LET THINGS REST AWHILE

Disappointed because the unl'eu
States Supreme court handed down
a conservative opinion IN the Stsh,
dard Oil case. where they had hoped
for a radical one. the extreme poh-
tic;ans of both parties, who CHROME
ously believe that public relief from
supposed oppression can only be OBJ
tanned by means of constant leglsla-
ton. are agitating the question
of amending the Sherman law so as
to make its provisions cover all COM
binations. whether in reasonable or
unreasonable restraint of trade. The
entire business part Of the eoun'
try is satisfied to let thlng :
rest for awhile and the people gen
orally will, in our opinion, be mueh
better off if Congress will kindly APP
ply its labors to passing the reclproc-
ity treaty, the free list bill and then
adjourn. thus giving the country
vast business. which has been stag
nant for months, time to adjust IT,
self.
There is no occasion for any
amendment of the Sherman act al
this time. with the consequent uh-
certainty as to the effect Of any
amendment pending It's construction
by the courts.
The Standard Oh Co. has been
shown that there is higher power
in this country than the millions OF
the trust and has been stopped IN lis
career of greed and ordered to DIS
solve. Other trusts in unreasonable
restraint of trade will meet the same
fate if the fate Of the OIL company
should fail to warn them OF the PIT
fall ahead In view Of all these
things why not let we'll enough alone
and give business a show?
The people will much prefer to see
life in the business world, which will
follow this decision if no other leg
islation is attempted, than any fur

depression.
