GETTING RIGHT.

1t is reported from Washington that
the bin cndeavoring to define the de-
batable ground around the Sherman
antitrust law will be dropped by con
press with the knowledge and consent
OF the president. This is as it should
be- When the law WAS first proposed
The Tribune pointed out that any at"
tempt to define unrea sonable restraints
OF trade would weaken rather than
strengthen the Sherman law. For
twenty years the supreme court has
been interpreting this law and supply
ing definitions Ten years ago it was
thought that the law was dead letter;
that it had no genuine power to rcgu-
late monopoly or suppress restraints
Of trade. Since that time most of the
important decisions under the law have
been rendered, and in almost every in
stance the Sherman law has not been
found wanting. In fact, the country
has been amazed Mt the potency of the
law. and has begun TO think that those
men who framed it we've among the
wisest statesmen Of their age
A single case in which the supreme
court evolved its now famous rule OF
reason led many people to suppose
that the antitrust law had been rem
dered worthless. Instantly there arose
a demand that the Sherman law should
be amended, that congress should tell
Just what were and what were not I'M
reasonable restraints OF trade, and
thus force the supreme court to
abandon its frule Of reason The
president and congress undertook the
task, and it has proved beyond their
strength. Apparently they have learned,
what was clear to many from the start,
that any definitions which they might
make ultimately would be defined by
the supreme court. That tribunal
would be compelled TO define the def
nitions. The result would be con-
fusion. Any changes would produce an
uncertainty which would be welcomed
by law-defying interests. Moreover, the
potency of the Sherman law has not yet
been fully revealed. AS the years pass
the supreme court will continue to
strengthen the law.
If it is true that the president has
retired from his unwise position, the
country has reason for congratulahon

FIGHT ON ARISTOCRACY.

David Lloyd George, chancellor of the
British exIequer, is engaged IN a bit
ter controversy with the aristocracy OF
the country. Lloyd-George is democrat
ic to the core and would not only abol-
ish the house of lords, but compel the
parcelling ont of the great landed es-
tates. He is so far in advance Of his
own party on these questions that he
comes in for much abuse in the Liberal
press as well as the organs of the oppo-
sition.
Tt will probably be many, many years
before the British lords are put upon a
level with the commoners, although
Chancellor Lloyd-George is not alone
in his opinion that a change is at hand,
"Little Tommy dearly loves a lord, -
said Byron OF Thomas Moore. A large
share of the English people entertain
the same sentiments attributed to the
Irish poet. If they do not actually
love the lords, they at least entertain a
very great respect for the wearers of
titles.
Just at the present moment the war
Of Lloyd.George with the nobility of
England is a side issue. The attention
Of all classes of people IS engrossed
with the fight over homo rule in par
lament. If the Irish NatioDalists win
the Liberal party may continue in
power and some Of the chanceDor's re-
form measures he put through. If home
rule is defeated the Liberals will lose
their hold upon the government and
democratic ideas will be relegated far
TO the rear. Lloyd-George, however, will
go down fighting.

The passing of the humble priest re-
calls the fact that "Peace hath her
victories no less renowned than war.
Father Dorney's calling was essentially
peaceful, but his victories were many
and notable. The extent Of his power
and influence NAV be measured to some
extent by his title, liking Of tho stock

brawls or in the marts Of trade, but
was bestowed for loving kindness In
ministering to the spiritual and tenn

difference in creed did not detract from
his standing. The reason is given by
one Of his admirers:
''If you want a battle, just say some
thing against Father Dorney. and you'll
get fight in plenty all the way from
kids to grandfathers. No hour was ever
too long or too dark or too cold or the
roads too rough TO stop Father Dorney
