinley's memory. But they were
not showing proper respect to the flag.
The United States government display
ed at that time its flags at half mast
from sunrise to sunset from the presi-
dents death until his burial. The gov
eminent regulations provide that on
the death of a president In office its
flag shall be displayed at half mast
only one day.
In memory of the $4,000 Union sol
diers who lost their lives during the
civil war May 30. Memorial day, each

sion Of this memorial tribute at noon

But even if the police are corrupt
and all this is true, there is an old
adage which advises those who live in
glass houses not to throw stones, and
the attention of one or two of our
red hot reformers is called to this.
It is not denied that there is chance

his lead in a reform movement.
Speaking of fines, and shortages, it
might be suggested that this same
reformer who found the shortage OF
$50 in the fine, money turned over to
the city, were as handy with his own
books and accounts as he is with the
city's money matters, he probably
would not have so many checks lying

would not have been locked in the

and, when he sobered up, have gone
out the rear door and left it open.
Perhaps, also, he might never have
fallen from horse on a return trip

OFF RAILS, Then ON.
Engine Of Wisconsin Train on North
Western Does "Stunt" With
Brave Men in Cab,

APPLETON, Wis, May 1O.-The
north bound passenger train on the
Wisconsin division of the Chicago &
Northwestern, due in Appleton about
midnight, had a narrow escape from
bad wreck when two of the drive
wheels of the locomotive left the
track two miles this side of Little
Chute.
The engineer of the train, realizing
that the locality was a dangerous one,
continued under reduced speed with
the two drive wheels pounding along
on the ties for a distance of three
miles, when in some unaccountable
manner the wheels jumped back onto
the track.
Great credit is given the engineer
for his presence Of mind in not at
tempting to stop the train. Had he
done so, bad wreck would have re-
suited.
The accident was one of the most
peculiar ever experienced and is said
to have been due to the soft condition
of the roadbed from the recent heavy
rains.
