THE STEEL TRUST Not many years ago our Teutonic brethren who found the machinations of the German Sugar and Coffee trusts obnoxious to their tastes, determined on a course which we term "taking the bull by the horns." They enlisted the services of the press (we will not say that the press enlisted the services of the people.) On a certain day the people refrained from the use of aromatic coffee and meliflous sugar. We are told that this had the desired effect ofC bringing the trusts to terms. Indeed, we are forcibly reminded of our own ancestors ot fame, those matrons of the revolutionary times who tabooed the use of fragrant tea after the tax of the parent country of Britain had been placed upon it. These measures were more or less effective. Now a movement is on foot to give battle to the Steel Trust. We all have our opinion of that very formidable business combination. But just what can be accomplished is particularly hard to get at. If we contribute ten cents to what appears to be a very serious proposition to defeat the U. S. Steel company it is at least true that the U. S. Stee! company will devise a new way to get another dime from us to balance it, and there you are! No less an authority than Mr. Herfwrt Snpnrcr has nninted nut. that, the evils which we fight against in those who are in control, bave their ultimate root in those who are hurt by them. In other words, if the Steel Trust is doing us a hurtit is our own fault. We conceive that 'one very effective remedy which has failed up to this point from lack of support by the people, is honesty in government. By this we do not mean a "reform" a turning out of dishonest officials by those of Indifferent value we do mean an honest interest along intelligent lines taken- by men in all branches of our government. A simple recognizance of what our real condition is. whether in matters of local franchises or votes for congressmen and far better, work at the nominating prima ries would, in the long run, have a better and more lasting effect than a war fund to fight the trusts which might even equal the resources of the Standard. While we continue to act the sloven about matters of franchises in our own town, elect men because of their good fellowship or, what is Just as bad, to put up men on "reform" tickets who are dominated by foolishness and a reverence for vested interests, let us content ourselves by subscribing a dime to the cause, in the hope that it wtll give us absolution for our other crimes of indifference and ignorance. In the interim let us sleep on and repeat with the accomplished gentleman, manufacturer of rimes, on the Indianapolis News: Oh, let me pin & badge High on my coat lapel, Announcing to the trusts At last that I rebel. I want a badge for wife. I also want three more For cook, and maid, and one For baby's pinafore. Send one for Dobbin's crib, I'll nail it to his stall; No corn, no hay I'll buy. And chop feed none at all. 111 tie to Towser's tail He's wheezy, old and f at The badge that shall proclaim No meat for him that's flat! . and I shall pin a badge Upon the Icebox, and Another on the coal house door Against the trust's demand.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

Mr. Jerome. From the New York Sun. There are few men probably to whom the coming of the new year was more welcome than to the Hon. William Travers Jerome, for whom it marked the close of eight years of public service as district attorney of this county. Of the permanent value of these services to the people of this community the present is manifestly not the time to speak. Passion and prejudice have done much to obscure accurate public appraisal of the value of Mr. Jerome's recent years. Already however, those for whose opinion Mr. Jerome could rightly care have come to be certain that in all his public acts he had the approval of his own conscience and followed a course consistent with his own conception of public duty. By those for whom expediency and personal interest are controlling motives Mr. Jerome is now and perhaps always will be held to have missed a great chance. By others who view the great questions of his administration from a position not his, he is and possibly may long be held to have made grave mistakes; yet we believe that he will at no distant time be recognized generally as a man who did what he conceived to be his duty consistently, bravely and with no regard for the effect of his course upon that career which his friends and his critics alike had prepared for him. Corporal Tanner and Lee. From the Brooklyn Eagle. We are glad to note that Corporal James Tanner has put what-might-have-been-nis-feet down on the agitation against the decision of the state of Virginia to erect a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in the national Capitol. Corporal Tanner used to say In stump speeches in Brooklyn, "I'm a republican from the crown of my head, as far down as I go." We don't imagine he has changed much. He's as loyal to the old flag, and the Grand Army, and the grand old party as ever. But, unlike some of his fellow-veterans, he is gifted with a sense of humor, a sense of historical perspective, or some other saving sense that is worth having. Thousands of British tories bitterly protested against a statue of Oliver Cromwell, for many, many years. That was to be expected of Englishmen. Americans ought to be broader and more human in their views of things. Robert E. Lee, concededly a great soldier, and concededly an upright man in all the relations of life, is dear to Virginia. If what he believed to be patriotism was treason, and that was decided by the God of Battles, he is still a figure in history, at once prominent, lovable and impressive. Spencer Trask. From the New York Times. New York can ill afford to lose Spencer Trask. He was an influential and useful citizen, associated with many large enterprises, the