Montreal, and various parts of this state attended the centennial celebration this week, the church being restraining trade and thoae which are pernicious in their effect. Mr. Taft then thought that an amendment would have the good effect of making clearer to thoae business men who would obey the law the methods to be avoided. The President now believes an amendment unnecessary in the light of the Supreme court decisions. It is conceivable that those decisions might prove absolutely soul-satisfying to the President and yet leave the honest business man in hopeless darkness as to what methods be must avoid.

Your business man cannot read the text of the Sherman law and the decisions in the oil and tobacco cases every time he wants to organize a corporation for profit. If he could do so it would not avail him any more than it would his counsel. He simply must go ahead blindly and organise and contract at his peril. Mr. Tafts challenege to Mr.

Bryan to point out a case of wrong doing which could not be punished under the Sherman law as now interpreted, has been very ingeniously criticized by a correspondent in the New York Sun. He says: The real basis of the whole matter is w-hether or not, as the anti-trust law is now construed, it is possible for an honest man or an honest corporation desirous of obeying the law- of the land to know what is forbidden by that law. The repeal of the law would leave the matter of interstate buisness in a very unsatisfactory state so far as the powers of Congress are concerned, but its amendment is just as imperative today as it was when Mr. Taft made his Columbus speech. 3 Piece Pan Plush Parlor Suit.

He spoke in New York four years ago on the subject that has come so prominently to the front recently the perpetuation of representative government. Among other things he said: The pessimist is misled by the declaration of some, happily few in number, who hold that whatever the words of tbs constitution that instrument should be so construed as to make it mean what a majority of the people think at a given time it should mean.

He is also misled by the theory advanced by those who hold that Congress must be permitted to exert any governmental power whatsoever not expressly denied to it if that body deems that its exercise will promote "the general welfare. But such theories of constitutional construction find no support in judicial decisions or in sound reason, least of all in the final judgments of that tribunal whose greatest function it is to declare the meaning and scope, of the fundamental law-. The national government, it should ever be remembered, Is one of limited, delegated powers, and is not a pure democracy in which the will of popular majority as expressed at the polls at a particular time becomes immediately the supreme law. It is a representative republic in which the will of the people is to be ascertained in a prescribed mode and carried into effect only by appointed agents designated by the, people themselves in the manner indicated by law. It would be a calamity unspeakable if our instiutions and the sacred rights of life, liberty and property should be put at the mercy of a majority unrestrained by a written supreme law binding every department of the gov ernment, even the people themselves The New York Sun regrets that Mr Justice Harlan had not always spoken from the bench as wisely and as well as the foregoing.

There tain as has been urged by various codifiers in this country, then the Sherman act is the most monumental failure of its kind legislation has known in this country- The President has repeatedly warned business med that they must "square themselves with the terms of the act, the alternative being that we must take on State socialism and confer upon government the power to run every business. It is just conceivable that hat aYkard of directors of the corporation might not consider operations in restraint of trade and destructive of competition would prove to be the very ones the President has put under a hypothetical ban.

No one will pretend that the decisions in the oil and tobacco cases have rendered certain the meaning of the act regarding monopolies. No one will pretend that the court's use of the term was any clearer than the Presidents when he said "we did get along without monopoly and we can get along without it. At the common law the term monopoly was specifically applied to an excflisive privilege of trade created by state grant or: charter and the term is still sometimes so used.

Exclusive control of traffic constitutes a monopoly in the economic sense, whether acquired by state grant (as in the case of patents or copy-rights which are statutory exceptions to the common law' rule making monopolies illegal), by control of sources of supply by combination or concert of action, or by any other means.

The Groton Times and the Bennington Banner have taken up the matter of eligibility to the Legislature of prospective candidates.

They agree that former experience Bhould count in the selection of candidates. This is just as true in a sense of the legislative officials as it is of the innumerable officials under the civil service. The theory of civil service reform measures was based upon the idea that those who had beu tried and not found wanting should be retained in Office for the common good. The reason why the civil service reform doctrine cannot be applied iff all its rigor to legislative candidates is sufficiently obvious, but within limits, there is no earthly reason why the principle should not be applied in Vermont, where the Legislatures political complexion never changes and the only points of difference likely to arise are those of form rather than of substance. In this connection it may as well be recognized first as last that form in legislation is of vast importance; legislation of itself is a separate profession; it is not given to every Ezra Dawkins or Hiram Berry-patch to be a law giver for an enlightened common w-ealth.

Both Ezra and Hiram might agree to the general policy of a given set of proposed measures and still be utterly unable to frame them br to know when they were properly framed. The time wasted in seasoning up raw members and licking into shape good legislative material should be paid for by the pupil in service to the state. He owes it to the body politic just as a "West Point cadet or an Annapolis midshipman owes service to his country by way of recompense for his education. Further, it should be understood that re-election goes toa member, not because of his personal popularity, but by reason of the added benefit the state may derive from his experience in legislative matters. The initiative and referendum advocates would air- ily wave aside such frills and furbelows as legislative skill and exper- ienee.

