1t begins to look as IL the coal
monopolists had gone just a step too
far. BY the recent increase in the
price OF anthracite they have aroused
a feeling in the United States that
bodies i'll to the combine. The excuse
was put forward that a raise in price
was necessary if the companies doing
business were to receive a reasonable
return on their investments. This
is believed to be nothing more than a
pretext for an organized attempt to
extort money from the public. A
recent Investigation by a senate COM
mittee of New York disclosed that
the companies comprising the trust

MUCH speculation has been en-
tertained by the people of Stark
county on the cost of the April
term of district court just past. The
carefully compiled figures given
here are furnished by Auditor
Aud: Grand jury, s112:4o; petit
jury, s32S.9o; witnesses, ss27.o5;
clerk of the court, s251.19; stcnog-
rapher, SOL; sheriff and bailiffs,
S4o1.5o, making a total of s1511.s4.
Prohibition cases before court be-
fore the states attorney: witnesses,
$4,000; stenographer, s32; sheriff
SOFAS; attorney fee, SIS, making
a second total of s256.o5. A part
OF the aggregate of the first tota
was increased, of course, by tho
prohibition cases, such as calling /;
grand jury, and extra number O
Jurors, witnesses, etc. Howevc
it is right to have laws enforced
the only way to sustain a goot
government, and by the enforce
ment of a poor law for any com
munity, the people are 500
brought to see its fallacy and to d.
away with it. Hence we argu
that by the enforcement of tn
prohibition law it is more quickl,
done away with and we are given
high license law in its stead.