initiator of many movements for the public good, an energetic, broad-minded, kindhearted man, whose interests were greatly varied. He ignored, generally, the favorite routine of public-spirited men of wealth. Though he belonged, inevitably, to many of the larger clubs, he rarely entered their doors, except on special occasions. He was not a stockholder of the opera or a supporter of fashionable amusements. In the time he could spare from his work as a financier he found for himself innumerable outlets for his energy and enthusiasm. He was the principal founder of the National Arts Club, and by his influence and patient labor had upbuilt and established that society of men and women connected with the arts and crafts, and some of its associated organizations, because he firmly believed in its value as a stimulus to popular culture. Mum. From the Milwaukee Free Press. Oddly enough none of the muck-raking magazines enlightened the public as to the great burden they are to the postal service. Showing Them. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Collector Lioeb says people are becoming more honest. Mr. Loeb has done what he could to show them how. Proof. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Kansas railroad commission has compelled the Pullman company to reduce its rates about 50 cents a berth. Evidently there's nothing the matter with Kansas. Lets the Other Fellows Worry. From the Somerville Journal. Theoretically, the man who is in debt worries terribly over it. Practically, he seldom does. 7 WINKLES (By Philander Johnson) The Cheerful View.

All ELECTION HELD Cemetery Association Selects Howard Dill as Its Secretary. A SON SUCCEEDS FATHER The Richmond Cemetery association met yesterday afternoon and reelected Howard Dill to the board of directors and also elected him secretary of the association. W. K. Bradbury was elected superintendent and treasurer of the association to succeed his father, W. 11. Bradbury, and he was also made a member of the board of directors. The terms of the president, J. W. Newman and E. G. Hill, J. W. Newman and W. C. Ferguson of the board of directors have not yet expired. The improvement of the Country club grounds, which are owned by the cemetery association and club house, will be made this spring and will be of an elaborate nature. The grounds have been leased by the club for ten years. A survey has been made of the grounds by a landscape gardening firm of Chicago and the plans for the improvements with the view of enlarging the Earlham cemetery will be submitted within a few weeks, although the association will not convert the grounds into a cemetery until the lease expires. Maligning Mother. Mrs. Brennan's ten children had gathered at the old home for the first time in years. She surveyed the group proudly. From Captain Tom of thirtyfive to Mary of eleven she believed they were equally dear to her. "Mother loves all of us," said little Mary meditatively, "but she loves Tom best because he's oldest." Mrs. Brennan protested and appealed to her second son. "Dick, you grew up with Tom and can judge better than Mary. Did 1 ever treat him better than you?" "Only in one way, mother," said the big fellow, a twinkle in his eye. "On cold nights you used to come in and pull the cover off me on to Tom." Youth's Companion. MASONIC CALENDAR.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye ONLY A SECTION HAND. A few days ago Frank Angelleta died the hero's death. Section hand? A hero? Yes, and he was an Italian only a year over from the old country and just twenty-one. It was ou the Panhandle railroad, near Steubenville, O. The young man was walking the track when he noted a little schoolgirl in danger of being run down on another track by a freight train. By shouting and gestures he induced the girl to get off ihe track just in time to save her. But So intent was Angelleta in saving the girl that a passenger train unnoticed bore down upon him and crushed out his life. That is one story of heroism In our commou life, everyday heroism. Here Is another: Not long ago a Mexican section hand on the Santa Fe railroad in New Mexico saved the lives of hundreds of passengers on a limited train. The section iueu had been repairing the track. :uid nil was supposed to be right. The heavy fain was bearing down on the section gang when suddenly a little bent Mexicau discovered something wrong with a rail. He saw that If the rail was not fixed the train would be wrecked. He jumped to the place and spiked it. And Before the little old man could get awn j- the engine struck him and threw his poor, mashed body into the ditch. Inside the train men lolled and read and smoked and women talked to one another, all unconscious of their quick deliverance. And the little old Mexican died in the ditch, One of these section hands was fresh from the vineyard slopes of southern Italy; the other had a wife and children in old Mexico, aud they were heroes, both. Surely. And if you have ever looked disdainfully on a "dago" or classed all "greasers" as cutthronts be ashamed of yourself and of your iutolerance of race. Any of us should be proud to claim kinship with these so called "common men" (there are no common men lu the eyes of the Father) aa white on the inside as you or the president of this country. "God hath made of one blood ail the nations of the earth." and into the sou of every people be has put the godlike. Is it not so? t he Parthenon. The destruction of that famous building the Farthenon took place In 1GS7 during the siege of Athens by the Venetians. The Turks held the city, and the Parthenon was used for a powder magazine. One day during the conflict a Venetian bombshell dropped into the building, and the explo sion followed which badly shattered the structure. From that date the re nowned building has stood roofless and exposed to all the inclemencies of the weather. For more than 2,000 years the temple stood entire, and in its ruins is the architectural wonder of the world. New York American. Peculiar Taxation In Holland. Some of the most peculiar of taxations recorded are to be found In the archives of Holland. In 1791. for Instance, there was in existence a tax imposed on all passengers traveling iD Holland. In 1S74 a duty of 2 shillings was levied on each person who entered a tavern before noon, on those who en tered a place of entertainment, on marriages and deaths and on many other things. If a person was buried out of the district to which he belonged the tax was payable twice over. The Usual Way. "Do you keep servants?" "No. We are like all other house keepers In that respect. We hire serv ants, but do cot succeed In keepinf them. Houston Post.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Tcrhune

