ers, charging the existence of q com.
bination in restrain of trade and mo-
nopoly within the meaning Of sections
one and two of the Sherman antitrust
act. The petition alleges that the
New Haven company has acquired
control over approximately 500 out Of
600 miles of electric railway in Con-
necticut, 400 out of 500 in Rhode Is-
land and about 600 in Massachusetts,,

of tho capital stock of the Boston &
Maine railroad 1t has secured practical
control over that railroad; and that
by the acquisition of the electric lines
and this control Of the Boston q
Maine it has established . virtual mo-
nopoly OF all the transportation facili-
ties by land in the New England
states, the Boston & Albany railroad
being practically the only line of any
consequence in the New England
states, with the exception Of the state
OF Vermont, not now under the control
in some form of the New Haven COM
pany The petition relates the history
of these various acquisitions and
shows how the New Haven company
has persistently pursued the policy Of
suppressing all competition with it

transportation facilities between and
among the New England states, and
between those states and the rest Of
the United States"
The petition prays that the "com-

Life Judged by Failures.

Life is often best judged by its
failures. What we attempt is fire.
Quently much more important than
what we do. The result of the ia
nous Charge of the Light Brigade
was more glorious than if they had
captured some strong position in
disobedience to the commands of the
officers whom they had sworn to
obey. 1t is not necessary to go as
far as Stevenson did when he said
that, whatever else we are meant
for, we are not meant to succeed.
But it is necessary to recognize that
we are meant to be true, success or
no success. 1t may be nobler thing
to lead in vain forlorn hope than to
plant our colors on the very citadel
of the enemy Failure to be faithful
is the only failure-Sunday School
Times.
