Once, more that chronic offender, the Standard Oil, seems about §o be brought to book by the decisfon of the Tnited States circuit court of appeals commanding its dissolution as an illegal combine. The eourt appears to be convinced beyond a doubt of the guilt of the Btandard in its lawless suppression of competition, and the radical decree aimed to destroy this gi- gantic monopoly will, if finally effec- tive, be the most important achieve- ment in the government's warfare against monopolistic combines. The question at once arises, what becomes of the Standard if dissolved? The redistribution of the Northern Se- curities into its component parts was a simple operation, but thé realignment of the Standard, with all the inter- weavings of the years in which it has been successfully entrenched, {8 an in- tricate undertaking which would seem to tax the most consummate skill. A re- celvership would probably constitute the transition stage. But the threatened dissolution is the Standard’s own trouble, and it has thus far been adroit at sidestepping the pen- alties of the law. The supreme court has yet to pass finally on the decision of the cirguit court, and it may be safely assdmed that the Standard will leave no stone unturned to discover a loophole, as it 80 often has done before. Popular faith in the ultimate defeat of the monopoly i8 bulwarked by the fact that the present decree is unani- The absence of dissent will in- spire public confidence in the wisdom and justice of the .decision. The Resurrection at Cherry. The unexpected rescue of so many miners allve from the death pit at Cherry comes as a magnificent climax to the ohapters of self-secrifice and he- rofsm which from the first flare of flame attended the developments of that tragic story. The entire populace had been plunged into mourning; it was a community of desolation: when, from the very tomb, many of the dead have been restored to life, husbands to wives and fathers to children. Fiction, song and artists’ colors have attempted to render the pathos of such occasions as this, but the strong lines of truth as depicted in this masterful canvas are never fully duplicated ex- cept In the realm of fact. Here is a human experience such as no brush or pen can fully depict. Only the human come through personal experience to understand, can fathom the depth of woe in 8o many homes and the heights of joy to which they now are raised. The resurrection at Cherry is a lat- ter-day miracle, & light out of dark- ness, a cause for jubilation among the hearts of men in all the land at this thanksgiving time. In the fullness of gladness for those who have their loved ones thus marvelously restored to them, even those can share who sorrow unavailingly for their own. On the Trail of Pneumonia. While millionaires are arousing pop- ular acclaim over their financial con- tributions to the warfare against men- acing diseases, let us not overlook the actual progress made by the untiring sclentific investigator in his confilet with one of the oldest, most deadly and stubborn foes of man. Ppeumonia is a scourge which has long baffled ma- teria medica and annually swept many thousands into the grave. It is a mal- ady which has had to wear itself out or else wear out the patient. As the family physician usually says, “It's all in the nursing and the patient’s consti- tution.” Reports from authoritative sources that pneumonia bids fair to be con- quered under the latest treatment will therefore be received with gratification bordering on enthusiasm. Boston, where pneumonia has become the most deadly of allments, even outranking consumption, has been experimenting faithfully and successfully with the new vaccine treatment. This intro- duces into the blood a multiplication of the leucocytes which apparently only need a sufficlent army to rout the bacteria. Buch wholesale cures are reported that the medical authorities elsewhere are taking up the treatment, and the propaganda is being spread by the dis- tribution of free vaccine to all appli- cants. When confronted with the ap- palling records of pneumonia one hes tates to hail a new “‘cure” as a specific, but the vaccine treatment seems to have made promising advance and the results so far as demonstrated are fully as encouraging as those achieved against diphtheria in the early days of antitoxin. The Abuse of Langauge. Some daring things were uttered in the productions of one of our most pro- lific playwrights during his lifetime, but it remalned for his posthumous work to offer the most striking exam- ple of the saylng that “One nnot touch pitch and not be defiled The effrontery of the lines is in their terri- ble profanity, which is reported to have so shocked the first-night audi- ence that everybody gasped and some women fainted. But the succeeding performances drew the usual big erowds. The has become 80 bold in its mit suicide because of the arrival of a n baby, is sure to be reciprocated when the baby grows up.

