his idea to the letter and has been Law

1t looks ~ II about al the prestige
gained against the trusts Nv the mer-
ger decision i lost Ly decree rem.
dered hy the L. :. supreme Court,
Monday, in which the Northern Sc
curltics Company finally win out in
contention for distribution OF stock as
1t had planned to do. The opinion
Wa b., Cine! Justice Fuller, and no
dissenting, opinion was announced. 1t
revrrte> the decree vi the CIirjiii Court
for the distric, Of New jersey, which
had issued an injunction restraining
the securities company from transfer
ring certain railroad stock held by the
Securities company proportionally of
the two companies, instead Of return
ing the stock originally held by appli-
Giants and deposited by them in the
pooling OF interests that constituted
the merger.
The moral effect Of the injunction
was in the confidence it inspired that
the machinery OF law had at last been
taken in hand, and would be used,
when necessary, to curb the rapacity
OF trusts. With the form OF dispute
the public had little to do and cared
less. The affirmation Of the decree OF
the Court Of Appeals establishes, how.
ever, the acknowledgement that the
Northern Securities Co. had become
the absolute legal and equitable owner
OF the railroad stock, and that the
question of ownership had not been
even incidentally passed upon by the
Supreme Court in the case for dissolu-
ton OF the merger. II certainly seems
but proper sequence that, if the
m 'rger was SO much in restraint Of
proper business conditions as to be
placed under bar, that the precise ele-
ments entering into its formation
would naturally be resolved to their
original parts.
IT now appears that with the dispo-
sition manifested by the President TO
resist the grasping nature OF com.
bines, very little progress has been
made, and there must be some reason
for it. If it is Congressional aid that
is needed, let it be understood and an
effort made to afford him that relief.
There 10 but little doubt but that it
was the antitrust feeling which led to
bis phenomenal vote in the November
election, but as usual the people were
deceived as to the ability of a single
branch Of the administration to make
good pledges which involve coordinate

certed action of the people would
