INsTRUCTS THE COURT.
Ex-senator Edmunds Suggests That
it Review the Transmissouri Case.

it Review the Transmissouri Case.
! Washington, Feb. 26.-The argument
of the Joint Traffic association case has
| been concluded in the United States
| under advisement. Ex-senator Ed
munds was the first speaker. He ap-
| peared on behalf of the railroads. The
| object of the associations agreement
was, he commended only to secure Justice
| and fair play among the roads and to
! the public at large, all being interested
in securing uniform and stable rates.
Mr.. Edmunds dWelt upon the import
ance of proper cooperation between
fconnecting lines and said that the
| agreement complied fully with the legal
antitrust law was made the subject OF
a critical examination and the sugges-
ton was made that the court, with
great propriety, could review its decis-
ion in the transmissouri case, in which
it was held that this law was applicable
to railroads.
He criticised that decision as some
what indefinite in its requirements,
holding that the only restraint refer
red to in it was that of a general char
acter and that 1t was not to be inter
| preted as referring to restraints which
were not injurious to trade.
Mr.. Phelps closed for the railroads.
He commended that the regulation of
competition was a state matter, and not
a national matter, nor in any way in
vOlVed in the regulation of interstate
commerce; but said if it was to be held
to be a national matter contracts for
the regulation of competition must be
decided each upon its individual merits.
Mr.. Phelps asserted that there was no
public necessity for such infringement
upon private rights as was cOntempla-
ted
Mr.. Richards, followed Mr.. Phelps in
closing the argument for the govern
ment. He spoke of the vast interests
involved, saying that on the one side
! 81 of the great railroads, representing
81, SOC, O00, 900 of capital, were arraigned
against the general public.
Mr.. Richards replied to Mr.. Carriers
contention that an agreement for the
restraint of competition was not a re-
Straint of trade, asserting the contrary
to be true, and that a contract which
stiles competition does restrain trade.
| The traffic associations agreement, Mr..
Richards commended, wipes out all COM
petition by leaving it to a central auth
GRITTY to make the rates, thus taking
that power from the individual lines.
The interstate commerce commission
could not prescribe rates, and it was not
reasonable that the railroads should be
allowed to constitute a tribunal of their
own with that power. He said that to
give great railroad associations the
power to fix rates would be to render
them so obnoxious that the public
would not tolerate them.
Mr.. Richards maintained that no
court had ever held that the freedom
of contracts on the part of railroads
went to the extent of allowing the
would give them a monopoly by fixing
arbitrary rates. Being public agencies,
the roads were prOreply held to be sub
ject to government control in the max
ing of contracts among themselves. Mr..
Richards here concluded.

NO RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Members Get Their Work in on the
Sundry Civil Bill.

Washington, Feb. ga long and
somewhat exciting debate over the
question of river and harbor appropri-
atoms was precipitated in the house
during the consideration of the sundry
CIVIL appropriation bill
1t was practically agreed by all those
who participated that there would be
no river and harbor bill at this session
OF congress, and this led Mr.. Moody to
attack the contract items carried in the
sundry civil bill He selected an ap-
preparation of $3.50, 900 for Rackland
Me, which is in Mr. Dingley's district
and his remarks in denunciation of
what he termed favOritism, approach
ed the sensational.
Mr.. Dingley denied that he had ever
suggested the appropriation to the COM
mittee on appropriations or any indi-
Vidua1 members of the committee. 1t
was intimated that there was a plan to
deteat all the items in the bill, so as to
force consideration of a general river
and harbor bill, but this intimation was
not borne out by the vote,up the
amendment upon which the bill rested
only four pages Of the bill were dis
posed of.
When the item appropriating 100000
for San Pedro, Cal, was reached, there
was some debate, in the course OF
which Mr.. Cooper (Rep. Wis., reviewed
the whole history of the protracted con-
Monica, characterizing it as the most
astounding chapter in our legislative
history. If there was anything in the
bill that ought to pass, he said, it was
this.
The item passed without amendment.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
secure consideration of the bill passed
by the senate for two additional regi-
ments of artillery. but on objection from
Mr.. Cox Dem. Temp it went over.

AFTER ONE THING.
A Philosophers Statement That Hap

A Philosophers Statement That Hap
piness is the One Object of Life.
Did you ever think of it, that happf-
ness, the pursuit of, attainment to, and
possession of happiness is the one
great prevailing and animating motive
of humanity.
Every act has for it immediate or
far away object, happiness. This is
the goal, alike of the child at play the
burglar at his nefarious occupation, or
the business man striving for gain.
The statement will bear careful
thought and then comes the thought
that unless we keep health, we cannot
secure happiness, no matter how much
money we earn or what position of
prominence we attain to-
When one steps upon the springy
sod and into the warm sunlight of an
early day in June, while the soft teas
ing breezes strokes the cheek, the birds
chatter to tell how happy they are and
all through ones being silently courses
a sturdy indescribable sense of perfect
bounding health and nervous poise,
the value of that health is better ap-
preciated when one realizes that with
out health all these destinations of
Mother Nature would appear cold and
fiat.
Peace and happiness are worth more
than much gold. The true road to what
we all strive for happiness, is to first
seek and hold fast to health. If daily
ails affect you try change OF diet rather
than drugging. No drugs on earth
will bring health unless the cause of
the disorder is removed. Try leaving
off coffee for ten days to a month. 1t is
an unsupported enemy to a large num-
Der of people.

food elements needed by nature to re-
build brains and nerve centers in var
ious parts of the body.
