as to what contracts are in restraint
OF trade reasonably or unreasonably.
We are not going to leave that to any
circuit Judge. We will determine it
as a part Of the policy of the United
States that, so far as interstate trade
is concerned. no body or corporation
shall make or attempt to enforce a
contract, any contract, that in any
degree restraints interstate trade "
Three times, said Justice Harlan,
the supreme court, after listening to
the arguments OF the ablest lawyers
in the United States, had decided that
every" combination in restraint of
interstate commerce was forbidden by
the Sherman act.
If the act ought to be amended"
he said, quoting from the opinion of
the court in the trans Missouri case,
Congress is the body to amend it
and not this court by a process Of
judicial legislation, wholly unjustifi-
able"
Under those former decisions he
said, millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty have changed hands and men
have been sent to Jail He protested
strongly against reversal of the
courts carefully considered decisions
in the former cases and said:
I'm the now not very short life that
have passed in this capital and the
public service of the country, the most
alarming tendancy of this day in my
judgment, so far as the safety and
integrity of our institutions are con-
cerned, is the tendency to judicial
Legislation, so that, when men having
vast interests are concerned, and they
cannot get the lawmaking power of
the country which controls it to pass
the legislation they desire, the next
thing they do is to raise the question
in some case, to get the court to so
construe the constitution or the stat
utes as tomean what they want 1t to
mean. That has not been our prac-
tice"
And again: Practically the decision
today do not mean the judgment
but parts of the opinions to the eff
feet practically that the courts may,
by mere judicial construction, amend
the constitution of the United States
or an act of Congress. That, it
strikes me, is mischievous; and that
is the part of the opinion that | es-
pecially object to-"

board relative to the garbage pit of
the city just outside the city limits
west of town. He stated that the
place was a public nuisance and that

jected to the garbage being carried
there and appealed to the board TO
take action to prevent the city from
dumping garbage at that point The
county attorney advised the board that,
inasmuch as the ground on which the
garbage is being dumped is not the
property of the county, the board has
no jurisdiction in the matter, but sug-
gested that the board address letters
to the state health officer and the
county solicitor calling their attention
to the matter and asking that the city
be enjoined from using this place for
a garbage pit. The board passed a
resolution to this effect

evidenced by a dispatch received by
the Register from New York last night,
In which mention is made of a pro-
posed traffic arrangement with the
Illinois Centrai-an arrangement that
would hardly be entered into by large
corporation with a new and weak line
which, by any chance, might become
a competitor for Gulf coast export and
import traffic. The message follows:
How It Looks to New York.
''The New Orleans, Mobile and Chi
cago railroad is making a survey from
Middleton, Tenn, its northern terminus,
to Jackson, forty miles north, and
plans to extend to that point as soon
as ARRANGEMENTS for financing the work
can be made. President Berg says it
will cost about 100000 to build the
road into Jackson. The people of Jack
son plan to raise 100000 for the un-.
dertakfng and will take stock in the
company IN return. Arrangements for
securing the remainder have not been
completed
TT is the intention OF the officers of
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
to extend the road ultimately to the
Ohio river. They say definite plans
for reaching the river have not been
decided upon. but that they will prob
ably include traclSage rights over the
Illinois Central to Milan and then con-
struction to Paducah or some other
river point. This would give the New
Orleans, Mobile and Chicago a short
line between New Orleans, Mobile AMI
the Ohio river.
1.-THE great advantage that through
line to the river would be to the road
is in the divisions of rates. Rates di-
vide at the Ohio and at present the
New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago has
to take a smaller fraction of the south
ern division than the proportionats
length of it's haul to the total distance
By extending about $50 miles to the
river it will get the entire southern di-
vision of rates. At Middleton the road
connects only with the east and west
line of the Southern railway. When it
reaches Jackson it will have better
connections to the north over the Illi-
nois Central, Mobile and Ohio, and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis"

COUNTY FUNDS
TO HIGH BIDDER
GOVERNOR eILcHRIsT LEARNS
OF ACT OF A CERTAIN TREAS
URER AND IMMEDIATELY
TAKES ACTION TO HAVE LAW
ENACTED.
Special to The Journal.

Tallahassee, April 11.-Just before
the legislature convened, Governor
Gilchrtst was informed that the coun-
ty treasurer of one of the counties
was keeping the county funds in a
certain bank, drawing interest, and
that the county treasurer was appro-
priating the interest money to his own
personal use. instead of paying it into
the county fund.
The governor referred to this matter
in his message to the legislature, and
recommended the enactment of law
providing for the deposit of county
funds in banks at interest, with a pro-
vision for the county to receive the
benefit of interest paid on moneys so
deposited.
At the same time, the governor sub
mitted the specific case which had
been reported to him to the attorney
general for an opinion as to the law
relating to the matter.
The attorney general has now sub
mttted to the governor the following
opinion:

 The popular impression as to the ap- sncation of burnt cork by minstrel serformers and actors in general is hat it is rubbed on the face and hands as the player from a cork whose end hs -harred in a convenient gas jet. This impression is. however incorrect. The ournt cork used by minstrels and others is the product of the theatrical paint factories" just as is any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the .rofession.
 One house makes it in the following manner. The cor!5s are placed in three in vessels. resembling wash boilers. with holes punched in their sides and bottom. Alcohol is sprinkled over tho corks. and they they are fired" When the corks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks. which are kneaded in barrels of water This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water.
 When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff Is put up in cans, from which. when the minstrel is ready to "black up," he takes little of the black paste in his hands and applies 1t to his face. neck and sometimes his hands.-New York Herald

 The American in London, on his first visit to that marvellous city. is struck by the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesmaD is purveyor to their majesties. Yet. when the matter is sifted. the number is not so large.
 Officially. according to the London News, there are about 200 tradesmen in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled to use the royal arms as shop sign, with the accompanying words, By royal appointment" The royal warrant has to be received signed and sealed in due form; other. wise. if tradesman styles himself a purveyor to a member of the royal family without this formal permission, he is guilty of an offense which is punishable by fine not exceeding E2O Moreover, he is liable to simi. lar fine if he uses arms so nearly re- sembling the royal arms as to lead people to believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalty. Several instances have occur red of the enforcement of these penal. ties.

 The pitiable part is the people are vtctimized by misplaced confidence. The vandals used to call themselves tree men," and since scientific tree surgery has been developed most of them have assumed the title of Htree doctor" and are doing even more dam- age by putting materials into cavities (without knowledge of how to do it) and killing valuable trees that would live many years if left alone
 Citizens, if you have regard for your trees keep these criminals out of them. "Criminals" Yes, sir. What else is the destruction of property but crimi- nality? Is not tree property? Then why let illiterate and vicious men de- stroy them?
 The way to ''trim a tree" consists largely in leaving it alone. Lawn or park trees in the main should be allow ed to grow with branches sweeping on the ground. The principal reason for this is that 1t is perfect root protection. It creates practically the woodland condition. as explained in the preced- ing article. Such trees keep their own roots cool in July and August and sustain no shock from drought Cut of the tier of branches where the little girl is and the one above 1t, the tree would die or be worthless in ten years.
