aries paid by different districts.
The State Of Delaware should
demand only trained teachers for
each an devery one O: her schools
and she should supply the requi
sites to meet her own demands.
The system of schools should
be so regulated that every school
within the State should cores
pond exactly in matters of salary,
examination Of teachers, number
Of school days, holidays, etc.
In this day, the children who, at
present, may live in a district
which pays the lowest salary, may
not suffer the consequences OF
living within that district. 1t may
be impossible to keep the boys
and girls who are fitted for the
high schools from going to the
towns, because parents are becom-
! ing more and more willing to
! make every sacrifice that their
children may receive such bene-
| fits, but if the confidence of the
people in the rural schools shall
not languish and die the Board of
| Education must very shortly put
into operation such measures as
shall make those schools a stand
ard of efficiency and suhlciency in
the place they propose to fill.
| There must be more of saneness
in provisions and cor ditions, that
a child may not be dependent up
on its environment for the stand
ard of the school which it shall at
tend, but be assured of a good
school, wherever he may live.
There is not, at present, proper
training for the teacher, and too
much is expected of her. While
the pupils may need different
form and she may know it, she
must of necessity restrict herself.
| CONSOLIDATION ADVO-
| IA Ell.
The advantages OF the consoli-
dated school are wonderful. The
+ achers would rot then be 50
..;me-pressed, work could be di-
l;ued and they could afford to
specialize and better equip them
selves.
The idea may sound imprac.i-
cable at first, but it simply needs
the daring to start, and we should
very soon wonder at Our previous
delay.
The outlying districts, or a rea-
sonable part of each one should
be combined with the schools OF
each town. The majority of child
rem who attend the schools about
| Newark could just as easily walk
into Newark and the increased
taxes would furnish the Newark
| school with additional teachers
and equipment.
Beyond these, a consolidation
could occur and in the next ih-
stance SO closely do our towns liz
to each other, we could combine
with another town, and the bug
bear of transportation would re
duce surprisingly and could wei
afford to be met when the result

IN WHICH TO
DISSOLVE ITSELF
MONOPOLY IN RESTRAINT
Of Trade is What U. S. Supreme
Court Holds Standard Oil Co.
Tremendous Struggle Won

Washington, May l6.-The
Standard Oil Company, of New
Jersey, and its nineteen subsidiary
corporations were declared by the
supreme court of the United
States to be a conspiracy and a
combination in restraint Of trade.
1t also was held to be monopoliz-
ing interstate commerce in viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust
law. The dissolution of the COM
bination was ordered to take
place within six months.
Thus ended the tremendous
struggle on the part of the gov
eminent to put down, by authori-
ty of law, a combination which
it claimed was a menace to the
industrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country.
AT the same time the court in
terpreted the Sherman antitrust
law so as to limit the application
to acts of undue" restraint of
trade and not every" restraint of
trade. 1t was on this point that
the only discordant note was
heard in the court. Justice Har-
Ian disseutcd, claiming that cases
already decided by the court had
determined once for all that the
word "undue" or unreasonable"
Or similar words, were not in the
statute. He declared that the
reasoning of the court in arriving
at its finding was in effect legis-
Iation which belonged in every
instance to congress and not to
he courts.
Ever since the decree in this
,ase IN the lower court the United
States circuit court of the eastern
district of Missouri was announc-
ID, hope has been expressed by
he business world" that the
aw would be modified so as not
o interfere with what was desig-
lated an honest business. That

TO MAKfefsI IISKY BUT
MOT FOR SALE

Lynohburg, 49,, May 16.-The
Jack Daniel Distillery at this
p!sc,, after long season of idleness
because of the law prohibiting The
MAJ ufGcture of liauor in Tennessee,
will staff today. There will be no vi
olation of the manufacturers law,
however, Mr.. Lem Motlow, manager,
was very explicit in stating this morn
ing, as no whisky will be made fol- pur-
poses of sale, which is what the law
prohibits.
What whisky the company makes
Of its own will be simply stored in the
government bonded warehouse, where
it is allowed by law to remain eight
years, and for the neighbors the latter
somewhat on the principle of a grist
mill, the neighbors furnighing their
own grain. The distillery, it is said,
will run full capacity while the supply
of grain holds out.
Deputy Collector Walker is expect
ed here today for the starting of the
plant. The Jack Daniel plant is one
of the largest in the state and as re-
suit of its idleness, it is said a quantity
of grain has accumulated here, there
being no shipping facilities. 1t is said
Mr., Motlow will extend the privilege
accorded his neighhors to his friends
over the state. He is very emphatic
though, in announcing that no whisky
will be made fo., sale.

