ity if it had decided to let the islands
send over all the cigars and sugar they
could. So far there is no Indication
that there is any chance of exceeding
the limit imposed.
The bureau of insular affairs of the
war department has been informed
that during the month of September,
7,355,000 cigars were shipped from the
Philippines to the United States and
$4,000 tons of sugar. These figures are
accepted as a fair monthly average
At this rate of expectation there will
be many less than the $50 ,000, 900 cigars
allowed free entry. Similarly, it is not
expected that there will be 100000 tons
of sugar. Much of the sugar which
cleared for the United States during
the month of September was held back
pending the action of congress so that
it is likely that there will be smaller
amount shipped during the forthcom-
ing months of the fiscal years.

THE DECISION AGAINST STAND
ARD OIL.

Whether the recent decision of the
federal court of Missouri against the
Standard Oil company will be of much
practical Importance is not certain
likely to be SMALL but it is at least
encouraging and gratifying to have ii
courts that the methods of such trusts
as Standard Oil to monopolize pro-
duct are unlawful. And that the opin-
ion of Judge Sanborn was concurred
in by three other federal judges ap-
supreme court improbable. The gist
of the decision is contained in this ex-
tract:
1.-The exchange of the stock or
shares in the ownership of COMPETE
tive corporations engaged in inter-
state or international commerce for
stock or shares in the ownership of a
single corporation, the necessary
feature of which is a direct and sub
stantial restriction of competition on
that commerce, constitutes a COM
bination in restraint of commerce
among the states or with foreign
nations that is declared illegal by
this law
Standard Oil became a great mo-
nopoly by buying out or undersell
ing and so driving out competing
concerns, and by establishing os-
tensibly Independent companies in
different states, but which were real
ly branches of the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey. Stock of these
purchased or established companies
was exchanged for that of the New
Jersey corporation, and so a trust
was formed, competition suppressed
and a monopoly established.
This exchange of stock the court
declares unlawful. but it remains to
be seen whether Standard Oil can
not reestablish and maintain it's
by some other means. On
the surface, it is a notable victory,
but in it's immediate results it may
be but a barren victory; but it is val
liable in what it suggests and signifies
as to the power of the government to
control the great trusts, and the more
effective exercise of that power, in
future.

SIMPLE HEROISM

In the Illinois Miae disaster there
was manifestation of much heroism
Both on the part of the rescuers and
the rescued there were numerous ex-
hibitions of splendid self sacrificing
courage, of fortitude and of tender
consideration for the weaker compan-
ion in distress. The story of that ter
rible catastrophe, while replete with
horror, is nevertheless an illuminat-
ing page in the record of simple her
Oism.
Within the scope of editorial com
ment it is not possible to indulge in
much detail, though the temptation is
strong and scarcely to be resisted.
Suffice to say that in all this terrible
tragedy the predominating fact was
the effort to save the other man, and
the more strenuous if the other man
happened to be the weaker man. Sim
pie and unlettered foreigners, Injured
to the dangers of their occupation as
the victims were, they displayed that
quality of heroism which strengthens
ones faith in humanity.
AS exemplifying the spirit of heroic
resignation and unselfish considera-
ton for others that animated the I'M
fortunate men, we select one instance
that is worthy of detailed presentation
which shows that the humblest man.
like the most exalted, may draw in
spiration from his hard and homely
environment which teaches him how

the rescued when revived at the mouth

all hope of ever seeing her again had
