NEITHER TRUST HAS BEkN
DISSOLVED.
Neither the Standard Oil nor the
Tobacco trust—the two greatest
examples of the Sherman anti-trust
law-—has been actually dissolvetl to
meet the requirements of the statute
designed to destroy monopDlies, accor
ding to the views of Attorney General
McReynoIds.
Mr. McReynoIds it seems feels
inclined to make the Sherman
law effective if possible and if
it has not surficient force in it
to accomplish the disolution of a
trust, then he is in favor of
creating a law with sui’ficient
force to do so. There is little
doubt but that both of these
giant corporations had much to
do with naming the conditions
under which they were to disolve.
A great many thought the thing
a farce then, they have had but
little if any reason to change
their opinion since. However
what is the use, competition, has
long since been crashed out, and
those engaged in it driven in to
something else, or in to poverty,
and obscurity, while the world
has bent its back in humble
submission to their tyranical
yokes.
The world gets accustomed to
a thing, and then believes it
right. It is believed the devine
right of the trust to crush out
and drive out competition, and
thoughtful men look back and
wonder to what extremes these
monsters have gone. They have
not only inflicted upon the
industrial world the most dire
disasters, but what they have
done has created conditions from
which a brood of hell fiends have
been hatched, one the great
labor wars, are directly traceable
to their system of abusing the
rights of citizens, and trampling
without reason, or concern upon
the inalienable priveleges, of
humble private interess, to com
munities rights, and liberties.
THE LOBBYIST.
A lobbyist is a smoother propo
sition than the gum shod gentle
man masked, and with a dark
lantern seeking an entrance in
your bank vault. Talk of a diplo
mat, deplomacy is a lost art, when
compared with these cunning,
crafty, jugglers, who go to
Washington to intrigue and
counive to defeat wholesome
legislation, and to fasten upon
the people some system of
thievery, of public plunder.
Do you expect to see them
offering their bribes, you might
as well expect to see pestilence
stalking abroad at noon day.
The lobbyist, is the high priest
of insideus influence. There
are but few men, members of
Congress, that have sunk so low
in the moral scale that they
would dare approach, and confess
their mission. There are ways
to reach mens influences, that do
not belong to that class that
would paint pictures on the
clouds, or scream their mission
through monster, megaphones.
Lobbying is one of the finest
arts, that fattens and festeres
upon legitimate Statesmanship.
ric5c»iue»it vviisuti by imputation.
Of course Townsend has a mouth
much like some of his ancestors,
and no one will expect other of
him than to bray. What ever
Townsend may say it has been
fully demonstrated that Mr.
Wilson has the nerve to with
stand this infamous hord of
unscrupelous thieves who are
chafing because they see they
must take their shilock fingers
from the public till.
Dream Drift
The night-winds sob in the mountain
pines,
O’er the death of the storm-bound
day;
Awakening the spirit of wander
lust
That IS stubbornly called away.
The mist-wraiths flit o’er the rock-
ribbed hills
And the river weeps on to the sea;
The moon’s wan be«ms wake mystical
dreams
That have slumbered so long in me
The god of the night, with a despot’s
voice.
That *alls to a kindred soul
Lures me on with his magic song.
Where the cloud-built billows roll.
He croons his wild songs in a minor
strain.
While the tides sweep out from
the shore,
Strewing the sands of many lanas
With the wreckage from days of
yore.
Brain-drift and soul-drift and drift
of the tides—
Wreckage and seaweed and sand—
The subtle call of a voice that is still,
And the touch of an unseen hand.
The night-god “brews his magic wine
In caverns old and gray.
The witch-lights wave o’er his
secret cave
In the mountains hid away.
He peddles his wares by land and
sea
When the purple shadows fall;
By ga3-lit town and surf-beat rock.
Where the plaintive sea-birds call.
He softly calls to the children of
men.
Over the measureless miles,
I follow along with the motley
throng
To dreamlands’ mystic isles.
—Chart Pitt

