pany, was created illegally, and is
therefore not in existence, and few
days after the same Judge, acting
alone, mudities that Judgment and ad-,i
mits the merger company is legally in
existence by issuing n decree allow
ing the merger company 10 pay its div
idends. This defeat of the. Attorney
General and the administration leaves
the matter in statu quo until the case
is decided by the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court should decide
that the merger in effect restraints
trade and confirms the Circuit Court
decision. there. would be no relief for
the people, for the merger railroad
stocks will be returned to their orig
inal owners. The only object of the
public in wanting the merger declared
void is to re-establisli competition, and
this is impossible, rs Mr.. Hill and MIR. 9
Morgan Jointly control the majority Of
the stock of the railroads and of
course will not enter into competition
with themselves. Competition ended
when they brought the control of the
competing railroads under one manage
ment, and no law can prevent one
man or two men owning stock in two
competing railroads. and now they
own controlling interest of both rail-
roads, from ceasing to compete one
against the other.
If the administration and the Attor->
ney General had expended half the
time and money of some of the indus
| trial trusts that are charging the PEG.
pie so exorbitantly for their products,
the result might have been of much
| greater value to the consumers. The
trouble is that the attempt to fight the
trusts is entirely a political play, and
not intended as a serious demonstra-
;tion against them. If it had been in
| tended 10 punish the most obnoxious
and oppressive trusts. the criminal sec
/ tion OF the antitrust law would long
ago have been invoked.
Now the Republican leaders have de-
termlned to throw overheard the Iowa
idea" and have agreed to let the trusts
continue their robbery under the pro-
| lection granted them by the Dingley
bill, there can be no reliance placed in
their efforts to prevent railroad consol-
idation.
If the merger suit would result in
lowering the freight and passenger
rates on the railroads 1t would be
great victory for the people, and the
administration would be entitled to the
credit. But no one claims that one
cent of the eXorbitant rates will be
taken off or that one dollar will be
saved to the people, even II the SUI
preme Court confirms the decision Of
the lower court.

JAMES E. sMALLwoop.

James K. SmallwoOd died ct his resi-
dence in this city last Wednesday
morning, after an illness Of three
weeks. Death waA caused from apo
ple4y, superinduced by old age. Mr..
snlallwood WAS born In Harper's Ferry,
Louden county, Va, February IS, 1924,
and at time Of his death was 70 years,
months and 8 days Of age.
In his earlier years Mr.. Smsllwood
settled in Princeton, KY, where he
married Miss Julia Fowler, daughter
Of Judge Littleton Fowler. Two chill
dren, Mrs. Rosa v. Marshall of Denver
and Miss Julia Smallwood of Kansas
City, Mo-, were born Of this marriage.
In 1852 Mr.. Smallwood, becoming i'm
bued with the California gold fever,
then at its height, started for the scene
ofexcitement. At Independence, No.,
his wife died and was there buried.
After three years among the placer
mines of California, Mr.. Smallwood re-
turned to Independence. Here he en-
gagged in the merchant tailoring busi-
ness, and in September, 1868, was mar
ried to Miss Mary H. Sheldon, who
survives him. Seven children were
the fruits Of this union, five of whom
are living and were present at the OBJ
sepuies. The sons and daughters are:
Mrs. George w. Putnam Of Salt Lake,
Mrs: John J. Harris and William S.
Smallwood Of Dolores, L. L. Small
wood Of Pueblo and O. l.. Smallwood
Of Durango.
Mr.. Smallwood was we'll known
throughout the West, especially in
Colorado. He was among those who
braved the dangers incident to the
early settlement Of our own state, hav-
ing arrived in Denver April 20, 1859,
the same date as the printing plant of
the Rocky Mountain News. Denver
was at that time nothing but wilder
ness, and the stream Of gold-seekers
was pouring into Gregory diggings.
Mr.. Smallwood moved to that locality
and at once started teams across the
plains laden with supplies for the
miners. He located his supply store
at Eureka gulch, three miles above the
present site Of Central City. In 1860,
in partnership with Charles d. Lucas,
he surveyed and plated the present
city of G0lden-Jsferson county now,
then known as Jefferson territory. As
a strange coincidence Mr.. Smallwood,
while himself lying at Deaths door, re.
ceived the intelligence Of the demise Of
this eatly companion; who was a prom
inent citizen Of Kansas City. Others
of the trail blazers who were warm
personal friends Of Mr.. Smallwood
was the late Alexander Majors, the
veteran plainsman and freighter, and
Ex-Governor William Gilpin, the first
governor Of Colorado. For thirty years
Mr. Smallwood was resident of Dem
yer, removing from there to Dolores
two years ago. Ifiterment will be in
the family plat in Riverside cemetery;
Denver. During Mr.. Smsllwood's res
idence in Dolores he has made many
warm personal friends who will greatly
miss him, all Of whom sincerely regret
his death and with whom Tine STAR
joins in extending sincere and heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
