Fairs are not only educators but are

compared with that imposed by Judge
Lands. Later rulings by Judge An
derson made the District Attorney de-
spair of conviction. He suggested a
dismissal Of the case, and the instruc-
ton to bring in verdict Of not
guilty followed.
The decision will not have a whole
some effect on the public mind. 1t
produces the pessimistic impression
that it is impossible to bring very
rich corporation to justice. The
prophecy was freely made from the
start that the fine imposed by Judge
Lands would never be collected. This
prediction was no doubt upon the
part Of many based more on the be-
lief that the rich corporation would
find means to escape punishment than
because of the enormous amount of
the fine.
The great difference in the two de-
cisions appears to have come Of evil
dence which Judge Lands admitted
and Judge Anderson excluded. This
evidence was the Illinois classification
by which it was sought to prove the

YOU PAY.

Last night, at the Harvard Union,
Congressman Mccall said: The
country has been passing through
wild orgy Of extravaganza in which
much has been consumed in fireworks
and fustian, and great burdens Of ex-
pense have been unnecessarily fas-
tened on the country. Now, as a re-
suit, we are to have taxation such as
the country has usually known only
as a result Of war, and the people
will have an opportunity to pay the
bills. " This is graphic. It does not
leave much room for argument.
Spending other peoples money is
pastime which almost every one en-
joys, when there is a chance to III
dulge in it. A great many voters
seem to think that the national ap-
preparation bills are paid by the 9th
er fellow. This would be kind Of him
If he were really SO indulgent. Con-
gresham Mccall would have the peo-
pie remember that it is not the other
fellow who pays, but themselves. Old
as the truth is, it is as true as ever

THE TENNESSEE COAL MERGER

The subcommittee Of the judiciary
committee to which was referred the
merger Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company with the United States Steel
Corporation, reported to the full COM
mittee that the President was not au
thorized to permit the deal. 1t also
reported that the President was not
authorized to prevent the interference
of the Attorney General to enforce the
Federal statutes against it; that the
merger was in violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law; and that the eff
feet and purpose of the merger was
to destroy competition and monopO-
lie the iron ore supply Of the country.
What will the committee do with
the subcommittee report9 And
what will Congress do with the case
in general? We shall wait and see.
In the meantime we shall compare Tor

found the defendants guilty and
Judge X. M. Lands, who presided,
imposed the sensational fine Of $780,
100000. The case was remanded by
the United States Court of Appeals
and on it's second trial before Judge
A. B. Anderson the jury was instruct
ed to find verdict Of not guilty.
These extremes necessarily bewilder
the public, not schooled in the niceties
Of legal distinctions and the points
on which the case was in either in
stance decided.
The company was charged with ac-
cepting rebates from the Chicago &
Alton Railroad, which, if true, was
clear violation of the Federal stat
utes. The enormous fine imposed by
Judge Lands came of his construc-
ton of the law by which he imposed
the limit Of the statutory fine for ev-
cry car load of oil on which the re-
bates were alleged to have been grant
ed. Early in the proceedings Of the
trial just ended Judge Anderson's
rulings indicated that his construc-
ton of the statute. would make the
fine apply only to each lot of oil ship
ped by the company on which rebates
were accepted, and this would have
reached about $4,000, consider
able sum, but of small consequence

Will the judiciary committee dare
to adopt the findings of its sub-com-
mittee? If it does, it will be up to
the House to institute impeachment
proceedings.
Later: On Feb. 26 the House killed
an amendment to the sundry civil bill
appropriating $4,000 to prosecute the
merger case by vote Of 113 to SO;
and on March l the Judiciary commit
tee voted to report disagreement on

Public Opinion Throughout the Union

The first decision was beyond doubt
to a degree spectacular. The Judge
appeared to be Influenced by the vim
dictiveness which is popularity mani
tested towards the Standard Oil Conn
pany. But for this feature it might
have stood the test Of the higher
court. But the greater part of the
public will continue to believe that
the rebates were actually accepted
and there will be little patience with
the fine point Of law that prevented a