Profanity on the stage is a reflection of profan- ity in publie. generation or two ago people were repelled every time they picked up one of the early English nov- | stantly a source of temptation. |has been a consistent record street, in the cars and public corridors, a constant stream of language much coarser and much more profane than exists in any of the classic early Eng- lish literature, which under the old or- der was not admitted to the fireside circle. The indecencies of speech heard in public places, in all cities, throughout the country, particularly from youth- ful lips, 1s one of the most flagrant evils of the age, and it {s a pity that the ge, which does not have to pan- der to such tastes, should lend itself to the propagation of so disgusting a habit. The Day of No Grouch. Thanksgiving day is so pecullarly an American institution, in its origin, sig- nificance and observance, that we, as a people, ought to approach it with a grateful and buoyant spirit, grateful because of all past mercies and boun- ties, and buoyant because of the near approach of the one day which is, or should be, essentially care-free. Ours is a nation of homes, and to most of us Thanksgiving is the vital home day. Cares of daily living per- plex the breadwinner and the bread- maker of the family, all the year round, and every day the children hear murmurs of discontent. Man that is born of woman is prone to be more or less of a grouch, and is entitled under the free-speech clause of the constitu- tion to alr his grievances. But when Thanksgiving eve comes, the burden of complaint should be tumbled from the shoulders much as Christian's pack was dropped in “Pil- grim’s Progress,” and the day itself should be for every family the day of no grouch. No matter how humble the fare, the Thanksgiving dinner should be partaken of with an abund- ance of that good humor which gives a relish to the plainest meal, not for- getting that ‘‘Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” Neglected Hampton Roads. President Taft's declaration of an intention to urge full development of the possibilities of Hampton Roads re- news attention to a conspicuous case of national neglect, for that wonderful estuary should long ago have been con- verted into its complete strength as possibly the greatest strategical naval base in the world. Hampton Roads has already blazed its name in American history, the never-to-be-forgotten engagement be- tween the Merrimac and Monitor be- ing only one of the many jmportant events of the civil war In those waters. Here subsequently President Lincoln met the emissaries of the confederate states in a peace conference, which had large bearing on our attitude concern- ing the proposed conquest of Mexico as well as on the readjustment of re- lations between the north and the south. With such a broad, deep channel, so magnificent a series of harbors, and commanding such a sweep of coast and such a volume of internal commerce, Hampton Roads ought more quickly to have been transformed into a safe and effective naval base for the operations of our fleet on the Atlantic seaboard. Now that Mr. Taft is so firmly com- mitted to the plan, we may look for the establishing of fortifications that will not only make the roads impreg- nable, but also guarantee absolute pro- tection to all vessels taking refuge in the Chesapeake and its tributaries, and to all the interests now approach- able by means of those thinly guarded waters. Indeed, it seems incredible that an opportunity and a need so di- rectly under the eye of the legislating body at Washington should have been 8o long overlooked. Gems of Misfortune. 1t it be true that the famous Hope diamond has gone to the bottom of the sea with its last possessor, then one more star of ill omen has been re- moved, For while many of the stories of bad luck aecompanying ownership of the gem undoubtedly were exag- gerated, still a host of misfortunes has always attended every precious stone of so prodigious a value. It is inevita- ble that such a jewel must be con- Even a tyro recognizes at first glance the possibilities of fortune and adventure for any man owning a gem whose money value Is & king’s ransom. Adroit manipulation of such a bait in the hands of an accomplished artist would excite the cupidity of elther sex, and it might buy the honor of many in all walks of life. The fascination exerted over the hu- man mind by sumptuous gems has been a stock-in-trade of the novelist gince the making of many books began. “The Arablan Nights'’ are full of stor- fes based on fabulous jewels. Wilkie Collins made superb use of the foible with hls wonderful “Moonstone.” Rob- ert Louls Stevenson gave the most modern rendering In his Inimitable “Rajah’s Diamond Always the trail of the jewel, in fiction, as in real life, of the downtall of man and woman tempted beyond endurance by the fire in the heart of the stone inflaming the human soul. Buch a career as that of the diamond narrated by Stevenson was that of the Hope stone. A throne tottered and a royal family was sundered because of it. Sterling business houses crumbled, their probity undermined by the treacherous allurement of the gem. An English lord let it sparkle in the presence of a concert hall beauty and els or plays, because of the coarse lan- guage, but in the present generation there is too commonly heard on every was undone. At last it came to a Spanish nabob, who fled with it over seas. And in the night the waters swallowed up nabob and diamond. Fi NOVEM™ &R 21 ting end! And how like that of the “Rajah’s Diamond,” which glittered a moment in the moonlight in the hands of Prince Florizel ere hé hurled it from the parapet into the stream, termina- ting forever a career of infamy. “God help me,” cried the prince, “I have slain a cantatrice!” Just ‘what one might have uttered over the