That Collier verdict against post
UNI" Post Is commented on as follows
in the last issue of 1.-The Public.
That notorious labor-union batter,
Charles w. Post, Of Battle Creek,
Michigan, has come to grief in a.
libel suit with Golfers. Not much
has been said Of it in the newspapers
possibly for reasons indicated in
the editorial account of the matter
which Golfers makes in it's issue Of
December II. But it seems that COL
lier's rejected advertisements of post
UNI cereal." "grape-nuts," etc., and
that there was a reason" which Col
ller's stated. Two years afterward
Golfers made editorial observations
On certain claims for ''grape-nuts''
to the effect that these claims were
Lying, and potentially, deadly lying;"
Whereupon Post used advertising
space in other papers to accuse Col
liers of ''prostituting it's columns to
harm reputable manufacturer for
the purpose of forcing him to adver-
tise.' The owner of Golfers, Ro-
bert J. Collier, thereupon sued the
Postum company for libel; and on
the third of this month a jury in the
Supreme Court of New York found
verdict in favor of Collier and
against the Postum for $4,000. the

bent of mind that too often upon the
bench blocks national progress and
defeats substantial justice through
undue reverence for the dry bones Of
mummified precedents and technical
ities It was Justice White who wrote
the dissenting opinion in the North
ern Securities case, which, had it pre-
vailed, would have held the federal
government powerless to deal with
the holding company device for eff
fecting combinations in restraint of
trade. Justice White concurred in
that amazingly technical "commodi-
ties clause decision constituting the
Hepburn railroad act to mean that
railroads themselves could not own
mines the product of which they car
r1ed, but that the clause did not pre-
vent the railroads owning stock in
third companies, which, in turn, con-
trolled the mines. Justice White
wrote that opinion. Justice White
was of the majority that declared the
employers liability law unconstitu-
t1onal, and he shares the responsible
ity for the Knight case sugar trust
decision that manufacturing is not

THREE VIEWS OF TAFT'S
LATEST JUDICIAL DUMMY

The Boston Sacred Heart Review,
Dec. 17.-President Taft, by his NOM
ination of Justice White of the SUI
preme court of the United States to
the chief justiceship of that tribunal,
regardless of the claim of partisan
politics, or the dictate of religious
prejudice, has done the nation a.
signal service. Every one acknowl-
edges that Judge White has no supe-
rior in his knowledge Of the law, and
judge he stands pre- eminent. His
father and grandfather were distin-
guished jurists and, like himself,
were loyal practical Catholics. He is
thus the second Catholic who will
have filled the exalted office of chief
justice, a position, in the estimation
Of some, higher than that of the pres
idency ITSELF
Philadelphia North American, Feb.
16.-Against the purity of character,
power of intellect, clarity of reason
and high legal ability of the new
chief Justice no fair word Of criticism
can be spoken. His career as lawyer,
senator and associate justice has been

transport persons, merchandise and
intelligence, hew the forests, develop
the mines, and harness the waterfalls:
and by auxiliary laws creating mono
poles, such as the tariff and patent
laws. Property which consists of le-
gal power to confiscate earnings al
ways conflicts with the rights of those
it robs. And that is all there ever
was, is or will be to the economic
conflict; and there can be no end to
that conflict until this kind of pro-
perry is completely destroyed.
Just one fact to illustrate with.
On the American side of Niagara
Falls three private power companies
take all the water for power purposes
that the United States government has
allowed to be taken. Yet though
water power is the cheapest power
known, the rates for electricity for
ordinary consumers in Buffalo are so
high that many large concerns find
1t cheaper to develop their own cleo
tr1c1ty by steam and gasoline, while
nearly all private houses are lighted
with gas.
But on the Canadian side the On
tar1o government has created the Hy-
dro-Electr1c Power commission which
buys cheap power at the falls from a
power company and has built trans
mission lines to many cities for the
delivery of electric energy at cost, the
cities owning their own distribution
plants. The first power was turned
on at Berlin, Ont.
Thus we have robbery on one side
or the Niagara river and service-pub-
TIC serv1ce-on the the other side.
This country has a long and rough
political road to travel before her
political education reaches the level of
many other countries. But the road
lies before us and must be Travelled.

sink back into despotism.

