Secret agents OF the bureau have

of an alleged trust is going on in a
dozen states at the same time.
by this practice the government eX-
pects To shorten the period of lnyest'
CATION and get prompt action
One Of the promised results Of this
policy is that the government will have
in the courts before the end OF the
calendar year probably a dozen anti
trust suits in which the department
feels assured of success.
In a broad sense the government
antitrust actions may be divided into
two classes those to which the Sher-
man law. as interpreted by the SUI
preme court. directly applies, ami
those where the additional question OF
control OF property by ownership OF
patents is involved.
The case now pending against the
electrical trust and the proceedings
against the United Shoe Machinery
company present questions regarding
patents.
All the antitrust cases on hand,
however, which have not proceeded 10
the point of action, are being syste-
matically investigated and either are
dismissed when no violation OF the law
is discovered or are turned over t. the
aw department for prosecution.

A STRONG DEMOCRAT.

Gov Marshall. Of Indiana, Is what
might he called candidate without
a boom. He is not an active canui-
date for the Democratic presldeh-
tial nomination with brass band
and a boom bureau. but is what
might be termed a passive candidate
Quietly pursuing the even tenor OF
his wav as governor Of Indiana. CIV
inc his State a good administration
strengthening his party and Incl
dentaly strengthening himself.
Marshall may not receive the nomi-
nation. which now seems likely to <"
70 Harmon. Clark or Wilson. but he
is hound to be q factor in the conven-
ton. and if not given first place II
he can be induced to accept second
the party will have cause to congrai-
ulate itself. His presence on the
ticket would mean the almost Ger
tain landing Of Indiana in the Demo
cratic column in 1912. since the gov
ernor is immensely popular out there
and the HooSier State IS preparing
TO break away from the Republican
party Gov. Marshall is the kind OF
a man that the country has conii-
dence in. He is not radical. though
a progressive. not q dreamer hke
BNan and has no entanghng ALI
ances with railroads or corporations.
As we before stated the chances are
against him for first place on the
ticket. because he is not so much IN
the public eye as Harmon. Clark on
Wilson, but the party should use It's
best efforts between now and the
next convention to induce Gov. Mar
shall. if defeated for the presidential
nomination. to accept that Tor wee
president. If pressure is brought We
believe Indiana's executive rs too
good a Democrat to refuse.
The report Of Mr.. Charles V. Mer-
@ 18th. one of the best known attor-
news in Richmond city, to the COM
mittee considering the advisablllty
of changing the system Of govern
ment existing there, furnishes very
clear explanation of why Virginia
cities can not under present consti-
tutional provisions adopt the com
mission form Of government. MI.
Meredith, after showing that this
can not be done at present, recon-
mends as substitute what IS prac-
tically the "StauntOn plan. except
that his idea is to have an adminlsD
tratiye board instead of general
manager, Richmond being too large
for the city business to be attended
to by one man. He suggests that
all legislative work be left to the
council. and all administrative work
to the board.
Canadian reciprocity IS accomplish
ed so far as this country is concern
ed, but it has yet to run the gaunt-
let of popular election in Canada
and may or may not be successful at
the polls. The Canadian govern
ment is pledged to the measure and
has the necessary votes in parliament
to enact it as law, but unfortun-
ately the Canadian legislative body
has no cloture rule and as result
the minority has let it be known
that they will obstruct the passage
of the bill. Under these circum-
stances the government will be com
PEELED to appeal to the electorate,
and since the election can not take
place for some months yet, the
chances are that neither country will
enjoy the benefits of reciprocity be-
fore next year, if then.