I he Law of Love
(From the Metropolitan Magazine,)
Somewhere in the constitution of
earth’s atoms and circles is that which
makes for the evolution of what we
may call the law of love. It is not
merely that we have intimations of
such a law, or that it is implied by
this or that relation; we can clearly
see that ea^h divisive force, setting
man over a?ainst mar, setting the few
in authority over t^e many, iiltiinutel.v
destroys itself. It indeed seem„ to bt
written in the foundations of the world
that only that progress which love
procures is real. That which love does
and only that, n^^eds nov to be done
over. Even if the universe itself be
not a harmony—and such it is not yet
—there is none the less a harmony that
is universally working itself out. We
nnay say that the harmony is far from
its embodiment; that the universal
effort for union and freedom hab not
yet effectuated itself; that the law of
love has never been laid upon the
course of things; that no conception of
a common felicity has ever come to its
fulfilment. But neither, as I have al
ready pointed out. has success attended
any obvious or hidden divisive force.
Tyranny and slavery, the piling of class
upon class, the disunion of men, the
great lie upon which govenments have
built and bj; which masters have laid
the labor of the world under tribute—'
thpse have all been failures. It matters
not in what form they have come,
with what rituals or authority they
have been clothed, or w hat reverence
they have demanded; their end has
been both tragical and farcical. Some
thing there is at the core of things
which wars against whatever divides
man from man. The law of loyc is
indeed far from effectuation, but co
those who have eyes to see, the course
of the world bears this unbroken
witness; that despotism and divisions,
that whatever words not with love and
towards freedom, issues in the aevasta-
tion of both man and nature; and the
moments and the movements that are
nearest to love and freedom, these
bring the noblest grouping of men,
the bravest efforts, the widest happi
ness.

Famous Echoes.
Kansas City Star.
There are many places where re
markable echoes occur. On the banks
of the Rhine at Lurley, if the weather
be favorable, the report of a rifle or
the sound of a trumpet wiU be repeated
at diffferent periods and with various
degrees of strength from crag to crag
on opposite sides of the river alternately.
A similar effect is heard near a loch
in Scotland. There is a place in Glou
cestershire, Eng., which is said to echo
a sound 50 times. Near Glasgow there
is a spot where, if a person plays a
bar of music upon a bugle the notes
will be repeated by an echo but a third j
lower. Three echoes will be heard in
all, each lower than th'? preceding one.
The whispering galleries of St. Paul’s
of the Cathedral Church of Gloucester
and the observatory of Paris owe their
curious effects to the same laws of
reflection of sound.

Take Plenty of Time to
Eat.
There is a saving that “rapid eating
is slow suicide." If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result even
tually in serious illness unless correc
ted. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you have
a fullness of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain’s Tablets. Many severe
cases of stomach trouble and
constipasion have been cured hy the
use of these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect. Sold
by all dealers.

that very thing. The Michigan

How He Treated Her.
A certain osteopath was treating a
young -woman who had very weak
ankles and wrists. As she lived In a '
town quite a distance from his own
city, he was forced to leave the city
Saturday of each week and go to the
town in which the young woman
Hved, give her the treatment Sunday,
and return to the office Monday. A
friend once asked the osteopath how
he had arranged to give the young
woman the treatment for her ankles
and wrists when she lived at such a
distance, and the osteopath replied:
Oh, I go out and treat her week
ends.”—Uppincott’B Magazine.

BRUIN OBTAINS HIS SUPPER
Hunter Describes the Clever Work of
a Hungry Bear In Catching
a Salmon.
One year, tne berries bein^ (de
stroyed, ni:xny bears visited the rlrer
for flsh. I w.t?? walking ui; the river
Ehoro ono evojiivj^ about sunset watch
ing for a deer. Rounding a bend I
saw, perchDd upon a flat rock some
few feet frei;t shore, a large black
bear. I could uol teji at first what ho
was doing. Jle was vtooplng down
■v^’ith one pavv iu the water waving It
gently to ,ar>d fro. I watched closely
and saw, just beyond his reach, a
large male calmon, so nearly dead
that he could not swim. The bear
was using his paw to create an eddy
which would draw the fish within Ws
grasp. Slowly the salmon drifted to
ward the rock.
It was amusing to watch how care
fully the bear moved his paw so as
not to frighten his prey. At last the
fish came within reach, Bruin reached
over, gave it a* quick slap, seized It In
his jaws and leaped ashore The whole
performance tickled me so that I let
him go off, the salmon dangling in his
mouth, without even taking a shot at
him.—Charles Stuart Moody in the
Outing Magazine.