rather emphatic opinion of twelve
good men and true-after weighing
the sworn evidence on both sides, and
hearing the arguments of their
lawyers, and a summing up by the
judge-that Golfers had a legitimate
reason for refusing Postum ADVERTISE
ments. The trial proved as much or
more, as Golfers of the 18th under
takes to disclose in a summary, among
the points in which are these:
"Grape-nuts' and postum" have
been advertised as "cure-alls;" also
as food Of marvellous nourishing pow
er; that the only physician adver-
tised as famous whose name was
signed to a postum testimonial" turn
ed out to be a poor old broken
down homeopathy who received ten
dollars for writing his testimonial"
that the health officers of at least
four states 'have. for years been de-
nouncing as preposterous and fraudu-
lent the claims made by the Postum
Cereal company" and that Post
spends nearly a million a year in ad-
vertising, and relies on that to keep
out of the newspapers the dangerous
nature of the fraud he is perpetrating
on the public" <,
If those assertions Of Golfers are
true-and they are made with a de-
finite sboldness which from such a.
source carries conviction-we are at
loss to understand why labor organ
izations, unless they are ignorant of
the facts, continue their controversy
with Post on labor-union grounds.
Suppose he conceded labor-union la
Dor terms to his employees, would they
then furnish him a labor-union mask
for such a business? Have they no
higher ideals than the newspapers
that sell editorial conscience through
advertising space? We do not be-
lieve it. If Golfers statements are
true, labor organizations owe it to
their membership to make that Post
UNI business an impossible business
so far as they are concerned, labor
union terms or no labor-union terms
so far as the business is concerned.
Golfers announces that "a brief
resume of the testimony in the case
Of Robert J. Collier vs.. Postum Cereal
company, Ltd, in which are contained
some remarkable testimonials on
grape-nuts from DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley the United States government

will be sent on application" and that
the amount Of the verdict against
the. Postum company will be devoted
by Golliarss to exposing fraud. !.

Where Property Rights and
Rights of Property Conflict

We frequently see in editorials and
political speeches such phrases as
Property rights versus the rights of
man." 1.-THE man against the dollar"
when property rights conflict with
human rights am for human rights, :"
and the like.
While phrases Of that sort are dra-
matte, the double meaning of the
words property rights" makes them
confusing and perhaps harmful, says
a writer in 1.-The Public
If a man has earned an honest
dollar, or built house, or sown and
cultivated and reaped a crop, or
created any other wealth by his la
Dor, what might he think of these
declamations about the conflict be-
tween human rights and property
rights He knows that he earned his
wealth without injuring any one, and
he may jump to the conclusion that
he, or his property (Which is a part
Of himself), is being attacked.
OF course the writer's and speakers
are not attacking him, but how
should he know it without an explana-
ton?
Now there can be no conflict be-
tween human rights and rightful pro-
perty.
And there can be nothing but con-
flict between human rights and pro-
perty which is wrongfully such.
The ownership Of what man creates
by his labor, or acquires by fair
exchange of his created wealth, can

property little or much. The only
property the ownership Of which in
jures humanity is a. legal title enabl-
ing one person to confiscate wealth
which is being created by others.
This power is conferred by laws
that permit the legal owners of the
earth to collect tribute from those
who raise crops, carry. on trade,

NO. 8 E. SUPERIOR ST.
Founders and Origi1,ators of Credit
System, on the Easy Payment Plan

The Gately's are today one of the most
progressive and important business enterprise
in the United States. The firm is New Eng
land production. 1t started in business in the
city of Boston just forty-one years ago. and
by its consistent and friendly attitude to-
wards the men and women who earn their liv-
ing, and it's uniform methods of honorable
and square dealing towards all it's patrons
it has grown until it is today the largest and
best credit house in America and with a. chain
OF 80 stores located in every important city
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The firm is recognized by all manufac
turers as being the worlds largest BUYERS and
retailers of mems and women s clothing, and
this enormous purchasing power enables them
to sell their goods on credit as low, and fire.
quently much lower than the same grade of
goods can be bought at the largest metropolitan
department stores.
All Of the firms goods are bought direct
from the manufacturer by the firms general
purchasing staff, with offices in New York and
Chicago. They are bought upon honor, and
with special reference to their quality, reli
ability and worth. Every article is guaran-
teed by the manufacturers to the firm, and
the firm in turn guarantees the same goods to
their customers. So faithfully has the firm
adhered to this policy in all it's transactions
that it has got to be a common saying with
patrons that eff it comes from Gately's, it's
good"
1t is cardinal principle with Gately's to

beneath all, there seems to have
