produce the books desired were
adjudged in contempt by the
supreme court and the cases will
soon come to trial.
y The suit against the western
passenger elevator combine COM
prising thirty firms has already
been successfully fought and result
ed, in smashing the trust. 49,.
The list already is almost too
long to 60 over. The trust of the
retail grocers at Nome, Alaska,
where the price of estables was be-
ing held up on the starving miners,
has been attacked and defeated and
the terminal cases if the Eads''
Bridge and the Merchants Bridge
Terminal Companies in st. Louis
where the bridge people wanted to
control the passage of the Mississippi
are under way and will in all proba-
bility soon come to a successful
conclusion. Tie case against the
Fertilizer Trust has been pushed
vigorously and while the end is not
yet in sight, the price Of fertilizer
controlled by the combination has
already dropped no the average Of
So per ton. Considering the hun
dreds of thousands of tons sold
annually, this amounts in the aggre-
gate to a great deal.
The prosecution of the Drug
Trust and the Proprietary Associa-
ton are already we'll under way
and the Department Of Justice is
now going rapidly after that most
gigantic Of all monopolies, the
Standard Oil Company. Indict-
ments have been returned against
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany in New York an the success
of the government in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Coal case before the
Supreme Court opened up new
vista in the way of things that the
could do with the trust
and monopoly problem when it got
ready. Indeed this was pivotal
decision and gave flip to the coal
and oil investigation of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission that
has had much to do with the success
of the commission in exposing the
rotteness of the system that seemed
to permeate all of the coal roads.
It will furnish material for the De-
partment of Justice in the further
prosecution Of these comb ines and
ought to do much toward lowering
the price Of living and giving the
people a little of what is coming to
them.
The suits for rebating and dis
on the part of the rail-
roads are in fact just commencing
and the good effect of these actions
will be found, as has been pointed
out, not 80 much in fines and jail
sentences against individuals, as in
their moral effect and in lettering
the giant corporations from doing
what they know themselves is
wrong when they find a government
ready to prove it illegal and to
punish it if need be.
This is the record with which the
Republican party is ready to 60 be-
fore the people at the next election
and it is a record that no other
party has ever approached in the
history Of the country. Much of
the credit is due personally to the
President. But the party as a
whole has shown what the govern
ment can do when determined in
the control of trusts and comb

Washington Notes
Washington D. Z. July 6, 1905

Washington D. Z. July 6, 1906
It is a natural certainty that both
parties will 60 before the country
at the coming congressional election
and claim record on trust busting.
Human nature and especially politi-
cal nature will have to change a
whole lot before they would over
look such a bet as that. How much
of the credit is to be laid to the
party and how much to the per-
sonal initiative of the President is a
question. The chances are that the
Presidents personal views had
more to do with inaugurating and
carrying through the campaign
against trusts than had anything
else. Also the Democratic party in
spots may be handed modicum OF
credit for there were some places
where party lines were largely
obliterated and where the righteous
ness Of legislation in prospect had
much to do with gathering the
votes that helped to pass it regard
less of party utilization. But as Il
whole the credit belongs to the
Republican party rather than to any
other, and it is on that record the
party will be glad to 60 before the
people.
The record of the past year is in
deed remarkable when one comes to
look back on it. The decision of
the Supreme Court in the Northern
Securities merger case was the be-
ginning Of SORROWS for the trusts
and it defeated a move that would
have put the transportation facili-
ties of the whole western country
into the hands of one group of men.
Then there came the prosecution
of the Beef Trust. This indeed for
the moment in ridicule for the
government through the apparently
insane decision of one Chicago
court. But it was in all probability
not bad thing, for it helped the
passage Of other legislation that
will make such idiotic rulings i'm.
possib BILE in the future. Also it
stirred up the community and added
fuel to the flame when the report
on packing house conditions came
out and forced the meat inspection
bill to more or less successful
issue. The best friends of the in.
spection legislation cannot say that
the inspection law is altogether
satisfactory yet, but it is long way
ahead of nothing and promises to
improve in the future. Then there
rapidly followed the dissolution OF
the western paper trust and the
drop of thirty per cent in the price
of news print paper. This was q
case of Col. Crocket's coon where
the trust came down without
shooting. ~,
The prosecution of the Kansas
City rebate cases was another
government victory where the
court imposed a fine of $4,000
each on four of the companies and
fines of 81, 1000 and Sc, 900 on two OF
the individual defendants. The
investigation of the Tobacco Trusts
is not yet completed but there has
been enough brought out already to
justify one prosecution. The
American Tobacco Company and
McAndrews, Forbes and Co. were
hailed into court and on refusing to

