about the same amount Of money in
taxes that he has in years past. The
reduction in the size of the tax rate is
made possible by the increased valua-
ton on property for the purposes OF
taxation, but about the same amount OF
money will have to be raised by the
county for this year as has been needed
for other years, so the amount of the
taxes will be nearly the same regard
less of the smallness Of the tax rate.
But If the assessments have been made
in an equitable fashion, as they un-
doubtedly have, the large property own
er will come nearer meeting his just
proportion of the taxes than in times
past.

that no paper or infamDable rubbish
is allowed to accumulate in unused
rooms, Railways and cellars. and that
axes are in place for use when needed.
This would not add too much to the
1abors of the janitors and it would
make every school building somewhat
safer, especially if it were also made
the duty Of the fire department to send
representative to the school houses
occasionally to see IL the janitors are
attending to their duties in this respect
and keeping the fire prohibitive imple-
ments and apparatus in good condition.
We have had fearful lesson in the
consequences of lack of care and fore
sight in this matter. Already there is
a demand that all school houses shall
be fireproof. That change must neces-
sarily be in the future. Meanwhile very
much care in the buildings we have is
imperative. And while it is probably
impracticable to place the school houses
entirely in the special care OF the fire
departments some measure of super
vision by the departments may be
found as possible as it is desirable.

CANNED EXCITEMENT.

Like to see melodrama,
something doing all the time,
Loot and pIunder,r blood and thunder
And a medley of crime;
There's the hero in distraction,
With his fortunes running slow,
And the killing of the villain
To the music soft and low
Out the heroine steps lightly
10 the center Of the stage.
sweet sixteen, or the demeanor
OF a maiden of that age
Then the plot begins to thicken
As the villain sails in view,
Under cover of her lover
He begins the girl to WOO
Nothing doing for the hero
At this section of the plot.
His intentions have Dimensions
But they do not take the Dot,
For the villain does a murder,
Burns a will he doesn't need,
And he nearly proves it clearly
That the hero did the deed.
All, but right turns up triumphant,
And the wrong is put to r6ut
Just as certain as the curtain,
And the villain loses out,
And the hero takes the lady
By the dainty little mitt,
And the audience in rapture
Rises up and throws fit.

MoDERNIzING SHERMAN LAW.

| On the adoption of the federal anti
trust law in 1890 it's full scope and
| implications were not understood, not
withstanding the long and comprehen-
| sive debates upon it in the two branch
| es of congress. 1t required several
momentous decisions of the supreme
court to settle disputed points OF the
greatest Importance. One of these de-
| cisions held the law to apply to rail-
road combinations among others, ana
| not a few lawyers were surprised at
| this view.
But the decision which. above all
| others, gave the law its present CHAR
acter was that rendered in the North
ern Securities case, which declared that
all combinations whatever, whether IN
furious or innocent, that at all tended
to restrain trade and competition, or
that created the mere power to erect
such restraint, were illegal and con-
trary to public policy as determined
bv congress The common law has al
ways distinguished between reasonable
and unreasonable restraint of trade,
between useful or at least harmless
combinations and the positively in
furious kind This distinction congress,
and had the constitutional power to
wipe out.
For several years, however, 1t has
been manifest to intelligent men that
the common law distinction ought to
be Incorporated into the law, for, as the
president has said repeatedly, the
sweeping prohibitions of combinations
and agreements of the Sherman law
as construed cannot be enforced with
ont grave detriment and demora1za-
ton to industry, commerce and labor
It is the opinion of labor leaders
that a literal enforcement of the law is
to endanger the rights. even the exist
ence, of perfectly inoffensive unions
that rest on the principles of collective
BARGAINING and concerted action In the
event of strikes and lockouts.
The revision and modernization OF
the law has been urged in executive
messages, in congressional speeches, in
resolutions of business bodies. 1t
is doubted whether the present con-
gress can be induced to take up so i'm
portant a question, but the conferences
that, according to the reports, have
been held at the White House recently
and the progress that has been made
toward an agreement satisfactory to
men of affairs, to party leaders and to
labor chiefs, cannot fail to contribute
to a Just solution of the problem.
