Zech. Ix, B?Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Staarna.
It la sometimes difficult to gpt the
correct sequence of events In tbe life
of our Lord. but It does seem from
John zli. 1. 2, that the supper and
anointing at Bethany took place six
days before tbe passover and Just be
fore the so called triumphal entry of
tbe lesson today, and yet tbe lesson
oa the anointing Is not assigned us
till Oct 4. Well, tbe order of events
does not always matter much if w*
see Himself more clearly and receive
the message for our owu hearts. Tbe
latst event of this lesson Is recorded
In each -of the four gospels and was a'
literal fulfillment of the prediction la
Zicharlab (our Golden Text), quoted
io Mntt. xxl. 4. 5; John xii. 15. Ful
filled prophecy Is the key to that
w)ilch Is aa yet unfulfilled, so we
should confidently expect aa literal a
fulfillment of other predictions of
Zacbsrlab. such as those In Zech. U.
10-12; vl. 12. 13; vlU, 22, 23; xil. 9. 10.
After the nlgbt at Bethany, wbea
Laaarua, whom He had raised from
tbe dead, was one of them that sat at
the table with Him (John xIL 1, 2). Ha
and His disciples proceeded toward
Jerusalem. On tbe way He aent two
of the disciples to. find an ass and colt
tied In a village near by. saying that
they should k>ose them and bring them
Him, and If any one asked why

The colt was one whereon yet never
man eat, reminding us that He was
Vary's firstborn and also that Jo

till It received Hi? body. The disci

as Peter and John were a little later
sent to prepare the passover (Lake
xxll. 8) they may have been the two
sent on this occasion also. Whoever
they were, t bey found even as He bad
said unto them, bath In connection
with the colt and tjnt man bearing the

Oa Foot. ,
President Wilson last night dlre^
ed James C. McReynoIds, Attorney
General, to begtn the biggest criminal
prosecution ever contompted by the
United Statea government under the
Sherman anti-trust lev*. -
He instructed Mr. Reynolds to lay
before a grand jury charges against
the director? of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany. Some of those directors are the
most Important financiers of the coun
try.
Heavy Penalities Apply.
Imprisonment and heavy flnss are
the penalities If convictions are ob
tained. The directors are accused of
the formation of a gigantic, traffic
monopoly In New England, and crush
ing competition In interstate com
merce. * I
Mr. Wilson also directs Mr. Rey
nolds to begin a civic suit for the dis
solution of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company,
designed to cat loose Its 336 subsidiary
ship lines, trolleys UneB, steam lines,
accumulated under one management
in what the Interstate Commerce Com
mission recently styled "one of the
most glaring Instances of maladminis
tration revealed in all the history of
Amerlacan railroading."
Basis of the Prosecution
This action followed the refusal of
the directors of the New Haven to
fulfill the agreement reached last
January for the voluntary dissolution
of the system. The directors balked
at legislation just enacted .Jby the
legislature of Massachusetts to permit
| this dissolution.
The President's letter to the Attor
! ney General follows.
"I have your letter of today. Inclos
ing a copy of your letter of July 9 to
J. H. Hustls. president of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail
road Company, which together dis
close the fallnre of the directors of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad Company to comply with
the terms of the settlement proposed
by them and accepted by us In the
| matter of their railroad holdings.
I Their financial decision In this mat
ter causes me the deepest surprise and
regret.
"Without Jastifteatlon."
"Their failure upon so slight a pre
text to carry out an agreement, de
liberately and solemnly entered Into,
and which was manifestly In the com
mon lnttrcst, is to me Inexplicable
and entiiely without Justification.
"Ton have been kind enough to keep
me fully informed of every step the
Department took In this matter and
the action-' of the department has
throughout met with my eittlre ap
proval. It wmp Just, reasonable, and
effldent. It should have resulted In
avoiding what fnust now be done.
"In the circumstances the course
you propose la the only one the gov
ernment can pursue. I therefore re
quest andydlrect that a proceeding in
equity be filed, seeking the dissolu
tion of the unlawful monopoly of
transportation facilities In New Eng-.
land now sought to be maintained by
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad Company, and that the
criminal aspects of the case be laid
before a grand Jury.
"With much regard, sincerty yours."

Solving the Low Cost of
. Buying -
\ ? ?
Everybody is talking about the high cost of living, and rack*
ing their brains for a solution.
?
That's easy. All you have to do is to. solve the "Low Cost
of Buying." Study carefully the Quality and the Price before
you part with your money, for the one is as essential as the other.
A feW pennies saved on each article used by the average family
would amount to a considerable sum in the run of a year. It re
duces the cost of living.
We have solved the "low cost of buying" from the manufac
turer, and YOU will solve it when you come to us, for we are
slicing off th? pennies for you which the manufacturer HAD to
slice off for us. Meet us face to face, and you will go home with
a smile.