bilious to secure second place to help the
Sox. The west might be able to say the
Athletics and Pie Eaters of Boston helped
the Yankees, but not with very good reason.
The Athletics have already shown indiffer-
ence to the success of Grifith's men. They
sent very weak aggregation against the
Sox short time ago.
Perhaps 1t is wrong to impute evil motives
to the Athletics. They probably care for no
team except their little own, and are only
guilty of partly spelling a splendid contest.
The average fan in New York has awarded
two pennants to Chicago. and all he wants
now Is to see the Yankees and Giants meet
in battle for the local championship.
Frank Farrell is sportsman and there Is
little doubt that he will give his consent to
Grin's team meeting the Giants. providing
the Yankees fail in the American League
race.
Farrell is naturally bitter over the snub
he received from the Giants on the subject
Of a post-season series two years ago. but
he is likely to give in when he sees that the
base ball fans to man want the Giants
and Yankees to meet this year. From now
on the fans will surely howl for that series.
and it would be poor policy to ignore them.
Which would win is a question hard to
solve. but the Giants have been giving some
pretty miserable exhibitions lately.

new YORKS STILL
HAVE A CHANCE

NEW YORK. October 1.-Mr. Griffith evi-
IDENTIFY believes in the old saw that race is
never lost until 1t is over He still hopes to
see the Yankees cross first under the WIRE
and that Is the right kind Of a captain To
tell the truth, the Yankees have a chance.
1t is so slim. however. that the somewhat
dense population OF Chicago profess not to
be able to see it. but it Is visible in the
beautiful air In New York The basis of the
hope of Mr. Griffith lies in the possibility of
the White Sox losing two games to ST. Louis
and two to Cleveland. and this is strength
ened by the games yesterday. in which the
SOx split even with the Nationals.
While the Sox are suffering this humilia-
ton. IL they do. the Yankees will have to
be busily engaged in trouncing Philadelphia
and Boston. To the optimistic this looks
good and very probable. Pessimists will,
however. point to the lark color termed Sec
tional pride. The western clubs would be
glad to see a western club take the flag.

TEAW WORK WON
AGAINST NAVY YARD

George Washington University. IL: Navy
Yard. o.
The George Washington foot ball team
won the first local game of the season
Saturday afternoon at University Field.
when two touchdowns and goal were re-
corded against the strong Navy Yard team
in fifteen and ten-minute halves.
The game was arranged by Coach Gro
well so that he could get line on the play
ers before the hard game next Saturday
with Lehigh. and the Navy boys certainly
made the University team work to get their
two touchdowns. At the opening Of the
game the George Washington team could
not gain anything. but their team work
soon began to tel against the Navy Yard
team.
Coach Crowell used several men in the
different positions that each could be
given a good tryout and almost every man
on the team played well, considering the
short time they have been together. Glib
son. the big right tackle, broke through
several times and caught his man before
he could cover any ground. Cunning. on
left end also got through and did some fine
tackling. Stevenson, at right half, played
a good game, carrying the ball on several
occasions for good gains. For the Navy
team, Stone, DeMarr, Mccormick and Nc
Kenzie played we'll. Talbert directed his
team with judgment.
George Washington scored eleven In the
first half. In the second half they failed
to score.
The lineup:
