Boycotts, Injunctions and Trusts.

In the two important decisions recently
rendered by the Supreme Court both sides
In each case find grounds Of satisfaction.
In the contempt case the labor leaders
are relieved from jail sentences as pun
ishment for civil as distinguished from
q criminal contempt Of court, a punish
ment which many who condemn the boy
colt have felt to be too severe. On the
other hand the anti-boycotters claim that
the decision of the nations highest tribu-
nal determines every essential point in
dispute concerning the status Of the
boycott in accordance with their con-
tention: that the boycott is illegal and
that the court can enjoin all acts done
in carrying out such boycott, which ex-
tends to printed, written and oral state
ments; that the courts injunction must
be obeyed. and that violation Is punish
able by fine In indemnity to the party
injured. and by Imprisonment for GRIM
inal contempt Of court.
In the trust case the Standard Oil Com
pany is ordered to dissolve as a monopoly
in unreasonable restraint Of trade. But
the decision of the Supreme Court con-
strues into the Sherman act the word
unreasonable which Congress has re-
fused to place there and which weakens
the force of the act as a terrible warning
to future possible offenders. Heretofore
to limit the application of the Sherman
act to unreasonable" restraints Of trade
the burden was upon the trusts to Sc
cure from Congress amendment Of the
law by the insertion of this word. Now
the Sherman act under the Supreme
Courts decision reads with this word in
serted, and the burden is shifted to the
antitrust men to eliminate it by con-
gressional amendment.
The Supreme Court suggests that its
construction Of the Sherman act remedies
the evil aimed eat by the law anu pre-
vents a successful attack on the ground
of unconstitutionality. upon the Sherman
act, as otherwise construed.
In the contempt case the labor leaders
personally are victorious, but the boy
colt is condemned and it's effective re-
straint by Injunction is affirmed. In the
Standard Oil case the particular trust in
volved is condemned and dissolved, but
trusts not monopolistic or in unreasonable
restraint OF trade-"good' trusts. in short
ARE acquitted in advance and encour-
eyed to live.

our second war with Great Britain, was
advised from the War Department, first
by John Armstrong of New York. then
by James Monroe of Virginia, and then
by w. H. Crawford Of Georgia, not one
of whom could have set a squadron In the
field.
The Secretary of War during our clash
with Mexico was w. L. Marcy, a New
York lawyer. with the presidential bee
buzzing in his bonnet. Secretary STAN
ton, who proved an invaluable aid to Mr..
Lincoln, was lawyer. Andrew johnson
in his row with Stanton called two SOL
diers to the War Office-first Gen. Grant.
and then Gen. Scofield. but neither served
long. President Grant appointed Gen.
Rawlins, then Gen. Sherman, and then
Gen. Belknap. but in his second term
went to civil life for his War Secretary
after the Belknap scandal broke.
Mr.. Clevelands Secretary of War dur
ing his first term was a Massachusetts
lawyer. and during his second term
personal friend who had graduated from
the school of Albany Journalism into Mr..
Cleveland's service as private secretary.
At the time of the controversy between
Mr.. Cleveland and Lord Salisbury about
chuckling speculation as to where we
should come out in case of war, with Col.
Lamont at the head of the war Office.
The war with Spain found the War De-
partment presided over by a man who
had distinguished himself in the civil
war. Gen. Alger had been among the
most successful of the Union officers
recruited from civil life. But SO loud and
prolonged an cutlery was produced by
his services as Secretary of War that he
was forced to retire. Succeeding him
came Mr.. Root, lawyer, who did notable
things in the Office. and succeeding him
came Mr.. Taft another lawyer, who went
from the War Department to the White
House.

about his legal sheepskin. He will find
that 1t is not only not stranger in
the War Department. but is associated
there with great achievements. Many
lawyers have tried their hands there. and

trying period of the country's history

Auto Wrecks.

The advance Of spring is being marked
by automobile accidents. Sunday Is the
great day for the auto smash, because
more people are driving in autos on that
day and because a larger number of
auto drivers make long runs to the coun-
try, and. rolling along rustic roads, yield
to the speed temptation.
Newspapers are burdened with accounts
of autos that hit trees and trolley poles,
that skid into wayside bitches or roll
down high embellishments while running
forty miles an hour. and that collide with
railroad trains, trolley cars, and other
autos.
It Is too bad that the reckless. thought
less autoist cannot be saved from himself.
When a man is found breaking the speed
laws it would be charity to inflict on him
a penalty that would cause him to re-
member the fact. But despite speed laws
and good counsel. many automobiles
will break their necks and the necks of
persons who ride with them.

Tho German invasion Of England has
arrived. Not all the fears that have
kept Englishmen awake and which have
almost interfered with their appetite have
been realized, but at any rate the Ger
mans are in London. The Star reported
yesterday that Emperor William, Empress
Auguste Victoria and Princess Victoria
Louise. who arrived at Shearness on the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern, entered Lon
don and were welcomed with an enthusi-
asm which fully demonstrated the en-
perors personal popularity with English
men.
The horror OF the invasion is mitigated
by the fact that the king. queen and
other members Of the British royal family
met the visitors at Victoria station, and
all were driven in state to Buckingham
palace.
The London populace did not betray any
shuddering fear at sight of the invaders,
and the reports say that enormous crowds
thronged the route from the railway sta
ton up Grosvenor Place and Constitution
Hill to the palace and that cheers greeted
the party throughout the drive.
The Anglo-German war scare. or
rather the English scare, has sub
sided 1t quieted down as did the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS war when yellow
newspapers and yellow politicians found
that they could not talk two ancient
friends into fight. The Anglo-German
war was always more plausible than
the Yankee-Jap war, but even that fell
through. Yellow journalism and yellow
craftsmanship can create war scares
and blow up war clouds. but to make
nations fight is getting to be more and
more difficult War is so costly, so
demoralizing to business and so I'M
certain in it's results that nations will
only resort to 1T when they find 1t i'm
possible to settle differences otherwise.
The reunion Of German and English
royalty may do much to cement the
friendship of the two nations and keep
the international atmosphere clear The
visit of the kaiser to England is for no
other reason than to attend the unveil-
ing of the national memorial to Queen
Victoria and to pay visit to King
George and Queen Mary, but 1t will be
given political significance by those
who find their profit in interpreting the
acts of other people. A prominent man
10 never permitted to speak or act just
as common folk. He must always have
q motive and usually a bad motive.
But here's hoping that England and
Germany and all the other nations may
long remain friends

DEVELOPMENT of Potomac Park.

The development of Potomac Park is
being pressed forward by Col Spencer
Cosby, engineer officer in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds, to the limit
Of the funds available for that purpose
These efforts are, of course, being put
forth in West Potomac Park. the park
south and east Of the railroad bridge not
being ready for driveways. lawns and
shrubbery, as a dredge is pumping river
mud on this section of the park for the
double purpose of raising its level and
deepening the channels.
Col. Cosby is developing West Potomac
Park to the end Of making 1t the most
beautiful and useful riverside pleasure
ground in the world. A great deal has
already been done toward the attainment
Of this object The idea Of opening cross
roads at the foot of Goth. 21st and 23d
str eets is good one, in that 1t makes the
park more accessible to people west Of

The water park which is sometimes
proposed as one Of the features Of the
development Of the Eastern branch above
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge would fur

end, as the Potomac Park lagoon would

In Potomac Park the convenience OF
equestrians is also being taken into ac-
count. for despite the growing use of
the automobile, there seems to be a mod
crate revival Of horseback riding, and
this cannot be followed safely on the
streets or park roads over which SO
many gasoline cars are whizzing.
