FOR ROY KRNOR OF ALASKA
,). F. A. Stuonc _
(il il.T IS I’KKSONAR
t ‘ fit I tv lawyers, unscrupulous business men. timid ex
ecutives and mistaken politicians are all rebuked in the
judgment of the United States Supreme Court in the case
of the Bathtub Trust.
’The defense in tin’s instance rested upon the contention:
I hat \viit'ii the Supreme Court in the Oil and '1'obaceo de
cisions took notice of ‘‘reasonable restraint" of trade it
practically nullified the Anti-Trust law. The Bathtubi
Trust operated on this theory. It now finds itself under;
conviction as a lawbreaker and facing a sentence of disso-j
Intion.
in none of the trust cases have the lawyers represent
ing monopoly been more defiant than those who spoke for j
the Bathtub conspiracy. The language used in their briefs!
and oral arguments was at once a challenge to the couit
and to tlie people. They were confident that they had
found a way to drive not only a coach and four but a v hole
procession of monopoly-harnessed bathtubs through the
people's law.
Misinterpreting the Oil and Tobacco decisions, they in
dulged a fine frenzy over the reasonableness of their trade
agreements. Misunderstanding the decision in tin* mimeo
gTaph case involving patents, they boldly claimed the right
under one law to violate another.
The court brings them to their senses. It denies their
right, with or without patents, to sell criminal indulgences.
It looks behind their price contracts with wholesalers and
retailers and discovers intent to violate law, intent to op
press the people, intent to make blank paper of its Oil and
Tobacco decisions and intent to cover oppression by out
rageous distortion of its own most solemn judgments.
In tbus bringing the Anti- Trust law down to date the
court does more than pillory a grasping trust and its im
}indent lawyers. It shows once more that with this criminal
law. as witli all other criminal laws, the degree of guilt is
to lie measured by the evident purpose of those who violate
it. In this instance that purpose was plain. It was self
confessed. It was doubly vicious because it involved not
only deliberate lawlireaking, but a cynical legal disregard
of the Supreme Court's most solemn utterances.
This was a civil case, the same as those relating to Oil
and Tobacco. The penalties prescribed are legal, financial,
industrial and moral. Can any one doubt what they would
have been if the proceeding had been criminal as against
individuals and prosecuted with the same vigor?
When we accept and act upon the theory that guilt is
personal and that those who are guilty know that they are
guilty, courts and people will have to endure less insolence,
less trickery and less oppression. If monopolists feared
the criminal law they would not rest their cases upon law
yers’ quibbles that amount to confession. They would not
defy tlie law. They would obey it. — New York \\ orld.
THE HE is NO WASTE
There is no waste material in the world. What is considered
wn.-te in one age is utilized in the next. Less than a decade ago
there was not much use for ordinary sand and sawdust. Today
the scientist takes these very ordinary substances and, combining
thorn with sea salt and coke, and after applying electrical energy
to them, he produces carbonundurn, one of the world’s greatest
abrasives. Those abrasives are now extensively used for finishing
and grinding the numerous parts in automobile manufacturing, the
greatest industry of modern times.
It is within the past year that science has announced that com
mon granite contains potash which is so necessary to a fertilization
of the exhausted soil of the East. It may take another year or two
to discover inexpensive ways o£ extracting the fertilizing elements
from granite, but when once done, the world will be enriched by
simply changing the composition of the rock; for nothing is ever
lost. The destruction of a grain of sand is inconceivable. Force,
energy, change, works the miracle, and force is but a law of irn
pulse as immaterial as mind. It is what some theorists call God.—

THE DOG
E-SUE dog is mankind's lirmest friend; as sue!) lie’s known
|gj|| to fame; to love, to follow and to defend his master is
his aim. When business in that line is slack, he strews
the lawn with bones; when carted off, he brings them back, j
with rags, dead hens and stones. Affection dwells in Carlo’s
eyes; love deeper than the sea; and in ids heart that love will
rise to dog's eternity. But when there’s no one to adore he
whiles away the hours by mussing up the lawn some more, and
scratching up the ilowers. Into the Alpine snows he leaps to
help some pilgrim there, and through the drifted, shining
heaps, he drags him by the hair. But when there are no Al
pine snows or dying strangers near, into the chicken yard he
goes and whips poor chanticleer. I’ve heard about a thousand
tales of Carlo’s noble deeds; and when at night he howls and
wails until my bosom bleeds, I try to think he’s not a fake,
Ids virtues I recall, but in vain—and so I take the shotgun from
the wall.—Walt Mason.
Nome, February 28.— There is much activity in the hard-rocki
line on Seward peninsula this winter, and many options on prom
ising properties have been taken by Outside capitalists.
A party of New York investors are investigating a quartz
proposition on Cooper gulch. At the 70 foot level they encoun
tered a ledge which assays on an average $00 to the ton. The
average assay from the surface down is $20 to tjie ton. The propo
sition looks good to the investigators, but they will do further
work before exercising their option.
The tin lodes on Ear mountain, in the I’ort Clarence district,
are looking well A large body of ore has been identified by an
expert as Cornish arsenical tin and wolfrite. The extent of the
discovery remains as yet unproved. John Biddel is the original
locator.
Washington, January 20 —Testifying before the Senate com
mittee on Indian affairs, Mrs. Ellen Gray, appointed to investigate
certain matters regarding the disposition of lands belonging to the
Crow Indians, made sensational charges against Secretary of the
Interior Walter L. Fisher and prominent senators and representa
tives.
Among other things Mrs. Gray charged that an Indian had
been murdered in order to get out of the way one who knew much
concerning the huge graft which senators and congressmen had
perpetrated with regard to Indian lands
She claimed in the committee that she could produce evidence
showing beyond any doubt that Secretary of the Interior Fisher
was connected with the giant steal that had taken place.
The committee room was crowded when Mrs. Gray began her
testimony, many evidently expected that a bolt was going to be
cast into the usual quietude of the proceedings of this committee.
But. quite evidently none expected that it would take the sen
sational nature that it did. When she began her accusations she
was interrupted several times, and the committee room went into
an uproar as soon as she continued, in spite of the effects made to
check her statements. The committee did not want to hear the
specified charges which she had to make, especially those so seri
ously involving Secretary Fisher were considered too grave to be
just then considered. But Mrs. Gray insisted upon having her say
which she concluded in a tumult in which many who had no connec
tion with the committee found themselves joining.
HEAVY OUTLAY FOR
NEW RUSSIAN NAVY
St. Petersburg, February 20 —
The Russian government will ap
propriate not less than $400,000,000

construction plans for the Russian
navy. This amount, it is stated,
will make Russia the second naval
power iu the world, and far in the
lead ot Germany and the United
States.
The outlay is admittedly a war
measure, and is viewed with con
siderable uneasiness in government
circles the world over.
