THE STANDARD OIL DE CISION. One of the most far-reachim decisions ever handed down i that of the United States Su preme Court, dissolving th« Standard Oil Co. It it estimate* ; that 1200 holding companies, having more than 8,000 sutsidi ary concerns and representing $10,000,000,000 of capital, wili be directly affected. The busi nesT of the trust must be restorec to the subsidiary compainies. I is generally believed that th» opinion means that the Ameri can Tobacco Co, which th government is suing, will bi similarly dissolved. The dissolution of the Standard Oil Company was based on two legal reasons: First, that it is combination in restraint of trade under the first section of the Sherman act. Second, that because of its activities as a combination it has become a monopoly in restraint of trade under the second section of the Sherman act. The decision was handed down by Chief Justice White and was consumed in by the entire court. Justice Harlan, however, dis sented from one point in the ruling. The Chief Justice held that Standard Oil had been guilty of "unreasonable" re restraint of trade', and Justice Harlan contends that if there n any such thing as a reasonable "restrait of trade, it will leave corporations a loophole in the future. The Standard Oil case really involved no question of law bui only one of fact and practice. Yet the Sherman anti-trust - law continues to be treated as ex perimental. Uninfluential viola tors of the laws are taken bsfore the grand jury and proceeded with us as in all other criminal cases. Chief Justice White de clares that the Sherman law goes no further than the common law and it is said that business which cannot conform to the common law has outlawed itself". If the government will prosecute and the iudge enforces the law, the trusts will conform to it. The New York World says in this connection: "Guilt is personal." If the United States government will sternly hold to that principle and apply it to all violations of the Sherman act, Big Business will soon be as active in finding ways to respect the law asjt has here to fore been in finding ways to evade the law. Even a John Rockefeller would rather adjust his commercial practices to the provisions of the Sherman act than go to jail. The effect of the decision is to "loosen the strangle-hold" of the great trusts upon the law and the people's rights, as the Hon. Woodrow WiJson would phrase A Burglar's Awtul Deed may not paralyze a home so completely as a mother's long illness. But Dr. King's New Life Pills are a splendid remedy for women. "The\ gave me wonderful benefit in constipation and female trouble," wrote Mrs. C. M Dunlap. of Leadill, Tenn, If ailing, Try them. 25e at C. M. Shuford, oser and Lutz, and Grimes Drug store, TAFT A MAN WITHOUT A PARTY. It is a pleasure to see a North i Carolina man forging to the •'ront as a leader in Congress. Claude Kitchin is proving as ible a man as any member of the ways and means committee >f the House. He is a keen ana yzer. In bis masterly speech on Canadian reciprocity, he said: "The administration of .Presc ient Taft will stand out in the future in unique solitude. It it ■he first in the history of the Government that has l>een forced, h the~ exercise of the power jriven the President by the Con .titution, to convene on extraor linary occasion two sessions 01 Jongress in one term.'' And again this strange fact: "It is. the first time in oui .listory that a President has fell .he necessity of calling an extra ;ession when the popular brancr »f the government was tnt lands of an adverse party. Taft has alienated the Insur gent Kepublicans by his aid to ;he Payne-Aldrich tariff; he ha? tfienated the Standpatters by lis advocacy of reciprocity. The American Protective Tarifl league is now conducting an tctive campaign to prevent Taft's renomination. Taft is al nost as party-less as President Cleveland came to be. THE SENATORIAL RACE. Tl:e Charlotte Chronicle has an editorial upon the senatorial situation. It predicts -hat Avcock will be in the ract ind will draw more strengtl rom Kitchin than from Sim nons, rather a contrary view t( vhat has been said before. I •xpresses deep regret that "Chief Justice Walter Clark was lot content to continue adorning :he bench," and intimates that 19 will have to resign if he runs The Democrat has seen it said in ;he papers, however, that he vill not have to resign, though le ought to. While the Chronicle gives its illegiance to Senator Simmons, levertheless it asks him to deny certain rumors that are in circu lation. It says: These rumora are that Senator Simmons is interested * ith Sena tor Lorimer in some big land deals in eastern North Carolina. Fur .her, that he is interested with Lorimer in some western land leals. It must be understood that The Chronicle is making no charges. It is but giving to Senator Simmons and his sup porters news of what is being slid about the Senator in this State. THE CENTRAL HIGHWAY. Hickory is on the line of the State Central Highway which is to run from Morehead to Mur phy. It will mean material ad vantage to this town and we ought to push it along. Chairman H. B. Varner, of che Highway organization, is jlauning for a 4th of July cele oration in every town along the line, "so that," he says, instead )f having the old fashioned way )f celebrating the 4th., let's make t a sane 4th of July, celebrating the declaration of independence from bad roads for better things in North Carolina." The plan now being considered is to have men with teams, took and machinery, all along the line of the road, to volunteer their services for a solid week begin ning at 7 o'clock on the morning of July sth and giving six days of volunteer w.rk to the building of this great central highway. The trustees of the highway will pass through Hickory on the morning of June 9th, and ddbbt less an interesting program will be arranged for that time. The Democrat contained a no tice last week of the organization of the Kenwood Falls laundry on Snow Creek to be run by Rev. P. C. Henry, Its advertisement is appearing in this paper. The aim is to handle family laundry and the Democrat commends the enterprise to the consideration of the people of this section.

