than in the language of the best-known
railroad president in the United States. upon

said: The decision is sound law good

mate interests and for the country's well

THE country is to be congratulated that
the governments protest against the first
appearance of the holding company as a
device to control competing interstate rail-
roads has not been In vain. One of the
results of the governments action has been
to accelerate the return TO more sober
methods in commercial affairs. / think the
danger of uncontrolled personal power in
railroad management has been ayerted AS

railroads / have only to say: The govern
ment has never claimed that the law Ia

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Legislation
for the District of Columbia and the post

and President Mckinley had done much 10

The blight of the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution had reversed the pre-
vious great record of the South in producing
Presidents. but Mr.. Patterson expressed
the belief that Democratic nominee from
the South would not lose single electoral
vote to the party. In this connection he
mentioned as possible candidates John G.

minority floor leader, and Senator Bailey,
of Texas. The latter two names were APP
plauded.

dicates. If between other railroads there
exists contracts, combinations and conspir-
acies by which interstate commerce Is re-
strained then they violate the law.
During the trial and argument the gov
eminent paid no heed TO defendants con-
tention that the makeup of substantially
all the great American systems Of railroads
was on trial. The governments position
then, was that the question before the court
was the validity of the Northern Securities
device Its invalidity is what the court has
decided. The government is claiming nc
more now in respect TO this case than it did
before the bar of the court.
Il say this much, not because il is neces-
sary to give the country assurances that
the government does not mean TO run
amuck but because of the hysterical char
acter of that part OF the defendants case
and some utterances that followed the de-
ciSion of the court below"
