The cigarette trust has abandoned it's
factor agreement scheme by which it
sought to prevent those handling its
goods from handling those of other
concerns. The reason given is that as
several of the states have declared such
agreements to be illegal the trust will
do away with it altogether to avoid ex-
pensive litigation. But in another cir
cular the trust shows that it still ad-
heres to it's purpose to crush out all
competition in manner which hasn't
been declared illegal. 1t makes no
contract but announces that it may
from time to time make donations
OF money or merchandise to dealers in
recognition of their interest in dispos-
ing of the trusts goods. Where there's
law there seems to be a way to get
around it.

Lewiston Journal: The street rail-
road committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature has begun the practice OF
writing into all street railway charters
a provision FORGETTING the same II work
is not begun under it within three
years. This Is a needed step. III such
a provision had been put in the Meigs
elevated charter the marketable value
of that instrument would not have
been what it was. People who get
charters merely to speculate in and sell
will find this provision most discour-
aging one. The State of Maine has
suffered seriously from this sort of
speculation. Electric roads have been
held up by this pocketing business.
The days are near when IL is quite
against nature to keep boys and girls
shut up in schoolhouses. Why not
commission them to make expeditions
of discovery--to find new birds and
new snails and new plants-and make
the schoolhouse headquarters for COM
pairing notes?-Maine Statesman
There is much in this suggestion but
it Is little too extreme. More OF that
sort of work will doubtless be under
taken in the future. but IL will be
long time before all the discipline OF
close and continued application In the
schoolroom can be dispensed with.

party leadership, as tHey nave uoiic.
In some states in the South such a step
would ensure social ostracism but it is
evident that the constituencies Of these
members have outgrown such Stiffness.
Their course lends weight to the opin-
ion that one of the Louisiana senators
may be relied upon to support the
measure Indeed the bill is one on the
whole favorable to the South. 1t favors
her lumber, iron and coal interests and
affords substantial protection in other
ways. Now that the bill has reached
the Senate it's progress will be much
slower. 1t is not fair to expect such
speedy dispatch as that given it in the
House. First it must go through the
hands of the committee. This COM
mittee has previously been supplied
with all information respecting the bill
and ought at the present time to be
thoroughly informed upon it. Never
theless the committee will doubtless
exact liberal amount Of time for con-
sideration of the measure before re-
porting it to the Senate. So far there
does not appear to be any disposition
to filibuster to delay the measure and
there is in prospect no long fight over
schedules. but the general opinion
seems to be that the country may ex-
,, pect to wait at least two months before
final action is had.
