An examination Of the reports of

long standing that Virginia owes the
daughter state. The suit was brought
by Virginia without much thought Of
serious resistance on the part of West
Virginia. but the latter has been zeal

Aids Old Men

The sudden change from years of ac-
tiVity of both body and mind to the
quiet of later years causes the human
system to undergo many changes, chief
of which is IN the digestive organs.
It becomes harder and harder to get
the bowels to move promptly and reg
ularly and in consequence many elderly
men suffer not only from the basic trou-
bic. constipation, but from indigestion,
headache, belching, sour stomach,
drOwsiness after eating, and similar an
noyances. Tt IS first of all necessary to
keep the bowels open and then to tone
the digestive muscles so as 10 get them
TO again do their work naturally. A
violent cathartic or purgative is not
only unnecessary but harmful. and
something mild viii do the work just as
well.

STANDARD OILS LIFE
HANGING IN BALANCE
Case Will Be Most Important to Come Up at Present
Term of Supreme COurt-Coming Appointee
Will Have Great Influence

is especially pointed out that he had a
Chance TO lead the way to the Northern
Securities decision, but instead, in the
Hartman eene case. decided the exact
opposite, and declined TO enforce the
antitrust law against railroads. The
general terror of his decisions for many
years has been such as to Justify the
impression that he would follow the
decidedly conservative course in all
such litigation
Various extremely important cases are
pending, in which the new member Of
the court viii have q hand. The Union
VIII be excluded from the Tobacco trust
case, in which the Supreme Court ar
guments have already been made, and
which. it is understood, is liable to be
decided at almost any time.
Effect on Standard Oil.
The largest interest In the new ap-
pointment, however, pertains TO It's ef-
feet on the Standard Oil case, which viii
not get to the Supreme Court until at
ter the new justice shall have been
named. and IN which a 5-to-4 decision
has been regarded as very probable.
The Government has devoted immense
expenA and effort to this case, believ-
ing that il was about the strongest that
could be presented for the maintenance
of the Sherman act. President ROOSe-
welt took the deepest interest in the
proceedings, and Frank 3. Kellogg has
at various times expressed in private
the most absolute confidence that he
would win IL.
Should the Government win, one of
the most difficult financial problems
ever undertaken would require atten-
ton. in the distribution of the immense
assets Of the Standard OIL Company,
back to the multiplied original corpora
ffons This would be a well-nigh i'm
possible task, and it would accomplish,
in the end, very little good, because
Standard Oil shares are now so closely
held that the nominal distribution would
sin7riv leave the control of this vast
series OF small corporations, in the
hands of the small group of men now
dominating Standard Oil

be distributed back to the original
stockholders.
Mr.. Kellogg was IN Washington a few
days ago on business with the Depart
ment of Justice officials. 1t is known
that he has great confidence in winning
this case in the circuit court of appeals,
and that he has expected, further, TO
get the court Of appeals Judgment at
firmed in the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
It is not remarkable that, with a case
of such overwhelming significance as
this one pending; a case on which there
is every reason TO expect a profound
opinion and a general restatement Of the
Supreme Courts views of the sherman
antitrust laW-it is not strange Inat
there should be pTodigious interest
among people concerfAed in this particu-
lar litigation, in comedian with the
change in the personnel Of the Supreme
Bench.
There is no denying that in quarters
where close. detailed consideration IS
given to these subjects, the prospect for
victory over the STANDARD on Com
pany has been marked down since JUS
tice Peckham's death. Despite that JUS
tice Peckham dissented in the Northern
Securities case, it has been generally
considered by the lawyers that he would
follow his own decision IN the traffic
association cases, and hold that the
Standard Oil Company should be dis
solved. His removal from the bench
opens the wav for a change that may
be determinative; and since the impress
sion has gone abroad that Circuit Judge
Lurton is TO 90 TO the Supreme Court
confidence in a final victory for the
Government has decidedly waned.
Fear Change of Sentiment.
This change Of sentiment is based on
the impression that Judge Lurton's rec
ord of former opinions justifes the belief
that as a Supreme Judge he would gen
orally take the conservative side. and
tend to construe the law in the interest
Of the great business aggregations- 1t
