STANDARD OUsTED
FROM TENNESSEE
US. Supreme Court UphoIds State
Anti Trust Law.
FIGHT STARTED IN YEAR 1907
Every Contention Made by the Oil
Company is Decided Against It.
Merchants Were Bribed to Coun-
termand Orders.


Washington, D. C.-The decree OF
the Supreme Court of Tennessee GUST
ing the Standard Oil Company of Ken
lucky from doing business in the
State of Tennessee was affirmed by
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The proceedings were begun in
1907 under the Tennessee Antitrust
act. The charges against the Stand
ard originated from a transaction in
Gallatin. Tenn. The Standard of
Kentucky had oil stored in tanks in
Tennessee, from which it obtained a
supply to serve merchants throughout
various sections of the State. The
Evansville Oil Company, of Evans
Vile. Ind, sent a salesman to Gallatin
to sell oil. He obtained orders,
whereupon the agent of the Standard
Oil offered to give the merchants ten
gallons of oil to a barrel to counter
mand their purchase orders from the
Evansville Oil Company. Four of
them accepted.
The Standard and two of it's agents
were luulCLGQ uAuCl IhO uoe
act. One of the agents was convicted,
but the Standard escaped punishment
on the ground that it could not be
fined under the act, but could only be
ouSted.
Custer proceedings were then be-
gun against it, the charges being
based on the Gallatin transaction.
The State courts issued an ousting
decree from which an appeal was Ia
ken to the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States.
This appeal was based on the argu-
ment that the alleged criminal agree
ment, if it were an o~ffense, was an Of
tense against the Federal law, the
Sherman Antitrust law, and not an
offense against the laws of Tennes-
see; that the statute was unconstitu-
tional, because it violated the equal
protection and due process clauses OF
the Constitution, and because the
statute of limitations was effective.
Justice Holmes announced the opin-
ion of the court. All the contentious
of the company were disposed of fav-
orably to the State.
In discussing the argument that the
III To- law 40 oPPAiSo W VIM SooN
interfered with interstate commerce,
Justice Holmes said:
THE present statute (the act OF
Tennessee) deals with the conduct OF
third persons, strangers to the bust
ness. 1t does not regulate the bust
ness. 1t is not even directed against
interference with that business spe-
cially, but against acts of a certain
kind that the State disapproves in
whatever connection. The mere fact
that 1t may happen to remove an in
reference with commerce among the
States as well with the rest does not
invalidate it. 1t hardly would be an
answer to an indictment of forgery
that the instrument forged was a for
eign bill of lading, or for assault and
battery that the person assaulted was
engaged in peddling goods from an
other State"

He said:

luxuriant crop of hair on the baldest
head in the crowd. But let me give
you this one word of warning
Here he paused to pocket a half
dollar and hand a bottle of the
liquid to a baldhead.
"'My warning is-do not neglect,
when the full head of hair is grown,
to take the last dose in the bottle
internally. That is, swallow it,
Swallow it! What for?' the
buyer asked.

Henry VIII.

1t was in the year. 1909 that King
Henry VIII. assembled the English
throne. He was the second of the
Tudor monarchs and the second son
of King Henry VII. and Elizabeth
of York, and thus united the rival
claims of the houses of Lancaster and
York. During the first years OF his
reign" says Chambers, Henry held
a place in the hearts Of his people
such as no English monarch before
or since has aver held. This affec-
tionate admiration, which with
strangely little diminution he re-
tanned to the last, was due to the
fact that of all England's kings he
was the most intensely English"
