Leading interpretations
And InfractiOns of the Law

Beginning with the Jan. 30 decision
of the United States supreme court,
which sustained the Grosscup injunc-
tion against the beef trust, several
opinions handed down by the higher
courts have seemed to lean toward the
validity of antitrust legislation and ex-
tension Of the larger corporations OBJ
legations toward the public The high
est court also upheld the Kansas and
Texas antitrust laws in February. In
May the same court declared the New
York franchise tax and the Kentucky
corporation tax laws TO be valid, and
in July it sustained the Arkansas anti
trust law.
In twenty eight states extensive pros
ecutions have been instituted against
commercial or political graft, while the
federal government has actually
brought number OF the land grabbers
to conviction and beef packers to trial.
On Sept. "A at Chicago four beef
packers were convicted Of accepting re-
bates and were fined $4,000 Prosecu-
tons were begun at Philadelphia, Chi
cago and other railroad centers Dec. ID
by the federal government against rail
road officials for violation of the re-
bate law. The gamblers. big and little,
have been checked by Jerome in New
York, by Governor Hanly in Intiana,
and the Sunday race track betting re-
duced by Governor Folk of Missouri.
A big nest of professional swindlers
was destroyed at Philadelphia in
March following the failure Of the Sto-
rey Cotton company. The third trial Of
Senator Burton for his connection with
the RIalto Grain and Securities com
pany of st. Louis in November result

six months Imprisonment and $1,000
fine.

Educational Tendencies,
Hand Craftand SelfExpresSion

From a comprehensive study of the
entire field of public and private edu-
cation, and especially in this country,
from kindergarten to university, it is
apparent that the two most notable
advances of the past year have been in
the direction of free manual and arts
tic expression of the growing pupil on
the one hand and of dependence on
public opinion for establishing and pre-
serving the requisite degree of order
and a safe standard Of progress.
Princeton has begun introducing the
tutorial system. Columbia has led the
way by establishing the principle of
international university cooperation, a
definite alliance with Berlin university
being arranged. Oxford and Cam
bridge both voted in March to retain
Greek. Pennsylvania eXOnerated Pro
fessor Hilprecht of the charges Of I'M
scientific conduct brought against him
by DR.. Peters Columbia and the New
York university led in n movement of
eastern colleges toward the abolition
or reform of football. The effort to
merge the Massachusetts, Institute Of
Technology with Harvard fHiled on le-
gal grounds. The Carnegie technical
schools were opened in ole building at
Pittsburg Oct. IL.

HE Happiness Conferred on Strong
Drink and Food

Drink and Food.
Ernest Poole. in his striking article
In the October Everybody's, on pres
ent conditions in Russia. which he has
called Peasant Cattle" quotes a
brutal Cossack as follows:
For what more can a man want
than vodka? To close the door OF your
room, to lie down on your bed with
a big gallon bottle of vodka lying
across your stomach, and plenty OF
good cold meat and eggs on the chair
by your pillow-that's living. Thank
the good God, who only makes us
stop meat and eggs in Lent, but lets
us keep on with our vodka We have
a clever trick for these jolly bedroom
hours. You put the candle in a little
dish of water, so when you booze off
the candle burns on and on till the
flame strikes the water with big
splutter and goes out This trick was
found out hundreds of years ago, and
now We all know it; so every one in
the village can get drunk without
danger of setting fire to anything.
"We have different ways of drink
ing. The poor man who can only
have one bottle, he sucks it In
through straw. because by drink.
ing it slower it gives you the same
feeling as if you had two bottles. But
the rich Cossack who has three or
four bottles-he can just pour it down
in big glasses"
