something of a reputation as a litigant.

mouth when he talked, due to some
muscular affection, which gave strik'

he made to see his lawyers on a Ger.

his mind to have lawsuit. He sat
down with his lawyer and laid out his

twitched his face, and hastily replied:

Injunction Gets its Chance

Injunction Gets its Chance.
A court Injunction is wicked thing
when it is pointed our way. But if it
should happen by some wise dispensatlon
of Providence, to once get it's nozzle in
the right direction, much would be for
given it. It is to have the chance.
The lumbermen of tho West propose
to invoke its aid to prevent the railroads
putting into effect the new rates east on
their products. If they show the same
knowledge of human nature in their
selection of judge that tho railroads
seem to possess, the peoples turn to
smile may come.
The schedule as filed increases the rate
from the coast to St. Paul from fifteen to
twenty per cent. Shingles go from fifty
to sixty cents, cedar lumber and long
tlmbers the same, and fir, pine and other
kinds of lumber from forty to fifty cents.
Figured by the thousand this would
make large increase on the cost of the
house the poor man can no longer build
because prices are prohibitive. 1t would
mean more and still more flats with q
minimum OF timber and the forcing of
mon and women to become, as it were
cave dwellers, rearing their children with
only the streets as Fairgrounds.
It may be that the railroads are justi-
fed in this increase. If they are the
people will not only be justified but
forced to stop building. When the
price of any commodity gets below the
profit line in price the production is re-
ducsd by agreement among tho pro-
duCers. Ill.,. ,-..
When the price gees abovest the line Of

reasonable profit, tho market should be
reduced by common agreement among
the consumers. There ia no other way
yet found of regulating prices than by
supply and demand. But since comb
nations of capital and combinations OF
labor have been injected into tho prob
lem, supply has not been left wholly to
the tender mercies of general conditions,
No more should demand be loft alone
to bear tho burden and be tho creature
OF capital and labor. 1t should be given
an automatic regulator by the consumers,
and if the courts refuse this Injunction
on lumber rates, now is very good time
to attack it.-News Tribune.
