Address by Ponnd.
ex-
Judge Pound then gave the address of
!he morning. After tracing the history of
th common law through Its successive
stages of being, ' shewing the process
through which It passed In order to attain
Its majesty, he continued. In part, only
excerpts of his address being given:
Superficially, then, the triumph of the
common law seems assured. Nevertheless,
Jurists are by no means certain that this
Is so. The most obvious danger, and the
ne most frequently adverted to. Is legis
lation. I cannot think, bowever, there Is any
real cause for apprehension from this quar
ter. I come to such a conclusion for two
reasons. In the first place, there Is little
In legislation that Is original. Secondly,
everything Indicates that codifications, as
such. Is still far remote.
To my mind, the real danger to the com
mon law Is In another quarter. Hitherto
the people have been with It. Today, for
the first time, the common law finds itself
srrayed against the people; for the first
time. Instead of securing for them what
they most prise, they know It chiefly as
something that continually standa between
them and what they desire. It cannot be
denied that there Is a growing popular
dissatisfaction with our legal system.
There Is a feeling that It prevents every-

hoards, with summary administrative and
Inquisitorial powers are called for, and
"ourts are distrusted.' Partly, of course,
this Is due to Impatience of thorough search
for the truth, exact ascertainment of the
facts and strict Justice. When everybody
may learn nil the facts In ten minutes
from the morning paper, why should It take
them? But In large part this dissatisfac
tion has a real basis and 'Is well founded.
No amount of admiration for our tradi
tional system should blind us to the ob
vious fact that It exhibits too great a re
spect for the Individual, and for the ln-
twtfht wialtlnn In which OUT legal and
political history has put him and too little
respect for tha needs of society, when they

criticise these decisions. As the law
stands,- I da not doubt they were rlghtlv

tha expense of the right of society to stand
1 between a portion of our population and
oppression. This right of the Individual
and this exaggerated respect for his right
are common-law doctrines. And this
means that a struggle is in progress be
tween society and the common law; for
the Judlclul power over unconstitutional
legislation Is In the right line of common
law Ideas. It Is plain consequence of the
doctrine of the supremacy of law, and has
developed from a line of precedents that
run back to Magna Charts.
Men'a Views are ( kaageri.
Men have changed their views as tn the
relative importance of the individual and
of society; but the common law has not
changed. Inoeed, the common law knows
Individuals only. In the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, when the theory of
the state of nature was dominant, this
feature of our legul system made It popu
lar. But today the Isolated Individual is
no longer taken for the center of the uni
verse, we see now that he is an abstrac
tion, and has never Had a concrete ex
istence. Today, we look Instead for
liberty through society. We ho longer hold
that society exists entirely for the sake
of the Individual. We recognize that so
ciety is In some wise a coworker with
each In whst lie is and In what he does
and that what he does la quite as much
wrought through him by society as
wrought by himself alone. To parody
well known formula, we are not so much
concerned with tne liberty of each limited
only by the like liberties of all, as with
the welfare of each, achieved through the
welfare of the whole, whereby a wider
and a surer liberty Is assured to him
The common law, however, is concerned,
not with acclal' righteousness, but with
individual rights. it tries questions of
the highest social Import as mere private
Controversies between Joe pne and Bloh-
ard Iwe. Ana ihie compels a narrow and
one-sided view, aa men loot upon mess
nnestlons at nresent.
Our criminal nw i a growing c.time oi
nooular discontent with the legal system
Mut the ditfk-ultv here again is exaggerated
respect for the Individual. Procedure, civil
and criminal, naa neen contentious witn
us rrom tne beginning, rnis respect ror
the individual keeps It so. The common
law renders no service today by standing
full armored before Individuals, natural or
artlliclul, that rreed no defense, but sally
from beneath Its aegis ta Injure society.
What ta the Limit f
How far does our legal system contain
the power lo meet these new conditions?
We must admit that it has shown a mar
velous power of regeneration In the past.
The problem, therefore, of the present
Is to lead our law to hold a more even
balance between Individualism and col
lectivelam. We must temper Its extreme
Individualism to meet the Ideas of the
modern world. More than this, we cannot
do without casting adrift from our Im
memorial system of administrating justice,
and more we ought not to aeek to tlo.
In the exaggerated form which this In
dividualism of our legal svsieni some
times takes it Is undeniably impracticable,
archaic and mischievous, yet with all its
faults It is a Ionia and aalulary doctrine.
