Victims" Of tn. Sherman Law
Baltimore Sun.


| William B Hornblower in his address
! before the American Bar Association
asserts that the Sherman antitrust
law never aas been and never can be
strictly and literally applied" as TO
apply il would produce chaos in the
business world" He contends that the
! decision of the supreme court that only
those conlbina ions which 'unduly' re-
strict trade are liable TO restraint fur
rishes the only Interpretation under
which the law can be enforced without
making II the instrument OF injustice
and ruin to The business community
Mr. Eornblower strongly opposes the
general demand for rigid enforcement;
OF the penal provisions of the anti
trust law. Admitting that the use of
unfair means to suppress competition
and to crush out rivals and agreements
with competitors TO raise prices or re-
strict productions are acts of moral
turpitude" that may well be regarded
as criminal: he holds that to make all
restraint of trade criminal is 10 pun
ism alike the Intentional nalefactor and
the honorable and uprigh: business
man who has been guilty only OF
technical violation of a prohbitory
law
Those who call for the enforcement
OF the Sherman law are not, as Mr..
Horn blower asserts, "cfamoring for
victims They DO not ask that any
upright and honorable business man be
sent 10 Jail But they know-and the
facts are hardly to be disputed-that
most Of the trusts have used unfair
means to suppress competition and
crush out their rivals; that they have
made agreements with competitors to
raise prices and restrict production
Yer the men who have done thesS
things have gone unpunished for the
very acts Mr.. Hornblower admits are
criminal Fines have proved unayail-
ing. for they are no punishment to
corporation that can secure the amount
at once by raising prices and making
the consumer pay the fine The crimi-
mails themselves go free. unwhipped OF
Justice
SO long as the Sherman law was rot
enforced the trusts ignored it. Now
that its civil features are being en-
forced, even in the modified manner
prescribed by the supreme court de-
cision. they are calling loudly for
amendments that will take away its
force They fear that some day its
criminal provisions vii, be made effec-
tive. for they see tina: these are the
teeth" Of the law

to exactly the same turning of the road
Jefferson had as bitter enemies as any
man tn public life. and yet he did not
stop to quarrel with them. He took
the broadest ground he could md on
which to plant his banner Of ultimate
democracy Jefferson by sagacity more
than anything else obliterated federal
ism and left his own platform to the
era Of good feeling.
Greeley once said Of Lincoln that he
could say more to help cause ana
less to in1ure It than any man who
ever went upon the stump. 1t was that
ability to avoid saying Injurious things
that made Lincoln the one man who
could have carried a united north thru
the civil war. There were times when
a single maladroit sentence would have
precipitated a crisis. One such sen.
tence in the letter to Governor Seymour
would have ruined the cause.

WHO'LL INTRODUCE TAFT:

that neither is. in this instance. spe-

Editor Young would naturally feel
like Introducing the president to the
farmers Of Iowa as the executive who
turned down by the people who gain
the dollars substracted from the values
of Iowa farms, is going to cut the
values of those farms in two The ex-
senator has declared that the lowering
OF Canadian tariffs was like the ma
rauding efforts Of Jesse James and
his rough riders.
More than that. the president has
expressed himself in favor Of revising
the famous schedule Il and Young
has selemn!y declared that II the wool
schedule is lowered 80 per cent it will
close every wooden mill in the United
States and destroy the wool Industry

Marine MEN HAPPY:
8 HOUR BILL PASSED
Martin Cole Returns From Wash.
ington With Good News for
Local Sailors.
Bill to- Require License for Pilots
on 65-Foot Craft Is Still
Pending.

Martin Cole, in charge of the state
free employment bureau. has returned
from Washington, D. c., where he
went to work for the eight hour law
On government contract work and to
secure new clause in the law gov
erning 65-foot steam vessels
The eight-hour bill passed the
house Of representatives on wednes-
cay of this week. Mr.. Cole says that
1t was heartily supported by: nearly
BIZ the congressman.
At the present time a. man does not
need to pass an examination in order
tc navigate a 65-foot steam vessel.
This is the part of the law the Ii
censed Tugmen's Protective associa-
ton wants changed. The members
claim that an examination is neces-
sary as on ferry boats hundreds of
lives are jeopardized when a. boat IS
operated by an incompetent pilot.
Mr.. Cole says that the change meets
with a great deal of favor. He states
that either new clause in the old
bill or a new bill will be passed nj
the present session.

SET ASIDE AVENUES
FOR KIDS TO COAST
Council and Police Would Do
Well to Take Up Sugges-
ton of MIR. Burgess.
Out Of Door Sport Is Healthful.
Children Should Be Pro
tected and Helped.

Why don't the city officials take
UP that excellent idea of William Bur
CESS and designate certain streets and
avenues in the city to be used by
children during certain hours for
coasting? It strikes the Labor World
that the plan of Mr.. Burgess is the
best that has yet been proposed by
any person.
He not only advocates that certain
streets and avenues be set apart, but
he believes that policemen should be
detailed to points of danger at cer-
tain hours of the day when the
weather is favorable to afford the
fullest protection to children coasting
down the hills.
Some cross streets could be closed
to traffic during the hours desig-
mated for coasting time, and police
men could be stationed at the cross
ing where 1t is impracticable to close
traffic. and particularly on fine streets
used by the street railway company.
The more one thinks of this scheme
the more impressed he becomes with
it. There is beautiful sentiment in
It. 1t will encourage out of door
sports among the boys and girls that
are now somewhat restricted, and
children will coast down the hills,
even at points where there is extreme
danger.
Why not give children the protec-
ton they are entitled to by the city ?
Why do we always look at the COM
meEcial side of things? The alder
man who will succeed in getting a
resolution through the council direct
Ing the police department to carry
out the plan of Mr.. Burgess will win
the everlasting praise of a Eoodly
number of Duluth parents, and the
gratitude Of Dulutl's boys and girls,
What alderman is sufficiently inter-
ested to make the move?

JOY Time for the Riddles
But, Oh N.Y.! Poor Father

fear they may do something that will
not please the exacting king of the
child world.
They are happy Riddles these days,
and they look eagerly and happily
and expectantly into the toy window
and the myriads of things from
among which they are to receive
their goodies.
1t is a happy time for mamma, who
likes to humor the little ones and
commands much more respect and at
tention to her orders from the tenn
porarily obedient little ones.
Then there is papa-poor, Shaving,
Woodworking papa-who wonders
and worries about what is coming 10
him. He is happy with the children,
but those bills which Santa Claus
brings with him clip an appalling
hole in the family purse. and papa
sees before him many days of hard
work making up for the extra
vagances of this one day of the year.
