ii has often puzzled the uuinitiatel
to give reason why musicians tune
their instrument in public. and no.

they tuned their instruments before
entering the theater or concert room

not be in tune.

WHAT is rHE OTHER SIDE?

Somehow the government should get before
the public its side Of the prosecution of the
American Naval stores Company, with head
quarters at Savannah. Ga, The company's Off
GERS have sent out, through the newspapers. a
statement declaring that while entirely solvent
and with a surplus of 100000, they have
been forced to suspend because of the hostile
activities OF the federal authorities under the
antitrust law, They declare that "a business
which II has taken thirty years Of intelligent
work to construct" has been destroyed. Yet
If intelligent men have constructed a business
on foundation of illegality. they have no
right TO complain, however honest their conduct
may have been. no matter how advantageous
to the public the results of their combination
may have been The business Of the govern
ment is to enforce the law as 1t is. In this
case it is certain the Naval Stores Company
had fun warning Since the work of enforce
ment of the Sherman law began there has been
three or four years Of time in which the com
pany could have readtusted Its organization and
methods to comply with the law.
The naval stores business is one of special
opportunities for monopoly. Most Of its mer-
chandise being turpentne, resin and other pro
ducts Of the pine tree the sources Of supply
can be located precisely and the quantity regu-
lated almost exactly Producer and buyer alike
can be put at the mercy of a powerful combi-
nation. pine tree yielding sap is not like
an annual crop which may be lessened or In
creased from year to year according to the
weather or the prospects Of market and profit
Experience has taught how much a tree will
yield how long it VIII yield and the quantity and
quality to be expected from It. pine can be
MIXED as regularly as a cow and with the
same expectation Of the result of It's bleeding.
The operation is one of destruction.
As the present case stands now before the
public the American Naval Stores Company IS
the victim Of reckless or malicious proseeu-
tion 1t is part of the duty of the governments
Representatives to understand the power of pub
lie sentiment and the rapidity with which it can
be shifted and reversed by skillful appeal and
argument, and not only to enforce the law, but
to defend it when it is assailed. Therefore, di-
rectly or indirectly, We should have put before
the people clear explanation Of the offences
guilty and of the reasons and methods OF the
of which the defendant is supposed TO have been

decision If you going in for the king busl-

two good audiences at the John Mar

city and to the school children. and
the second at night 10 the school off,

Good audiences heard both lectures,
which were highly interesting end
lacking in too much technical detail,
Professor Wheeler spoke in general
terms, becoming technical only when
necessary, and easily made plain the
Importance of proper care of the teeth
and mouth. He showed by word and
stereopticon illustrations how teeth
become decayed and why, and the eff
feet diseases Of the teeth and gums
have upon the human system.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Richmond Dental So

interest in the subject among parents

Marriage Laws and Divorce.

To what extent the divorce evil is encroaching
national life is shown by the report of the
Illinois commission appointed to secure evil
dence on that subject
The figures 1t submits are staggering Within
the last half century divorce has increased on an
average of more than three and one-third times
as fast the population In the past year it is
estimated that 10o, 600 divorces granted
it Is within moderation to say tn in the last
fifty years 1000 900 homes have been wrecked,
and that nearly million and half of children
under the age of ten were deprived of one or
both parents
Compare the figures for 1900 In twenty Eu-
ropean countries, In addition to Australia Can
ada. and New Zealand, with a total population of
267, 100000 against our population at that
time OF 10000, 900.
The divorces granted in the twenty-three
countries 27,00l. che divorces granted in
this country $4,000. The rate here was
seven times that of Europe.
The commission believes a remedy can be
found only by revision Of Sur marriage laws
We never hope" says its report TO Grad
icate the evil Of the divorce court until we sa
guard the morals and health of the cor munity
by just and adequate marriage laws "
