modern times in that respect approaches
the Standard Oil combination, in all its
forms II we are looking to the evidences
of oppression, and unfair dealing no COM
bination is equal in its obnoxious feature
The brief is composed OF three large
printed volumes Of almost 500 pages each.
Volume is largely. composed OF the his
tory OF the Standard Oil from its incep-
tion to the present tracing the trail Of the
Octopus inch by inch.
The "Father Of Trusts"
OF the trust as driven from Ohio, and the
present concern, the brief says:
'The Trust was declared void as i'm re-
straint and monopolization OF commerce;
the corporation took its place, and con-
tnues identically the same business. in the
same manner, exercising the same con-
troll, and restraining and monopoizng
commerce in exactly the same manner.
And the same men controlled each. In ef-
feet, it was the same conspiracy. In fact,
except by the exchange of corporation cer-
tihcates for the trustees certificates. upon
the markets. the world knew no difference.
I'VE venture to say that there never was
a combination before the court, bearing
so many ear marks OF oppression, suppress
sion OF competition. and monopoly, as this
Standard combination. There never has
been time when the conspiracy was at
an end or completed. There never was a
time when the conspiracy was so far COM
pleted that the statute of limitation could
be said to have commenced to run. or that
the conspiracy could be alleged without
stating the antecedent steps and tho rea-
son is. that it is a continuing conspiracy
constantly operating upon the commerce
Of the country. and constantly changing
and shifting to seek new conditions as they
present themselves"
According to the brief the Standard OIL
Company is the father OF trusts. 1t de-
clares that the Standard oil was the first
of the great industrial combinations to
be organized; that it was conceived by
John j. Rockefeller. and his counsel, in
order to avoid the illegality Of combining
all of the various concerns in the Stand
ard oil Company in Ohio; and that it was
followed. as is always the case, in at
tempts to evade the law by other COM
binations of a like form. notably the
Sugar Trust. the Whisky Trust and the
Paint and Lead Trust.

ATLANTICS TALK
OVER SCHEDULE
Will Open Season on May 6
and Close on Septem-
Der 6

Nagnates representing the Atlantic
League decided yesterday at a meeting
held I'm Philadelphia to open the cham
pionship season on May 6, instead Of on
May Il, as originally planned The season
will close September 8. Fourteen magnates
attended the meeting and from the re-
ports made by the representatives of the
clubs in the league, a successful season Is
anticipated. Reports from the owners Of
Sunbury and New Brunswick, who are
applying for admittance into tlN league,
were read. and although It will not be
definitely known until tonight what action
will be taken, II is almost a certainty that
they will be admitted. t,-
The schedule was handled with a view
Of trying. in so far as possible, to give
the various clubs the best possible dates.
Towns which are prohibited from playing
Sunday baseball were given as many Sat
urday dates as possible. and everything
possible was done TO make the financial
end of the clubs the best possible success.
A few minor details necessary to complete
the schedule were left to the discretion of
President Dobbins. and viii be given out
for publication the latter part Of this
week.
Five umpires have been engaged which
leads to the belief that the league viii be
composed Of ten clubs. The umpires Sc
lected by the directors are Abe Lezotte, Of
Wilkesbarre; William sminlS, of Paterson,
n. j.; Patty Henner OF Pottsville; George
Falon. Of Easton, and Jacob Foard, OF
ShamoSin, Pa
"Never in the history OF our league"
said President Dobbins at the conclusion
Of the meeting, "have the prospects been
brighter for success than at present. The
managers and owners of the clubs have
all secured a speedy bunch Of ball-tossers.
and / look for an article of ball equal to
the major leagues. 1t is true that we are
an outlaw league, but We are such be-
cause we have been refused protection.
Time and time again we have applied to
the National Association for recognition,
but each attempt has proved unsuccessful.
1--WE owe our position in the baseball
world to the fact that the managers and
owners OF our clubs are men of long ex-
perience in the great game, many Of them
having been members of major league
clubs. We are fair i'm our treatment of
other leagues and we fail 10 understand
why we are not given the same courtesy.
We have never accepted contract jump
er. and don't believe in the reservation of
players

unInt.ntIonal s.bba.h nrsakina.

In the early days of New England Il
was the custom to keep the Sabbath
from sundown Saturday night until
the same hour on Sunday. That this
practice was attended by pitfalls is
shown by an incident told in ''The Pa
pers OF the Connecticut Valley Histor-
ical Society,""
There lived in Ryefield a thrifty
dame. an enterprising. driving woman
and a notable housewife. The good wo-
man was not willing to lose Sunday
evenings out Of her catalogue Of house
work. but she was pious withal and
strictly kept the day TO the sunset
limit. AS soon as the sun was fairly
below the horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she. supposing
the day was ended, changed her Sum
day gown. rolled up her sleeves and
went to work. AS she was scrubbing
away in the kitchen. her face toward
the west window, the clouds suddenly
broke. and the great round sun shone
in full on the poor Sabbath breaker at
work. She gave one cry Of amazement
and horror and ned the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be-
gan her work on Sunday evening.

The Populist party is only q
youth but it can grow longer
whiskers than either of the two
old parties.
Give the political bosses and
their armies of subordinates all
that is CON ing to them and the
population of our prisons will be

Place the Suffragette on a po-
litical footing with man tomorrow

not be enough children in this
country to form a living flag.
Peary is SO selfish that if he had
reached the North Pole first he
would have creased it and thus
prevented other explorers who
might follow in his wake from
climbing it.
Before starting on his Western
tour it was said that President Taft
would dig a hole in which both
factions of his party would bury
their hatchets, but his speeches
would indicate that he is not the
mouthpiece of the pipe of peace
| When Abraham Lincoln wal

world he wore a hat of better

when a rail splitter, but it wa
