BOY AND JUICY MELON
IN CLOSE CORPORATION
Grocer and Policeman Do the Sep
aration Act, Judge Aukam
Does the Rest.

Edward Parker, a cOlored youth from
North Carolina, saw a watermelon in
front of John Enders' grocery Saturday.
It is late for watermelons and perhaps
that is why Edward stood looking long
and hard at the delicious specimen which
lay there so innocently on the bricks in
front of the store.
He looked and looked and looked. and
being the only one who was looking.
Edward just naturally picked up that
watermelon. He took it to a corner OF
Knox'S court.
Grocer Put Wise.
Shortly afterward the groceryman came
out of his front door with his hands in
his white apron pockets. He missed his
fine watermelon A little boy playing
marbles all by himself said:
"Hey. mister. a colored Teller took that
melon up the alley"
The sroceryman found policeman and
together they went up the alley. Edward
Parker did not see them coming because
his face was buried completely in the
melon. which he had broken open and
was now devouring in large, luscious
mouthfuls.
Policeman Was Cruel.
He didn't even finish eating the first
half The policeman was mean enough
to lock Edward UP without letting him
have the melon. This morning he told
Judge Aukam the melon had been stolen
by some one else and sold to him. How
means thirty days at Occoquan.

mortal such restraint as this has been

which but for such an agreement would

eliminated from its operation those harm

out Of lawful contracts which are made
for an entirely different purpose from
that Of controlling prices or maintaining

and which have always been recognized
as properly enforceable by courts of both

spite OF all the denunciations that We
have heard of the decisions of the SUI
preme Court in the Standard oil ami To-
bacco cases there is not one who has
criticised them that can formulate a
contract in restraint of trade that ought

come within il under the decision of the
Supreme Court.
1t is said that the Supreme Court had
read something into the statute that was
not there before: that it has inserted the
word reasonable before restraints OF
trade. when the same court had said that
this could not be properly done. because
Congress had evidently not intended to
include such limiting word in the statute.
This Is not fair to the court. 1t
il true that the court. in the early
days of the construction OF the statute.
had said that it could not limit the
statute In effect by excluding from it's
operation what was deemed reasonable at
common law But as other cases arose
1t found 1t necessary to make exceptions
to the literal operation Of the words re
stratnt OF trade. and it did so by except
ing what was minor. or incidental, or in
direct. and including only those cases
where the chief object of the contract or
combination was the restraint. In doing
so the court said that il must give the
statute reasonable construction and
not one leading to absurd or ridiculous
results. In the last two cases the court
did not change the substance of the rea-
soning and scope of the previous deci-
sions. but only treated the exceptions
previously termed incidental and indi-
rect as excluded from the operation of
the statute in the light of reason-i e., in
conformity to the evil sought to be reach

be drawn between good trusts and

this long period has been served by
only five bishops; rather remarka-

priest is seldom elevated to the bish-

And, strange to say, Tuesdays i'm

the first ceremony of the kind ever
held in Mississippi. The first bishop
of the diocese, the Rt. Rev. John j.

While on a visit to that historic little
town he was stricken with the chol-

body was inferred in the Cathedral in
Baltimore.
Right Rev. ]. o. Van de Velde, the
second bishop of Natchez, died of
yellow fever November 13, 1856. His
body was deposited in a vault beneath
the high altar of the Cathedral until
1874, when it was taken to Florissantl

CORPORATIONS.

The greatest danger menacing
Republican institutions today is
the overbalancing control of city,
state and national legislation by
the wrongful use of the wealth
and power of public service, in
dustrial and financial corpora
tions. The influence which rules
may be traced to the close asso-
citation of political and corporate
power. 1t is a complete system.
1t defrauds the people. defeats
legislation in the public interests
and passes laws for the special
interests. The only power that
can save the government from
these corrupting interests is di-
rect nominations. the initiative
and the referendum and the re-
call. They are all expressions of
the citizens desire to wresS leg
islation from corporate control
and restore it to the people,

STRIKES.

The impression of the preva-
lence of strikes is exaggerated.
Most persons fail to recognize
that they are exceptional. The
average workingman loses less
than one day year in this way.
A strike lasts just twenty-three
days on the average, and the av-
erage employer carries on his
business just thirty years with
out strike. 1t can no more be
said that labor unions desire
strikes because they are ready
for them than that the United
States wants war because it has