The whole Is no greater than the sum of
Its parts. The community Is not likely to
be more active In maintaining right and
repressing wrong than the Individuals who
compose It. And If the Individuals who
are charged under our legal system with
the maintenance of their own rights are
too busy or too laxy or too indifferent to
carry out this duty. Is the community
likely to prove more diligent or efficient in
ao doing for theuiT .
We talk much and glibly of "the people"
In the abstract. What we need to do is
as does the common law, to talk of the In
dividual In the concrete. The rights of
the people are the duties of Individuals.
Hence this same obstinate Individualism
of the common law which makes It lit so
HI In many a modern niche may yet prove
a necessary bulwark against an exagger
ated and enfeebling Collectivism.

Kate is a cheat. She grants us the power
to wish, but not the power to be. She gives
to him who hath and takes from h m who
hath not; and thus it comes that, in spite
of all, we are what we are.
Considering the causes that determine
what each Individual shall 1, Mr. Feck put
first the law of transmission, herdlty; and
second, circumstances or environment.
These two powers In a mighty combination
govern human lives with the hand of. a
master.
It Is the honored distinction of our pro
fesslon that its members are ministers and
conservators of the law. and that to their
hands is committed the administration of
Justice. That majestic conception which
we call the state stands ror an ini is "r.i
snd all that Is possible in the aspirations
of men. but It attains only such complete
ness as finite wisdom can aevise anu
shape. It strikes with the weapon It
knows best force that mighty argument
which compels, though It may not con
vince. We must take life that life may be
saved: but let us not forget that the man
marked with the fatal tendency to crime
flnris it Imrrfer than we know to resist the
annetite that crime alone can satiate. It Is
mv to rh i' that one can resist his temper
omental tendencies if he only will. Tea.
but he can't will. The strongest motive Is
nlwavs that which seems strongest to him
who has to decide upon It. and thus we get
back to the temperament which looks upon
motives and upon actions with such eyes
as nature has given It.
T think nothing can be more pathetic than
the struggles of one who sees the weakness
of his own nature and Is irylng to get
free, (Jiir boasted freedom to do us we

In his 'cage. We praise-the active, biistling
fellny who crowds to the front, because It
is his nature to crowd: but for him who is
weary all the days of his life we have
only the kick, the cuff end the harsh
voice of the policeman bidding him to
move on. Notice the man whose skull (its
too closely. His brain Is pinched and his
mind cannot exoand. It Is his fate to be
dull and stupid and to he laughed at
when he knows only too well that It Is not
a laughing matter. Temperament has got
the upper hand of him. But nature has
her revenges. The dunce at school some
times grows up to be n respected citizen,
and. as we have all noticed, la frequently
elected to office.
After diBcutxiing the criminals and trans
mitted tendencies of their progeny, Mr.
Pack said:
Society need jiot expect to be redeemed
while criminals freely breed and rear their
sin-marked progeny In the cellars of the
modern Babylon. The problem Is, how lo
make environment lietter; how to apply the
forces of circumstance agairmt tne In
herited tendency of wrong-doing, 'i Ills Is
what society must set itself to do; lo oblit
erate the brute forces that descend from a
brutish ancestry, by letting in upon tlierti
the sweet but mighty In due nee of spiritual
things. You and I have natures that rise
or sink as they aretoucnod by good or evil
innuemc.
Certain temperaments thrive best In
Certain climates and localities; and so we
have an English temperament and a German
temperament, and characteristics that mark
each nation and region of the earth. They
j blend and mix. the type changes but doea not
die. Beef-eating races cannot help differing
from those whose i rice, but the wis
est philosopher cannot tell why. Even in
matters of religion temperament Is a con
trolling power. The Latin and Celtic races
seem to be naturally Catholic, the fluxon
naturally Protestant. The one Is poetical,
emotional, artistic, and Its nature is re
ceptive to the gorgeous beauty and magni
ficence of the Catholic ritual. The other
Is practical, self-reliant and Independent,
end Instinctively prefers the more simple
forms of Protestantism.
The environment of today Is In the blood
tomorrow, aa the unsluinbering forces go
forward in their Appointed way. These
processes have made, and are making, a
temperament which Is distinctly American.
Our condition la one of constant change,
of curious mixings and modifications of
former types. We are going through a
formative period, like that which the Eng
lish people experienced SeD years ago, when
Norman and Baxon and Dane were being
Infused into one people.
YV hy does New England naturally take
to strong government and the southerner
to Its opposite? I think I have a right to
say It is temperamental, and partly, if you
will lei me coin a word, environmental.
