ABOUT CHARLESTON
PORT.

Washington, Feb. 23.-President
Wilson today conferred with Chair
man Starkman, of the river and har-
Dor committee. of the house, about
harbor improvements at Charleston
and Norfolk on the combined ground
of naval and commercial needs, which
were recognized in the case of New
York as furnishing sufficient reason
to break the committees rule against
new project.
The president promised Congress
man Whaley, of the Charleston dis
trict, and Congressman Holland, Of
the Norfolk district, when they ap-
pealed to him last Monday to help
them get consideration from the COM
mittee on the same principle as New
York, that he would send for Mr.,
Sparkman and have talk with him.
After seeing the president Chair
man Sparkman said that If the navy
department recommended the i'm
provements at Charleston and Norfolk
the committee might be disposed to
include them in the bill, as formu.
lated; otherwise there would be no
change.

AMERICAN CAN COMPANY HELD
ILLEGAL CORPORATION.
Judge Refuses to Dissolve Corporation
or to Dismiss Suit Brought by Gov
ernmcnt.

Baltimore, Feb. 23.-Federal Judge
Rose. in an opinion said to be unique
In American jurisprudence today re-
tanned jurisdiction in the governments
suit against the American Can COM
pany under the Sherman antitrust
law, but declined either to enter a. de-
cree Of dissolution or. to dismiss the
case. The court announced that al
though it had found the company was
Illegally formed and still was existing
under the powers thereby granted, it
doubted the value Of a dissolution at
this time. However. the right was re-
served for the government to ask fur
;ther remedy IL there should be a "re-
newal of monopolistic or restraint of
trade practices"
The company, the court held, had
not been guilty of vicious practices
within the last few years, but some Of
the governments charges of unfair
practices the past were sustained.
Judge Rose held, however, that he
would take the course indicated unless
one or the other Of the parties insist
on his entering such final decree and
will enable them to seek at once re-
view by a higher tribunal. "If either
of them dO," he said in conclusion.
II am not prepared now to say that
they will not be within their rights
and that it would not be my duty to
do what they ask. That, question is
reserved until the occasion for decid.
ing 1t shall ;arise.", ~ 10 81 !,
Before announcing his conclusion,
Judge Rose stated that he was
frankly reluctant to destroy 80 finely
adjusted .an industrial machine as the
record shows the defendant to be. Yet
the government too has its rights, and
has thus. y,far been properly insistent
upon them.'' . >

ago charged the American Can COM
pany and its officers with violating the
Sherman, Jaw by absorbing competi-
tors and can making machinery con-

In addition to the parent concern
and nine subsidiaries. including the,

WHAT THEY THINK OF HUGHES,

Strange how hard it is for Repub-
licans to nominate a ticket that will
please the Democratic campaign man
ayers. There is not the slightest
doubt that if some one other than
Hughes had been nominated. the Dem
ocratic press would today be lauding
Hughes to the skies and telling the
members of the Republican party how
they had been betrayed by the "bos-
ses. They would point to him as the
one member of the party possessing
the craftsmanship, the integrity and
the patriotism to lead the party in
political campaign. But since he was
nominated, it is an entirely different
matter. No difference how high a re-
gard the individual editor has for Mr.
Hughes fitness for the office, the ex-
lgencies of a political campaign make
1t necessary for them to say eve.y-
thing possible derogatory of him. But
the rank and file OF the Democratic
party understand the reasons for the

Paper Mills to Use New Woods.

Of handling wood chips suitable for
paper pulp, it is announced that Wis
consin paper companies are now nego-
tiating with the railroads for ship
ment to their factories of experiment
tai train loads of chips of western
woods adapted to paper making.
Previous Investigations by the for
est service have demonstrated that
good grades of paper can be made
from number of western woods. The
experts now estimate that some of
these woods, when cut into chips and
dried and baIed, can be delivered to
the mills in Wisconsin at a very small
advance over the cost of chips made
from local timber. If a favorable
freight rate can be obtained, they say,
the great quantity of pulpwood on the
national forests should prove to be a
considerable factor in supplying fay-
orably located paper mills with the
necessary raw material. In Wiscon-
sin alone, it is stated, there is an an
nual market for over 100000 cords of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

Some years ago an ardent disciple
OF William j. Bryan died in Connect
ont. He left modest estate and be-
queathed a sum of money to his idol.
In addition he left sealed envelope
containing directions to pay a hand
some amount to Mr.. Bryan. The wi
dow and her advisors did not recog-
nize this document as an essential
part of the testator's will and the
needs of the widow were such that
she did not feel that she could spare
the money. Yet Bryan went into the
courts, fought that widow and tried
to wrest from her the money which
she needed and which he could claim
in only shadowy fashion The courts
turned him away empty-handed.
Six years ago Woodrow Wilson re-
signed the presidency of Princeton
University in order to enter politics.
He was elected governor of New Jer-
sey and came into receipt of the iarg-
est salary he had ever enjoyed. BY
reason of his political position and
through the aid of George Harvey.

CONGRESS AND ITS PRECEDENTS.

eff congress can go in Georgia and
North and South Carolina to forbid
child labor" asks the Waco Times
Herald, why isn't it competent to
go into New York, New Jersey and
New Hampshire to forbid a ten-hour
day."
If congress can say that ten hours
pay must be paid for eight hours work
why can't it say twelve hours pay
must be paid for four hours work
Or why can't congress say four
hours pay shall be paid for twelve
hours work?
If congress can say that eight hours
constitute a days work, why can't ii
say that no man can work more than
eight hours?
Why can't it say that farmers pro
ducing Gotten or grain to be transport
ed as interstate commerce can not
ship products from one state tC
another if they work more than eight
hours day?
There are 100000 children in Texas
picking cotton at the present, work
ing not less than twelve hours day
Why can not congress say the cotton
picked by these children shall not be
transported from one State to another
Or why can not congress say that
Gotten to be shipped from one State tc
another shall be produced by men
working notH more than eight hours
a day?
Power is power, and congress seems
to regard itself as entirely unlimited
in exercising it's authority over every
detail of interstate commerce.
If congress has acted with wisdom
in enacting the child labor law, it has
opened up field of legislative en-,
deavor almost without limit
If it can raise wages for one class
of labor, it can for another, and other
classes of labor are signlfying that they
want theirs.
1t seems to The Post as if congress
has established precedents within the
past month that will compel the
people of the United States to do some
serious thinking before long.-Hous
