THE GOVERNMENT TO GO
 AFTER STANDARD OIL

The United states is going after the Standard oil company with all the power at it's command under the law. Tho government has as good legal &aieut nc the trust. and it's resources We probably as large. it is always tard to convict in cases of this sort, &ut the government would not have undertaken prosecution without abund- ant evidence on which to proceed.
 The dominant national party, that SSt all the important antitrust leg s.lation on the books, has Also to it's credit all the successful prosecutions. Tho government has been successful in breaking up many unlawful combina' Mons, and the general effect of gov ssnmcnt activity in recent years for tAs enforcement of the laws against aonopolistic combinations is that it gets harder and harder for tho law. breakers to work, and that the general average of business morals in "high naance" circles is considerably higher. Ia some cases there has been seeming failure, but often harassment has ac' sonplished much for the right where judges and jurics, or defective statutes, have failed, to get positive results.
 '. The Standard oil cases will have to take their course with other litigation, and meet all obstacles with which the srdinsry citizen, as well as the expert
 nced lawyer is familiar.
 I The psophs may he assured that the l government will not rest until every { ~eashre of punishment and remedy ia < trio't There is every motive behind sAe troroution that should drive the 2 government representatives to trc 2 pepdous endeavor-personal ambition s@eial responsibility, pride, honor conscience and political pressure. Bu, after all it rests with tho man on the bench whose judgment Is subject to review only in tho higher courts through the regular procedure.

WHAT CABINET CHANGES MEAN

Translation of Attorney General Moody to the supreme bench probably means that Secretary Taft has decided to become a candidate for the RePub. lican nomination for President in 1908. Mir. Moody will carry with him to the hig6er position the full confidence of the people. Comparatively obscure men, at times, have been raised to the supreme bench. It is we'll that, in these days of political unrest and so- cial discontent, new member of the courts should be so we'll and favor ably known as Mir. Moody.
 As previously announced, Secretary Bonaparte will become Attorney Gen erai, Mir. Mctcalf going to the Navy Department. The Californian's "a sue. cessor will be Oscar $. Strauss. An. other change, that comes rather as a surprise, is the promotion of Mir. Gar dcid, Commissioner of Corporations, to tho head of the Interior Department, 5ecretary Hitchcock, who has been . faithful and efficient official, retiring. Possibly MT. Gsr6eld's talents will be displayed to better advantage in his new position, where hc will have pre-. ccdents and established policies to guide him. He is . man of high per.  sonal character, and has done valuable work tn the field he now leaves.

Old.line Democrats as distinguished from the freak variety, are beginning to look encouraged again and feel like sitting up to take notice. After many years of experimenting with strange issues, the rank and file should be about tired and ready to return to the original lines. And since there are no leaders of the old.Iine party left up north of any prominence whatever, it seems that now is chance for some good southern man.

 There IS m astonishing number of suggestions made by the postal author. ltics to reduce the annual deficit of the department, and they are all along the line of diminishing the efficiency of the service. Not one that we have seen proposes to get at the difficulty in the right way, a6d that is by eur. tailing extravagant expenditures for transportation. The reason is obvious Senators and Congressmen who owe their nominations and elections to rail. roads are not likely to adopt q course calculated to diminish their revenues, and the postal authorities take their cue from Congress.
