As the opinions in the Northern Securities
case are stGded In detail the progressive and
at the same tine conservative attitude of the
court is made manifest Ii IS not without sig
nihcance that the one Justice whose academic
utterances concerning the adaptation Of law 10
new conditions and popular aspirations had
caused him IN all forecasts 10 be ranked as an
opponent Of the merger should have written
one ~ The dissenting opinions. The indepen-
dence and openmindodnoss thus shown by Jus
tlce Holmes finds a parallel IN the concurring
pptnion OF Justice Brewer IN which he de-
clares that IN previous decisions the court bv
his own vote has gone too far In holding the
sherman law prohibitlve Of al contracts and
combinations in restraint OF trade, reasonable
as well as unreasonable.
Evidently Justice Brewer would have decided
sn favor % the Northern Securities Company II
he had not been convinced that the necessary
rcsult OF the merger was unreasonable restraint
of trade So. while four members Of the court
are prepared 70 follow in the old line Of for
bidding al combinations, regardless Of their
usefulness or necessity, and 10 60 to any length
requisite 30 make that prohibition effective,
there is no danger OF interference with reason
attic business operations. The dissenting Jus
tices are stin apparently ready to enforce the
Law against actual restraint of trade. even
ThoUgh 81 is reasonable. They object that the
peculiar form ~ combination which consists
merely o. common ownership 81 the competing
railroads Is beyond The reach Of the federal
government. Probably, therefore, they and Jus
flce Brewer. though FOR different reasons, would
3oin 10 prevent any extreme exercise o. federal
power against combinations which were bene-
fetal.
Their view is the natural outcome OF the
Democratic doctrine OF State rights and strictly
construed grants Of national authority in which
three OF the dissenting justices were nurtnred
The somewhat extreme expressions Of Justice
White about the destruction OF liberty and con.
Etitutional rights by the decision merely echo
the fears OF that school OF thought from the
beginning az every step toward the exercise o,
national power 10 the extent OF new national
needs Justice White argues that the right o.
the Northern Securities Company TO acquire
and control property is local and beyond inter
ference by the United States and says:

We publish in another column a vigorous ap-
peal from correspondent fer more liberal
treatment OF the federal letter carrier. This
faithful and hard worked servant OF the public
has had no advance in salary for many years.
despite the ever Increasing cost Of living and
the greater burden Of work thrust him
through the vast expansion OF the postal ser
vice. Congress treats most Of the employees Of
the government with marked generosity. There
seems to be no reason why class Of workers
as deserving as the letter carriers should not
enjoy the small increased allowance which they
now ask.

The first actual steps toward the
construction of a farmers railroad to
be made i'm the state of Washington
is now being made by the Farmers
Grain q supply company, of Spokane
and Cheney, which association of
farmers proposes to build a branch
line of road 35 miles in length, from
Connell to Fletcher, Wash, for the
purpose of tapping a rich wheat dis
trict not now reached by any rail-
road system and which produces a
large area of wheat every year.
The farmers have organized a COM
pany with capital stock of $500, GOO,
divided into $1OO shares The pro-
posed road will be owned exclusively
by the wheat producers, so it cannot
be made part of the competing lines
of the country. and raise freight rates
on them.
Fully one-half of the stock has al
ready been subscribed by farmers
whose land is adjacent to the line.
and solicitors are now at work dis
posing of the remainder of the stock
AS soon as the stock is sold and the
road assured. warehouses will be
built at different places along the
line, a train of cars and an engine
will be ordered, and the grade work
will be commenced.
The district to be tapped by the pro-
posed line is known as the Rattle
snake Flats, and is one of the richest
small territories in the Inland Empire.
At the present time the wheat is
hauled from 10 to 20 miles by wagon
and the output of the district is thus
reduced by the poor transportation
facilities. Land prices have advanced
40 per cent since the company was
formed and many buyers are in the
country.

CAUSE OF PNEUMONIA.
Steam Heat May BE Responsible i'm II
Large Measure.

Large MeaSufe.
New York, Dec. 9.-One of the
questions now being investigated by
the commission on pneumonia, of
which DIR. Thomas Darlington, presi-
dent of the board of health, is chair
man, is whether the luxurious steam
heated apartment of modern times is
not responsible in a measure for the
increase in the ravages of the dis
ease
During the past month there were
$50 deaths from pneumonia in Great
er New York. OF these, 461 were in
Manhattan and the Bronx and 221 in
the boroughs of Brooklyn. Queens
and Richmond BY far the greater
number of these deaths were in what
are known as apartment house dis
tricts.
Physicians who have been inter-
viewed on the subject of "the modern
flat as a cause of pneumonia" give
divergent opinions, but nearly all of
them state that the tendency to over
heating the sleeping apartment and
lack of ventilation undoubtedly are
increasing the inroads Of the disease.
