DECISIONS OF
SUPREME COURT
(Continued from Page 1.'
ficiently broad and indefinite to re
quire Judicial construction to settle
their meaning. The early decisions
under the law can not be said to have
been fortunate. The decision in what
was known as the sugar trust case —
the Knight case —was really a retro
grade step and one which seemed to
limit much the operation of the sta
tute. It encouraged the organization
of combinations which the same court
has since found violate the statute.
Indeed, some law officers of the gov
ernment did not hesitate to say that
under this decision there was little
hqpe of reaching the evil aimed at
through federal action. It has re
quired twenty years of litigation to
make the statute clear. But now it
is clear.
What Decision Means.
“I shall not attempt to give it a
close, lawyer-like interpretation, but
1 think it Is not departing from the
declaration of the court to say that
they find any contract in restraint of
trade, made for the purpose of ex
cluding competition, controlling
■ prices, or of maintaining a monopoly,
in part or in whole, is contrary to the
statute and is subject to Injunction
and Indictment under thia statute in
the federal courts where It affects in
terstate trade.
“I repeat again that in spite of all
the denunciations that we have heard
of the decisions of the Supreme court
in the Standard Oil and the Tobacco
cases, there is not one who has criti
cised them that can formulate a con
tract in restraint of trade that ought
to come within the statute that does
not come within it under the decision
of the Supreme court.

Fortunate Experience of Lady Who
Obtained Relief From Serious
Trouble by Taking a
Woman's Tonic
WILDOMAR, Cal.—Says Mrs. F. S.
Mills, of this place: "I had a mishap,
which was followed by inflammation
and I suffered with intense pain for
more than a week.
I positively believe I would have
died had it not been for Cardul, the
woman’s tonic.
I don’t think any one can recom
mend a medicine more highly than I
can Cardul. I never saw a remedy
which strengthens one so rapidly.
“When I began to take Cardul I
could not stand on my feet. After
taking two bottles, I was cured, and
now I weigh 165 pounds. I am glad
to recommend a medicine with so
much merit”
If womanly troubles have worn vou
out, made you feel weak, sick and
miserable, and able to see only the
dark side of things, brighten up by
getting back your health.
Take Cardul, the woman's tonic.
This well known woman’s medicine
has brought health and happiness to
many thousands of weak and ailing
women. Why not to you?

