Anti-rrust Law IL Futile.

The story that the Department Of
Justice is investigating certain alleged
violations of the anti-trust law, says
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, Is both true and unlmport-
ant. Such Investigations have been
made from time to time ever since the
Sherman law was placed on the statute
books. Various attorneys general have
attempted prosecutions of trusts under
that law, but have been forced to
abandon the attempt on account Of the
Inherent weakness of the act. Various
decisions of the courts have blocked
all progress toward the enforcement OF
is provisions. 1t Is admitted by all
lawyers who have looked into the mat
ter that the Sherman law Is virtually
dead letter and that it Is useless to at
tempt prosecutions.
What Is now being done by the off,
cials of the Department of Justice Is
Just what they have been doing for
several years; when complaints are
filed Of alleged violations Of the law
they look into the facts. Sometimes
they bring suits, only to be ruled out
of court under decisions already rem.
dered. Usually an investigation Is an
end of the chapter and the effort SIM
mers down to a few dusty papers re-
posing In Department Of Justice pig
eonhole. There Is not n trust In the
United States that fears prosecution
under the Sherman law.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says that Washington advices indicate
that the question Of currency IN the
Philippines will soon come up for se-
rtous consideration. There was strong
pressure last autumn for executive &C.
tion which would relieve the actual
scarcity Of silver coins in the ISLANDS.
This scarcity was caused by the heavy
demand for currency in China While
the forces of the powers were at thelr
maximum there. but 1t seems to have
cured itself to some extent. In view
Of the partial amelioration Of these
conditions, 1t Is probable that Secre-
tary Root will confine his action to the
study of the situation with the view
Of recommending to Congress a COM
prehensive plan for permanent cur
rency system in the Philippines. The
plan which Secretary Root and Sec
retary Gage discussed last autumn,
and which had the cordial indorse-
nent of the secretary of the treasury,
was the adoption of a fxed rate OF
exchange between the American gold
dollar and the Mexican silver dollar,
which have been the standard coin In

Denver, July 3.-The News this
morning says:
Governor Orman has practically CIV
en- his promise to call a special session
of the Legislature to enact new rev.
enue law II the finances Of the state are
in any way jeopardized by the suit
brought by the railroads Of the state
to declare the present law invalid.
He will not act In the matter until
after July 9Th. His mind Is practically
made up to act as soon as the frst
steps are taken In the mandamus suit
in the Pueblo District Court upon the
above mentioned dnte. He Is con-
vinced that II the writ Of mandamus Is
sustained by the court that 1t Will tie
up enough of the state revenues to
teopardize the interests Of the state In
stitutIons. II the writ Is not sustain
ed, and the corporations take an MP
peal, 1t will have the same general ef-
feet, and a special session Will follow
within the next thirty days.
Nine members Of the boards controll'
ing the state institutions called upon
the governor yesterday morning, and
had a long conference with him regard
ing the tying up of the state finances
by the pending suit and the disastrous
effects upon the institutions. They
convinced the governor that the sui
would affect them materially and
might result In some Of them being
closed for the lack of funds.
Before the meeting adjourned the fol
lowing memorial and resolutions were
passed:
"The state of Colorado for period OF
years hns suffered from lack Of sufh
cient revenue. Through inadequate
support many Of the state institutions
have been brought to the verge Of ex
treme misfortune. The Thirteenth Gen
ernl Assembly made an earnest effor'
to effect such change In the revenue
law as would meet the needs Of
growing and prosperous common
wealth. The new law affords the In
dIspeneable relief. 1t does not appeal

Any movement at this time which
would tie up the funds OF the state for
an indefinite period. or throw doubt on

disaster to all the states interests, and

This Is time when all individuals and
