In the case Of Pink Franklin, the South Caro-
Ina negro under sentence of death for murder,
the Supreme Court of the United States attrms

consideration to the brief by which ex-Attorney
General Benaparte sought the hnelight.

parties feelings BY avoiding consideration OF tins

courage the repetition of contention which, u
sustained, would make for conditions of anarch%
and immunity from crime.
The South Carolina statute, similar to others Of
like intent in Southern States, was passed in the
hope Of doing something IL make stable the ttiteer
tain condition Of farm labor. As technically
providing for imprisonment for debt, these
statutes are now conceded to be unconstitutional.
But to lay down a rule such as that advocated by

farm laborer, would be his constitutional

gerous bv virtue of it's logically possible scope.
Invoking the Sherman to prevent
operative raising of rates by competing lines,
would seem, however, to hc action IN accordance
with the true intent of the .tautc-it, indeed,
it had any honest intent behind it. The freight
rate is as much of Il popular commodity as bread
or coal. It's increase is the most direct method
by which trade can be restrained And the
method by which, denied the right OF actual
combination themselves, competing roads achieve
a like result by the publication OF rates fixed
upon by committee~sor tariff commissioner
would seem an evasion SO bollfaced and clumsy
not to stand for>a mo.rnt the scrutiny Of
the courts.
Why such action has never been taken before
might possibly be explained By the Department
of Justice. That it is taken now shows rather
a healthy state of public enlightenment than ac-
ceas of sincerity in the Office of the Attorney
General The Sherman law has been used long
enough as a political weapon. Let 1t be hoped
thar the present suit means It's practical appli-
cation TO some ends of public benefit.
