The Federal rrusr INQUIRY

If a secret investigation of trusts by
the federal government is actually in
progress, as reported, 1t may at least
serve the useful purpose of revealing
the isadequacies of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Notwithstanding the popular ciamor
for federal restraint OF the combines
the Sherman act represents the only
legislation of that character enacted
by Congress. To go further than this
has been declared impossible without
violating the spirit or letter of the
Constitution, which guarantees unre-
stricted between the states.
Any inquiry started by the Attorney
General must therefore be made with
reference to alleged violations of the
Sherman act. That his law is made
quate when it ONE to authorizing in
reference with present Industrial com
bines is plainly manifest to anyone
who is at all familiar with the nature
of these consultations. This act
prohibits agreements between individ-
uals or corporations where the natur-
al or direct effect OF it Is to regulate
or restrain interstate commerce. In
three cases involving the question of
agreements to maintain rates and
prices the Supreme court sustained
the law. Two of these were suits
against joint traffic associations, while
one was a suit against the Addyston
Pipe and Steel Company. which had
sought through an agreement t o con-
troll the market for its commodity in
thirty-six states.

 Popular Teacher, Clerk and
 Policeman or Fireman.

The voting contest of The Advertiser for the most popular salesman. most popular teacher and most popular fire man or policeman. has attracted great deal of attention, and is being widely discussed on the streets of Montgomery. Already thousands of votes are being sent to The Advertiser office The names of the persons for whom these votes are being cast, to- gether with the number they have re- ceived, will be published in The Adver- tiser in a few days.

 While the schools have closed for the summer vacation, great interest is be. ing taken by the pupils Many of them have selected their favorite teachers and are working with a will to send them to Buffalo. The clerks are also greatly interested. Many of them yesterday were discussing the race and speculating as to who will make a good run.
 MT. Charles Coleman of the firm ot John l.. Cobbs & Co.,, was asked wha' he thought of the scheme. MT. Cole man said that the proposed trip was . stroke of great enterprise on the par of The Advertiser. and he had no doubt that it would prove most popula' movement. He said the race should be hotly contested, for the proposed route was an ideal one and one whicf the clerk would appreciate.
 MT. A. S. Knowles of The Fair ex pressed his entire approval of The Ad Yertiser contest. He said the route selected for the proposed trip wal splendid. and he felt sure the winner O the contest would enjoy the trip.

Not so long ago he put some sovereigns in the plate at the dcor on leaving the Roman Catholic church off Lincolns Innfields.
