The Tobacco Decision. 
It is evident that the American 
public is able to solve its great 
problems and that in their hands, 
public opinion, the most potent 
weapon of our liberty will assert it- 
. self. Like the increasing waves roll- 
ing in on a shelving beach running 
far out to sea the waters have been 
rolling in, increasing in power till 
they broke. Give America time; 
she will solve her problems. Ethics 
is not dead and the laws of right- 
eousness, of virtue and of business 
honor are still in operation. 
The recent decision of the Su- 
preme Court against the Standard 
Oil Company and the decision this 
week against the American Tobacco 
Company starts the reform from 
high places. It is no longer good 
law, it never has been good ecitizen- 
ship, to combine in restraint of 
trade. 
The dissolution of the Tobaceo 
Trust must be accomplished in eight 
months. The combination, the de- 
cision reads, ‘‘In and of itself, as 
well as each and all of the elements 
composing it, whether corporate or 
individual, whether considered col- 
lectively or separately, be decreed to 
be in restraint of trade, an attempt 
to monopolize and a monopolization 
within the first and second senses of 
the anti-trust act.’’ The decision is 
firm and just and the ‘‘rule of rea- 
son’’ is but the old rule of common 
law and common sense and strength-

ens rather than weakens the Court 
decision. 
The Ethics of Business. 
In line with the great decision re- 
ferred to above, President Taft de- 
clined to pardon Morse. The United 
States Government has inaugurated 
and is prosecuting with vigor an in- 
vestigation of the Giant Steel Trust. 
The Bar Association of Boston cen- 
sured the trustees of the Shaw es- 
tate. The lower courts are trying 
out serious charges against a Boston 
firm of stock pirates. In New York 
Christopher Columbus Wilson and 
four asociates were convicted of us- 
ing the United States mails fraudu- 
lently in soliciting subscriptions for 
Wireless Stock. 
The righteous ‘‘revival’’ became 
evident first in the great insurance 
upheaval and continues with en- 
couraging prospects. The flag of 
virtue and honor should be proudly 
spread to the breezes of the Market 
Place. 
President Taft’s Decision. 
President Taft’s decision in the 
Morse case appears just and has met 
with approval by the press, and, 
what is better, with the people. Ev- 
ery one may sympathize with the 
suffering wife, but Mr. Morse should 
have had sympathy in the hour of 
his power and trust and considered 
the suffering entailed on the home- 
life of others by his unscrupulous 
financeering. The practical immun- 
ity that certain types of crime have 
enjoyed in the past, especially the 
violation of financial honor, has been 
an open reproach to the * nation. 
Justly or unjustly, a sentiment has 
been rife that petty larceny will re- 
sult in speedy judicial retribution 
while financial pirates may obtain 
immunity by their ability to engage 
skilled legal talents. The tide has 
turned and an increased respect for 
American law must follow.  Presi- 
dent Taft has shown his usual judi- 
cial wisdom and ability to use the 
‘rule of reason.”’ 
Memorial Day. 
The devoted and dignified obser- 
vance of Memorial Day on Tuesday 
©at North Shore towns reflected the 
sincere and reverent patriotism of 
our Shore. The soldiers of 1861-5 
responded patriotically to the call of 
our Martyred President. The ranks

are now growing thin, but the vet- 
erans carry themselves with old time 
manliness. The orations were of a 
high order and the unusual oppor- 
tunities for patriotic expression of 
opinion and instruction were re- 
deemed. It revealed very clearly 
that while the veterans look back to 
those ‘‘glorious days’’ of service to 
our country that they are awake to 
the modern problems of our eiviliza- 
tion. Patriotism means education 
and Memorial Day in addition to its 
sacred duties affords an opportune 
occasion for patriotic services. Now 
that all the bitterness of that dread 
conflict is gone the annual Memorial 
Day exercises fulfils a place in our 
national life. 
The New Steamer. 
Unless the residents of Beverly 
Farms are alert the present hazard- 
ous fire conditions will continue in- 
definitely. The order for the appro- 
priation to repair the old engine lies 
dormant. So it should remain. AI- 
derman Loring has been hard at 
work trying to break down the ob- 
stacles in the way. He has done 
splendid work. The editor has had 
an interview with an expert of the 
Boston Fire Department, who has 
looked over the steamer, and agrees 
with the position which the Breeze 
has taken: 
blunder to allow the broken-down 
engine to cover the valuable prop- 
The Alderman 
has worked hard and has had a 
strenuous fight and he must be sus- 
tained. If a strong petition be pre- 
sented to the Board of Aldermen it 
will be favorably passed by the Fire 
Committee and it is hoped that the 
Mayor will see the error of his way 
and take a new position on the sub- 
ject. Mr. Loring has a petition in .- 
hand and every property owner on 
the shore should write to him at once 
supporting him in his position and 
either send for the petition for sig- 
nature or authorize him in writing 
to append their name. The petition 
is an effective instrument for the ex- 
pression of Publie Opinion and it is 
hoped that it will not fail in this 
case.
