the water rights shall be a djudicated

Few cases that have been In the su
preme court Of the United States IN
the last forty years attracted the at
tention that was commanded by the
case against the Northern Securities
company. More people know some
thing about this than about the great
majority of suits that are carried TO
that final arbiter. There will be a
great many more people who know
now and will know about the case
against the beef trust. Both these
cases are to settle principle, but in
the one case all the people are only
Indirectly interested, while the other
will touch the pockets Of everybody,
and what touches the pocket is likely
to com nand general attention. Then
in addition to this, many of the facts
