This meeting was participated in by

night an invitation was given those

church as a result of the continued
manifestation of interest on the part
of the lingering crowd.
There is no disputing the fact that
this meeting has made very marked
effect on the community, and Rev

Washington, April 15.-The ques-
ton of indemnity for the loss OF
<American life and property at Douglas
Resulting from the battle at Aqua
Prieta has not been raised. 1t is
matter for the future, it is pointed out
The pressing need now is to see that
no American settlement is exposed to
danger in the future from the federal
or rebel bullets.
Intricate Problem.
The White House announced assur-
ances received from the leader Of the
insurrectos at Auga Prieta that the
incidents of Wednesday, which result
ed in the killing of several Americans
and the wounding of others would
not be repeated.
The disposition of the fifty Mexican
federals who surrendered at the bat
tie at Aqua Prieta and are "in charge
of the American forces at Douglas
presents an intricate problem to the
government. The general impression
is that there is no statute unde
which the United States can hold th'
soldiers responsible, especially Il
view of the fact that this country doe
net recognize the existence of stat
yof war in Mexico.

antiquity of Tobacco.

idea that tobacco has only been
known in Europe since the discov-
cry Gf America, is SiHcorrect. Ia
fact Ahe Modes aud RRsians, a long
time before our era, smoked mar

"A RhiloIogist has suggested that the
Greeks and Romans smoked tocacoO,
at least in t3eir colonies. In the

Annexation of Canada.

President Taft need not have
been at the trouble of giving assu-
rance that his reciprocity arrange
ment with Canada is not part of
any plot for canadian annexation.
The vague notion on this side of the
border, that Canadians are keen for
annexation is without the slightest
basis in fact. Nothing could in all
probability be more abhorrent to
the great mass of them. 1t is
doubtful if a thousand votes for an.
nexation could be got in all Canada.

Trsns-MiSsouri Decision Recalled.

Trans-MiSsouri Decision Recalled.
The approach of the time for rem.
dering decisions in the big anti
trust suits makes it interesting to
90 back to the Supreme Court de-
cision in the trans-Missouri case to
see what view was then taken of
the Sherman antitrust law The
three paragraphs quoted below
show how the court stood at that
time:
when. therefore, the body of an
act Pronounces as illegal every con-
tract or combination in restraint Of
trade or commerce among the sew
eral States, ETC., the plain and or
binary meaning of such language is
not limited to that of contract
alone which is in unreasonable re-
straint of trade, but all contracts
are included in such manner, and
no exception of limitation can be
added without placing in the act
that which has been omitted by
Congress"
"The conclusion which we have
drawn from the examination above
made into the question before US is
that the antitrust act applies to
railroads, and that it renders illegal
all agreements which are in re-
straint of trade or commerce as we
have above defined that expression
and the question then arises wheth-
er the agreement before US is of
that nature"
For these reasons the suit of the
Government can be maintained
without proof of the allegation
that the agreement was entered in
to for the purpose of restraining
trade or commerce, or for main
taining rates above what was reaS'
enable. The necessary effect of thu
agreement is to restrain trade O
ICommerce 40 matter what the in
| tent was On the part of those VIII
signed it" Financial America.

Office Hints.

Never send articles for publica-
ton without giving thy name, for
thy name often secures publication
of worthless article.
Thou sbouldst not rap at the door
of a printing office, for the one that
heareth the rap sneereth in his
sleeves and loseth time.
Thou shouldst never read the
copy on the printers case or sharp
and hooked container thereof, or he
may knock you down.
Never inquire of the editor the,
news, for behold it is his business
to give it to thee at the appointed
time without asking for it.
| 1t is not right that thou shouldSt
| ask him who is the author of an
article, for it is his duty to keep
such things to himself.
When thou dost enter his Office
take heed to thyself that thou dost
not look at what may not concern
thee, for that is not meet in the
sight of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet for it is not ready to meet
thine eye that thou mayest under,
stand.
Prefer thine own town paper &c
any other, and if thou hast not al
ready done so, subscribe for it i'm
mediately. Pay for it in advance
