THE DECISION IS

Standard Oil Decision Sole

President Taft is Disappointed
at Decision That Really
Changes Nothing
DECISION CRITICISED

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Govern.
mental Observation-Disclosures, ex.
ecutive and judicial-gave over the
greater part of today to discussion
of the supreme courts disposition of
the Standard Oil case.
While there was qualification in ad-
mlnlStratlOn circles over the order for
the dissolution of the corporation
which had been declared "an unreas.
enable combination and monopoly in
restraint of trade, there unquestiOna-
bly, was misgiving as to the interpre-
taton of the antitrust law giving
to courts the right to determine
whether monopoly was reasonable"
and declaring reasonable monopo-
ly not to be in contravention of the
statute.
Taft Disappointed.
President Taft, who a little more
than year ago, in special mes
sage to congress, said that under SUI
preme court precedents, there could
he no such things as reasonable
and unreasonable" restraint of trade,
or in other words, good trusts" and
bad trusts" was said to have been
rather disappointed that the court
should have seen fit to reverse itself
in this important matter.
President Taft's message was free.

scope of the antitrust law to the
view expressed by Associate Justice
Harlan in his dissenting opinion yes

ed in his statement to the court fol,
lowing the handing down of the ma.
jority opinion by Chief Justice White.
Harlan Critical.
Justice Harlan held that his broth
er judges had no right to ursup the
functions of the legislative branch of
the government by writing into the
statute a differentiation between "rea-
sonable" and unreasonable"
He declared that congress had re-
sisted all appeals so to amend the
act and that there was every reason
to believe such an amendment never
could be put through the legislative
branch.
In these circumstances and and in
their extremity, great aggregations of
wealth applied to the court in an eff
fort to have it construe the law in
a way that would be flat reversal
of what it had held on two previous
occasions.
Justice Harlan declined to be a par
ty to such a reversal and hence his
dissenting opinion. He denounced as
the most alarming tendency of the
day" the tendency of judicial legis-
lation Men of power. he said, al

THE WEEKLY LUNCHEON
Chamber of Commerce Will Assist
Westport Road. Refuses to Meddle
in Affairs of Cosmopolis

At the weekly luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, S. X.
Bowes presided in the absence Of
President Rupert. A good attendance
was had and several matters of i'm
portance discussed. r. B. Wiseman
asked the chamber to assist in having
the road to WestpOrt completed, and
the following committee was appoint
ed to take the matter up with the
county commissioners: Clyde David
son. Geo. j. Wolff and Roy G. Keagy.
A letter was read and filed from
Secretary Barnes, calling attention to
the coming meeting of the Southwest
Washington Development Association
at Chehalis, and urging large attend
ance from Aberdeen.
The matter of improving the road
on the south side from the Hulburt
mill to the waterworks was referred
to the committee on municipal affairs
whose members are: f. c. Finch, J.
J. Carney, T. B. Bruener, J. w. Parks,
and A. II. Griffin.
Rudolph Distler headed a delegation
from Cosmopolis, which asked the
chamber to assist in compelling the
Grays Harbor Commercial Co. to
change its methods of dealing with
its employees. The chamber decided
that the matter was entirely beyond
its jurisdiction, and refused to take
any action. It was recalled that a
few years ago, Distler had hyptonized
the executive committe of the cham
Der into adopting resolution con-
demning the Commercial company's
mess house, that was afterwards de-
nounced as absurd by the membership
of the chamber

FISHES ON SUNDAY
Former North Freedom
Pastor Has a Unique Ex-
perience at Viroqua.

1t is not often that minister ven-
Gures to fish on Sunday. Rev. But
ters, formerly pastor of the Methodist
church at North Freedom and chap
iain in the Sranish-American war,
had an experience the other day that
is worth relating. The incident is
told in the Viroqua Censor as follows:
A minister who goes out fishing on
Sunday may rightly be classed as a
backslideT, and it is with no little re-
gret that the Censor records this sta
tus of Rev. G. E. Buffers, who recent
ly resigned his pastorate of the Metho-
dist church to accept superintendency
of the county asylum. Mr.. Buffers
and others on his staff spent all last
Sunday fishing-for "sucker" on the
pump rod to the deep well that fur
nishes water supply for the asylum
and grounds. They managed to catch
the object of their concern, so the fall
ing from grace seemed unavoidable.

