REVIEWS PROCEEDINGS.


Chief Justice White in his opin-
ion, first reviewed the preliminary
proceedings in the case in the circuit
court of the United States for the
eastern district of Missouri.
He restarted the essential points
in the bill of the government ask
ing for the dissolution of the Stan
dard Oil and the answer questioning
the Jurisdiction of the court, and
denying the claims of the govern
ment. He dismissed the objection
to the jurisdiction in a few words
by hol2ing that it was not well
founded.
He then came to the arguments
as to the law and the facts in the
case, saying that out of the jungle"
of law and facts both sides were
agreed only in one thing and that
was that the determination of the
controversy rested upon the proper
construction and application of the
first and second sections of the anti
trust acts.

CONSIDERS SHERMAN LAW.

In this state of affairs the chief
justice seized upon the single point
of concord, namely, the application
of the two sections of the Sherman
antitrust law, as the initial basis of
an examination of the contention.
The rest of his opinion divided it.
self into a consideration of the mean
ing of the Sherman antitrust law in
the light of the common law and the
law of the United States at the time
of it's adoption, the contentious of
the parties concerning the act and
the scope and effect of the decisions
of the supreme court, the applica-
ton of the statute to the facts and,
lastly, the remedy.

VIEWS WIDE APART.

The views of the two sides, as to
the law, the chief justice said, were
as wide apart as the poles. The
same, he said, was true as to the
facts.
THUS on the one hand with re-
lentless pertinacity and minuteness
of analysis" said the chief justice,
cit is insisted that the facts estab-
lished that the assailed combination
took its birth in purpose to unlaw-
fully acquire wealth by depressing
the public and destroying the just
rights of others, and that its entire
career exemplifies an inexorable car
rying out of such wrongful intents,
since, it is asserted, the pathway of
the combination from the beginning
of the time of the filing of the bill
is marked with constant proofs of
wrong inflicted upon the public and
is strewn with the wrecks resulting
from crushing out, without regard to
law, the individual rights of others.
CITES MENACE CLAIMS.
at is asserted that the existence
of the principal corporate defendant,
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, with it's vast accumulation of
property, because of its potency for
harm and the dangerous example
which its continued existence af-
fords, is an open and enduring men
ace to all freedom of trade and by
word and reproach to all modern
methods.
"On the other hand, in power
full analysis of the facts, it is insisted
that they demonstrate that the
origin and development of the vast
business which the defendants con-
troll was but the result of lawful COM
oetitive methods, guided by economic
genius of the highest order, sustain !
ed by courage, by keen insight into |

Parents and ChiIdren's Faults.

Parents ought to c~ollaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the

quently to eliminate the worst. In

teacher who tries to talk Of the faults
Of their children and discuss a rem.

er has hoped to do in character build

lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child must be without faults,
and that the teacher who see faults
Is an enemy, not a friend. 1t Is sell
dom, indeed, that a man or a woman
occupying the position Of a teacher Is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criticising a child.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
fHE "RACk TO THE LAND" CRY
Is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state Of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
lion to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown a farm thai was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be a high hg-
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the CROPS OF corn, hogs
md cattle that could be raised upon
Il. But it wasn't. A few weeks since
he farm changed hands at 1926 an
here. Over In Illinois, down In In
llama. up in Wisconsin, across the
line In Minnesota, the same expert
bnce was met with. And then atten-
ion is directed to Canada. which has
been the Mecca of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
lew years. Not only in Eastern Can
ida has the price OF lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to five dollars an
lcre, with the prospect Of a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this Is very apparent,
Ind In a few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands are worth q great
zeal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agricultural OF
Minneapolis, a paper that was one Of
the first of the American farm papers
70 discover the real merits OF the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: THE reciprocity sched-
ale would encourage American farm
srs to to Canada, where the viz
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro-
1uced In our own farms In the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values In Canada" This paper
Ii afraid land values in Canada will be
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact hat land values in the
United States are increasing the rea
Soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops Of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly OF the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth of the soil is regu.
lating the price. A study OF the In.
crease In the acreage of land put I'm.
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio han ever the most sangutne
would have predicted.

The Value ct tho Separator.

The value OF the cream separator Is
based on the amount 1t saves out OF
the loss OF the cream that Is common
under the old or primitive methods.
Usually there Is a loss of from rs to
60 per cent. Of the cream. The cream
separator ave this loss, and, COM
putting that under the average price
of butter fat the cream separator will
save the farmer so or more a COW
per year, so we see that If the farm
err milks five or six lows he saves
enough In one year to buy a cream
separator above the old methods.
