THE STANDARD OIL DECISION

Condemnation of the Standard
Oil Company by the Supreme Court
were not unexpected. 1t will be
observed that no Justice dissented.
All voted to confirm the judgment
of the lower court. In several other
important cases under the Sherman
Act the division has been nearly
equal. This time all were in agree
ment as to the guilt of the defend
ant corporation. But the courts
decision, a very long one, was sharp
ly disapproved by Justice Harlan
because it set forth a new interpre-
tation of the statute. 1t is this
new Interpretation, and not the
affirmation of the Circuit Courts
order to the Standard Oil Company,
that has excited the extraordinary
interest in the decision.
Many have thought that the pro-
hibitions of the Sherman Act were
too broad because Gas indicated by
decisions and opinions in the past)
they included merely technical and
harmless restraints of trade, and
combinations which are not in.
furious to the public. Mr.. Roose-
welt said that full enforcement" of
the statute would destroy the bust
ness Of the country" and that the
effect was to make decent men
violators of the law against their
will" In notable cases it was held
that the prohibitions were not
limited to restraints unreasonable
in their nature The Sherman
Act was aimed at com binations built
up by unjust methods and injurious
to the people, We do not see that
the law has been weakened by the
Interpretation of it or the guiding
principal of procedure under it,
which all the Supreme Court but
one have approved. That interpre-
tation makes it no longer menace
to legitimate business, but it is still
an instrument to be used against
greedy corporations that wickedly

ALASKAN HOME RULE

The movement for home rule in
Alaska promises toreach fruition be-
fore the present session of Congress
adjourns. Alaskans see in this long
deferred recognition of their rights,
the first step toward granting them
those things to which they know
they are entitled as residents on
American territory. Delegate Jas.
Wickersham and Congressman w.
f. Humphrey, of Washington, be-
lieve the home rule measure will 60
through the House without serious
opposition, and they are appearing
before the senate committee on ter
ritories along with Senator w. L..
Jones, who introduced the home
rule bill in the upper house. In
dications are that the Senate will
pass upon the bill favorapIy. and
that President Taft will sign the
measure. With this much accom-
plished Alaskans believe the atmos-
phere will be clarified and the ex-
ecutive branch of the government
will act more rapidly on the coal,
oil and forestry problems confront
ing the northern territory.

GOOD CONDITIONS ARE
FOUND EVERYWHERE

One of the Seattle banks has Sc
cured, through several hundred cor
respondents in various parts OF the
Pacific Northwest, series of state
ments covering crop, trade, indus
trial and financial conditions all
over this bart of the country. The
report is to be issued in pamphlet
form to the patrons of the bank.
AS practically uniform rule bus
mess conditions are reported as sat
isfactory. In this state crop pros
poets were never better. The acre
age planted is the largest ever
known and also 50 far as wheat is
concerned the prospects are for
crop fully so per cent greater than
the crop of last year. The fruit
crop promises to be short of that
last year by about 25 per cent.
Should this be true, it does
not necessarily mean any serious
loss to the orchardists. If the crop
is short the price will be higher and
and the net returns to the fruit
grower will be about the same as
last year.
According to this report, the lum-
Der outlook for the year is far better
than was expected, in view of gen.
eral uniform improvement is pre-
dicted for the year to the extent of
about % per cent. All industries
are prosperous and expanding; a
great amount of building construc-
ton is reported in every direction.
Employment is abundant and in
many directions labor is hard to
get. This is particularly true of
farm labor. The unemployed are
largely the unemployable; those
who do not really want work or
who are incapable of doing it.
1t would be difficult to improve
upon the business conditions out
lined in this report. With album
dant crops in prospect, with bust
ness of every kind and character
expanding, with all industries do
ing better than in long time past;
with employment plentiful and
labor scarce, it is evident that the
whole Pacific Northwest is enjoying
a period of prosperity at present,
coupled with an even better outlook
for the near future.

