Film Trust DecisiOn.

In upholding the sherman antitrust law in
the case against the so-called film trust the
federal court At Philadelphia restated the prnci-
Pile on which tho law turns. Monopoly In any
thing of public use. not under public control,
leads to abuses that cannot be tolerated The
court goes little further In this case, holding
that the possession of patents covering the arti-
Gle in use ia not sufficient cause for erecting and
maintaining an oppressive operative agency.
What the final effect OF this decision will be
on the moving picture industry cannot now be
even conjectured. The case will 20 to the su-

Speeding Up for Good Roads.

Those most vitality interested in good roads
leading in and out OF omshs--and every one is
interested in greater or less degree-are in
auguraung a new movement for road improve
hient which we will be glad TO help along. The
only questions involved that may be subject to
debate are. On how large a scale shall the pro-
gram of road improvement be laid out7 And by
what methods and machinery shall the work be
executed7
II must be remembered that we have had
good roads propaganda before, and that Douglas
county once voted $4,000 in bonds to pay for
permanent roadways with the unfortunate ex-
perience that the taxpayers are doubtful
whether they got their moneys worth. We have
also been spending year after year close to $780,.
900 annually on the construction and mainte-
nance OF roads and bridges in this county, and
we ought TO have something TO show for II more
than we have II must be remembered too that
II Is foolish, as well as useless, to build perma-
nent roadways unless we are ready to maintain
them constantly In good condition.
Properly laid out and kept up. a system OF
permanent roads radiating from Omaha can
easily be a profitable investment. The move
ment. however, to make Roadway, will have to
proceed along distinctly practical lines.

much territory.
Has he considered that 50 per cent Of
the commercial men are married and
have a family and that from 20 TO 30 per
cent Of them own or are paying for their
homes?

argument on fifty-two pieces Of polished

"Lest We he Judged"

LINCOLN. Neb, Oct. 2.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The learned 60 Mr..
Bradshaw Of North Platte. Neb, takes a
slap at the travelling man through The
Bee and no doubt feels quite well pleased
with the sound Of his little tack hammer.
He says that 50 per cent OF the artveling
men are pure, unadulterated sinners. To
this we reply, Judge not lest ye be
judged" But even at that most of us
would Father be called sinners than
fools. 1t is quite true that travelling men
sometimes while away a few minutes
with the ''fifty-two pieces of polished
card boards" but 1t Is equally true that
the narrow guage, small bore pretenders
Of the Bradshaw type put In their spare
time brow-beating their neighbors. We are
not a perfect lot. but we deal from the
top of the deck and we play the game
on ths square. AS a class we are fully as
much divided on the merits of Billy
Sunday as are other intelligent men. This
writer does not know the sanity %
Bradshaw, but no doubt he has retired
and moved to North Platte to die, and
we wish him success.
