A DETECTIVE ACCOUNTING.

Now that full month has elapsed since the
Hiilsville tragedy, it might be well II the State
were given some Official statement reporting
progress"
For thirty days the mountains are supposed
to have been swarming with detectives.
The net results are the capture Of three minor
members OF the gang that deied the law in its
temple; while the two men who are supposed
to have been chiefly responsible for the shooting
are still at large.
OF the three captives, one was taken on in
formation furnished the detectives AZ to his
whereabouts, and the others gave themselves
UP because they were hungry.
We do not know exactly what this campaign
has cost the State, nor what the average force
has been. 1t Is understood that $40 a day and
expenses for each seuth Is the price that is being
paid, in addition to the rewards offered. This
makes quite a tidy sum. when 1t is remem
detectives established censorship of means OF
communication and have been given the rare
privilege OF declaring through several counties
what is tantamount to martial law.
After thirty days OF waiting. II is not un-

showing the cost of the two captures, and a
general idea of the plans for the summer cam

BACK TO THE MINORS.

There is something peculiarly pathetic about
the passing OF "big league ball player to the
minors" Here is man who has won his
way up from the vacant lots to perhaps a posi-
tion where he has attracted more real interest
and attention than the President of the United
States. His path has been Of roses. He
has been the pride Of his town. his state league

big cities OF two or three commonwealths Then,
CT a sudden, he reaches the pinnacle Of oppor-

the famous ball player holds on because he is
wise, with the wisdom of age. He is an old
man on the ball field. who in other activities is
still in easy memory Of adolescence. After
while he plays less frequently. Everybody un-

Gernlany's Trust Policy.

Much has been said about the difference be-
tween the German trust policy and that Of the
United States. That difference was strikingy
brought out by ministerial defense of combi-
nations.
The secretary of the interior for Prussia ex-
pressed concern lest the German steel syndicate
should dissolve. He hoped the agreement would
be extended in the interest OF national industry.
OF course. the government would watch II.
it does other combinations. and would not hesi-
tate to interfere, regulate, enter into partner
snip, even take the whole industry in
case of necessity. The government had no
general theories to lay down and was not look
ing for any. 1T Is frankly opportunist and prac-
teal. 1t does what it can and must. 1t realizes
that private monopoly may become dangerous
and unmanageabe, but 1t has thought OF
prohibiting all combinations that account

its merits.

The New Bloody Assizes.

All those who mystified in any manner
by Mr. Roosevelt's daily change OF ground In
his attacks upon the courts have only to recur
to the cause OF his irritation to find everything
perfectly plain.
His quarrel with the courts has no basis ex-
cept that in a few instances they have refused
to sustain him in unlawful and unconstitutional
course. What he wants Is courts that viii DO
things regardless OF their oaths When In his
judgment a policy is right. nothing like law
or a constitution must stand in the way OF
il.
II this idea we're to prevail We should have
n judicial absolutisn indeed We should have
judges who held themselves above law. We
should have judges whose sole guide would be
their own caprice. We should have judicial
reign Of terror like that which obtained on the
bloody asszes.
Yet the agtator who In fact presents this
nonstrous idea to the people has the impu-
tdence to couple It with denunciattons OF the,
present tyranny OF courts and exhortAtions to
the effect that the people must rule!
He wants judges to rule arbitrarily.-St. Louis
