THAT STANDARD OIL DECISION

The views of Henry Clews, the promi-
nent New York banker, on the import
ant public questions of the day are
always interesting, and especially so
because they have come to be rightly
considered as reflections of the con-
sentative and legitimate interests in
Wall street. What he has to say on
the recent decision of the federal court
against the Standard Oil company
comes within this category and is es-
recially pertinent because Mr.. CIews
sees nothing in it which is a menace
to the mammoth corporate interests of
the country. Rather does he hail it
as much needed blow at the grasping
monopoHes which have developed in
various fields of endeavor. Other in
terests in Wall street have taken an
opposite view of the situation, but the
points made by Mr.. Clews ought to
strike the fair-nrinded as being well ta-
ken. They follow:
Wall street was decidedly disturbed
by the decision of the United States
circuit court against the Standard Oil
company. Although not entirely unex-
pected, this decision emphasizes the
ban which the courts are placing upon
the efforts 20 suppress competition.
Needless to say these mandates inter-
fere materially with the plans of many
industrial and financial leaders who had
contemplated mergers. holding compan-
les or other devices for circumventing
the law. Such plars must necessarily
be seriously jnterfered with, and all
combinations of Inoropolstic charac-
ter are now wondering how the decis-
ion may affect their future welfare 1t
is not to be supposed that either the
government or the courts are going to
| take extreme or aninteliigent action
towards the great combinations of cap
| ital. which are necessary to the de-
velopntcnt of the country and more ef-
! ficient and more economical than num-
| erous small concerns. Neverthe less, it
may as Well be recognized at once that
! the government seriously intends to
| comply with the popular demand fer
| adequate restraint of monopolies and
| great aggregations of capital. 1t is evil

will support this movement; and that

Oneness of United States.

There has been much comment,
wise and foolish, on President Taft's
discovery of the oneness of the Unit
ed States. our uniformity in language,
thoughts, clothes. customs, and man
ners. which has attracted the attention
of all thoughtful people who have had
occasion to Swing around the circle
of the United States.
James Bryce called attention to this
phenomenon. Mrs. Humphry Ward. a
keen observer of peoples, noticed the
extraordinary effects of this assimila-
ton during one of her Western trips.
Walter Bagehot, in his Illuminating
work on Physics and Politics." pre-
pared the world to understand it by
pointing out that the signal factor in
making dissimilar people one, under
a central government was a faculty
of unconscious imitation. Promote
this faculty and various peoples tend
to be resolved into common type,
with similar ideas and even approx
innate physical looks.
But no other people has displayed
this assimilation on so grand a scale
as is revealed among the 100000 of
tua1 dialects in our English. our points
of view, the very cut of our clothes,
the very shape of the head, tend to be
one. Mrs. Ward saw no differences
in styles, especially among the women
at the remotest railway stations. Our

dardized. Thanksgiving, Christmas.

at home. become more and more alike
the country over.
At time when in Europe national
and racial dissimilarities are assert
ing themselves, what makes for this
oneness in America? One universal
factor that especially promotes I'M
conscious imitation 365 days in the
year, by an overwhelming uniformity
on every breakfast table and around
the evening lamp by night, is the
American newspaper. Complemented
weekly and monthly by the magazine,
this amazing publicity, which leaves
no part of the United States in ignor-
ance of what the other parts are do
ing, works it's wonders.
And, despite the fact that nearly
331 publications in foreign languages.
from Arabic to Russian, serve the spe-
cial needs Of nearly 100000 of
aliens, the great fact remains that the
persistent daily and weekly and
monthly reiteration of American ideas
in a uniform English has, in largest
part, wrought this miracle that as
tonishes the whole world
And in saying this one does not ig-
more the influence of the American
school. But school days are soon over
while the leadership of the American
newspaper is continuous and persist
ent, in season and out of season, and
works its wonders hour by hour and
day by day during youth, maturity,
and green old age.

such purposes and endanger the very
foundation of oGr political institutions.
The door of opportunity must not be
shut and locked fast by monopoly.
Competition has been the main incentive
in the material development of this
great nation, and the recent tendency
towards Its elimination. If not resisted,
would rapidly lead to socialism, nation
al decay and revolution. The political
and industrial life of the nation de-
ponds very largely upon the decision
of the courts on this vital question;
and it is really encouraging to observe
that the present drift is towards sound
and well established economic princi
pies and away from the popular fall
lacies which captured many light think
ing or ultra-selfish people, who in the
pursuit of their purposes are blind to
public welfare. The check upon this
tendency towards monopoly and excess
sive contradictions Of industry may,
of course, be temporarily unse.tling in
Wall street. but the ultimate effect even
upon investments will be highly bene-
fetal, for it will disarm much of the
public criticism naturally aimed at the
great corporations and monopolies
which would surely continue to abuse
the great power obtained without due
restraint. 1t Will be remembered that
none of the calamities which were pre-
dicted IN event of decision against the
Northern Securities company ever hap
rened. On the contrary the decision was
distinctly beneficial: it averted worse
