spanish War veterans Right.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The action of the Spanish War
Veterans in Directing to being placed
in the fourth division, behind civilians,
in the Memorial Day parade was a
step rightly taken, as their place in
the line of march surely comes right
behind that of the veterans of the
Civil War.
There are more reasons than one for
this. One is that these men actually
saw service, as did the veterans of the
Civil War. and another Is that they
are the survivors, with the exception
of the few remaining veterans of the
Mexican War. of the only war the
United States has had with a foreign
power since 1912.
If a survivor of the Mexican war
were able to take part in today's
parade, would he be ~relegated to a
place with civilians? / think not.

RULE OF REASON
IN ANTI-TObACCO
TRUST DECISION
Editorial Comment on the judy
ment of the Supreme
Court.

The following are some of the lead
ing editorial opinions regarding the
tobacco trust
From the New York World:
The decision of the Supreme Court
Aof the United States against the to-
bacco trust must be almost as hu-
initiating to those who nav been cry
ing out against the rule of reason
as 1t is disastrous to the interests d.
rectiy concerned. Once more the COM
mon law embodied in a national statute
performs its perfect and, of course, its
reasonable work.
The dissolution of the tobacco trust,
therefore,, proves hat courts are as
well armed against the craft that has
developed of late under the guidance
of the lawyers of big business as they
are against the open brutality which
shocked and shamed h people in the
earlier days of monopoly. If the to-
bacco trust, prohting by h expert
ence of STANDARD Oil. cannot live, then
all combinations In restraint of trade
and tending toward monopoly have re-
ceived their death-warrant.
From the New York SUM:
In the tobacco cases, as in the Stand
ard Oil case, the Supreme Court has
taken that view of the Sherman act oi
1890 which is the only view conform
able with the theory that the status
is constitutional. The court again
holds. in substance, that when the
legislative department denounced as
illegal every contract or combina
ton in restraint Of trade 1t did not in
tend anything unreasonable; 1t did
not attempt to destroy inalienable in

MAKING CAPITAL OUT OF FILTH.

IT 7 is understood that the ingenious attorneys for Paterson in the
suit by riparian owners o the Passaic river for damages for
pollution of the stream by Patersons sewage filth have evolved
q new argument for Paterson, which is to be supported by expert
Paterson real estate testimony. 1t is nothing less than the claim
that these riparian owners are really under heavy obligations to
Paterson for making and keeping the Passaic river foul with
sewage. This condition, it is declared, has doomed real estate
along the river amazingly and has attracted manufacturers who
have established large plants because of the convenience of
dsposing of their factory waste and filth by just turning It INTO
the river. Everybody knows that manufacturing industry is a
benefit TO a community. 1t makes ratables and gives employment
to labor. Natural advantages are sought by manufacturers, such
as cheap transportation and inexpensive sewage disposal. so, being
d manufacturing city, Paterson makes the Passaic an open sewer,
principally to accommodate the manufacturers and to encourage
their coming. and the city is gratifed to find that its policy has
the benehcent effect to boom real estate on the river banks below.
but it is somewhat uncertain how this line of argument in the ease
will impress the chancery court.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
Is it possible that in this enlightened
age there are still some people who i'm
agine that the ancient "blue laws
should be stfoisted upon the state?
Apparently there are, for I note that
the general assembly of Presbyterians
in session at Atlantic City decided to
resolve that there should be no reading
of newspapers on a Sunday, no travel
ing, no Sunday recreation and nothing
but the prim, p~uritanical observation Of
the day which might have been fit for
the grim fanatics of bygone days, who
snapped whiskey for land and burned
witches.
But it won't go now! And the earlier
that lesson is learned by those who are
still delving in a dead past the better it
will be for them.
| would recommend to them the care
full study of these lines from Omar
Khayyam, Persian poet and philoso-
pher:

writ
Moves on-nor all your piety or wit
Can lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word

Tobacco Trust Can stand 1t.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
That tobacco trust decision in the
United states Supreme Court, like the
product itself, will go up in smoke. As
far as ] understand 1t there will be
nothing to prevent the concerns from
getting into business under another
form, but with the results exactly the
same as heretofore. The Standard Oil
Company has not yet been affected by
tho decision against it. 1t meant simply
the expenditure of a few extra dollars by
the followers of ST. John d. Rockefeller
and then a reorganization now un-
doubleday under way. The election OF
a board of directors to represent the
subsidiary concerns is all that is neees-
sary.
] notice that that very fair business
barometer, known as the stock market,
has not been affected a whit by the
tobacco decision. Why should IL?

