NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

UNEASY TRUsTs.
One Thousand Combines Affected by
Recent Decisions.


Recent Decisions.
New York Financial World.
There are about one thousand Industrial
combinations in the United States whose
form Of organization and business methods
come more or less directly under the de-
cisions In the trust cases handed down by
the United States supreme court Under
these decisions combinations in restraint
OF competition are not forbidden, but only
combinations in restraint OF trade
Combinations for the purpose of oppress-
ing competitors and monopolzing trade are
illegal. and their. heads are liable. under
the criminal provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t is doubtful however,
whether the government will Just now be-
gin crusade against many Of these trusts
Rather is IL reasonable to suppose that the
government will frat permit the convicted
trusts to arrange their affairs and split
themselves up under the supervision and
direction Of the lower courts, so that other
trusts may then see how the thing is done
and how they may also escape prosecu-
tons. lull, therefore, in the government
activity against the trusts would now seem
no more than natural.

An overzealous Spokesman.

Chancellor Day of Syracuse uni
versity has broken his long silence
with an old-time curtain lecture Of the
people who are working for larger
popular rights and more equitable re-
lations between the public and big
business. He scolds the people for
"meddling" in the affairs of the cor
porations, for imposing on the state
and national statute books laws regu-
lating the conduct of these corpora
tione, declaring:
The country has never seen a time when
It's commerce Of all kinds was so involved
and embarrassed by unwise laws created
by men utterly disqualified by business in
capacity and inexperience as today.
We are doubtless making mistakes
In our attempt to bring about better
system of corporation control, but, on
the other hand, We are achieving some
headway, and will more. Nor can
our hands be completely tied by such
reactionary forces as voiced by DR..
Day. Even the heads of these great
corporations have come out boldly ad-
hitting the Justice and the wisdom of
reasonable governmental control and
regulation. A few of them, notably
Judge Gary of the Steel trust, Presi-
dent Delano Of the Wabash railroad,
Mr.. Carnegie and President Vail of
the Bell telephone interests. have even
declared that we must have this regu-
lation, backed up by fair and full pub
licity of the affairs of corporation
management.
Chancellor Day will not charge
these men with business incapacity,
or that they are seeking to injure the
big interests. Neither is this govern
ment seeking to embarrass legitimate
industry. And It is a great pity for
men holding positions like that Of
Chancellor Days to say so. It always
initiates to the disadvantage Of both
the government and the corporations
for zealots to overstep their bounds
with such exaggerations.

Conflicting views on Reciprocity.

President Taft declares that the real
opposition to Canadian reciprocity
comes directly from the big trusts
Senator McCumber declares that is ex-
actly where the support of the plan
comes from. Senator La Toilette. says
he believes in reciprocity and believes
In reciprocity with Canada, but de-
nounces the present measure as a
diplomatic bargain masQuerading in
the ,guise of reciprocity" Both Senator
La Toilette and Senator McCumber as
sert that under this bill the farmer
would be the loser. Then, as II these
conflicting views and statements were
not confusing enough to the lay
man cropping in the dark for the
truth, the additional charge is made
that Senator Roots amendment on
paper and wood pulp is submitted at
the instance of the paper trust, and
the senator, himself, is disposed of as
an agent of the money power.
On the democratic side, we have
Senator Gore OF Oklahoma submitting
amendments after 1t had been plainly
stated that any amendment to the bill
will be tantamount to it's defeat; Sen
ator Bacon splitting hairs, as usual, in
an effort to kill the bill on techni-
calities, and Senators Williams, Stone
and Kern standing shoulder to shout
der with the president in support of
the measure.
Anybody who can find his way out
Of this labyrinth of discord and mix
ture of ideas is entitled to the release.
In the meantime it would not be sur
prising, in the event OF the bills pas
sage and the adoption OF the plan, to
find it welding far less potent in
fluence either way than has been pre-
dicted for it, It will not be surprising
If It cuts far smaller figure econom-
ically than it does politically, except
in the way of promoting the friend
ship of the two countries. &.

Another areat Consnirnnv.

