Slap at Supreme Court.

snap AOuEl.
If judges of the United States su-
preme court were ordinary human be-
ings we should wonder what they
think of the annual report of the
Standard Oil Co.. which shows that
this years earnings will approximate
500, 10000 as compared to $50, OO0.-
900 last year.
1t was not many months ago thai
the supreme court officially de-
nounced the Standard Oil Co. as one
OF our most vicious trusts, and de
creed that this trust should be dis
solved. If their minds operate like
ordinary minds we wonder what they
think when they perceive that their
decree of dissolution does not dis
solve; that its only result is to in
crease the net earnings from $780,
10000 TO 100000, 900, which is 20
percent on the enormous value of
property which has been amassed. &C
cording TO the supreme court,
through monopoly and oppression"
Within this year the Standard Oil
Co. has increased the price of gaso-
line from II to Is cents gallon and
kerosene from six to eight cents a
gallon, and this in spite of the gen.
eral Improvement of business and
large earnings. 1t has done this be-
cause il could, and 1t could because
1T is an undissolved monopoly.
Ten percent on the corporations
capital stock would be ample divi-
dends for my business, so the addi-
tional s50,000,00O which has been
taken from the people is the annual
tax of an oppressive corporation
which has been dissolved by the
supreme court. And yet Justice Day
declares the tendency of the public to
speak disrespectfully of our courts.

With today the season for shooting

Birds are still plentiful, but they ara

Many hunters went out yesterday for

344 innings-just averaging eight in

WILSON HURR1Es DEMOCRATS.
Senators Informed Early Action is
Wanted on Tariff and Currency.

Washington, Aug. 14.-President
Wilson to-day informed Democratic
Senators he was unalterably opposed
to any recess Of the Senate between
the time the tariff bill is passed and
currency is taken up. He made it
plain that he believed it the duty Of
the Democratic party not to hesitate
in its program Of legislative reform,
but to dispose Of the tariff and cur
rency during the present session of
Congress, so that the December ses-
sion may promptly take up antitrust
and other important legislation, car
rying out platform pledges.
The President communicated his
views through Secretary Tumulty,
who got in touch with most Of the
Democratic Senators and concluded
that a substantial majority was in
favor Of immediate legislation and
no recess.
incidentally the President took a
strong position on the question Of
Legislative agreements between Dem
ocrats and Republicans in Congress.
He believes that the Democrats, as
the dominant party, should proceed
with determination and not trade
with the minority.
The fact that Republican Senators
had informally agreed to speed up
consideration Of the tariff bill If a
recess were assured after it's passage,
prompted the President to urge that
business throughout the country de-
manded early action on the tariff, re-
gardless of whether any vacation or
recess was promised in return.
Democratic Seantors were caucus
ing on the recess proposal at the time
President Wilson's views were made
known.

LONG BLIND, HE SEES BABY.
Grandfather Finds Her Hair Differ

New York, Aug. 14.-After two
years and four months Of blindness,
Samuel Sayer, Of No. 1850 Park ave-
nue., Brooklyn, yesterday recovered
his sight, and for the first time saw
his granddaughter, Caroline, born as
his eyes failed, and since then his
constant companion. Taking the
child in his arms and holding her up
to the sun again and again, he cried
joyfully, II can see, / can sect"
Sayer was operated on for cata-
ract Of the left eye in the Brook
lyn Eye and Ear Hospital on July 8,
and whom the bandages were re-
moved yesterday it was found the
sight was fully restored.
While he was an auditor for the
Erie Railroad Sayer felt his vision
growing weak and he finally had to
give up his position. In his misfor-
tune Caroline Winifred, daughter Of
Sayer's son Henry, who lives at No.
1857 East Twelfth street, Flatbush,
came to comfort him. The blind
man would sit with her in his lap
hour after hour.
Il had mental picture Of her
face and form," he said to a World
reporter last night, "from constantly
feeling over her with my hands. But
her hair-that puzzled me. I thought
1T was black. Now I see 1t is fair.
Thank God, I can see it,"
One Of Sayer's eyes is still defec-
tive, but he says it is to be treated
in September, when he expects to re-
turn to his work.

Things Forbidden i'm War.
(LondOn Tit-Bits. }

London Tit-Bits.)
1t is not generally realized that
the game OF war is hedged around by
as many restrictions as a boxing con-
test under Queensberry rules. These
regulations, which are under the
sanction of all the civilized countries
Of the world, are designed to insure
fair play for the combatants.
When it is intended to lombard a
place, due notice should be given, so
that all women and children may be
removed to a place Of safety; and
every care must be taken TO spare
churches and hospitals, as well as all
charitable or educational buildings
All chaplains, doctors and nurses
are protected in every possible way
and are not TO be taken prisoners or
in any way injured.
Any soldier robbing or mutilating
an enemy is liable to be shot without
trial and death is the penalty for
wounding or killing a disabled man.
The bodies Of the enemy ARE to be
carefully searched before burial, and
any articles found on them which
might lead to their Identification are
to be sent to the proper quarters.
Explosive bullets must not be used,
and qua. :er must be given to the
enemy whether he asks for it or not.
In an attack on the enemy there
must be no concealments Of the dis
tinctive signs Of the regiments, and
the use Of poisons for polluting
drinking water Is strictly forbidden.

Fatten Your Farm.
(Farm and Fireside. }

A tendency exists among many far
mers to burn up all cornstaks, loose
straw, clover chaff and superfluous
roughage about the place. But it is
too expensive.
Every time an acre of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitro
gen goes into the air and will cost
you $3.50 to buy back again. Wheat
or oat straw from an acre contains
about twelve to fourteen pounds Of
nitrogen, and clover chaff three times
this amount.
One can easily figure from these
deductions what a reckless loss to
the farm is a fire in the chaff pile or
stalk field. The Cutaway and disk
harrows will chop these bulky mate
rials up ready for the plow, when
they can be turned under. If you
want to fatten the Old farm stuff it
with organic matter.

first note was sounded on the 80"
