 A petition from the Globe Gas & Electric company, asking that the street be graded in front of it's new building in Broad street, was laid on the table.
 The council approved bills amounting to $2600, which will be paid Monday by City Clerk Welch.
 There was some discussion of the con troversy between the Globe City band and the fire department, which demands $l0 month rent from the musicians, but no action was taken by the council It was brought out, however, that the aldermen are practically unanimous in the opinion that the hall belongs to the frement and that it is 10 more than right the band should pay rent.

 A late decision of the supreme cour. out of which it was sought to make a good deal of "bear" capital, was that in which the court held by divided vote that people who bought goods from corporate combination that had been judicially established to be in restraint of trade, need not pay for them. It was soon discovered that the case had little relevancy to any liti. gation now pending, or to the legal status of existing corporations. The socalled wall paper trust, which was the offender in the present instance, has long been in process of dissolution, ard the action of the supreme court in the matter really belongs to the domain of aneicnt history. So far as pronounce ments of federal court were concern
 ed last week, one of the most interest ing certainly was the declaration by the United States commissioner of cor porations in his annual report that it was idle for the government to attemp. to stop the progress of concentration and consolidation of industries in uur country; that the sherman antitrust law in endeayoring to prohibit eombina- tions and agreements in business has practically failed, and that, moreover, it had even actually inforced among these corporations closer forms of con solidation than had previously existed

PROHIBITION.

Rabbi Sale, of st. Louis, Insists 1t Can
not Be Enforced
st. Louis, May disappearing his
statement from quotations from the
Bible, Blackstone and Herbert Spen-
Ger, Rabbi Samuel Sale, of the Share
Emeth Hebrew Congregation, took a
decided stand against prohibition in
his sermon before his congregation
ANY law that is directly opposed
to human nature cannot be enforced"
he said, land is vastly more harmful
than good, because it will be dis
obeyed, and thereby teach a disrespect
for law in general The prohibition
movement is the most dangerous thing
confronting the American people to-
day, for it cannot be enforced, and it
will teach a disrespect for all law.
"A prohibition law could not be en-
forced in England with it's absolute
monarchy under George II, so how can
we expect it to be enforced in this
country, where the people are more
free? We have enough disrespect for
law in this country now. Let us not
make it worse by passing the one
that will be most disobeyed of all"
In his address the rabbi quoted at
length from Herbert Spencers THE
Study of Sociology" in which Spen
Ger shows how the old prohibition
law of Great Britain was repealed in
1743, because the consumption of gin
increased every year after the heavy

He said the best example of how
