Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-12-16

1T must be remembered that under the
Constitution the District, in which the cap
ital of the country is located, must always
remain under the exclusive jurisdiction OIL
Congress and that the nation represented
by the federal government has property
interests here nearly, if not quite, as large
as those of the people of the District; and
it is not likely that the former will be will
ing to surrender into the hands Of the lat
ter the whole power of levying taxes and
expanding the revenues thus produced with
out retaining some controlling voice or IN
fuence in the matter except in the form OF
an appeal to Congress for adverse action
upon legislation supposed to be ln1mlcal to
its interests
The coming of a change in the form of
government at the national capital was
foreshadowed in the columns of The Star
in the late part of the year 1869, when the
paper was in the midst of it's fight against
what was commonly known as the City
Hall ring" The next spring The Star adj
vocated the election of Matthew G. Emery
as mayor of Washington in opposition to
Sayes J. Bowen, who was standing for re-
election and whom The Star held to be too
prominently identified with the ring Mr..
Emery was elected in June, 1870, and served
toriaI government was inaugurated The
bill providing for this class of rule was in
troduced in Congress in January, 1870.
The territorial form of government went
into effect May Is, 1871, and Governor H. D.
Cooke was inaugurated. Alexander r.
Shepherd was placed at the head of the
board of public works.
Later, when the bill carrying the i'm
provement loan was passed, The Star con-
graduated the people of the District, and
in response to the hopes expressed that the
money would be spent judiciously, said edi-
torially:
THE gentlemen composing the board have
all material interests well as valuable
regulations at stake on the issue of their
official course; and as they are possessed of
intelligence, skill strength, enterprise and
means, coupled with love for and faith
in the future of Washington, so they are

THE EVENING STAR OF
SHEPHERDS TIME.
BY r. T. SMALL.

When Alexander R. Shepherd and his CO.
laborers of the District government as 1t
existed from 1871 to 1874, were giving their
brains, their energies, their time and their
health to the then thankless task OF lifting
the national capital from the slough
of despond, they found The Evening Star
heartily in their support. The Stars infiu-

Rube Neil, Ed. Priest and Billy Bayless deserve credit for the manly way in which they kept the water stream playing on the fro Thursday night after most of the other citizens left for warmer hunks. It is nice enough to belong to 8 fire company when the poll-tax collector comes around, but the fire-fghter who stand in six inches of snow and water and holds to a hose on winters night, is the man who is the real volunteer fire man.

Everything is in the name when 1t comes to Witch Hazel Salve. K. C.. Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, discovered some years ago, how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is specific for piles. For blind bleeding. itching and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin disases DeWitt's Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless commercials. Ask for DeWitt's-the genuine. w. Fl. Timerhoff.

They will find by the time the authorities gets through with them that they will get a ride to Yuma where the climate on the "hill" will be plenty warm enough for them for sev- eral years to come.

that, during the eleven years since the pass
age OF that act, in many instances the stock
or a competing railway company has been ac-
quired by its competitor. or the shareholders
thereof; such acquisition including many OF
the principal railways doing BUSINESS through.
out the country. This has been done without
objection from any branch of the government
OF, the United States, and has invariably
proven beneficial to the railway companies
concerned and to the public; and those max
Ing sales OF stocks to this defendant had no
reason to believe that such sales were open
to any legal objection or:question whatever.
The answer says that no transaction in
connection with the Northern Securities
company has had any effect to restrain
commerce between states or with foreign
nations. II these, transactions should
have any such effect in the future it will
be remote, indirect and incidental and
nothing compared to the great trade ex
pansion which the promoters believe will
be the direct result.
Intent of Antitrust Act.
The defendant further says
First-The ANTITRUST act was not in
tended to prevent or defeat an enterprise,
in aid of a great competitive Interstate and
International commerce, merely because such
enterprise. may carry with it the possibility
of Incidental restraint upon some commerce,
trifling both as respects territory and
volume
second-Nor was the act intended to limit
the power of the several states to create
corporations, define their purposes, fix the
amount Of their capital, and determine who
may buy, own and sell their stock r
Third-Otherwise construed, the act would
be unconstitutional, because: ,s
The power to regulate commerce with for
eign nations and among the states does not
give congress the power to regulate any Of
the matters above mentioned in respect to
corporations created by the states, and be-
cause -
Persons may not be deprived of their prop
erty. without due process OF law, by taking
from them the right to- sell it as their inter
est may suggest. ."- .:a..
There is defect OF necessary parties de-
fendant because, as already set forth, the
persons who made sales Of stock of the said
railway companies to this defendant were
numerous, exceeding more than 1900 in num-
Der, and few of them had any connection
whatever in the planning or forming of this
defendant, and in their absence from this
litigation no decree can be made affecting
their rights in the premises
And this defendant denies all and all man
ner of unlawful combination and confed-
eracy wherewith 1t is by the said petition
charged, without this, that If there Is any
other matter cause or thing in the petition
contained material or necessary for this de-
fendant to make answer unto, and not here
in or hereby we'll and sufficiently answered,
confessed, traversed, and avoided or denied,
the same issnot true to the knowledge or be-
lief of this defendant all of which matters
and things this defendant Is ready and will
Ing to aver, maintain and prove as this hon
orable court shall direct, and humbly prays
to be hence dismissed, with it's reasonable
costs and charges in this behalf most wrong
