THE GREATEST liEGAIj DECISION OF THE YEAH.
The Supreme Court, in the Standard Oil decision
last week, placed its judicial foot on all contracts or
combinations in "unreasonable" restraint of trade."
The two sections of the Sherman Anti-Trust law of
1890 which have now been definitely interpreted, are
as follows:
Section 1. Every contract, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy,' In restraint
of trade or commerce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, is hereby declared to be Illegal.
Every person who shall make any such' contract or
engage In any such combination or conspiracy, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding five
thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding
one year, or by both said punishments, in the discre
tion of the court.
Section 2. Every person who shall monopolize or
attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with
any other person or persons, to monopolize any part
of the trade or commerce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be punished
by fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, or by Im
prisonment not exceeding one "year, or by both said
punishments, in the discretion of the court.
Ever since this law was passed it was feared that,
if enforced, business could not be conducted In this
country. Why this in this country? Why this fear
was so greatly manifested, The Citizen cannot com
prehend. The Sherman act does not, and never did, destroy
Property, nor does it take away from Property any of
the rights which Property enjoyed previous to the
passage of the Sherman statute.
It will be admitted by all, that one of the great
est beneilts that Property has ever been able to be
stow is the benefit derived from combining and con
solidating with other property. By such combinations
and consolidations, with their union of capital, effort,
executive and administrative skill, and the saving
brought about by management on an enormous scale,
the production and distribution of commodities have
been made larger and wider and cheaper, and at the
same time the combined or consolidated properties
have increased their earning capacities to a very much
larger extent.
By such consolidation the country has been bene
fited through the building up of Its Industries. Con
solidation in business is merely the applicaton of the
old fable about the father, the son and the bundle of
sticks. The Standard Oil company a bundle com
posed of 33 separate sticks or companies, was In
finitely stronger than any one of those sticks or com
panies alone. Also It was a monopoly. And because
it was consolidated, it was enabled to produce and dis
tribute the same grade of commodity cheaper than
any other company not In a combination could pro
duce and distribute. But it happened through tho
evil genius of Mr. Rockefeller and his associates, that
the Standard Oil controlled the business or, In other
words, that It could and did UNREASONABLY re
strain trade in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman
act.
That Is why the Supreme Court has uphold the
decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals and ordered
the company within six months to discontinue busi
ness, place tho shares and control of Its subsidiary
companies In the hands of their actual owners, and
Is forbidden to continue its control over those sub
sidiary companies and the production and transporta
tion of its commodity.
The Citizen believes that this decision does not
attack or even threaten any big business simply be
cause It Is big. The fault of the Standard Oil com
pany lay not in tho fact that It has done and Is doing
business on an enormous scale. Its fault lies In the
fact that It has defied for years tho "normal methods
of Industrial development" and that it has acquired
greater economic power than any proper and legal
methods could ever have given it.
The decision Is a great victory for President Taft
and Mr. Wlckersham. There ought to bo an end
now to all test cases. Corporations know what the
law Is; their lawyers the ablest In tho country also
know what tho law Is. That they should bend their
legal talents to finding out how tho corporations can
break the law and "get away with It" seems a pity.
Further, It Is criminal. The Sherman act Is a crimi
nal statute. Let the violators of this act go to prison
and It would not be long before such violations would
cease. "Even a John D. Rockefeller would rather ad
Just his commercial practices to the provisions of the
Sherman act than go to Jail."