The problem Is: How shall we get nearer
together? That la our national question.
It Is the question which the lawyers of the
United States must help to solve.

of
ST. IjOIIR. Nov. 31 Inquiry Into the
Standard. Kubllc and Watera-Plerce Oil
comimnles In Missouri was resumed today
before Special Commissioner A. It. An
thony. This will be the last hearing con
ducted In fU. Louis until after the supreme
court has decided whether Attorney Gen
eral Hadley has the right to compel the
oil companies to produce their books or
make the officers testify.
William A. Morgan, former manager of
the Standard Oil company at Sedalia, Mo.,
testifying, said that the Standard Oil com
pany Issued orders to Its agents to under
sell competitors at all hasards. He as
serted that upon one occasion he was sup
piled with false gauges to be used In the
attempt to "drive the enemy from the
neld."
Morgan's testimony created a sensation
and tha Standard Oil attorneys offered fre
quent and vigorous objections.
Morgan testified that lie went Into the
employ of the Standard Of! company Janu
ary 15, 1K3S. as a salesman. Soon afterward
he was made a resident manager for the
company, with headquarters at ueoana. in
his Jurisdiction was Included Randolph,
Sheridan, Howard. Cooper and Benton
counties. He was not permitted to sell
oil outside of his territory.
Gets Bnalneaa of Competitors.
His reports were sent to O. W. Mayer,
who had charge of the Standard Oil Inter
ests In Missouri.
"When I took charge of the Sedalia of
fice," said ilia witness, "the Standard Oil
company controlled 6rt or 60 per cent of
the business In that territory.
"Inside of a short period I had taken
the business away from competitors and
the Standard, before I severed my connec
tion with It in inoi, controlled 90 per cent
of the trade In the Sedalia territory.
"I was told to go Into the field of our
enemy and destroy our competitors," con
tinued Morgan. "I was ordered to sell all
the goods possible to cut prices wherever
necessary. The Waters-Pierce company
sold within eighteen miles of Sedalia and
I was not allowed to go Into their terri
tory." ,
Morgan was then asked to tell ir he knew
of other methods resorted to by the Stand
ard besides cutting prices to get business
or kill off competition.
He answered that tha company furnished
him with barrel gauges from which he
would be able to show a customer that a
competitor sold "short barrels."
"Did you use those gauges?"
"I did not."
"Why?"
"Well. I did not think It proper to use
them."
"What were your . Instructions?"
Refase to lit tsanges.
"I was told by Mr. Mayer to use the
gauges only In rxtreme cases: that Is,
where a competitor could not be driven out
by other methods or where other argu
ments fatted to Induce the merchant to bay
from us."
"To what extei t -'Wiiuld these gauges
Indicate a barrel of oil was short when
applied to a barrel sold by a competitor?"
"From four to -I've gallons." -"Why
did you Tfrfuse to carry ooit .In-,
structlons sent to you In regard to these
A.. 1 ' .
gauges? .
"I had personal reasone."
"What were they 7"
"Well, because I thought these gauges
were being used with fraudulent Intent.
In the first place good salesmen could show
by sharp manipulation that barrels were
short."
George. S. Schulte of St. Louis, editor
of a trade paper, testified In regard to
statistics offered by him on oil prices In
Missouri towns showing that the price of
oil was manipulated in an arbitrary man
ner. Commissioner Anthony then announced
that the hearing would be resumed to
morrow at Joplln, Mo., and the session
adjourned.
Subpeenas for Oil Magnates.
NEW YORK. Nov. 23. Subpoenas Were
issued today for John D. Rockefeller. Henry
II. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler and other
financiers to appear as witnesses on the
two suits pending in Missouri to oust the
Standnrd Oil company and two other oil
companies from doing business In the state.
The subpoenas directed the witnesses to
appear on December i before Frederick H.
Sanborn of this city, who was sppolnted
by Governor Folk to act as commissioner
for the state of Missouri. The others sum
moned" to appear are John D. Archbold.
Wade Hampton, Walter C. Teagle, James
A. Moffett, W. F. Cowan, George B. Wil
son, James R. Taylor, Charles L. Nichols,
Edward T. Bedford. Walter Jennings,
Wesley H. Tllford. Charles M. Matt. Frank
Q. Barstow, H. Clay Pierce, Silas H. Paine.
Richard B. Tlnaley, Roliert McNall and
Howard Page. The stilts were filed in
Missouri on March 20. 1M6, and Include
besides the Standard Oil cumany the Re
public Oil company and the Waters-Pierce
Oil company.
