mains just as much a monopoly as It
had ever. been.
Such has been the history Of ever3
trust prosecution. When the famous
Northern Securities company case
was "won," also in the Supreme
Court, Attorney General Knox left
undisturbed the tie between the two
railroad systems: bond issue which
tied the two in common interest, and
the supposed purpose of the prosecu-
tlon-competition between the two
ra1lroad systems-never was achieved.
The roads do not compete to this
day.
The Beef Trust Too.
The beef trust at Chicago was
once prosecuted to a successful
termination-for the beef trust. The
government got an injunction which
by this time must be fly-specked and
dusty document. This forbade the
beef trust to do anything naughty
any more; and then the beef trust
got an Immunity bath" and it has
gone on beer trusting ever since. IF
anybody should suggest digging up
the old injunction for sending the
trust to Jail for contempt. he Womb
make himself the largest joke in the
United States. Courts are not en-
joining trusts.
All efforts to enforce the so-called
criminal statutes against the naugh+v
managers of the trusts have proved
equally futile. The managers either
got off before juries or were
pardoned before they served SEN
fences, because sober second thought
regarded them merely as enterprisine
business men taking advantage Of
opportunities which the law and
business world afforded them.
Those who are willing to face the
matter honestly admit that the Sher-
man law is a failure and admit with
equal frankness that no trust can be
dissolved until it is deprived of those
things which go to make it a trust

natural resources which really should

tive got to leave" said the young
woman operator to the social secre-
tary Of large manufacturing con-
Germ in this city employing many
young women.
''Why?" asked the social secretary.
"You are doing fine here; you are
making good wages, you do your work
we'll and everybody likes you. You
will not find it easier to earn $18 to
$40 a week elsewhere"
"Oh, it isn't that" hastily replied
the young women. 1T is something
very different. You have been good

And I've made lots Of friends here
the past five years. It isn't that all,
but"
And then the operator poured into
sympathetic ears her story.
She had gone wrong in her own
town. Repentance there had awaited
her nothing. So she had come to the
city, found work among strangers,
lived a straight life, made friends and
was getting along nicely.
But next week." she continued,

am going away"
DO you know this new girl we'll I?
Did she know you we'll? Are you
sure she will tell?'' asked the social
secretary.
I'VE went to school together, and
were in the same social circle. 1 am
sure she will tell" was the answer.
After much persuasion the social
secretary got the worried operator to
stay, under promise that the new girl
wouldn't say anything detrimental to
her. But it was problem as to just
how to handle the situation.
Monday morning, bright and early,
the social secretary was on the look
out for the new girl. She was deter
mined to have the first talk with her.
So when she entered she was cordi-
ally greeted, and the social secretary
causually remarked.
Il hope you will like it here. Your
employers are real good men to work
for. And perhaps there may be some
girls from your own home town work.

BATESVILLE TAXES
LIQUOR SHIPMENTS

Little Rock, June 19.-The action of
the supreme court in invalidating the
occupation tax in Hot Springs, and
by implication similar tax that had
been levied by the city council of Lit
tie Rock, has made it necessary for
the cities to look about for some other
source of revenue.
One proposition which is meeting
with general favor is the passage of a
liquor shipment inspection ordinance,
fifty cents on each package Of liquor
received in the city by express or
freight. A similar law has been passed
at Birmingham, and is now in the
courts to be tested as to it's constitu-
tionalitv. Batesville has passed a
similar ordinance, and is collecting
under it. II
1t has been estimated that an aver
age of three hundred packages of
liquor daily are received by the ex-
press companies in Little Rock, be-
sides the large quantity of beer that
comes by freight. If this is true, an
inspection fee of fifty cents a pack
age would produce considerable
revenue. The advocates of the tax
base their arguments upon a two-fold
ground, that of revenue and further
regulation of the use and sale of in
toxicants in the state.
1t is expected that the next legis-
lature will enact new laws for the re-
striction or regulation of liquor ship
ments, insofar as it can be done
without infringing upon interstate
commerce.
