MORE IMPORTANT THAN
NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE

Washington, April THE prosecu-
ton Of the Standard Oil company be-
gun today In the federal court at st.
Louis is regarded by the law officers
of the government as the most impor-
tant that has eve been brought under
the antitrust law. 1t is vastly more
important than was the Northern Sc
curities case in the opinion of the Off =
Gals of the administration.
President Taft is deeply interested
in it, because he expects that the de-
cisiOn in it will indicate pretty con
clusively what virtue there is In the
present laws for the suppression of
~monopolies. The president, as a cir
cult Judge, wrote the famous decision
in the Addison Pipe Stone case, which
was the corner stone of the whole
structure of anti-monopoly decisions
from that day to this. The Standard
Oil case will be based by the govern
ment's lawyers In large measure on the
reasoning laid down by Mr.. Justice
Taft in that case and developed and ex-
banded in application by other courts
in numerous cases since. But at the
foundation is the Addison case, or
which Justice Taft worked for many
months. and in which he made a rul-
ing. afterward sustained, under which
q great combination was overturned.
To Supreme Court.
The government is anxious to secure
a decision as SOC as possible in the
Standard Oil case. 1t will go to the su-
preme court of the United States, no
matter which side wins in the lower
court; and every possible means will
be employed by the government to ex-
pedite 1t. Until a final decision shall
be reached, ii will be difficult to lay
down any conclusive policy for the law
department. or to make any effective
recommendation as to legislation re-
Iating to anti trust legislation.
President Taft is deeply Interested in
getting a code Of laws n line OF
legal ~precedents established, for hand
ling m%onopolies by process OF law and

FOR SENSIBLE PEOPLE, ONLY

Just the finest sort of a man said
TO me the other day-after he had ex-

around on things in general-''Life's

I've regarded that man. do you

then-for I actually believe he has

He said something else-did this
man, and he's practical worth while

takes the Lord twenty five long years

who thinks he can appear on the
scene in a week or a month or even
q year, and then understand her!"

full lines from all vantage points.

the blocks being arranged, called the
sponsor. Miss Elizabeth Hannah, the
heImsman, Capt. Joe Mason, and
such guests as so desired, to come on
board. Everything now being in readt-
ness, that air Of subdUed excitement
and expectancy that always pervade
the spectators OF such occasions was
plainly apparent. Captain HoOdless
seeing that everything was ship
shape, gave the command TO knock
the blocks away, and as the graceful
little vessel slowly gained momentum,
the beautiful young sponsor, her cOun-
tenance beaming with excitement and
pleasure, gracefully raised the pro-
verbal bottle of wine, and in neat
speech. wishing all the good things,
broke the bottle over the bows with
the final words, II christen thee
Chicopee.' Meantime the vessel
had gained speed rapidly, and quickly
plunged her nose into the placid wa
tiers Of the BlackwateT. only to quick
