ply of oil is low has not now a leg to
stand on. The Standard Oil Company
of Ohio confesses that it carries, at
present, surplus of more than $780,
200 gallons of gasoline. That is to
say. it has constantly in store more
than 100000 gallons of gasoline in
excess of the possible demand. Is it
not pure fiction to talk about short
age in such circumstances?
1t is a after of eviden &c that the
Standard Oil companies regulate the
frees of their c. nmcdities without
much regard for production; that they
fix prices arbitrarily; that they are
governed in he fixing of prices only
the necessity of avoiding the pro-
hibitory point. To put it in another
way, the conclusion to be drawn from
the evidence submitted before investi-
cation committees is that the Standard
Oil companies tax the consumer all
he is capable of bearing.
Just how far the companies are
within or without the law in thus
conducting their business, we do not
profess to know or undertake to say.
We are not advised as to whether the
judiciary departments of the states
and that of the nation have inquired
sufficiently into the matter to discover
how far the oil companies may legiti-
mately or safely carry their present
methods that they may distribute huge
dividends. The judiciary department
officers of the states and of the nation,
it seems reasonable to assume, have
given attention and thought to the
matter. If they have not. is it not
high time they were doing so? Or.
is it not high time the people to whom
they are responsible were inquiring
why they are not doing so?

SIDE TALKS

BY RUTH CAMERON.

THAT is the fifth wedding gift I've
sent this month";" woman said to me,
one day during the past June. Some
of them are to young people I scarcely
know" she went on; but when was
married their parents sent me beauti-
full gifts, and of course 1 want to send
to them. I have been married fifteen
years and 1 give ten to fifteen gifts =
year and I'm not paid up yet.
well, anyhow" she ended with a
laugh, they'll probably give to my
children when they are married, SO
can comfort myself with that
"And then your children will have
to give to their Children 1 reminded
her.
And we both laughed.
This Woman'S case is interesting.
Her father was very well-to-do. She
had a large wedding and magnificent
gifts. Her husband has moderate
income and her father has lost his
money. Consequently. the steady drain
from wedding gifts is really elnbar-
RAISING for her.
To be sure, she enjoys possessing
the beautiful ornaments, the wealth OF
china, cut glass and silver with which
she was presented, but if it were a
question of going without some of
these, or paying the price she now is
paying, 1 am pretty sure she would do
without.
And 1 am sure there are many 9TH
er women who could say the same.
To me, the possession of the flot-
sam of bric-a-brac which the high
tide of a large wedding leaves strand
ed in our lives would be almost as
much of drawback as having to pay
the donor.
For nv ideal of a home is one in
which the furnishings and pictures
and ornaments express the tastes of
the occupant. "Our choices are our
selves"
What is one to do about it then,
dispense with the wedding gift or give
up the big wedding?
Well. 1 do wish we could re-estab-
lish the whole thing on a simpler.
more spontaneous basis wish we
could have gifts from those who want,
and can afford to give, and freedom
from the obligation for those who can
not; also, more consulting OF the re
cipient's taste and less attempt to get
som ething that will look as if it cost
more than it does.
I wonder if such a reorganization
would be totally impossible?
A friend of mine has still more
revolutionary suggestion:
There's no use blinking the fact"
she says, people have big weddings
partly to furnish their homes, and
then they get a whole lot of dupli-
Gates and things they don't want.
Now, why not have a subscription
wedding? A wedding is an entertain
ment, you know. You could leave the
amount of the subscription to the
Judgment of the giver You might
put small contributions thankfully
received, large ones in proportion on
the end of the invitation, then you
could take the money and buy what
you really needed
Whatever else you can say of that
suggestion, you must admit it's orig

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.

In a discussion editorially of the
pending differences between the rail-
roads and their employees, the Des
Noines Capital suggests leaving the
solution to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. That commission fixes
the incomes of the railroads and
should have authority to fix the outgo,
says the Capital The editorial in part
fellows:
1t would be difficult to enforce the
eight hour day in the railroad work,
especially in the running of trains.
Very few trains originate and COM
plete a run in eight hours If a
train is on a side track and must wait
for other trains, time is passing and
the eight hours would soon expire. We
presume that the railway employees do
not expect to shorten their hours but
they do expect to increase their wages.
If man work eight hours at so cents
per hour, and work four hours over
time. for the overtime he will receive
rs cents per hour. If a man work
twelve hours at SO cents per hour, he
will receive SIS. If he work eight
hours at SO cents an hour and four
hours at rs cents per hour, he would
receive 81. The question then to be
determined in ending the dispute is
whether or not a man should have
81 for twelve hours work.
The railway employees are loyal and
they are willing to lie on sidetracks,
then run their trains in when they get
a chance. There has never been any
dispute about their loyalty nor has their
efficiency been questioned. After all
has been said and done, the present
dispute is in regard to the pay of the
men. The railroads say they cannot
afford to pay the overtime price which
is asked. Somebody must determine
what must be done. President Wilson
has attempted to secure the consent of
the railroad managers to the eight
hour day proposition. If the man.
ayers consent to the eight hour day.
the next move of the employees will
be for the price and one-half over
time. This will be the sticking point
The overtime will mean big increase
in wages. If the dispute proceed, the
final decision ought to be by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. That
commission fixes the incomes of the
railroads and should have authority
to fix the outgo.
One thing is certain, the country
will have no patience with strike.

TINIMY GRAYrA1L,s RIDE
By CLARA INGRAM JUDSON

Of course you remember Jimmy
Graytail and his little friend Sammy
Slimnose. They were the two clever
little rabbits who lived in the city pars
and jolly times they did have.
Now Jimmy Graytail wasn't afraid
of anything-in the park. He wasn't
afraid of boys or girls or grown folks
or storms or boats or golf balls or
anything-in that whole park And
Sammy wasn't afraid of anything that
Tinlmy wasn't afraid of; SO between
the two of them they were pretty
brave.
One morning Jimmy looked over
the grass where they usually played,
and he said, Stupid business, playing
here in the same old park all the time.
Nothing exciting herer
And Sammy, who wasn't much more
than an echo anyway, replied, Not

A man once met with a serious ac-

Almost my first conscious thought,

1t was an old story, how much you
meant to me- Nobody, facing death,
is ever sorry for the thoughtful words
OF love he has spoken; but, ah, the
bitter regrets of those who failed to
say the word of appreciation until too
late. A very practical application of
this topic would be for every person
who considers it, to make a point of
saving a thoughtful word, or doing a
thoughtful deed, before he goes to
sleep tonight. At every step of our
lives there wait those who would be
made happier by single word of ap-
probation. And those who are nearest
are those who need it most.
The secret of social charm is to
think of other persons first gen.
uine interest in others will carry one
farther than a brilliant wit or beau
tiful face.
To the very young a certain amount
OF heedlessness is permitted, because
they are young and irresponsible. But
older persons are held strictly to ac-
count by this stern world. They are
not permitted to be careless and
thoughtless, without paying the pen-
atty. 1t is a mark of maturity that
one must accept responsibility for
every word and action, as if it had
been carefully premeditated.
Tact turns more lives than logic.
Little kindnesses may have great
consequences.
We have not always attached full
significance to the fact that Jesus be-
gan His ministry by an act of social
saved the host from embarrassment.
This mere matter of Refreshments at
wedding dinner might seem trivial
to many men: Jesus did not think so.
AS HIS presence at the wedding for
ever sanctified marriage itself ana
social festivity, so also it stressed be-
yond measure the Importance of con-
s1dering another's feelings in the So
called lighter affairs of life. The Cana
home that was established that day
must have held in perpetual remem-
prance the graciousness of the great
Christ.
