CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JAN. 1st, 1921 11,047 KEEPING UP SHIPMENTS. When the appeal is made to the shi pers of the country by the railroads ing that every possible use be made of the transportation equipment at the pres- “ent time, when there is a much larger ount of it available than is used and is desirable for the good of all con- « cerned that the wheels be: kept in mo- tion, there is reason to 'believe that where it can be done it will be respond- ed to. In the recent statement made by the chairman of the railroad executives' solation much credit was given to the shippers for the help which they gave e the roads in making it possible for them to get increased efficiency from the existing equipment under trying condi- tions. That help was not only beneficial to the railroads but it resulted in the shippers getting better service than woudd otherwise have been possible, and it is not going to be overlooked by them right now that if there is an advantage to be gained through the utilization of idle ‘equipment this is the ‘time to im- prova it \ What the railroads aim at'is to pre- vent the piling up of business. Their equipment is not what they desire or what they expest to provide as fast as possible, but it must be made the most of until different conditions prevail Could the demands of the roads be reg- ular, instead of being small this time of the year and big in the spring or later the difficulty in handling it would be greatly reduced and the service mani- festly improved. It is with the view to keeping the rolling stock moving and hahdling new goods which must event- uallf* be moved while there is equipment to"do- so ingtead of having it thrown upon them at a rush period and cause embarrassment Mot only to the railroads but td those who want to have the gogds moved and those ‘anxious to receive them. L How much effect ‘this will have upon the deferred shipments there is no way of telling. Tt isn't heing urged because freight rates are higher now than they will be later, for so far as known freight rates are likely to temain where they are for some time to,come. The one idea is to keep up business and to temove &s far as possible the burdens of rush sea- £ons. THE INAUGURATION EXPENSE. Perhaps there is a lot of time wasted in the discussion sz to how much money will be anpropriated by congress for the expenses of the inauguration March fourj At any 1a'e a number of views are being expressed and for the most part there appears to be recognized the need of using common sense in the ex- penditures for this as well as other pur- poses. It is tolly to throw away mopgey at a time when there is so great a need for it, likewise it is ridiculous to think of plunging into. needless expenditures just because others have done it, or be- e waste has characterized the ad- stration. which is ending. That there should be reasonable pro- visions for ‘the inauguration is bound “to" make its appeal to congress. The fact that Jefferson drove up to the capitol on horseback and used a similar means of transportation to go to the white house directly after isn't expected to be taken as the guide for the president-elect, or the committee that has the responsible job of arranging the details of the in- auguration day ceremonics. The fact is that Jeffersonian practices haven't been the standard even during democratic ad- ministrations. On the other hand when it is brought to at‘ention that there was no thought of sparing expense in cornection, with the peace commission, or in the conduct of certain phases of government activities it doesnt mean that there should be a willingness to plunge ahead into a wild and unwarranted expenditure of govern- ment money when the new admiistration takes hold. There is mo question but 2t the country bélieves that the change is worthy of proper celebration, that it has every confidence in the leadership and that it will accent whatever is de- cided upon feeling that it is an event that calls for dua_recognition, but evervthing points to the fact that there is due re- ard for the demand for the ehding of avagance and for the policy of re- trenchment that is being manifested in other directions. TIME TO PROTECT OURSELVES. When Commissioner Wallis of the El- lis island immigration station declared that it is through the limited transpor- tation-facilities and the increased exam- inations that we will get the best pyotec- tion against the "flood of immigration | that is waiting to get to this country, it| shows the need. of careful attention be- ing given to our immigration laws. It in fact doesn't speak very well for those whigh, are_possessed today, but plainly urges the enactment of legislation that will give us protection even with creased transportation facilities. It is impossible to tell what action con- gress is going to take relative to the law that is now before it calling for the sus- pension of immigration for a year. The house has given its quick approval.