Our old friend, Edgar Howard, in
his Columbus Telegram, this time
with the active aid Of zig" Dunn, has
uncovered another great conspiracy,
OF perhaps we should say a con-
tinuation OF the old conspiracy, to
put Mr.. Bryan out Of commission in
the next presidential campaign. This
Is to be accomplished By packing the
Nebraska delegation to the democratic
national convention with at least If
teen out Of the sixteen delegates ia
vorable to Governor Harmon ''or some
other corporation candidate" and for
the further purpose "of adopting a
platform which will be a reputation of
every principle for which Mr.. Bryan
has commended" The opponents of
Mr.. Bryan are to play SNEAK game"
They already have "a slate" contain
ing a set Of delegates to be elected
next spring to the democratic national
convention. and every name is the
name of a man ready to support a
democratic candidate acceptable to the
criminal trusts These enemies of
Mr.. Bryan are naturally emboldened
by their easy success in turning Mr..
Bryan down last year in the Grand
Island convention, and look 10 the
same leadership, with the added pres
tige Of his election as United States
senator, to repeat the performance at
the next turn.
To spectators on the other side Of
the political fence. who have also seen
signs of the democratic storm brewing
in this state, this, of course, is all
very interesting. In fact, the editor
of The Bee months ago made
friendly wager that Mr.. Bryan would,
himself, head the delegation from Me-
b-aska to the next democratic national
convention II he so desired, and at all
events would control a majority of
the votes of the Nebraska delegates.
Edgar Howard, however, is correct in
signaling the danger that threatens
Mr.. Bryan and his friends unless they
bestir themselves. A three-time presi-
dental nominee without his own state
to back him In the national convention
would, indeed, be sorry figure.
Let the merry war go on.

High on the wooded crest OF spuyten
Duyvill. 800 feet above the waters OF the
river first navigated by him, stands a
great fluted column. 100 feet high on the
top OF which is soon to be placed a statue
Of Henry Hudson. from whom New York's
great river takes its name Kari Bitter, the
sculptor. has completed a model OF the
statue. Hudson is represented In morton
and leather jerkln, worn for protection
against Indians, full baggy knee breeches
Of his period, and high boots. such as he
might have used for protection In landing
and tramping In swamps or among BRAN
bles The mariner wears a sword with
ornately wrought hilt that a captain Of
that age might have fancied. The figure
bears a short Spanish cloak, for at that
time Spain was dominating the fashions Of
the world, as has France In later periods.
On account OF its altitude, for including
the hill the figure will stand sl5 feet above
the level OF the river the outlines have
been made clear and strong. The bearded
face of the mariner is entirely ideal, as
there Is, so far as known. no contemporary
portrait OF Hudson. The expression of the
face is strong and conveys an air of
anxiety and thoughtfulness.
Ground was broken for the monument on
July 5, 1909. and in September OF that year
the cornerstone was laid by Governor
Hughes. The column, which was designed
by Walter Cook, is now complete and is
ready to receive Mr.. Bitter's statue, as
well as the decorative tablets at its base
sculptured by Henry NJ. Shrady. The fig
ure Of Hudson is Of heroic size, being fif-
teen feet in height. The total cost of the
monument, including statue and tablet,
will be $1,000. OF which amount $4,000 has
been raised.

Elsie Rangold, q maid employed by Frank
V. Molloy, a contractor, who lives In New
Rochelle, was discharged for being impu-
dent. Thereupon she attacked Mrs. Mol
10y, and then went to her room in the
attic, where she began to tear things UP.
When Policeman Busserd arrived the
maid had ripped up the carpet, broken the
mirror and torn the bedclothes in her
room. She fought him until he called two
linemen working nearby. Then she threw
herself on the floor with her clothes
wrapped about her head and kicked. The
policeman and linemen tied her ankles
with heavy electric light wire. but, as they
we're unable to get her down the winding
attic stairs without the risk OF injury, they
tied rope about her waist and let her
down from the attic window.
She was taken to the station house in
the iinemen's wagon with the policeman
sitting on her. Judge Swinburn gave her
the choice OF paying a SO fine or going to
the county jail for ten days.