Washington, May 16-Attorney
General Wickersham may consid-

some of the officials of the gov

What position the attorney
General will take is not known.
1t is said that in evert the oil

The record of hits was IL for
Johnson City and 4 for Union Col

The game yesterday showed
the merit of our team, for the
Union College team is considered
an excellent one. They have
beaten all the Blue Grass League
teams, and only Monday they
beat Milligan College; in short,
this is their first defeat this sea-

of the Johnson City players.
Three of the Union College play
ers have already signed with the

LABOR LEADERS
DEFENDANTS IN
ANOTHER CONTEMPT CASE
Supreme Court of District of Co
lumhia Institutes Proceedings
on Its Own Initiative

Washington, May 16.--The supreme
court of the District of Go lumbia, on
its initiative, today instituted proceed
ings for alleged contempt against Sam
uel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, of the American Federation
OF Labor.
The sentences of imprisonment i'm
posed upon these men by this court
were yesterday revoked by the United
States supreme court and the case re-
manded to the district supreme court.
Mr.. Gompers when told of the action
of the district court said
Justice Wright can go Just as far as
he likes. He will find we are not Iun-
ming away, not even from him."
The Unitsd States Supreme court in
setting aside the sentences of impris-
onment held that the case on whiah

civil contempt against the Buck1
Stove & Range Co. and that the of
,ense was punishable only by fine to
be recovered by the wronged corpora
lion.
Justice Lamar in handing down the
opinion called attention. to the fact,
however, that if the lower court felt
aggrieved it could still bring criminal
contempt proceedings in the premises
and inflict Jail sentence.
The lower court was quick to take
advantage of the opportunity afforded
TO reopen the case. AS the labor dis
pute which brought the case into court
had ended, it was presumed the mat
Ter would be allowed to drop.

MRS. MATTHEWS
PUPILS DO WELL
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
Well Pleased with Musical Mem
befs Rendered and the Read
ings of Mrs. Will Johnson

1t would have been impoSsi ole for q
more select and representative gather
ing Of che citizens of Johnson City to
have gotten together, than attended
the musical recital Of the pupils Of Mrs.
Ella G. Matthews at the Christian
Church last ni2ht. Musical, socia |
business and OCCASIONAL circle were
represented b. Leaders OF each, and yet
we will! rot vcature to say that the per-
formers were more honored by their
hearers, than the audience was in Il @
privilege of hearing the program.
That Mrs. Matthews is a true artist
has long been kIown;an and to-day every
one is more sincere in that belief. Her
overture ON the organ was a gem, not
only in its selection, but in the rendi-
ton. II may have been quite long:
we do not rememb Der. We only know
it seemed too short TO us. The two
violin solos of Mrs. S. +. Miller were
as much as if we should write page.
Mrs. Lambs vocal solo was we'll re.
cieved Mrs. Will Johnson's readings
accom- panied by Mrs. Miller and Mrs.
Matthews, were feature of the en-
teriainlnent, and although encored,
she did not respond. Mrs. Johnson
has few equals in this section of the
country ia her art. -
Considering Mrs. Matthew'S pupils
from a standpoint of talent exhibited,
we should award the prizes, in the or
der named, to Miss Marion Bowman,
Miss Nellie Dosser, Miss Margaret
Dosser, Miss Eleanor EXtim, Miss
Annie Hunt, Miss Mabel GlldersleeVe,
Miss Nell Hunter. 1t will of course
be understood that this is only the
opinion of one critic-who, in a meas
ure, may have been influenced by the |

ton and different views will not odly

section of the opinion calling for
the use of the rule of reason in
applying the law is regarded in
many quarters as an answer to
the prayers of the /" business
world"
The opinion of the court was
announced by Chief Justice White.
In printed form it contained more
than 10000 words. For nearly
an hour the chief justice discuss
ed the case from the bench, going
over most of the points IN the
printed opinion, but not once re-
ferring to it to refresh his memo
ry. Before him sat a distinguish
ed audience Of the most famous
men of the country.
Senators and' representatives left
their respective chambers in the
capitol to listen to the epoch-making
decision of the court. Most eager
to hear were Acknowledgement
Wickersham and Frank B. Kellogg,
special counsel for the government,
who had conducted the great fight
against the Standard Oil. None of
the brilliant array of counsel for the
corporations or individual defend
ants were present in the court dur
ing the reading of the opinion. To-
day, as on previous decision days for
months past, rival broker agents
with messengers in line to the vari-
Gus telephone and telegraph instru-
ments throughout the capitol were
on hand, but to their dismay the an
of the decision was not
begun until an hour after the closing
Of the stock markets.
Many expected that the decision
of the court in the dissolution suit
against the tobacco corporation
would be handed down Immediately
after the decision in the Standard
Oil case. This was not done, how
ever, but the decision is expected en-
May 90, the last decision day of the
court unit! next October.
The cpiaion OF the court today
was construed to mean that the to-
oacco case, like every other case in
which restraints of trade are alleged
must be subjected to the new test
If the restraint as laid down in the
Standard Oil decision.
By far the greater portion of the
opinion of the chief justice was de-
'oted to the justification of the
:ourt in requiring that the rule of
eason" be applied to restraints of
rade before they were held to be
violations OF the Sherman antitrust
aw. The court found this justifca-
ion in the common law of the fore
athers and in the general law of the
ountry at the time the Sherman
nti-trust law was passed. In short,
he court held that the technical
words of the statute were to be given
he meaning which those words had :
I common law and in the law of
