Alton, Ill.—In an effort to maintain
discipline in the high school of Upper
Alton, Principal I. W. Bush broke a
chair on the head and shoulders of
Ralph Reeder after slapping him in
the face for an alleged infraction of
the rules. This unusual form of chas-
tisement caused Edward Reeder, fath-
er of the boy, to swear out a warrant
against the principal, charging him
with assault. Recently an epidemic
of giim-chewing swept over the school,
and the incessant wagging of jaws in-
terfered seriously with studies. The
board instructed the principal to stop

said Reeder, who is fourteen years old,
was one of the worst offenders, and
that he repeated the offense in spite
of the strict orders. Bush said he

put up such a strong fight that in
self-defense Bush picked up a chair
and “swung it on him a couple of
times” until the chair broke.
New Tone.—There is living
city today a man wfio has
through the whole thrilling, horror-
filled experience of killing a man in
the clouds. Once he was the most
daring and even foolhardy aeronaut
and parachute jumper in the country.
Rarely was a day,too windy or a dis-
trict too dangerous for him to make
his ascension according to contract
and on time. Now he is as afraid as
death of a balloon, and will scarcely
look at a flying machine in the air.
His nerves are completely gone and
he declares his nights are made
hideous by dreams of something fall-
ing, falling and waving its hands.
It was during fair week at Cohokia,
Ill., back in the 90’s that Robert F.
Scanlon, then known widely through-
out the middle west, was scheduled
to make an ascent. His balloon was
filled with gas and the order had
been given to “cut loose,” when a
drunken man rushed through the
crowd and grabbed Scanlon by the
neck as the trapeze was jerked from
the ground and mounting skyward.
The crowd stood too horrified to
move as the two struggling men kept
going up and up, loading a balloon
that was to carry only 150 pounds
with double its capacity. “Let go or
you will be killed,” cried Scanlon,
squirming in the man’s grasp and
kicking as best he

The decay of French politeness has
become a subject for passing concern
on the part of the French themselves.
It has been frequently remarked by
visitors to France, yho have alleged
& change in French manners within
'the period of their recollection, says
the Charleston News and Courier. The
jsame
lleged
land,
pooh
out of the question for climate to be
materially affected except by imper-
ceptible processes requiring ages to
ihhow results. So as to politeness in
{France; some contend that the
change is more apparent than real.
Most of those taking part in the con-
troversy insist or admit it to be a
fact. These urge that the causes be
identified and correctives applied.
There is a disposition, of course, to
attribute it to women, “especially ele-
gant women whose ill-manners have
no limit,” as one expert submits. . Is
the matter worth serious considera-
tion? Or, rather, should not the
symptom be welcomed? Is not po-
liteness itself a sympton of decay,
like the beauty of old cathedrals, the
mellowness of long-stored vintages, or
the art of telling the truth? Man in
a natural state is not remarkable for
good manners and will lie cheerfully.
That school which holds that the de-
cadence of a people may be traced
by observing its cultivation of the
habit of telling the truth would prob-
ably reason that the diffusion of po-
liteness is in the same way signifr
cant, if a less important barometer
of failing physical and intellectual
virility. A robust entity does not
bother about etiquette.
Public regulation of public service
corporations has come to stay. It
ought to have come and it ought to
stay. That is the flat and unequivocal
assertion of Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent of both the American Telephone
and Telegraph company and the West-
ern Union Telegraph company. It
came in the form of his annual re-
port to the seventy thousand stock-
holders of the two great corporations.
Although Mr. Vail’s advocacy of full
publicity in Connection with the affairs
of such concerns was well understood,
nobody in financial circles had antici-
pated so frank an avowal of full pub-
lic rights in the shaping of their gen-
eral conduct. It came consequently as
a surprise, not only because of its
novelty and squareness, but also on
account of the unqualified acquies-
cence of a board of directors compris-
ing such eminent and conservative
financiers as Robert Winson, of Kid-
der, Peabody & Co., and Henry L.
Higginson of Boston, Henry P. Davi-
son of J. P. Morgan & Co.; Senator
W. Murray Crane, George F. Baer,
T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., Norman W.
Harris, John I. Waterbury and others.
President Vail’s declaration is her-
alded as the first recognition by those
in high corporate authority of the jus-
tice of the demand that the public
be regarded as virtual partners
in all matters that pertain to the com-
mon welfare. He goes directly to the
point.
“Public control or regulation of pub-
lic service corporations by permanent
commissions,” he says, “has come and
come to stay. Control or regulation,
to be effective, means publicity;
it means semi-public discussion and
consideration before action; it means
everything which is the oppo-
site of and inconsistent with effective
competition. Competition—aggressive,
effective competition—means strife,
industrial warfare; it means conten-
tion; it oftentimes means taking ad-
vantage of or resorting to any means
that the conscience of the contestants
or the degree of the enforcement of
the laws will permit.
“Aggressive competition means du-
plication of plant and investment. The
ultimate object of such competition
is the possession of thj^ fields wholly
-^therefore it means eitU
er ultimate combination on such
basis and with such prices as will
cover past losses, or it means loss of
return on investment, and eventual
loss of capital. However it results,
all costs of aggressive, uncontrolled
competition are eventually borne,
directly or indirectly, by the public.
Competition which is not aggressive,
presupposes co-operative action, under-
standings, agreements, which result
in general uniformity or harmony ol
action, which, in fret, is not competi-
tion but is combination, unstable, but
for the time effective. When thor-
oughly understood it will be found
that ‘control’ will give more of the
benefits and public advantages, which
are expected to be obtained through
such ownership, and will obtain
them without the public burden of
either the public office-holder or pub-
lic debt or operating deficit.
“When through a wise and judicious
state control and regulation all the
advantages without any of the disad-
vantages of state ownership are se-
cured, state ownership is doomed.”
“If Mr. Vail is right,” says
Harper’s Weekly, In a concise sum-
ming-up, “then it seems pretty plain
that we are entered upon a new era in
both economics and politics. And it is
high time we did if evolution is to
supplant
force in
tion.”
A Poor Weak Woman
As she is termed, will endure bravely and patiently
agonies which a strong man would give way under.
The fact is women are more patient than they ought
to be under such troubles.
Every woman ought to know that she may obtain
the most experienced medical advice free of charge
and in absolute confidence and privacy by writing to
the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, R. V.
Pierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., for
many years and has had a wider practical experience
in the treatment of women’s diseases than any other physician in this country.
His medicines are world-famous for their astonishing efficacy.
The most perfect remedy ever devised for weak and deli-
cate women is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

