WASHINGTON LETTER.

The last days of the president
before leaving for his summer
vacation at Oyster Bay are being
spent in arranging for the trust
prosecutions that it is confidently
believed will be undertaken by
the Department of Justice. The
evening of the last cabinet day
in Washington was the occasion
of a notable gathering of trust
busters" at the White House.
There were most of the members
of the cabinet, Chairman Knapp
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, representatives of the
Department of Justice, and some
of the special attorneys of the
government engaged in the cor
poration Investigations. The OBJ
ject of the gathering was to set
tie on the policy of the Admins
tration as to prosecutions so as
to leave the president as free as
possible from discussions of this
sort during the summer.
The government has gathered
a mass of information on which
it may act, but there is more in
the question than the simple one
of whether or not a conviction
can be secured in any particular
case. There is the wider one of
policy. The country has been
riding on a wave of prosperity,
there have been immense crops
and great business expansion.
The repeated revelations of cor
ruption in financial life and the
threat that the law would be en-
forced and a number of captains
OF industry put in Jail, has stir
red up the corporations so that
they are threatening to "shut off
the heat, as it were, by sus-
pending railroad improvements,
closing down factories, and lay
ing off men. Just with these
moves there comes the prospect
Of a bad crop year. Repeated
raids in the stock market have
driven securities down to a low
point and while the shrinkage in
paper values has not affected the

L
ciers in Jail if it were determined
to do so. There is little question,
too, that such drastic action
would be followed by profound
industrial depression, and then
the money world would be able
to chuckle and say, "Now see
what you've done" Therefore,
it is likely that the Department
of Justice will be cautioned to
move very carefully in it's prose-
cutions and an attempt will be
made to punish the wrongdoers
without hurting some of the 9TH
er combinations that have been
equally illegal but perhaps not so
harmful as the chief offenders.
Just in this connection there
was presented to the president
last week a new scheme for the
regulation of trusts that on the
face of it looks pretty promising.
The scheme was in the form of
an amendment to the Sherman
Antitrust law, and is the work
of a constitutional and corpora
tion lawyer of New York, who,
besides being a lawyer of exper-
ience, has promoted and formed
several trusts himself, and there
fore should be in touch with the
practical side of the business.
In his letter to the president he
starts out with the proposition
advanced some time ago by the
president himself that there were
good and bad trusts, and that the
former should not be harmed
while the latter ought to be cor
rected. The law that he proposes
declares illegal and criminal any
trust or combination in restraint
of trade that is harmful or op-
pressive to the manufacturers or
the consumers. The question
whether a trust is harmful or op-
pressive is left entirely to the
judgment of a court and jury in
each individual case. Thus there
is no wholesale condemnation of
trusts, and one that cheapens
goods and betters production and
distribution by combination is
left alone so long as it plays the
game" and does not become an
extortionate monopoly. This is
just the thing that the president
has been trying to make plain in
his many messages and speeches.
The proposed law allows the
district attorney to initiate pro-
ceedings as usual against any
trust that he thinks needs act
ion against it, but there is the
additional safeguard that in case
the district attorney fails or re-
fuses to prosecute, suit can be
entered by any private citizen
through his attorney. This is a
considerable departure from pre-
cedent. Of course any man can
bring a suit against any individ-
ual or corporationif if he can al
lege personal injury, but he can
not institute such a suit pro bono
publico. The amended law would
make it possible for any citizen
or combination of them to insti-
tute a suit if the district attOr-
ney, plainly speaking, were
crooked and refused to prosecute.
The president was much inter-
ested in the plan, and it will be
turned over to the Attorney Gen.
eral for consideration. Whether

be said. But at present Congress
is not in session, and as one of
the members of the cabinet said

DemOcracy's Chance.
BY LEO.

made fine political speech the
other day, in which he tried to
convince his brethren that in
1908 an opportunity to elect a
Democratic president is going to
occur. He based this prediction
on the seeming differences among
the Republicans about tariff re-
form and other matters.
There is doubtless some differ
ence in opinion among Republi-
cans, but really not enough to
afford the Democratic party any
hope of winning the next nation
al election. And, furthermore,
the Republicans have a habit of
coming together just before an
election is held. We presume it
will so happen before the cleo
ton of 1908. Judge Taft has al
ready announced himself in favor
of tariff reform, and if he be the
party's candidate for the presi-
dency next year the convention
nominating him will be sure to
. put a plank in the platform fav-
oring tariff reform, and thus
take the wind out of the sails of
the Democratic craft.
And supposing there will be
next year a real opportunity for
Democratic success at the polls,
the party itself can be depended
upon to do something to fritter
away their chance. In all prob
ability w. J. Bryan, the most
popular Democrat in all the coun-
try, will come to the rescue-to
the rescue of the Republicans.
For several years this great man
has been of much benefit to the
Republican party. The dread OF
his wild theories causes a real
coming together of conservative
people. Everywhere men eulo-
gize Bryan for his candor and ell
oquence, but they want to con-
tinue him in private life, because
he is a good critic and would be
a bad administrator. The Amer
ican people hold W. J. Bryan in
honor, but he is not wanted as
chief magistrate of the republic
because of his erratic views OF
finance and governmental func-
tions.
And yet, the Democratic con-
vention Of 1908 is almost sure to
put him in nomination for the
presidency, and just as sure he
will suffer another defeat. Like
Henry Clay, Bryan is the idol of
the Democratic host throughout
the country; and like Henry Clay,
his repeated seeking after the
presidency will ever defeat his
aspirations. They that seek too
strenuously hardly ever find the
presidency. To be ever trying
to get in, is sure to keep one out,
Even now there is much talk
of nominating some other man
than Bryan, because, as stated,
to nominate him is to make de-
feat sure once more. Well, that
is just so; but it will be the same
with any other man at the head
of the ticket. The country is
not ready for a change just yet.
Let well enough alone.
IT is true, matters need re-
forming in many places. There
are crooked things to be made
straight; but can a Democratic
administration do better at re-
forming than a Republican ad-
ministration with a man likeTaft
at the head?
There is a demand for tariff
reform, and there is need Of it

