THE ANTITRUST ACT.
How it Was Drafted and Methods of
Enforcement
New York Evening Post.


New York Evening Post.
Ex-senator Edmund's letter to Mr..
Charles p. Rowland on the antitrust law
presents more than one element Of unusual
interest. In the first place, 1t comes from a
man Of 50, but is written with a vigor and
in~cisiveness much more suggestive of 2s;
and it comes from a man who was, for a
generation, one of the small and remark
able group of great lawyers in the United
States senate. There are, in Mr.. Edmunds'
letters, two particular statements of fact
that deserve special notice. The first is
that the antitrust act, which is habitually
referred to under the name Of Senator
Sherman, was not his work, or the work
Of any other member of the Finance som
mittee; it was completely rewritten by the
Judiciary committee, and was really the
work of zone Of the members of that COM
mittee"-which is merely Mr.. Edmunds'
way of saying that it was his own work.
The other particular statement of fact is
that, in the knight case, the decision in
which did so much to weaken the efficacy
of the law, the feeling of members of the
bar of the supreme court was that the
case had been very feebly and inefficiently
presented to the court. AS for Mr.. Ed
munds' general views, they are entirely in
line with what has recently become a
growing conviction in and out of govern
ment circles-that a vigorous unfolding Of
the law along lines that time will make
palmer and palmer is capable of accom-
plishjng great and vitally-needed results. No
law administers itself; and in the case Of
a law whose scope is so comprehensive and
whose subject-matter is 50 complex, we
have got to he prepared for difficulties and
delays in establishing its efficacy. 1t is
only in the last few years that anything
like adequate attention has been given to
the carrying out of the purpose of the law,
1t will be time enough to throw it into
the waste-basket after serious effort to en-
force it shall nave been given a trial Of
reasonable duration.

The Lenten Season.

With Ash Wednesday the Lenten
season has begun in the religious
world. Services in churches through
out the land have i~naugurated for
thousands of people the observance
commemorative Of the closing days OF
Christ's life on earth. In connection
with the commemoration Of Lenten
season is the observance of the forty
days of fasting and deep thoughtful
ness, which in some churches is also
a period If sacrifice for charity's
sake"
There are few church people who
complain about the Lent interfering
with their social pleasures, although
there are a few. The majority really
welcome the season, glad of a chance
to rest from social duties and the ex
ira demands of other seasons of the
year. 1t does them good to stop, to
'listen to the sound of their own
thoughts" for a time and realize a sol.
emn duty for the sake OF religious
principles.
The world is moving pretty fast in
this century and If one is going to last
in his efforts it behooves him to look
to reflective rest occasionally. The
tendency of man in all ages of history
is to get away from the spiritual and
emphasize the material. While people
are not over spiritual in these days,
there is more spirituality among the
men of the business world than is gen

DISCRIMINATING the English Sparrow

discriminating the English Sparrow.
The English sparrow must CO."
says the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. 1t has been a menace to
many species of native birds besides
being of no appreciate value as a de-
stroyer OF insects and worm pests and
being a great nuisance IN horticulture.
In fact, the English sparrow has been
outlawed on all counts known and has
been condemned to determination as
a detriment to the country as a whole.
The work OF destroying these Gun
ming, destructive and filthy birds Is
no small Job when one considers the
number OF them in this country. This
task has been taken up by the biolog-
zeal survey at the behest OF the De
partment OF Agriculture n the work
is actually begun. A pamphlet has
been issued urging that all nests and
roosting places ~frequented by spar.
rows be destroyed, great care being
taken not to interfere with the nests
OF native American birds.
This pamphlet ~pronounces a very
severe judgment on these birds, de-
claring, among other things, that "in
its economic relations the English
sparrow among birds is comparable to
the rat among animals" About the
only credit given is that It consumes
considerable weed seed, but in every
other way it has nothing to boast.
The main source of grievance is found
in the fact that 1t is a great destroyer

a digestion somewhat injured by pri-

tall man, with profile like razor,

a high cravat and a coat of very old
fashioned cut, Joined the company at

Fines, and the colonel clenched his
fists angrily when he learned that he
was a captain in the Body Guard.
A few days after, a serious incident
caused an outbreak of the storm
which had long been rumbling in the
colonels heart
This man of bronze had one weak
ness; he was passionately fond of
lobster. Wednesday was a festival
with him, for every Wednesday Moras-

high price of this extra, he bought
only one. And his patrons consider

Five minutes later, the two lovers
of lobster stood, sword in hand, on
the billiard table in the next room,
and, at the second thrust, the colonel
received a wound most artistically
dealt in the neighborhood of the
shoulder, which kept him in bed for
two weeks. This time he had found
his master, and it was not surprising
during his 20 years of exile Count
de Fines had taught fencing in the
Royal academy of Berlin. ... X

He had not been on the veranda