guest must fall. Squirming, kicking
and struggling, the two hung on the
ropes and the trapeze, Scanlon, des-
perate in his fear that the air-cooled
gas might cause both to drop because
of their excessive weight, and his
passenger, sobered by fear, almost ex-
hausted and nearly helpless in his
fight against the trained aeronaut.
Finally seeing one last chance of
safety Scanlon ordered the stranger
to sit by him on the trapeze. There,
shoulder to shoulder, they continued
their ascent as Scanlon cursed the
man whose foolhardy trick might
cause the death of both.
A slight ripping sound over their
heads electrified Scanlon, but to his
unwelcome passenger it meant noth-
ing. Scanlon glanced up; his worst
fears were confirmed. One of the
ropes on the side of the balloon and
supporting the parachute had ripped
down a few inches and the gas and
smoke were pouring out. The
rocked back and forth again and
relit enlarged.
The only chance of safety was
one of them to go down in the para-
chute, and self-preservation is the
first law of nature. Scanlon made a
last desperate effort and the next in-
stant his wild and struggling passen-
ger was dropping like a shot through
the air. He darted down and down
until his form struck the earth and
fairly buried itself. His courage al-
most gone, Scanlon cut the rope that
severed the parachute from the bal-
loon and dropped to the ground. He
was so weak he could scarcely stand.
That night he was arrested on charge
of murder, but was acquitted. But

Fighting Man.
It is man’s nature to fight,
merit to fight for what he believes to
be right. Courage and bravery are
not achieved by hiring a lawyer. A
man who is not willing to fight to the
death for the right or for his own is
not as good or complete a man as one
who is is willing. But opinions about
this are not so important as the fact
that it is man’s nature to fight, and
that neither resolr ' nor legislation
nor provision to get over all kinds of
trouble in any other way than fighting
will avail.—Ellwood Hendricks, in AV

"Your asthma and bronchitis

back of the patient’s neck he did say,
“It’§ a wonder a person who wears
such a collar button can breathe at
all.
“I suppose for 25 years you have
been wearing high, rigid collars,” con-
tinued the doctor, “with a collar but-
ton half an. inch long pressing heav-
ily against the spinal column near
where it enteri^he brain—where it
enlarges into thS medulla oblongata.

that supply the brain; then when you
lean back it presses hard against the
base of the brain itself. But the col-
lar button, such as you wear, and as
most men wear, is worse than the
collar, and together they are certainly
a vicious combination. The medulla
contains vital centers of the auto-
matic action of the body. The chief
of these centers is that controlling
respiration. If the medulla is injured
death ensues by suffocation. In cases
of hanging it is the injury to this cen-
ter that causes death. The medulla
is also the center for the vasomotor
nerves, regulating the size of the
blood vessels. A heavy and continu-