POSTMASTER EXAMINATION.
Will llo Held nt Honcsdulo on Sat
urday, Juno 10.
The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that on the
date named abovo an examination
will be held at Honesdale, Pa., as a
result of which it Is expected to
make certification to All a contem
plated vacancy In tho position of
fourth class postmaster of clas3 B
at Tanners Falls, Pa., and other va
cancies as they may occur at that
ofllce, unless It shall be decided in
tho Interests of the service to fill tho
vacancy by reinstatement. The com
pensation of the postmaster at this
office was ?83 for the last fiscal
year. Age limit, 21 years and over
on tho date of the examination, with
ship, tie Is obliged to leani the xet., where they took up land and
history of the flag, the scout s law, . became wealthy. Both the Brown
signs and signals, and to be able
to tie four standard knot3. He
then takes the scout's oath a3 fol
lows:
'On my honor I promise that I
will do my best to do my duty to
God and the country, to help other
people at all times, and to obey the
scout's law.
"He then receives his tenderfoot
badge, and is entitled to wear the
uniform.
"A tenderfoot must serve at least
one month before he Is permitted to
take the tests for the second-class
scout badge. During this time he
learns elementary bandaging and
first aid to the injured. He Is
trained In observation, In self-government,
In signalling in the Myer
and Morse code, methods of saving
life in case of drowning, etc.
He'must be able to cook porridge,
bacon, skin and cook rabbits, pluck
and cook birds, In the manner usu
ally followed in the camp.
"He learns tracking, lighting ana
care of fires, to know the sixteen
principal points of the compass, and
must have at least ?1 in a bank.
"After passing tests in these var
ious things he is awarded a second
class scout's badge.
"To secure his first-class scout
badge, he must pass certain harder
tests.
The idea underlying the award
of badges is to offer to the young
scout continual Inducements to fur
ther Improving himself. The object
Is to Instill Into every boy and en
courage an Idea of self-Improvement
Can a boy do all this in a
month?" asked the reporter
No," was the answer. "He only
learns a part of that In a month.
All that Is required to secure a sec
ond-class scout badge Is an elemen
tary knowledge of these subjects.
The tests are mainly for the pur
pose of weeding out the wasters,
non-tollers, and disturbing ele
ments."
Do you lay down any physical
requirements for admission into
the ranks of the boy scouts?"
No, except that a boy must be
able to take rather long hikes. He
must either be able to swim or run
a mile in a comparatively short
time.
If a boy who Is not physically
able to do the work of the boy scout,
and there Is a place in which he
can bo used as secretary or book
keeper, ho may under certain con
ditions become a scout. He can at
all events be a tenderfoot and have
his place in the patrol.
"How often does the patrol
meet?"
"There is no rules relating to
time or place of meeting but in most
cases the patrol meets one evening
a week for instruction, and this
instruction takes the form of talks
and practical demonstrations by
competent physicians on first aid and
bandaging, drills by captains of
militia, in fact instruction In spec
ial subjects by men specially train
ed for that purpose."
"What does It cost a boy to
join?"
"Every troop can decide what
fees there shall be. No scout, is al
lowed to beg. Every boy buys and
pays for his own suit."
"Is it for poor boys, too?"
"The patrol is so conducted that
a boy who is unable to buy his own
suit will receive one, and will be
given opportunities to pay for It at
his own convenience, or In some
cases patrols buy tho suits through
concerted action such as by enter
tainments." "How about a club-room?"
"No fixed meeting-place is re
quired, although the advantages of a
club-room are self-evident. While
It Is the object of the scout move
ment to have tho boys controlsjhem
selves, It is also the purpose of those
in control of the movement to see
that the meetings are both Instruc
tive and entertaining and that
nothing objectionable can by any
means be brought Into tho club
room." The boy scout movement as the
reporter caught it is "an attempt
to get close to nature."
"The primary Idea," he was told,
"Is to turn the boys into men cap
able of self-control."

A BUSINESS MlELODY.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise.
For when he marked the prices down
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main,
He marked still lower every price
And advertised again.
New York Morning Journal.
And when he advertised again
His rivals loudly swore
To see folks rush with might and main
To patronizo his store.
And while they sat In solitude
And saw him custom win,
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the shekels In.
Charlestown News.
And when he raked the shekels In,
And saw his fortune rislmr.
He took a goodly lot of tin
And kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink,
And demonstrate full plain
Tho more one pays for printer's Ink
The greater Is his gain.
Boston Star.
And when he had grown rich,
And everybody knew him,
His ads were multiplied,
That no one should outdo him.
For the secret of success,
The life of every enterprise,
Is not in the beginning,
Dut continuing to advertise.
The Hat, Cap and Fur Trade Review.
And when came knocking at the door
That monster, Death, so grim,
It found him "pulling for the shore"
While singing loud this hymn.
Now, " I can read my title clear
To munslons In the skies.
And bid farewell to every fear,"
For I did advertise.

Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti
