believe that that great cooperative
ews-gathering and distributing
institution is trust" 1t is a dodge
of the "outs" against the "ins'; it has
no foundation.
The whole question has just been
most exhaustively passed upon by the
Supreme court of Missouri, state
conspicuous for it's antagonism to
trusts. The Missouri court differs fiat
ly from the Illinois Supreme court
which held some months ago that the
corporate form of the Associated Press
before it's recent reorganization was in
restraint of trade. Following are some
pregnant extracts from the Missouri
opinion:
at is part of every mans civil rights that he
be left at liberty to refuse business relations with
any person whomsoever, whether the refusal rests
upon reason is the result of whim, caprice,
prejudice or malice" Cooley on Torts, 27s. Bus.
mess relations must be voluntary in order to be
consistent with civil liberty.
Every one is at liberty to gather news; and the
fact that has greater facilities or finances for
gathering or transmitting news. or that the busi-
ness has grown into one OF great magnitude,
widespread in its ramihcations or that mere in
corporation has been granted a company organ.

regulate what before incorporation was but nat.
nral right. We're the rule otherwise than as just
stated the effect would be to deprive person
OF right to pursue any lawful calling or to con-
tract where and with whomsoever and at what
price he will.
The ruling was upon the application
of the ST. Louis Star for writ Of man.
damus to compel the Associated Press
to furnish its news report to that news
paper. Counsel for the applicant con-
tended that the Associated Press was a
monopoly but the court secuted this
idea. saying very pointedly, "the addi-
ton Of one more monopolist to a mon-
opolistic organization would not lessen
it's monopolistic features or abate its
vicious tendencies. But there Is moth
ing mere in which monopoly can at
tach. The business is one of mere per-
sonal service, an occupation. There
is no right Of property in the news it.

ed mo special or exclusive right or
privilege by the state nor has it re-
ceived any benefits from that quarter"
Nor has the Associated Press acquired
any additional right by reason of its
incorporation to that it possessed be-
fore.' The opinion quotes with ap-
proval the decision of the New York
court that the Contract between the
members of the association is mutual
and is for the common benefit, and so
is supported by sufficient considera-
tion." The provision of that contract
that none OF the members shall con-
tract with hostile news associations is
held mot to exceed the proper bounds
of self-protection."

General Lees recent talk at st. Louis
in which he remarked that the Ameri-

would doubtless make mischief but for
the fact that the Cubans as well as all
others probably realize by this time
that General Lee Is not the whole
American people.

There is little encouragement for the
third party movement in the Prohibi-

be sure, II was 78,eS5 more than the
vote for Lowering in 1895 but 1t was
also less by 5s,6aS than the vote for
Tidwell in 1892. AS protest the Pro-

Do you believe, Mr.. Advertiser, that such prices
as are mentioned in the left hand column we're
ever made with any idea OF enforcement? This
is not an obsolete card-in fact, it was issued
later than The Tribune's. Is there an advertiser
in the city of Scranton paying s26 per month for
4-inch ad. on yearly contract, even in pre-
ferred position? Gentlemen, if you are paying
more than $l5 month in paper OF this kind
you are paying more than your competitors. II
1t is necessary to ''get the business" the price
Is $l2.
Is it not better and faircr to have one price to
all for the same service rather than to do some
business at cost and make others pay all the
profit?
Think it over!

eating Plant on Channel Wharf
Electric company's Se~er-Hiio
Band May Play al Sunday Races

The territorial executive council N
session yesterday morning considered
several matters of minor public In
portance.
Land Commissioner Brown read two
letters from purchasers OF 0lsa lots
in which they stated that the lots ara
now in possession OF squatters and
the purchasers would like restitution
NO action was taken on the matter.
Treasurer Lansing spoke about the
application of Akona Of Waimea for
q liquor license and asked II there was
any possible way by which the license
could be granted. The council held
that it could not be allowed as the law
prevents one individual from holding
both a mercantile and liquor license
at the same time.
Mr. Lansing spoke OF letter from
Tax Collector WIifong or Hilo which
asked if the government had any OBJ
lection to him accepting the office OF
United States Deputy Marshal in adii-
ton TO his present office The letter
was referred to the attorney general
for an opinion.
Superintendent McCanuless OF the
public WORKS department read letter
from Dr. Carmichael, the federal quar-
antIne officer. relative to the construc-
ton of fumigating plant on the Chan
mel wharf. There being no objection
Mr.. McCandless was authorized to
consent to the request.
Mr. McCandless read letter from
the Hawaiian Electric Company ask
ing permission 10 lay water pipe from
the company's plant 10 the sewer IN
Alakea street to carry on the waste
water map showing the route ac-
companied the letter The council
recommended the superintendent 80
allow this permit on the condition that
the company put in a catch basin at
| the corner of Alakea and Halekauwila
streets to carry standing water that
may collect after rain storms.
j. Wilson of Hilo was present at the
meeting with a request TO allow the
| Hilo band to play at the Sunday races
at that city. AS a benefit to the public
| the meeting favored the idea provided
| the band adhere to the same rules that
| the Hawaiian band of Honolulu is re-
quired to follow.

right therein, as recommended in the

forth that the title to lands at wal

goes on to say that 1t was the lnten-

such have appeared in the inventory
