BRIEF IN SHOE
MACHINERY CASE
Solicitor General Bullitt Appeals the
Case to the Supreme
Court.
VIOLATION IS CHARGED

In brief filed in the Supreme Court
in the United Shoe Machinery case, which
has been appealed by the Government
from the Judgment of the United States
District Court for the District of Massa-
chusetts, Solicitor General Bullitt con-
tends that the Shoe Machinery Company
violated the Sherman antitrust law
when three groups of the defendants
combined into one group under the name
OF the United Shoe Machinery Company.
The government contends that the in
dividual defendants. Sidney W. winslow,
Edward P Hurd, George ". Brown,
William Barbour, and Elmer P. Howe,
are charged with the commission of the
acts in question and not the corporation
known as the United Shoe Machinery
Company. He points out the conditions
OF the trade in shoe machinery prior to
February Z, 1899. and declares that there
were twenty-four possible choices for the
selection of machinery prior to the COM
bination. Immediately following the COM
hination. the possible choices were re-
duced from twenty-four to sixteen and
subsequently by adopting the system of
tying leases the defendants reduced
the number Of possible choices of shoe
machinery to only two. The Solicitor
General points out that the combination
Of from seventy to eighty per cent of all
the shoe machinery business of the coun-
try into one hand, is in itself so great
proportion OF the entire business as to
constitute a restraint of trade contrary
to the Sherman law and in support of
this contention. he relies on the decision
Of the Supreme Court in the Standard
Oil, bath tub trust, beef trust, tobacco
trust Union Pacific, St Louis Terminal
& nd he
cases.
Governments CONVENTIONS.
The government also contends that the
system of tying leases adopted and
praCticed by the defendant is a direct
restraint of interstate commerce and is
not authorized by the patent laws of the
United States. The government insists
that the patent laws do not authorize
the form of leases imposed by the United
Shoe Machinery Company. The Solicitor
General contends that under the decision
of the Supreme Court, in the case of
Henry VS.. Dick. known as the multigraph
case, that the patent laws protected only
contracts which limited the licensee as
to the supplies used in direct connection
with the patented machine. Solicitor
General Bulltt holds that the doctrine
laid down in the Dick case cannot be ex-
tended to include conditions bearing no
direct relation to the operation of the
patented machine
United States District Judge Putnam. in
the District Court for the District of
Massachusetts,, sustained demurrers to
al three counts in the indictments re-
turned against Sidney W. winslow and
his four associates, holding that the first
two counts did not state a case within
the meaning Of the antitrust act, and
mat the third count was bad for dupliclty
and repugnancy. The government under
me commercial appeals act could only
appeal from the judgment of the court
as 10 the first and second counts. and as
to these writ OF error was taken.

Spirit of Liberty

Liberty is the result of war-not, as
many suppose, of the absence of law
Joseph Alden.
The spirit of liberty is not, as null
titudes imagine, jealousy of our
particular rights, but respect for the
rights of Understanding.
There are two freedoms, the false,
where one is free to do what he likes,
and the true, where he is free to do
what he ought.-Charles Kingsley.
The only liberty that is valuable is a
liberty connected with order; that not
only exists with order and virtue, but
which can not exist at all without
them.-Edmund Burke.
There is no liberty to men in whom
ignorance predominates over knowl-
edge; there is no liberty to men who
know not how to govern themselves
H. w. Beecher.
Political or civil liberty is no other
than natural liberty, so far restrained
as is necessary and expedent for the
general advantage of the public =
Blackstone
No free government or the blessing
of liberty can be preserved by any
people but by firm adherence to
justice, moderation temperance. fru-
gality and virtue, and by a frequent
recurrence to fundamental principles
Patrick Henry.

Likes Prohibitory Law

Whether or not the lid was on so
tight that it was difficult to get
drink during the reunion, it is evident
that one veteran, Tennessean at that,
failed to find any, judging from let
ter received yesterday by the mayor
from G. R. Woodland, at Lebanon,
Tennessee, as follows:
During the Confederate reunion in
your town, one of our townsmen was
a visitor there. He states that he was
not allowed to drink whisky in any
place where drinks of any kind are
sold. If this is your city law, and
you have a copy available I would ap-
preciate same. Further, do you al
low whisky to be kept or stored in
the places where drinks are sold? Has
your law been declared valid?"-Ma-
con, Georgia, Telegraph.

THE WORLD ARENA

The National Society for the Pre-

land) during the year recently ended
investigated 54I18 complaints, involv-
ing 154,307 children. The director of
the society declares that it is not an
exaggerated estimate that 90 per cent
of the cases of neglect inquired into
were due to the habit of excessive
drinking on the part of one or both
parents.
o
1t is understood that the anti-treat-
ing bill recently promised by Mr..
Whitney, Premier of Ontario, will be
the most drastic legislation regarding
liquor ever introduced in Canada. 1t
is intended thoroughly to eliminate the
treating system. The law will pro-
vide heavy fines for the hotel-keeper
and bartender, as we'll as the treater
and treated, while any hotel-keeper
convicted for third time of allowing
anyone to buy drink for another
will lose his license.

