Wants to Get to the Root.

To the Editor of The Times: The
Louisville Courier-Journal makes an
excellent criticism of the decision OF
the supreme court. in the Standard
OIL case. 1t makes II appear just as
ridiculous as II is. But when they
say that IL Is up to the people TO
make a new law. they show their
weakness. What Is the use OF new
law, or any other law, when there
Is a supreme court that can warp and
twist II, to suit the occasion?
The Sherman law was intended,
ostensibly, to restrict the trusts, and
for the benefit of the public; but 1t
has been reversed, in every particu-
lar, by the supreme court. When the
hatters had a strike, there was moth
ing said about reasonable" OF ''un-
reasonable" restriction of trade. II
was decided that they simply restrict
ed trade, and they were made to pay
a penalty, individually, for doing 1t.
In the case of the Standard Oil Co.,
there Is found TO be an ''unreason-
able" restriction OF trade, but there
is no penalty imposed for so doing.
They are simply told to stop 1t, and
given six months in which to stop.
And II remains to be seen how much
they will stop skinning the people.
Why not go to the root OF the evil,
and abolish the supreme court? They
are appointed for life, by president
who is elected for only four years. II
Is a relic OF monarchy.

A VERSATILE GOVERNOR.

This is how Governor Harmon made
more votes In a single day than he

had just finished a long impromptu
speech to his friends, the farmers
and when he finished they gave him
a hearty vote OF thanks.

CENTENNIAL.

The recent sharp decline in Centen-
NAL reflects in a considerable measure
the unsatisfactory results attending
the development on the Kearsarge vein,
upon which the company's activities
are centered.
Centennial IS, without exception, the
most favoraby located property in the
Michigan district. due to which it's
shares have not infrequently been the
speculative leader Of an active copper
market.
The property is traversed by the

The Centennial has been continuous

was given again the Calumet conglom-
crate and Osceola amygdaloid in the
order named. II was only when both
these efforts failed and the Mohawk,
Wolverine and North Kearsarge were
furnishing positive evidence Of the cx-
Cellent future of the Kcarsarge vein
that the Centennial decided upon the
thorough investigation Of the latter.
It's development has been marked BY
varying promise in the territory below
the 2.00O-foot level. above which the
veins az a whole at No shaft proved
practically barren. The ground north,

RAY CONSOLIDATED.

Ray Consolidated is making excellent
progress In the two respects 10 which
the management is devotlng energy
viz, the perfection OF the milling op-
erations. and the preparation OF the
milne for the shipment OF a larger ton
mage.
With confidence from the experience
gained in the operation of other prop
critics Of this character, Ray Consoli-
dated built a plant Of 5000 tons ca
pacity. and from the very first has
been handling a tonnage exceeding
that treated by many good sized mines
after years OF operations
The starting on such large scale
involved the working out of innumera-
bic details, but from the very first op-
erations have been satisfactory and
have continued increasingly so. The
tonnage treated for July averaged
$3.50 tons daily; for the first half of
August the mill averaged $3.50 tons.
and for the past ten days 1850 tons.
This has been accomplished with
three sections I'm commission: the
fourth section has, by this time. doubt
less been placed in operation. and with
the experience gained in the others
should operate almost perfectly from
the start The percentage OF eXtrac-
tion has risen steadily, and in spite Of
the fact that a considerable portion Of
the tonnage has come so far. from the
stock-pile, whose grade Is below that
of q h. ef,,s,
tion OF very nearly 40 per cent is being
made. These results are even more
satisfactory than those attending the
early operations Of the other plants
