Works Both Ways

President Taft was made angry be
cause Congressman Littleton of New
York spoke in condemnation of tn
Sherman law at the same banque
board at which he was to speak in it
defense. If the President had him
self protected the dignity of his Office
by refraining from talking politics OF
his trip through the West, his dis
pleasure at Mr.. Littleton's actor
might have been in better taste. Blu
he had just Travelled 1920 miles,
been seen by nearly five million peo'
pie, and made 306 speeches to an ag'
gregate audience of approximately
1,555,000 people. Apparently the
President desires that only his side oil
public questions should be heard. II
the president chooses to 60 upon the
stump, he must not expect that he
can do all the talking himself. The
census Of opinion is that if the dignity
of the office of President was not in.
jured by Mr.. Taft in making a politi-
cal speech while guest at a banquet,
it was not figured by Mr.. Littleton in
stating his views on the same subject
discussed by the President.
Mushroom Millionaires''
Protection" says famous states
man, "enriches the few at the expense
of the many, the rich at the expense
of the poor. A half-century of the
operation of the protective policy in
the United States illustrates its effect.
Of all the factors that have contribut-
ed to the colony of mushroom mil
lionaires in this country, nothing has
played such an important part as the
protective tariff. A majority of the
who live in mansions along

In Germany the tariff wall is even
higher than in the United States.

Winona, Dec. 15.-The first violence
occurred in the street car motormen's
strike and it brought to a halt the
attempt of the company to resume
service. One of the three cars on the
line was attacked by sympathizers
early in the evening In the extreme
outskirts of the city, where stones
and bottles were hurled through the
windows.
No enc was hurt and no arrests
were made. Immediately all of the
cars were taken off and the city is
again without service. Adequate po-
lice protection has been demanded by
the receivership management. Strike

FOLLOWS OUT PRESIDENT TAFT's
ERAL SUPERVISION.
ARGUES FOR LOCALIZED MERGER
Record Of Activity in Federal Prose,
cutions Is Reviewed.-CIoser Re.
lation With Department Of
Commerce and Labor,

Washington, Dec. IA. - Pursuing
President Taft's recommendation that
an executive bureau be created to su-
pervise corporations chartered under
a federal incorporation act, Attorney
General Wickersham, in his annual re-
port submitted to congress, suggests
that the bureau of corporations be
raised to that dignity, even in the alb
sence of the proposed federal incorpo-
ration statute.
This branch of the department of
commerce and labor, the attorney gen.
eral urges, should be brought into
closer relation with his department
and adds tAlat it might we'll be avail
ed of as the nucleus for an administra-
tive board under whose supervision
consultations or mergers for lawful
purposes might be formed"
In enforcing the Sherman antitrust
law, the attorney general points out
that the department of justice and the
courts are confronted by economic
rather than legal problems when it
comes to working out methods of dis
Indignation after a corporation has
been declared an illegal combination.
The department enlisted the assist
ance of the bureau of corporations in
the dissolution Of the tobacco trust,
and it would be of great value to the
legal branch of the government, Mr..
Wickersham says, if the functions
of the bureau should be so enlarged
that it could be called upon officially
to make Investigations and report it's
conclusions with respect to plans for
the voluntary or enforced disintegra-
t1on of monopolistic combinations.
The attorney general reviews the
record of year of intense activity in
federal prosecutions and points out
that the department of justice finan-
cially sustained itself as the result of
the contribution of $4,204,115 to the
United States treasury in the shape
of fines collected, customs duties re-
coveries, etc. The expense of the de-
partment, including the office of the
attorney general, all of the district at
torneys and assistants throughout the
country, aggregated $3,223,773.
In a comprehensive review of the
antitrust prosecutions, the attorney
general shows that the IL antitrust
civil suits pending at the beginning OF
the last fiscal year were augmented
by 81 additional actions, while the IL
criminal prosecutions under the same
statute were increased by % more
prosecutions during the last fiscal
year.
Eight civil suits and similar num-
Der of criminal trials were brought to
conclusion during the year. In four OF
the civil prosecutions judgments were
rendered in favor of the United
States, while three were lost and one
was discontinued. Four convictions
were secured under the criminal
clause of the statute during the year
and four cases We're either quashed or
discontinued.

The durbar proper took place in
