The Supreme Court Decision.

1t is rather amusing to read the com
ments of the Independent, this week,
on the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of the
Northern Secureties Company. 1t is
very evident the editor of the Indepen-
dent is not acquainted with the politi-
cal composition of the Supreme Court,
or being acquainted with it, he did not
think it adv isable to mention the fact
every Democrat on the Supreme Court
decided against the administration.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
White, Peckham aud Holmes dissented
outright from the decision of the ma
jority. Fuller, White and Peckham
are the only Democrats on the bench
of the Supreme Court.
The editor of the Independent might
have stated further that the decision of
the minority was based upon the prin-
ciple that the Federal statute does not
apply to a state corporation. This
minority decision is only a fresh ap-
plication of the time-honored Demo.
cratic doctrine of States Rights. The
PRESS has the sincerest respect for the
courageous consistency of the Demo-
cratic Justices. AT the risk of being
accused of upholding the Trusts, they
adhered to the principles which they
have always regarded as fundamental
But, what shall we say of the candor
of a newspaper which for sake of MAX
ing little cheap political capital, OBJ.
scures the facts connected with an i'm
portant decision, and virtually repud.
iates one of its professed fundamental
doctrines.
The people have learned to respect
the wisdom, the integrity and the
courage of President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration. They. understand at
what risk the government has prose-
cuted the suit against the Northern Sc
cureties Company. The recent decis.
ion of the Supreme Court by a bare
majority (the Democrats all dissent
ing,) has convinced the people that
any Democratic campaign of Trust
smashing is idle wind and all bosh.
History is simply repeated in this case.

A Bad Drink.

A three year old son of Chas. A.
Clark, residing in East Emporium, had
a close call on Tuesday. Like most

concentrated lye. The life of the child
was saved by promptly giving it lard.

A Former Emporium Citizen Killed

Benz. j. Furman, aged SO years,
many years ago resident of Empori-
um, was killed at Richburg, N. Y,
March I'd, while working at one of his
oil wells. The supposition is that
while attempting to start the gas en-.
gine he fell his head being caught in
the fly wheel, which nearly severed it
from the body. Deceased leaves a
wife. Mr.. Furman was a prominent
oil operator and contractor and it is
said has drilled more wells than any
other one person in Allegany county.
He leaves in addition to his wife, three
sisters, Mrs. Anna Liston, Emporium;
Mrs. Sarah French, Tioga, Pa; and
Mrs. Joseph Sanders, of Austin, Pa.

of Emporium Lodge, F. & A M. Many
of our older citizns will no doubt be
panied to hear of his death. His fun
eral took place at Richburg, March 5th
and was largely attended. The

Criticism.

"Talk is cheap and for that reason
many persons are generally busy in fur
nishing good supply of it. 1t is a
common thing to meet with people
whose tongues seem to be pivoted up.
on the center, whose tongues seems to
have several vibrating ends. No mat
ter what the time, where the place and
what the occasion, they are always
ready to supply ceaseless torrenu of
talk. They seem never to be at loss
for subject. Now it is the latest
gossip, then it is sweeping criticism of
relatives, neighbors or public officials,
next wholesale condemnation of a
rival in business or society, again it
may be furious attack upon the char
acter or reputation of some unfortunate
who has fallen victim to their un-
licensed and unbridled rancor.
Criticism is of two kinds: it may be
favorable or unfavorable. The latter
is vastly in preponderance, lagely be-
cause humankind are selfish and are
very apt to cast shades and shadows
upon others in order that their own
little lights may shine with more bril-
liancy. Furthermore, it is much easier
to criticise unfavorably, as most people
of this kind find 1t less difficult to
falsify than to tell the truth.
Persons that are always ready to
pass harsh judgment should be avoid
ed. Trust them not, they are fooling
you. Do not lend ready countenance
to their slanderous attacks upon other
people. Be quite sure that as soon as
your back Is turned they will malign
you even as they maligned others in
your presence. In ye good days of ye
Pilgrim fathers, gossip mongers and
drunkards were branded so that people
might show their evil influences. This
was custom that should not have
been allowed to fall into desuetude.
Our future Legislators should be in-
structed to rehabilitate the custom in
the form of a salutory statue. st.

Special Car for Greenville, Saturday.

The Maine Central Railroad Com
pany, always alive to the interests OF
Names recreation and sporting events
has decided to put on special car. at
tached to the 1920 train, Saturday,
which will run through to Greenville
without change. This will give the
large numbers who have notified the
secretary fhat they wished to go Satur-
day an easy and delightful trip to
Kineo. They will arrive at Greenville
at sos P. NJ, and have 20 miles of
charming steamboat ride up the lake,
and arriving at kineo at 7.O5. The
clerk of the KineO house will meet them
on the boat and assign them then
rooms and give them the keys, so that
visitors can go to their rooms at once
and register after the evening dinner.
1t will be well for those coming Mon
day the Fourth, to remember that this
same train will arrive at the same hour
and the room arrangements will be car
ried out as on Saturday. Another i'm
portant fact, is to remember that the
train that leaves Augusta, at els A. NJ
arrives at Greenville at 1850 and
Kineo, ut 1850. I'm time for dinner. by
taking this train you get rid of the
tumult of the Fourth. The fare from
Augusta, to Kineo and return is only
81 and hotel rates 81 a day. Better cut
this out for reference.
