No court In thia country pronounce un lawful any uch contract. Not only do th court not decreo uch aaree menta unlawful, but In a Dumber of th tate there ar positive statute to the effect that uch labor combination ar legal. Masllar Metbeae la l'e. t'pon what theory of economic equal Irr can a law declare tlleic&l the con tract of manufacturer of oil or of manufacturer of tobacco, to ralne the price of their product, while similar agreement amona their workmen are authorized and upheld? To accomplish their respective purposes, we have the fist. br knuckle and fun of th striker and picket and the different con trlvances of the trusts by which they lit price and limit production, so that the pathway or the combination, whether It be that of labor or of capi tal, la. In the words of Chief Justice White, "strewn with the wreck re sulting from the crushing out. without renar.i to law, of the Individual rights of others. The anti-trust act was passed July t, 190. Since that date It ha been be fore the Supreme Court and the lower Federal court many time In various phases and ancles. This I neither th time nor the place for a technical an alysis of the meanlns and Interpreta tion placed by the courts upon that statute. Nor Is this tre occasion to auinrest, much less discuss, the question whether the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions do or do not depart from the lana-uair or doctrine of earlier de risions of the Supreme Court. Case .Meat Be Tre Separately. It I sufficient that the court ha held definitely and finally that only throe combinations and trusts thst un duly or unreasonably restrain Inter state trade are Illegal. Only those contracts which are "unreasonably restrictive of competitive conditions. and that have "not been entered Into or performed with the legitimate pur pose of reasonably forwardlnjr personal Interest and developing trade," are pronounced by the Chief Justice to be within the Inhibition of the ant I-trust act. To make contract or combination illegal there rouat be "undue restraint ?f Interstate or foreign commerce." , Chief Justice White has said that ihnucti the anti-trust statute doe not upectfy. It Indubitably contemplate and requires "a standard" and that It was Intended by the statute that "the standard of reason" should be the measure used for the purpose of de termining whether In a riven ease a particular act ha or ha not brought about the wrong; agalnat which the statute provide. To quote the words of the Chief Justice, the anti-trust act leaves It "to be determined by the light of reason ... In every given case whether any particular art or contract was within the contemplation of the statute." In other word, each and every case must stand on It own facta. Oerlalea Mast Be Awaltea. Few. If any. decision rendered by the Supreme Court during the last 49 yesr have produced more discussion and found more champions arrayed asalnst each other. Without entering Into an analysis of the merit or de merit of these contending force, the fart remain that no corporate official to,! ay can know positively whether hi own corporation come within th range of the law until he ha had a final decision from th Supreme Court. The suit against the standard Oil Company was begun on November 14, loi. It was decided by the Supreme Court May IS. 1911- It was In th court for exactly four year and lx month. Th tobcco case was begun July 1. 107. and decided May 2. Ull a period of three years and ten montce. It Is therefore entirely accurate to say that tlie officers cf no one of the great runner of big corporations en gaged In Interstate commerce land all su-h are subject to possible suit by the Government! will be able to know with complete certainty tuntll each particular case has been finally de cided ar.d this will take at least ev erl years) what the outcome will be. If there be an attack under the anti trust act. t rlmlaal Trials Even were. Bat aside from this Intolerable doubt as to commercial consequence there I the still greater fear arls:ng from th ur.certalntv of an attempted enforce ment cf tne criminal provisions of the act. which subjects offender. If found gulltv. to the possibility If the crim inal provisions of the law be upheld) (,e e, ye.tr's Imprisonment for every sep arate offense. In such a plight ther ought to be seme metnod of relief at '.ram wortll lr In. I'nder tl-.e doctrine thus announced the heads of M corporations are In constant Jeopardy of a aud.len attack and criminal prosecution. There la no filed standard by which one can with certainty govern his conduct. The In rtustrlal orl.1 Is at the mercy of the r-ret Service men and of the Depart ment of Justice. Tee fundamental requirement of all law and ortl.r Is precision and deflnlte r.ess. licfore t!e rendition of the le cesion In the Standard 'il and Tobacco cases, l'r. si lent Taft was of the mind that the doctrine which the Supreme Court sub-efluently adopted would pre cipitate d!ter. Q votes sialeeseat Taft. Mr. Taft said on January T. 1910: 'To leave to the court to ay what 1 a rea eonaMe restraint vt trade, what I a :fntbif suppression of competition, wSst Is a reas.rjhle monopoly . . . la fco put Into tr.e hands of the court a yivrr impossible to errclee on any eonslstent princltde which will Insure 0e unfomntv of decision essential to Just Judgment. It Is to thrust upon the courts a burden that they have no pre cedents to r.ard thrm to carry, and to give them a power approaching the arbitrary, the abuse of which might In volve our whole Judicial system In dis aster." Thl saying Is Just a wis today as It wa before the recent decision of th Supreme Court wer announced Th clence of government and of lw and of business ha not changed In tn short space of H months. Federal police and Secret service men at any moment may suddenly tke charge of any of the big Industrial en terrrlse of the dy.

To meet the emergency I would sug gest a few remedies tlist correlate with each other and which to me would seem to promise certainty where uncertainty now exists. and restore confidence where misgiving nd apprehension pre vail, and substitute stability for Inst bllity In the business world. 1. I'lace Miser with the Preslden srdentlf Irallv to reduce the tariff and If necessary, remove It entirely from all Imported articles that can be sold on a competitive basis with th product of trust nd monopolies. 2. Enact a Federal Incorporation lw. under which all corporations en gaged In Interstate trade may become Incorporated. That law should contain provision for visitation and examina tion almilsr to those now In the Na tional bank act and In the regulation of th Controller of the Currency.

