Ex-Senator Edmunds argues in North American Review that the Sherman anti trust law targets restraint of trade not competition. He contends the rule benefits public interest, and uses a grain-mill example to show how cooperation can stabilize prices and wages without harming broader welfare.
The piece argues restraint of trade against combining mills, defending the Sherman act as not harming business or economy. It attacks Congressman Littleton for opposing the Steel Trust inquiry, defends press freedom, and critiques public figures while noting slang and politics in a broad editorial voice. It references Uncle Joe Cannon, Vice President Sherman, and a Texas jack rabbit anecdote for satirical effect.
The Missouri Supreme Court dismissed the libel action against the St. Louis Post-Dispatch over a critic of Secretary of State Samuel B. Cook’s handling of a failing state bank. The court held the paper acted in good faith, asserting the press may openly discuss public affairs without whispering, so long as statements are not false. The ruling frames newspapers as the people’s mouthpiece and guardian of free government.
