Trusts and 1919.

Who are on the trusts side? Nobody
with political aspirations. The trusts
have no open friends among the poll
ttcians. although there are politicians
whom the trusts have befriended- Trust

chances. Campaign managers or candi-

tive or other favors may or may not be
made. If trusts could afford to talk. many
tales OF woe would probably be told. But
trusts cannot afford TO talk. They must
take their medicine. however bitter.
Sharper than a serpent's tooth 1T may
be to have thankless official but when
ever one such develops the trusts must
endure him.
Undoubtedly the trust question is
scheduled for fresh agitation. and 1t may
become more pronounced than any that
has gone before. The stage Is set for II.
There are many actors eager for parts in
the drama. And when the curtain goes
up a very large audience Will be in at
tendance.
The issue will be pronounced about the
time Congress meets IN December. The
Standard Oil Company has six months in
which to adjust its affairs to the Supreme
Courts decision. and If the tobacco trust
also loses, an equal length of time may
be allowed it for a similar purpose. Thus
the regular session will open with Con-
gress and the country advised not only as
to what unreasonable trusts must do to
conform TO the law, but the processes pos
sible to that end. We shall all be much
the wiser for the changes which by that
time will have grown out of the Supreme
Courts commands.
Now, IL is a safe assumption that the
trusts are not through. SO to speak. Un-
promising the prospect today IS, they
are not discouraged. They hold that they
are both a legitimate outgrowth and a
necessity of the times. AS they appraise
the situation, the country could not get
along without them.
AS to advisers, they will continue to
enjoy the services of the best Lawyers
Of great ability have been in their employ
for years, and others of equal grade will
probably now be added to the number
Such talent comes high, but the trusts
must have the pick of the market.
Here, then, will be contest worthy of
the participants and of the great stakes
involved. On the one side the trusts and
their lawyers watchful of private in
serests, and on the other side the national
lawmakers watchful of the peoples in
terests. A presidential campaign will be
IN its first stages. Both parties in Con-
gress will be preparing to make ma terial
for the campaign. Trust cures Will be
more varied and numerous than chill
cures, or remedies for rheumatism. Which
party will bid highest for votes against
The trusts. and what will the trusts think
Of the bids after all are in? Spellbinders
who have never hammered the trusts
would do we'll to qualify, while veterans

something to even the most vigorous of

Mr. o'Gorman He gave up Mr.. Cohalan

Mr.. o'Gorman. He gave UP Mr.. Cohalan
with extreme reluctance.
So persistent a politician, however, did
not despair. but cast about for something
very good, II not equally rs good. for
the man he had been forced for the
moment to abandon. The result is proba-
bly, gratifying TO both. Mr.. Murphy
again scores over democratic opponents,
and Mr.. Cohalan gets an office of dignity
and power. But has New York bene-
fitted?
Mr. O'Gorman was we'll placed on the
bench. both as respected his talents and
the impression he had made on the public.
A sound lawyer and a hard worker. he
had won the confidence of all classes by
his decisions. He liked his duties. and
would have preferred remaining where he
was. He accepted the transfer to the
Senate with reluctance. He may make
good In his new office. and his friends
predict he will. but it is fact that when
he left the bench for politics he gave up
a certainty for uncertainty.
Mr.. Cohalan, on the other hand. is first
Of all politician. and a clever one. Ordi-
that he is the brains of an organization
more famous for Doodle than brains But

achieved so much success, brains have
counted; and 1t is Mr.. Cohalans distinc-
ton that he has supplied them Hence

effort. first to place him in the Senate.
and then on the supreme bench.
We see then as the result of the New
York hubbub first rate judge relieved OF
his black silk gown and transferred TO
the political arena, and q very clever
politician removed from his native arena
and nominated for the black silk gown.
BY twist of the wrist Judge becomes
a politician. and politician a judge.
Mr.. Cohalan on personal grounds
might not have been a source of pride to
the state in the Senate. but would have
entered that body well equipped for the
work. He goes instead to the bench,
over the protests of the men who kept
him out of the Senate. and who in ac-
comprising that object thought they had
completely disposed of his aspirations for
office. And Mr.. Murphy. with abundant
cause, just laughs

State against First Catholic church OF
Lincoln. Appeal from Lancaster. Affirmed.
In the year 1869, the legislature passed
an act authorizing the governor to execute
deeds OF conveyance to the trustees or
churches or religious societies to which
certain lots in the city of Lincoln had been
assigned by the capital commissioners.
Acting under such authority the governor
conveyed the lots in dispute in this
as trustees. for the First Catholic
church OF the city of Lincoln, which was
their successors. by mesne conveyances.
transferred the title OF the property to the
same society after its Incorporation as a
church organization The society, previous
to its Incorporation, took possession of the
property as soon as IL was set over to
them, and made valuable improvements
thereon prior to the execution of the deed
by the governor, in 1870. and has been in
peaceabe possession ever since, using the
same for church and parochlal school pur-
poses in strict accordance with the pur-
poses OF the sale by the state to its trus-
tees. Held:
First. that the act OF the legislature in
providing that conveyances be made TO
trustees of churches or religious socie-
ties" did not contemplate nor require that
such religious societies should be incor-
porated before the state could be Invested
of its title.
Second, that the deed to the persons
named as trustees vested the title in them
for the use and beneficial interest of the
society named in the trust and then exist

Third, that the conveyances from the said
trustees and their duly authorized sue
