istrate and can take no part in the
Inquest. I am willing, howover, to do
Anything within ray power to help

cerning the killing of Roy Blunt"
It was evident from tho little
dropped by tho members of the party

President Taft'a administration, hns
broken all records for prosecutions
brought nnd won undor the Sherman
anti-trust law. Without fear or favor
It has brought to tho bar of Justice
corporations and persons engaging In
illegal combinations In restraint of
trade, tho ultlmato purpose of each
combination being to creato a monop
oly and to raise the prices on its
products. In two years and eleven
months of his administration Presi
dent Taft hns caused to be brought
four moro civil suits and fifteen more
criminal prosecutions than Mr. Roose
velt brought In the seven and on
hnlf years of his administration.
Until Mr. Taft bocame tho president
the administration of Mr. Roosevelt
hold tho record in both particulars.
Thud has President Taft vho b
Mr. Roosovelt's right arm during his
last administration, kept his pledge to
tho American people to uphold and
maintain the policies of his predeces
sor Jn punishing the criminals and
undesirable clement In tho big busi
ness of the country.
In tho Republican national platform
of 1008 reforonco was made to tho
prosecution of evil trusts and monop
olies as ono of tho great accomplish
ments of the Roofvevelt administra
tion, and the platform declared that
the Sherman nntl-trust law had been
a wholosomo instrument for good tn
tho hands of a wise and fearless
oxecutive. In his speech of accept
ance Mr. Taft pledged himself to the
enforcement of thlB law.- How faith
fully he has kopt this promise tho rec
ord of hla administration shows.
Problems Confronting Taft.
Stripped of controversy as to tho
exact meaning of cortaln language of
the Shermnn anti-trust act, the ques
tions that had to bo determined by
thoso In administrative authority and
thoso who Judicially determine their
acta, wero, first, how offcctlvo the law
was to roach tho great aggregations of
formerly competitive producers nnd
dealers, Individual nnd corporate,
who, through Inter-corporate stock
holding morgorB, consolidations and
otherwlne, had acquired bo great a
control over a particular line of indus
try nn to onablo them to dominate It,
and to exclude or admit competition
as they might chooso upon their own
terms.
RffoniUv. to determine whether
that construction of tho law was cor
rect which had been glvon to It by
Rome of the Judges of the circuit
court in New York in the tobacco
caso, and in the opinions of some of
the Justices of the Supremo Court In
other cases to tho offect that any
combination, which in any respect
oporates to restrain to any degree a
pre-existing competition In Interstate
commerce, waa noccssarlly condemned
by law.
In tho three years of tho Taft ad
ministration all of the sixteen cbbsb
left pending by the provious adminis
tration have been disposed of except
two, which have been antucd and nun.
mltted to the Supremo Court of tho
united Ktatos and aro now awaiting
decision. Of tho remaining cases, the
Standard Oil caso was argued early
during tho presont administration,
and, after an appeal, decided entirely
In favor of the government The same
was also true of the tobacco cases
with the ultlmato result of tho dlslnto
gratlon of that big trust Into fourteen
sopnrato and distinct corporations.
This, it Is bcllevod, will effectively
prevent a contlnuanco of the monopo
listic conditions complained of.