The first suit was brought by Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri to exclude the
three defendant corporations from ail cor
porate rights nnd privileges of the state
of Missouri ii nd that their franchises,
rights, authority, licences and certificates
to do business under the laws of the state
of Missouri be declared forfeited. The
ground for this action was an alleged pool
or trust agreement among the three com
panies to regulate the prices paid by retail
dealers In Missouri. It was charged also
that the companies siilfled the public Into
the belief that they were three separate
and distinct corporations, but that they
divided up the territory of the state, each
agreeing not to sell on the other's ground.
Thla suit la In the supreme court of Mis
souri. The second suit Is very similar to
the flint, but Is brought In the circuit court
of Jackson county, Missouri.

proposition had been accepted, which It
seems to me Is an Important factor," con
tinued Attorney Lehmann, "was sent to
Burton at Washington, D. C. after Har
lan had returned to St. Ixniis.
'Had Senator Burton at any lime pre
vious to the receipt of this notification
sent a telegram calling off negotiations
there would have beep no offense. Even
If upon the receipt of this letter he had
replied he would have nothing to do with
the matter, he could not have been Indicted
on this charge.
"It waa not until h had passed this
point; until after receiving this notification
he had answered It hy accepting, that he
became bound by his agreement."
When Attorney Lehmann had concluded
Assistant I'nlted States General Itobb
started to reply to the argument advanced,
but Judge van Devanter Intervened by
saying: "In the light of my understand
ing of the case. I do not think It neces
sary for you to reply."
Judge van Devanter then entered Into
an extended oral opinion concerning the
motion to quash the counts of the Indict
ment, and overruled It.
Following Judge van Devanter's opinion,
Postofllce Inspector Price and Thomas B.
Harlan were placed on the stand by the
defense. As objections made by the prose
cution were sustained by the court to com
paratively all questions asked by Attorney
Lehmann, the witnesses were excused
without much delay.
' Court then adjourned until tomorrow
morning.
MURDER FOLLOWS ELECTION
Praada In Sw York May Have Ceased
ratal Fight In Club
Room.
NEW YORK. Nov. 23 -Paul Kelly, leader
of the notorious east side band of that
name, may himself be a victim of the
shooting affray In "The Naples," early
Thursday, In which William Harrington
was murdered. A bullet hole was found
In a hat believed to have been worn by
the leader and from sources which the
police have not made known. It has been
Intimated that Kelly Is either dead or liv
ing In a critical condition In a hiding place
provided by one of his associates. ,
Election frauds are believed by the police
to' have caused the murder of W. F. Har--rlngton'm
the Little Naples dance hall and
the probable fatal Injuries of Abraham
Juckerman, who was found with a frac
tured skull some distance away from the
Little Naples.
The dance hall Is at 57 Great Jones street
and Is conducted by Paul Kelly, leader of
n eaat side gang. From papers found on
the dead man, and from Information ob
tained from nine of the dancers, two of
whom were arrested after the dance, the
police learned that the quarrel started over
election matters. One of the prisoners had
marked ballot for the last election In his
pocket. Harrington was killed In the bar
room of the Little Naples during a re
volver battle which left the floors spotted
with blood and riddled the pictures on the
wall. Bartender E. 8. Scott, one of those
under arrest, sa)d that the light started
when four members of the Liberty asso
ciation, which is hostile to the Kelly gang,
entered the room after midnight. One of
these men, Scott says, ordered drinks for
the whole crowd. When every one was
drinking he Insolently pounded with his
list on the bar and exclaimed: "My best
friend was shot here Tuesday morning.
Are there any of you here who know how
to shoot? If you do, I'd like to have you
begin."
The challenge was accepted and In the
battle which followed the police say that
fifty shots were fired. When the officers
rrlved Harrington was dead on the floor
and all the others, Including the wounded,
In the dance hall had fled, after turning out
the lights. The dead man's dog was found
crouched over his master's body and whin
ing.
The police say that the friend of the
Liberty gang whose name waa made the
pretext for the tight Was John Ratta, who
was wounded at the Utile Naples last
Tuesday morning. The police also believe
that a quarrel over the division of election
money was the original cause of the fight.

BALFOUR MAY RESIGN TODAY
Eimor that the Premier Hit IVchW to
Bring Ministry to Clone.
