"It Is to throw upon the courts." he added "a burden that they have no pre cedents to snabla tbem to carry, and to jciv them a power approaching th arbitrary, the abuse of wbicn might In volve our Judicial system In disaster." As to the doctrine of "good trusts and bad trusts." which th majority of opinion of the court, as expressed by Chief Justice White, seems to have laid down, tbe President in his message. written more tban a year t o. said: The pubile especially th buelness public, ought to rid themselves of th Idea that such a distinction is prac ticable or can be Introduced Into the statute. Csrtalnly. under the present antl-truat law. ao such distinction ealsta." Itslylng upon the former opinion or ths eiupreme Court In the so-called Trans-Missouri and Joint Traffic Asso ciation cases, the President said The Suprem Court In several of Its decisions baa declined to read Into th statute tbe word 'unreasonabls' before 'restraint of trad .' on th ground that th statute applies to all restraints and does Dot Intend to leave to the court the discretion to determine what Is a reasonable restraint of trade. BUI May Annal neclelon. The apparent reversal In ths Ftandard Oil case and the court decisions on former occasions formed the basis of much of tbe discussion here. Although the President's words as to the -rule of reason" seem to be divergent from those of th majority opinion and to coincide more closely with the dissent ing views of Justice Harlan. Mr. Taft was quoted by callers todsy as saying: "1 defer to the decision of th Su preme Court: I am willing; to take my law from It." Generally speaking. Lemocrtle Sen ator and Representatives frankly ex pressed thslr disappointment as to the "rule of reason'" feature of the decision. Chairman Adamson. of the House committee on Interstate and foreign commerce, said the 6uprm Court bad no constitutional power to writ th words Teasonabla" or "unreasonable" Into the bherman anti-trust law. It vras reported tonight that several Democrata are ready to osr amend ments to nullify the court's interpreta tion of the law. but th matter un questionably will b carafully consid ered before any action la taken. Some Insurgent Republicans also were said to have in view amendments to th anti trust law. declarir.- all monopolies, whether reasonable or unreasonable, to be in restraint of trade, and thus take from the courts the power of Interpre tation bestowed by yesterday's decision. Representative Mann. Republican leader of the House, gave th decision Ms hearty Indorsement. He defended the courts action in tne us 01 in word "unreasonable" and declared that ir sora distinction had not been made In the opinion, the business world would have been thrown Into chaos. Chairman Clayton, of th House Judl- clsry committee, said th "unexpected arrowing of th statu would mans neceaaarv further legislation by Con arssa. Clayioa held to Uis view. bow-. ever, that th court's conclusion was correct and would be generally ap proved. Senator Clsrlc. chairman of the Sen ate Judiciary committee, snld the court ruling was "a wonderfully wise deel slon." Senator La Follette. the Insur gent leader, read In the Senate Attor ney-General Wlckersham's ststement of last niKht expressing srrstlflcatlon over the Supreme Court's action and followed It with extracts from the President special message of July 7. 1910. alread referred to. U Follette said evldentl there had been a "remarkable change' In the views of the Administration, If the Attorney-General's statement re fleeted the present state of mind of the President. Tobacco Decision Awaited. The Standard Oil decision occupied the Cabinet almost exclusively at to day's session and the President, havin read It over twice, also discussed It purport with some of his callers. Th attitude of the President himself that he ahould defer to the Supreme Court and accept Ita law as his law. was re fleeted oy the Cabinet Whatever thel opinions might be, none of them was willing to admit that the decision was displeasing. There Is a disposition among Cabinet members to await the decision of tbe Supreme Court in th tobacco case. That decision Is ex pected May 29, and until then no at tenipt will be outlined by the Admin Istmtlon to solve a problem that yes terday'a decision seem to have made more vexatious than ever. To visitors the President said he had no present Intention of sending a spe ciai messag to Congress proposing additional anti-trust legislation. This session, th President said, was called to consider reciprocity. While the President would not discuss the decis ion generally, his speeches on the sub Ject and hia special message of Jan uary 7, 1910, left little doubt as to his views. He had hoped not so much for a decree dissolving the Standard Oil Company, It Is said, as for a clear Interpretation of the antl-truat act un der which the Department of Justice could proceed in tbe future. Trust Pros-ecutlons Will Go On. There Is no Intention on the part of the Admlnlsratlon to check the activi ties of the Department of Justice. Trusts found violating the anti-trust act will be proceeded against as in tbe past. , Although the matter had been con sldered. It seemed probably there would be no attempt to proceed criminally ssalnst the directors of the Standard Oil. At this time the President Is not de termined whether he will press the Federal Incorporation bill which he ree omreended to Congress more than 1 year ago. He told callers he still be lieved In the merits of that bllL The Cabinet Is mors likely to favor a Fed eral Incorporation law than an-emend neat to the Sherman act.

