A SWEEPING DECISION


The bare announcement, made public
some time ago, that the supreme court
of the United States had decided
against the Hartman interests in their
action brought to recover stocks sold
to the Northern Securities company
gives little idea of the sweeping scope
of the decision itself, the full text Of
which is published this morning. The
court not only makes this finding, but
1t bases it's decree upon the considera-
tions advanced in these columns when
the case was under trial, and reinforces
and establishes the position that the
fight made by James j. Hill was a fight
for the interests of the northwest and
of the whole country as against mon
strous proposed monopoly.
On grounds of equity it is held that
the Hartman interest had no standing
In court. In whatever was done, it par
ticipated. It sought to share in all the
advantages gained by the holders of
Northern Securities shares. It con-
Cured in stock sales to thousands of
outside holders. 1t stood on all its
rights as shareholder, and broke away
only when it sought to secure, against
the plan of distribution proposed in
conformity with the orders of the court,
the control for itself of the Northern
Pacific and the Burlington. 1t was an
error, which the Hartman people now
estimate perhaps more correctly, to
place themselves in a position where
their acts would be so mercilessly criti-
cised and their motives exposed by the
highest judicial authority.
In addition to this, the court points
out that the practical effect of grant
ing the mandate asked for would have
been to deny the force and nullify the
act of the law under which the court
had already proceeded in the Northern
Securities case itself. 1t says: "And
1t is clear enough that the delivery to
complainant of majority of the total
Northern Pacific stock and a ratable
distribution of the remaining assets to
the other Securities stockholders wouId
not only be in itself inequitable but
would directly contravene the object of
the Sherman act and the purposes of
the governments suit The Northern
Pacihc system, taken in connection
with the Burlington system, is COM
pettive with the Union Pacific system;
and it seems obvious to us, the entire
record considered, that the decree
sought for by complainant would tend
TO smother that competition"
Thus are the purposes of the partfes
made clear. Mr.. Hill was fighting the
battles of the people, against a COM
bination which, had it succeeded, would
have been great enough to master tbe
trafhc of the western portion of this
continent and reduce railroad competi-
ton there to little more than a name.
The decision rendered is far more than
continuation of his rights, it is a
Vlndlcation of his purposes and of the
great ideas that he has stood for
throughout his wonderful career as 4.
creator in the railroad world. BY his
indomitable determination and force q
raid has been defeated which, If sue
cessful, would have brought blight
upon the whole northwest and upon
transcontinental traffic. This adds one
more item to the debt that the people
owe to him.

Says Pitcher Frank smith Is the

 Il have discovered the next champion of the world and the man that will eventually own the laurels now held by Jeffries."
 This Is the gist of talk given out by the irrepressible Kid Mccoy in speak ing of his new pugilistic find. Pitcher Frank Smith of the Chicago American league club.
 'I believe that Smith could give lief fries hard fight now and without any further training. and in q year he can lick Jen,' said Mccoy after ten min ute bout with the baseball player.
 Smith is the most remarkable man I have ever come across in my career. He is q natural born pugilist and has only to be taught the tricks of the ring to make him q champion. l put the gloves on with him. and he surprised me. He is the fastest big man that have ever faced and has a wallop that has Jeffries' faded.

 Stanford vs. University of California.
 Stanford and the University of Cali fornia are time honored athletic rivals.
 The Stanford California football struggle is popular institution. The Stanford California annual rowing match has yet to see the light of day For years past when the suggestion was made that steps should be taken toward inaugnrating a yearly rowing match between the cardinal and the blue and gold the excuse was advanced by Stanford that there was no easily accessible water down that way for practice purposes.
 This difficulty has been overcome Stanford has found water and has pro gressed to a stage where she is the proud possessor of barges and crews.
 California is similarly equipped, and if there is truth in the stories that drift from the rival institutions the men of brawn are just aching to meas ure oars. A race was arranged. in fact, to take place on April %. but a hitch occurred over the selection of a | course. California wants to row on oakland estuary. Stanford says that the California boathouse is situated on the estuary and that it is there that California breaks in its new men and indulges in all its practice work.
