which will come up for reargument in the
United States Supreme Court this week,
subject the Sherman antitrust law to the
severest test II has experienced In the
twenty years OF It's existence Attorney
General Wickersham has spoken Of the
Standard Oil case as the most important
suit that ever came before the court. The
cases were set for reargument on January
3. but other business will probably cause
a delay until January ), when II is believed
that the arguments in the Tobacco case,
which will be heard first, will begin.
The Standard Oil suit was Instituted in
1906 in the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Eastern Division OF the
Eastern District of Missouri. The govern
ment was the complainant. II alleged that
the Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey,
as a holding company, had acquired since
1899 and held by direct stock ownership
sixty-five companies. These companies, II
was charged, owned the stock of forty
nine others, making a total OF ia. The
government asked that this organization
be dissolved.
A year was taken by the four judges OF
the Circuit Court, TO pass on the case.
BY their unanimous decision a decree dis
solving the organization was made both
because II was In restraint of interstate
commerce and because II was attempting to
monopolize. Before the decree became ef-
fective an appeal took the case 70 the Su-

Points Of the Tobacco Case.

The Tobacco case was instituted in 1907
in the Circuit Court for the Southern Dis
trict OF New York The government here
also was the complainant Allies in the
various branches of the tobacco business,
with combined assets OF more than $780,
O0,oo constituted the organization the gov
ernment sought to have the court dissolve.
The four judges rendered separate opin-
ions, but three Of them united in a decree
holding that many OF the corporations had
entered into a combination in restraint OF
trade, in violation of the first section Of
the Sherman antitrust law. These three
dccreed the dissolution Of this combination
Other corporations, including the United
Cigar Stores Company, the Imperial To-
bacco Company and the British-American
Tobacco Company, were found not to be
IN the combination. None was held to be
monopolizlng in violation OF the second
section Of the Sherman law.
The application Of the Sherman law TO
these organizations involves an investiga-
tion of the facts. well as an interpreta-
tion of the law. The principal uncertainties
In regard TO the law cluster around three
words in the statute. These words form
the basis of three questions: What is com
merce"? What is restraint" OF trade or
commerce? and What is il to "monopo-
lize"?

Class History
By
MYRTLE STUBBLEFIELD

Friends, 1 will give you the his
lory of the members who compose
the Pooahontas High School gradu-
ating class of nineteen-eleven.
The members of the class were
born in Arkansas, with one excep-
ton, Elizabeth Jackson; and most
of us first opened our eyes to the
world in small farm houses within a
few miles of Pocahontas. We all
have sunny dispositions and had
rather stay out doors than in doors
any time. One of the most i'm,
portant things we remember is chas-
ing butterflies and gathering violets
on Violet Hill just north of the dear
old Pocahontas High School. But
our parents decided that we should
not always go on in this way. We
were placed in school, some n
country schools and some at thi,
place.
Although the struggle has beer
hard and we have encountered man
p difficulties; at last these are ovel
I come, and tonight as we look ovt
the vast audience, as we are cor
I fronted with the vivid realizatio
! that we have attained the highes
honor that our school can bestow
our memory is flooded with the re
collections of early childhood.
AS we glance hack through
number of years, we see small
brown-eyed girl slowly making he
way to school for the first time
through the cold Indiana weather
This girl was born in Russelville,
Indiana, IN 1891. After seven yeart
at this place she moved to Swazze,
Ind, where she attended the pub
lie schools for four years. In the
city of Anderson she began heI
high school career. Later she at
tended the Depew Academy at Green
, Castle, and from there came tc
Pocahontas on the sixteenth day OF
last September and entered h
} PocahontaS High School on the fol
lowing Monday. She soon became
acquainted with all the girls, and
also boys and is now one OF the
Seniors. This girl we know as
Elizabeth Jackson.

Once upon time, when the world
was yet young, young man was
Strolling along the seashore, gazing
far out over the emerald waves. As
he thus gazed his attention was d.
rected to a small boy, seated in the
sand. The boy seemed to delight
in Filling his little hands with the
cool sand and letting the grains slip
through his fingers. The young
man turned and mused halfaloud.
''Many do with opportunities as
children do at the Seashore. They
ill their hands with opportunities
and let them all slip through their
fingers until they are all gone and
bopeIessly lost"

gives us opportunities. Among the

You have your own special wOr k

success than James A. Garfield,

The golden opportunity is never
offered twice. Sieze then the hour
when fortune smiles and duty points
the way. Emerson says: "The
world is no longer clay, but iron IN
the hands of its makers, and men
have got to hammer out place for
themselves by steady and rugged
blows"
There is a legend told by ouI
sires, of au artist who bad long
sought for piece of sandal-wood,
out of which to carve a Madonna
He was ready to give up in despair,
leaving the vision of his life un.
realized, when in dream he wa:
hidden to carve his Madonna from
piece of oak wood. He obeyed
and produced masterpiece from
log of common frewood. Many OF
us lose great opportunities In life
by waiting to find sandal-wood for
our carvings, when they really lie
hidden in the common logs that we
burn. Many lives, from the cradle
to the grave become barren waste,
all because he who ekes out this
kind of a miserable exlstance fails
to exercise his intellect that he may
grasp the opportunities which God
places in his way and thus renders
not only hs life happy but all those
with whom he comes in contact as
well, and carve for himself an en-
during name and fame.
The greatest ACHIEVEMENTS of the
world which are recorded on the
gilded pages of history, in every
age, have found their birth in the
opportunity presented those who
have wrought them. There is no
use wandering away into a dreamy
distance to find fame and fortune.

Friends, Teachers and Classmates:

Friends, Teachers and Classmates:
The class has seen mt to assign me
the most difficult task of all, for ev-
cry one knows how sad it is to say
goodbye.
But before giving utterance to
these last and saddest of words, l
wish to give brief sketch of my
school days, every one of which has
been spent in the dear, good schools
of Pocahontas.
Less than eight years ago | en-
tered the primary department of the
public schools of Pocahontas. Since
that time, with the exception of
twenty.one days, | have been on
hand at roll call, ready to take a
seat with my classmates to battle
with the problems of the day. |

you as one of the pupils of the Pc.
cahontas High School who has at
tanned the highest honors that insti-
tuition bestows,
1t has ever been my fondest hope
to be accomplished, for without this
great achievement there is nothing.
No matter how small or how great

be accomplished before it can be

tainments cannot b counted.
weighed, or measured, for we are
judged according to what we can do,
and we do no more than we are able
to finish. Then, if we would be
useful to the world and make the
world useful to us, it necessitates
our accomplishing things while cir
cumstances permit. | am sure there
is not person here who does not
possess, in some degree, a desire for
accomplishment. We know that if
we would rank high in this world of
ours, our desires must be great.
People are, in a large measure, what
their desires are. If we do not de-
sire much, doubtless the world will
not recognize us, but if we have
great desires there is a chance for
us to be great. In my opinion, we
do an injustice to ourselves aud to
our country when we fail to CRAFTY
our desires for high and noble at
tainments, for in these days we can
not value them too highly, since Ou
happiness depends so much upon
them. While it Is perfectly natural
to desire to be highly cultured,
neither the desire nor the satisfying
of that desire is the greatest thing,
but the sweet consolation of know.

something is one of the sweetest ties
Of human effection. How much it
means to us to be able to say that we
have finished something. What a
sweet consolation to know we, have

The time is now here when it is
to our benefit to rank high in educa.
tion, if we would make showing
in this land of ours. But we should
not educate for the simple purpose
