STILLMAN AX1) HOOSKVKLT.
I’res deut Roosevelt lias given
proof of his annoyance over the
publlcat on of a report that Janies
Stillman, president of a bank known
n Now York as the ‘ Standard Oil
Dank," is prrncipai stockholder
in tho Outlook, the magazine to
which the president u to become a
“contrtbut ag editor.” The publish
ers assert tnat their magazine is io‘
a public service corporation, and
that the public tma no right to de
ninud to know what proport on of
the stock la owned and controlled
by Mr. Stillman. Mr. St I lrnan is
n Paris, and will no doubt see the
importance of saying someth ug on
tho subject.
Tho frieuds of Mr. Roosevelt will,
of course, pooh-pooh the auggeatlon
tnat ho know anything about the
magaz no being controlled by a man
connected with tha oil trust when
lie signed a contract to become one
of its editor al writers. But they
will bo forced to admit, la view of
the recently published Archbo'd
letters, that tho Standard haa taken
similar steps to 'laflueace public
opinion. Under the oircumstanc **,
unless there a a full and aatlufac
tory explanation, Mr. Moose velt’s
editorial expressions through the
Outlook vnil not Sara tha weight
they would otherwise have.—Wheel
ng Register.
A TRIBUTE TO DECENCY.
The victory of South Dakota's
uow divorce law. which the official
count hag at last established, la a
victory of decency. In the paat the
state has been a favorite camping
ground for coarae-bred persons to
whom the marriage ties were not
niorely unpleasant, but boringly In
convenient. says the Courier-Jour
nal. A six month'* residence ;n the
state and the married person could
procure his legal separation with
tiie oxpedit on of a lightning change
artist. There sprang up what was
fnnilliany called "South Dakota's
Divorce Colony." I»orce la the
s'ate uecamo a branch of commerce
t whs one of the leading industries
Jt the place. It paid. It paid so
veil that when the moral sense of
oms of the people began to assert
itself and the recent legislature
parsed a law requ ring a year s res
•lence there came a protest from
he commercial army. Hotelkeep
*rs, real estate dealers and divorce
lawyers demanded—as was provld
d by the Dakota constitution—that
he new enactment be submitted to
he people for approval or rejection,
t was a red-hot campaign, tho mor
al element on one side and ths vul
gar commercial element oa the oth
®r. The moral element of ths rest
of ths country congratulates the
■ roral element of South Dakota oyer
s success. The divorcs factories
of ths state may at 11 be patronized
by, rebellious spouses, and the hote’
-eepera, real estate agents and di
vorce lawyers may y«t make a liv
ng but the traffic will be lees bra
zen. That state has paid it* trib
ute to the sanctity of marriage.
Says the Bluefleld Dead -r:
It ban been unofficially auuoun
red that President Roosevelt will
give a dinn'-r to cwrta n labor lead
ers interested In labor legislation,
but that both Oompera aid Mr. Mor
rison will be ignored, while all the
leaders who avowedly supported Mr.
raft Will bs invited. We do not
believe that M . Roosevelt w.ll osr
his prejudice* to th’* extent. If
the invited guests *r* to b* repre
sentative be cannot well igaor* the
two foremost labor leader* la Amer