Sold by druggists everywhere and in Hickory by Moser & Lutz. an able board. It was a pleasure to meet with several members of the Board of Agriculture here last week. Messrs. Scott, Bledsoe. McCal lum and our able State chemist stopped over with W. J. Shuford, another member of the board. These are all men of large calibre, as are the other members of the board, and they are a set of men of whom the state may well be proud. The board is doing a great deal for the improvement of the farmer, too. They are not politicians but men who know farming and the needs of the farmer. We are printing elsewhere an interview with the State chemist, which gives ono some slight idea of the State test farms. Of these we hope the farmers of this section will avail themselves both by visiting the farms and by reading the agricultural bulletins telling of the experiments there. THE TOMATO CLUB. A movement amongst the girls on the farms of the South, called the Tomato Club Movement is glining headway. It is the com panion movement to that of the Boys' Corn Club. It contem plates raising vegetables and canning them for the market, a varv profitable source of income. Tne idea originated with an Aiken, S. C., county girl, Miss Marie S. Cromer and has been very successful there. It is des tined to spread. We are more than usually in cerested in the movement be cause Hickory is the manufact aring home of one of the best canning outfits in the country, ind for which there is a growing demand all the time —that of the Home Canner Co. The Tomatc Club girls will find it very use ful. Saw the Noisy Suffragettes. Mrs. Beard Writes ot Greal .Gathering to Celebrate King James Version. The following letter of Mrs. Beard, written to Miss Josie Per son. is one of the best she haf ever sent home: 1 Cockspur St April 24, 1911. My dear Josie, You ask for a de tailed description of some of th« things lam seeing. Well, ] don't think 1 can make a bettei beginning than to tell you about the Ter-Centenary of the author ized version of the Bible. This celebration was held in the Albert Hall. In the first place, it was worth going there to se the crowd, this immense buildirfi building being filled in ever> part. * A concert of thirty min utes duration was given by the Royal Choral Choir. The meet >ng began with the speech o1 Lord Northampton, the chair man. Among other things h said they gave a special welcome co the American ambassadoi [cheers] during whose stay here the blessed word "peace" woulc be written large across the friendly relations between the two English speaking nations. [Cheers.] Then followed speeches by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Mr. Asquith, Prime Minister, and our ambassador. Mr. Asquith >fave a glowing tribute to our country. Throughout the meet ing there were frequent allusions to the warm feeling existing be tween England and the United States. Mr. Taft's appeal for settling by arbitration disputes between these two countries ha« made a deep impression among the English. When our ambas sador read a short message from Mr. Taft the applause continued until Lord Northampton motion ed for silence; tie then re quested the audience to stand and to express by applauding for one minute their thanks to Mr. Taft for his message. Such an applause followed as to make me feel proud of my president and of my country. One untimely interruption, however, occurred. Mr. Asquith, when introduced, wag greeted by warm applause. He began to speak but had got no further than, "I am here as a layman," Is thtre anything in all this world that is of more importance to you than good digestion? Food must be eat en to sustain life and must be digested and converted into blood. When the digestion fails the whole body suffers. Chambeilain's Tablets area rational and reliable cure few indigestion. They increase * the flow of the bile, purify the blood, strengthen the stom ach, and tone up the whole digestive .apparatus to a natural and healthy ac- j tfon. For sale by all dealers. when a wave of hisses and c ft roans swept through the buna-: in*. The reason was soon ap-; i parent; the sufifragetts had sua- -J pended from one of the upper tiers, two of their banners, and j the audience was expressing bv hisses and groans their indigna tion and disgust at Mr. Asquith : being so interrupted. .Soon 1 shouts were heard of, run them down," "Cut them down, J "For shame," and through it all i the voice of Lord Northampton saying earnestly over and over, 1 "Let me appeal to you to keep order." On the banner opposite me were these words: "Vote to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed be free.' ■ I now quote from the Daily Tele graph: "One banner was prompt ly hauled down by a steward, but the distruction of the other flag did not prove to be quite so . easy a matter. The efforts of a group of stewards to snatch the objectionable emblem were stout-, iy resisted by the lady occupant* of the box, all of Whom were in evening dress, but in the end weight of numbers and superior muscular strength carried the day and the flag was borne away amid cheers. ' Only then was the