MIR. wICKERsHAM,s SUCCESS.

Mr.. Wickersham, the federal attorney
general, has been accused at divers
times of being not particularly sCited
to hold such an important place in
presidential cabinet. He has been spo-
ken of as being closely allied with the
corporations. the interests and all
such inimical things. Yet his annual
report of the work of the department
of Justice, shows that during the first
year of his incumbency at it's head, it
has been more active than ever before
in its history in the prosecution Of
cases of fraud against the government
and the public on the part of corpora
tions and individuals.
This report is one long story of frauds
against the government. Trusts, So
called and real, their alleged conspira-
cies to defeat the law; land frauds,
customs frauds. frauds on the internal
revenue, rebates. bucket shops and

fraudulent uses OF the malls, have made
1910 the most strenuous year in the
history of the department of justice.
But it would not have been such a
strenuous one had there been no dis
position on the part of Mr.. Wicker
sham to prosecute these frauds. Esv-
erybody knows that frauds of this sort
have been perpetrated year in and year
out for the past decade and more. But
the department of justice has never be-
fore attempted to cope with them on
such a large scale, either through un-
willingness or lack of ability on the
part of its head. Nor have such frauds
ever before been dealt with with so much
success as Mr.. Wickersham and his as
sistants have achieved.
And the success that Mr.. Wickersham
has attained in the prosecution of cor
poration and other frauds is small in
comparison to what it will probably
amount to when there is a final adj
Indication of the many important cases
he has instituted and which are still
pending. Mr.. Wickersham has found
way to convict corporations and trusts
for their contempt Of the law. There
is no good reason to believe that he
will be any less successful with the
many cases now pending than he has
been with the few which he has already
handled and brought to successful
conclusion.
There has been no beating Of the
TOM toms on the part of President Taft
and his attorney general as to what
they intended to do with corporations
and individuals that have no respect for
the law. Neither have they climbed up
on the housetops and yelled how these
criminals ought to be proceeded against
and punished. In place of these plays
to the galleries there has been steady
effort to bring guilty corporations and
| individuals to the bar of justice. And
a material success has crowned these
efforts. Surely this is the better way.

been sticky fly paper left in the front
windows of the store and the cat had
got into it. Cats and sticky fly paper
mix but they don't assimilate. The
cat had one sheet of the paper on one
side and the other piece on the other
side, and she looked like a sandwich
man. Her feet had become involved
in the paper, too, and in her rounds,
to relieve herself, she had picked up
a number of pieces of paper which
stuck to her as close as your little

MAKE ALL MATCHES "sAFETIEs."

"Of the two hundred and fifty bill
lion matches used yearly in this coun-
try-more than seven a day for every
man, woman and chiId-four-f1fth
are of a type that practically every
nation of commercial importance pro-
hibits,' says the Survey. For the
head of the ordinary double dip par
lor match, the tiny round tip. is made
of a poison worse than deadly to many
of the workers in match factories.
Stealing insidiously through a tiny
crack in tooth, it rots the tooth, rots
the jawbone, requires mutilating oper-
atoms and sometimes results in death
after lingering years of suffering. The
dead bone, imbedded in living flesh,
discharges its foul remains through

But there is a harmless substitute,
sesqui-sulphide of phosphorus, for the
poisonous white phosphorus. It is to
our disgrace that the United States
has Jagged behind other lands in de-
handing it's use. The Indifference of
big business, the tariff, internal reve-

harmless but more expensive material,
lack of public information on the
subject, and the voiceless obscurity of
the match workers have all been fac

Playing Cards in Spain.


The manufacture of playing cards
Is a Spanish speciality. The industry,
ike the paper industry. is well rep
resented In this region. At Barcelona
SIX nrms manufacture playing cards.
One local manufacturer makes all
styles Of playing cards. ranging from
q to 240 cards to the pack, accord
ing to the games for which they are
used. The regular Spanish deck, used
for treSillo, is composed of 48 cards.
Cards are manufactured for export.
particularly to South America and for
mer colonies. In 1908 --latest figures to
hand) Spain exported $140,0 600 worth
or playing. cards, of which $73.620
went to the Philippines. $15,660 to
cuba, S11,880 to Argentina, and &c.,
600 to Uruguay.
The Spanish government collects an
excise tax of 80 centimos (about az
cents, on every pack of cards manu-
featured in Spain. It was formerly
the wrapper. At present, however, to
avoid evasions of the law, manufacture
ers are compelled to send one card
CASUALLY an ace) out of every deck to
stated that this system gives better
results. This tax Is RENTED in case
cards are exported.
The retail business in cards is fall
ing off. This is attributed to the fact
that clubs and Casinos which buv di-
-
cards, while still in good condition,
to cafes and individuals.
Outside of leading casinos the Span
fsh deck of 4S cards is used almost
those used elsewhere in design and
coloring.
The so-called French deck of So
cards is used to certain extent prin-
cipally in the two or three leading
clubs. Such decks are manufactured
here, but the demand is very small. A
very plain deck of this description is
retailed here at 2.25 pesetas (about
40 cents, with the silver peseta figured
at 18 centso.
Imported cards pay duty of 9
gold epesetas (6s--cents)a per -kilo ca
English pounds) in addition to excise
tax.
The leading local clubs use chiefly
packs of So cards. Cards bought here
come to 102 pesetas ($18.36) per
gross delivered. Cards imported from
France cost about ITO pesetas ($S0.6O)
per gross. This is the price of cards
including duty, excise tax, and freight
The government takes possession OF
all imported cards at the. frontier and
sends them to Madrid for stamping
the importer paying the freight to
and from Madrid. These cards brought
to Barcelona sell in Paris at rs
pesetas ($14.04). A contract just has
been made with leading French con-
Germ, which Is TO supply this club with

lish cards were formerly used for

here. 1t does not appear probable
