At last a court has jUdicially pro-
nounced Kentucky's tobacco pooling
trust to be a violation of the state s
antitrust laws and combination In re-
straint of trade. Judge Bambach's de-
cision is the first on record which treats
farmers combinations in the same way
as commercial trusts, applying impair
TALLY and in perfect equity the anti
trust statutes to any combination by
whomsoever formed. To cOncede that
anybody, no matter who, is exempt
from an equal application of the law is
to establish precedence of such un-
democratic and unrepublican privilege
as to undermine the very foundation on
which our government of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none is
based. 1t will be an everlasting re-
proach for the Roosevelt administration
that it never took cOgnizance OF the
most pernicious, the most CRIMINAL anG
law-defying trust, the Kentucky To-
bacco Pool combination, while 1t clam
orously put forth its claim to popular
favor and gratitude as averltable trust
slayer. One Of the strictest provisions
Of the antitrust laws is the prohibition
of arbitrarily raising the price OF any
commodity, but there is no comhlna-
ton in the country either commercial
or otherwise that has raised the price
of commodity, not only SO arbitrarily,
but by such foul and criminal means as
Kentucky's tobacco pooling trust. 1t
has been one of the most dlsgraceful
blots on American civilization, on
American laws and American govern
ment, and anybody helping to wipe this
blot out deserves a lasting monument
of appreciation. u. S. Tobacco Jour-
nal. Another Kentucky judge has
since held a planter liable for damages
where he broke away from the pool
and sold his tobacco after signing a
contract placing the crop with the Bur-
ley pool for disposal.

The American Tobacco Co. have
brought suit against the American
Vitagraph Co., who had charge of TAX
ing the moving pictures of the Jefries-
Johnson fight, for $3.50 damages.
The American Tobacco Co. contracted
with the moving picture concern to
placard the arena in San Francisco,
where the fight was originally to be
be held, with Bull Durham advertise
ments, so placed that they would ap-
pear in the moving pictures. When
the fight was taken to Reno this ar
rangement was overlooked.

Again the Agricultural Department
comes around with it's July crop report
containing statistics concerning the to-
bacco crop about as useless and unre-
liable as last years birds nest.
About the middle of July the report
says there is per cent decrease in
the intended acreage in the Wisconsin
crop, when everyone knows long before
that date that under the most favor
able circumstances there can scarcely
be half crop The trouble seems to
be that the statistical department is
such cumbersome body that the en-
ployees stand in one another's way and
nothing is accomplished in time or sea-
son when the information if promptly
gathered could be of value. If the re-
ports on other commodities are SO bad
Iy awry with the facts there is little
excuse to keep up such an expensive
adjunct Of the department. We believe
there must be a greater value to be
given the statistics of other crops. The
report on Wisconsin is as follows:
1.-THE falling off of per cent in the
area was caused by lateness of plants
and unfavorable weather conditions st
TIME of transplanting. Growth in the
beds was retarded by cold weather in
May and the first half of June. With
little rainfall in the last-named month
plant growth was further checked and
the ground put in unfavorable condi-
ton for transplanting. In the first
planted fields good stand was Sc
cured, but on account of hot weather
and dry soil large per cent of the
later paintings died; much replanting
was necessary. The full area had not
been planted when reports were made
to the Bureau and conditions were not
favorable for a good crop"

GREAT REVIVAL.

There have been many revivalisS
come to Denver, but none has aroused
more interest in the work he comes to
do than has Rev. T. L. Scott, who Is
conducting the series OF meetings at
Campbell church, OF which Rev. VIII
liams is pastor. For three weeks un-
precendented crowds have gone to the
church nightly and nearly hundred
have left OF their cid ways and taken
up the new life. In that time for sew
eral services, many have been turned
away because both the pews and
standing room could hold no more.
The forceful presentation OF the gos
pei and the matchless singing Of the
old familiar hymns has been a mag
net that attracted to Campbell church
saint and sinner until it is familiar
sight nowadays to see crowds going
thitherward each night. All attempt
to describe the power which Rev.
Scott exerts over his hearers fails.
The dozens Of men young and old
that have come into the church at his
call is more eloquent OF his ability
than any mere word description. No
small part OF his influence comes
from his matchless singing. Without
other aid than his own voice, he leads
his song service and many. half per
suaded by his preaching, are won com.
pletely by the old tunes OF other days.
made sacred by memories OF mother
and home.
The services will continue through
