'In all questions Of manners a
young man should always bear in
mind that while politaness is good
trait to acquire, courtesy is infinitely
better" writes Edward Box on "What
Makes a Gentleman" in the July La
dies Home Journal. "Politeness is
manners, but courtesy is heart.
Mlnghug in good society can give us
that veneer which the world calls a
polish of manners, and true polite
ness is not 10 be made little OF nor
scoffed AT. Politeness is fine art
pure and simple, even at it's best. In
iinitely better is the cultivation of
that courtesy of refinement which
enters into the feelings of Others and
holds them sacred. What We want
our young men to have is courtesy of
manner not regulated by social code
or professional censor. II is idle TO
say that courtesy is relic of old
fashioned days and is no longer
looked for. 1t Is as much the current
coin of good society as it ever was.
More shan any other element OF grace
in our lives, it is Instantly felt and
recognized, and has an unfsiling in

Washington, Oct 26.-The United
States supreme court decided the Joint
Traffic association railroad case in
favor Of the United States and against
tie railroads.
Ihe case is considered one of the
most important that has ever come be-
fore the supreme court, not only to
the railroads, but to the general pub
lie, and because Of the vast railway
properties represented by the traffic
association. The association was
formed on Nov. 10. 1895, by thirty-one
railways, representing the great trunk
lines and their network Of branches.
The purpose Of the association, as
stated in the articles of agreement,
was "to establish and maintain rea-
sonable and just rates, fares and regu-
lations on state and Interstate traffic. .
a similar association, on smaller
scale, was established among South
western roads, known as the Trans
Missouri association. ~
These associations were soon at
tackled in the courts on the ground
that they were in violation Of the
sherman antitrust law, and also Of
the interstate commerce law The
Trans Missouri first reached the
United States supreme court, where,
IN a notable opinion, the court held
that the association was illegal, being
IN effect combination in restraint of
trade and commerce. and therefore
Vlolative Of the antitrust law. "
Although the Missouri case was con
sidered somewhat of test, vet the
Joint Traffic association prepared to
make a stubborn contest in support Of
its existence. The case against it was
begun on Jan. Z, 1896, in the United
States circuit court for the Southern
district of New York, the United
States being complainant and the at
torney general directing it's. course.
The case went against the government
in the lower courts, the circuit court
dismissing the bill, and the court of
appeals affirming the dismissal. The
government appealed to r, the United
States supreme court. @~#. ss
"a The main contention of the govern
ment was that the traffic agreement is
s q combination to prevent competition,
thus constituting a, contract in re-
straintt of trade and commerce. The
answer of the association maintained
the legality of the association on the
ground that the vast needs of COM
merce require joint action. and that
such action insures uniform and just
rates and prevents secret and unjust
discrimination. $50
Justice Peckham announced the de-
cisiOn. He said that the court could
distinguish no difference between this
case and that Of the Trans Missouri
case, decided year ago, which was
decided against the railroads. He said
the only new point involved was as to
the constitutionality of the antitrust
act. The court had reached the CON
clusion that as railroad corporations
performed duties Of a semi-public
character, it was within the constitu-
tional power of congress to regulate
them as provided by the antitrust act.
The opinion, which was very brief,
was concurred in by Chief Justice Ful-
Ter and Justices Harlan, Brewer.
Brown and Peckham. -Four justices
dissented, namely, Justices Field,
Gray, Shiras and White Justice Nc
Kenna took no part in the case, as the
prosecution of the case was begun
while he was attorney general.
