Anti-Trust Law A Mistake.
The Sherman anti-trust law
and the interstate commerce
commission are mistakes , according -
cording to President Iladley of
Yale university , who. in an in
terview on the "Ethics of Cor
porate Management , " in the last
North American Review , puts
himself on record as follows :
Personally , I am one of those
who look with serious distrust
on each extension ol politica
actively. I believe that the in-
tersiate commerce law did more
to prevent wise railroad regu
lations than any other event in
the history of the country. ]
think that the courts woulc
have dealt with our industria
problems better than the } ' have
done if the anti-trust act nevei
had been passed.
I have gravely doubted the
wisdom of some of the more re
cent measures passed by the na
tional government. But I can
not shut my eyes to the fac
that these things are what busi
ness men must expect unless
business ethics is modified to
meet existing conditions.
Industrial corporations gre\\
up into power because they me
these needs of the past. To
stay in power they must mee
the needs of the present am
arrange their ethics accordingly
If they can do it by their own
voluntary development of the
sense of trusteeship that is the
simplest and best solution. Bu
if not , one of two things wil
happen , vastly increased lega
regulations or state ownership
of monopolies.
In the beginning ot his article
the president of Yale indirectly
confers the title "monarch" on
President Roosevelt.
Monopolies are no new things
history shows that more than
2,000 years ago there was 1I
Standard Oil company of Asia
Minor and a United States Steel
corporation of Sicily , s a y s

Nebraska on the farm and these
to t the number of about fifty were
entertained at dinner. This was

. followed by an informal reception
in the evening , at which time a
similar number of the friends
, .
from the city were received.
The rooms were prettily decor
ated with plants , cut flowers and
smilax tied with yellow ribbon ,
and a table was spread with a
number of beautiful and useful
gifts from friends at home and
abroad.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones , who are

President Peter Youngers ,
Treasurer 1C. 2. Russell and
Secretary W. R. Mellor were re
elected and the State Pair wil
be held the first week in Septem-
.bqr'as usual. The treasurer's re
port showed a balance of cash on
hand ot $37,406.12.
Now that the suspense is over
with reference as to who wil
build the county bridges this yea :
the people can breath easier. It
reality nobody has accomplishes
any thing and we have simply ha <
another public airing of privat
grudge that does nobody any goo (
It was not a question as to whethe
or not the Gilligan bridge com
pany had been robbing the conn
ty ; ii was a question as to whethe
or not the county should abide bj
the terms of a contract that ha <
been signed , sealed and delivered
The mistake , if any , was mad
when the contract was made
Nothing is more sacred in th
eyes of the law than the obliga
tions of a contract , and the conn
ty could surely have been compelled
polled to fulfill the terms of an
botiii'fidc contract that it had
made with the Gilligan company.
Had it refused to have done so a
longand < expensive law-suit would
have followed and what the coun
try might have saved by build
ing its own bridges , would have
been expended in attorney's fees
ud court costs and there could
ave been no gain to the county.
Mie board is censured bv many
or its action but we believe that
his censure is unwarranted. The
lands of the board were tied by
previous contract that the inein-
icrs could not ignore. The prcs-
nt board will have its opportun-
ty when the contract expires-
.Mien the members may use their
udgcmcnt in the matter and can
nake it possible for the county
o build its own bridges. Person-
lly we would like to see the ex
periment tried fully and fairly.

rom Falls City to Elberta , Ala
bama.
On Wednesday morning. Jan-
tary 'Jth we started for home
igain , Onkei Bob took us an
other road going through thcter-
) cntitied timber. There the
term done the most i mage.
Some people mav not know the
lifference between terpentined
ind round timber , so I will de-
, cribe it a little. Trees that arc
erpentined arc cut out a big in
cision below the tree and bigger
rees has two or three cuts , that
s the reason so many trees are
blown down. Near Foly the last
ailroad station on the F. M. R.
. all the timber was terpentined.
Mr. Cob. has ( JO,000 acres of
and to sell but he thought he
would get the money for the
erpentine and afterwards for the
umber and then sell the land for
$25 per acre. He has not sold
tnich of his land yet because the
Baldwin county Colonisation
company has nicer land and sell
t for $16 dollars an acre , and
mild good roads besides which
Mr. Cob don't do.
When we got to Foly we took
the noon train to Mobile. About
thirty miles from Foly near Bay
Minnettc , the laud gets hilly and
between Bay Miiinette and Mo-
jilc no nice land can be seen any-
nore. We got to Mobile just bo-
: orc dark , so we could see what
: he storm had done. We Stcn
: wo big sailboats landing on the
Iry * ground which was washed on
the shore ; also a few steamboats
aying in the mud , and thousands
of sawlogs laying around which
the storm washed ashore. Now
o saw millers are pulling them
out of the mud with little steam-
> oats and long ropes. The depot
it Mobile is fixed up again , also
: he docket.
In the city ofMobile the effects
of the storm couldn't be seen
much anymore. The business at
Mobile increases rapidly. Many
big steamboats laid at the harbor
waiting to yet unloaded. Trainloads -
loads of banannas and cocoanutft
arrive at Mobile every week. Mr.
Bob told me that Pensecola on
the other side of Pereido Bay
which is onlv twenty miles from
his place , do a big business and
increases rapidly , and it is always
a good market for the farmers
produce. Mr. Bob. likes the
country so well that he told me
if he could get the nicest and
best improved eighty acres in
Richardson county for nothing he
would not go back any more.
Now if I look at my children
when they go to school , hea\y
clothing , overshoes , overcoats ,
caps pulled down over their ears ,
and down at Baldwin county ,
Alabama , the children run around I
barefooted. At Nebraska the
ground is frozen and snow on the
ground and at Rlberta , Alabama ,
people work in the field every
day. What a difference in this
world. Hoping that I will be
able to live in Elberta , Alabama
next year.
I remain your Friend ,

caused buyers to stay nt home ,
and the week closed with n loss of
10 to 25 cents on stock nnd feeders.
This loss is being recovered todny ,
with n bolter attendance of buyers.
