The story that the Department of
Justice is investigating certain alleged
violations of the antitrust law, says
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec
is both true and unimport-
ant. such Investigations have been
made from time to time ever since the
sherman law was placed OF II statute
books. Various attorneys general have
attempted prosecutions of trusts under
hat law. but have been forced to
lbandon the attempt on accoun 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 n
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 ave 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 II few dusty papers re-
posing in II Department of Justice pig
eonhole. There is not a trust in the
United States that fears prosecution
under the Sherman law.

and gave bonds in the sum of 81, 900
each for appearance.
The main features of the report
bear on discoveries of participation in
contracts by members of the school
board and municipal officers in the dis,
trict. The report says that there was
found to re many cases of this char
acter. 1t cites that the interest of the
community has not been properly con-
sidered in the conduct of the business
of the school district and that poll
tics and factions intrude to the disad,
vantage of the public, and that the af-
fairs of the district have not been as
economically administered as the pub
lie interests demand.
One direct criminal charge Is made
that "A warrant No. $751; for $50 was
paid by the treasurer of Ell Paso coun>
ty in 1895, and the grand jury found,
ms it believes. that this was really
warrant No. 33S, which. having once
been paid, was treated with acid, the
c%anceling stamp having been erased

was again presented and paid. 1t rec
ommends that steps be taken TO re-
cover the amount of money from the
treasurer of FL Paso county.
The charge against the county treas
urer was that the county funds We're
being kept in bank and that no inter
est is being paid to the county.
The jury states: Some of the Of
lenses that We have investigated
amount to crimes for which we here
with present indictments, but for most
Of the Irregularities the polls afford n
more effective remedy. In conclusion
voters have a duty 10 perform as well
and grand Jurors and the apathy on
the part of the former necessarily in
creases the labor and expense of the
latter"
