from prosecution for closing the Phil
adelphia refinery and the methods
used to secure control, but the govern
ment is evidently proceeding on the
theory that the offense, although com
menoed over three years ago when the
loan was made and the refinery closed,
was a continuous one and eliminated
only this year when the litigation
over It was concluded. On this point,
doubtless, the success Of the prosecu-
ton will largely depend. Whether 1t
succeeds or fails does not alter the
moral influence of the prosecution,
which is notice that the big offenders
stand on the same level as minor Of
tenders against the law.
While the prosecution is a warning
to law violators, the methods pursued
by the administration also declare
that no person or corporation, great or
small, which obeys the law need be
alarmed, as the Department Of Justice
is not striking Unfortunately, but
Its efforts at law enforcement will be
intelligently directed.

The Treasury Statement.

The federal treasury statement for
the year ending July 1 is not discour-
aging, but encouraging, despite the
deficit of $89,S11,156. During the
early months of the fiscal year the
deficit had been estimated at $114,-
900, 900 and revenues decreased later
so greatly that S13O,OO0,OO0 would
not have been surprising. Commenc-
ing with March there has been a con-
sistent and rapid increase in both Gus
toms and internal revenue receipts,
which has surprised even the most ex-
perienced observers.
It is not anticipated that receipts
during the current fiscal year will
equal expenditures, as the appropria-
tions we're heavy, and July is expected
to show a deficit Of from $40, 000, 900
to $14,O00,OOO, against a deficit of
$24,S6S,0 600 for last July. The in
preparations by the regular session of
congress. promises, however, to make
this the last year Of treasury deficit.
If these calculations are correct the
treasury will be able to meet the
emergency without embarrassment.
Another feature of increased Gus
toms and internal revenue receipts
fully as significant and encouraging is
the evidence 1t bears of returning busi-
ness activity. Both are directly re-
sponsive to business demands as fol-
lowing a period OF depression and they
are naturally free from speculative
movements. The imports stimulated
by increased duties on some articles
by the pending tarif bill are fairly
Offset by those held back for the lower
duties imposed on others.

Snpar Trnst Indictment

The indictment of the American
Sugar Refining company, the sugar
trust, as a corporation and its man
aging directors as individuals, must be
a severe shock to those who fancied
the Taft administration was to be
lethargic in its enforcement Of the
antitrust laws. 1t shows conclusively
the president is in earnest In "clinching
the Roosevelt policies and hat Attor-
ney General Wickersham meant what
he said when he announced that
obedience to the law was 5he price
Of immunity"
In assailing the sugar trust the ad-
ministration has not sought the small
fry, but has struck at one OF the most
powerful and wealthy corporations in
the country, which markets 90 per
cent OF all the sugar consumed in the
United States. The American Sugar
Refining company is also commonly
believed to be n OF the most ruth
less in its competition-stihing meth
DDS. but whether this can be proven
remains for pending litigation to de-
termine.

New York Police shakeup.

The removal Of Police Commits
sioner Bingham of New York City is
likely to be misconstrued by those who
do not look below the surface. Mayor
Mcclellan has advanced a most plausi-
BILE pretext to Justify the removal.
The retention in the rogues' gallery
Of the picture of a youth, who was not
convicted and who is vouched for by
his friends as a worthy young man,
challenges criticism as an abuse of po-
lice power, but General Bingham as
serts that this Is only a subterfuge,
and facts seem to bear him out.
AS police commissioner General
Bingham has resisted all efforts to
make the police force a political ma
chine or permit it's use in any way to
further political ambitions. He has
thus antagonized Mayor Mcclellan and
Tammany. A municipal election is
coming up and the reform element is
making a determined effort to over
throw Tammany and its machine.
With the police neutral and an efficient
engine for a free ballot and a fair
count Tammany's chances would be
much lessened. That appears to be
the real reason for General Bingham's
removal from Office and the substitu-
ton Of a supposedly more complaisant
head Of the police department.
1t is not a pleasant spectacle to con-
template condition which assumes
that Mayor Mcclellan is carrying out
a political compact with Tammany, but
Tammany's record and all the cir
cumstances go to support General
Bingham's version.

American Securities Abroad.

American securities have for years
been largely held abroad, especially In
Great Britain and Holland, and it was
the throwing over Of large blocks by
foreigners during the panic Of 1907
which accumulated the monetary dis
turbance. The rapid recuperation Of
the United States from that panic
opened the eyes Of Europeans to the
inherent strength of this country and
the permanent value Of it's standard
securities. Great Britain and Holland
have beer rapidly ~reabsorbing the Sc
c%urities sold and increasing their
holdings.
A noteworthy development is
pointed out by H. H. Porter, a North
western railroad director and promi-
nent capitalist, who has Just returned
from a European trip. II is that
American securities are now finding a
large market in places which formerly
d~istrusted them and held compare
lively few. France is not only taking
many Of the old issues, but is furnish
ing money for railroad development In
the United States. Another notable
feature Of these investments is that
they are not confined to the capitals
tic class, but the securities are being
purchased by owners OF small savings.
American securities, as a rule, bear
higher interest or dividend rates than
European, and this has caused eau
tious European investors to be wary,
but with the demonstration of the
soundness of the securities the higher
rate has been a prime attraction to the
investor. Mr.. Porter concludes, and
other hnanciers have voiced the same
sentiment, that foreign money is ready
to supply any deficiency in the domes-
tic supply to finance any enterprise
which will bear careful accounting in
v~estigation. II this is true there is
no reason why the United States
should not develop with increasing
rapidity.
