SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

One evening several years ago, in
gold mining camp in the Transvaal
man, partially intoxicated and sup
posed to be actuated by jealousy. at
tempted suicide. He first took NOR
phia, but this not proving strong
enough. he tried to hank himself, but
was prevented and handed over to
the sheriff to be kept in safe custody
for the night and to be tried before
the acting gold commissioner. a
screwd and solemn Scot, the next
morning.
There being no law to prevent him
from committing suicide If he
thought fit, but It being considered
desirable to punish him in some way
it was decided to bring a charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
against him. To this the prisoner
pleaded guilty, whereupon the acting
gold commissioner, without the ghost
of a SMILE delivered the following ex-
traordinary Judgment
IT shall fine ye twa pounds for
your drunkenness, but I'll give ye to
understand that l ken vera weel what
ye attempted to dae, and. had ye
succeeded in your attempt, your pun
ishment would have bin vera much

MELLEN,s INDICTMENT.

The indictment returned by feder-
al grand jury against President Mel
len of the New Haven, President
Chamberlin of the Grand Trunk and
Chairman Smithers of the Grand
Trunks board of directors will show
whether the criminal clause of the
Sherman antitrust law can be en-
forced.
The offense for which Mr. Mellen
and Mr.. Chamberlin are indicted is
recent. The statute of limitations has
not interventd, as in Sugar Trust cas-
es. The acts complained of did not
begin at a time when the government
was making no sincere attempt to en-
force the law, as in the Beef Trust
cases. presidential license was is
sued as in the Steel Trust case. No
claim of immunity can be set up be-
cause of anything done by the bureau
or corporations or the insterstate COM
merce commission.
Here is a plain case of conspiracy
under the sherman law. 1t took place
at time when the Taft administra-
tion was earnestly trying to enforce
both the civil and criminal clauses of
the antitrust act. 1t took place also
at a time when the man who is to be
the next president of the United States
was making his campaign on the issue
that guilt is personal. that corpora
tions do not do wrong but individuals
do wrong, and that the one response
BILE man should be sent to jail
Mr.. Mellen and Mr. Chamberlin
cannot plead that they were not only
doing what everybody else is doing.
Everybody is not brazenly engaged in
lconspiring to destroy competition, and
| in the Standard Oil and Tobacco
Trust cases the supreme court of the
United States has already given plain
warning as to the meaning of the law.
The Attorney-General had made il
clear that while certain past offenses
might be condoned, such offenses
would not be condoned in the future.
Mr.. Mellen and Mr.. Chamberlin went
into this thing with their eyes open,
and they are entitled to no sympathy.
| 1t is said that juries will not con-
vict respectable business men who
violate the Sherman law. We shall
know more about that after the courts
have finished with the responsible
men of the New Haven and Grand
Trunk. If the evidence fully sustains
the indictment and the jury refuses
to convict, a crisis will have been
reached which will necessitate radi-
cal revision of the antitrust act. ON
the other hand, if Mr.. Mellen and Mr.
Chamberlin are convicted. the law vii
have demonstrated it's power and it,
efficiency. The verdict of the jury

HOPE.

AS fall the towers that children build
with blocks.
AS fade the fancies of the childish
brain.
AS times swift touch turns grey the
raven locks.
AS wintry blast succeeds the sum-
mer rain,
So human hopes. like fragile flowers,
are born;
They bloom and flourish while the
day is bright,
Only to fade ere dawns another morn,
To droop and perish with the fall
of night.
AS falls bright youth before the ad-
vance of age.
AS fadeth beauty ere its hour be
spent,
AS folly blots too oft life's fairest
page,
As flies the arrow from the bow
half bent,
So fall the airy castles which we
build,
So sinks ambition from its loftiest
flight,
So is life's golden urn with ashes
filled,
So end our dreams in winters Bit
ter blight.
Yet ever lives within the human
breast
The seed OF hope, which blossoms
forth again
Out Of the ashes of life's cruel jest
Triumphant! glorious! beautiful!
serene!
Though prison bound. hope thrusts
aside the bars!
Though crushed to earth. still rises
undismayed!
And reaches upward still to grasp the
stars,
Dauntless! immortal! calm and un-
afraid!

MEN HAVE BETTER MANNERS.

When we reflect that the husband
of 1912 is the great grandson of the
husband of 1912, one has to congratu-
late him, whatever his shortcomings,
and one has to express to his wife the
hope that she appreciates her good
luck.
With all due respect to our great
great-grandmother their noble vir-
tues and self-sacrificing lives. the wife
Of a SIS clerk today has more to live
for than the haughtiest Colonial dame
of them all. In 1912 no man dis
graced himself and his class by even
the semblance Of soberness after din
ner. No man could admit even to
himself sneaking predisposition to
middle-class virtue by pretending to
be true to his wife. And nearly every
least a third of his twenty-four chill
dren.
Now, even If the pessimists are
right in believing that the same old
Adam turks in the husband of today,
we must thank our times for the grace
of concealment.
The man of 1912 may be smolder-
ing devil though done believe It. But
at least he doesn't put his cloven
hoof on the table. On the contrary,
he keeps it neatly shod in patent
leather and disposed inconspicuously
on the floor. where you cannot tell II
from the righteous foot of high

So let the most embittered woman
give thanks. If hypocrisy is indeed
the homage Vice pays to Virtue, Vir-
tue was never before so enthroned.
And this is really great improve
ment.

fore you teach a Choctow the Golden

EXPERTS AND THE COST OF

Philadelphia has issued a caution to

assured of IS a week. According TO
the commission, "a conservative esti-
mate of the weekly cost of living for
a self-supporting woman is $3.50.
This is the minimum and it provides
only for a bare existence; it makes no
provision for sickness, for unemploy-
ment or for any Of the amenities of
life"
Similar cautions have been issued
from other cities The sum fixed for
the cost of living varies considerably.
In New Jersey ii was recently placed

experiments made by stu
dents have shown, 1t is said, that il
is possible to live on as little as one
dollar a week so far as food is con-
cerned. These conflicting figures,
from sources equally reliable
and also equally unreliable. confuse
the issue. Perhaps there is no way
in which the cost of living can be
fixed on any general basis. 1t differs
