DR.. Lloyd's Lecture.

One OF the most Interesting lectures
yet given in the st. Aloysius' Lecture
Course was delivered on Tuesday.
April q, by DIR. Lloyd, of Ridge, Md.
The subject was abraham Lincoln. >,
DIR. Lloyd spoke entirely from memory.
fiuently and without hesitation. and
with an enthusiasm for his subject
thai enkindled the audience.
His lecture, composed and delivered
in the intervals OF very busy prac-
tice, was presentation of Lincoln's
life, its traits and lessons. Special
attention was devoted to- that phase of
this remarkable life which would ap-
peal most to our own young men.
viz: his early years.
There is no one, even of those who
may not endorse the public acts of
Lincoln in the terrible war-times. who
can fail To marvel at the narrative of
those years of unilagging ambition,
at the development of a great mind
and noble character in the face of
every obstacle due to poverty and
hardship. Many of the anecdotes of
Eincoln's early life, drawn from Dr.
Lloyd's careful study of his subject,
were new even To- those who thought
themselves familiar with the life of
Lincoln. BY his dramatic treatment.
the lecturer set of TO good advantage
the episodes of life which is in itself
an eDic-in its growth, its triumph
and its tragedy.
Many who heard the lecture express
ed the hope that our young people
might lay bear in mind It's lessons of
night-minded and honest ambition of
the boy ABE, y who pulled fodder for
six day that he might obtain the
coveted Life OF aSAsington;'' who
wrote his first speeches with buzz
ards feather pen on shsvings for pa
per, when too poor tn buy better writ
ing material, in order To develop his
talent for oratory; who walked six
miles and back to- return four cents
paid to him overdue.
DIR. Lloyd deserves congratulations
for his work, and we hope that it ma Y
not he long before he favors Us with
another lecture to equal that on
Abraham Lincoln.

One of Business Eacts.
A synopsis of the decision, which
was written by the senior judge,
Joseph J. Burlington, prepared by d.
iection of the court, says that the
keynote of the entire opinion Is that
this case. proceeding under the
sherman antitrust law, is largely
one Of business facts"
In another part Of the opinion the
court says that 1.-THE real test of mo-
noply is not the size OF rnat which is
acquired but the trade power Of that
which is not acquired"

noply and trade restraint the. court

Tennessee Deal Upheld.
The court found nothing wrong in
the Steel Corporation acquiring the
Tennessee Coal & Iron company dur
ing the financial panic Of 1907 and
thus virtually approved the attitude Of
the Roosevelt administration in not
Interfering with that deal. On this
point the court held that the output
Of Tennessee at the time was only IL
per cent Of the country's total output;
that up to that time its principal pro-
duct, rails, was made at a. loss; that
lis ultimate success was doubtful and
involved further outlay OF $25.o00.-
600, and that the purchase Of the
Tennessee property, as well as that OF
several other steel concerns earlier in
tn hosiery Of the big corporation, was
made in fairs business course and was
"the honest exertion of ones right to
contract for ones benefit unaccom-
panied by wrongful motive to injure5
cthers''
with regard to Andrew Carnegie,
who, the government charged. was a
party to the unlawful combination
and took the bonds OF the corpora
ton with all the infirmities attaching
to such participation" The court
found that there was no proof that he
accepted any other relation IN the for
nation Of the Steel Corporation than
that Of seller of his stocks and bonds.
The court declared to be true Mr..
Carnegie's statement that hes disposed
of his interests In a desire to retire
from the hazards and responsibility Of
active business.
