Washington Letter
By Tavenner.


restraint of trade which ought to
be condemned could not be
reached under the Supreme
courts Interpretation of the An
thrust law in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco trust cases.
There are few who care to
take issue with the President.
The average man believes that
the trusts could" be reached,
if the government would set out
in good faith to reach them,
The vital issue is not whether
the trusts "could'' be reached.
The real important question is:
Why is that not a single guilty
trust magnate has been sent to
Jail, or even called to the bar OF
justice? The answer is that
the government does not send
trust magnates to jail nor con-
troll the trusts because the trusts
control the standpat republican
machine, and for fourteen years
the standpat republican machine,
in recognition of campaign fund
donations and other favOrs, has
permitted special privilege to
name the man to be in charge of
the prosecuting machinery Of
the government.
The present attorney general
is George Wickersham, whose
Hast act before taking charge Of
the government prosecuting ma
chinery was to draw down his
share of a handsome fee paid
his law firm by the sugar trust.
When a movement was started
to bring about a Congressional
investigation of the sugar trust,
Mr.. Wickersham headed it off
by having President Taft send a
message to Congress advising
against the Investigations on the
ground that it might give i'm
munity to the mem higher up
and otherwise embarass the adj
ADMINISTRATION. Although the
trust practically admitted having
stolen over $4,000, 10000 from the
government by returning it af-
ter the crime was discovered, not
a, single one of the trust mag
mates into whose pockets the
$2,000,000 would have gone had
not the theft been discovered,
was called to the bar Of justice,
much less punished. Mr.. Wick
ersham permitted an underling
secretary and a few dock hands
to alone stand the vengeance of
the law. When American sugar
interests purchased vast tracts
of rich sugar lands in the Phil
ippines in violation of the law,
Mr.. WickerSham again came to
the rescue with an opinion up
holding the sale.
Mr.. Wickersham is now pos
ing as the great trust buster. He
pretends that he will drive the
trusts out of business, and some
of the trusts pretend that they
take his threats seriously. But
the record of the attorney gen.
eral is not one that gives the PEG
l PIE any reason to hope for en-,
forcement of the law against
criminal trusts or gull
ty trust magnates. The
| first thing Mr.. Wickersham die
d upon taking office was to droI
l important suits against member
e of the beef trust. His explana
e ton was that he didn't belieyI

wrong.

Our Frightened Trust.

Chairman Ben Johnson Of the
Democratic District Committee
of Congress, has discovered that
the District of Columbia once
borrowed twenty-one million
dollars from the government, and
forgot to pay it back. He now.
proposes to collect this debt. In
consequence, the Washington real
estate trust is in mysteries. In
the capital city the government
pays half the city expenses, hence
taxes are low. Despite this
fact, and the further fact that
hundreds of houses are unOccu-
pied, rents and property values
are higher than in any other
city of the size in the country.
Besides the real estate dealers,
the idle rich, who come to Wash
ingtOn and built social palaces,
are calling Chairman johnson a
despOt.

Our naval authorities must have had

concerning the worth OF the subject OF

ing the welfare OF the children that
need government investigation, but
only one more can be noticed-that OF
child iabor-the people should know
what the effect OF labor is on the gro ~
ing child; what proportion OF working
chi dren make progress toward a
higher degree of industrial efficiency,
what proportion develop normal health
and strength and what proportion be-
come delinquent or criminal.
II government should give the al
thoritative word, it would be known
whether child labor, as exists today,
does, or does not. hamper the physica

Since the character of the adult
population OF the next generation de-

the children OF the present. it seems
on automatic to say. THE children's
