T.bacco Trust Guilty.
Greensboro News,

| AsW"Svv AASSv
Greensboro News,
The Supreme Court has said it
and the tobacco trust is gull
ty. Following that decision the
trust must dissolve, unless itcan
establish it's "'unreBsDnable bleness.'
This is a new principle t III a
makes the real meaning of the
de.'ision a matter Of more or lees
uncertainty. The attorney gener.
al characterizes the decision as a
most comprehensive aud sweep
ing victory for the government W
We trust it may I've 40. The order
is-in q nutshell that the com
bire must dissolve. An opportu-
nifty is given the trust to disinte:
CRATE and recreate a condition
OF transacting business not re.
pugnant to law. If, at the end OF
six or eight months, the corpora
tions included in the decision fail
to bring themselves into the law
a receivership and dissolution by
court decree will follow.
Just what the form OF dissolu.
tion Of disintergration will be is
q matter OF conjecture at t h g
time. The decision is on "all
fours," as the lawyers say, with
the Standard Oil decision, and
time is allowed for winding up
it's affairs and getting it's bn si-
ness adjusted "within the law"
1t seems to be almost certain
that an era OF readjustment is at
hand, and there will be more COM
petion in the markets for leaf to-
bacro. The corporation known as
the American Tobacco Company
will likely diss olive, under the new
decision; and as a matter OF con-
lecture We assume that the Bull
factory and the Duke g Mixture
plants at Durham will be opera
ted az an independent concern,
the same course to be pursued at
Winston by the R. j. Reynolds
plant. At any rate the atmos-
phere is becoming clearer, the
popular demand for putting
down the trusts has been heard,
and the decision will have the et.
feet of restoring partial rest and
quiet where there has been dis
order and confusion. At the same
time, if Attorney.Gpneral Wick
ersbam is right in claiming that
a sweeping victory has been won,
q most picturesque and spectac-
ular campaign issue has b Q Q n
sidetracked. We hope that is
true.

library of 66 different books
written in it's present form by AZ
or so different writer's, but con-
tribnted to by many more. Its
earliest b0ok-the Book of the

ten ten or twelve centuries be
fore Christ; the Gospel OF john
one OF the latest, vas written al

1000 or 1, 200 years was this Ii
brary in process OF formation. 1t

literature OF an ancient people
which has survived the wreck of
time. In it are found history, BIZ

ecclesiastical; fiction, poetry, dra-
ma political ethics. practical the.
Art, music and science are con-

23RD CHILD BORN.
Stork Pays Another Visit to the
Home of Morris Connor, Well
Known Theatrical Transfer
Man.

Altoona, Pa.-Morris Conners, the
well known theatrical transfer man,
is very chesty to-day, he having be-
come dad for the twenty-third time
last week, when a bouncing young
son arrived at his home in the Tenth
ward.
Morris has achieved a reputation
for many things during his hustling
career, among others the numbers of
his progeny. He has been twice
married, eighteen children having
been the product of the first union,
but four of this brood surviving.
The latest arrival is number five
to the second marriage and the
twenty-third that owes its paternity
to Morris, and he has nominally re-
tired from business at that.
The genial theatrical man is 61
years old. He is as young as he was
when he worked for the only P. T.
Barnum and Adam Forpaugh,
whom he knew personally and his
friends expect to see him stepping
around when he reaches the century
mark.

Where swinging doors that never

Pour forth wide streams of light;
Where tumult crucifies repose
Throughout the sodden night,
There is the restful home of those
Who write.
There, watching, you may see anon
Some journalistic star,
Some meteoric paragon
Approaching from afar,
And note its luster dimmed upon
The bar.

Lurch idly to and fro;
Where merry beggars lie in wait
With drunken tales of woe.

RAILROADS BUILT 4122
MILES IN 1910.
141 ,2O4 Freight Cars, 1881 Passen-
ger Cars and 37S7 Engines
Ordered.

Railroad construction in the Unit
ed States during the year 1910
amounted to 4,122 miles of line, ac-
cording to a compilation made by the
Railway Age Gazette. This COM
pares with BIAS miles in 1903, g.
PA miles in 1908 and 5,212 miles
in 1907. In Canada 1,S44 miles of
railroad were built and 3,071 miles
of new line are now in course of con-
struction.
There were ordered 141,204
freight cars, 36,347 are all wood,
and 3,7S7 locomotives OF the
rfeight cars, 36,347 are all wood,
39,172 have steel underframes and
,523 are all steel. OF the passen-
ger cars, 1903 are all wood 1873
have steel underframes and 1855
are all steel.
These equipment orders are less
than those placed in 1909, but
nearly three times as large as those
placed in 1908. The number Of
cars and locomotives built in 1910
is greater than the number built in
1909. The total number of freight
cars built in 1910 in the United
States and Canada was 1S0, ,945; pas
senger cars, 4,412; locomotives, A.
755. These figures compare with
freight cars, 3O,570; passenger cars,
2,S49, and locomotives, 2,SS7, built
in 1909.
The output of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works was 1875 locomo-
tives, against 1923 in 1909 and 617
in 1908. The high record produc-
tion in any year was 2,666 locomo-
tives, in 1906, but as the average
weight and power of locomotives
have greatly increased, the number
of locomotives turned out year by
year does not afford true compari-
son of production.

SENATE MARGIN NARROW.
Prediction Made That New States
Will Send Democratic Senators.

The republican majority in the Senate
may be considerably diminished by the
time the next regular session of Con-
gress is Under way. With the admission
Of New Mexico and Arizona into the
Union. four new senator's will be elected.
and it Is generally conceded that those
from Arizona will be democrats. with a
possibility that New Mexico may follow
suit and send democrats.
There arc at present two vacancies in
the Senate, due to the death of Senator
Frye of Maine and Senator Hughes of
Colorado. and the legislatures of both
these states are democratic and will send
democrats TO the Senate to flll the vacan-
cies. Therefore the present republican
majority of ten In the Senate may be
cut TO 1, and the regular organization
of the republican party In that body may
be embarrassed even more than during
the present session. ii the insurgent re-
publicans and democrats join forces.
Delegate Andrews of New Mexico is
| firm In his conviction that New Mexico
will send two republican senators. But
even IL this Is the case. the republican
majority will still be sadly shrunken at
the next session.
