THE MERGER DECISION.


TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Northern Securities

monopolistic control of the great arteries of
commerce, the bounties of nature. and prod

country on earth. This great decision

who by cunning devices would create a new
kind of slavery OF their fellow-men in this
boosted land of freedom. 1t tells them in
unmistakable language where their con-
spiracies against the natural laws of trade
and commerce must end. ii they would keep
out of the penitentiary. The complete vindi-

ANOTHER TEST OF SPEED
PENNSYLVANIA AND VANDERBILT
LINES STILL STRUGGLING.
Former Wants to Carry United states
Go-Both Roads Make Fast Runs.

1t is stated that another attempt will be
made by the Pennsylvania to wrest some Of
the mai-carrying business between Chicago
and New York and vice versa from the New
York Central and Lake Shore. Efforts are
being made TO keep the matter quiet. One
test of the speed merits of the two systems
was made this week On Tuesday mail
trains on each road left New York at a. m.
and arrived at Chicago early Wednesday
morning, and it is said there was only
about thirty minutes difference the Lake
Shore train reaching Chicago first. 1t is
learned that both trains made remarkable
speed the Lake Shore maintaining a speed
OF seventy-five miles an hour over several
divisions. This is not the first time the
Pennsylvania has attempted to capture some
OF the remunerative mail business from the
Vanderbilt lines, but the former has been
unable TO meet the speed made by the Van
del bilt roads. Officials of the Lake Shore
and New York Central say they have no
fear of the speed test, and believe they will
continue TO show their ability to carry mail
faster than any other line.

PEELED its violators to test its virtues before
the court of last resort, and where it re-
ceived a new birth. The upholding of the
Sherman act is of no less Importance to
the liberties of the American people to-day
than the granting of Magma Charta was
to the English people in 1915 under King
John. 1t is true there are many great
monopolies in existence in this country, as
a result of the nonenforcement of the Sher-
man act, but we need no longer fear their
baneful influences because if they do not
have the wisdom to correct themselves We
have a sure cure for them.
The additional legislation that was sup
posed TO be needed to prevent the great cor
porations from swallowing up about every
thing in sight, in the light of the Supreme
Court decision in this celebrated case, is
not required. The Sherman act has been
thoroughly tested and has been found to
mean just about what il says, and its
language is certainly not ambiguous With
a few wholesome statutes by the several
States TO regulate and prevent domestic
monopolies, such are preying upon the
people of this and other States, the trust
and monopoly question will be settled for
all time to come. To the Republican party
is due the credit of cracking the hardest
nut of modern times The trusts still
have their seines, but are not likely to use
them. The plea of vested rights cannot
well be interposed by the trusts, for the
Sherman law was passed before their
birth. j. ii. CLAYPOOL.

A Colonization Move.

meeting of the Michigan Passenger AS
ISOLATION was held yesterday to consider
the colonizing movement in the State of
Michigan. The Ann Arbor, the Pere Mar
quette, the Michigan Central and the Lake
Shore are members and were represented.
Two other plans for colonization of north
ern Michigan lands were formulated. The
association Is TO be known as the Michigan
Colonization Bureau of the Michigan Pas
senger Association. The aim is to show
that upper Michigan is not great waste of
pine barren, but in reality a land of prom
ise for the man who is not afraid to be
pioneer In order TO gain a home. The
Toledo Blade says: Every well informed
person knows that land producing hard
maple, beech and other forest trees of the
hard wood variety is the most productive
in all kinds of cereals and vegetables and
there are thousands of acres in north Mich
lgan which have been bought by lumber
men and are now awaiting agricultural de-
velopment. The colonization bureau intends
to arrange series of excursions and the
fare Will be made low that prospective
purchasers can make trips at small cost"
