DOCUMENT OF 5000 WORDS
HE SHARPLY REBuKEs FELLOW
MEMBERS ON BENCH FOR
MAJORITY OPINION
BRANDS IT AS MISCHIEVIOUS
PREDICTS 1T WILL THROW BuSI-
NESS OF THE COUNTRY
INTO CONFUSION

Washington, May 25.-Associate
Justice Harlan today filed in the SUI
preme court his formal dissenting
opinion in the Standard Oil case.
Not satisfied with his oral dissent
from the courts decision, as handed
down by Chief Justice White, Justice
Harlan entirely rewrote the stenO-
graphic report of his remarks from
the bench. The oral dissent formed
merely framework for the final
document, containing about 5000
words, put on record today. Justice
Harlan brands as miscihevious the
modification made by the court in the
decree of the lower court, permitting
subsidiary corporations Of the Stand
ard Oil, after the dissolution of the
combination, to make normal and
lawful agreements among them
selves. Chief Justice White had char
acterized this modification as a mi
nor matter"
The further declaration is made by
Justice Harlan that he is convinced
the courts opinion will throw the
business Of the country into confusion
and invite widely extended and 7har-
assing litigation, the injurious effects
of which will be felt for many years
to come.
As in his oral remarks Justice Har
Ian devotes himself largely to criti-
cism of the court for holding that
not every restraint of trade violates
the law. He reiterates that the court
reversed It's former ruling in the
Missouri freight and join traf-
fic associations cases.

PRESIDENT DENIES PARoLEs

Washington, May 25. = President
Taft last night denied the applications
for the pardon of Charles w. Morse
of New York and of John R. Walsh
of Chicago, the two most prominent
bankers ever convicted and sentenced
to federal prisons under the national
banking laws.
Not only did the president refuse
to pardon them, but he also declined
to exercise any other executive elem
ency in these cases or to shorten the
sentences imposed by the courts.
In denying the pardons the presi-
dent took a firm stand that the ma
tional banking laws or any other
laws must be upheld when they affect
the rich man even more than when
they affect the poor. The record in
the Walsh case, the president said,
shows moral turpitude of that insid-
GUS and dangerous kind to punish
which the banking laws were special
ly enacted"

SEVERELY CRITIClzES
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
JOHN w. FOSTER DOESN'T
LIKE HIS UTTERANcEs

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 25.-Se-
we're criticism of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt's recent public utterances
regarding international arbitration,
marked the speech of John w. Foster,
former secretary of state, today be-
fore the seventeenth annual meeting
of the Lake Mohonk conference on
international arbitration. "At the
same time" said Mr.. Foster, mot
withstanding Mr. Rooseveltis early
declaration in opposition to arbitra-
ton in general, he has done more
than any other living man to advance
this cause
The Anglo-American treaty of arbi-
tration. Mr.. Foster said, would have
10 appreciable effect on the arma-
ments of the world and that at pres
ent Germany could hardly be expect
ed to become party to like treaty.
Nevertheless, an unlimited arbitra-
ton is extended among the nations,
its beneficial effects must become
more and more apparent.

PROSECUTOR

victim OF the Italian malta, and that
Puro had been shadowing him ever

Home VS. Big City Paper.

Sometimes when the weekly
publisher refuses to reduce the
price of his publication, or per-
haps increases the rate because
it has been too low, he is con-
fronted with the statement that
a big daily from the city can be
obtained almost as cheap. The
reader forgets that it is the
quality, not the quantity, that
makes the publication valuable
to him. He may from day to
day scan the columns of the
foreign publication and not find
one item of town or country in
terest, while in the home paper
such matters are given promin-
ence and are recorded with a
regularity and completeness that
places the reader in touch with
all thai is going on about him. A
thousand and one things of deep
concern are mentioned in the
home papers that never see the
light of day in the big daily"
upon which so much stress is
laid. Yes, there is much reading
in1the latter publication, but the
valued information wanted is
not there, and hence it is not
cheap in comparison to the home
paper that helps the reader to-
ward @aaking and saving money.
