Owen further explains that the
mission of the newspaper is to edu-

out of our line to try to earn a little

no doubt printed at the governments

The Midland Valley railroad is

Kansas. One fellow planted dyn-
amite along the proposed right-of-
way, and made the company dig
up $4,000 before he would let them
grade across his farm. Up to last
Saturday twenty-six law suits had
been filed, calling for large amounts
of money for the privilege of run-
ning through the farms. In many
cases the damage asked for is more
than the farms are worth. The
Midland Valley people could come
down into Oklahoma where they
could earn greater returns on their
investment than they can in Kan-
sas or any other agricultural state,
and instead of having war with the
farmers, they would be given all
kinds of encouragement and plenty
of material assistance. Wonder
why they don’t tackle it.

Washington, Julp 11 —Although
many denials have been made that
government officials intend to per-
mit the Guggenheim interest to
control the Alaskan transporation
through a monopoly on the water
ront of Controller Bay in that ter-
ritory, the administration has decid
ed to let congress reach its own con
elusions and all information relat-
ing to the matter will be sent to
the senate as soon as possible.
While President Taft and the
members of his cabinet have voiced
the opinion that an investigation
will show nothing even remotely
resembling such an attempt to fav-
or the Guggenheim interest an at-
tempt in which the names of C. P,
Taft, the president's brother, and
former Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger, have been coupled they
determined that every effort should
me made to clear the situation.
At the regular session of the cab-
inet today, the Controller Bay aff-
air was discussed. It was decided
that all the departments interested,
war, agriculture, interior and com-
merce and labor, should be urged
to make their reports on the case
as quickly as possible.

The Farmer’s and Banker’s Toc-
sin is the name given a new mag-

this month, and while the name
implies a sort of trade journal, the
magazine is in reality devoted to
developement of the state’s resourc-
es, and to the conservation of the
same. The initial number has just
reached us, and we are pleased to
note that instead of being a party
organ, or a muckraking journal, or
anything of that sort, it devotes its
space to explaining how the various
state departments are carrying on
their work; especial mention is made
of the state health department, four
pages of the magazine being given
over to this department. The work
being done by the game warden’s
department is told in plain newspap-
er style, and suggestions offered by
men who know what they are talk-
ing about. We believe there is a
field in Oklahoma for just such a
periodical, and we wish the man-
agement success.

The Court ’’Disturbs Business”
The more the decision of the su-
preme court in the trusts cases is
studied the less satisfactory it ap-
pears even to bankers and business
men. How is anybody to know in
advance of a court decision that
any particular contract he wants to
make is ‘ reasonable” in the sense
that he may enter into it and keep
out of jail?
The idea of the anti-trust law
was that ANY contract is restraint
of trade was contary to public pol-
icy and unlawful. That was plain
It could be understood and enforc-
ed. But when the supreme court
writes “reasonable” into the law it
produces an entirely different sit-
uation. It makes “confusion worse
confounded.” It “disturbs busi-
ness,” in fact.
The wisest leaders of the busines
world clearly perceive that the day
of competition in all the great trade
channels is over; that we have sim-
ply outgrown that phase by the
process of evolution, which is in-
exorable. They now invite “regula-
tion.” Probably we shall try it.
If that fails, but two courses will
remain open:
To let the trusts own the count-
ry; or,
To let the country own the trusts
In the meantime, patience! And
the unfaltering faith that a nation
descended from the signers of the
Declaration of Independence will
not, in the end, consent to surren-
der of its liberties. — Beacon.

Responsibility of The Press
We speak confidently of “the
people” coming into their own.
We are glad in the depths of our
hearts that the shadows of old de-
spotisms and hereditary monarch-
ies and castes are lifting from the
world: that we have found that el-
ecting “representatives” who im-
posed upon our trust, who repudia-
ted their pledges, who constituted
themselves masters instead of serv-
ants, and who could not be remove-
d without exhaustive impeachment
proceedings, has been bnt slightly
better than” divine right” of kings
But democracy means responsibility
personal alertness, activity, study.
Candidates must be pledged to good
measures, or against bad ones; pun-
ishment must be swift and certain
for office holders who betray their tr-
usts. The tools of the Initiative, re-
ferendum, recall’ the direct primary
and so forth, must be easy of use and
applied in the light of Intelligence.
How, then, without the "fourth es-
tate.” are the people to come into
their own, without disaster? The ne-
wspapers must gather the news, not
pile up partisan and biased reports.
The newspapers must present sides
fairly, give undoctored figures, supp-
ress no detail aqverse to their own th-
orles, favor no wrong !u high places'
cease to be "party organs” and be.
come watch-towers of the public in a
wider, higher, truer 3ense than ever
before.—Beacon.
MAIDBU AUNTS RULE FAMILY
Peculiar Custom That Prevail* Among
the People Who Inhabit tha
Banks Islands.
In at least one portion of the world
the pRternal aunt of a family of chil-
dren is of much consequence In the
scheme of family organization. That
is in the Banks islands, a part of the
Melanesian islands in the South seas,
where the natives hold her in unusual
esteem and give her an exalted posi-
tion.
Among the inhabitants of the Banks
islands the father’s sister must never
be addressed by her own name by
her nephew or niece, but by some spe-
cial title of respect adopted by her.
A visitor to the islands tells of an in-
stance in which a woman had been re-
duced to tears because this mark of
respect had been withheld. The
mother might be spoken to strongly,
emphatically, with assurance, but a
man would never even take the Initia-
tive in addressing his maternal aunt,
but would always wait until he had
flrst been spoken to. It was her
function to choose the man's wife, and
to a very considerable extent com-
munity of goods prevailed between
aunt and nephew.
In these islands there is also a
unique method of determining the par-
entage of a child. It is determined
ceremonially by the act of payment to
the woman selected to look after the
mother. This woman Is selected by
the father's sister. In the ordinary
course, the actual father pays the
money, but if another is more anxious
than himself to own the child he may
be forestalled in this payment, and
lose bis right to his own child. The
father's sister is entitled to some of
the child's nail parings, and she keep*
these bidden in a leaf and bung about
her neck. The possession of them has
to be acknowledged by the child, who
can be called upon to give a feast In
his aunt’s honor. After the birth of
the first-born child In the Island of
Motlay all the women of the village
come to the house with their mats
and sleep there for 20 dayB, feastlm;
on a different kind of food every day,
which they are privileged, to take
from the gardens of any one, indi-
cating an early practise of communal
property.—Illustrated Sunday Maga-
tine.
VALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD
People Along the Coaete of Japan
Regularly Gather Harveete o1
the Seaweed.
“A large Income Is derived by the
Inhabitants of the coasts of Japan
from gathering and selling ordinary
■eaweed.” said Jeremiah King of At-
lantic City.
"More than 8,000,000 yen la derived
by the harvesters of the deep each
year. This does not Include the large
amount of the product consumed by
the natives.
“Certain Unde of seaweed are used
(or food and Its by-product* repreeent
thousands of dollars annually. Aa
choice a dessert ae I ever have eaten
was made from weeds gathered on the
southern coast of Japan. This mixed
with auger and sprinkled with rum
makes a dessert rarely equaled on
this side of the Atlantic.
“There are families on the ooest of
Japan whose ancestors for hundreds
of yean have lived entirely from the
proceeds of the seaweed gathered
flrom March to November and sold tor
food. The natives anchor branches of
trees at the mouths of the riven
which flow Into the ocean. The In-
coming tide deposits seaweed on the
branches. The natives gather It, dry
tt. and after mlnctng It with huge
knives sell It In large quantities.”
