Especial to Review.)

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The failure of Attorney General Bonaparte to ans wer satisfactorily the inquiry of Jo- sephuz Daniels, chairman of the Pub licity Bureau of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, in regard to the prosecution of trusts under the pres ent administration. has led Mir. Dan iels to. seek the desired information from other sources. Mr. Bonaparte has egaded MT. Daniels questions and his evident reason for doing this is explained, to a large extent in news dispatch from Washington to the New York Sun and printed in that paper on November 12, 1907. This dispatch was written by Mir Richard V. Ouaklan. the Washington cores pondent of the Sun, and now the head of the Publicity Bureau of the Repub- hcan National committee. Accord ingly, it's accuracy should not be dorbted. BIT. Daniels has simply ap- pealed from the Department of Jus tice Of the present administration to the Department of Publicity of the Republican National Committee The Suns dispatch written by Mir oula- han. now in charge of Republican pub hcity, said in part:
 Notwithstanding all that has been said by and for this administration in regard to the enforcement of the laws and the enactment of new laws against great corporations, the chief law officers of the government feel themselves baked in the effort to bring about the dissolution of any great combinations in restraint of trader and in private. al least, they do not plume themselves on their ac- complishments The president has said so much and written so much about trusts. railroad legislation and the evils of wealth. that the country has come to believe that the present administration has accomplished in comparably more than was ever ac- complained before The fact is, however, that according to the rec

REPUBLICAN PARTYS OWN PUBLICITY
 MANAGER POINTS OUT FAILURE IF
 ROOSEVELT TO PROSECUTE TRUSTS

ords of the government only twelve suits under the Sherman law have been partly successful in the six years of President Roosevelt's administra- ton, and several of these were minor cases
 Actions of every kind under the Sherman law during the present ad- nave been only twenty nine in number and only eight of these have been of the major class. Nearly all the others were of district ly minor importance. Of the eight big cases actually tried. only three were won by the Government and one was partly successful and a pitiably small fine of s1S.000 against one of the largest industrial trusts in the country. was imposed
 The real pride of the administration is In the administration of the inter state commerce law or the act to regulate commerce., and the Eldn ra- bate law. Yet the records of the De partment of Justice show that the number of actions instituted by Pres ident Roosevelt under the interstate commerce. law has been smaller than those instituted by either President Harrison. President Cleveland in his second administration, and President Mckinley. There were 47 in Harri- sons administration, 102 in Cleve- land's second, 2s in McKinley's and 2I in Rocsevelt's.
 The Sun dispatch then goes on to say that the three cases of importance lof which the administration boasts were the Northern Securities merger. the case against Swift and company, iof the Beef Trust. and the case against the General Paper company. It is well known that the victory in the merger case was a victory in name only. while despite the convic- tion of the Beef Trust. only a nomi- nal fine was imposed there were no imprisonments and the trust contin- ues 10 do business at the old stand. In regard to the action against the Paper Trust, the Suns dispatch ex- plains how futile 1t was by saying,
Bisbee daily review., 1908-10-23

Yet a large delegation representing some of the largest consumers of white paper in the country called on President Roosevelt last week to tell him that the decree was wholly inef- fectiye and that the General Paper company still controls prices"
 The same dispatch also points out that "of the nineteen minor actions, only five have been completely won. The list includes some trusts and Combinations in restraint of trade absurdly small in their organizations and operations"
 Illustrating this, the dispatch refers to the action against the Retail Gro cers Association. of Nome, Alaska. This simple and unimportant little case was one of the great prosecu- tions against trusts instituted under the Roosevelt administration, but but there has never been any action against the all-powerful Steel Trust.
 Numerous other minor cases are cited in the dispatch as illustrating what the administration has done to bust the trusts" and all are included in Mir. Bonaparte's general total ol the number of cases prosecuted.
  Among those which the Sun enum- crates is an action against an Ice and Fuef> company, of Arizona, a Lumber company and Heat company of the same Territory; a case against a Chemical company in Virginia; and an Ice company in Oklahoma and an, other in the District Of Columbia. All of these. are of purely local signifi. canoe. They constitute the great campaign which the Roosevelt admin istration has made against tue trusts while action has been taken against only three of the 2S7 trusts in the country to which Mir. Daniels called MT. Bonaparte's attention.
 The Suns dispatch written by Mir Oulahan. now at the head of the Re. publican publicity bureau, concludes:
 President Roosevelt, despite the confidence that he has expressed in his recent speeches, is keenly aware oi the failure of his administration to ac

