reads: Tom Perkins, a Chicago youth,
DIS arrested, charged with being one
of the carn-barn bandits, to whom
is attributed series of bold rob-
berries. The disgraced parents also
suffer for their sons crimes, the elder
Perkins being thrown out of Job.
and they are forced to leave their
rented cottage on account of the bad
character OF their son. Perkins and
his wife then go West to begin life
anew. Tom, liberated from prison,
goes West and becomes a bandit. He
and his pal, Steve Ray, rob an express
office in a general store, which is in
charge of Toms father, though this
fact is unknown to Tom. Later when
he discovers that he has robbed his
own father, he forces Ray to accom-
pany him to the sheriff's office, where
Tom confesses and asks that they be
made TO pay for their crimes. bad

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

MI EMoRIAL DAY as a holiday has been taken advantage u
AVN almost universally for recreation. The holiday ever since
it was created has been largely devoted to excursions ana
outdoor sports. Those who regard the day as sacred to the mem
cries of the nations dead have resented this popular tendency. ihey
would identify the day wholly with the purpose for which 1t IA set
apart. But there are two sides to this question. The american
people have fewer holidays than any other nation OF people and
they work harder and faster than any other. Therefore when
Memorial Day was created it was instantly seized upon as a means
of relief. Labor Day. since created, has also become a day OF holiday
recreation for all. The people needed the new holidays III TOOK
them. Today, however, the celebration of the day is more in the
memorial spirit. Fifty years have now elapsed since the nation
became involved in the greatest civil war in history and todays
celebration is commemorative of that historical event, whlch
wrought so much disaster, but out of which we emerged as a great
world power. What we witness in Newark's streets is seen in every
city town and hamlet in most Of the States, for out of them all went
volunteers to the war. Every city, town and hamlet has It's graves
of veterans. and in all of them the thoughts of people revert back
fifty years to the time when the vast army of the dead, then IN the
prime of life and yigor. were mastering in the East and IL west
preparatory to the great tragedy of war. Memorial Day fifty years
after also marks the final extinction of the animosities of the Civil
War. The old sectionalism no longer exists, and the survivors OF
the blue and gray now meet in fraternal spirit to indulge a common
patriotism.

THE TOBACCO TRUST DECISION.

TT INCLUDED in the tobacco trust which yesterday was declared
outlaw by the United States Supreme Court are slxtyhVe
American corporations, two British corporations and twenty
nine individuals. The octopus is both national and International,
but the British companies are merely gigantic tentacles stretching
out from the body of the monster having its lair in New York
city. Can this vast and powerful combination be made to
disinteprate and its business be recreated in a way to comply
with the letter and spirit of the antitrust law? Can the relations
of the constituent companies be dissolved without such dslocation
of the trusts business affairs as will cause great Generalization and
loss? Ii is left to the lower court to provide for recreating the
tusines machinery. but what plan can be devised, within the law,
TO maintain the properties and let the business go on without
sacrifice? And shall the government stop now that it has secured
the condemnation of the trust? The decision opens the door to Grim
inal nrosecution of the twentynine individuals named in the suit
as defendants. viii they be prosecuted? Will the managers of the
Standard Oil Company be prosecuted? The logic of the two
decisions is unquestionably for that course.
