days, completed the connection of all
its slopes and workings above the 300

quantity and rich in quality, averaging
between $50 and 800 into the mill.

THE GOVERNMENT AT WORK
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
By FREDERIC J. HASKIM

brought against the government by
individuals. In cases where indiyid.
uals have claims against the govern
ment that may not be carried TO the
court OF claims. 1t becomes the duty
or the encouragement to sit in judg-
ment and make recommendations TO
the president IN the premises. His
decision practically amounts TO a final
verdict against which there is no APP
peal
The department OF Justice acts as
title attorney for the government.
The law provides that no money may
be expended for lands or buildings by
any or the executive departments un-
I'll the question OF title has been set
tied. As Uncle Sam Is a heavy realty
owner, and Is always In tho market
Tor additional property. the work OF
the department as title attorney en-.
cages the attention OF a considerable
force.
In the role OF prosecuting attorney
Tor the government the department OF
justice looks after all actions at law
or suits In equity In which the United
states has an interest III a moon
sinner violates the revenue laws he is
placed I'm custody OF a United States
marshal and is prosecuted by a dis
trict attorney, under the general d.
rection OF the department OF justice.
III man Is accused OF robbing the
mails he Is arrested by the inspectors
or the postoffice department and turn
ed over TO the local officers OF the de-
partment or justice for prosecution.
There are more violations OF the inter
nal revenue laws than Of any other
class of federal statutes Postal laws.
customs laws, and pension laws rank
in the order named with respect TO
the frequency OF their violation. The
department OF justice has no control
over the federal courts so far as the
judges are concerned, but the district
attorneys, the United States marshals,
and the clerks OF the courts, act under
its guidance. They are appointed by
the president with the advice and con
sent OF the senate. But the attorney
general Is nearly always consulted be-
fore the appointments are made. and
in the discharge OF their official duties
they are expected to be guided by the
advice and recommendations OF the
department or justice.
In the civil suits brought by or
against the government great inter
ests often are involved. Such a suit
may relate to the constitutionality OF
an income tax law and involve untold
millions OF dollars. This was the case
when the income tax provision OF the
Wilson tariff law was declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court BY
that decision the court took away from
the federal government millions OF
dollars In taxes. The suits against
the enforcement of the corporation
tax provision of the Payne tariff law
are another instance OF the character

upon TO defend.

When the attorney -generalship first
was created il carried with II sal

his clerks salary out OF that. He was
not required 10 reside in Washington.
and was permitted 10 continue his
private law practice while serving as
encouragement of the United States.
In 1914 the duties OF his office were
increased, but il was not until 1870

When congress passes an act OF
legislation. il usually Is the workman
ship of many hands. The original
bill is amended and reamended until
il often bears but few marks OF its
original authorship. The result Is that
a completed act very often is a patch
work OF IDEAS, and not especially not
ed for its perspicacity OF expression.
II Is often difficult TO understand just
what congress meant to say. and some
times one must read carefully the
voluminous debates OF the house and
senate before he can interpret correct
ly the meaning OF its legislation. This
gives rise to differences Of opinion as
to the true meaning Of many legisla-
tive acts, and to many controversies
before the department and In the
courts. An instance of this has been
the construction Of the pure food law.
That law left much doubt as TO ex-

DEBS JABS ROOSEVELT,
GOMPERS AND OTHERS
Calls Former President Dishonest
and says Labor Head Betrays
American Workngmen.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Eugene V.
Debs, formerly candidate for the so
cialist party for president, opened the
fall campaign OF the socialist party
in Cook county yesterday in a speech
In which he launched into philippines
against the United State supreme
court, the national constitution, labor
unions, federal judges and finally in
dividuals. In the latter class he nam
ed Theodore Roosevelt, John Nit.
Cortelyou, Judge Peter s. Grosscup,
Of Chicago, and August Belmont.
THE constitution OF the United
States" said Mr.. Debs, lis a class
document. II was prepared by the
colonial capitalists with the distinct
idea of keeping the working classes
down.
The United States supreme court
has always been capitalist organi-
zation. 1t is made up of nine corpora
ton lawyers, and its master Is the
trusts who control the government in
every department.
THE American people In some re-
spects are the most cowardly on
earth The thing for them to do is
to organize great industrial organi-
cation, embracing all the workers
and not just a collection of labor
unions. The day OF the labor union
is past. II was a good thing once, but
now is the tool OF the capitalist and
the capitalist politician.
The so-called labor leaders are
misleaders. We see Sam Gompers
and John Mitchell sitting at the same
table with August Belmont and other
rich enemies OF the working classes
or the two men-Belmont and Com
pers-I have infinitely more respect
for the former, plutocrat and plumber
er though he may be, than for the
latter, man who betrays the people
he has been chosen to serve"
Discussing former President Roose-
welt, Mr.. Debs said:
He Is a dishonest man. He advo-
Gates publicity for campaign contri-
buttons, but ignores challenge to
publish the names of the trusts which
furnished the money to elect him in
1904. George B. Cortelyou, Roose-
welt lackey. went to the trusts and
used the information he had to hold
them up for millions"
