Sheppard's Loss of Faith.

Senator Sheppard says that referendum to the
people OF the District of Columbia will be blow
to prohibition. The young Demosthenes from
Texas has long been an advocate of the people
demanding that Congress submit this important
question to them for settlement. Little more than
a year ago-on December 49, IoI4-he made an
eloquent speech in the United States Senate in
which he described the anxiety of the people, and
agreed that Congress had only one duty, to submit
national prohibition to the American people He
declared that "the who resists submission
stands between than 100000 American
people and the constitutional powers of the repub-
lie"
This same Senator says that submission Of
the question of prohibition in the District Of Co.
lumbia to the people Of the District means defeat
Has Senator Sheppard lost faith in the people?
Those who live in the District of Columbia have
imagined that they part of the American
people. They here from every State in the
union, a part OF them from the State of Texas
some from the Senator's own home, and they have
not lost their Amercanism by making their
temporary permanent home in the District
They had at home been exercising the right Of
petition, and surely Senator Sheppard would not
deny this sacred right, which he cloquently de-
tended year ago. to the people who have no other
way of appealing to Congress. He has said that
this right Of the people is paramount to all other
rights, and he quoted from those who made the
Constitution to sustain that contention. Is that
paramount right of the people to be recognized
only when a Senator believes that it will support
his views, and to be denied whenever he suspects
that the voice of the people will be against him?
Speaker Clark tells the story of justice of the
peace in Missouri who preferred to decide a case
after hearing only side OF the argument
That appears to be the logic of Senator Sheppard
He is for the people when they listen to him and
vote his way. but he is not willing to allow the
people to hear the other side or to vote without
listening to any argument at all. He appears to
believe that the voice of the people is the voice
of God only when that voice is sounded by the
vocal chords of the Senator from Texas.

As we have seen. the unfortunate decision of
the Supreme Court in the Sugar Trust case in
1896 made the Sherman law dead letter for many
years. 1t took nearly FIVE years before the Su-
preme Court, in ISoo made it evident, in the Addy-
ston Pipe and Steel Compsny case, that the Sher-
man law did in fact carry out the purpose of its
trainers. The court then plainly showed that the
Sherman law was law of great force and power,
thoroughly equal to condemning and breaking up
great trusts and monopoes
In spite of these plain declarations by the Su-
preme Court, great impetus had been given to
the formation of trusts account OF the general
Misunderstanding caused by the decision in the
Sugar Trust case. The result was that in the
period of general business prosperity which fol-
lowed the Spanish war of 1893 the formation of
great trusts proceeded with renewed vigor. In
the period between 1899 and 1904, the NUMBER and
the size of trusts and combinations was far
greater than ever before. The Sherman law was
entirely dsregarded.
In 1902, however, under the administration of
general enforcement of the Sherman law was be-
gun. suit was brought by the government on
March 10, 1902, against the Northern Securities
luton of that company the ground that it in
volved combination between the Great Northern
Railway Company and the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company, unlawful under the Sherman law
On March IA, 1904, the United States Supreme
Court granted Judgment in favor of the govern
ment and thereby brought about the dissolution of
the Northern Securities Company, During the re-
mainder of the Roosevelt administration, the gov
ernment instituted more than forty prosecutions
under the Sherman law compared with total
number of only eighteen prosecutions instituted
by the government from the time when the Sher-
man law was enacted in 1890 to the commencement
of the Roosevelt administration in 1907.
For the first time, then, the business commu-
nifty aroused to a recognition of the drastic
and far-reaching force of the Sherman law. Up
to that time the general business community had
been lulled into the belief that the Sherman law
was dead letter. This belief was we'll justified,
prior to the Addyston decision, because of the
abortive decision in the Sugar Trust case. As a
result Of the Northern Securities decision in 1904,
the business community rudely awakened to
recognition of the fact that the Sherman law con-
sttuted a statutory provision of the most drastic
nature.

A letter written by Dr. Richard Hill, men,
Der OF the American commission that went into
the Caucasus to investigate conditions among the
Armenian refugees who fled into Russia to escape
the Turks, gives this description of the scenes OBJ
tanned by him from a traveller: Children were
dying by the hundreds, sometimes the frenzied
mothers would, in their helpless mad grief, fling
their children from them over the roadside into
the fields, so as not to see the dying agonies of
their emacisted and starved babies. Old women
and meh were dropping out by the roadside, too
Jar gone to go another step. Epdemics had al
ready appeared and were claiming their victims by
the hundreds. From that throng, he said there
went up such an unutterable wall of woe and mis-
cry that he was compelled to close the window in
his railway compartment to try to shut out the
sound of that concentration of agony and pain -
The savage methods which brought about such
conditions it will be recalled, have been heartily
Endorsed in Germany.

When the news came that a majority

On the 10th of December following the
convention which it had called. sitting In
Charleston. adopted an ordinance which
solemnly repealed the act of the conven-
ton of the ed of May, 11ss. whereby the
State had accepted the constitution OF
the United states as part of its funds-

ratifications of federal constitutional
amendments, and formally declared the

The theory IS being advanced that Justice
Hughes will not enter the Presidential contest but
will cling tcnaciOusy to his place on the Supreme
Court bench, that it may not be filled by another
Democrat OF the type of Mr.. Brandeis. 1t is even
suggested that in nominating Mr.. Brandeis the
President had in mind this very idea of eliminating
a formidable opponent. Possibly it would be as
we'll to wait until Mr.. Brandeis is confirmed be-
fore carrying the speculation to the point of
weighing the chances that President Wilson will
have OF filling more Supreme Court vacancies