closing tragedy of the Hope diamond. The Seat of Control. The meeting of railway commission- ers just closed in Washington, seems to have reopened the controversy that was originally precipitdted when the interstate commerce law was first pro- posed as to where the seat of control should be as between the states and the federal government. The claims of the varfous states to exclusive au- thority over the common carriers doing business within their limits were set up against the assertion by congress of superior jurisdiction over all carriers engaged in interstate traffic. The fact that every rallroad and transportation company, with insignificant exceptions, haul passengers and freight both with- in state lines and across state lines over the same tracks and roadbéd and with the same equipment and motive power, makes it practically impossible to draw the line sharply at the bound- arfes of each state. Yet it is self-evi- dent that there are railway problems which are purely local in their nature as distinguished from problems which are wholly interstate, and still others that have both interstate and Intra- state aspects. The rallroads used to endeavor to combat regulation by congress by tak- ing refuge behind the rights of the states, but more lately they have dis- covered that the varying requirements of forty-six different legislatures are more complex and complicative than those of a single federal authority. Our dual form of government, however, is a reality, and it Is useless to figure cn making either federal or state control exclusive. The desirable relation would be such co-operative interworking be- tween state and federal commissions as would bring about uniformity of prac- tice and avold unnecessary conflicts. As The Bee has more than once pointed out, the chief weakness of the present organization of the Interstate Commerce commission lies in its dis- tance from the source of complaints and the unavoidable delays in redress of grievances. With a subcommission assigned to each separate traffic divis- ion, from which appeals would lie to a higher tribunal, the federal and state authorities would be brought much closer together and the shipper would have as prompt and effective relief in cases involving interstate traffic as he can have in cases within state jurisdic- tion, Neither the federal nor the state commissfons can crowd the other out while there is work for each to do be- yond the other’s authority. Education & Human Problem. In his annual report as president of Columbia university Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler makes a plea for the treat- ment of education as a distinctively human problem by entering a vigorous protest against the prevailing tendency to subordinate our schools and col- leges to the mechanical element. It is worth while quoting President Butler’s exact words: It is vitally important always and every- where to be on guard against the domina- ton of the mechanical, the bookkeeping, and the accounting element in education. Nothing 1s easier than to permit students | and teachers alike to gain the impression | that before obtaining a degree or an aca- | demic honor cne has only to complete so many subjects, to attend so many hours, or to win so many points. Machinery for measurement and record s necessary, no doubt, but It is often more necessary that this machinery be not allowed to dominate the teaching or to gain control of the imegination of the teacher and the taught. There are those now busily instructing the public who seem to belleve that it would be valuable to know the relative kilowatt power of a course in Latin prose composi- tlon and one in modern history. They dis- play a nervous anxiety to measure the in- stitutional voltage and to know the relative ccst per capita of teaching Greek and anthropology. They appear to think that it only they can have access to treasurer's reports and registrar's statistics and re- arrange them in some new and occult fash- fon, like men on a chess board, higher education will at once be reformed and rise to new planes of achlievement, These ideas, he insists, are delusions of the mechanically-minded which shut out from sane contemplation the des- perately human problem of education, He finsists, further, that there is only one fundamental problem in higher ed- ucation, and teacher. The instructor who takes a class through successive curriculum as he would train dumb animals to climb a ladder would not be recognized by him as a teacher in any true sense. | What is needed two classes of |educators, one with qualities of sym- {pathy, patlence and unselfish devotion with which they will enter into the |lives and hopes of thelr students and help them in their aspirations for self- |development, and another set of teach- |ers imbued with a particular zeal for knowledge and possessed of an especial skill in seeking it, which carries them to the frontlers of the already known, draWing after them little groups of earnest students eager to share with them the delights of discovery.

The president has taken the people Into his confidence in a way that has not only astonished the politicians and legislators, but confounded them. In these pronmounce- ments there has been an artlessness that has won a great body of the oitizens to the support of his views. In these discussions there has been no dramatic surprises, such as marked the outgivings of his predeces- sor. His ideas and suggestions have besn clothed in language that is calm, temperate and conservative. You may hunt in vain for epithets, phrases, as new contributions to the common speech, or denunclation of those holding opposing views. Yet it is a large question whether there is in his words less strength, or less purpose, or less de- termination to pursue the end desired. Reno Outrn Sioux Falls. Boston Transeript.
