TIE DIFFERENCE IN PARTY PAPERS

We are always willing to give cred
il where il is due and We do not hest
tate to say that, from a Republican
standpoint, the Globe-DemOcrat is
playing good politics; in fact about
the only good politics it has played
in thirty years. Its methods are not
the purest and it does not confne It's
statements to truth, but the theory
of sowing dlscord in Democratic
ranks and arraying the supporters
of one candidate against those OF
another, in order to disrupt the
party, is, being worked overtime, and
in some instances and localities We
fear successfully. We are sorry that
we can not applaud the course OF the
Republic, which, as the only Demo
cratic metropolitan journal in the
state, we have a right to expect to
defend the Democratic party against
the assaults Of the Republican press.
Instead OF pursuing a broad guaged
policy, it has espoused the cause OF
one OF the candidates and is using lite
full influence to discredit all Others.
1t started out on the theory that
nine .tenths OF the Democrats OF the
state were FORTS candidate aud every
county that goes against him must
rest under the odium of being con-
trolled by boodlers and tricksters, in
the estimation OF that paper. If the
Democratic party should be defeated
at the polls this fall, the Republic
could claim full share in that result
In the last few campaigns the bur-
den OF the fight FOR Democracy has
fallen on theshoulders Of the country
press and how well it succeeded the
results bear the best testimony. The
same conditions prevail this year
with the added burden of having TO
overcome the bitterness engendered
by acrimonious contests between the
candidates and their partisans.

MERGER KNOCKED OUT.
The Opinion Of the United States
Supreme Court in the North

A HEAVY BLOW TO TRUSTS.

Washington, March 1.-THE opin
ion OF the United States supreme
court in the case OF the Northern
Securities company versus the United
States, involving the merger OF the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern Railroad companies, was handed
down to-day. Ii was in favor oil the
government. The opinion was read
by Justice Harlan.
The opinion OF the United States
circuit court for the district OF Min
nesota was affirmed. The effect 10 to
sustain the contention that the Sher-
man antitrust law applies to rail
road combinations OF the character
In question.
The case has attracted more atten-
ton than any other suit before the
court since the first insular cases were
decided and has been regar' cd by
bench and bar as equal In importance
with those cases aud with the Income
tax cases. 1t was argued in Decem-
Der for two days and attracted gen.
eral attention at that time, as it did
previously when the decision was
rendered by the circuit court for the
district OF Minnesota.
The action was brought In the cir
cult court under the law OF February
IL, 1908, which was to expedite the
case and was heard by the four cir
cult court Judges Of the circuit. They
united in decision favorable to the
United States and opposed to the
contentious of the railroad compa-
MES.

The suit was instituted by the Unit

and the Great Northern and their
leading stockholders for the purpose
of dissolving the merger OF the two
roads, which the United States de-
clared, by the creation OF a holding

involving the trust question saying
that from them it is to be gathered
that all contracts in restraint of

are prohibited by the Sherman law
and that Congress has the power to

down in that law. Congress had
power to enact the statute.
