The Ingenuity of Inventors.

The ingenuity of Inventors and
manufacturers is ever at work in the
endeavor to reduce the expense of
production, and at the same time to
improve the quality of articles having
a large sale. This has been so in the
case of farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, ETC., and now it is ap-
parent in the safety razor field. Thou
sands of this style of razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to IS each and CIV
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture, and the result is
seen in the "Shrp Shavr" razor, which
is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 134 Leonard street, New
York. 1t is superior to any razor
sold. being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hay
ing two or three razors and a~lternat-
Ing them in use. This practice of al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale of this low priced-im<-
plement is having in eyearyy1section and

OIL COMPANY MUST PAY
Texas State Courts Competent to
Impose Large Fine.
United States Supreme Bench IMAM
imous in Filming Waters-Pierce
Oil Company.

Washington, D. C.-The Supreme
Court of the United States affirmed
the decree of the State courts of Texas
imposing a fine of $1.623.000 on the
Vaters-Pierce Oil Company, of St.
Louis, and ousting it from the State
on the charge of violating the Texas
antitrust law.
The court also sustained the action
Of the Texas State courts in the ap-
pnintment of Robert j. Eckhardt as
receiver, and thus again decided
against the company, which sought to
have sustained the action of the Fed
eral court in appointing c. B. Dor
chester at the instance of the COM
pany.
The decisions in all the cases were
unanimous.
The case turned on the point as to
whether the proceedings of the State
against the company had been in ac-
cordance with the constitutional re.
quirement for due process of law and
the court held that it was. While re-
garding the fine as very large, Justice
Days opinion held that the State
court was competent to impose it.
One of the ~receiYership cases came
to the court on a writ of error from
the Supreme judicial District Court
of Texas, and the other from the Uni.
ted States Circuit Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit, in both of which
courts the decisions were favorable
to the State.
The principal opinion in the cases
was handed down in the custer case
involving the fine imposed by the
State courts.
Dealing with the contention that
the alleged conspiracy between the
Waters-Pierce Company and the STAN
dard Company to control the price of
oil in Texas vas outside the State of
Texas, and, therefore, not within the
jurisdiction of the Texas State courts,
Justice Day said that the agreement
had been executed within the State.
This circumstance was, he said, con-
elusive with the court that the. convic-
ton was had for acts inside the States
borders.

miittttee
AS the result of the passage of sew
eral laws in the last few years, with
other reasons, the number of men EN-.
ployed to discover violations of stat
utes has increased nearly t%wentyfold
within a decade. According to Mr..
Tawney, the number of these men on
the Federal roll just prior to the
Spanish War was less than 200; to-
day 1t exceeds 5000, and the appro-
priatiOns for their maintenance have
jumped from a little over 81, 600 900
to seven or eight times that amount.
This is aside from other expenditures.
Some of the large items contained
in the current appropriation act, that
is, those that were passed last winter,
were shown by Mr.. Tawney and Mr..
Smith, another member of the Ap-
preparations Committee. They are as
follows:
For the detection of violations of
the postal laws, $1,105, 900.
For the detection of violations OF
the internal revenue laws, $125,OOO.
For the detection of frauds on the
customs, 100000.
For the detection of counterfeiters,
$115,000.
For investigations by the Bureau
of Corporations, SITS 600.
For special agents and inspectors
in the enforcement of the Interstate
Commerce act, $3.50, 900.
For the detection and prevention
of depredations n publiclands, $780,
900.
For the investigation of Antitrust
law violations, $250,600.
For special agents for the Pension
Bureau, $380,000.
For the enforcement of the Meat
Inspection law Congress appropriated
$1,000 900, the bulk of which is said
to have been expended for inspection
services.
Similarly. a large part of an appro-
priation of $826,0O0 for the enforce
ment of the Pure Food act, it is as
serted, is paid out for inspectors. A
sum approaching $1,000, 900 annual
ly is said to be expended for the en-
forcement of the immigration and
Chinese exclusion laws.
All this is aside from %appropria-
tions for the collection of evidence in
the ordinary litigation which occu-
pies the time of the Department of
Justice, including the pay of United
States marshals, special attorneys and
experts of various kinds. 1t readily
can be seen that with appropriations
made in lump form, such as the fore
going, it is difficult to segregate the
amounts paid out for actual work of
detection of all kinds, and it is this,
among other things, that the inyesti-
] cation is expected to disclose.