FORRIESTER MAY LOSE
DUCK-SHOOTING PRESERVES

NAPA, Jan. l0-District Attorney
Benjamin filed a complaint today
against f. II. Forriester as a result of
the suit recently settled by which judg-
ment favorable to duck hunters was
rendered against Forriester. Applica-
ton for 300 acres alleged to be swamp
and overfiowed land near Santa Rosa
drawbridge was filed by Forriester in
the office of the Surveyor General in
1905, and in January of the following
year a certificate of purchase was is
sued. Upon acquiring possession of the
land Forriester attempted to prevent
duck hunters from trespassing. He lost
the case in the Superior Court Attor-
ney General Webb has now directed
District Attorney Benjamin TO proceed
against Forriester and have the GER
tihcate of purchase Cancelled on the
ground that the affidavit made by For
riester was fraudulent and untrue in
that the 302 acres mentioned are not
swamp land, but navigable body OF

The sixth race is the redeeming
feature of today's card at Emeryville,
large fields of horses of very moderate
caliber marking the remaining five
events. Handmaiden starts out as the
probable winner of the opener, at five
and half furlongs. Silver Line ap-
pears the probable contender. Maia,
Anna Karenina and Pescadera will be
lighting it out for third place.
Sir Carter showed marked improve
ment in his race of yesterday and may
repeat in the second race today. Pa
chuca, Elba, Meada and Rotrou look
like contenders Fury appears to be OF
little account, but might be the sur
prise of the race.
If Judge is ever to win a race. it
looks as if he might earn brackets in
the third. a subscription affair over the
ruturlty course. Procrastinate was

will probably be right there today
Captain Burnett all have outside
chances.
Sinner Simon is working well and
may be the surprise of the fourth race,
for which very cheap lot have been
entered Lone Wolf will like the track
and Will come up fresh after a good
rest. Leila Hill is dangerous, even
with the apprentice Griswold up.
Chestnut has speed, but the distance is
probably too far. Briarthorpe was
played on hot tip recently and might
make good today.
Metlakatla, running for .ae first time
in the colors of her new owner H. r.
Schaffer, should win the fifth Lazell
looks second best and will be close up,
even should Metlakatla win. Swagger
may get the show.
Lisaro is the class OF the sixth and al
though the track may not be exactly
to his liking, should win. He had speed
in the Follansbee handicap and for a
considerable distance outran his field
in that stake event. Banposal is n
greatly improved performer and will
be the contender. Boloman and Monte
Lucille will fight it out for third place.

PREPARING FOR

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, JAN To-
Baseball prospects are now claiming
the attention of the athletic under
graduates, The varsity has been weak
ened by the loss of Harry Bell 'OS, the
crack second baseman, who for two
seasons had been one of the best men
in the cardinal infield To make mat
ters worse, there is no one here who
can creditably fill Bells position.
Jimmy Woodbury., freshman of last
year proved an excellent substitute
at the SECOND bag, put he, too is no
longer in college The present fresh
man class viii no doubt be called upon
to supply the much needed man. or
else one of the veteran outfielders will
be impressed into service to fill the
gap. T. R. Cadwalader 90 substitute
outfielder last spring, proved a eapa-
BILE man on the inside and it may be
that Coach flanagan will endeavor to
develop him for the middle sack.
Captain Presley, Sampson and Fenton
will be back to cover the other infield
positions, and in the gardens the vete
rams Chalmers. Owen and Dudley are
on hand for service. Behind the bat
Stump" Stott will no doubt hold forth
Tor the tnlfd season, with Daliey as
substitute. There is a wealth of mate
rial from which to choose a twirler to
fill the position left vacant by Sales.
and no doubt the mantle will fall to
Theile, a speedy junior, whose work
last season was excellent. Wilmer and
Goodell members of the sophomore
class performed well last year and are
available.
flanagan has determined on his sys-
tenn for spring practice and this morn
ing he announced that he would call the
candidates together week from Mon
day for initial practice. From then on
till the big series with California work
will be unremitting. Two games will
be played weekly. The schedule is be-
ing formulated by Graduate Manager
Sales and the first match will probably
be with the old rivals of Stanford,
Santa Clara College, on February 2.
