ANTITRUST LAW VOID.
Supreme Court Declares Illinois Stat
ute Unconstitutional.


ute Unconstitutional.
The United States Supreme Court has
handed down decision holding that the
Illinois antitrust statute is unconstitu-
tional. 1t is stated in the decision that
the law is void because of the provision
exempting agricultural products and live
stock.
This decision is of the utmost interest,
not only to the people of Illinois, but TO
corporations which desire to do business
in the State. The judgment was render
ed in the case of Thomas Connolly and
others against the Union Sewer Pipe
Company of Ohio, and was delivered by
Justice Harlan.
Outside of the Texas statute the Illi-
nois antitrust law has been the most
stringent in the country and many corpo-
rations have moved headquarters to 9th
err States to avoid it, Hundreds of cases
are in the courts against corporations for
failing to comply with various provisions
of the antitrust statute. and these cases
will be affected by the decision.
The decision Of the Supreme Court up
holds an opinion handed down by Judge
Kohlsaat in January, 1900 The Illinois
jurist based his opinion on the same
ground as the higher court, teking excep-
ton to the section which exempts from
its provisions the agricllturist and stock
raiser. Judge Kohsaat held that the
statute was tainted with class and spe-
cial legislation and was in contra ention
of both the federal and State constitu-
tions. In his decision the judge refused
TO confne his finding to the clause in
question. but placed the ban on the entire
act. which is known as the Illinois anti
trust law Of 1870"
The objectionaOIe part Of the law to
Judge Kohlsaat and the Supreme Court
is section 8, which contains these words:
The provisions of this act shall not APP
ply to agricultural products or live stock
while IN the hands Of the producer or
raiser" Judge Kohlsaat held that this
clause rendered the whole act void.

BELIEVES IN THE LASH
FOR WIFE-BEATERS

State Senator Puryear has introduced
bill in the Kentucky Legislature which
provides a punishment of forty lashes
on the bare back for wife-beating. A
similar bill was introduced two years
ago and failed to pass.
The Puryear bill is a little different
from any wife-beating measure yet pro-
posed. 1t Furnishes only in case of brutal
beating, still it does not state what shall
constitute brutal beating" On that
point Senator Puryear declared it would
not be difficult for the court to decide,
and he understands it to be a beating by
which bodily marks may be apparent.
The Senator draws fine line Of dis1ne-
ton in saying: Il admit there may be oc-
casions when a husband should not be
punished for slapping wife Of a hateful
and tantalizing nature. But no man
should be allowed to be brutal to WON
