TIE MAINE Ar REST.

After fourteen years the battle
ship Maine has been taken from
the mud of Havana harbor, be-
decked with flowers and, with all
honors, sunk to its final rest be-
meath 5000 feet of blue sea. In the
meantime the bodies of the brave
seamen who went to death as the
ship sunk under the cruel blow
from the hidden mine, are being
taken to Washington to be buried.
Thus is closed the chapter in his
tory that put an end to Spanish
reign in Cuba-one of the most
bloody and cruel in the history of
the world. The cost was great, but
most people will grant that it was
worth the price.

You may recall that the Standard
Oil Trust was dissolved into thirty
four constituent companies last
summer by order of the Supreme
court. 1t was a frightful blow to
monopoly.
Just how frightful a blow is indi-
Gated by the fact that the stocks Of
the constituent companies are now
worth about 200 million dollars
more than the value Of the STAN
dard Oil capitalization before the
dissolution Of the trust.
The dissolution seems to be re-
garded much more seriously BY
President Taft aud Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham than II is By the
men who own the trust stocks. A
few Of the more timid ones sold out.
but most of them held on.

FUEL AND MANS INGENUITY.

That great strike of English coal
miners that has paralyzed great in
dustries, the prospect of similar
strike in the United tSates, with
the often-made estimates of the ex-
haustion in the near future OF the
coal supply of the world. causes
many to wonder what is coming.
1t is estimated. too. that ten or
CARNATIONS control half the avail
able water power in this country.
Under such circumstances it is
but natural that many thoughtful
persons, those who would look a
little beyond their own day and
generation, should wonder what the
world and its people really face in
the problem of obtaining heat and
light and power.
This makes interesting the state
ment of an eminent scientist that
he believes it possible that one day
all the worlds work will be done By
the Sahara desert, where the sun
blazes every day Of the year. He
asserts that this desert can be turn

Rice From Arkansas,

Economically speaking, the south
is extending north. Sugar produce
ton is still confined to the territory
below the thirty-second parallel,
but the frontier of the cotton belt
has been pushed north many miles
in the last quarter of century, and
now Arkansas is attracting atten-
ton as a rice-growing district.
st. Louis, through the Traffic
Bureau of the Business Mems
League, takes notice of this new
development, and Commissioner
Coyle is negotiating for rate
which will send the material for
rice pudding, rice powder and cole
bile rice" to market via st. Louis
and trunk line railroads instead of
by way of New Orleans and coast
wise shipping. Cleaning mills in st.
Louis are a necessary part of the
plan now maturing.
Arkansas is a state Of possibili-
ties. 1t has the water power of
New England, the fruit lands of
Michigan, the forests of Louisiana
and the river plains of Egypt. st.
Louis, closer than New Orleans, in
better climate and far excelling
the Crescent City as a market and
manufacturing center, should see to
it that the full stream of Arkansas
productions is directed this way

Taft and Public Service.

Suppose you were in an import
ant position in the government SER
vice. Suppose certain powerful
special interests wanted to put
something over for their own bene-
flt--a land or timber grab, for in
stance. Suppose it wege in your
power to block their game, or to
shut your eyes and let them plum
der. Wouldn't you be tempted to
reason in this way:
"Glavis tried to prevent the Nor
gan-Guggcnheim syndicate from
getting the Alaskan coal lands. He
put up his evidence to President
Taft and was fired and disgraced
for his pains.
"Pinchot came to his rescue
against the Alaskan spoilers-a
man who had put the American
people infinitely in his debt by his
courageous fight for conservation.
President Taft summarily dismiss
ed him.
wiley, the man whose honesty
and energy had aroused public
sentiment against the food and
drug cheaters, a national character,
got the hounds on his trail, and
they pulled him down with Presi-
dent Taft looking on.
What show would a humble Of
flce-holder such as | have against
these powerful interests, when
they have such influence with
President Taft that public servants
far better known than I are ousted
through their antagonism?
Can you imagine a more effective
way OF demoralizing the public SER
vice than by proving by example
that any man who stands against
the interests is slated for dis
charge?
In plain English, Wiley was fore
ed out of the government service
at the behest of the food adulterat-
ors. For years the makers of these
fraudulent foods have been trying
to get" the head of the bureau OF
chemistry. At last they have gol
him.
And President Taft gave his con-
sent.
