PARAGRAPHS
Picked Up by the Man About
Town.

Yesterday looked more like carna-
ton day than the day set apart for
it by congress.
It is rumored there is considerable
gambling going on about the city.
Men who can i'll afford it are
squandering their money.
The United States Harvester com
pany is now located on south seventh
street and are conducting business in
the offices recently built for them.
While the structure IS not imposing
in appearance, it is comfortable and
answers the purpose well.
Wouldn t it be just too grand if
our citizens on coming up town some
morning would find the Main street
bridge raised and Holland palace cars
running under it? It seems as if it
will have to be done in some Provi-
Dental way.
A livery barn wouldn't be any
more of a nuisance on north tenth
than on south tenth or on Main.
Now that spring is opening up,
why don t some of our monied men
who have the interest of the city at
heart build a number of houses that
would rent at ten and eleven dollars.
1t would be a great thing for Rich
mond and a blessing to men of mod
crate means. Who will be the first
to make the break?
In talking with several persons
from Franklin township all seem in
favor Of giving the $4,000 subsidy to
the c., G. & r. The building of this
line into Bethel would be big thing
for that part Of the county.
Some day Richmond will be town
Of $4,000 inhabitants That is we
hope it will be. That number of peo-
pie make splendid city, and, if we
want a city of the size named, we
must be up and doing. Last night s
meeting Of the South Side Improve
ment association has the right ring
to it.

MERGER DECISION
Brief Reference to Some of the Re.
strictions.

In the December number of the
Yale Law Journal Daniel H. Cham
berlain, formerly Governor of South
Carolina. maintained that the North
ern Securities decision must be ia
vorable to the government because Of
the opinions delivered by the SUI
preme court in the following three
cases L. S. We. Freight Association,
U. S. VS. Joint Traffic Association,
and Addystone Pipe and Steel Com
pany VS.. L. S. Notwithstanding
those cases, however, the division Of
the bench was the close one Of five to
of opinion among the majority. More
over, speculation as to the mature of
the decision varied up to the time of
its announcement, and the triumph of
the government will arouse a lively
and sensational interest in every part
Of the country.
This interest is explained by the
notoriety and the Importance Of the
SlEu021G WHICH leu 10 InC deCISlOA
and by the effect which will be antici-
pated from the decision itself. One
is tempted to apply to the judgment
of the court the words which Mr..
Chamberlain applied to the decision
of the court Of appeals with which it
lharmonizes cit will be monument
and beacon marking a great victory
in the long and perilous struggle of
justice and right against the DONNA
ton of individual and corporate greed
and of individual and corporate
wealth. For it is in the. highest
sense popular, and we should say that
it must be determinative against GER
tain kinds Of monopoly were it not
for the lingering doubt that is due to
the fearful and wonderful ingenuity
of our captains of industry and Ma
poleons of finance. But in any event
it must put that ingenuity to a severe
test, for its definitions are of very
restrictive nature, as will be seen by
a brief reference to some of them.
First Railroads are clearly in
Guided within the prohibitions of the
antitrust law, and mergers such as
this one are trusts within the mean
ing of the act.
Second-The subterfuge in the
plea that the owners of railroad stock
had a right to sell to the trust, and
that the trust had right to buy is
| unavaillng because the court sticks to
the main point that the corporations
existed to restrain commerce.
Third The power of Congress to
control interstate commerce is COM
plete.
Fourth-All contracts, whether
they are reasonable or unreasonable,
! which are in restraint of trade are
fprohibited by the law.
Fifth-The fact that such cor
poration as the Northern Securities
Company gets its charter from state
does not absolve it from obedience to
federal law.
Men who now attempt what Hill
and Morgan attempted may be sci
down as conscious lawbreakers, what
ever their methods. The decision de
stroys the old sophistries at the very
least and puts lasting stigma upon
capitalistic anarchy.

The question Of rearranging the de-

by the Cabinet for the present. It was

was that the sentiment for beginning the
day earlier was about counterbalanced
by the feeling in the other direction, ano
that It would be best TO let matters rest

NOT SENDING TROOPS

Secretary of War Disclaims Any
Probability of a Clash Between
That Country and This.

The Secretary OF War this afternoon
made the following official statement:
The publication In various quarters,
OF news indicating that the Government
is preparing TO send troops TO the
isthmus to carry on military operations
against Colombia. has been the source
Of considerable annoyance to the Ex-
ecutive and to the War Department.
No state of war eists between the two
countriesi no Inauguration of hostnities
is contemplated by the Government,
and no preparation for war is being
made
1T is not believed by the President
nor by the Secretary OF State that any
occasion for the employment OF troops
on the isthmus is likely 70 arise They
have used their utmost efforts 10 con-
vince General Reyes and the Bogota
officials Of the friendly intentions OF
this Government toward Colombia, and
OF their readiness 20 use their good
Offices in the settlement OF any ques-
tions In dispute between Colombia and
Panama
II IS difficult for them TO believe the
authorities in Bogota can be so blinded
by passion and prejudice as 70 declare
war against us; and even II this ruin
Gus step should be taken by Colombia
this Government would be in no haste
to respond to her challenge
THE President makes all possible al
lowance for the natural excitement in
Bogota over a state Of things for which
the Colombian government is alone re-
sponsible and OF which it was fully
forewarned. But the Colombians must
sooner or later recognize the Irresistible
force Of accomplished facts, and the
sooner this Is done. the better for all
parties. We have done them no wrong;
we would like TO be Of service to them;
If they are wise. they will not put 1t
out Of our power 70 help them by any
act of rashness and violence"
