Justice Whites Dissent. .

Justice Whites opinion was of consider
able length and required more than an hour
for it's delivery He based his remarks upon
what he said were the two principal aues-
tons at issue, which were, Does the anti
trust act when rightly interpreted apply to
the acquisition and ownership by the North
ern Securities Company of the stock in the
two railroads, and, second. if it does had
Congress the power to regulate or control
such acquisition and ownership"
In considering the question of power he
proceeded on the assumption that the anti
trust act forbds the acquisition of ma
jority of the stock of two competing rail-
roads engaged in interstate commerce by a
corporation. but he held that the point at
issue really was whether congressional SUI
pervison extends to the regulation of the
ownership Of stock in railroads. which is he
said, not commerce at all. He dwelt on the
necessity for observing this distinction.
Does" he went on, THE delegation of an
thority to Congress to regulate commerce
among the states embrace the power to
regulate the ownership of stock in state cor
poratlons because such corporations may be
III part engaged in interstate commerce?
Certainly not, if such question is to be
governed by the definition of commerce a
given In the case of Gibbons agt Ogden
He then announced his opinion to be that
STOCK ownership in a state corporal ton can
not be said to be in any sense traffic be-
tween the states or intercourse between
them. Power to control the owners hin of
interstate railroads, he commended, neces-
sarily would embrace their organization
Hence 1t would result said the Justice
that 1t would be in the power of Congress
to abrogate every such railroad charter
granted by the state from the beginning if
Congress deemed that the rights conferred
by such state charters tended to restrain
commerce between the states or to create a
monopoly concerning the same Besides. If
the principle be acceded to it must in rea-
son be held to embrace every consolidation
or state railroads which may do an inter-
state commerce business. even although
such consolidation may have been expressly
authorized by the laws of the states creating
the corporations" 1t also he argued would
overthrow every state law forbiddmg con-
soltdation.

Justice White said that the evil soupbt

Evil Sought to Be Re,nedied.

Justice White said that the evil sought
to be remedied in this case is the restraint
OF interstate commerce. yet the decree"
he said, whilst forbidding the use of stock
by the Northern Securities Company au-
thorized its return to the alleged conspira-
tors and does not restrain them from ex-
ercis1ng the control resulting from the
ownership. II the conspiracy and combina-
ton existed and was illegal my mind fails
to perceive why 1t should be left to pro-
duce Its full force and effect in the hands
OF the individuals by whom it was charged
the conspiracy was entered into"
He contended that ownership by an indi-
Vldual is equally repugnant to the anti
trust act with ownership by corporation,
After quoting many authorities in support
OF this contention that the acquisition and
ownership Of stock in competing railroads
organized under state law by several per-
sons or by corporations is not interstate
commerce. and, therefore, is not subject to
the control of Congress- Justice White said
that the cases in the court are all con-
sistent, III only the elementary distinc-
ton upon which they proceeded be not OBJ
scured that is. the difference which arises
from the power of Congress to regulate in
terstate commerce on the one hand and it's
want of authority on the other, to regulate
that which is not interstate commerce.
Indeed, he added, 1.-The confounding and
treating one. things which are wholly
different is the error permeating all the
contentious for the government" Justice
White took issue with the proposition of the
government that congressional power over
interSta te commerce includes authority TO
regulate the instrumentalities of such COM
merce and to regulate the ownership and
possession of property II the enjoyment Of
such rights would enable those who pos
sess them IL they engage in Interstate COM.
merce to exert power over the same.
The proposition, he asserted, only states in
another form that the right to acquire the

The dissenting justices, incIhding Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices White, Peck

giving their reasons for nQf agreeing
with the majority of the court in the de-
cision reached. The first of these was de-
livered by Justice Holmes, and the second
by Justice White.

RAILROAD SUED FOR 2 CENTS

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
As a result of the cutoff order the
Pennsylvania railroad has been made de-
Cooper Johnson, a young lawyer of this
city, for the recovery of two cents with
interest The summons in the case was
issued by Magistrate German, and the
lawyer alleges that the two cents repre-
sents the value of a coupon good for a
ride of one mile which was collected from
him by the conductor of the Colonial ex-
press.
1t is said in the affidavit that the dis
tance from Baltimore, where Mr.. John
son boarded the train on Monday. to
Broad Street station, Philadelphia. is
95.3 miles, while the distance to West
Philadelphia station is only 941 miles. De-
spite the fact that the Colonial express
does not go into Broad Street station
Mr.. johnson claims that although he pro-
tested he was compelled to give the con-
ductor coupons for ninety-six miles. or
the distance to Broad street. When land
ed at the Thirty-second street station, the
lawyer informed the railroad officers
there that he had paid his fare as far as
Broad street, and asked that he be al
lowed to board a passing train and be
carried to his destination. He was told,
he says, that owing to the rules of the
company no one was carried from Thirty
second street to Broad street. 1t was
then that he determined to bring suit for
the recovery of his coupon.

Old society's "scratchbacks."

From an Exchange
What is known, what was known, in
society as the "scratchback," dates from
the sixteenth century but no known spe-
cimen exists that is of sufficient age to
support this theory, and it is more than
probable that 1t was the toilette table
of the eighteenth century lady only
which the scratchback graced. Some
times, indeed, 1t was actually worn hung
from the girdle, being in this case a
very dainty and costly affair, with ham
die of tortoise shell, mounted with sill
yer. or of silver gilt entirely, and
having jewelled rings on the fingers
IL the tiny ivory hand forming the
"scratcher."
Some scratchbacks of the old days
that have been preserved have whale
bone handles and ivory, Handicapped
heads One specimen recently shown in
a collection had hand of the most del
lcate and fragile type the bones faint
ly but clearly indicated, and the fingers
slim and very taper. Including the han
de- 1t was seventeen inches long An
other was plump and substantial, with a
rather thick wrist, measuring barely
twelve inches altogether. Its slightly
twisted handle was capped with silver
at the end. A third example had hand
two and a half inches long, and modelled
on a proportionately large scale, the
handle being nearly sixteen inches in
length

Southern Educational Conference

In the third week of April the edu-
cational organization, of which Robert
G. Ogden of New York is president,
will hold its annual conference in Bir-
mingham. The last conference was
held in Richmond in April of last year.
These conferences bring together edu-
Gators from all parts of the country,
and 1t is estimated that fifteen hum
dred persons interested in educational
work will attend the coming confer
ence. Among the notable men who
will be present may be mentioned
President Eliot of Harvard university,
President Harper of Chicago univer-
sity, Chancellor Kirkland of Wander
bilt university, President Alderman of
Tulane university, and DR.. Kent of the
University of Virginia.
The conference will largely consist
of southern men who know the educa-
tional needs of the south, and fine
representation Oh northern men from
the colleges and financial centers of
that section of the country will come
also. Tho north and the south will
confer together for the purpose of pro-
noting public education, thus advanc-
ing the interests of the entire country.
Birmingham should show its appre-
citation of the coming conference by
taking steps to provide an auditorium
in which its meetings can be held, pro-
viding for a dinner to the delegates,
and taking care of other details of a
large gathering. The session will ex-
tend over three days, and considerable
preparation against its coming should
be made.
It will pc the means OF bringing to
this city the brightest and finest men
in the land, and there is nothing we
can Go that will be too good for them.
Their mission is one of patriotism and
philanthropy, with no tinge of a selfish
or mercenary spirit, and Birmingham
will assuredly give such men a warm
welcome
