IHE TRUST" DECISION OF Tue sU.
PREME COURT.

II was at first thought that the deci-
sion made by the Supreme Court Of the
United States on Monday last in the case
of the United States vs.. Traffic AssoCia-
ton was a blow TO what are popularity
called trusts" or, in other words, 10
the principle Of combining resources and
efforts Of separate individuals for pri-
vate enterprises. Fuller knowledge of the
decision, however. makes it clear that
the constitutional questions involved in
the trust discussion are left untouched.
The actual point decided was that the
agreements between railroad corporations
whose lines cross the boundaries of
States. are forbidden by the Sherman
antitrust law which prohibits agree
ments in restraint OF trade between par
ties engaged in interstate or internation-
al commerce The court held that such
pooling agreements put restraint upon
trade and are, therefore, forbidden and
made void by the act. What effect this
decision will have upon railroad transpor-
tation remains yet to be seen, but 1t will

ORR RIGHTS As AFFECTED BY TUE
BLOCKADE.

Or. Lee Davis Lodge. Professor OF In
tcrnatlonal Law in Columbian University
delivered a lecture a few nights back
upon the Greco-Cretan situation, IN which
he said that the law Of the case as ie-
spoc,s the rights Of this country ana
others not participating in the blockade
are lust what The Times declared them
to be on Tuesday
In regard TO the published statement
that this Government has 5cen notified
by the six Powers that the blockade Is
in effect. and that the United states viii
DO expected to observe 1t, he saio that
an entirely new and unexpected question
in international law had arisen as lie
result OF this. lie considered the ground
that vessels Of no nation should be per-
mitted to send supplies TO the Greek soi-
diers in Canea or land supplies on the
island. entirely untenable, and he thought
II in direct antagonism TO Great Britains
action upon previous occasions. While
as he conceded the United States had no
commerce in the Mediterranean Sea the
Government, he thought, should not per-
NIT this precedent to be established, and
thought 1t should make solemn protest
against it as a duty TO Greece. as wei
as to It's own citizens.
We quite agree with Professor Lodge
in regard to this Governments duty. The
blockade IS a most palpable defiance Of
the rights Of countries which do not par
t!cipate in it, and should be protested
against: stu. IN view OF the fearful con-
sequences which the six Powers are seek
Ing to avert by this extraordinary pro-
ceeding, we have no doubt the largest
allowances will be made by all other
powers, and no one will take any steps
TO call the actual blockade in question.
II a general European war is to be the
result Of no blackade, and such a war
can be averted by the blockade, all civil

every country to submit TO it. lawful or
unlawful.
Still, very grave consequences may grow
out Of IT, The people Of Crete will soon
be pinchod for supplies. no doubt. and
the cupidity of our traders Will be Sc
riously tempted. They have the undoubted
right TO send supplies there. and if an
English or Italian, or other man-of-war.
should sink one Of our ships running their
blockade, there would be a tremendous
howl about it. Let ne all pray that the
thing may be got through with safely
and with no untoward accident OF this
SCrt.

GEoRGIA'. ANri-rKUsr LAW.

Speaking Of the antitrust laws we arc
interested to note that the most recent
Of these laws the Georgia law. is not
receiving the enthusiastic praise that
greeted it when it first spread itself on
the statute book. Indeed there are people
who are bold enough to say that IT has
done no good and others who even go SO
FAR as TO declare that the law is a posi-
tive injury to business.
The Savannah News, very fair and
sensible paper calls upon the author Of
the law to point out its benefits. 1t says
that il is opposed 10 trusts. but is OPP
posed to q law that does the trusts no
harm and does harm a large class Of
OF business men in the State Of Georgia
The News further tells Us that the
wholesale grocers of the State are unan-
lmous in their condemnation OF the law
and that the president of the Grooers
Association estimates that it takes $4,000
Il year out Of the pockets Of the whole
sale grocers OF Savannah. Estimating
on that basis tho News believes that the
law costs the grocers Of the whole State
at least $4,000 year.
This is most interesting matter. GER
tainly 10 The Times. which has held that
laws in restraint OF trusts cannot be en-
forced without INJECTING injury on other
business firms and Organizations.

\ sprcImEN OF PROTECTION.

Mr.. Dingley says that by placing wool
on the free list the Treasury lost S-l.O0O,-
900 revenue. and the farmers s3O,oOoooO per
year But he did not say how much the
people saved in cheaper clothes and cheap
er blankets. The Philadelphia Record.
which has been investigating the subject,
tells us that there are 3SOOO,00O sheep in
this country, against 100000 people. and
that the Dingley bill will force the people
to pay in increased taxes on woollen
fabrics about g per sheep. And all this
for the benefit Of about 100000 sheep own
ers. There we have protection shown up
in all its infamy llc many are taxed for
the benefit OF the few.

A MONUMENT TO COMMODORE
MAUEY.

Among the most notable tributes 10 the
merit Of a man which have been paid in
this generation was tho resolution offered
by Senator Chandler. Of New Hampshire,
I'm the Senate Of the United States. that
an appropriation Of $4,000 be made for the
erection Of monument in one of the
public reservations in Washington 10
Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury.
1t was fortunate for Senator Chandler
that he was thus enabled TO associate his
name I'm so worthy a manner with that
O, one Of the greatest souls and most
universal bcnefactors who has been vouch
safed TO mankind. We congratulate Mr.
Chandler and in behalf Of our Southern
people thank him for this act so grateful
10 us.
The notable feature OF this resolution
IS that 1t was offered by one who has
been-but We hope IS no longer-a re-
lentless South-hatcr. TO do honor TO one
Of Virginia's sons. who in her diFest
trials. was unfaltering i'm his devotion 20
her. and who never loved her more nor
chung TO her closer than when she was
PROSTATE and tramped by the very men
who would now erect a monument 10
him.
What Commodore Maury's services
have been not only to this country. but 20