ATTEMPTED CORRUPTION OF A PRosEcU.

cToHE incident of the conviction and sentence in the United States
Court in New York yesterday of the president treasurer, legal
adviser and Two associates of the president of the United
Wireless Telegraph Company on charges of conspiracy and misuse
of the mails, the criminals going to prison for various terms, was
marked by charges by the prosecuting attorney that an attempt
had been made in the interest of the prisoners to bride him and
also to bride a juror to hang up the jury. The prosecutor promises
to name the wouldbe briber and t is inferred from his remark IN
court that the criminal is Il lawyer. The crime of attempted bribery
in this case was infinitely worse than that for which the swindling
quintet was tried. and it is of vital importance that he should be
exposed and punished. The crime against justice and public
morality is not uncommon in the administration of criminal justice
and there is Il pestient class of lawyers who do not scruple to
resort to it to suborn witnesses, hang up juries and, if possible,
@y off prosecution.

HARLAN AGAIN DiSSENTS.

IT USTICE HARLAN, who strongly dissented from that part of
the Standard Oil decision which diherentiates between reason
able and Unreasonable restraint of trade by a trust, no less
enerpeticalIy dissents from the Tobacco trust decision as a usurpa
ton of the judiciary in certain respects. He objects to a construc
ton of the law sin the light of reason We may expect from the
venerable Justice an opinion fully written out, as i'll the case of the
previous decision. The Judgment of the United States Supreme
Court in the two highly important trust cases, however, establishes
the law regarding trusts and combinations in trade. All future
prosecutions will be governed by the principles just laid down,
probably changed in one essential respect by an act of Congress
doing away with all distinctions as TO reasonableness in the
restraint of trade.

at least near the orner of Broad and

taken a block beyond you destination
on every occasion is unjust and
should be stopped. 1t nay be h
the conductors Inc motormen are not
to blame. but then the inspectors
should not put the travelling public to

that this small favor should be granted

Says Cop flushed Ut Auto Near-Tragedy

Says Cop flushed Up Auto Near-Tragedy
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Could you kindly inform me what
are the regulations for police protec-
tion at Mulberry and Market streets,
about 1926 o'clock in the afternoon?
At that time today / was passing Mar
ket street at that point and witnessed
an automobile accident.
A boy was run down by an automo-
bile, which was on the wrong side Of
the street. That is. the auto was go
ing east on Market street when he met
a blockade at Mulberry. In an effort
to pass he turned to the north and
wrong side of the street and ran into
the youngster. The latter was
knocked down but owing to his
diminutive frame he remained I'M
touched while the body of the car
passed over him.
The little fellow ran down Market
street and was caught by witnesses
and brought back. They were brush
ing up his clothes and fixing his
bruises when a traffic officer got there.
This officious person considered the
incident unworthy of mention. did not
make any inquiries, and I did not see
him TAKE the names of n witnesses.
The autoist who ran down the child re-
peatedly told the officer not to make
any report of the matter and keep the
thing quiet. The boy was taken home
in the auto which ran him down.
Driving on the wrong side of the
street is in itself a violation of the
traffic ordinance; knocking the child
down is an assault, and it was only
fortune that he was not killed. Yet
the officer listened t. the autoist and
tried hard ito keep the thing quiet"
instead OF making an arrest. Why was
there no patrolman at the corners
when the accident happened? II the
child had been killed his assailant
would have had no trouble escaping.
The officer declared he would take
the boy home as he (tne officer) was on
the way to his dinner. At 1926 o'clock?
All this appeared to be gross negli-
gence. Not only do we need more po-
lice protection at this dangerous point
of traffic, but this particular officer and
others like him need several books of
instructions as to their duties. Also,
that they are not magistrates but po-
lice officers.
1t is because they Know the officers
and hold the laws so cheaply that
these automobllists drive recklessly
through the crowded streets, knocking
down people, manning and sometimes
killing them. While on duty the Of
flcer should forget his friends and
think a little more of the duty which
The citizens are paying him to perform.

The man who is probably enjoying
things better than anyone else today is
former Patrolman John Heller, of the
Second Precinct. Heller, by the way,
is a Civil War veteran. He can afford
to look pleasant, for he doesn't have to
worry about detail duty or any of
the other things which are the thorn
in the side of a good and respectable
patrolman. His service in the War Of
the Rebellion and the thirty years he
put in as a patrolman entitled him, the
police board thought, to take things
easy. so in the future Heller will cease
to look after the library, where he was
detailed, to look out for himself. Hence
the smile that all his friends noticed
today.

With the unwilling of the statue of
Abraham Lincoln at the Court House
Square today Gutzon Borglum has oc-
complished the dream of his life. He
was always DESTROYS of making a per-
feet image Of the great statesman, and
when he was given the opportunity to
compete with other sculptors for the
honor he was easily the winner.
Mr.. Borglum up to date is a recog-
nized authority on all that pertains
to bronze sculpture work. He admits
that his masterpiece adorns this city,
and he feels proud as a peacock to
hin that he was so successful with his
work. Mr., Borglum also takes pride
in the equestrian statue he has erected
at Washington, d. G., Of General
Sheridan. The bust of Lincoln by the
sculptor in the United States Senate
chamber has been said to be a most
characteristic pose of the famous man.
