SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS SEyERYWHERETIS Snecial Correspondence. Washington, L). C, June 3. The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a sweeping decision against the Tobacco Trust Monday It was the last case disposed of be fore the summer recess. Chief Jus tice White delivered the opinion As sociate Justice Harlan dissenting on the "light of reason" construction The trust is adjudged a combination in restraint of trade, an attempt to monopolize, and a monopoly. Com bmation, as to practically all con stituent concerns, is dissolved in a sweeping decision. Six months' time allowed for dissolution. Iridi vidual defendants and foreign cor porations are included in the court's findings. Way opened for criminal prosecution of tobacco princes. For first ime the principle of receiver ship in enforcement of the Sherman law is recognized,' and through which a wide field is opened for effective enforcement of anti-trust laws. Chief Justice White insists Sherman law has been vitalized, not weaken ed, by "light of reason" construc tion. Justice Harlan forcibly ob jects to legislation by judicial con struction, and warns court people will not submit. Tobacco combina tion is composed of sixty-five corpor ations, the eight largest of which have combined capital of over $300, 000,000. The decisions of the Supreme Court in the Standard Oil and To bacco Trust cases will have a whole some effect on all combinations in restraint of trade, and will undoubt edly cause many small concerns to commence business owing to the fear of large organizations pushing them to the wall by underselling be ing removed. - The chief trouble with all large aggregations of capi ta! is that they become arrogant and become a lav to themselves, know ing no law but that which concerns them, and over-riding and evading the law until they imagine they are superior to the law and are not bound to respect its provisions. It is high time a halt was called. Tuesday was National Memorial Day and a public holiday here. There were only -500 old soldiers in line for the parade that morning. This small remnant of old soldiers serves to show that they are fast passing away, and it will be but a few years more when the last will have departed to that "bourne from whence no traveler ever yet return ed." President Taft and Senator Curtis delivered the addresses at Arlington, the former home of Gen. Robert E. Lee, now the National Cemetery, where sleep thousands of soldiers and officers until the last trump shall sound their awakening. Representative Burns, of Tennes 520, on Tuesday asked if the Attor ney General of the United States had begun criminal prosecution of the officers of the American Tobacco Company, or if such proceedings are contemplated. The resolution has the support of the House Democrats and undoubtedly wilf be passed. The American Tobacco Company and sixty-four constituent corporations apd twenty-nine individual- defendants will be prosecuted. "They are James B. Duke, Cabcl C. jPuke, Percival S. Hill. George Arvents, Paul Brown, Robert B. Duke, George A. Helm, Robert D. Lewit, Thomas J. Maho ney, Oliver H. Payne, Thomas F. Ryan, Robert K. Smith, George W Watts, George G.. Allen, John B. Cobb, William R. Harris, William II. McAllister, Anthony M. Brady, Benjamin H. Duke, II. M. Hannah, Herbert A. Kingsbury, Pierre Loril lard, Rufus L. Patterson, Frank H. Ray, GrantB. Schley, Charles'Stratz, Peter A. B. Widener, v Wilford C Reed and 'Williamson W. Fuller. To date there have been t he fol lowing corporations prosecuted un der the Sherman law: Paper Trust, New York; Cotton Corner Trust, New York; Beef Packers' Trust, Chicago, Savannah and 'Boston; Brick Trust, Chicago; Window Glass Trust, Pittsburg; Bath Tub Trust, Detroit; "Milk Trust, Boston. The Paper Trust and the Window Glass Trust suits have been won by the government and they have been heavily fined and the Window Glass Trust broken up. Only one case in which the defendants have been sent to jail and that was where a South- tion pact with Great Britain, France and other European countries. In ternational peace while desired, must not be accepted at a loss of dignity. Roosevelt is right! Sensational testimony was given ern judge, Shepherd, of the United f Wednesday regarding .conditions in btates Circuit for the Southern dis trict of Georgia, sentenced two de fendants to jail, as well as. fining them and three others $17,000. These cases are now before the Su preme Court of the United States and will be heard next winter, as to whether the jail sentence will be served or not. To meet this Senator Kenyon introduced in the Senate, on the 8th of May, a bill to leave the judge no alternative than to jail the convicted defendants. The follow ing is the language: "Every per son so convicted, whether acting in dividually or as a director of a cor poration, shall be punished by im prisonment not exceeding one year." There is no option for the judges here in this bill, and it should pass and become a law. What do these malefactors of great wealth care for a fine? Absolutely nothing. Put them in jail and it will have a wholesome effect upon them an others who are and have been vio- ating the law. The power of money should not be allowed to keep them out of jail. The poor man goes to jail because he has not the money to stave off a jail sentence by delaying the due process of law, and the rich man should not be allowed to do so. The operation of the law should be i the samefor all, rich and poor, high and low, influential and non-influen tial. Nothing lends so much to ward socialism and anarchy as the rich man avoiding serving out a jail sentence and the poor man being- compelled to serve terms. One lavy for the rich, another for -the poor, is not to be tolerated. ' All should and must be treated alike. It is thought here that the vote in Congress (House) to abolish the moneytary commission will be unan imous. The way in which the mone tary commission tapped the treasury is as follows: Summer trip to Eu rope, expenses not itemized, $19, 250.18; meeting at Narragansett the Westmoreland, Pa., coal fields, before the House Committee on Rules. President Feehan, of the Mine Workers' Union, testified that twenty miners had ..been killed dur ing the strike and that eighteen deputies tried for wanton murder i. ?1 t i . ! . i biriKe wno were sworn m as deputy of the government.

' iii;u ;'J shentts; that in the Westmoreland county mines the pay was 35 cents a ton, and in the Pittsburg district 60 to -70 cents a ton for coal mined; that many strikers were shot down when attempting to escape. The Great Northern Railroad with headquarters at St. Paul, Minn., has made a $600,000,000 bond issue. This i3 one of the largest financial deals ever made in the West. It is thought thattho Great Northern will take over the Burlington road and that the merger will be upheld by the courts.

Spend ing - $207,130.48 of the people's money to date, with returns not at all commensurate, is not to be toler ated by the Democrats. Too much government by commission. Then, too, the law- creating this commis sion gave it absolute freedom from embarrassment caused by auditing its accounts. - James D. Richardson, Grand Com mander of the Scottish Rite Masons, broke ground here Wednesday for the new temple which will be erect ed at Sixteenth and S. streets, at a cost of about $1,000,000. In a prief address Gi'and Commander Richard son paid the organization of the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons- for the Southern jurisdic tion took place 110 years ago in Charleston, S. C, and is the mother Council of all the other Scottish Rite Councils in this country. The first Grand Commander w?.s Col. John Mitch'el, of Charleston, who served in the Revolutionary War. The Southern jurisdiction embraces 33 States. It includes all of the States south of Mason and Dixon line, west of the Mississippi river, and Hawaii and the Philippines. The corner stone will be laid next October, when President Taft will preside over the ceremonies. Attorney General Wickersham was before the House Committee con ducting an examination of the De ment -of .Justice on Wednesday. He was once member of a New York firm that advised the United States Steel Corporation. He also said that Henry W.

"He said the government ac cepted $2,000,000 from 'the sugar trust for fraudulent weighing be cause he doubted hat the govern ment had a sufficient case to enforce the -penalties, and so accepted the compromise.
