The s. O. Then and Now

A good many things are happening prove that the world is growing better They nave been hap pening a long time Conspicuous amoHg them is the changed and changing attitude of tie Stand ard Oil company toward the public. There up with this rapidly growing concern, from it's inception, the impression that it most heart less corporation. Very few have had the cour- age or, rather, the hardihood to defend the least harmful acts of the Standard Oil company. It never asked defense by the way. It was always strong enough to crush competition and to break through such laws intended for it's restraint It grew richer as more impeding laws made until at last it obtained control of the oil producing industry throughout the world and became in- fluentia factor in the financial operations of the nation.
 The public be damned" it reported that one of the vanderbilts once said. He denied prob ably with truth that he guilty of such speech, bnt without saving it. the Standard Oil acted it.
 We are reminded however, that whatever the Standard Oil once was it is something different now and we must admit that it's change is of it's own volition It is taking the public into its conf- dence It issues monthly handsome and enter taining periodical the latest number of which con tains an interesting description of an invention for the subduing of fires in otaks and other great reservoirs about oil-works. The subjugation Of the flames is accomplished by the automatic flooding of them with kind of foam produced by a special fluid whose composition is described as well as the machinery by which it is applied.
 This invention has been patented by the Stand ard Oil company, but the company announces that the free use of it by rival companies will be per mitted.
 We could not imagine the Standard Oil com pany of a of years or the Standard Oil company of a much later period, offering such gift to a competitor to save from devastating loss

AMERICAN PATRIOTISM.

In q recent address before d class in George Washington university Rear Admiral Charles Her bert Stockton spoke of the patriotism of tine people in the European countries now at war ana doubted if equal patriotism to be found anywhere IT the United States. except possibly in the middle west.
 When something that requires acton he said the middle west says. What shall We do? In Washington we say. What shall congress do:
 After acknowledging the compliment and return ing thanks. middle western people may be pard"hed for wondering whether the admiral is quite fair in the rest of the country. In Washington, to be sure the patriot after the job and the man WHO hllrrahs for the old flag and an appropriation uN the patience and faith of real patriots but the middle west remembers that it's fUundaton Stoch is eastern New England, the middle Atlantic states Virginia and the Carolnas peopled this couhu! with men who brought their patriotism Wlth theih and handed it down to later generations There IS more or less difference between Mlssorl anu Virginia New York and Wisconsin, in accent tailor ing and ways of looking at the railroad question: but why should there be more difference III the American nisnl of Americans than there was when Jefferson and Adams loved their country ana each other but differed violently about poltlcs anu the constitution? The separation between the east and middle west has not been for very long. ollA the other day a Missourian born in Virginia Who had seen Thomas Jefferson died in this state Would the patriotism of himself. his sons or his srand- sons have failed if he had stayed in the oid l'o- minion? ....x of the country as a whole falls below that of Rus sa France or Germany will strike Amerlcans al large as utterly ungroun6ed American pa'rIoliSii is a different thing, perhaps from hussi'r "ei man or French patriotism.

THE "cHRlsTMAs DAY ARMIsTIcE"

If a peace movement movement for media tion in Europe held any hope of success, the Tribune would hail it with joy It cannot, however pump up much enthusiasm over the big movement reported from London in favor of truce or armis- tce for Christmas day.
 The idea that the gospel of peace on earth and good will toward enjoins truce for that sin gle day. even though and slaughter continue until that day indefinitely thereafter is an idea that cannot appeal to cear-headed and sober-mind- ed thinkers. It would never occur, we are sure to the French who proud of their sense of reality and their ability things as they are
 Why deceive ourselves? Why encourage hy- pocrisv and make-b believe? truce for Christmas day would mean nothing but service, an empty and worthless tribute the ideal of peace and good will. Why pretend and make mockery of sacred gospel?
 There is and if the continues there will be, no peace and good will among the beligerents and those responsible for the wicked conflict should real ize it. should their victims among the living. The truce would be a cruel irony to the soldiers in the field and their families at home Peace and good will' Christmas day with the desperate fighting scheduled resumption after midnight with dawn? The idea is not happy one let it be dropped ncontinently for the sake of common sense and sincerity.-Chicago Tribune.

BASEBALL PROFITS

The total receipts of S226,739 from the four games of the worlds series, and the handsome bonuses paid to the players of both the winning and losing team, strikingly illustrate the financial proportions to which the national game has grown. But this years series has done more than shay the money there is in it." It has vindicated the honesty of the game itself. in spite of the com- mercialism of it's management.
 To have prolonged the contest through seven games, with the cham pionship hanging in the balance to the end, would have been worth at least $10O,0 900 to the owners. As it is, they have profited little, if at all, from the shorter series because of the heavier expenses. Where thy will gain will be in the more favorable attitude of the public toward baseball as a result Of the demonstration that games are de- cided on their merits and without sus- picion of "jockeying" with q view to larger gate receipts.
