Reasonable,

In the past few years. especially, the
people have become very familiar with
the doctrine OF ''reasonableness" in
court decisions. @
The power OF regulation Of corpora
tons, for example. Is upheld by the
courts: but, with or without express
provision in the regulatory statutes.
the courts have uniformly, ruled OF late
years that control OF rates or OF SER
vice must permit reasonable profit
They have even declared what are
reasonable profits in specific cases
as the six per cent. rule in the consoH-
dated gas case.
With this In mind, 1t would seem
that the recognition Of 1.-The rule OF
reason" in constituting the Sherman
antitrust act, is hardly as unprecedent.
ed and revolutionary as some states.
men appear to regard 1t. The whole
subject OF the relation OF courts to
statutes, to the constitution. to the po-
lice power OF the people, etc. may pre-
sent problem Of readjustment. But
there seems. at any rate, to have been
a quite consistent development or ex-
ercise of judicial power along these
lines.

That steel Trust scand AL.

One object in connection with the
coming Investigation of the steel trust
Is to secure and give to the public
the facts concerning the absorption OF
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company
by the great corporation.
Permission for this merger was one
of the scandals Of the time and OF the
Roosevelt administration.
No serious question was raised OF
the lack Of power. under the Sherman
law. to prevent absorption.
One day. however. Mr.. Morgan paid
visit to the White House.
After that. the steel trust absorbed
the Tennessee company, with no Least
show OF opposition on the part OF the
administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's admirers always
have asserted that he is the SOUL OF
honor-that no successful attack could
be made upon his honesty.
II the proposed investigation shs :I II
result in making known to the people
the facts and influences behind what
was and is regarded as a gross per.
version OF law and Justice. the coun.
try will have occasion to render yer.
dict on such assertion.

Not a Central Bank.

If one meets business man, or
even a banker, and asks him what he
thinks of the Aldrich plan. he will be
found in nearly every case to have
formed, an opinion, and will say that
something ought to be done with the
currency and banking system, but that
the Aldrich plan is central bank in
disguise and that. If put in operation.
the bank would be controlled by the
Wall street money powerI t5
This opinion is SO deep-rooted and
universal that the public mind should
be disabused of 1t, for the facts are
that control Of this character is en-
tirely out of the question under the
Aldrich plan, and that the methods
and operation OF the plan are directed
specifically against such control. be-
ing remarkably we'll calculated to sue
cessfully eliminate it.-Moody's Maya.

"Destructive Competition"

To the Stanley committee Messrs.
Roberts and Gayley talked about the
necessity Of stopping destructive
competition as If the steel interests
were exposed to some different sort
Of competition from other forms OF
business. This is a mistake. The
competition which Messrs. Gayley and
Roberts talk about as though 1t were
Ia conflagration or an earthquake, or
some other portentous calamity. is
just the plain. ordinary. competition
! that all merchants and much the
greater part of the manufacturers are
exposed to, and to maintain which
was the sole purpose OF the Sherman
law. The steel manufacturers are as
well able to stand 1t as the dealers
In groceries. but, being fewer in num-
Der, 1t is possible for them to agree
on prices. or consolidate their inter-
ests, and suppress the competition
which the merchants and most Of the
manufacturers must face through the
whole of their business careers.

To Clean \ Machine.

The proper way to clean sew
ing machine is with plenty of coal oil
of kerosene, which are one and the
same thing. Fill your oil can with it
and oil carefully every working part
that you can reach; then sew rapidly
on some useless piece Of goods to dis
tribute the OIL
Then take a channels skin or q
sponge, or soft piece Of cloth that
will not leave lint. and wipe up all
the surplus oil. 1t works like magic.
OF course, this strenuous treatment
is only flor once in awhile; in gen.
eral, oil only with. the finest sewing
machine oil,s or you will injure your
machine. But once in several months
this method is excellent.

"Excent Rails"

q The prices of steel bars. steel bill.
let's. beams-every form of steel. ex-
cept rails-are lower than at any
other time during the past five years.
Steel rails alone continue to sell at
the same price that was fixed by the
trust ten years ago. Why the excep-
ton? Whoever thinks out the reason
for himself will have put his finger
on the crux of the whole railroad stu
alton. Other forms of steel are
bought by men who have no other
interest to serve than their own, and
no purpose other than to take advan-
tage of dull times and get their goods
at the lowest possible prices; steel
rails are bought by the men who run
the railroads. who are the same men
that run the steel corporation, and
they are more interested in the pros
perity of the steel company than Of
the railroads.-Collier's Weekly.

that the alleged combination in re-
