Harassing Jurors.

1t is reported that criminal court
jurors are being harassed by per-
sons who make 1t their particular
business TO reprimand jurors after
yerdlcts have been returned. These
alleged busy-bodies have Their own
ideas as to what should happen to
men on trial, and If juries fail to
return verdlcts 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 harass. ng who are
commanded by the state to do jury
duty. They are not there of their
own free will as usual tn ng 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
practice is a peril to justice as
there-may be men on iuries some
tines who thus nnd'ng themselves
criticized by men who ought to
know better may be Influenced IN
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 fore gn-born
persons, These busy bod es engender
class hatred. They should be given
to understand that Jurors are an
important part Of court and tina,
persons have no more moral right at
least to approach and reproye them
for their verd!cta than such persons
or anyone else would have to reprl-
mand the trial Judge because they
differed from him as to his
sentences.

Antitrust Records.

An appendix to President Taft's
message to the Congress on the
antitrust subject is of more than
ord nary Importance as 1t is a con-
Csc review OF what the courts and
various administrations have been
and are do ng under the Sherman
antitrust law.
Beginning with the administration
Iof President Harr son, Preslden
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
.stituted and two won. With the
Roosevelt admin stration forty-four
suits we're instituted and the gov
eminent obtained favorable action
on. twenty-three Of them with sew
eral pending.
Thus far within the Taft admins
tration thirty-seven court actions
have been brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law. Many of them
are of too recent date to be at the
stage of decree 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 ne:ghborhood of $780,
900 in fines has been imposed, the
major portion of which has been COL
lected.
In view of this record, it is not a
matter of truth to say thas 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 yes the vigorous manner EN-,
ployed in breaking up combinations
and monopolies.
The antitrust records Of Roose,
welt and Taft are not to be desplsed
by any except those in sympathy
with trusts and monopoIies.

Are there any among us who

let US admonish them that they
should acknowledge such action re-
luctantly and with shame. Let them
reflect how such action would appear
to them If they were the home

this disloyal fashion. AS general
rule, nothing can be obtained in the
shops of other cities that can nor
be obtained here. See what conf
dence home merchants have shown
IN provid ng these splendid empori-
ums crammed with articles adapted
to the most exacting taste and to
the slenderest purse. Do we not all
owe them tribute of loyal sup
port?

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-News at Parkersburg
admits this in respect to Parkers-
burg and refers to that city's pos :
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 a community
than through the efforts Of only a
few and in this both new and old
members of the CIarksburg Board
of Trade have cause for gratlfcat on
and encouragement. Says the Dis
patch-News:
The people of Huntington, Charles.
ton, Clarksburg, Morgantown and
Fairmont have rallied magniacentiy
to the support of their chambers of
commerce or boards OF trade, hun
dreds of business men in each town
joining just to help out with a
membership fee. And yet, the
board of commerce of Parkersburg
goes Flooding along with less than
ono hundred pay ng members. ana
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 a
shame and disgrace; the Parker
burg board OF commerce should
have a membership of 1000, and
every application to belong should
be accompanied by a check for a
years dues.

Then mamma explained to her lit.

tiny stamp-like sticker which is
placed on the back OF letters and
packages coming from Santa Claus
and others. Every seal costs penny,
and every penny goes to fight and
cure consumption. which, is the real
name of the white plague, and which
is an awful sickness. Mamma told
her of little girl IN their own neigh