Secretary MsoVeagh today Invited popular sub scriptions to a 130.000.000 Issue of Government Bonds to reimburse the treasury general fund for expenditure on account of the Panama Canal. Treasury officials expect the loan wrtl be Isrgely over-subscribed and In distributing the new securities, the Government's Intsntlon Is to give pref erence to smaller bidders. The new securities will bear three per cent Interest, payable quarterly; will be free from all National, suite or municipal taxation, and will be In de nominations of tlOO, IfiOO and $1000. They will be dated June 1. 1911, and will b pavabl In 9 years. By provision of law, the bonds will not be available for National banks as th basis of circulation. Inasmuch as they are th first the United States ever has issued with such a restriction, much interest Is attached to the price they ill bring. According to law, they cannot be sold at loss than par. The premium which ther can command will reflect the condition of the L'nited States aa compared with that of the nations of Europe. Inasmuch aa the postal savings bsnk lsw fixed the per value of a postal bank bond bearing two and one-halt per cent Interest at tlOO. It Is a-reed that the I per cent Panama canal bonds must bring more than par. How much more conjecture. Tbe estimates ransie ranee from slightly above par to 10S. Checks and postal orders will be ac cepted for the new bonds something which has never been done before. Al thopch the Issue Is designed for pri vate bankers. National banks which bid for the bonds will be allowed to deposit them as security for Government de Doslls. companies. Now a Joint stock company gets Its money by throwing out a drag net for the savings pr earnings of indi viduals In ail partsSof the country. It offers Its stock tor sale. It does cot care who buys the stock. -The first thing that It Is necessary to do in order to approach the corpor ation without awe and without doubt that It can be controlled. Is to realize that It Is doing business upon a basis and In a way which cannot properly be described as private at alL It is do ing business for that part of the people that has subscribed to Its stocks. We must realize therefore that It is no in trusion on the part of the public who, by subscription, are supporting these things, to look Into the affairs of cor porations when they please, and to treat tbem as In some very Important sense public, not private instrumentalities. "When they become hurtful they can "UNREASONABLE" NOT IN IT Th. ind. rc.Tno,ncomp.,u them. I-ie must tnereiore be protected against them. "Public service corporations, such as railroads, street railways, gas companies and companies which supply electric light and power, are In a still larger sense publlo Instrumentalities. In a less degree, but no less truly, all corporations sre public instrumentalities. They are therefore manifestly legitimate subjects of control. We need not be afraid of violating ant principle of Justice In con trolling them. The best tonic for them is publicity. The powers of communities, are loaned to tl. em. They are Instrumentalities for everybody. Every man Is. by possi bility at any rate, a partner In them; and every man, as a constituent of the lawmakers, has a part In lending them the extraordinary powers which they exercise. Publicity therefore should be the law of life for them. "Moreover, It should be recognised as a fundamental principle of our law in dealing with them, that though we call them artificial persons, the only per- sons we are really going; to deal with In Imposing the penalties of the law upon them are the person who con stitute their directors and officers. There Is no mystery about them; these are the persons they as e. matter of fact consist of. We ought by this time to have seen the futility I might even say the silliness of trying to punish Illegal action by penalizing corpora tions as such. Fines punish the stock holder; forfeitures of charter and of th franchises which they are exercis ing paralyse Industry and confuse business. "Every corporation . ought to be obliged to disclose to the proper offi cers of the law its organization, with such expllcitne8s that it will be pos sible to determine from Its own sworn analysis to which particular officer or board or committee each act of the cor poration is traceable; and the law should Impose its penalties upon the members of that board or of that com mlttee or upon that officer. They should be punished Individually, as ether violators of the law are pun ished. We cannot afford to have these great machines driven by unseen engi neers: and It Is silly to break up the machine Instead of holding the engi neer criminally liable when wrongs .gainst humanity are committed. "Let us clearly recognize and every where proclaim that successful busi ness and Just politics are not antago nistic. "The real difficulty in the manage ment of our corporations In recent years has been the wrong point of view of those who were in - control of them. They did not recognize that they were public trustees. They acted as If they were conducting their own pri vate business. Let them change their point of view, and there is no problem to solve."

