plish the results usually expected to follow
free competition. So II may reasonably
be held that the Sherman antitrust law
should not have gone further than the
common law affecting contracts in re-
straiRt of trade.
With respect TO the Interstate commerce
law, which now forbids the formation of
railway pools the President has already
said that 1T should be permitted TO rail-
roads to make agreements. provided these
agreements were sanctioned by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. and were
published" Such agreements are now
made. though technically In violation OF
law. and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has expressed the opinion that the
railways could not be operated with due
regard to their own interests and the in
terests Of shippers without the concerted
action afforded by traffic associations.
This is not to say that railway cOmbina-
tions may not be In particular instances
injurious 10 the public. but only that
they are not SO, as a matter Of fact. in
all cases. The Interstate commerce law
needs amendment. as the President has
suggested, 50 as to permit railway COM
binations for reasonable purposes under
governmental supervision.
II should not be hastily assumed that
Mr.. Roosevelts present attitude indicates
a backdown in the administrations policy
affecting corporations. Governmental reg
ulation. so far as public interests are con-
cerncd, and not governmental destruc-
ton, IS It's fundamental principle and
from that principle there viii be no de-
parture. II is a principle which nowadays

MARRIAGES

his fourth marriage Thursday night al

the happy recipient OF his affection and
looked pretty spruce in the wedding

she was to have married Bige Barker's
oldest son seven years ago. (See foot
note) Rev Sammel Moore ofishiated
and kist the bride until Mrs. Moore
nudged him and whispered something
that made him stop kindo sudden like.
Solon gave the minister a whole hand
full Of coppers and received many thanks
from Mr. Moore, who thinks Solon a
good customer. Later on the reverend
pastor discovered that some OF the cop

ly all timely topics. but in thumbing
over our alnanack we see 1t announced
that next Thursday is to be a day OF

ing what we ought to be thankful for
and who to thank Last year at this
time we was skimming along on pretty
thin ise, as you might say, and while
We had plenty OF subscription cord
wood, it was mighty poor comfort for
our stomacks. with hunger knawing at
our vitals and only two or three cents
to knock together in our pockets. In
fact, if we had paid our just debts we
wouldn't had them. Still, we had
something to be thankful for as we
found somebuddy's pocketbook with s.
and ninty cents In it, and that was
apparently what you might call des-
tiny or something similar. We might
have advertised same III our advertis-
ing collums, but that would mean extra
work, and like as not some old titewad
would claim same and refuse to pay for
setting type and reading proof of his
advertising. In this respect, we might
say right here that half of our adver-
tisers don't pay for advertising nothing
and we desire TO know how much profit
we can make if we don't get paid for
il? We have got seven old ledgers
plumb full of accounts which we have
thumbed over so much the edges looks
as though the mise had lcnawed them.
