*---, Today One Baby Octopus, * Jerusalem's l nicersity. .4 I\icb in the Bullet. Poor Papoose. Bail l te. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V____ Once there was a big oil trust and, in awe, people said: ‘‘It'R a one thousand million octopus.” The government said: ‘‘We will destroy that octopus. We will not have such a gigantic organization grow ing up in our sweet republic: Away with it.” So the government brought a law suit and the big trust was chopped up into many little trusts. And those that owned the little pieces found themselves about 10 times richer than they were before. That’s how it works when gov ernment tries to interfere with what is renlly the natural evolution in business. Now comes a combination of the Standard Oil of Indiana, one little piece of the big “octopus.” And the Dcjheny Oil company, not in cluding the CaliforniaDoheny com pany. The new concern has assets of S:>84,000,000, and nobody knows how many billions it may* be really worth in years to come. One little baby born of the thou sand million concern grown to $j84,000,000 size and nobody gets excited, we have got used to “octo puses.” In Jerusalem Balfour has dedi rated a great university near the spot where the Emperor Titus pitched his camp when he be sieged and captured that ancient city. Cablegrams from Jerusalem supply complete details, and how that cabling would amaze the old leader, Moses. He spent 40 years wandering through Egypt into the Promised Land. Flying machines make the trip regularly now in about an hour. A cable message telling about Jerusalem’s new uni versity might go from old Jerusa lem to New York, with a Jewish population 10 times greater than Jerusalem ever had, in less than one-tenth of a second. Such is progress. Many in Jerusalem seeing this great university will remember the line in the Talmud: “Jerusalem was destroyed because the schools were neglected.” Apparently the schools are not to be neglected henceforth. Little things make a great differ ence. as children are taught in the "Id lines about "for lack of a nail the shoe was lost,” telling how, at last, the kingdom was lost. The well known criminal. Chap man, on trial for his life, says he didn’t shoot Policeman SkeUy, and lias, what seems, a good alibi. But his own pistol, alleged to have shot the policeman, may hang Chapman. Inside the barrel of the pistol there was a little roughness that made a nick in each bullet as it went out, and just such a nick was found on the bullet that killed The supreme power of the Ro-j nan Catholic ihurch in the Vatican,! 1 hr “Segnatura,” decides that fount Boni de Castollane is .-.till Js married to Anna Gould. Mean !while, Anna Gould, divorced from jde Castellan* hv the civil courts in France, has married the Marquis de Talleyrand. So there you have a mix-up. In the eyes of the church the Talleyrand children are not born in wedlock. It would interest and surprise Jay Gould, still well remembered by old men in Wall street, if he could know how many queer things, marriages, divorces, law suits, well fed counts and marquises, have grown out of the millions that he gathered together. You feel sad about the poor red man, deprived of his lands, and driven ever farther and farther away front the good real estate cor ners. Then from Cortez, Cal., comes a reminder that the noble red man was not all that he should have been. Locked up in Cortez are an aged medicine man of the Ute tribe and his son-in-law. Paleface usurpers accuse them of burying a little pa poose alive, with its dead mother, in accordance with ancient custom. Many old tribes, including some white tribes, once did such shock ing things. Whites don’t do it any more. One Mexican gentleman in the same prison learned, to his sorrow, that insulting a Ute medicine man, even one very old. is dangerous. The Mexican taunted the medicine man. The latter tore a leg off a heavy chair and killed the Mexican with it. The French finance minister an nounces an increase in French paper money, perhaps by five thousand million francs. Wise men will be cautious about calling this “inflation” and trying to knock down the price of the franc. If the French manufacture more paper money it will be be cause they need it to use it, not to inflate their currency. In France nothing could be more dangerous than to have the peo ple's money suddenly become worthless. You couldn’t do, safely, to the French what was done to the Germans and their marks. Admiral Robson of our glorious navy says the bombing airplane is dangerous to battleships, but the “airplane can’t fly very far, so its usefulness is limited.” The answer is, battleships can’t shoot very far.