Supreme Justice Harlan's dissenting opinion in the Standard Oil case, delivered orally and without notes, wse available In its entirety for the first time tonight, and received most careful consideration. Even yet, the opinion is not In its final form and undoubtedly will be greatly elaborated. Justice Harlan said In part: "I feel constrained by a sense of duty to state some objections which I have to the opinion of the court, which I have heretofore examined In typewrit ing. I shall not say anything about the decree except to say that upon hearing the arguments on this act some years ago and since my examination of this case. I came to the conclusion that the decree of the Circuit Court was sub stantially right In all particulars. As to all the Chief Justice hi aid about the Illegal combination of this oil company and Its coming with in the anti-trust act, I cordially con cur. There are, however, some things In this opinion which I am unwilling to let pass with say Idea that I ap prove them. Origin of Law Discussed. The anti-trust act of 1S90 was passed at a tims when this country waa In a state of great unrest, arising out of an enormous aggregation of capital In a few hands, and arising; out of combination which had their hands upon the throat of this country; and Congress had before It the great ques tion as to how these evils were to be remedied. The question was: What shall we do? They finally, after great debate by able statesmen, passed the anti-trust act of 1890. Let me call four attention to a few words of that act. It provides In section 1: " 'That every contract, combination In form of trust, or otherwise, or con spiracy not "In restraint of trade. the learned Chlof Justice said In one part of his remarks, but "in restraint of trade among the several states and with foreign nations is hereby de clared to be Illegal.' "Congress has nothing to do with do mestic trade In the states, but as to in terstate trade It has a great deal to do and therefore it tell upon this policy. But Congress said: The surest way to protect Interstate commerce is not to start upon any distinctions at all as to the kinds of trade, but every contract in restraint of trade among the states Is hereby declared to be Illegal.' Then, In the second section: 'Every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolise or comblns or conspire with any other person or persons to monopolize. . . "Monopolize what? 'Any part of interstate trade or commerce ... shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by this act.' Monopoly in Itself Condemned. "What becomes, then, of the state ment that this act did not eondemn monopoly In Itself? Did not these men know what a monopoly was? And when Congress said that we will pun ish any man that monopolises or at tempts to monopolize .any part of the Interstate commerce, did It not know what It Intended? That Is not all: Every contract, combination, in form or trust or otherwise, or con spiracy In restraint of trade or com merce among the states, is hereby de clared Illegal. 'That question Involves the con struction as to the scope and meaning of that anti-trust law. "Therefore, Congress said to all the people of this country: 'n e are not going to bother the courts or ourselves with any Inquiries a to what contracts are In restraint : of trade reasonably or unreasonably. We are not going to leave that to any Jury. We are not going to leave that to any Circuit Judge. We will deter mine It as a part of the policy of the United - Slates that, so fsr as Inter state trade is concerned, no body or corporation shall make, or attempt to enforce a contract, any contract, that in any dearree restrains interstate trade.' Can anybody doubt the meaning of those words? "The most alarming tendency of this day. In my Judgment, so far as the safe ty and integrity of our institutions are concerned. Is the tendency to Judicial legislation, so that, when men having ast Interests are concerned and tney annot set the lawmaking power of tne country to pass the legislation they de- Ire, the next thing they do Is to raise the Question In some case, to get tne court so to construe the Const ituion or he statutes as to mean what they want It to mean." Practically the decision toda I do not mean the Judgment but parts of ha oninion. are to the effect practically that the courts may. by mere Judicial construction, amend the Constitution of the fnlted States or an act or con gress. Tnat, 11 striaes me, is njuciiic, ous: an:d that Is part of tbe opinion that I especially object to. PUBLICITY IS BUT TONIC Etlmson's Appointment Confirmed. WASHINGTON. May 18. Henry L.
