COURT IN HARD CASE
SUPREME TRIBUNAL CONFRONT
ED WITH PROBLEM.
Enforcement Of Law Against the
Trusts ls Matter for Sedate judo
ment-Common Sense View
of the Matter.

When two are in a fight there is q
type of citizen who stands at the edge
OF the crowd and shouts, Let me get
at him" One sees a likeness to this
safely belligerent person in most of
the critics who do not like the way
the Supreme court has tackled the
trust problem. One wonders what
these critics would do If the crowd
parted and really did let them get at
him."
To drop the rowdy metaphor It is
probable that the Supreme court itself
is not satisfied with its decision. The
court was very frankly not clear what
should be done. But If the courts po-
sition is admittedly indefinite, how
completely nebulous is the alternative
offered by the critics.
To say that the law should be en-
forced against trust lawtreakers as It
Is against individual lawbreakers is to
make noise like sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals. Everybody accepts
the law enforcement theory. There is
mere sound and tinkle again in declar-
ing that the trusts should be de-
stroyed, no one from the chief justice
down knowing precisely what a trust
is. And so there is the "Reminiscences
of the cracking of thorns under a pot

will that fact help the solution of

Some constructive criticism of the
court also may have evlnced this rea.
liZation; but 1t is not to be found in
the bulk of the criticism which re-
solves itself simply into the demand.
Bust the Trusts"
From the standpoint Of the optimist:
May IT not be considered hopeful
when judges Of n high court take cog
nizance of facts and conditions whose
existence all other intelligent persons
recognize? Has It not been urged
with force against the body OF our
Jurisprudence that It holds too close
to precedent-that It is not sufficient
ly flexible in applying principles to
changed conditions? Certainly that
criticism cannot be leveled at the
| late Sherman act decisions. Those
judgments have put tho law-not
alone the specific statute-into the
current of affairs-not across the cur
rent

have n smoother. better course with
rnc law going along in control than If

TAX PLACES BEYOND REACH
Object Lesson for the People Is the
High Tariff on Wooden
Products.

The use of wooden blankets in the
United States has steadily diminished
until the average for each family now
is just half what it was In 1860, says
the Wall Street Journal, and this is
attributed to the excessive cost result
ing from the high tariff on wool. In
80 years the population has increased
200 per cent. while the combined manu-
facture and importation of blankets
has increased only so per cent. Thir-
ty-one million people purchased H.
$4,000 square yards OF blankets in
1860. and $4,000 people bought 49,
$4,000 square yards in 1910.
Anybody who will take the trouble
to trace the progress of the wooden in
dustry will discover that from the
very outset of the republic 1t has
never stood upon its own legs without
tariff props" says the Wall Street
Journal. so early as 1916 1t got a
bonus of 20 per cent, then 80 per

Colby. Kan.-"Jim" Fike is trying to
get rich betting against the weather.
Last August he staked $4,000 on the
chance that II would rain within
three months. II IT had rained. as he
bet it would, he would have made a
quarter of million and got his $780,

weather is freakish thing out on this
high plateau. and Fike will be mighty
thankful IL the $4,000 is returned to
him so he can have it to take another
flyer against the weather this year.
Fike calls his method of fortune hunt.
