Much has been published about the Dollar line. The Journal says this line consists of seven steamers, three of which, in the coast wise trade, always have been and always will be sailed un der the American flag. The other four vessels manned with Chinese crews sailed under a foreign flag until the war broke out, when the danger of German raiders caused them to be transferred hastily to the American flag, "for" the time being only," as Capt. Robert Dollar said at the time. These four vessels have now been put back under an alien flag. The Journal says the reason is that the German raiders have disappeared from the Pacific, the La Follette act having nothing to do with it. The sale of five of the Pa cific Mail fleet is due, accord ing to the Journal, to the fact that railroad-owned vessels are denied the use of the Panama canal.

REAL VERSUS SHAM REGULATION. RY1NG to criticise Sena tor Chamberlain for his recent address in Port land on the subject of the Fer ris bill an electric trust organ said: "One after another, offici als of the power companies tes tified to the fact that they were under strict control and regulation by state commis sions. They expressed satis faction w ith that control." If power company officials testified as claimed, they tes tified to a falsehood. There is .probably not a state in the west where pow er companies are under real control by state commissions. That is why the officials "expressed satisfac tion" with the control. The weakness in the state control as now known is that the commissions do not have authority over the Issuance of stocks and bonds. Therefore they are helpless with refer ence to a very important fea ture. It is futile to regulate the rates of a corporation when it is allowed to adjust its own capitalization as it sees fit. In the Ferris bill it is pro vided that power concerns operating under the provisions of the law must submit to reg ulation of their stocks and bond issues. Companies doing an interstate business come under the authority of the In terstate Commerce Commis sion. Those doing an intra state business fall under con trol ' of state commissions where commissions exist with power to regulate rates and act, must be blamed j But the canal code require ment that railroads shall not '(Operate steamers through the selected. canal 13 a good measure not a bad one. Without that pro vision it would be possible for transcontinental railroads to ! control steamer business through the canal and elimi nate the natural benefits re sulting to the public from the construction of the canal. TROUSERS' ANNIVERSARY ONG trousers are 100 years old this year. It was just, a century ago that a London tailor one bright spring morning, walked jauntly down Bond street, in London, clad in the odd loose breeches that hung to his toes. He was a great curiosity, and his "freak" apparel created no small stir. The wits of our day who ply their pens vigor ously on the subject of wom en's dress were far outdone by the jokesmiths of a century ago, when trousers were first worn. But the valiant tailor persisted, was the butt of Lon don town, and thereby gave to modern man the clothing for his nether limb. It is hard at this distance of time to realize the storm of disapproval that attended the transition from knee breeches to trousers. The jaunty tailor was assaulted by a mob and was arrested for indecency. The Duke of Wellington. fresh from his laurels at Wa terloo, was later impressed with the greater convenience of the new garment, and de termined to popularize long trousers. So he had a nair made a;id wore them to a ball. Despite his high standing as a popular hero, ha was turned away with the ultimatum, "The guests at this ball must be dressed." But slowly and surely the fashion of long j 1 I j !

Marshall Field, heir to the Immense fortune built up by his grandfather, and his bride, the former Evelyn Marjhall, returned on the S. S. Philadelphia aft- er several months in Europe. They visited the Marne battiefild and Cad land, England, where Mr. Field's mother has opened a hospital for wounded British soldiers. The banker makes blunders in his figures, the lawyer draws up Incor rect papers and the business man submits erroneous bills. Such blun ders are known only to the few per sons whom they concern. The news paper is like the actor on the stage, whose slightest slip is manifest to all, and seems ridiculous. TIUS MA Y ENTERTAIN THE WAVE O' THE FLAG. I. O the flag's your friend when you're far away, For with every ripple it seems ta say: "I'm from the Land where the home-folk stay, And I bring you a message across the foam To the lands where the hearts that love me roam: Just as I'm waving now for you. I'm waving over the hearts at home, And there, where the free-born peo ple dwell. All's well all's well!" II O the wave o" the Flag, when the wandered seems To send his soul on the wings of dreams Over the billowy spaces dim To the land where the home-lights shine for 'him! . For !t says of the hearts so far fiOTi sight: "They dream of you in the dark and light Tliey listen for footsteps in the nlKht; And from dawn to the shadows that flicker and fall My guarding stars are over them all; Under my folds in pence they dwell All's well all's well!'' III. T'.:e wave o' te Flag! And you feel the thrill And then, as the motorist threw in the clutch and sped on his way without pausing to thank his Infor mant, the latter grinned and mutter ered t ohlmself: "If he'd been a little more polite about it I might have told him he's get there quicker if he turned his car around." .SOME HAT, TITIS ONE. The sunshine had suddenly given way to a perfect storm of rain. "What a terrible downpour!" sigh ed a girl to her male escort. "Yes," replied the man, "and I am afraid that my umbrella Is hdrdly large enough to cover all of your pic ture hat." "What a shame," mourned the girl; "but anyway, see what you can do for the pink plush rose!" r ONE WAY OCT, Mrs. Bowers I do wish you would go to church with me occasionally. How are people to know that I am married If they never see you with me? Mr Bowers Easy! Take the chil dren with you. ruck. i Not Wisely, Bnt Too Well.
