The supreme Court Trust Decision.

When, on Monday last, the Supreme
Court Of the United States affirmed the
decision of the inferior courts prohibiting
the Texas branch of the Standard Oil
Trust from doing business in Texas 1t
gave a new assurance to the American
people that, unlike the coordinate exec
utive and legislative branches Of the Gov
eminent, our Judiciary in its highest es-
tate is still free from that complete dom
nation by the trusts and monopolies
which characterizes and disgraces the
others.
It would be wrong to say that any num-
Der of intelligent citizens ever expected
that the opinion OF the Supreme court in
this case would be different from what it
actually was; but it must be admitted
that the outcome was watched for with
great public interest, not unmtNed with
anxiety, This was for the reason that
there was thought to be some ground for
apprehension that the direct issue in the
cause had perhaps been confused through
the early efforts Of those brilliant adyo-
Gates, Joseph II. Choate and Elihu Root,
who, in 1898, were the lawyers of the
Standard Oil Trust, but who since have
been made. respectively, Ambassador to
the Court of St James and Secretary OF
War. in recognition Of their arduous and
distinguished services to the interests
owning and controlling the present Ad-
ministration.
The case of Texas and the Standard Oil
Company was a simple one. The branch
of the corporation in question took out a
license to do business in the State In the
year 1889, when law governing the op-
Grafton Of trusts and combinations was in
force AS the Supreme Court holds, it
was therefore bound by that law. The
State charged the Standard OIL Trust
with violating the Texas ANTITRUST law
and revoked its license. Through those
sturdy pillars OF its strength and sue
cess in legal difficulties, Root and Choate.
the trust attempted to show that this
law was unconstitutional, but failed, as
Mr.. Justice McKenna, who prepared the
decision of the Supreme Court announced
that the constitutional question was not
involved Ia the main issue.
The important result Of the litigation
is that the American tribunal Of last re
sort has declared that whatever the law
Of 8 State may be restricting or regu-
latiug the operations Of trusts and COM
binations in restraint Of trade within its
boundaries, any such trust or cOmbina
ton undertaking business in such State
is firmly bound to obey such law, and
falling to do so may be prohibited from
further pursuing its business in and ex-
PEELED from the State territory.

The writer remembers n good many
years ago when the late Ezekiel Clarke
was a member of the state senate from
Johnson county. 1t is well known that
the senator or member from johnson
county is always expected to get
large appropriation for the state uni
versity. To fail would be political
death. Senator Clarke was anxious
TO succeed and during the early part
of the session voted for everything.
If another senator had bill, all he
had 10 do was to go and whisper in
EZekief.S ear. and he would vote aye"
One day. however. Ezekiel came into
the senate with hair cut and clean
shave. He sat upright in his seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
State Senator George L. Wright look
ed across to where the senator from
johnson was sitting and inquired what
change had come over the senator
from johnson county. The other SEN
ator replied that the appropriation bill
for the state university had now pass
ed both houses, and the senator from
Johnson was going TO make up for
lost time.
Clarke kept on punching heads until
the senator from Jefferson, Moses \.
McCoid. rose and solemnly introduced
n bin for an act entitled AN act
repeating the appropriation for the
state university" \ broad smile pass
ed around the room. and everybody
except the senator from Johnson saw
the joke. But the spirit of levity pass
ed away from Senator Clarke. He at
once assumed his humble attitude. and
the other boys voted him as usual dur
ing the remainder OF the session.-Des