Prime Minister able to proceed with ftis speech." I don't think that any one present at that celebration can .ever forget its beauty and solera ni y. . . . An interesting excursion is to Hampstead Heath and Highgate The most interesting staircase 1 ever saw is Li Highgate in what is known as Cromwell's House. This house was built bv Crom well for his daughter. On eat h newel of the staircase, and there 1 are eight or nine newels, is a beautifully carved figure of one of Cromwell's soldiers, some with guns, some with shields, some with drums, one doffing hie hat, etc. In. the Hampstead church is a bust of Keats, not only placed there by Americans, but executed by Miss Anne Whitney, of Bos ton. In the Highgate cemeterj I stood at George Elliott's grave ind read this tribute of her coun try: - Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence. The Highgate Catacombs are interesting: in the old Egyptian style and with cypresses in the , surrounding grounds. But these are not all the interesting things to be seen in Highgate: last, but not least, is the stone enclosed with an iron railing and with a lamp suspended above. On this stone i 3: Sir Richard Whittington. j Thrice Lord Mayor of London. 1397 —Richard II 1406—Henry IV 1420—Henry V Sheriff in 1393. We are told that the Thrice , Lotd Mayor rested on this stone as he left London and that here , he heard the bells calling him to return—a story which, of course, ' re fully believe. On April Ist , saw the boat race, at Hanmer , smith, between Oxford and Cambridge. I believe it was the , argest crowd I ever saw, both , sides of the Thames being lined with faces as far as the eye . could reach. It was an exciting , time. Probably vou know that Oxford won by three boat ' lengths, making them seven ahead in a record of about sixty , years. The manner of sitting i and of rowing is very different with the two crews, the Cam , bridge crew rowing as if every ; posture and every stroke was , taken according to rule, while I Oxford seemed to row with might and main, simply to get there —which it did. Rowing, foot-ball, cricket, play a large part in the life of the English. Tk > suffragetfc 8 are stirring up things over here. They took the position that unless allowed the vote they would not be count ed in the census. The evening of the census taking many stayed out all night to avoid being re gistered, Several women of title have espoused the cause, though I rather think that most of the recruits are from the mid die classes. They have caused so much disturbance in the House of Commons that no women are admitted there, and it is said that no woman is allowed to ap proach Mr. Asquith on the street. A few days ago I read a notice in the paper that the Queen and' the two princes would visit South Kensington and be received by the mayor at Mary St. Abbott's How's This?

An immence crowd had assem bled. Across the street was sus pended a banner with "Welcome toojr Queen." Many figs hung from upper windows. Where I stood I counted six United State flags: three large ones and thrae , small ones. As the Queen rode by she nooded to right and left, and the little princes lepeatedly touched their hats. Priace George reminded me a good deal of William Councill. lam now in Tunbridge Wells, resting after my trip to Paris. A young lady here took me out last Monday to Groombridge. a village three or four miles dis tant. There I saw a most quaint residence. It was fortnely a fort and the moat around it is still filled with water. An old lady, Miss Saint, a member of the English gentry, lives there and spends her time doing good among the poor. The village, the chapel, and surrounding county belong to her. In the chapel are windows and tables to members of the family, some of them dating back several hun dred years. With primroses and cowslips growing along the lanes, peacocks strutting about the grounds, and rooks cawing among the trees, it was just tht kind of old English home that we so often read about. This same young lady invited me the next day to afternoon tea ind lin turn invited her yes terday, and smiled to myself tc . think that I was acting as if 1 had been accustomed all my life to afternoon teas! I think the prayer book ought to have a thanksgiving for sun shine. It takes four months of London fog and smoke to realize what a glorious thing is sunshine and how beautifully the stars and the moonlight are. Tunbridge Wells is a beautiful country town about thirty miles irom London. It has a fine common of 265 acres, and on itt ■summit is a well kept, promenade which affords a fim view of the town and surrounding country. It is in Kent, which is call d the garden spot of Eng , iand. Mr. Astor's home is a few miles distant. He has a • nandsome town house overlook ing St. James Park, London. Well, I've gone into detail as ; /ou requested, have done so at . the risk of being tiresome, but . these homely things I'ye written I tbout are, to me interesting, ind I hope will be so to you. With love, AUNTIE. Saved Child From Death. "After our child had suffered from ; severe bronchial trouble for a year." wrote G. T.
