Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheapen
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
Investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal-
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it is
my opinion there should be a depart-
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an Interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac-
countant. There should be a hoard
of examiners in each state to look aft-
er these corporations just as our na-
tional hanks are watched by the na-
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
amine the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

Public
Opinion
Should
Compel
Uniform
Laws
By CHARI.ES E. PAKK
A "telephone snipe" is a man who
habitually uses some other man's
telephone at no other expense to him-
self than a "thank you." He flour-
ishes, perhaps, because he is not a
game bird.
Fire fans—men who always run aft-
er the fire apparatus—have formed an
organization. Next should come a so-
ciety of men who stand for hours
watching workmen excavate for a
new building.
Having paid $35 for a machine guar-
anteed to make perfectly good green-
backs out of blank paper, a St. Louis
man was indignant at the outcome.
He is one of the kind that are born
every minute.
The bridegroom who had his wed-
ding trousers filched on his way to
the nuptials can console hlinseir with
the thought that the wife Is now pre-
vented from wearing them.
Boston women want the marriage
service ammded The changes that
they are In favor of are not mention-
ed. but It Is safe to presume that they
want to amend it in their favor.
Can public opinion compel uniform di-
vorce laws? If it can, will it ever reach
the point of exerting itself to bring about
this result? As to the first question, there
is no doubt. Public opinion can do about
anything. It is our final authority.
To be sure, we hear a great deal these
days about the tremendous power of the
"interests," and how frequently that power
is everted in directions counter to the nat-
ural trend of public opinion. But when we
attempt an analysis of the matter, it be-
comes apparent that the power of the "in-
terests" is simply a power to mold public
opinion, hiuI that this power is successful only in so far as public opinion
is of itself sluggish or wanting in unanimity.
Public opinion, once thoroughly aroused and concentrated upon a
definite object, will always sweep everything before it.
It is not, then, a question of ability, it is a question of willingness
on the part of public opinion. Will public opinion ever reach the point
where it will compel uniform marriage and divorce laws? Most assur-
edly yes; just as soon as present conditions become bad enough and uni-
versal enough to justify the concentration of public attention and public
disapproval upon them.
Few people realize how important a part the process of decomposition
plays in all evolution. The oculist docs not remove a cataract until it
is ripe.
It may seem to some of us that in the matter of divorce and remar-
riage conditions are already sufficiently malodorous to justify their cor-
rection without delay.
It is evident that we are too much in a hurry. The World is patient,
but its judgments arc sound and sure.
As soon as these conditions become "ripe" public opinion will turn
its attention to them and will perform a drastic and thorough surgical
operation. It is simply a question of time.
United States Leads the World in Out-
put of Crude Product—Okla-
homa in Second Place
Washington—More than 200,000,000
barrels of oil, with a value of nearly
$128,000,000, were produced in the
United States last year, according to
David T. Day of the United States
geological survey, in an advance chap-
ter on petroleum from "Mineral He-
sources of the United States" for
1910.
The petroleum industry in the
United States, says Dr. Day, has been
characterized by a phenomenal in«
crease each year for the last four
years. Each year's gain over that
of the year before has been so re-
markable as to lead to the belief that
the limit of production has been
reached, but the increase has con-
tinued rapidly. After varying between
50,000,000 and 60,000,000 barrels annu-
ally in the decade between 1890 and
1900, the oil output was over 63,000,000
barrels in 1900 and increased to 88,-
000,000 barrels in 1902. In 1903 it
passed the 100,000,000-barrel mark, in
1904 it was over 170,000,000 barrels,
and in 1905 nearly 135,000,000 barrels.
After a slight decline in 1906 the out-
put rose again, in 1907 reaching 166,-
000,000 barrels. It was 178,000,000
barrels in 1908. 183,000,000 barrels in
1909, and 209,556,048 barrels in 1910,
a gain of 14 per cent over the record
output of 1909. This brought the total
output since the beginning of the pe-
troleum industry to more than two bil-
lion barrels. Oklahoma is second in
production, according to the report.

Use of
Quirt
Will Make
Children
Better
By VICTOR Ci. EOSENBAL'M
Atlanta, C a.
1 am one of a family of eight. All of
us are good citizens and one is even emi-
nent. We were soundly whipped in our
youth and each of us honors and reveres
our parents' memory. Ko child was
whipped after the fourteenth birthday. We
didn't need it.
It is fear that rules, not love. Children
are having their character ruined by too
much allowance being made for their youth.
The ten commandments are as appli-
cable to human frailties today as they wore
when written. The crying question, of the
day is how to rear children.
The abolishment of the rod is producing criminal tendencies among
the young.
My parents whipped tlieir children when they lied and stole. As a
result, fear kept us from repeating the offense until we were sufficiently
developed to guide ourselves.
A prominent dentist recently told me he honored his parents for
having whipped him, as in his practice he handles the modern "love
gtiided" child, than whom there is none more unfortunate.
The mother of today no longer reads aloud to her children. Living-
stone and Stanley will enthrall the young for many happy hours.
Let the mother wear pretty clothing, no matter how cheap. Dainty
dress attracts and invites respect. The mother deserves some reward.

Kidney Troubles Lower the Vitality of

Don't wait for serious illness; begin

taken sick afiout a j
year ago. My limbs
and feet began to
swell and my doctor
said I had Bright's
disease. 1 then con-
sulted a doctor who
said I had dropsy and
could not live. Doan's
Kidney Pills relieved
me promptly and I
owe my life to them."

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is the best of all medicines for the cure of diHeane*,
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu-
ated physician—an experienced and skilled specialist in
the diseases of women.
It is a safe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol
and no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so good that its maaert
are not afraid to print its every ingredient on
cach outside bottle-wrapper and attest to the
truthfulness of the same under oath.
It is sold by medicine dealers everywhere, and any dealer who hasn't it can
get it. Don't take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine op
known composition. No counterfeit is as good as the getiu?.ie and the druggist
who sa)s something else is "just as good as Dr. Pierce's" is either mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such a man is not to bo
trusted. He is trilling with your most priceless possession—your health—
may be your life itself. See that you get what you ask for.
