SUPREME COURT DID IT.
just What Taft Said 1t Could Not and
Should Not Do.

Washington, May 16.-While Presi-
dent Taft made no statement today
regarding the supreme court decision
in the Standard Oil case in which the
court set up the doctrine, that there
might be reasonable and "unreas-
enable" restraints of trade, official
Washington recalled an extract from
the special message sent to congress
by the president January Z, 1910, urg-
ing the enactment of a federal incor-
poration law.
In that message President Taft dis
cussed the suggestion that the word
''reasona BILE" be made a part of the
Sherman antitrust law and strongly
opposed the proposition in these
words: Il venture to think that this
is to put into the hands of the court
power impossible to exercise on any
consistent principle which will insure
the uniformity of decision essential to
just judgment. 1t is to thrust upon
the courts a burden that they have no
presidents to enable them to carry.
and to give them a power approach
ing the arbitrary, the abuse of which
might involve our whole judicial sys-
tenn in disaster
Other statements by the president in
his message were:
THE supreme court in several of it's
decisions has declined to read into the
statute the word unreasonable before
restraint of trade on the ground that
restraints
and does not intend to leave to the
court the discretion to determine what
is reasonable restraint of trade. =
Many people conducting great bust
ncsses have cherished a hope and a
belief that in some way or other a
line may be drawn between good
trusts and bad trusts and that 1t is
possible by amendment to the anti
trust law to make a distinction under
which good combinations may be per-
mitted to organize, suppress competi-
ton, control prices. and do it all legal
ly if only they do not abuse the power
by taking too great profit out of the
business. They point with force to
certain notorious trusts as. having
grown into power through criminal
methods by the use of illegal rebates
and plain cheating and by various acts
utterly violative of business honesty
or morality, and urge the establish
ment of some legal line of separation
by which criminal trusts of this kind
can be punished, and they on the other
hand be permitted under the law to
carry On their business.
Now the public and especially the
busir ess public ought to rid themselves
of the idea that such distinction is
practical or can be introduced into
the etatute. Certainly under the pres
ent antitrust statute no such distinc-
ton exists. It has been proposed that
the word 'reas enable should be made a
part of the statute, and then that it
should be left to the court to say
what is reasonable restraint of trade.
what is a REASONABLE e suppression of
opoly.'' Here the president declared,
as already quoted that he disapproved
this idea as thrustirg too great bar
den on the courts. 1ran 3

BEAUTY SPECIALISTS
PRAISE THIS SHAMPOO

THE best hair specialists no longer
recommend soap for shampooing." writes
Mae Martyr in the Boston Examiner.
THE alkah in soaps has been found to
have a ruinous effect on the hair by des-
troying the lustre and color, causing dull
lifeless, streaky hair with bleached, split
ends.
pooS, experts on hair culture almost in
variably recommend a very simple. mex
pensiye shampoo that is prepared by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox in a
cup of hot water. The abundant lather
of this shampoo cleanses perfectly, re-
moves all dust and dandruff, rinses easily
and makes the hair dry very quickly
"Canthrox destroys dandruff, stops itch
ing of the scalp and leaves the hair lus-
trous, soft and very fluffy

expert. For one thing. it showed
wonderful skill in judging distances.
The tongue was never darted out until

The accuracy Of the creatures aim
was another matter for surprise. The
insects were generally In motion when
the tongue was darted out against
them. but the arrow never failed to
hit. The rapidity with which the
tongue was shot forth excited much
wonder. The operation is compile
one. The tongue is doubled or folde..
up when in the mouth. Therefore a
twofOld action is required. an uncoi-

the tongue with the captured insect on
