THE APPROVED REORGANIZATION


The approval of the Tobacco Trust re-
organization by the Circuit Court should
put an end TO Mysteries over the enforce
ment of the Sherman act. The worst
that can happen TO corporation CON
demned by the courts for violation of
that act is reorganization, and one
that will pay scrupulous regard to the
interests of stockholders. Property is
not confscated \ receivership is re-
iected as a method 10 he employed only

of five years. such as Attorney General
Wickersham requested in this instance
is looked upon with disfavOr. Business
is assured that, IA Judge Noyes writes
"the effect of enforcing this statute
against Industrial combinations is not
"tO destroy. but to reconstruct"
Reconstruction is not pushed To eX-
tremes. The combination is not split into
atoms. as the Independent companies
wished il to he. Ownership is not dis
turl ad. Delays. uncertainties and haz-
ards in connection with reorganization
are reduced to a minimum. The fair
practicable, and reasonable course is
everywhere preferred. The court is led
nowhere into undertaking the impOsSi-
bile by the argument that the possible
would not insure beyond a doubt the
restoration of competition. Even the
sale of the United Cigar Stores Com

contended is not ordered by the court
In word the court approves the plan

eral. I'm doing this it seems TO us that
il has done the only practicable thing.
In doing il the court has probably borne
i'm mind that il is not form but conduct
which will determine whether on not
i'm future there is restraint of trade in
the tobacco industry. No form into
which the tobacco combination could he
recast would guarantee obedience 10 the
law. If the court had torn the cOmbina

frost overnight has appeared in the Mar

II is of favorable omen that the new

spirit and their civic purpose 1t is not
enough for the university to be a self

CONTROLLING THE GUN ToTERs

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II seems to me that legislation
against the use Of firearms is very made
auate, il it is intended to reduce the number
of crimes. for il is prohibiting an effect at
tn, same time disregardng the cause. Of
crimes. More arms are used to-day as a
defence and security against crime than
arc used in its commission Their mere
possession and use does not constitute
crime. 1t has been shown that such a law
disarms not the criminals. but only those in
whose hands arms would be put TO n Just
use. Remember that this law applies
throughout the whole state where there is
no police force and where one may go ten
or hfty miles at stretch with no safety
except in his own p-owess.
Further. it is rather incumbent upon
every man to become expert In the use OF
these short arms (and the majority are
trustworthy instead OF condemning such
experience as tit only for the unlawful for
";he security Of free state" depends upon
the armed strength of its best citizens
II seems obvious 10 me that this law vio-
lates personal rights and tho right Of pri-
yate property. since it provides for the de-
struction OF all our unlicensed arms Revo-

EPISCOPAL SESSIONS END
Diocese Makes Radical Change
in Missionary Work.

On the final day OF their annual conven-
ton Episcopalians of the New York diocese
made a radical change in their missionary
work. Heretofore there have been five de-
partments. but in future there will be
three to be known as the New York, west
chester. which will include also the coun-
ties OF Putnam and Duchess. and orange
TO include Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster.
The former department heads were inde-
pendent but the new man. when chosen.
will be on the staff of the Cathedral OF st.
John the Divine. Yesterday the cathedrai
treasurer. Charles +. Hoffman, said the
cathedral had an income OF only ABOUT
81. 600 a year, and could not stand the ad-
ditional expense of three high salaried mis-
sionaries. Bishop Greer, who was presid-
ing. said the cathedral must get busy and
find the money to support the new men.
The change means a new and larger mis-
sionary development all along the line.
Late in the afternoon, just before ad-
iournment. the same financial question
came up concerning social service work.
and especially the taking up Of the tenn
perance work The fight for the work was
led by the Rev. DR.. A. G.. Cummns OF
Poughkeepsie, and he got the money need
ed and was authorized to add to his COM
mission four women.
In the matter of Episcopal Church exten-
sion in the diocese $1,000 was voted, the
largest sum given. The Bronx Church
House. which cost s225 600. was reported to
have endowed funds Of $246,Coo and Bishop
Greer announced his intention eventually
to turn the property over to the official
convention.
1t was reported that the new chapel
building in the Seamens Home, at South
street and Coenties Slip, would cost $1,000,
and would be given by the Episcopal
churches.

UNIONISTS MAY TAKE LONG
Favorite for Successor to Bal
four as Party's Head.
fBy Cable to The Tribune. !

London. Nov. o.--The leadership Of the
Unionist party is the absorbing topic
G, conjecture and discussion in political
circles tonight. Walter Hume Long Is
now the first favorite, with Austen
Chamberlain A good second and Bonar
Law as the dark horse Of the race.
There is no question OF pressing rival
claims. as neither Mr.. Long nor Mr.
Chamberlain will make any effort In ls
own behalf. Each is ready to respond
to the call of duty. This. also, is Mr.
Laws attitude.
Mr. Long is a typical English gentle
man. thoroughly straightforward, but
without any claims to particular brill
iancy. He is regarded as an eminently
safe man and is perhaps a shade more
popular than is Mr.. Chamberlain. He is
representative OF the land owning class.
while the more youthful forces in the
party are bent on cultivating the indus
trial portion of the community.
Here is where Chamberlain comes in
but 1t is doubtful whether the old
fashioned Conservatives will care to fol
low a man so closely identified with the
Liberal Unionst wing of the party. Both
men are ardent tariff reformers, but Mr..
Long is more deeply versed in the Home
Rule controversy.
Mr.. Law has never been Cabinet
Minister. and his entire official expert
ence can be summed up In his four years
of work as Parliamentary secretary OF
the Board OF Trade.
