OF action laid down by the antitrust
law. This statute as construed by the
supreme court must continue to be the
line of distinction for legitimate BUSH
ness. II must be enforced unless we
are to Danish individualism from all
business and reduce 1t TO one common
system of regulation or control Of
prices like that which now prevails
with respect to public utilities and
which when applied to all business
would be a long step toward state so
cialism.
Importance Of the Antitrust Act.
The antitrust act is the expression
of the effort OF freedom loving peo-
pie to preserve equality of opportunity.
It is the result OF the confident deter
minatIon OF such a people to maintain
their future growth by preserving I'M
controlled and unrestricted the enter
prise OF the individual bis industry,
his ingenuity. his intelligence and his
independent courage
For twenty years or more this stat
ute has been upon the statute book.
All knew it's general purpose and APP
proved Many OF its vlolators were
cynical over its assumed impotence.
1t seemed impossible of enforcement.
Slowly the mills OF the courts ground.
and only gradually did the majesty Of
the law assert itself. Many of its
statesmen.authors died before 1t be-
came a living force. and they and 9TH
ers saw the evil grow which they had
hoped to destroy Now its efficacy Is
seen: now its power is heavy; now Its
object Is near achievement Now we
hear the call for its repeal on the plea
that II interferes with business pros
perity, and we are advised in most
general terms how by some other stat
ute and In some other way the evil
we are just stamping out can be cured
/ IL we only abandon this work of twen-
~ years and try another experiment
for another term of years.
It is said that the act has not done
good. Can this be said in the face OF
the effect Of the Northern Securities
decree? That decree was in no way
so drastic or inhibitive In detail as ell
Their the Standard on decree or the
tobacco decree But did 1t not stop
for all time the then powerful move
ment toward the control of all the
railroads of the country in single
hand? Such a one man power could
not have been healthful influence in
the republic, even though exercised
under the general supervision Of an
interstate commission.
DO we desire TO make such ruthless
combinations and monopolies lawful
When all energies are directed, not to-
ward the reduction of the cost Of pro-
duction for the public benefit by
healthful competition, but toward new
ways and means for making perma-
nent In few hands the absolute con-
troll Of the conditions and prices pre-
vailing in the whole field Of industry,
then individual enterprise and effort
win be paralyzed and the spirit of
commercial freedom will be dead.

and land him in the Ridgeway iail
me maniac, supposed to be a fugi-
tive from some asylum, rushed into

dinner, and said he had received in.
structions from the Almighty to kill
her and her three young children. The
mailman seized the woman by the
throat and, forcing her against the
wall. told her to get down on her
knees and pray, adding that he in
tended to strange her.
Mrs. Windhorst, who far years has
been a student of hypnotism, looked
the maniac in the eyes and diverted
his attention. Then she told him to
sit down in chair near at hand. The
mailman obeyed and Mrs. Windhorst
stepped outside and called across a
field to neighbor, who called several
men, who in turn bound the maniac
and took him to Ridgeway.