Jean Roland and Manon Philioson iCopynsbt. it Autbor. "He loved me for my devotion. I i loved him for the services I had ren- j iered hiin." Thus in her prison cell in 1703. just before she was led forth to execution, wrote the most celebrated woman of her day. She was describing her engagement and marriage to a man who was even then about to kill himself for love of her. This man was Jean Roland, a refugee from the alleged "justice" of France's reign of terror. Manon I'hilipon came of an old. impoverished French family. As a girl she had shown promise of the literary and political genius by which she was one day to bend a nation to her will and to help change the history of the world. Slut was so beautiful and accomplished that, poor as she was. she did not lack suitors. Yet she rejected every offer of marriage. In 1774, when she was 20, she chanced to meet Roland, a grave, scholarly man of 4o. From the first he was attracted to her. She cared little for him; but a friendship sprang up, based on mutual interests. For nearly five years this Platonic friendship endured. Then, to the girl's surprise. Roland, on the eve of his departure upon a journey to Italy, kissed her. This opened her eyes to his real feelings and led her. little by little, to learn to love him. He asked her to Between Love and a Convent. be his wife. She told him frankly that she was very poor and bade him ask her father's consent. Her father refused, in a needlessly brutal man ner. This refusal probably served to sweep away Manon's last doubts as to her love for Roland. For, unable to marry him, she went into retirement at a convent. There she stayed for months. Roland at last found her and succeeded in wringing from her father a reluctant consent to the match. The wedding took place February 4, 1779. For the "first few years after their marriage Mme. Roland looked upon her husband as a heaven-gifted genius. Then she gradually discovered she had ten times his brains and courage. But, instead of despising him. she set herself to using all her wondrous talents for the improvement of her husband's fortunes, with the result that her genius raised him at last to the post of minister of the interior. Madame Roland, failing in an effort to secure a place for herself and her husband in the French peerage, avenged herself by indulging in visionary dreams of freeing France from royal tyranny and of making It a fr?e country like our own. She and her husband aired these views in print until the French people were thoroughly aroused. This pair of middle-aged lovers did more than anyone else to bring about the French revolution. The people eagerly read and believed their pamphlets. Mme. Roland's beauty and wit made her the most popular as well as the most influential woman in France. The seeds of revolt sowed by her were destined within a very few years to blossom forth into that terrible, if needful, growth, the French revolution. The Rolands wanted France to be free. They wanted King Louis XVI. dethroned. They demanded an independent, self-governing nation. They clamored for a revolution. They got all they aBked. But, as in the story of "Frankenstein," the monster they created destroyed them. It was a pretty, bloodless, philosophical, "kid glove" revolution that they had planned, and a pure republic like those of ancient Greece and Rome, guided by gentle, high-souled men. When the French revolution at last burst forth the Rolands were overjoyed. But their joy quickly turned to horror. Instead of the ideal, calm, logical change of government that they had both looked forward to. murder, graft, wholesale barbarities marked every step of the uprising. France swam to freedom in the blood of its butchered children. The king was not only dethroned but beheaded as well. Because the Rolands begged for moderation they and their followers were charged with treason against the new, bloodstained republic. Roland fled in time to avoid capture. But Mme. Roland was arrested and thrown into prison. Their adherents were scattered or slain. In her cell, in the fall of 1793, Mme. Roland wrote her famous "Memoirs." In the earlier pages of this book she says: "Never can history paint these dreadful times, nor the monsters that fill them with their barbarities. . . . Oh. my . , friends! May kind The End of a f StranBe Career. tfae UnWed the only asylum of freedom!" On Nov. 8. 1793. after a farcical trial, Mme. Roland was led forth to be beheaded. On the way to the scaffold her eye fell upon a big clay image of Liberty. She exclaimed, bitterly: "O. Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!" (Or. according to some who heard her: "O, Liberty, how they have fooled you!") Her husband, in the safe biding place where he was awaiting her release, read of Mme. Roland's death. He made no outcry, but wrote a fierce denunciation of her "murderers." This paper he pinned on his breast. Then, unable to endure life without the wife he adored, the stricken old man drew bis sword and drove the blade through bis heart.

