WARKER LANDS STEER
WITH HIS ROD AND REEL

Schulz wanted t. take the bull by
the horns, but both Foster and the
guide put up strenuous objections, for
fear that the animal would want to
join the party in the boat. Schulz had
his rod ready and his nerve with him.
He watched his chance and cast about
a dozen feet at the steers head. TIL
line wrapped around one horn and tho
hook took hold in the knob between
the horns.
The steer shook its head in vain ~
Schulz put on the strain. He was US
ing a 12-thread-linen and a 7h-ounce
greenheart rod. with a plain multiply
ing reel and thumb pad. He fought
the steer for three-quarters of an hour.
while his negro guide deity manipu-
lated the boat and Foster sat in the
piyoted chair making caustic remarks.
Finally Mr.. Schulz got the steer
headed toward the beach, where two
men belonging to the cattle outfit roped
the scared and weary creature and got
it into the corral. whence it was driven
aboard the Mildred, having delayed the
sailing for more than an hour.
Mr.. Schulz accepted the c%ongratu-
tions of friends in a modest way, but
there was the usual knot of jealous
old anglers who pooh-poohed the feat
and said that anybody could catch and
land a steer, given the lucky oppor-
tunity.

support, both before and after the pas

HARLAN CLAIMS
COURTS OPINION
CHANGES LAWS
Gives Reason for Dissenting
from Majority in Standard
Oil Decision.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE dis
senting opinion of Justice Harlan in
the Standard Oil case is a strong argu-
men against the view taken by the
majority of the court, n is in part as
follows:
Il feel it my duty to file my dissent
TO the views expressed in the opinion
of the majority of the court.
Congress declared every contract in
restraint of trade between the States
illegal. The first section of the act of
1890 reads every contract it does not
declare that certain contracts, but that
every contract, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, is hereby declared
to be illegal Nothing could be palmer.
Every contract in restraint of trade.
The lawyers in congress when that pro-
hibition was framed understood the
meaning of the language they en-
ployed
1T is true that there has been
raised for years the contention that
the act of Congress did not restrain
reasonable contracts in restraint OF
trade, but only unreasonable contracts.
Counsel in this court have in effect
been required to take their seats for
arguing in support of this contention.
Since the law was enacted attempts
have been made practically at every
session of Congress since then to have
the law amended so as to give a legis-
lative Interpretation in support of this
contention.
Includes Every Contract.
But the fact remains that up until
this day Congress has been satisfied
with the law as written in this respect,
and today the law stands that every
contract in restraint of trade Is illegal.
IF the law as written is to be
amended, Congress is the only consti-
tutional coordinate branch of the gov
eminent with power to amend it. 1t
does not rest with this court by a
process of judicial legislation, wholly
unjustifable, to read into the law
words not written there by the legis-
lative branch OF the government. 1t
has never been amended. There is no
man in this country today who doesn't
know it would not be amended.
THE most alarming tendency of this
day, in my judgment, so far as our in
situations are concerned. is the tend
ency of judicial delay. When men of
vast interests are concerned. and they
cannot get lawmakers to enact amend
ments to construe the law as they de-
sire, they spare M efforts to get some
cases before the courts in an effort to
nave the courts construe the constltu-
ton and the statute to mean what they
want them to mean. The courts are
full of cases which attempt to have
