ST. LOUIS GIRL WEEDS
TITLED ENGLlSHMAN

st. Louis, Mo-, May Sir Wilfred
Peek, a typical young Englishman of
title, with passion for globe-trotting
and big-game hunting, today claimed
st. Louis girl, Miss Edwina Thorn
burg, for his bride. The wedding
took place this afternoon in the First
Presbyterian church and was a most
brilliant affair. The Rev. w. ]. Nc
Kittrick, pastor of the church, offici-
ated. The bride had her sister, Mrs.
John H. Holiday, as matron of honor,
and two of Sir Wilfred's sisters were
among the bridesmaids. Mr.. Arthur
Benyon of London acted as best man.
Following the ceremony at the church
large and brilliant reception was
held at the home of the brides moth
er, Mrs. William c. Sailing.
The wedding of Miss Thornburgh
and Sir Wilfred Peek is the culmina-
ton Of an interesting romance. The
pair first met while Miss Thornburg
was travelling in Europe. An &C
quaintance and courtship followed and
soon the engagement was announced
Sir Wilfred was hunting in India when
he received a cablegram from Miss
Thornburg naming the wedding day.
He caught the first liner from Cal
cutta and arrived in London on April
IA. In London he found great ar
ray of wedding presents waiting for
his bride, including thousands of dol
lars worth of gold and silver plate
from relatives and friends.
Sir Wilfrid had the presents packed
in two large boxes, intending to bring
them to st. Louis to display at the
wedding and then take them back to

Oil Company of New Jersey was
placed at $1,301, 516, but since that
time it has been estimated that the Ii
quidating value of the shares is APP
proximately $4,000 each.
This concern, like most of the other
subsidiaries, is believed to have eX-
banded considerably since the dis
solution of the Standard Oil Trust,
and it has been deemed wise to in
crease the capital stock to a figure
more nearly representing the COM
pany's assets. The laws of Iowa are
such that it would be difficult to in
crease the capital of the old concern
and therefore the problem has been
solved by the incorporation of new
company in Colorado. The propoS
ton to exchange one share in the old
company for ten shares in the Colo
RADIO company virtually amounts to the
distribution of a 900 per cent stock
dividend to the stockholders of the
Continental Oil Company of Iowa.

A FULL TARIFF TRY-oUT.

This paper is glad to iterate and re-
iterate that it has no sympathy with
the efforts in Congress to thwart or
modify the tariff program as put forth
by the Democratic party organization
but really laid down by President
Wilson. There ought to be no SYM
pathy with such embarrassment and
obstruction whether by high tariff
Democrats, Republicans, or Progress
sives.
This is not our opinion as sharing
the economic views of the Wilson ad-
ministration and his party organiza-
ton. We don't share them. But the
Democratic party is in control of the
Government under special commits
sion to reduce the tariff on Free Trade
principles or as near Free Trade prin-
ciples as could be followed with
out causing utter disaster to the in
dustry, the business, and the wage
earnings of this country.
Pledged to do that thing, elected 10
do it, whether by division Of the
opposing forces or not, the thing for
the Democrats to do is to do it..
And the thing for high tariff Demo
Gratis, Republicans, and Progressives
is not to fight them when they are
doing it.
Indeed, If, as against the tariff for
revenue only of the Democrats, those
parties that believe in reasonable pro
tective duties are right, then the very
best thing for them and for the coun-
try is to let the Democratic govern
ment go, unopposed and undiscour-
aged, to the full length of its tether
It is now in the political stars.

TRUSTEES WERE
UP in The AIR
ADJOURNED WITHOUT MAKING
PROVISIONS FOR PAYMENT
OF ACCOUNTS.

Jackson, Miss, May S.-The peni-
Tertiary board of trustees, which held
its regular session Tuesday, was so
frustrated over the confession of Sec
rotary Laurence Yerger that he had
embezzled prison funds amounting to
about 100000, and the subsequent
spirited exchange of letters with Gov
Brewer that the body adjourned with
out arranging to pay the regular
monthly accounts or even approving
the minutes of the proceedings.
Mrs. o. NJ. Spinkard, the new secre-
tary of the board, was given authority
to sign checks, but, unfortunately, Mrs.
Pickard can't approve accounts, and
as a consequence creditors of the
penitentiary whose claims amount to
about 100000 will have to wait until
the next meeting.

