throngs whose unrestrained plaudits
greeted Englapd's princess she
passed thru five streets to the altar in
stately old Westminster abbey to be-
como the bride OF an English COM
moner.
A bridal march within the walls. rich
in royal associations and ritual wit

tended by the traditional splendors
that mark state occasions. were the
more superficial OF the days proceed
ings. That which captivated an en-
pires imagination was the rcaIiza-
ton Of u dream much older than en-
pircs-the marriage of n beautiful Eiri

The tcstiony OF Eencalogists. that
thru King Henry VII the bride and
bridegroom are both descended from
William tho Conqueror, in no way min

from the palace TO the sanctuary ana
in their tumultous and prolonged out
bursts of cheering and applause, the
good will and approval OF pageant
loving people, anxious to share in the
happiness of this notable day. were
vividly displayed. Another source OF
the nations fclicitations was reflected
in the daily press which eNu'tcd that
'tfis wedding does not link us with a
foreign slliance that might prove in
future years unpopular.
This feeling was expressed in various
other forms. To-day our princess mar
ries not foreign princelinE but an
English gentleman and hers Is no

for reasons OF state.
Tho solitary exception to the editor

Laborite Daily Herald that beneath
the surface OF life in merry England
today lies mass OF misery and suf-
forlng' and England Is not all like

commission of the state, has been
brought in the Oklahoma courts, by
the Petroleum Jobbers' association.
Frank P. WEIGH. president of the
Illinois Oil company, says the COM
mission has established Estate OF
things similar to the taking over
OF the railroads by the federal gov
eminent, in industrial lines, in
GLIDING oil products. The mem
beers of this commission, Mr.. WEIGH
affirms, established a schedule OF
prices in the oil industry.
The Petroleum Jobbers' associ-
alton petition, alleges that the Illi-
nois Oil company It selling its pro-
ducts for less than the established
rate fixed for the state Of Okla
homa, transgressed the state regu-
lations, and asks the courts to can
eel the Illinois Oil company's

In commenting upon the legal
action today, Mr.. WEIGH referred to
the suits brought against the STAN
dard Oil company for conducting a

Times have greatly changed in the
! oil business since that period" he
remarked. "Our company has not
! united with the Petroleum Jobbers
association and we are sued for

dard which amounts to a monop-
oily"
The case will probably be set
for hearing in October, Mr.. WEIGH
states, and he adds also that il