If for no other reason than that Vermont wants to place the seal of her approval on anything the new disciples of the untried governmental I devices might disapprove, let it be I the case of each town to return to the Legislature the member who by his record is deserving of re-election. More Turst Busing. Prominence has been given to a letter signed by a number of citizens of Meriden, asking President Taft for an investigation of the sugar trust. A Yale classmate of President Taft and a gentleman "prominent in local civic reforms, are among the signers. These gentlemen tell the President that since the adjournment of Congress the price of sugar has nearly doubled, and that no reports have appeared in the public press of any shortage in the sugar crop and no good reason has been given for the increase in price.

Where have the good men who signed this statement been sleeping? Have they not heard that the beet shows that from the beginning of our State history the United States Sen again be questioned. i is Such misinformation Worthy of For the second year in succession the White River Railroad company has offered prizes for the best acre of potatoes grown in its especial territory and this year, it is understood, the competition has been particularly large and keen, and the fact that the yield of the acre that won the first prize was no less than 42-5 bushels of potatoes, is one of incalculable worth to the material life of the entire state. It is a result that the state publicity bureau and all the people should proclaim throughout all the land. Had such a thing happened in even the potato state of Colorado all sorts of money would havje been spent in its exploitation. When it is remembered that 250 bushels of potatoes is a good yield from an acre, even in a good season, then is it seen that this yield of the Rochester acre of 425 bushels is a notable one, and especially so when it is further considered how unfavorable for potatoes has been the current season.

It w-ould seem that this action of the White River Railroad company is deserving of the utmost commendation and imitation. It is a splendid way of advertising the state, for it is the presentation of a conclusive fact and a showing of the goods to those who want to be shown. The need of the hour in Vermont is the keeping of its young men and women at home and not have them leave the state as has been the rule heretofore, and in this connection it is pleasant to note that it is told that this prize winning acre of potatoes was grown by a young man, a student in the agricultural college of the University of Vermont.

In the early history af the State Governors frequently were reelected, Gevernor Chittenden served continuously for eleven years. Moses Robinson served a term and then Governor Chittenden held the office seven years more until his death- Isgac Tichenor held office for ten years, was retired for a year and then served another year.

Jonas Galusha sgerved as Governor for four years, 1809-13 and again for five years, 1815-20. Richard Skinner, Cornelius P. Van Ness and Samuel C. Crafts served three years each, William A. Palmer four years and Silas H.

Jennison six years. Previous to 1870 the term of office wag one year and for a period of upwards of' thirty years nearly every Governor had two terms. Beginning with the two-year term of Governor Stewart, forty years ago, no Governor has been reelected, and no Governor since Silas H. Jennison retired seventy years ago has held office more than two years. Now that the mountain chain di-vndes the State into two Congressional districts it is more natural that there should be a mountain rule, but it began long before there was such a division.

The result was Hoyt's Milk White Flag. I conceive that it (monopoly) is not sufficiently defined by saying that it is the combination of a large part of the plants in the country engaged in -J the manufacture of a particular product in one corporation. There must be something more than the mere union of capital and plant before the law is violated. There must be some use by the company of the eompara lively great size of its capital and plant and extent of its output, either to coerce persons to buy of It rather than of some competitor, or to eo-rre those who would compete with It to give up their business.

There must, in other words, be an element of duress in the conduct of its business toward the customers before mere aggregation of plant becomes an unlawful monopoly. It is perfectly conceivable that in the interest of economy of production a great number of plants may legit irately assemble under the ownership of one corporation. In such a case it either is not a trust, if the term involves unlawfulness, or it is a lawful trust. If a trust merely means a company which has assembled a large part of the manufacturing plant of any product. It must be borne in mind that in a country like this, -where there is an enormous floating capital awaiting in-.

vestment, the time within which com petition by construction of new plants can be introduced into any business Is comparatively short, rarely exceeding a year, and it is usually even less than that. Many enterprises have been organized on the theory that more aggregation or all or nearly all exisiting plants in a line of manufacture, without regard to economy of production. destroys competition. They have most of them gone into bankruptcy. Competitiou in a profitable business will not be excluded by the mere aggregation of many existing plants under one company, unless the company thereby effects great economy or takes some illegal method to avoid competition and to perpetuate a hold on the business According to Mr.

It would be interestong to trace the history of the custom that takes a Governor from the east side of the Green Mountains one year and from the west side at the next election. While it has no warrant in law to support the idea, it has become so firmly rooted that the custom in effect has all the force of a statute.
