Anti.Trllst Isecords.

IAN appendix to President Taft's
message to the Congress on the
antitrust subject is of more than
Ordinary importance as it is a con-
else review of what the courts and
various administrations have been
and are doing under the Sherman
antitrust law,
Beginning with the administration
of president HARRISON, PresidenH
Taft shows that the department OF
justice brought seven suits under
that law and won three During
the second administration of Grover
Cleveland the government prose-
cuted eight, suits and won four. I'm
der mckinley three suits were In
stftuted and two won. With the
Roosevelt administration forty-four
suits we're instituted and the gov
ernment obtained favorable action
on twenty-three of them with sew
eral pending.
Thus far within the Taft admins
tration thirtyzseven court actions
have been, brought under the sher-
man. ANTITRUST law. Many OF them
are of too recent date to be at the
stage ofdecree IN both the lower and
higher courts. but there has been
favorable action in eight or ten
cases and combinations have been
dissolved in several instances. Be
sides .n: the neighDorhood of $780,
900 in fines has been imposed, the
major portion OF which has been col
Iected. ~
In view of this record, it is not a
matter OF truth. to say that the
trusts have not been vigorously
prosecuted under the. antitrust law.
especially during the admin:stra-
tions of former President Roosevelt
and President Taft. Those who
have any conception OF court pro-
cedure at all must confess that the
department of justice has been very
busy and the success attained en-
phas!zes the vigorous manner en-
pIoyed in breaking up combinations
and monopolies.
The anti-trust records OF Roose-
Welt and Taft are not to be despised
by any except those in sympathy
with trusts and monopoIies.

Away Ahead.

On the score of progressiveness
through the channel Of an alert board
OF trade, Clarksburg has gone away
ahead OF most West Virginia cities.
The Dispatch-iNews at Parkersburg
admits this in respect to Parkers-
burg and refers to that city's posi-
ton in the premises as a shame and
a disgrace. The Parkersburg news
paper also recognizes that there is
much more to be gained through
the united effort OF large number
OF business men of community
than through the efforts of only
few and in this both new and old
members OF the Harrisburg Board
of Trade have cause for qualification
and encouragement. Says the Dis
patch-News:
The people Of Huntington, CHARLES
ton, Clarksburg, Morgantown and
Fairmont have rallied magntficently
to the support OF their chambers Of
commerce or boards of trade, hun
dreds OF business men in each town

board OF commerce of Parkersburg
goes pIoddtmgs along with less than
one hundred paying members, and
doing as successful work for Par
kersburg as any, of these richer con-
temporarIes have done or are doing
for their respective cities. 1t is
shame and a disgrace; the ParkerB
burg board of commerce should
have a membership OF 1000, and
every application to belong should
be accompanied by check for a
years dues.

HarassinR Jurors.

It is reported that criminal court
Jurors are being harassed by per-
sons who make it their particular
business to reprimand jurors after
verdicts have been returned. These
alleged 3busy-bodies have their own
ideas as to what should happen to
men. on trial, and If juries fail to
return yerdfcts conforming to such
ideas, the jurors are told by them
that they did not do their duty
There ought to be some way to pro-
tect men from such insults, rep
rimands and harassing who are
commanded by the state to do jury
duty. They are not there OF their
own free will as a usual thing and
most OF them would prefer not to do
Jury duty. Why should they be
made victims OF adverse criticism
because their verdicts do not suit
designers and meddlers? The
practlce is a peril to justice as
there may be men on juries some
times who thus finding themselves
criticized by men who ought to
know better may be influenced III
later trials to act to some extent at
least so as to allay such further
criticism.
Especially. is this true in the
trials OF colored and foreign-born
persons. These busy-bodies engender
class hatred. They should be given
10 1nderstand that jurors are an
important part of court and that
persons have no more moral right at
least to approach and reprOve them
for their verdicts than such persons
or anyone else would have to repri-
mand the trial Judge because they
diRered from him as to hs
sentences.

FIND A USE
FOR COAL DUST
BY ]. A. RREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the starr
WASHINGTON. July 6.-The Bu-
reau of Mines announces the discov-
cry of a practical process for making
briquets from coal dust, as well as
from the poorer qualities of Ignite
found in many parts of the West.
More than 10000 square miles of
this heretofore almost useless Ignite
is said to be in Montana, the Dakotas
and Texas, and the discovery prom
! Uses a profitable industry in these sec
tions, as well as cheaper fuel supply
for the people of those sections.
Mines heretofore compelled to dump
slack coal will be able to turn this
waste into profitable fuel by the use
of the newly discovered method.
The bureau recently imported one
of the most improved coal briquetting
machines from Germany, where the
briquetting of Ignite coal is much
farther advanced, and experiments
conducted at the Pittsburg plant indi-
cate that the new briquets can be
manufactured at a cost that makes
it commercially possible, The diff
Guilty heretofore with the manufac-
ture of briquets has been the cost
of the pitch, which is considered
necessary to hold the coal dust to-
gether.
The cost of the new briquets, load
ed on cars from a plant located 1T
the mines, is estimated at $2.51 in
Texas and 1888 in Montana and the
Dakotas. This applies to briquetting
run-of-mine Ignite to improve its
heat value and weather resisting
properties rather than to briquetting
waste or slack coal, the cost of the
latter being estimated at consider
ably less. A bulletin on the subject,
just issued by the Bureau of Mines,
may be had by addressing the direc-
