We hardly know what position to take in regard to the dissent ing opinion of Justice Harlan in the Standard Oil case. He brands a3 mischievious the modi fication made by the court in the decree of the lower court, per mitting subsidiary corporations of the Standard Oil after disso lution of the combination, to make "normal and lawful agree ment" among themselves. Chief Justice White, all the justices concurring, except Judge Harlan, held that there may be a reason able restraint of trade by com bination, although .that which had been effected by the Stan dard Oil was not of this nature. In this ruling the court reversed all previous decisions which the court had made when the Sher man Anti-Trust law was affected. Justice Harlan holds that every restraint of trade violates the law. He declares he is convinced the Supreme Court's decision "will throw the business .of the country into confusion and invite widely extended and harassing litigation, the injurious effects of which will be felt for many years to come." There is doubtless a large de gree of truth in this prophecy. Big combines are going to con tend that they are "reasonable" when they are wilfully unjust. They are built that way. Never theless, Judge Harlan's conten tion makes the combination of two country stores a violation of the Sherman law. The Democrat belongs to a little printers publishers associa tion in which it agreed with Clay, Gwin and Mace, of Hickory; Rufe Clark, Brady and Sronce, of Statesville; Williams and Me bane, of Newton; Moore, Martin and Grist, of Lenoir, and a whole lot of others, to maintain a mini mum price for printing and ad vertising. It was a mighty reasonable minimum. But wouldn't Justice Harlan's con tention make it an agreement in restraint of trade? THE POSTAL SABBATH. The Democrat published last week a statement from Post master Hamrick to the effect that the post office will here after keep Sunday more strictly, The general delivery will be open only half an hour, and the car riers window not at all. The Democrat believes that this is right. It believes in keep ing the Lord's day as a day for rest. Artificial conditions of modern life have made us be ieve that Sunday mail and its de livery is a necessity but it isn't. Time was when our ancestors thought they were fortunate if they got mail once a week. The mail carrier has a hard weeks work, especially in the blistering Says of summer. Lets not complain on his getting a whole day's rest on Sunday. worse than useless to take any medicines internally for muscular or chronic rheumatism. All that is need ed is a free application of Chamber lain s Liniment. For sale by all deal crSf - The Democrat has a corking good correspondent at Boone who signs his name "A. M," but whose identity the present editor of the paper has never been able to run down. Chiefly for the purpose throwing him a bouquet, the democrat would like to know who "A. M." am. The Kidneys and Their Boss. Dr. J. N. Hurty, Secretary Indiana State Board of Health. One time two kidneys, which had been working like dray horses for years, suddenly slowed up. Kidnev No. 1 said: "1 just can.'t absorb these enormous quantities of salt and saltpeter the blogd is loaded with nowadays; and I notice you. too, *re growing weak." "Yes," said No. 2, ' the man #e are working for is a regular glutton on ham and bacon, and iince Dr. Wiley forbade borax as i meat preservative, the salt >eter has been increased, and that's what makes us so tired. Yesterday the saltpeter was so itrong it tore one of my tubules, *nd it bled horribly. The boss vas awfully scared, and went to ;ee a doctor. " The doctor never ai.l a word about letting up on he ham with its embalming •hemicalt, but gave a prescrip tion which I heard the old man ay cost 35 cents. It was acetate >f potash and an infusion of digi .alis, and when it struck me I rembled like a leaf." "I, too, felt the blow of that nfernal stuff when it came dong," said No. 1. "I already >ad a good jag of salt and salt peter, and was trying my best to oass them on when, the acetate md digitalis hit me. I grew diz sy, and just to let a little light into the boss's mind, I sent a oain impulse to his brain." "So did I," said No. 2. Didn't help much, though, because he sent down a dose of morphine to juiet the pain. When the blood >rought the cussed stuff, I could ;ee the white corpuscles were staggering and were very weak ike. One of them said, "I feel ike I had been hit with a club. I wouldn't whip a sick tvphoid /erm if it were to come along, «nd if it were a husky one, good bye me." "Good-bye for the boss, too," said Kidney No. 1. The two poor overworked kid neys again conscientously took •ip their functions, but it was no ise; they just could not catch up. The blood now began to kick. 'I have carried this load of salt and saltpeter around the course three times now, and a new lot cams into the stomach about ten minutes ago, and also a lot of catsup with vinegar and spices. If you don't take this old charge from me, as is your duty, I can't relieve the stomich." "Let the stomach go hang." s lid the kidneys. "If it hasn't sense enough to puke the infern al stuff out, let it suffer." "What can it do?" siid the blood. "The creosote Which got into the ham when it was smoked tias paralyzed the poor thing." So the kidneys said: "Well, just send a joint wire up to head juarters and see if the old fool boss won't then let up a bit with lis gormandizing." So they sent the wire and threw a fit. The boss, sick as a dog, had to go to bed, and again sent for the doctor. "I have an awful pain in mv kidneys," said the boss. "My kidney pills will cure it," said the doctor; and he adminis tered the pills. When tney dropped into the stomach the old tired thing said:' "Heavens and earth! what's this?" Nevertheless, it bent to the job, ancL when the hard sugar c>ating was dissolved and he bufliu, juniper oil, and more saltpeter dropped out, it called down the tube to the kidneys what was coming.- The poor things groaned and said, ~How long, 0 Lord, how long?" Before the stuff in the first dose of pills reached the kidneys, another dose dropped into the stomach. I 'Here comes some more!" veiled the stomach down the tube, and the dizzy, staggering kidnevs agreed they had reached the end of their string and Bright's dis ease was inevitable. They just couldn't help it, and the trouble began. Gradually the boss wasted away in great pain, and died. He never did know why his kid neys gave out, and why he had Bright's disease.
