The country has properly ap plauded Judge Kennesaw Moun tain Landis because he imposed a fine of twenty-nine million dol lars on the Standard Oil for ille gal practices. When upright judg es measure up to their duty in that manner all the world ap plauds. Why? Because for years the trusts have ridden rough shod over law and the people had be gun to fear that the law was too weak to cope with the trust evil. But while the able attorneys of the Federal Government cannot be too highly commended and while Judge Landis has written his name large upon the scroll of just judges, the real hero in this conviction of the Standard Oil trust is not a man at all, The chief credit is due to Miss Ida M. Tarbell. When she began to write and expose the Standard Oil trust years ago, at first the trust magnates laughed at "the stories the old maid had written to make bread," and many folks did not take her stories serious ly. But she continued to write facts with marked ability and power, and she gave facts that proved to show the inside of the trust. Her statements convinced the American people that the oil trust was a law-breaker of t h e first magnitude, and it was her investigations that made possi ble the recent conviction. When the Standard Oil trust is com pelled to go out of business bandits time will surely come if the administration does not fall down) the one person who will deserve the most credit is Miss I da M. Tarbell. What does Miss Tarbell think of the fine and the conviction? Asked her opinion, Miss Tarbell is quoted as saying: "The day of the Standard Oil Company in its old form is over. It mast! either conform now to justice and fair dealing or it ! will fall utterly. I'don t mean that its day is over this year or will be over next year, but it is as surely ended as right is right. . "After thirty-five years of such practices as the Standard Oil Company has been found 'guilty of it is entirely just that, after conviction, the maximum punish ment should be imposed. I am only sorry that the punishment can not be something more than a fine. "What I have done has been for the public. It is not that I have been vindictive, as many people seem to believe. On the oontrary, I have a tremendous admiration for the Standard Oil Company and for many of t h e men in it. In one way they have done a great public service, but they have wipe(l out- of any pos sibility of gratitude from the pub lie for these services by their il legal methods of operation in connection with theirgood work. "If the offences of which they have just been found guilty were their first, we might say that the fine was excessive and be doubt ful about the wisdom of imposing it. But in it is only the last of fence we know of in thirty-five vears. It was just thirty-flveyears ago that the United States Gov- eminent puid to investigate tne Standard : Oil Company for its illegal contrads with railroads. The State of Pennsylvania arose in what was almost a revolution against the Standard's practice. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York in the seventies passed laws to try to stop the trust's draw back and rebates which it was re ceiving. - - ' "The collection of a fine such as has been imposed would be a rebuke attended by great odium, but it is-too much to expect that this odium will reach Mr. Rocke feller, t really believe that ho is convicted of his own righteous ness.IIe raally has What he wants and that is money. I suppose a man who has no collective sense, no feelings for the Tights of the mass, nuiBt be "pretty well dead eued to the contempt of the Jcon temptofthe mass. But I think he is altogether the exception; most of the Standard men are pretty human fellows. They don't like to be despised. "Mr. Rockefeller iB a fanatic. His great strength lies in h i s power tojeoncentrate everything on one result and work to it with out the least deviation. He has been doing that from the first, but he never has grown morally or socially. They had such men in the middle ages, but there are not many of them nowadays." The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scien lists are unanimous in the conclusion that the- generally Accepted limita tion of human life is many years be low the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines it duration seems to he between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged: carelessness then being fatal to long evity.

'' "Fortune lies in the hands of every man who will strive brave ly, honestly, and manfully to ward an appointed goal, It does not lie in riches, nor in the love of women, nor the applause of man. True fortune a man finds within himself; in the sublime consciousness that such duties as he has found to do he has done with all his might.

It is possible for people haying quiet and humdrum lives without any opportunities of gratifying ambition or for taking a leading part on the stage of the world, to make tho most of simple condi tions and to live lives of dignity and joy. , My own belief js that what is commonly called succes has an insiduous power of poison ing the clear spring of life; be cause people who groWto depend upon the stimulus of success sink into dreariness and dullness when that stimulus is withdrawn. Here my critics have found fault with me for not being more strenuous, more virile, more energetic. It is strange to me that my object can have been so singularly misunder stood. I believe with all m y heart; that happiness depends upon strenuous energy; but I think that this energy ought to be expended upon work, and ev eryday life, and relations with others, and the accessible pleas ures of literature and art. The gospel that I detest is the gospel of success, the teaching that ev eryone ought to be discontented with his setting, that a man ought to get to the front, clear a space round him, eat, drink, make love, cry and strive and fight. It is all to be at the expense of fee bler people. That is a detestable ideal, because it is the gospel of tyranny rather than the gospel of equality. It is obvious too, that such success depends upon a man being stronger than hfs fellows; and is only made possible by shoving and hectoring and bully ing the weak. The preaching of this violent gosple has ,'dpne us already grievous harm; it is this which has tended to-depopulate country districts, to make people averse to discharging all honest subordinate tasks, to make men and women overvalue excitement and amusement. The result of it is the lowest kind of democratic sentiment, which says "everyone is as good as everyone else, and I am a little better," and the jealous spirit which says'if I can not be prominent, I will do my best that no one else shall be." Out of it develops the demon of municipal politics, which makes a man strive for a place in the hope of being able to order things for which others have to pay. It is this Jteaching.. which makes power seem desirable for the sake of personal advantages and with no care for responsibility. This spirit seems to me an utterly vile and detestable spirit. It tends to disguise its rank individualism under a pretense of desiring to improve social conditions. I ' do not mean for a moment to say that all social refoimers are of this type; the clean handed social reformer, who desires no personal advantage, and whose influence is a matter of anxious care, is one of the noblest of men; bur. now that scheme of social reform are fashionable, there are'annm her of blatant people who use them tor purposes of personal advancement.

The new railway rates went in- j to effect yesterday, but so far as , could be learned no increased travel resulted from the lower prices of tickets, but annoy ance for ticket sellers certainly re sulted. Some seemed pleased but the complaints of dissatisfied ones outweighed the commendations. A uumber of persons who iTa v e been in the habit of traveling sec ond class asked for second class tickets, but were told that the" second class was, abolished and that it was now as cheap to trav el first class as second . class, whereat they were dissatisfied and said that they did not see that rates were any lower and besides they felt more at home in a second class coach and said they were going to see a lawyer to find if they could not Bue the company. The chief complaint came, how ever, from those who wanted to buy tickets to points outside the state at the new rates and when they were told that there was no reduction on inter-state tickets some of them made insistant com plaint. They insisted that the a- gent did not understand the law, that the law said the rate should be 2 cents in the state and that the cent a mile difference should be taken off that part of thejour ney traveled in North Carolina. All . explanation that the law did not effect interstate trips went for naught and a few of these complainants said they would seek lawyers. And to those who do not understand the powerful effect of the inter-state commerce clause of the Uunited States con stitution some of the conditions which have arisen under the new rate law are peculiar.