Hooked on the Line.

Louis Keller, little lad living west
of this village had rather peculiar
experience one day last week. He
was riding on load of hay and on
the way it was necessary to pass under
a telephone wire. 1t is often the case
with boy and man it becomes neces-
sary when a button decides to part
company with pair of pants such
articles as piece of wood, nail or a
piece of binder twine makes satisfac-
tory substitute. This was case of q
simple little button hook. The con-
hector of shoe fronts no doubt knew its
business for it at once got firm hold
of the wire and as the load passed
from under it, the boy was left in sus-
pense suspended by his suspenders in
mid air but his weight brought him,
wire and all, to terra firma none the
worse for his aerial experience

August II.

Circulars are being received at the
local railway stations from the head
quarters of the respective railway
companies announcing the inaugural
tion of the new 10-cent extra fare rate
which becomes effective August II,
thereby making it necessary for con-
ductors to collect 10 cents extra when
passengers do not purchase tickets at
the railway stations.
The company has given the follow
ing instructions to conductors and
agents in Wisconsin,:
"Under the Wisconsin law effective
August II, 1911, excess train fare will
be collected between stations in Wis.,
consin-intrastate (when passenger
does not pass through any other state
enroute) as follows:
"When passengers board trains at
stations where tickets are on sale for
train taken, the train fare between
stations in Wisconsin will be ten cents
more than the ticket fare for adults
and ten cents more than the halt
ticket fare for children. Conduc-
tors yellow cash fare slips must be
issued for the full amount collected.
"The ten cents excess fare will not

Friday afternoon the car of John
Ringing, taking part in The Twin
Cities Helena tour, skidded and ran
into ditch near Ashby, Mimi. Word
of the accident was received in Fargo
by contestants in the ,300-mile grind.
Though the car is said to have been
badly damaged, it is understood that
neither Mr.. Ringing nor those in his
party suffered more than few

Great Northern Railroad, and Mr..
Ringling's two nephews.

FARMER WITH BIG JOB
Has $50 Acres of Canada
Thistles and Authorities
are After Him.

S. M. Howard, owner of a farm in
the town of Trenton, Dodge county,
was fined $5 and costs in Beaver Dam
court on charge of allowing Canada
thistles to thrive on his property.
Howard owns $50 acres of land and one
of the witnesses swore that 250 acresIof
these were covered with the thistles..
The case will be appealed to Circuit
court as Howard claims he has used all
possible effort to exterminate the
thistIes but without effect. Weed
Commissioner Derivan was instructed
to serve further notices on Howard as
the state intended to try and make him
exterminate the thistles. The progress
of this case will probably be watched
with great interest by the farmers of
this vicinity as the problem of exter-
minating the Canada thistle and quack
grass is one of the hardest propositions
before the American farmer today.

BUGLE BLOWS LAST BLAST
Camp Douglas Venture
Soon Goes to the
Bow Vows.

The Camp Douglas Bugle has been
suspended, the reason given by Editor
Fauteck being lack of support. We
rather suspected such result when
he started four months ago, but did
not want to offer any encouragement
by saying so. He says he will remain
with his plant and do job work. Not
for long, we imagine. Leaving out
the bank, which most likely gets its
printing from some outside supply
house, and the cheap guys. who deface
cent tablet of yellow paper with a
blotchy rubber stamp, he could turn
in and print up in two weeks all the
stationery the town will need for
year. Kendall keystone.

For Sauk County Old Settlers.

The Cassville index prints the fol-

be followed: Each county ought to
have an told settlers organization"
and that it should meet each year in
leafy June. Peace has her victories,
as we'll as war, and the victories of the
pioneers are as glorious as any ever
won in battle. Armies make desert
and call it peace; pioneers make the
wilderness blossom like the rose and
call it their homes.

Carriers Get Stung.

The rural mail carriers in the vicini-

they find bees and wasps In the mail
boxes along the route. They have ap-
pealed to the village paper and say
that the presence of the insects makes
it very difficult for carriers to take
mail from some of the boxes, and
patrons are asked to see that this detri-
ment to the safe delivery of the mail is
overcome by seeing that such boxes
are vacated by the bees.
