 Legislation.
MISSOURI LAW GOOD
Under Rulings Harvester Trust Es- cnpes Paying 5000 Fine in kcn- lucky, But Must Pay S2a,OW
 to Missouri and Quit State.

Washington, June S.-Thc harvester trust won and lost today through de cjsions rendered by the supreme court. It recovered fines imposed in Kentucky under the state antitrust laws by having those laws set aside, but 1t is to be busted from Missouri and pay fines of S23,000 imposed under the Missouri antitrust law. which was sustained.
 The supreme court held the Ken lucky law to be invalid because 1t prescribed one sort of rules for far mers pools and another sort of rules for manufacturers pools, thereby be coming class legislation.
 Justice Holmes, who handed down the decision, said that the Kentucky antitrust laws were construed 10 be intended to prevent combinations stifling competition, except those com binations of tobacco growers. He said that the Kentucky laws compelled bushes men to guess as to what con ditions they must face to do business "and the law must fall if only for un- certainty done"
 Local courts in Kentucky fined the harvester trust 5000 for half dozen alleged violations of the state anti trust and alei-pooling laws. The llower courts were upheld by tht state court of appeals. The harvester trust was charged with having In loreased it's prices by pooling wiv tht I tDeering Harvester company, the MI waukee Harvester company and oth CTS.
 l The decision in the Missouri case means that the harvester trust canno do business in that state and mus
 pay fines of $25,00O for business don' in the state in violation of state anti
 trust laws. The trust was charged :

Change in Situation Due to Fact That < Roads are No Longer Controlled by Owners, Who Would Spend

Washington, June S.-Probably the most important and significant. earnestly, the most comparative and frank statement yet made by United State railroad magnate was given to the International News Service to- night by Newton Erb, president of the Minneapolis & St. Louis, Eenver &, Salt Lake, Ann Arbor, Tennessee, Ala bama and Georgia railroads. MT. Erb for the past thirty years has been prominent in the railway, enterprises of the United States.
 The fact that he is in close touch with President Wilson. an intimate friend of ex-President Roosevelt and a frequent witness at sessions of the in terstate commerce commission, lends a peculiar interest to the statement lie gives here, which includes three vital points:
 First, naturalization (government ownership of railroads in the United States is inevitable.
 Second, the prime trouble of the railroads, as at present constituted, is fhe fact that the actual owners nc longer control them, but are forced tc bow to the dictates of the great banks upon which they are dependent.
 Third, the business of the country is at a standstill and will continue sc because of and until there is an end to the administration policy of inac- ton in Mexico, the rate question and the tariff.
 Spending Others Money.
 "The naturalization of railroads is as sure now as taxes" said Mir. Erb q was greatly interested in Mellen's statement last week, but the only trou- be with that statement, as also with all other statements given out by in terested persons, is that it only scratches the surface of the whole truth.
 "The hue and cry against these rail roads has certainly been justified il Some instances, but the reason for the evils increasing has been overlooked Up to ten years ago, the men identl' fled with teh management of railroads were without exception large owners of the railroad capital. When none!

The Extra Session Question.

The correspondence between the
state Republican committee and Gov

tolerably clear and comprehensive for
the casual reader. In the first place,
the direct primary issue is not the
only question involved in the problem
whether an extra session shall be call
ed, constitutional considerations being
specially concerned. In the second
place, the governor is plainly consider

expense of ST.. 800 in session without
any limit as to duration, and the prob
ability of securing for the taxpayers

place, the governor naturally wonders
that the state Republican committee

TRAINING GIRLS TO BUY.

An otherwise perfectly good house
keeper may know how to keep her
house clean and neat, how to cook the
best food, how to make her own
clothes and how to care for and rear
her children, but if she is not com
potent as purchaser of home sup
plies she has failed in one of the es-
sentials of her position in the home
TO plan the weekly allowance to
cover the needs of the home, to make
purchases economically and judicious-
ly and then to lay aside little nest-cgg
for rainy day, is as important as
anything else in the art of the max
ing of a home.
This ability to buy was never more
necessary than right now, when
prices of foodstuffs, particularly beef
and other meats, are mounting to I'M
precedented and next to unattainable
heights. To know how to best meet
this condition and, if possible, to
eounteract it, is the problem confront
ing every family which cooks its own
meals. The question narrows down to
the woman of the house: here is no
small responsibility which can be met
only by ability, plus knowledge and
experience or training.
The purchases of the housewife,
however, are not confined to foods.
She must choose the clothes for her
self and her children. picking the best
cloths to meet her requirements for
which the purchase is being made.
She must know what looks best and
wears best, and gives the best service
for the outlay. Other incidentals come
under her watchful eye, including
family amusemcnts, health outings
church and social obligations.
The housewife of today should not
he a drudge. Her position is one OF
managerial duties, even though she be
of the great masses of admirable, in
dustrious wives who do all their own
work. Training, as it does with
men, lifts women in the home from
| drudgery and common labor to more
productive and better service.
Training thus becomes a necessity
in the fitting of the housewife for hel
| profession of home making. Teaching
her how to buy is as important as in
struction in cooking, sewing and Other
| factors in domestic science. Working
girls have been making the best wives
in the past because they have beer
trained 10y business experience in th'
value of money. Schools and college
are slowly taking up the task o
teaching girls how to buy for TIN
home and working girls will have NJ
monopoly of this knowledge in the fu
ture. There is need, however, of ia
moro general instruction of this sor
in the public schools.
