THE COMMODITIES
DECISION SERIOUS
THE SUPREME COURT DOES NOT
SEEM TO HAVE SETTLED
ANY QUESTION.
Either a LoophoIe to Allow Trusts to
Escape or Hint For New
Legislation.

| WASHINGTON, May S.-One OF the
most serious results of the Supreme
Court decision in the commodities
case, in the opinion of legal experts
here will be to embarrass the gov
eminent in the prosecution of the most
important cases now on the Federal
docket. These are the Federal suits
now pending in st. Louis for the dis
solution of the Standard Oil Company
and in Salt Lake City against
/ Union Poetic Railroad to release is
stock contract over the Southern Pa
cific and other zines. Frank b. Kel-
| logg, of Minnesota, chief trust bust
er" of the Roosevelt administration
has charge of the Standard Oil suit.
this week but left without expressing
an opinion upon the decision in the
commodities. The attorneys who fore
see the callopse of the two great suits
take the ground that the decision
recognizes the validity of the holding
company or form of control of sub
sidary corporations. upon which the
whole legal structure Of the trust has
| been raised, in the case of Standard
Oil, or by which the Southwestern
and other railroad mergers have been
effected. The decision is interpreted
| by some as containing a hint to cor
porations as to how they may combine
without violating the law; by others
as a plain suggestion to congress that
| legislation is necessary to close a loop
hole in the law.
The decision was discussed at the
Cabinet meeting today. President Taft
repeatedly has announced that he IN
tends to take up and study the ques-
| ton of the control of corporations
| during the summer months and that
he hopes to be in position next De-
cember to submit definite views to
congress on the subject. The com
modities clause" decision undoubted-
ly will have distince bearing upon
his considerations of the matter and
it was said today that Mr.. Taft will
! devote himself largely to the Subject
of recommending to congress the pass
age of legislation which will prevent
the possibility Of an evasion of the
clause by the coal railroads. Under
the decision of the court the railroads
can carry the coal of any company
which they do not own outright.
| Through holding companies, however,
they could control the mine and the
transportation of the output as though
no law on the subject existed. To
remedy the act in this respect will be
the question to which the President
will first direct his inquiry. Mr.. Taft
Will also have recommendations to
make as to legislation to bring rail
road and other corporations more def
initely under government regulations
ITO clinch the Roosevelt policies
was one of the campaign slogans of
Mr.. Taft, and it is said, the commodi-
ties clause decision will give him an
early opportunity to make clear his
position as President in regard to that
class of legislation. In speeches the
President recently has stated the ne
cesity of amendments to the Sherman
Act.

negro in the streets of Washington.
So far Captain Hobson is taking only
a nominal part in the Alabama cam'
paign. His defense is that he more
truly represents Southern sentiment
and the right-than his detractors. He
claims that by dismissing the negro
soldiers who shot up the town Roose-
welt let loose on the community a
number of untried murderers, who
should have been investigated by "a
regular tribunal Secondly, he be-
lievs that the negro is of an inferior
race: not to be treated as a social
and political equal but entitled in
other rspcts to the same treatment as
tho white man.
What Hobson's Friends Say.
at is as bad to steal Negroes hay
as a white MANS" say the friends of
Hobson. "Now these negro soldiers
are entitled to trial before a regular
civil or military tribunal. They never
have had such a trial, where they may
be heard under oath, subject 10 tins
penalties for perjury The negro sol
diers who had served for a term OF
years and were near the time where
they could be retired on half pay, IL
innocent had a property right in that
status as much as to a hog or mule.
When Roosevelt dismissed all the sol
diers without a hearing before reg
ular tribunal, any who might have
retirefent rights were deprived OF
their property, and were entitled to
hearing as much as if a hog or a mule
had been stolen. The best sentiment
of the South does not clamor 1or the
disgrace of its most brilliant men
when they call for justice for the
blacks; justice before the courts, i'll
the enforcement of contracts and in
the protection Of life and property"
Treated in this way, say Hobson and
his friends, but occupying subordi-
nate place socially and politically, the
negro is a valuable asset to the South,
Captain Hobson is going quietly
about his district continuing the CAM
paign of agricultural education which
has given him his hitherto undimmed
popularity with his farmer constitu'
ents. He is accompanied by half
dozen government experts, and they
will hold daily institutes in about thlr-
ty dierent towns. With the backing
the agricultural department has Civ
en- him, he has put dollars into the
pockets of his constituents every year.
Probably common sense will triumph
when the nomination is made the next
time but Hobson recognized when he
made his defense of the black man
and his rights that some powerful vot-
ing elements in the South had no use
for justice.
