THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT SAYS THAT IT MONOP
OILY IN UNDUE" RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE GIVES DECISION
Associate Justice Harlan DSaeees With the Court the Con-
StruCtiOn Of the Sherman Antitrust
Law

A few days ago the Supreme Court of
the United States gave a decision IN the
Standard Oil case, in which il is deelar,
ed that the corporation is operating It's
business in restraint of trade.
Tuesday the same court decteed that
tn e tobacco trust is monopoly in
restraint of trade. There are 81 corpor-
ations which form the monopoly.
The Sherman Antitrust Law.
Justice Harlan in his dissenting opin-
ion in the tobacco case brings out the
point that the court is enchroaching
on the legislative branch, of our national
government because chef Jnstice White
in giving his opinion reads into the act
itself the words-"unreasonable," or
''undue" in connection with restrained
trade.

The Fiftieth Anniversary Of the War.
Fifty years have passed since Lin

United States, fifty years ago Fort

gan. A half century OF history has
been written since the sharp sword
OF secession cut the white flower OF
peace which fell upon the crimson soil
OF war. The coming of the struggle had
long been prOcrastiuated through the
elOqu nee of Wendall Phillips and
Henry Ward Beecher on platform and
political sagacity OF Daniel Webster
and John G. Calhoun Ia the congres ess
OF the United States, but no liquid elO-
.qpen2e flowing in fiery Oratory could
stem the tide OF slavery, secession,
and war. There were three million
reasons why the north won the strug-
gle with the South, and every one of
them was dressed in blue"

will hear words worth listening TO,
and each and every one OF them had
their expectations more than met.
Every sentence was glisten!ng with
the kindest memories for the dead
soldier, with love and admiration for
the living ex-soldier, and with pathos
and loyalty for our united country and
the old flag, the glorious emblem of
liberty, the pride of every true Ameri-
can, honored and admired by every
nation the wide world round; and al
times many OF the audience were in
tears, and again their hearts were
ready TO leap from their throats at the
mention OF that Grand Old Emblem OF
Liberty. The truth is the people OF
Elk Point and Union County have a
heartfelt admiration for Capt. Hughes
and only await to do him honor. But
the seven ghastly wounds he received
in the deadly conflict are leaving their
mark as the years grow apace and all
realize 1t; our prayer is that a kind
providence may spare him many years
yet. At the close OF The Grafton the
choir sang "The Sweet Bye-and. Bye, /"
after which Rev. NJ. Miller made q
few remarks full OF interest TO every
one present, and but for the threaten

gladly listened to him for an hour.
