Aimed at "Rule of Reason"

Mr.. Stanley's amendment would
change the second and fourth sections
Of the Sherman act in the manner al
ready forecasted in The Tribune. 1t
would insert in Section Unto which
the Supreme Court injected the rue
of reason'-the words 'v any degree
This section would then read:
Every person who shall monopolize
or attempt to monopolize or combine
or conspre with any other person or
persons TO monopolize in any degree
any part Of the trade or CONNER c
among the several states, or with for
eign nations, shall he deemed guilty OF
a misdemeanor, and, on conviction
thereof, shall be punished by a fine Lot
exceeding 5000 or by Imprisonment
not exceeding one year or by both sald
punishments, in the discretion of the
court
Discussing that portion OF Chief Jus
lice Whites decision which relates TO
unreasonable restraint of trade, Repre-
sentative Stanley said tonight that he
had always regarded it as unnecessary
10 the decision, and, therefore, not the
law.
Many. however. believe" Mr.. Stan
ley continued, that the effect of this
decision is TO render illegal only such
combinations in restraint of trade as
are unreasonable. The insertion of
words in any degree with the other
provisions will save the law as
amended from any such Interpretation
and will render all restraints of trade
illegal -

TOO LIBERAL WITH ADVICE
Bank Cashier Meant Well, But Sad

and Lasting Lesson.

The story sifted down from St Paul

cause he found an ink spot on his
monthly statement, which recalled to
a bank official Of this town the reason
why one cashier ceased to be a little
ray of sunshine. Persons who a
coax more than a conversational bit
out of him nowadays are indeed
skilled. HE was a conservative guy

was the sort Of = man who would
leave a light turned on in the hall
at night so that burglars might think
that some member Of the family had
not returned home. He was espe-
cially strong on temperance. Strong
drink had never scared his pure lips.

Article XVI. This article establishes
the principle that the family and domi-
cile are inviolable, except for the pur-
poses Of arrest under a warrant from
a proper court expressing the charge.
Article XVII. No one shall be arrest
ed or imprisoned for debts Of a purely
civil character. No one shall exercise
violence to claim his rights. The
courts will always be ready for the
administration of Justice. This will
be free, the costs being abolished.
Article XVII. Private property shall
not be taken without the consent Of
the owner, except In case Of public
utility, and by just payment therefor.
Religious corporations or institutions,
no matter of what denomination,
character, durability or purpose, and
civil corporations when under the pat
ronage, direction or SUPPLEMENTARY
Of religious institutions, or ministers
Of any cult, shall not have the legal
capacity to acquire or manage any
real estate except the buildings which
are used Immediately and directly for
the services Of the said institutions;
neither will the law recognize any
mortgage on any property held by
these institutions.
Article XVIII. State and church
are independent. Congress cannot
make any law establishing or forbid
ding any religion. :
The practical abrogation Of the con-
stitution under Diaz and Huerta has
resulted in the building up Of q priyt-
legged class and the cruel exploitation
Of the people. Vast territories have
passed into private ownership. The
disinherited peon has become the vir-
tual slave Of the land owners, and
freedom has been a privilege pur-
chased from the government by those
who had the means.
These are the conditions that De
Lara pictures, and it Is to end them

CAN MAKE HOME IN TROPICS
official of Department Of Agriculture
Thinks Dominant Races Have
a Duty There.

Preparing the white man for his
COMING occupation Of the tropics by
teaching him how to live there is the
substance of a suggestion made to the
Par-American Union by Prof. Nathan
A. Cobb Of the department of agri-
culture. The establishment on the
Panama canal zone of an international
bureau of research is the recon-
mendation he makes. He would have
this bureau make a careful scientific
study of how the white man will have
to adapt himself to conditions. food,
climate, ETC., so that he may inhabit
the tropics, and work there without
injury to his health.
The present sporadic and scattered
study being made along this line,
Professor Cobb does not consider Of
much value. 1t should be on a broad
scale. and comprehensive, he says,
taking up the whole field. Because
of the wonderful possibilities Of pro-
duction in the tropics. Professor Cobb

Blue Eyed Men and Women.

Blue eyed beauties are known for
their self-control, %coldDess, austerity
and precision. They r severe and

Moreover, they are domineering and

Blue eyed men are highly intellec-
