That lesson is that there ts adequate law to dea with monopoly, and that the elimMation Of that evil can be effected.” Whet superd tommyrot! What a lot of asses the editor must take the peopte to be, if he believes he Can cram such stuff dgwn their gullets! From the decision referred to the people know fist three things. These are: That the trusts are found guilty as charged; that nobody punt as a violator of law; that the trusts will continue In effect ‘as such under some new arrangement So that Cleveland, has a ‘and valug of the Sherman anti-trust law in accord with what the de cisions do to prices on of! and tobacco. Hang the theory and the ethics. IT'S THE COST OF THINGS! In both Standard and Tobacco cases the court has said, practically, “Thief, thou hast been stealing!” What do the people care about the adequacy of such decisions if the trusts, in the guise of thieves judictal Iy purged of their evil ways, go right on skinning the consumers? Harlan dissents against “sending the case back ‘with directions further to hear the parties so as to ascertain WHETHER A NEW CONDITION CANNOT BE CREATED tn harmony with the | law”—-that is, a new condition under which the tobacco trust can con- / @inve monopolizing the trade and charging the people what It likes, Bah! The Standard and Tobacco decisions are simply unv@ually high-toned efforts to KEEP THE GREAT MASS OF PEOPLE FOOLED ALL THE TIME. They will go into history with that other “sweep fing victory for the governmeat,” the decision tn the Northern Securities ase, a5 a thorough sweeping of dust into the faces of the people. Oh, Look Who’s Here * ®almy summer is well on the way, with all attendant delights and ‘evils, including the germ-bearing fly and the sportive youth who rocks the boat. A few days ago he made his annual Initial bow to the public In a Chicago park, capsizing a boatload of young people, who were only ved fronmdeath by timely and energetic efforts of spectators on shore. He is earlier than usual this year. ~ ntil the first blighting frost, every Sunday afternoon, every moon Hight night, will find him infesting parks, ogling every girl who passeth ‘Bis way, until his new handkerchief tie, upturned trousers and cute ‘Ways have made the desired hit. Someone always falls for his charms ‘That's the pity of it. When frost comes our hero bies him to Indoor entertainment, where this same subtie sense of humor prompts him to pull chairs out from unsuspecting victims and «nd them through life with spinal af . Now, while we're swatting the My and developing the stingless bee, Won't some enterprising sctentist kindly suggest some virus with which this dai i's cusé may be tnoculated, and painlessly but effectively | be put out of the public's way? Better Not Try It f F. G. Athearn, head of the bureau of economics of the Southern Pa- @ific railroad, warns the country that “hysterical restriction and con- | @emihation of the raltroads must cease.” He adds: “Were the rall- foads to cease their activities for one month, the want and suffering would be incalculable.” | Mr. Athearn is mistaken. He errs, as is conimon with most rail Foader managers, is giving no consideration to the fact that the rall- foads are public servants; that they owe certain obligations to the peo- ple, and are responsible thereto With a national administration knowing its duty, and possessing the courage to perform it, there could be no such thing as the railroads easing the activities for a month Upon any such attempt the gov- @rmment would be perfectly justified in taking possession of the rail Toads and operating them as public carriers. Mr. Athearn fs talking through bis new spring hat. He can’t gather up all the dolls and refuse to play. The people have some rights tn those dolls. Observations BS IF GEN.
