widow, of course, sued for dam
ages. che principal witness swore
positively that the locomotive whis-
tie had not sounded until after the
entire train had passed over his de-
parted friend.

OBJECTS or SHERMAN LAW.

We all know how much feeling,

aroused dn the United States by cor
porate mismanagement. 1t is diff
hcult to speak In language too
strong OF usurpations of power and
the larcenies OF funds which have
been committed by corporate off,
GERS. But let us not lose our heads.
We are face TO face with the eco
nomic conditions that are new. and
With economic abuses that, though
manifold, have grown up slowly and
In the dark. There Is ample pow
er IN our institutions, In our Com
stitution and our laws to check and
to remedy them all. There is now
reason to believe, that the Sherman
antitrust law commits the nation
TO a policy which Is too extreme,
to policy that, In putting an end
to certain admitted evils, also puts
an end to certain demonstrable ben
efits. Many Of Is believe that the
act unduly exalts the principle OF
competition and fails to lay due EN-
phasis upon the public benefits
which may follow form properly
regulated and supervised co-opera-
ton. The distinction between COM

WORD FROM coRTELYou.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Just before the senate adjourned today, Senator AL drich received a letter from Secretary Cortelyou explaining his delay in re- plying to the resolution calling for iR- formation concerning the recent Pana- ma canal bond issue and the letter was laid before the senate. Earlier in the day, MT. Tillman indulged in caustic comment upon what he characterized as the secretary's apparent. "disobed- ience' to the senate resolution.
 In his letter MT. Cortelyou said: "I am sorry there should have been any misunderstanding as to the time an answer to the senate resolution would be sent in. Had been advised of your request 10 know when it might be ex- pected I would have replied. I re- quire a little more time to go over the mass of figures involved. It is my in tention to submit a complete response to the resolution in the course of the next few days"
 The senate devoted two hours to considering the bill revising the crimi- nal laws of the United States.
