AFTER LONG DELAY.

The Sherman anti-t trust act was passed
Ghirty-one years ago and has remained
passive until about three weeks ago,
when it first became effective by penalis
ing it's violation. The offenders were
m embers of the so-called building trust
Seventy Individuals and corporations
were brought to bar and pleaded guilty.
Three men were sentenced to Jail fol-
four months and to pay fine of 81, OOC
each. One man was sentenced to jai
for two months and to pay fine of S..
500. Twenty nine others were fined from
$500 to 5000 each, and eleven corpora
ton members of the combine were fined
50, 900 each and six others were fined
from $500 to So, 500 each. The Sherman
Act was approved by President Harrison,
July 2, 1890. The first section of the
act says: every contract, combination
i the form of trust or otherwise, or con-
spiracy, in restraint of trade CT commerce
a mong the several States, or with for
eign nations, is hereby declared to be
Illegal. Every person who shall make
any such contract, or engage in any such
combination or conspiracy, shall all be
declared guilty of misdemeanor and on
conviction thereof, shall be punished by
a fine not exceeding $4,000, or by inn
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
by both said punishments at the discre-
ton of the court" The weakness of this
law is found in the fact that its penalties
we're not deterrent. The seventeen cor
porations mentioned above, doubtless
rotited greatly from their conspiracies
and small fines will not in any great de-
gree lessen that form of profiteering.
The tardy non-enforcement of this act by
the executives of this country and by the
legal agencies at their command is inde-

NOT UP TO u. S. TO SURRENDER

The American people have made il
pretty evident that they expect reduced
ornaments, therefore reduced taxes, as q
speedy result of the internationa liconfer-
ence at Washington. Nearly every sem
ator and congressman who has returned
from a vacation black home" reports
the cry for economy and peace.
But here's the rub. The rules of ir-
ternational conference are those of a po-
ker game. The spokesman of each ma
ton 'sit in" with certain cards in their
hands which in the final showdown de-
termine the price that nation pays for
the advantages it gains. We may all
fervently wish it were otherwise, but it
is not, and we must face the facts.
Our strongest card in the present in
stance is our undaunted ability to stand
a program of competitive armament bet
ter than any other nation. Failure to
reach an agreement for the curtailment
of military expenditure will mean a more
acute calamity to the people of Great
Britain and Japan than to our own.
Their concessions, therefore, should be in
proportion. But if public clamor in this
country is too insistent, their spokesman
can use it as a club to strike more ad
vantageous bargain with us, and we may
be sure they will push every advantage
of the sort to the utmost.
1t is clearly the part of patriotism,
therefore, to put our fate in the hands of
our spokesman with the understanding
that we want peace, but not peace at
any ice. Was it not Marshal Foch who
said: Remember always. the enemy is
more exhausted than YOURSELF" We
have no enemies but in this friendly
game of disarmament we must still
watch the other fellows bluff Leslie S
Weekly.

1t has been frequently suggested tina
an alliance between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan would insure the
peace of the world. Such an alliance
would be able to prevent the smaller ma
lions from engaging in war but we do
not think the entire world should be in
the absolute control of super power of
allied nations. Moreover, we do not be-
lieve the suggested alliance would long
continue to work together in amity and
good faith. Great Britain and Japan
have designs and ambitions which ar e

Not Bad Cook But Bad Stomach.

The word dyspepsia means literally bad
cook, but it will not be fair for manv
people to lay the blame on the cook if
they begin the Christmas Dinner with
little appetite and end it with distress or
nausea.
1t may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the cook!
The disease, dyspepsia, indicates bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather
than bad cook. and for a weak stomach
we know of nothing else equal to Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This digestive and tonic
medicine helps the stomach, gives it vigor
and tone, relieves dyspepsia, creates an
appetite and makes eating the pleasure
it should be.
The biliousness and constipation found
In SO many cases of dyspepsia are gently
and thoroughly relieved by Hoods Pills,
which act in perfect harmony with Hood 3

THE REVENUE BILL

The new revenue bill was passed in the
House of Representatives and sent TO the
Senate for concurrence several months
ago. The Senate made 1888 amendments
20 the House bill. The House accepted
all but of these amendments. The bill
as amended was passed by House vote
of 232 to l09, and in the Senate by vote
Of 80 to 20. The m aiorities by which the
dill passed indicates that it is a fairly
good enactment, but it is quite generally
regarded as being temporary measure
because in these days of unsettled BUSH
ness conditions it is not possible to place
our tax system on stable or a scientific
basis. 1t is estimated that the new bill
will yield about S729, 600, eco less, in an
nual taxes, than was received under the
old law

Col. Raymond Robins delivered a pub
lie address few days ago in which he
said:
"The fundamental principle beneath all
policies of Great Britain is sea-power
and the reason is necessity Any power
that can successfully contest the power
OF England on the seas can starve Lon
don, and the statesmen of the empire
know it,"
Doubtless the English statesmen and
the English people would like to reduce
their naval expenditures, but when Eug-
land makes an ultimatum in the confer
ence she will demand the right to MAIN
tain navy large enough to defend Eng
land.

Judge Grimm, of the Circuit Court of
Wisconsin, said in speech few days
ago:-"The appetite for liquor is decreas-
ing and will die in time. Public thought
will result in sober nation in five years.
1t is sign of the times" 1t certainly
seems to be true that in the United
States there are a great number of people
who have given up the use of intoxi.
cants. They have learned by experience
that they can do without them and that
the money formerly spent for liquor will
obtain for them comforts which ale more
than compensation for the loss of booze
of any sort. We fear, however, that at
the end of five years, this optimistic
Judge will be somewhat disappointed.

Senator Borah became noisy, if not
frantic, when he heard the proposal of
President Harding for annual interna-
tional conferences. Practical American
people will be in no hurry to endorse the
proposal of the President, neither will
they pay any serious attention to hot air
from Idaho. We believe they will think
it prudent to await the outcome and re-
suits of the conference now going on in
Washington. After that has been con-
cluded and the results following it have
been noted for year or two, they viii
know whether further conferences are
necessary or advisable.

What is the significance of the word
apocalypse"
The question has been propounded SO
often in connec ton with the Rex Ingram
production for Me tro of the world famous
novel, THE Fo ur Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" by vi cente Blasco Ibanes,
that Webster must be called upon for an
answer.
Webster's de finitlon of the word is "a
revelation; disclosure In the early
Greek version of the Bible, the last book
of the New Testament was called '"The
Apocalypse of st. john In the later
versions of the Bible, the book became
the Revelation"
Pronunciation of the word, which also
is shown by numerous correspondents of
Metros as an all but unsurmountable
STUN bling block, has been solved by Web
ster by placing the emphasis on the sec
ond syllable.
Visualzng the sy mbolic figures of ''The
Four Horsemen" had its foundation in
Albrecht Durer's original set of wood
etchings, done in the year 1911. The
original wood cuts form but small fea-
ture of collection of art treasures that
are seen in the production. The total
value set by insurance appraisers upon
the tapestries, paintings and other bor-
rowed art works is $45O, 1000.

Only three are women. Forty convicts,

. The manufacture of sleighs has been
unusually brisk, and 200 of them will have
been turned out when the season closes.
There have been shipments from the pri-

sleighing about all the time except the
Fourth of July. The harness business is
also good, and many truck bodies and
wagons are being turned out in the carri-