WORKED WITH TRUST COMPANY IN GOTHAM. Washington. Jan. 4. Former Unit ed States Treasurer J. N. Huston, with offices in New York city; Samuel Graham, of Montreal, Canada; Harvey M. Lewis and Everett Dufour, of this city, were yesterday indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of conspiracy and of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Huston formerly lived at Connersville, Indiana. The indictment is the result of Huston's connection with the National Trust company. The other men indicted are connected with the same concern. Outcome of a Raid. The presentments were the outcome of a raid on the offices of the National Trust company here by post office Inspectors last September. The company's scheme for guaranty of stock of other companies on the basis of a commission of 1 percent of the stock guaranteed was worked In connection with the National Trust company, of Delaware, which, according to the inspectors, was organized with H.OOO.Ouu capital. The Washington concern's original capitalization had been increased to $500,000. Lewis is said to bave figured conspicuously as an official of both companies. The inspectors say they failed to find any material funds to justify the guaranty claims. J. N. Huston was formerly in the banking business at Connersville. In diana. He served as a member of the Indiana legislature in both houses. He was apiointed United States treasurer by President Harrison after serving as chairman of the Indiana repub lican state committee. A DOE'S STRATAGEM. Threw the Dogs Off tha Scent and Saved Her Fawn. The following anecdote is related by M. X. Raspail. It is worthy of comIarlson with the most remarkable of Instances of the same kind: The author on day perceived a doe in full flight before two dogs In the Aigle woods that form a part of the forest of Chantilly. The doe was accompanied by a very young fawn, which appeared quite exhaused and ready to drop. The mother, doubtless well aware of this, slackened her pace and presently stopped close to some thick bramble bushes. She remained some time there with lowered head as if awaiting the onset of her pursuers. Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her. and with a butt of the head she tossed her fawn right into the middle of the thicket. Then, first advancing gently as If to make sure it was well hidden, she soon set off by rapid bounds In front of the dogs. The latter barking close upon her heels, she made a , sudden bend and thus drew them far l from the spot where this incident oc curred. The bowling of the dogs became fainter and fainter, the valiant animal having doubtless led them two kilometers away into the Canardiere peat bogs, where the dogs often lose the scent. In fact. later they were seen returning to the village in an exhausted condition, while the intelligent mother doubtless returned to the bushes to find the little fawn she had so cleverly bidden and placed In safety. Vulgarisation Sclentifique. When Matches Ware Introduced. The Atlas, a London newspaper, published on Jan. 10. 1S30. the following paragraph under the head of "Instantaneous Light:" -Among the different methods invented for obtaining light Instantaneously ought certainly to be recorded that of Mr. Walker, chemist Stockton-on-Tees. He supplies the purchaser with prepared matches, which are put Into boxes, but are not liable to change in the atmosphere, and also with a piece of fine glass paper folded in two. Even a strong blow will not Inflame the matches, because of the softness of the wood underneath, or does rubbing upon wood or any common substance produce any effect except that of spoiling the match. But when one is pinched between the folds of the glass paper and suddenly drawn out it Is instantly Inflamed. Mr. Walker does not make them for extensive sale, but only to supply the small demand in his own neighborhood.''.
