What the Government Must Prov

What the Government Must Prove.
The New York Times has taken the
position which is apparently the view
point Of conservatives" that it is
largely matter Of inference whether
the seventy constituent companies of
the Standard Oil trust acting indie
pendently would have been able to
build up the business and sell the chief
product, illuminating oil, as cheaply
as the Standard has produced and sold
it. From this it concludes that re-
straint Of trade may exist technically
where no restraint Of trade exists ac-
tually.
In the merger case the supreme court
held that where the power to restrain
was actually present the restraint
would be presumed. It was not com,
mon sense to suppose that men would
go to trouble and expense to put them
selves in a position to restrain trade
without exercising that power when it
became to their interest to do SO. The
courts would not wait until an act Of
restraint occurred any more than the
courts would wait until an assault had
been made before restraining the in
dividual who had been pointed out as
the person who had the power, the
disposition and the motive to commit
an, assault. The courts would bind
that individual over to keep the peace.
The government will not be called
upon to prove actual restraint of trade
and raising Of prices by the Standard
Oil company. It can make out its case
by showing the power, the opportunity
and the reasonable motive for restraint
on the partSof the trust. s5
The further point is raised by the
Times that tho doubts OF the wisdom

SCRAMBLE AT THE PIE COUNTER
Choice Cuts Of House PATRONAGE Thrown the Market

decided that such provision as was
in the West Virginia constitution was
not binding on the senate. The con-
stitution of the United States provides
that senators must possess certain
qualifications, which are enumerated,
and any man coming to the door of
the senate and possessing those quail
elected, will be seated. It is evident
that the senate, in the Faulkner case,
looked upon such constitutional provi-
sions as those named as intended to
limit the operation of the federal con-
stitution. - @5
In Minnesota there is no constitu-
tional provision to the effect that the
governor may not go to the United
States senate if he can. The constitu-
berse of the legislature and of the SUI
preme court Of the state are not to
hold any other offices during the terms
for which they are elected. Minnesota,
therefore, would not run up against
the snag that is confronting Michigan
and New Jersey unless she were some
day to elect to the federal senate some
member OF the state house or senate
or some member Of the state supreme
court. ' "

which is the best way to go. The
HOmaha Road offers the proper solu-
ton Of this problem with their through

routes as follows:
Tuesday ear leaves Minneapolis 1850