fore restrainta of trade, when the
same court had said that this could
not be properly done, because con
gress had evidently not Intended to
Include such a limiting word In the
statute. This Is not fair to the court.
It 1s true that the court, in the early
days of the construction of the stat
ute. had said that It could not limit
the statute in effect by exoluding from
Its operation what was deemed rea
sonable at common law. But as other
cases arose it found It necessary to
make exceptions to the literal opera
tion of the words “restraint of trade,”
and It did so by excepting what was
minor, or Incidental, or indirect, and
Including only those case where the
chief object of the contract or com
bination was the restraint. In doing
so the courLsald that It must give the
statute a reasonable construction and
not one leading to absurd or ridicu
lous results.
What combinations or arrange
ments can escape under this inter
pretation that any sensible man would
wish to have condemned? Did the
court not condemn the standard Oil
Co., the father of all trusts. In the
history of which every form of crim
inal Illegality was practiced? Did It
not, on the other hand, condemn the
tobacco trust, of much later origin
and framed under the advice of cun
ning counsel tor the very purposees
of evading the condemnation of the
statute and at the same time securing
and enjoying the monopoly the fram
ers of the statute intended to prevent
and punish?
"Let me renew against the Invita
tion to any of the vociferous critics
of the decision of the supreme court
to use their legal imaginations and
state the facts of a case not con
demned within the rule of construc
tion put upon the statute by the su
preme court, but included within theli
construction of it, which reasonable
men would think it wise or proper to
make criminal.
“The decision of the supreme court
as it grows to be understood In the
near future will be a signal for the
voluntary breaking up of all combi
nations In restraint of trade within
the inhibition of the statute, and will.
I hApe, lead to a complete revulsion
of feeling on the part of business mtn
of this country and to a clear under
standing by them of the limitations
that must be Imposed by them upon
anv business combinations made by
them in the future. The operation of
the statute has illustrated the slow
ness of judicial procedure, and of this
I have often made complaint; but in
the settlement of issues of this impor
tance two decades are no great length
of time, and if in that period we shall
have stamped out an evil which would
certainly have carried us to socialism
as a reaction from the vicious control
of the few, the time spent, the effort,
and the litigation are worth the cost.
There have been Umes when among
others I have thought that the en
forcement of the law might have been
facilitated had the courts visited its
breach with severer punishment, but
"Though the mills of the gods grind
slowly, yet they grind exceeding
small,” and without the severity that
some of us urged and would have
been glad to see used, a revolution in
business methods where they have
heretofore been violative of the sta
tute will be accomplished, and with
least disturbance to business which is
lawful.
I wish to repeat now, and to say
further that the attorney general has
instituted investigations into all the
industrial companies above described,
and that these are in various stages
of completion. x,'
Opnosed to Amendment.
Under these conditions, I am en
tirely opposed to an amendment of
the anti-trust law. It is now a val
uable government asset and instru
ment. Tested and brought into prac
tical and beneficial' use by twenty
years of litigation and construction by
the highest court, why should we Im
peril its usefulness by experiments?
The outcry sought to be raised tn
some quarters, followed by proposals
of amendments prepared without a
real understanding of the law or the
court’s decisions, may serve the pur
pose of promoting unreasonable and
unreasoning discontent, but certainly
ought not to be considered seriously.
When an amendment Is proposed
let the proponent state the defect in
the s atute the amendment Is to rem
edy, and how it will, effect It.
If the avowed purpose is to make 1t
impossible to use reason In the con
struction of the statute as the su
preme court did, let the mover of the
amendment formulate a case of re
straint of interstate trade not con
demned under the supreme court’s
construction of the statute, which
ought to be condemned. Let us
avoid general expressions. Let us
avoid charges of improper motives.
Let us come down to concrete cases
and facts and make a showing for an
amendment that a lawyer and a leg
islator can understand and weigh, and
not be content with mere rhetoric
and language useful only for declama
tlon. ।

'HUI A UMI
Store Bas Been Remodeled and Show
Room la Filled With BeaMtlful De
signs In Fashionable Hata.
One of the prettiest displays of tall
and winter millinery which will be
shown In San Antonio is on exhibition
at the Edwards Millinery company
on Commerce street today. The store
has through the summer, been re
modeled and enlarged, and the second
floor is used exclusively for the
trimmed hats.
A pretty feature of the opening. Is
the advance showing of hand bags
to match the hats. These are ex
tremely stylish In coloring and de
sign. In the muff and hat sets, a
scarf, muff and hat of pink, uncut
velvet, covered tn chiffon, and trim
med with fringe of gold cord and
white kid was among the handsomest
shown. A Paris model in black velvet,
trimmed in chenile fringe and a bird
of paradise, waa the prettiest of the
Queen Mary style. A Georgette model
was designed In a theater cap of silk
tapestry, with a drape of Russian laoa
and trimmed In mink fur and hand
made, pink rose buds. A Kurzman
Tam pattern was beautifully made In
black and white, with trimmings of
white chenile fringe, and an osprey of
white aigrettes. A New York model
by Madame Josse. was made of black
velvet faced with blue, covered in
hand-made white lace, and shaded
with blue and plum colored plumes.
The first floor shows the children's
hats in every color and style, many
of which are bonnet shape with high
trimming, like the models for womep.
French plumes, fur, lace and velvet
are the most fashionable trimmings,
and roses will be the favorite flower.
The fitting rooms are furnished in
white and gold and finished in pea
cock colors. The store is decorated
in palms and is thronged with admir
ing women.
