.. i.
The Cedar Rapids Republican dis
courses as follows upon the attempt of
the English to make 1t appear that the
Beers are trying to drive them out of
Africa and provoked the war for that
purpose:
1t is evident that the burden of the
war operations in South Africa is q
heavy one for England. Chamberlain
has added to the burden by his indis.
Greet remarks in defiance of France.
Some English papers are now trying
to make out that the Beers are really
the imperialists and that they have for
many years been meditating an attack
on the British in South Africa with the
intention Of driving them out of the
country entirely. But Is not this theory
strangely at variance with previous
assertions, namely, that the Beers are
snunprogressive and indolent people?
II they have really imperialistic de-
signs are they not worthy to be ranked
with the British and the Americans as
forces in modern civilizationp

Trusts Given a, Body Blow by the
United States Supreme Court.

Trusts Given q, Body Blow by the
United States Supreme Court.
On Monday of this week the United
States supreme court decided the Adj
son pipe case against the trust, which
for some time past has been fixing the
price and limiting the production of
gas and water piping. The court holds
that an injunction should issue to re-.
strain the trust from continuing to
transact its unlawful business. A writ
of Injunction is capital remedy in
such case. The court has the power
topunish by imprisonment for any VIC
lstion of this writ, and experience has
shown that nothing short of imprison-
ment has any effect upon the robber
classes. The court in its opinion says:
We have no doubt that where the di.
rect and immediate effect of contract
or combination among particular deal.
ers In commodity is to destroy com
petition between them and others, and
that the parties to the contract or com.
bination may obtain increased prices
for themselves, such q contract or COM
Dlnation amounts to q restraint of trade
in q commodity, even though contracts
to buy such commodity at enh anced
prices are continually being made.
This is the first decision of the court
which squarely holds that trust contracts
are within the constitutional clause rel
alive to interstate commerce. 1t would
seem as though the supreme court had
cleared the field and prepared the way
for the destruction of these unlawful
conspiracies. All that is necessary now
is the election of public officials by the
people instead of the trusts. No mat
ter what the law may be the trusts will
continue in business while they are &C

paign expenses of the public officers
who should prosecute them.