is matter of common knowledge. The trust in fact has been bold enough or has thought 1t safe enough with the present administration to act of ficially and make proclamation of It's lawless purposes. The following ap- peared in the New York Sun of May 22. 1908:
 At the meeting of Steel manufac- turers yesterday, it was again decided to maintain prices at the present lev el This is the same determination arrived at at each of the three pre- yious meetings. except that in this
 case it is announced that the policy during the summer months. The off cial statement was as follows:
 At the meeting today of repre-
 sentatives of the pricipal manufactur- CTS of Steel in this country the opin- ion was expressed by each one pres
 ent that the prices of steel are req sonable and should not be reduced; that reduced prices would not in crease purchases, and that most of their customers do not expect or de- sire any changes. The opinion was unanimous that the meetings should be discontinued for the summer months unless the Chairman should deem it advisable to meet at any time for reasons which do not now appear. Previous to the big meeting. which took place at two o'clock in the office of E. H. Gary. Chairman of the United States Steel corporation.
 there were informal meetings during the morning of representatives of
 companies from all parts Of the coun- try"
 It has been announced seni-author- itatiyely that officials and benefici- aries of the Steel Trust have contri- buted enormous sums of money this year to the national republican cam paign fund. in view of that state ment and the facts here recited 1t
 seems to me the people are entitled | to know:
 First-Whether Judge Taft. is elect ed president, will recommend to the congress reduction of the iron and steel tariff schedules, and, If so, to what extent?
 i Whether Attorney General
 Bonaparte win at once proceed to dis solve this combination of steel manu.
 lecturers and punish the offenders.
 and whether Judge Taft, should he be
 elected, will favor such legal proceed nngs?

FOR THOSE FOND OF CHERRIES
Four Recipes with This Fruit as 2
 Foundation.

Candied Cherries-Wash, stem and pit one pound of large, firm cherries, putting pound of sugar to a pound of the fruit. Boil the juice and the sugar to very thick sirup. Put the cherries in this sirup and let them simmer-not boil-for ten minutes. Then set them away in the sirup until the next day. The next morning take the cherries out of the sirup and put in deep dish. Let the sirup boil up once and pour over the cherries. This should be done for three mornings. On the fourth morning boil the sirup almost to the thickness of candy, dip the cherries in and let them get thor oughly coated, then place them sep arately on fiat dishes and dry.
 German Cherry Pie-Make cherry When almost done beat one egg until very light and add to 1t one scant half cupful Of rice cream. Pour this mix ture over the top of the pie. Put pie back in oven and bake until the GUS tard Is set This makes a very attrac tive as well as an appetizing dish.
 Cherry Tapioca-Soak one small cup of tapioca in water over night In the morning add pinch of salt and cook until clear, then add butter the size of an egg and one cup of sour cher ries, which have been washed and stoned. Add to this sugar enough to sweetsn- Flavor with vanilla, turn into earthen or agate dish and bake until it bubbles up. Serve ice cold with rice cream.
 Cherry Salad-This is a very dainty dish and really requires little time. For a course at a luncheon it Is most tempting. Either the large white or red cherries can be used and it is most effective to mix the two eolors. The fruit should be stoned without breaking and in the place of each stone is placed a nut meat (hickory nut, hazlenut or anything you have on hand). The cherries are then spread on the white leaves of lettuce and served with a sharp French dressing, emitting the pepper.