THE IDIOTIC INDICTMENT

Murder has been written of as a
fine art, but it remained for the
United States to treat it as a sport.
In many of the states an indictment
for murder contains nearly enough
words to fill column of this week.

gunpowder and leaden bullets,
which said pistol he, the said J. F.

lawfully, purposely and of deliber-

discharge and shoot off to, against

however. 1t is part of our sporting
theory of justice, which makes a
murder trial a game of skill and
tinesse between opposing counsel.
By the slightest deviation from
statutory form one side may lose
the game. Convictions for the most
abhorrent crimes have repeatedly
been set aside because of trivial
verbal omissions in the indictment.
Had the murder referred to in
the above quotation occurred in
Canada, the indictment would have
read simply: The jurors of our
lord the King present that J. F. G.,
on the sixth day of August, one
thousand nine hundred and eight,
at the city of Winnipeg, in the
Province of Manitoba, murdered F.
NJ" Canadian procedure concerns
itself with the murder; ours, in
many jurisdictions, concerns itself
with the legal sport, whether the
murderer is punished or not being
a secondary consideration. Post.

Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Pa, Oct.
16-The Athletics defeated the New

worlds series here this afternoon amid
scenes as exciting as those which
marked the opening game at New
York Saturday Marquard was Nc
.Graws choice for the mound, while
Mack selected Eddie Plank, his best
sOuthpaw. Marquard was driven from
the rubber in the sixth, when Baker
drove the ball into the right field
bleachers for a homerun, driving in
Collins ahead of him. Plank was
steady at all times and fulfilled the
prophecy of his hackers that he would
defeat the New York marvel if pitted
against him. Crandall relieved Mar
guard in the seventh and held the
Athletics scoreless for the remainder
of the game.
Philadelphia started after this game
from the very first inning. They got
one across in the first round, but the
Giants tied them in the second. Until
the sixth neither side could score. New

TOO MANY SCHOOLS
SAYS GOVERNOR
Would Abolish Four Normals, Two
Preparatory And Some District
Agricultural Schools.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 16.-Goyernor
Lee Cruce believes that Oklahoma
made a great mistake when, in at
tempting to provide literally for higher
education it overdid the thing and not
only weakened its educational system
but imposed an excessive burden on
! rffrg- taxpayers IRE -sa1u Today:
1 should like to see a change in Ok
lahoma's system of higher education.
We foolishly established six normal
schools, two university preparatory
schools and six district agricultural
schools. No other state in the Unioru
with population as small as that of
Oklahoma has half so many educa-
tiOnal institutions that are supposed
to be doing higher educational work.
The people are groaning now under
taxation that is becoming larger year
by year, and with no hope of relief
unless the people take hold and settle
these matters in the right way.
Certainly four of the normals, both
OF the preparatory schools and some if
not all of the district agricultural
schools, should be abolished. This
would save the people, to say nothing
of appropriations for buildings, not less
than $350,000 a year that is being apz
propriated to maintain them. | have
no hope that this legislation could ever
be passed in the legislature because.
whether purposely done or otherwise.
these and our other institutions are sot
scattered as to enable a majority in
both branches of the legislature from
among those representatives who come
from the counties and districts in
which one or more of these institu-
tions are located.
'sThis is one case in which the peo-
pie could very proftably to themselves
and to the educational interests of the
state invoke the initiative, and | for
one would like to see that movement
started. We could then build a great
university, two good normal schools
and good agricultural college. But
we are now sapping the very life blood
out of these institutions and making
impossible the maintenance of any pre-
eminently great educational system.
What I am saying may not be pop
ular, but some men in the state ought
to give voice to the situation. There
is not one ma min a dozen who will
not say in heart to heart talk-not
to be quoted-that this ought to be
done.
While l favor retrenchment for
fewer and higher educational institu-
tions, l believe larger expenditures
should be made for primary education
in Oklahoma. believe in consolidated
rural district schools, where at all
probable, and think that a wider diffu-
sion of graded education would pro-
1uce better citizenship"
