and by others with anxiety, as likely to
disturb business. To the great majority
this action seems TO be merely the result
of the recent agitation, manifestation
of the recently improved code of business
morals. Yet, III truth, neither the radi-
calism of MIR. Roosevelt. nor the agita-
ton against the oil company, nor the
modern sentiment can be said to be re-
sponsible for this legal action. The conn
mon law has long recognized the right OF
government TO interfere with actions in
restraint of trade. The growth of trusts
made statutes necessary, and the Sher-
man act and the Elkins law preceded the
present. agitation by years. The complaints
of the violation of the law were frequent,
and eventually government investigation
was necessary. The illegal acts We're full
is exposed. 1t then became the duty Of
the Attorney-General to prosecute, and
the Cabinet and the President were
bound to furnish him with the means and
the authority, much as the Board Of
Freeholders would be required to provide
the Prosecutor with the necessary means
to conduct the prosecution of band of
local criminals. The Standard Oil Com
pany has for years been lawbreaker,
and cruel on, TOO. and with full knowl-
edge of and in cold defiance long-exist-
ing laws. Its responsible officers should
be punished just as any criminal should
be. .s

Now that the Court of Errors and APP
peais has heard the argument on the
question of the Assembly districting bill
a final decision may be expected at an
early day, says the Newark Daily Adj
vertiser." To the lay mind the logic em-
ployed by the States legal department
in support of the constitutionality of the
districting bill seems incontrovertible.
AS Mr.. Duffield said yesterday, the
Democratic gerrymander of 1891 was
never attacked upon the ground of con-
stitutionalty. either in press or in the
Legislature, at the time of its passage,
and the decision by the Supreme Court
judges in 1894 was complete surprise.
1t is also true that sthe5 argument was
made more or less perfnnctorily."
Mr.. Duffield was not far from the
truth in his statement that "even cas-
ual examination of the elaborate and
able opinion rendered would show that
the learned justice was to an appreciable
extent influenced in arriving at his con-
clusions by the circumstances under
which the case was presented to his at