ODD INCIDENTS INX AMERICAN HISTORY AMERICA’S MYSTERIOUS EXILE. In the year 1808 a French gentleman came into the wilds of the southern part of Madison county, New York. and erect- ed a chateau upon the wooded summit of the highest hill in Georgetown. He had purchased 2,700° acres of land, paying for it close to §10,000. He gave the name of Louis Anathe Muller. ie brought great wealth in gold and silver coin intp the wilderness and spent it lavishly in cléhr- ing land, erecting hfs home and e ablish- ing a great park for game. The chateau was little less than a fortress. ‘The master of the house wore the cos- tume of a French gentleman and intro- duced, as far as possible, the manners of feudal France. He was attended by a present law serves to embarrass rather than to help, where it is a drawback in- stead of an aid to efficiency and Wwhere care should be taken in drafjng another law to avoid the pitfalls which have been disclosed in the existing one. 3 Tha governor's recommendation in dealing with this subject! impressed it- self upon the members of the house, whare it was voted to repeal thé law un- der'a suspension of the rules. Certainly | KT if the law is a handi®ap it should be Qis-| pensed with. The legislation ghat is based upon wrong principles is no benefit and it is beiter that such §h0uld not en-. cumber the statute books. Carrying the recommendation of the governor it is probable that the senate will look upon the law in much the shme way that the bouse has with the'result that we will get along without such a 1aw or efforts will be made to put in its place some- thing that will be a credit. 2 ti RESTRAINING TRADE. That the recent decision of the United States supreme court is one of particu- lar interest to both labor and capital is eviiencgd not only from the attack which has been made upon it by Mr. Gompers but from the interpretation which it gives to the Clayton law, by which there had been gained the idea that a decision similar to the one given would be pre- vented. Possibly that is why Mr. Gomp- ers takes the attitude that he does for it is shown by the court’s decision that the Clayton act dqes not legalize the sec- | ondary boycott and that there can be no discrimination when it comes to deal- ing_ with acts involving the restraint of trade. S S . The particular case dealt with the call- ing. of a_strike against a printing.press concern because it refused to recognize 2 closed shop and the company sought relief from the courts. In’ the lower courts it was ‘maintaifed that the Clay- ton act-ghte exemption to labor unions from the laws concerning restraint of trade but this is overruled by the United States supreme court, taking the stand that the union is not exempted from un- lawful acts even though it is exempted by the Clayton act from being consid- ered as existing in restraint of trade. Un- der the trustjlaw it is possible to dis- solve a corporation which is engaged ‘in restraint of trade, This is Wwhere the Clayton exemption comes in regarding the u(nion for they cannot have that pen- alty applied, but it does not justify them|a in actions which are against the law. The fact is pointed out that to con- sider the matter otherwise is to make class distinction and to encourage the destruction of business from one direc- af tion while legislating against such a re- sult from another. the effort .to prevent the setting up ef presses of the company throughout the country is a conspiracy in restraint of trade regardléss of the rights of other people, and it would hardly be expected that one*would be supported in any such course when another is not. The decis- ion'is therefore an important one. "EDITORIAL NOTES. The campaigns started not so long ago to “wear your old clothes” are now being | turned ‘into_“buy now” efforts.

Muller always rode about his estates on horseback attended by servants who were armed. All the local traditions represent him as of distinguished appearance, erect, agile, and possessing the air of command. Muller watched with the deepest interest the progress of the war of 1812; but when a sergeant was sent by Captain Hurd to warn him to ‘appear at general training, armed and equipped as the law directed, he declared to one of Fis tfusted super- intendents that he had been grossly in: sulted. He said that it was an outrage for one who had been a. zemeral of divi- sion and a participant in the making of three treaties to be asked to do menijal military service. This was one of fhe few occasions upon which he allowed fhimself to speak of his past history. During all his sojourn the wilderness he received Rumerous pa- pers frém abroad. It was very common for him to comment upon the nrogress of Bonaparte, and when news ciune of his disaster in Russia Muller was overjoyed and began to make preparations to return home, and when the overthrow of Bona- “No indeed,” I replied. “I'm the’ ‘Ir_\ly Some are at the junior are messing for practice In But don't look so despairing| 1t the It they don’t. 11 start a detall right away to search.”; “There, captain,” said the cglonel ad- ‘is an example of prompt ac- on.” and I r\a laughingly away.

Those who had carefully studied the events of the time and knew the his- tory of the royal family of France be- lieved that Muller was a Bourbon prince hiding from Bonaparte. The physician once said that Muller was “gousin . the second to the Duke of Angouleme,” but the belief generally is that he was" & member of the Bourbon fagily who, on the abduction of Bonaparte, was restored to his royal privileges. By many it was supposed that the mys- terious American visitor wasq no _other than the Count of Artois, Who had been nished from France by Napoleon, and who later governed that country as Charles X. Only a man with such cun- ning as he is credited wit'i possessing could have concealed his identity in the wilds of Madison county. The Count of Artois was of the right age, 51 in 1808, had a sufficient rmotive and answers in character ‘and-in methods of amusement to Louis Amathe Muller.