AMONG

Byers, commissioner OF the depart
ment of charities and corrections,
show that the annual increase in the
insane population of New Jersey
amounts to about 500. For several
years the capacity of the state and
county institutions for the insane has
been overtaxed, and there is no pros
pect of immediate relief from this
condition Mr. Byers found this con-
dtion existing in one of the worst
saloon-rdden states in the nation. Is
there any connection?
Rev. A. c. Sheppard, d. D., presi-
dent of the Anti-Saloon League of
South Dakota, has removed to Cali
fornia for the benefit of his wife's
health His successor has not been
chosen.
Citizens of Canova, South Dakota,
have raised a fund of $Ioo to be used
as a reward for evidence on which to
base warrant for the arrest of those
violating the liquor and other laws.
This spirit of the Canovans is an ex-
cellent one and should be initiated by
good people everywhere.
One of the stiffest sentences ever
imposed on a Kansas jointist was that
given the other day to John F. Aus
tin, convicted of selling beer in Wich-
tia. One year in Jail and fine of
$1,000 was assessed against him, and
inasmuch as Austin has no money he
will be compelled to remain in jail
for six years. An offer was made to
the convicted man that he would be
released on parole if he would sign a
bond never to sell liquor in Kansas
again This he refused to do, saying
he would rot in jail before he would
sign such bond The attorney gen
eral has decided to let him rot.
\ man msnamed Jesus Jaremillo,
and another named Dick Craft, were

seems, was a confirmed violator, was
sent to the penitentiary for five years.

as bad sort of place!

Warning.

The department of Agriculture
at Washington sends warning to
all who have occasion to buy or
handle sacks that contained pota-
toes shipped to this country from
foreign countries.
Careful investigation has prov
en- that several potato diseases,
new to this country, may be car
ried by bags or sacks that have
come in contact with foreign po-
tatoes. If, for any reason, these
sacks must be bought or used,
you are cautioned to insist that
the dealer guarantee that the
sacks have been sterilized. This
can be done by boiling them for
several hours. There seems to
be coniderable trade in these for
eign sacks. n@

Pruning Dormant Trees.

State Zoologist, H. A. Surface,
receives many requests for infor-
nation concerning pruning, and
gives the following advice:
Trees can be pruned at any
time of year, but severe pruning,
should be done when the trees
are dormant. A rule that can be
taken as fundamental it to prune
when the trees are in leaf to
check further growth, and prune
when they are leafess to promote
more growth.
In pruning, all dead and decay
ing limbs should be cut away,
and those limbs which are inter-
fering or overlapping and inter-
twining should be cut out. Those
which are diseased with canker
knots, black knot and similar
pests should be cut out an d
promptly burned; while thos e
which have died by blight should
especially be gathered and burn
ed. 1t is not necessary to gather
and burn branches which are in
tested with San Jose scale or 9TH
er scale insects, as these pests
will die soon after the limbs are
cut off, and will not spread to the
trees from fallen limbs.
The operator should not hesi-
tate to cut out the tops of tall
trees and bring them down. The
pruning should be directed TO-
ward opening the centre of the
tree top. Trees should be prun-
ed now to make them low-headed
and spreading. Central upright
stems that seem to rise like the
trunk of pine tree should be cut
out of fruit trees, to get them as
low as possible.
When it comes to a choice be-
tween low branches and higher
branches, the lower ones should
be saved. The short twigs or
fruit spurs on the branches, and
many of the water sprouts should
be saved to bear fruit instead of
cleaning them all off, and thus
ridding the tree of much of its
fruit t-bearing area.
Persons interested in pruning
should attend the demonstrations
being given in all of the counties
of Pennsylvania by the demon
strators of the Division of Zoo
logy, of the Department of Agri-
culture. There the work is done
correctly. The demonstrat o r S
show how to prune limbs without
splitting them, and how to paint
stubs to prevent decay which
would result in holes in the trees.

Why the Difference?

Mexico is as old, in point of
settlement, as the United States.
In the United States we find very
few who cannot read and write,
or who are so ignorant that they
are a menace to constitutional
government. Of Mexico it is said
that but one in ten of the popu-
lation can read, or is sufi-
GENTLY civilized to be trusted
with the protection of other mems
lives and property. Why this
difference on American soil.
Both nations have virtually the
same form of government. Both
nations, had they chosen, were
open at their birth, to equally
good advantages. The intellects
of the founders were, no doubt
of equal calibre. What, then,
made one of them the most intel
ligent nation on earth, and the
other, with few exceptions, the
lowest? We cannot lay the blame
on the climate, for Mexico, to any
great extent, is not, a torrid land
The high altitude of most of it
gives it a fine climate. The two
nations differ only in religion.
This country was founded on the
principle that every man should
be permitted to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience, and he chose Protes-
tantism. Although priest-ridden
peoples did most of the early ex-
ploring and missionary work a.
mong the Indian natives, their
power to hold the country was
soon wrested from them by the
superiority of the Protestant
faith. On the other hand Mexico
chose to remain under the sway
of a religion that cannot succeed
except by keeping the masses in
ignorance and bondage to III e
priests.
To the Protestant Churches of
the United States, and their off
spring, the free school system, is
due all the credit for making the
difference between the civiliza-
ton of the United States and
Mexico. All power to the hands
that are upholding that religion,
and may it's remaining foe, the
rum traffic, speedily receive its
death blow.