A PRESSED ROSE.

And | think of the day it was first

And carefully laid away.
think of the night that she wore it
there
At the dance in the long ago,
AS it lay in the strands of her golden
hair,
Matching her cheeks bright glow.
All, poor little faded rose, you've lain
In the album for many a day
And my heart has long since broke in
twain
For the girl who went away,
She only lives today in dreams
God bless her, is my prayer.
Sometimes her form is near, it seems
Sometimes 1 stroke her hair.

And the whispered love words low
But where she is through joy or tears
Only she and the good God knows.

if it proves the least bit better than
the old system-then we all ought to
be glad to have it. If it isn't better
if it is worse, if it is positive in

we try it out and prove it, the better
for everybody concerned.
1t is for those reasons that high
tariff Democrats, Republicans and
Progressives ought, it the Democratic
Government wants to go the limit, to
let it go the limit. Then if they had
the power to stop the Democratic
government from going that limit
they ought not to stop it.
1t might very easily De, if the Demo
cratic theories are dead wrong, that
merely holding them back from
going the limit, without at the same
time keeping them entirely off the
rocks, would leave the country in a

LOCOMOTIVE LABORATORY
~ AT UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

Urbanam, Ill, May ga two-day pro-
gram of exercises was inaugurated
here today in connection with the ded-
ication of the locomotive laboratory,
railway engineering laboratory and
mining engineering laboratory, three
buildings recently erected in a group
at the University of Illinois. AS a re-
suit of the increased facilities afforded
by the new laboratories it is expected
that the state university will soon
take rank among the best technical
institutions in America.
The practical side of railway trans
portation in every detail is to be taught
at the university. The new transpor-
tation building cost 100000 and con-
tains what is declared to be the finest
laboratory in the world for testing To-
comotives. In the testing plant a To-
connective can be run under conditions
which may be varied at will. Prob
lens of hauling power and coal and
steam consumption may be easily in
vestigated. Engine friction, which
cannot be determined in ordinary road
tests, may be easily tested in the lab
oratory.

A NEW RECORD in EXPORTS.

Business may be slowing down somewhat in
view of the uncertainty regarding the actual extent

for trade at large cannot be made to spell any such
gloom as is expressed in the stock market. The
showing is notably in contrast with the depths Of
pessimism reflected in Wall Street
The speculative quarter of the country has a
record for discounting industrial history in advance
If it is repeating its achievement at this time, its
prophecy is based on foreboding rather than fact
The foreign trade figures for seven months such
as have been surpassed but once in trade history.
And we believe that no such brilliant showing in
foreign trade has ever been recorded if domestic
trade were ntrinsically out of joint.
January, 1913, shows an excess of exports oil
S20OOOOO0 over the same month in 1908, which
up to that time held the record. This great increase
means the more because in 1908, while exports were
large the lack of funds to get imports tat years

Wilson the Democratic nominee Perhaps he thinks
that Wilson should be willing to give assurance of

Wilson will at length decide to give such assurance;
but there is little in his public career to give color to
such expectation. He might willingly enough give

A CASE TO THE POINT.

It has been repeatedly urged by this newspaper
that if there shall be legislation constitutional
amendment looking to change of the Inauguration
date it ought to reach as far as general revision
of our political calendar.
President Taft IS taking steps to keep the in
coming President informed on Mexican affairs, so
that when the change comes a complicated situation
will not be presented to man ignorant of its de-
tails.
1t is poor way to make national policy. There
ought to be no such long interregnum between the
defeat of President Congress, and the assump-
ton of authority by their designated successors Il
is fair to neither the outgoing officials, their success
sors-elect, nor the public interest.

Der there would be no such embarrassing compli-