PLANS AN APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY
Relief that at End of Cabinet Keaslun
Today Alt Resignations Will
Re Snhmllted to the
King.
LONDON. Nov. if Tremendous activity
developed In political circles today conse
quent on the circulation of a well founded
report that Premier Balfour had decided
to bring his ministry to it close snd to
directly or Indirectly appeal to the country.
Rumors regarding the resignation of the
cabinet and the dissolution of Parliament
have been thick for three months past, but
when two of the leading government organs
today, almost In the same terms "sug
gested" the Immediate resignation of the
premier on account of the unmenduble
breach In the unionist party over the fiscal
question, the "suggestion" was looked upon
as having been Instigated by Mr. Balfour
knowledge that prior to the publication of
himself. This was strengthened by the
the editorials Mr. Balfour met certain In
fluential persons at his official residence In
Downing street. These two facts, when
coupled, led to the belief that the premier
had Intimated at the conference his Inten
tion to resign, and as he had Just returned
from a visit to King Kdward at Windsor
castle It was believed that his majesty had
been Informed olf Mr. Balfour's Intention.
Beyond this there is not tile slightest offi
cial confirmation of the report.
Resignations Expected Today.
All political Interest now centers In the
cabinet meeting to be held tomorrow, at
which It Is understood the situation will
be discussed. Some well Informed persons
go so far as to say that Mr. Balfour will
go from the meeting to King Kdward with
the resignations of himself and the other
members of the cabinet. Conservative snd
unionist papers ore In favor of the resigna
tion of the cabinet, which will place the
liberals on the defensive In case Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman consents to form a
cabinet, but the radicals say that the resig
nation will only mean dissolution, as Sir
Henry, if requested to form a ministry,
would certainly decline to do so until the
verdict of the people became known. The
liberal papers point out that while Mr.
Balfour may attempt this tactical move
"they are confident It will fall on every
side and that therefore the dissolution of
Parliament is believed to be Imminent."
There is no thought, however, that a
political campaign will be forced prior to
the beglnnlnu; of the year, with the elec
tions somewhere about the end of January.
I nionlsta I'rod Premier.
The Associated Press understands that
forces have been at work Inside tho party
for some tlmo to bring about the present
situation. One prominent unionist recentiy
wrote to the premier asking whether It
would be considered disloyal if ho Intro
duced early In the next session a resolution
bringing the whole fiscal question squarely
before the house. He told the premier that
the unionists are tired of being twitted
concerning their attitude on the fiscal ques
tion on the last term, when they repeatedly
declined to take part In debates or divi
sions In deference to the wishes of Mr.
Balfour.
The premier's reply was not given out,
but the Associated Press understands In
any event the unionists intend to push such
a resolution, which they believed would
mean the deXeat jt the government.
Tlie political situation was . so radi
cally altered during the last week 'that .even
the government supporters no longer argue
that tin Balfour has a sufficiently united
party at his back to again meet Parliament
with the object of Initiating any legislation
to the public advantage.
The premier's appeal to the unionists at
New Castle a week ago to unite on tits
fiscal policy has not met with much suc
cess. On the contrary, Joseph Chamberlain,
the most powerful member of the union
coalition, directly Joined issue with his
chief by a speech at Bristol Tuesday, call
ing on unionism to rally to the support of
his own more drastic fiscal proposals, which
Include a GO-cent tax on grain.
Party Division Marked.
The clevage of the party was thus more
markedly accentuated and many union
ists politicians hold that no good purpose
could be served by a longer retention of
efflee and that tha weakness of the party
will only be further accentuated by a per
petuation of the existing rivalries between
the two sections.
A cabinet meeting has been culled for to
morrow. This will be only the second held
this fall and the fact that there have been
so few conferences between the mlnisteis
Is taken as another indication of the imln
ence of a change of government.
On the btock exchange a definite an
nouncement of the resignation of the cabi
net is expected at any time and the whole
market today was flat in consequence.
The liberals are Inclined to resent Mr.
Balfour's resignation at the present mom
ent. They contend that the premier should
remain In office a few weeks longer and
himself dissolve Parliament and appeal to
the country. The lilierals see no reason
why the present opposition sluiuld put them
selves to the Inconvenience of forming a
government In the dark without knowing
what forces they will command in the new
Parliament and they object to what they
designate as Mr. Balfour's "tactical man
euver," whereby the liberal attack would
be turned to a defense liefore election, and
Mr. Balfour would be given a free hand
to arrange with Mr Chamberlain for con
certed action agajnst the liberal pally.
