u Some of Their own Medicine.

A new plan is to be tried by the government de
partment of justice bust illegal trusts in the near
future. The weapons t. be used will beinjunctions
and receivers 1t is the general opinion that it will
result shaking the big monopolies as nothing has
done heretofore.
The courts will be asked to issue iniunctions and
appoint receivers in tFe of big combinations
that have so long ignored the Sherman antitrust
law in the belief that fines would be the sole punish
ment they might expect.
In all probability the tobacco and powder trusts
will be the fret arraigned in proceedings for injunc-
tions and if these are successful the Standard Oil
trust will be attacked.
In successful actions against the trusts thus far
little has been accomplished The payment of fines
b as had practical effect; the trusts have simply
assessed these losses against the public and gone on
doing business, throttling competition and fixing
prices to suit themselves If the department of jus
tce show that a combination is doing business
in clear violation of the anti trust laws, restraining
trade and monopozing the field, the law officers be-
ieve the courts will find it consistent with law and
justice enoin the trusts from continuing business
along those lines. Them if the injunction is ignored
a motion will be made for a receiver to operate the
business.

Dumb Committee.

The Taft managers are busily engaged at the pres
ent time endeavoring to pry opsn the mouths of the
members of the Republican state committee long
enough to squeeze out the promise to te for Taft
Endorsement at the expected meeting of the commit
tee before July 81 This meeting, if held, will
be for the purpose of settling disputes in several
counties the selection of members of the county
election boards, but it will be taken ad, antage of by
resolution providing enough promises be corraed
In advance to Justify the attempt The members of
the committee who have fingered ON the fence
throughout the factonal strife up to the present
time have desire to be pushed OH at this stage of
the game and are hoping and praying that the quar-
rels will be adjusted locally, and thus remove all
necessity for convening the organization.
They are therefore exerting their quiet influences
for the speedy settlement of the differences and no
need be surprised to them successful. This
would he another dsa ppointment to the Taft
managers it is generally claimed and believed that
the local dstuT Dances have been stirred up by them
for the sole purpose of getting the committee
together, The Foraker people say they are doing
nothing to head off the Endorsement resolution, in
the event of the meeting, claiming it would be mean.
ingless the committee has authority to take
such action However, if the attempt is made there
is hardly doubt that it will meet with strenuous
opposition and possibly may be defeated.

Slow Progress.

Oho's Endorsement of Taft to be as far
moved as ever 1t is now six months or more since
Roosevelt issued his imperial edict declaring that
Taft must be his successor to carry out ''my poll
cies " but not single delegate has been captured
up to date and the prospects for the future not
bright. There is not the slightest doubt that the
Heir Apparent would have Jared thousand times
better had the president kept his hands off The in
fuence of federal patronage is wonderfully strong
with Republicans, but it ls being demonstrated that
the party of spoils recoils at this dlctation
This usurpatlon of right lodged in tie people has
aeLiated untold numbers of conscientious voters
who really admirers of the president and friendly
to Taft but opposed to Mexicanizing the United
States The opposition of Senator Foraker's tre
mendous following is due entirely to Roosevelt the
opposition of the old soldiers due Roosevelt the
opposition of union labor is due to Roosevelt more
than to Taft, the opposition of the negroes is due al
most entirely to Roosevelt, while both Taft and
Roosevelt responsible for the opposition of those
Republicans who honestly believe in the principle of
protective tariff, we'll those rich manufactur-
ers who dishonesty make pretense to such belief.
Tafts declaration in favor of lower tariff does
not set we'll with protectoniss and is little wonder
they do not take kindly to his candidacy. Confront
ed with these conditions one is not surprised that
the Taft boom makes heaGway; indeed the
prise is that Roosevelt keeps him in the race.

State Rights.

In his speech at Evansville Ind, July 1, Governor
Folk, of Missouri, very happily characterized the
States as experiment stations of representative gov
ernment Nnety-nine per cent of the American peo
pie to-day realize that their Government has fallen
behind industrial development in safe guarding pop
uar rights The Republican part under whose al
most uninterrupted control this failure has come
about, offers panacea that is dangerous than
the disease it would cure.
President Roosevelt and Congress are constantly
seeking undermine State power by constituting the
Constitution in ways it intended to be con
strued. Gov. Folk shows how opposed this practice
is to the whole theory of our government by citing
the from the Constitution that the powers
delegated the Federal Cover ment reserved
States have unlimited powers to meet these
emergencies as they come up.
The only excuse for Federal activity by loose
struction OF the Constitution s the fancied difficulty
of securing State uniformity in legislation. What
there is of this difficulty has been fosered by those
States Governor Folk ri yhtly protests against the
interference Of Federal with State laws which
Missouri has recently suffered from. This govern
ment of makes the powers of the States elias tic

One of the most powerful arguments that the press
has used for decade in its appeals TO the people to
be wiser and more careful in their celebrating the
Fouth of July has been the list of the dead and

to be made fully effective and the regulations of the

Village Of Westerville Has
An Expensive Plant.

Westefyille, July 16.-There
was much commotion at til 81
council meeting here Friday night
when the question Of the municip-
al electric light plant came up again
for discussion l.. IL McFadden,
secretary of the board of public
atfsirs, reported 10 council that
the plant is IN debt $8lS3, which
makes an excess cost of 86le3
over that originally planned
When the plant was outlined it
was estimated that the cost would
not be more than $l2, 900, put
since that time $4,000 had to be
advanced and now there remains
$8l88 to he paid.
According TO statement made
by Councilman Cady, the service
of the plant is bad, as several
citi zens have made complaint that
the power furnished is insufficient.
Another matter which brought
about "a little word battle was
thi Of paying Mrs. Mary NJ
WOsteryelt for the work she did
in auditing and reporting upon
the villages books. They were
found TO be in bad con dition, and
Councilman Dnrant maintained
that the officials who caused the
auditing should loot the lii pre-
sented by Mrs. Westery elt. In
the end, however, council paid
the bill.