During the Taft administration, up
to February, 1912, twenty-two civil
suits havo been brought and forty
criminal indlctmonts found under tho
Sherman law, making in all aixty-two
proceedings. As a result there were
flftoen indictments, and eleven of
theso Involved eighty or moro defen
dants; eight out of twelve defendants
were convicted on one Indictment aft
er trial by Jury and their conviction
confirmed by the court of appeals, and
thirtoon criminal prosecutions are
still pending.
A briof review of tho cases brought
under tho anti-trust law durlnir tho
administration demonstrates clearly
Its value to the American people In
their protection of that equality of op
portunity which Is declared by tho
platform of tho Republican party to bo
tho right of every cltl7"n
Reforonco to a few of tho anti-trust
caBoa brought by tho Taft administra
tion give an excellent Idea of tho
hardships some of these Illegal com
binations entail upon consumers. In
tho prosecution of a caso ngalnBt a
number of Individuals who attempted
to corner all tho free cotton remain
ing of tho crop of 1003, It resulted in a
ralBe In tho prico of that commodity
to the splnnors, prevented somo from
making any purchases, and waa, there
foro, restraining intorstato commorce.
In like manner the government took
cognlzanco of tho pooling of the wiro
industry with tho result that nine In
dictments wero found in Now York
against oighty-threo persons engaged
In that business. It was an Illegal re
straint of trade, and when the court
proceedings had been finished the
various defendants wore fined in
amounts avoraglng 11,000 each, with
the exeeptlpn or the supervisor of the
pool, who was flnod 4C,000.
Ono of tho most outrageous cases' of
combination in restraint of trade, and
a notnble violation of the Shorman
law, was that of the hnnd-blown win
dow glass Industry. Practically all of
tho manufacturers (eighty-three in
number) formed a company which
controlled tho entire output of hand
blown glass. As a result the prlco
was advnncod 100 per cent within loss
than a year. Tho Indictment of tho
mon responsible, tho Imposition of
fines, and the restoration of tho busi
ness upon its former linos, was fol
lowed by a substantial reduction In
tho price of hand-blown glass.

ROSES THE ONLY TRIMMING
New Straw Hats Employ the Artificial
Flowers, Though Now They
Are Not Grouped.
Glrla who havo learned how to
make tho flat roses of chiffon, crepe
and satin which havo been bo popular
for some tlmo used tn groups of three
or four on beaver nnd velvet hats will
now havo a now uno to put theso flow
era to, for many of tho newest straw
hats are trimmed with them, not In
little groups, as has been tho case, but
spread over tho entire crown o! tho
hat in a sort of embroidery effect
Some of tho smartest now straw hats
havo these flowers as the only trim
ming. Ono such hat was of dull red
straw, trimmed with flowers of the
samo shade of dull silk. The hat was
something like a mushroom in shape
and not very wide. All the trimming
was on tho stdea of the crown, run-
alng up a little over the top. Tho silk
roses were connected by a vino made
'of th Bams silk twisted around wire.
The roses wore 'not close together, but
sprssl, pretty well over the crows.

Your letter is too long to print la
detail, but I must say It is almost
Impossible for mo to believe that
young people can be 00 rude as to
talk about you and make you uncom
fortable, even when in Sunday scbooL
Dont you suppose that you imagtno a
food deal and If you are not well every
thing seems so much worse. The only
remedy I know Is to try to forgot
yourself and think what you can do
for others. There Is room for evory
ons In this world and something for
each one of ua to do. Brooding over
our own ills la Just tho worst thing
possible, for nothing la ovef bo bad
but K might bo worso.

Sugge&tlons for a China Shower.
When giving a china shower whaf
should be served? Would also appro
elate a few suggestions as to tho deoi
orations and how to entertain.
ANXIOUS READER.
Thcro is no special decoration for a
china shower besides flowers, and no
entertainment is necessary besides'
opening tho parcels and enjoying the
bride-elect's pleasure with her pretty,
things. Cards are always perml&slblei
providing the , guests like to play,
Serve a salad, sandwiches, olives,
salted nuts and coffee.

New Cotton Corduroy.
So many women like tho velvet fin
ished corduroys that they will doubt
less be glad to see tho same weave in
troduced into tho cotton fabrics.
The now spring cotton corduroys
much resemble the velvet ones,- though
they havo not, of course, tho same
brilliant finish. Thero is tho same
cord-like weave, however, and the cot.
ton corduroys will doubtloss prove as
good for hard servlco aa the other
members of tho corduroy family.
And being of cotton, and nothing to
be hurt about them, these new spring
fabrics may very easily bo washed,
which will mako them more useful
than ever.
