Senator EdmundS' Story.

Senator George f. Edmunds was
the principal author of the Sherman
antitrust law, but Sherman thought
of it first. realized the situation to
which it should apply, introduced a
bill dealing with the subject and was
gOod-hearted and greatminded
enough to let ADLER lawyers than
himself, able as he was in that re-
spect, make the statute what we
know it to be as it has stood in the
law for the last twenty years.
The late Senator George F. Hoar
claimed that he was the real author
and that there was nothing to the bill
but the title that was to the credit
Of Mr.. Sherman. But a member of
the clerical force of the committee
has shown recently from the original
minutes Of the committee that Mr..
Hoar was mistaken; that he contri-
buted one section to the law, two or
three men another section and Mr..
Edmunds nearly all Of the rest.
1t is, then, with special interest
that one reads the account of the law
that is given by Senator Edmunds,
the only survivor of the ablest judi
cial committee that the Senate has
ever known, and the chief signifi-
canoe of Mr.. Edmund's article is that
that committee accepted the rule of
reason as the true way of interpret
ing the law and insists that it should
be applied now the same as that rule
has been applied to other statutes of
like character for hundreds of years.
Senator HOar in his autobiography
expressed his deep regret that the
earlier decisions of the court ignored
the practical method Of interpreta-
ton of criminal statutes which had
been regarded as settled practice for
centuries, and feared that in conse-
quence the law would fail of reach
ing the purpose of it's enactment. But
the later decisions of the court, as
Senator Edmunds shows, have
brought the law back by means of
the Oldfashioned method of inter-
probation and made it servicable as
if it were a repeating rife or re-
volver, for he declares that as vari-
Gus questions arise under the law
everyone finds clauses relating, but
remedies will be brought into use
whether it be equity, injustice, in
terdict and mandate. fine, forfeiture
and Imprisonment itself.
1t is not at all surprising that Sem
ator Edmunds should be anxious to
have some credit at last for that won
derful statGts and he is right in put

ton brokerage firms:
First: Experiments were made
by the Marsh Committee at one of
the largest New England mills to de-
termine the question Of spinnable
differences in grades Of cotton and
the result of these Investigations is
published on page 317, Agricultural
Committee, House Of Representa-
tives at Washington, in Feb. 1910,
from the cotton crop Of 1906 80.
they are stated as follows:
Loss in grade of middling cotton,
IL and 6-100 per cent; loss in grade
of low middling, IA and $500 per
cent. loss in grade of good ordinary,
16 and 73-1O0.
"Similar experiments, covering sub
stantially the same results have been
made by German and Alsatian spin
ners. Tests of the Clemson Agri-
cultural College in South Carolina
have given similar results"
The second quotation is as follows:
THE New York cotton exchange
has made the following difference be-
tween grades:
Low middling 80 points off of
off of middling."
1t seems to me that the information
contained in these two extracts, when
together, shows so completely the
methods used by the cotton exchang
es of the world in swindling the cot
ton growers Of the South that they
should be published and explained to
the people of the South the schemes
now in existence for the purpose of
lowering the price of cotton.
When a bale of middling cotton goes
through the mill there is a loss &C
cording to the above figures, of II,
5000 per cent. Now let us
take this figure for basis and see
just what the arbitrary action Of the
New York cotton exchange in max
ing differences does for the cotton
farmer.
The actual loss between middling
and low middling is 8 and 25-100
per cent; the New York cotton eX-
change difference is 80 points off.
The actual difference between grade
and good ordinary is 5 and 13-1OO
per cent; the New York difference is
215 points. This is to say that while
low middling turns out an actual loss
under middling cotton Of 3 and
25-100 per cent, or 28 points. the
New York cotton exchange arbitrar-
lily places this difference at 80 points.
AS an illustrations: assuming that
middling cotton today is worth, in
Macon, IL per pound, the real
spinnable difference between this
grade and low middling would be %
points as against 80 points put on it
by the exchanges; in case of good or
binary, with middling at the same
price, 6 1-2) the real spinnable diff
ference in value would be "A points
as against 215 points of the New
York cotton exchange. In one case
there is a loss of SO points, in the
other loss of III points.
Each point means 100 Of cent,
so the cotton grower is called on to
take, respectively IL and one and
ga cents per pound, less than the
real spinnable value of his lower
grades of cotton. In year like this
when at least 10 per cent of the crop
will grade under middling" how
much this difference means to the
South can be readily seen when the
average loss of 1 cent per pound, on
70 per cent of the crop of 5000
600 bales would be, approximately
$50,000,00O over and above the real
spinnable loss in values. This

Washington.-A sharp clash be-
tween Representative Mann of ILL
nois, Republican leader of the house,
and Representative Sisson, Democrat,
of Mississippi, gave the house an ex-
citing moment Saturday. What many
members characterized as a challenge
was hurled by Representative Sisson
at the Illinois member, who, he said,
was protected by the rules of the
house from what Mr.. Sisson would
like to do or say to him.
II do not ask for any protection by
the rules of the house." Mr.. Mann re-
torted sharply.
The house broke into an uproar,
which o O quoted, and consideration
of the appropriation bill proceeded
without further hostilities between
the two members.
The interchange, which threatened
for a moment to have unpleasant con
sequences, resulted from Mr.. Sisson's
efforts to secure the adoption of an
amendment to the urgent deficiency

to be sold to private concerns.
