PRESIDENT AND THE TRUSTS
"The machinery of the govern
ment has been invoked against
the so-called Tobacco Trust.
The suits brought in New York
for the dissolution of this com
bine, which is said to be one of
the largest in operation through
out the country, give hints that
the policy of the administration
is not to be changed in dealing
with the octopuses. The plan
of the administration appears to
be to throw, if possiblb,the trusts
into the hands of the govern
ment receivers,who are ultimate
ly to dissolve them and again
place business upon a competi
tive basis.
If followed out there will be
witnessed the most gigantic bat
tle that the business interests of
this county have ever seen.
Millions of dollars are invested
in a concern like the tobacco
combine. The holders of its
stock will not be apathetic to pro
ceedings like the one brought by
the government yesterday. It
is said that the present case is a
test one, and should the attitude
of the government be sustained
the same policy will be pursued
against other alleged unlawful
combines which are accused of
violating the Sherman law.
"Another consequence of this
struggle may be that the govern
ment will find a way to bring
about the dissolution of tbe
Standard Oil Company. The
fight will probably be prolonged,
less the government is knocked
out in the first round that began
yesterday. It will be a long battle
of the government against the
trusts,and it will stir the political
waters deeply. Whether the
policies of the President, the
chief of which is the rounding
up and dissolution of the alleged
law-breaking trusts, are to be
sustained may become the pivotal
point in the {next President
ial campaign. If so President
Roosevelt will become the centre
about which the storm will rage.
Guarding against this outcome,
the organs of .the private and
trust interests may be expected
not to cease their persistent at
tacks upon the President nor to
lessen their venomous efforts to
discredit him."— EveningJournal.
FREE COUNTRY
Don't forget that your neigh
bor though he differs from you
politically may be just as honest
in his convictions as you, that
this is a free country where
freedom of opinion is one of the
biggest of tbe broad foundation
stones of our government, aud
there would be and en of that
form of government without it.
Be tolerant, therefore, or rather
not tolerant but rational,patriotic
and good natured. Stand by
your convictions aud let your
neighbor stand by his if so
disposed. Keep cool. Argue
politics if you will, but do so calm
ly and reasonably and bear this
fact always in mind, that just as
you have made up your mind un
alterably as to the way in which
you vote, ninety-nine hundredths
of the population has done the
same thing.

GIANT FIGHT BEGUN
National Movement Started to Get
Decision From U. S. Supreme Court
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 7th.—
That well-known men representing on
limited wealth are back of a movement to
get a dicision from the United States
Supreme Court on the constitutionality of
granting saloon licenses, a movement
which is to be made national by a cam
paign of education this summer, is the
announcement made by Charles E. New
lin, a business man of Indianapolis, who
is in Milwaukee with the expectation of
getting one of the test cases started io
Wisconsin.
The movement is one of the most
unique temperance crusades ever under
taken, it being Mr. Newliu's opinion,
supported by the decisions of four Indiana
circuit judges and the opinion of innum
erable attorneys, that if a test case is
brought before the Federal Court, tbe
decision will put every Baloon in tbe
United States out of business in tbe same
manner that it lias been declared impos
sible to legalize lotteries, gambling and
prize-fighting.
Fledges of financial support in fighting
the case made to Mr. Newlin by wealthy
men are said to be a part of tbe unwritten
bistory which lies back of the sensational
decision rendered by Judge Samuel R.
Artman, of the Boone County Circuit
Court, at Lebanon, Ind., last February.
Baloon Ken Fail to Appeal *
Assuied by these men that tbey will
guarantee the money with which to make
the fight iu the Federal court if a case is
brought to it, Mr. Newlin Btarted the
movement in Indianapolis; but, unfor
tunately for bis plans, he has been unex
pectedly successful in the lower courts in
every one of tue four cases brought in
Indiana, and the defeated liquor men
have refused to appeal.
Consequently, ou the advice of attor
neys, cases are to be started iu a number
of other states. With two addresses on
the Fourth of July, Judge Artman start
ed out on a lecture tour, which will take
him from coast to coast, and during which
he will speak once or twice each one of
the sixty-five days of his vacation iu de
fense of the ruling which caused an al
most national sensation.
Appeal will be taken on tbe first decis
ion unfavorable to those who are inciting
the cases and who bold that is not a ques
tion of temperance, but one purely of
law, and who predict that within ten
years they will succeed in getting a de
cision which will put every saloon in the
country out of busiuees.
The men behind the movement declare
they will keep up the fight until they
carry a case to the highest court or until,
if they canDot find a lower court to de
cide against them, and saloon men persist
in refusing to appeal, they have secured a
local decision in every circuit, which will
bave practically the same effect.
Part of Great Movement
That the case which led to the Judge
Artman decision was part of a national
movement to put saloous iu the same
poeitiou as lotteries, prize fighting and
gambling has not been generally kuown.
Mr. Newlin's interest in the legal etatus
of the saloon was first aroused in 1890 by
a United States Supreme Court decision
in tbe case of Crowley vs. Christenson,
which said: There is no inherent right in
a citizen thus to sell intoxicating liquor at
retail; it is nota privilege of a citizen of
tbe state or a citizen of the United
States."

"Although not an attorney, I was im
pressed by this decision and by a num
ber of others by state supreme courts,
and I compiled a pamphlet of these de
cisions and eent it out in 1903," said Mr.
Newlin. "I was surprised to find how
many people bad beeu thinking along
tbe same lines.
"Then I determined to test the matter
and employed a law firm. They told me
it was good law. I than conferred with
wealthy men and they were greatly inter
ested, and told me that if I could get a
case into the United States they would
assume the expense.
"With millions behind me, I went
home and called a conference of prom
inent business men, regardless of their
attitude on tbe temperance question. An
organization was formed.
"We entered a remonstrance against
tbe application of a grocer who wished to
open a saloon. There was absolutely
nothing against his character, and lie
was located in a saloon ward, so that the
point which we raised wss the only one
at issue. We appealed to the Circuit
Court. The saloon men took a change
of venae and the case went to Judge Art
man, of Boone county. His decision is re
garded as a masterpiece, and it created a
veritable sensation."