Every such Federal corporation should be given rights, power and privilege In every state similar to those now en Joyed by National banks, fre from th narrowing, conflicting and oppressive statutory provisions and burdensome taxes that prevail In all of the state gainst foreign corporations doing ousines therein. The grinding stata law have frequently been the con trolling reaaon why corporation have organised local and subsidiary com paniea ana acquired their capital stock. Federal Corporation Exempt. L Remove every uch Federal cor poration from subjection to the anti trust act. In other word, expressly proviae mat tne provision of that statute shall not apply to Federal cor porations but shall continue to apply to those not availing of th Federal corporation act. Give to every Federal corporation the unrestricted and un- trammeled right to contract and to enter Into any kind of trade agree ment pertinent to It business. As a conslderstlon for such freedom Dro- vld that every such Federal corpora tion shall b required to pay Into the inlted fetates Treasury annually at leaat one-half of Ita net proflta. after providing ror all nxed charges. In terest payment, depreciation, main tenance, and a dividend say of ? per cent on all outstanding stock. In order to avoid the payment of dlvldenda on watered atock. provide that a department or the Government, a Federal corporation commission, shall have the right to determine to what extent the Issued stock of any such corporation la In excess of the fair value of all of Ita property. In this way there will be no statutory penalty on business progress and am bition, or on commercial genius. Cor porate officers will then continue with ncreaslng efforts to develop and en large their Industries and field of activity. (mrrninrsl Will Gala Profit. The Government will obtain through it share of th net profits a con stantly Incresstng revenue which soon should admit of the repeal or reduction of many of the onerous end unfair Federal Import duties and other taxes. In f.ict I believe that under such a law the Income of the Government would aoon grow to such proportions as to meet not only Its ordinary ex penditures but to permit the building of National roads and the dotting of the country with great parka and other public Improvements. Let the Government. Instead of fet tering or shacking the tremendous and limitless resources. energy. and strength of our industrial world, turn Its fruits Into paths of profit and use fulness for all of the people.

By twist and turna th McNamara case aalled slowly ahead today, weathering snags old and new. until the Inventory of th day disclosed at adjournment three sworn Jurors, eight talesmen passed for cause by both sides, and a 12th man passed by the defense, though till under examination by the state. James B.

Counsel for the defense, though maneuvering about tor awnno 10 n tain the atate of hi mind, regardles of prospective Jury duty, and to pin hlra to a definite expression as to the effect on hi mind of his reading about the case, finally abandoned tne iisn and passed him for cause, though here, too, th defense Informally expressed It Intention of using a peremptory challenge. Th next tangle or tne aay came when Burton B. Collin wa on tn stand, lie cam originally from Troy, N. Y., and Is a cousin of Cornelius V. Collins, who was prominently Identi fied with the contest waged by Presi dent Roosevelt for the control of the Paratoga convention, which nominated tlmson for Governor In New York State. Collins la the head of a tile and marble manufacturing plant here, and employs a hundred men. He disclosed t he fact that, as a member of the Mer chants' and Manufacturers' Association. he had contributed to fund otner man dues, but that he supposed It was to further the efforts of the association In Its contest for the open shop. Asked If h knew whether any funds had been used toward Investigating the Time disaster, he declared that he did not know, but that he would not have con tributed for uch a cauee. Collins said he had had difficulties with labor unions and wa prejudiced against them. ilia oninlon about the case simply ex tended, however, to the notion that the Times building was dvnamtted through the instrumentality of the unions, but h had no idea as to whether the Mc Namara were guilty or not. Personal Inquiry Disqualifies. rmmul for th defense delved deeper Into Collins' views as to the cause of the dlsster nd emerged finally with le Information that Collins had seen i twisted beam and crumpled girders .v.- aprackerl buildina. and tliis had strengthened the opinion he earlier had formed that a powerful explosive de stroyed It.

Judge Bordwell explained that he did ni mean hv this rullna- on Collins "to foreclose argument on the subject," and s-nnlii henr 1t either when the noint arose again, or at the convenience of counsel.

Ninety-Three: The Story of a Famous Name and How It Originated. The foremost dermatologist In France, Dr. Sabourand, of Paris, and Professor Unna. Hamburg, Germany, discovered that a microbe caused baldness. To pro-e their theory. Dr. Sabourand In fected a guinea pig with some of these microbes and In a comparatively ehort time the animal was denuded of every hair that was on Its body. Some eminent Mstologlsts and chem ists were employed by the United Drug no.. Boston. Mass.. to find the means of I destroying theBe microbes and a remedy that would create a new growm oi namr where the hair root bad not been en tirely destroyed. After month of study, experimenting and research work, they discovered what they claimed would do what wa demanded. To unquestionably prove their theory, 100 leading druggists, lo cated In as many different cities, were requested to each furnish the name of a responsible person suffering from falling hair and baldness. Each of these 100 person were furnished three bottles of th preparation with a re quest to give It a thorough trial and report results. Five of these people failed to report. Two declared they had been bald for years; that their hair follicles had long been closed, and their scalps were smooth and glossy. Ninety-three of th 100 sent in en thusiastic report, stated that they were delighted with th hair-restoring qualities of the preparation, and ex pressed sincere tnanas ror me wonder ful benefits brought about by Its use. In commemoration of this, the new preparation was named Rexall "93" Hair Tonic We sell this remedy with the dis tinct understanding that It ts free of cost to the user In every case where' It does not completely remove dandruff, stimulate the hair follicles, revitalize the hair roots, stop the hair from fall ing out, grow new hair and make th scalp free from Irritation.
