London, Sept. 1.-The labor trou-
bles that England has experienced
during the past five weeks have caus-
ed some serious reflection on the part
of friends as we'll as opponents of the
Government However quietly things
may go along for while, it must be
acknowledge, some experts claim, that
England must have some definite set
tlement of the difference between cap
ital and labor. Temporary settlements
will only make things more difficult
in the end, and there is an undercur-
rent of unrest that is none the less
noticeable, though there is tendency
on the part of those mostly concerned
to ignore it.

Oldest Member of
The High Court
Makes a Lone Fight

The oldest member Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. both in
years and point of service, John Mar
shall Harlan of Kentucky, stands in a
class by himself today as the most
progressive member of Americas high
est judicial tribunal. He will be
seventy-eight years old June /, and
has served as an associate justice OF
the Supreme Court for thirty-three
years.
With vigor most extraordinary for
a man of his age, Justice Harlan took
his stand in opposition to the other
eight members Of the court, ana CON
tended that no concessions should be
allowed monopolies; that the decision
in the lower court in the case OF the
Standard OIL Company should be az
firmed without amendment
Harlan denounced with irony and In
bitter terms, the action of the Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices IN
declaring that restraint of trade" must
be "unrea sonable' to come within the
meaning of the antitrust lew. He de-
clared that the court was legislating,
not interpreting the law.
The aged jurist has been in failing
health, dispite his robust appearance.
for many months. The action of Presi-
dent Taft IN elevating Justice White,
over his head to be Chief Justice, was
a severe blow to the venerable mans S
pride, but he has held up well. Mrs.

in a front seat during his recital, when

The chief violations of law

Restraint and monopOlization by

Unfair methods of competition,

ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

scalp which torture and disfgurs man

Millions are born with eczema, and il
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions AZ
fscting the skin, ignorance OF its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted countless
numbers during their entire lives. Ec-
zerna is Q skin disease. 1t Is not re-

the skin. causing loss Of sleep. s usually

caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filed with an acrid fluid which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. Now
vesicles form, all and burst, scales form

Two Notifications
Noted in Ruling of
The Supreme Court

The decision of the Supreme Court. as
handed down by Chief Justice White,
crushes the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey It affirms, with some mod
ihcations, the decision Of the United
States circuit court which ordered the
Standard OIL monopoly dissolved. The
notifications ordered by the Supreme
Court are chiefly two. In the first
place, It allows the Standard Oil Com
pany six moths instead of thirty days TO
wind UP its affairs In the secod place.
It allows the main company and its
subsidiaries to engage in interstate COM
merce pending the lme Wnen oissolulion
is brought about.
The lower courts decision would have
compelled the company to END 1ts ex-
istence in thirty days. It would also
have shut 1t at once out OF interstate
commerce.
But the Supreme Court, to use the
language of Chief Justice White, did
not feel warranted in laying "the hand
% enormous business interests involved.
The Supreme. Court found that the
Standard Oil company was comotna-
ton In restraint Of trade within the
meaning Of the first section of the SEer-
man law and that II was an attempt To
ndunr,,IlZ.; 1lhin the meah:GS ~; the
sec2lI section Of the law.
Difference of Opinion.
Itwas in the process of reasoning that
led up to the conclusions Of the ma
iority of the court that big business
Nh most interested. And in the rea-
sofiing. there was a sharp difference
between the opinion of Chief Justice
White. who spoke for all Of the court
but Justice Harlan, and the dissenting
opinion of Justice Harlan.
Chief Justice White held in substance
| that light of reason" must be applied
| 20 combinations to ascertain il they are
| in violation, of the Sherman law
That is, he held In substance that a
combination mot unreascnably restrtc-
| tive of competition" was not within the
puryfew of the law. After cnunciating
| that doctrine. he proceeded to find from
| The evidence that the Standard oil Com
pany was in unreasonable restraint of
competition ard was an attempt to
nioncpolize within the meaning Of the
/ act. .E-.s
In reaching this conclusion. he gave a
concise but mastery review of the evil
] dence, and recited the steps which the
Standard Oh Company had taken to

E. J. Sawyer, at Insane
Hospital, Not Wealthy

Edwin J. Sawyer is not the man OF
wealth he was thought to Be when ar
rested here April g and sent to the
Government Hospital for the Insane.
He is a farmer in moderate circum-
stances, and when his wife and rela-
tives are told they can take him to
his home in Middleton, n. Y, they
will come for him.
This was explained this morning by
the Board of Charities.
Sawyer, shortly after being taken to
the hospital became worse. Secretary
Wilson of the Board of Charities says
he has learned through correspondence
with the mans relatives that this at
tack is a recurrence, Sawyer having
been treated before for a similar
trouble.
AS soon as Sawyer's condition per-
mits, Mr.. Wilson will notify his rela-
tiyes to come and take him home.

Trust Is Dissolved, But Law Weakened by Decision

whether the corporation was doing an
unlawful business. This investigation
did not proceed far. Attorney General
Wickersham decided that It would be
useless to go far until 1t could be learn
ed what the decision OF the court would
be in the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases.
The first of these cases was decided
yesterday, and 1t Is said today 1t has
President that the United States Steel
Corporation cannot be successfully
PROSECUTED as a monopoly in restraint Of
trade to an unreasonable" extent.
II is even doubted If the corporation
could be proven monopoly even IN
reasopable restraint of trade. 1t con.
trolls less than so per cent Of the steel
output of the United States ="
Fear "Unreasonable.s
This is the first effect, so far as the
Administration is concerned, Of tne
Standard OIL opinion. II any other
prosecutions are to be abandoned on ac-
count of the unreasonable" clause in
the decision, no intimation has come
out of the White House.
1t is known that the Cabinet discussed
the decision at great length today. Its
whole scope was reviewed as far as
1t was possible to review II at a Sit
ting of this body. The lawyer members
of the Cabinet agreed with the Presi-
dent that the decision wag historic.
and that it would have widespread
effect not only on politics. but on the
policy OF Industrial enterprises.
1t is known, too. that the President
proposes to push his Federal incorpo-
ration policy with greater vigor than
ever. Many Of his advisers regard this
as one of the remedies for the Industrial
abuses pointed out by the Supreme
Court in Yesterdays opinion. Among
the strongest advocates OF this Is Sec
retary Nagel, himself lawyer. and
close student of the relation Of Indus
try to government.
Nagels Opinion.
As he entered the Cabinet meeting to-
day the Secretary said that the same
company incorporated in two different
States was a fact in itself suspicious,
and he added that It was better rule
to lay down the powers Of an enterprise
in its charter than to restrict 1t by
statute.
Ali this points to the fact that the
Administration is preparing to urge
the Federal Incorporation idea with
more energy than ever before.
Those who talked to the President to-
day say that he refuses to express his
| Judgment of the decision and Its ef-
feet. They say he prefers to walt until
| he can go over the whole matter care
fully himself, and then 20 over II again

Every woman s heart responds to
the charm and sweetness OF a

even the loving nature OF mother

such a time is regarded as period

who use Mothers Friend are saved
much discomfort and suffering, and
their systems, being thoroughly

it is in no sense remedy for vari-
