The Etate Polise

Superintendent Cox has made a report
to Governor Dickerson, setting forth
organization, work, expense and other
matters connected with the state police
The report is Il very lengthy document,
from which we take the following:
From january Goth to December 3lst
n total of forty-four appointments were
made. The largest number of men in
service at one time was thirty-rinc,
which occurred on March 81, 1905,
when there were two in Carson City,
twcnty.four in Goldficld and thirteen
/ III Rawhidc. About that time q reduc.
tion of force WAS begun and the gradual
reduction has continued until at this
| time the total force numbers nine
| This is not an adequate number, twelve
| being the minimum fixed upon, but
three vacancies which occurred during
the present month have not. yet been
| filled.
The present force is composed of
men Of good moral character, of excel
Tent ability, good shots, good riders,
and each one competent to take charge
of and instruct u squad of green men in
case of necessity arising for Il sudden
and considerable increase III the
strength Of the force.

Between March first and December
| twcnty-third members of this depart
mcnt made li3 arrests and obtained llG
convictions. OF - arrests for felonics
32 were convicted These arrests
have been made since the force was
concentrated in Carson City.
The fines collected in these cases
amounted to the sum $222O.O0
The amount expended for the year
1908 was $45,0S3. and inventory
shows valuation of $G,O2S. 50 some of

SUGAR TRUST INDICTMENTS

The indictment of sugar trust officials for conspiracy in restraint of trade by the absorp- tion and shutting down of big competing re- tinery in Philadelphia will put the antitrust law to a new test of efficacy. Purchase or con trol of competitors for the purpose of stopping their operations and reducing the force of com petition is a familiar trust proceeding. In this instance, 1t was by scurvy trick that control of the Philadelphia plant was obtained, and the trust has practically confessed guilt by making restitution. It remains to be seen, whether under the Federal law, the trust officials con- cerned in the transaction may be punished
 As everybody knows, the Roosevelt admins tration, on the advice of Attorney General Bon aparte, refused to take any action against the trust, on the ground that the Supreme court de- cision m the Knight case was bar to prosecu- tlon. In that case the trust had bought the stock of four competing refneries, and it was sought to cancel the contracts of sale as consti- tuting a restraint of trade and tending to mon opolize the business of sugar refining. The supreme court held that if monopoly were ere ated by the purchase of four refineries, it was a monopoly in production, and as such was not within the prohibition of the antitrust law. In other words, the monopoly was held not to have affected interstate commerce, with which alone the antitrust act deals Does the same prn- ciple apply to the case now beginning9 Ev
 denty the law officers of the government think not or else they hope to secure some modifica- tion of the former decision It has been held, we believe, by the circuit court in the tobacco trust case that the Knight decision has already been modified by later opinions of the Supreme court, so that it may be that broader view of the real question at issue may be taken should the matter reach our highest judicial tribunal

ETIQUETTE OF THE TELEPHONE

There seems to be needed school of tele. phone etiquette wherever that method of con- versation without personal presence is preva- lently employed. It was supersensitiveness that moved a telephone operator to commit sui eide the other day after she had been repri, manded by a superintendent because she talked back pertly to patron who swore at her. New ertheless, no one would claim that the man at the other end of the wire had any right to swear. But he forgot too readily that he was not talking to an impassive piece of cold ma chinery, but to another human being.
 It may be admitted that the telephone, while an instrument of such constant utility and con- venence that this generation may wonder how the fathers ever managed their affairs without its time saving aid, is frequently cause of vex- ation. What patron, feeling the instant and i'm perious pressure of hurry, has not felt the spir- 1t of impatient and sometimes incredulous re- volt against that recurrent voice of Central saying "Busy2' The caller is perhaps busy also, quite too busy to calmly stand and wait, But that little word is conclusive. There is naught to do but to submit; and submission is not made easier by the suspicion that the opera tor may herself be busy with something else than her business. But courtesy implies pa tience, and many persons have learned that angry protest avails not to hasten the connec ton
 The code of telephone ethics demands that ct iquette shall not be modified or forgotten mere ly because the two persons interchanging words
