Now it is the drug trust that the
government proposes to put out of
business, and judging from the evil
dence elected in the case of Loder in
Philadelphia it has abundant cause
for doing so. Proceedings have been
begun in the Federal Court in Indian
apolis against the several drug asso-
Citations forming the trust, the charges
being that they and the members
thereof have entered into conspiracy
to arbitrarily fix and regulate the
price at which articles shall be sold to
the consumer. This alleged conspir-
acy is along the lines pursued for a
time by the tobacco and the sugar
trusts, in their efforts to prevent cut
ting retail prices and robbing the peo-
pie of the benefit of competition in
trade. The Loder trial in Philadel.
phia made it perfectly clear that there
was combine of drug interests to
prevent retail druggists who sold
goods at their own prices from obtain
ing supply, even going so far as to
secure places in retail stores for spies
in the interest OF the combine. The
government is moving slowly in its
prosecution of combines formed for
restraint of trade, but little more
energy and aggreSsiveness would be
very pleasing to the people at large.

The day after the Colby movement
struck Morris county, if we could be-
lieve the Democrats and other advo-
Gates Of that idea, there was COM
plete surrender as everyone present
was counted as a friend and the two
hundred or so present included most
of the prominent Republican leaders
Of the county. 1t only remained for
the central committee to get together
to marshal the mighty host. But the
reaction set in a day or SO after. The
g Banner came out with a frantic
appeal to the Democrats not to aban-
don the time-honored principles of De-
mocracy to follow the strange gods OF
disgruntled Republicanism. And now
the word comes from down the road
that Record, the Colby leader, is far
from being satisfied with the quality
and standing Of the leaders Of the
movement here and no mass meetin 6
will be held in MorristOwn until after
conference is held to ascertain just
what kind of support it will receive.
Even Gibson s optimistic soul revolted
against following the lead of his old
time butts" Sammy G. and " Black

In will not be many years when the
observances of Memorial Day will have
to be kept up by others than survivors
of the Civil War. The thinning ranks
of the G.. A. r. each succeeding year
Indicate this fact. The number Of men
who fought for the preservation Of the
Union who still survive is rapidly d.
minishing. The report Of Gen. Green
r. Raum shows that the historic men
now on the pension rolls are receiving
their final earthly discharge at the
rate Of 600 a week. AS compared
with the previous fiscal year, the NUM-
Der Of Civil War pensioners decreased
6,184 during the fiscsl year Of 1906. An
effort is being made to pass bill
through Congress creating special
retired list for about 200 surviving
generals OF the volunteer army Of the
Civil War or these 200 three are
major-generals, thirty-three are briga-
dier-generals, and the rest are breyet

with popular favor. The number who
would become beneficiarieS is so small

year chat the bill, If 1t becomes a law.

WILLARD AND HARDY
HAVE A BIG KICK
CIRCUIT JUDGE AND COUNTY AT
TORNEY OBJECT TO ATTORNEY
GENERAL COMPOSING ERROR.

County Attorney Willard of Kauai,
backed by Circuit Judge Hardy, has
made objections to the Attorney Gen
erals Department "conHessing error"
in the case of the Territory aginst Lai
Tan, which was appealed from Judge
Hardy. Lai was charged with gam
bling. A demurrer to the indictment
was overuled by Hardy and an appeal
was taken. When the case came here
the Attorney Generals Department
reached the conclusion that the demur-
rer had been good, and IT confessed err
ror and allowed the case against the
defendant to be dismissed.
Willard at once made up a motion for
a rehearng and sent it to be filed in
the Supreme Court. 1t was endorsed
by the Circuit judge. Willard accused
the Attorney Generals Department Of
discourtesy to him ana the judge in
admitting error, and asked the Supreme
Court to give the matter a rehearing.
When the matter came up this morn
ing, the motion for a rehearing was
stricken off the calendar. Judge Perry,
who represented the defendant in the
case, happened to be present in anoth-
err matter, but did not respond to the
Willard motion. The court held that
the motion by Willard could not be
taken up as it was by a person not
a party to the record.
The Tai indictment was drawn by
Willard and sustained by Hardy The
demurrer was on the ground that 1t
was too indefinite and after examining
It the attorney general came to the
conclusion that it was, and that it
charged about everything in sight in
the gambling statutes, wherefore he re-
fused to contest the case and confessed
error.

INFORMATION WANT ED.

The Carnegie Hero Fund Commits
sion has replied to the application for
a hero medal for Kuaiwa, of Lahaina,
with a request for further information,
which Senator Hayselden has been ask
ed to supply, and with an intimation
that it may be necessary for a repre-
sentative of the hero fund to come
here and investigate on the spot. 1t
appears that it is almost harder to get
a hero medal than to be a hero in the
first place. The following letters show
that the hero business has been sifted
down to a fine point, ana that anyone
who wants a Carnegie medal had bet
ter have his witnesses at hand when
he starts out to be a hero.
Hon. A. L. c. Atkinson, Acting Gov
ernor of Hawaii, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor of
April 18th, regarding an act of heroism
performed by one Kuaiwa off the port
of Lahaina, on the Island of Maui, to-
gether with enclosures, was duly re-
ceived.
