S3,S56.4S; the Money Trust investiga- ton thus far made, $9,615.O7; The Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries investfga- ton, $2,06o.06; District of Columbia tai expenditure up to August 10 for all these various investigations both of regular and special committees of an aggregate of $101 ,6S4.77.
 It is especially interesting to con- pare the splendid service rendered by these several committees with the cost of other investigations. The Immigra- tion Investigation Committee appoint ed several years ago is a notable ex- ample. Its work of investigation, no broader in scope than that of several of these committees. cost the govern ment more than $7o0.0 The Pinchot- Ballinger investigation conducted . in the last Congress cost more than the 
 Investigations of the present Congress, and a comparison of all the investiga- tions made during the sixteen years preceding this Congress have shown a much greater expenditure of money than these investiga tions have cost. and in many instances the investigat- ing committee themselves have shown profligacy in expenditure that was almost scandalous. Especially is that true of the expenditures of the Ir1- migration Committee in its travels abroad.
 Never in the history of the Repub- lie have investigation committees, with SO small amount of money, ac- complished so much in real achieve ment and in beneficial result as have the committees to which reference is made.

FORCING I'll ErRUsT LAW

(New York Worldly
 The indictment by a United States grand jury in Texas of various Stand ard Oil men will soon show whether the recent Judgment of the supreme court against that corporation had teeth in it or not Restraint of trade conspiracy and combination are al- legged. Furthermore there is charge that the decree of the court dissolving the trust has been violated. John D. Archbold and Henry c. Folger of New York appear among the defendants. the theory of personal guilt and so will reach individuals who escaped at the other hearing. It is likely to be supplemented by proceedings for con- tempt. In this way the department of justice will be armed with the an- ion of the supreme court interpreting the law. If there has been viola ton of law there has also been cons tempt of court, conviction of either or both of which will be a serious mat ter.
 Probably no other judgment of the supreme court has been so generally misunderstood and misrepresented as that which dissolved the Standard Oil company. It has been to the political interest of some people to belittle it. Others may have hoped to find pecun- have any meaning and the depart ment of justice has backbone, that de- cision can be used to jail every trust Iawbreaker in the land.
 For more than 20 years there were two questions as to important trust ment and the other was law interpre- tation. The last word has been said on the subject of interpretation. Noth- ing remains now but enforcement.

By Cora Hartman.) Forgetting the things that are past, Fighting the battle anew Victory will crown us at last, If striving we try to be true. Brothers, we fa1ter, I know But 'tis only the body's weak will And the remembrance of yesterdays
 woe,
 The spirits unquenchable still. (Forgetting the failure or sin) Stainless is breaking the morn, Dauntless the battle begin Why! brothers the day is new born. Win? We own no defeat, We'll fight with the best of them yet, Aye, and conquer. Oh! victory is sweet When nob1y won and the foe nobly
 met.
 It's only when our aim is sordid and
 low And with selfish trickery we trys to
 prevail, Passing by the worlds grief and woe Uncaring. Oh! that-.'that'' is to fail. Forgetting the things that are past Fighting the battle anew, Victory will crown us at last If only we try to be true.

FIRST THINGS

The first important dictionary of the English language was compiled by Dr. Samuel Johnson, who was born in Lichheld, England, the son of a bookseller, 203 years ago today. The dictionary was completed and pub- lished in 17755. The work was receiv- ed with great applause, and while a
 pioneer work of that character neces- sarily had many defects, it has re- naained the basis of all English dic- tionaries. Webster's first American dictionary was issued in 1928 It is to China that we must look for the first dictionary. Pa-out-she, a Chinese scholar, who lived about HOO B. C.,
 was the author of a standard diction- ary of his language, containing about 40 900 characters representing words.
 A Latin dictionary was compiled by Varro in the year 116 B. c. A Greek vocabulary by Julius Pol1ox appeared in 177 A. D. A polyglot dictionary in eight languages was published in 1500. The French Acamedy's first compilation of French words, edited by Vaugelas, was brought out in 1894.

 THE MAJORITY WAS TO RULE.
 This is Democracy and this only that there shall be MAJORITY rule.
 By majority of districts, by majority of delegates and by majority of ballots each issue decided in the aativethat there should be certain changes in lead ship that there should be direct primaries, and that MT. Wilson should receive the Bridgeport delegation to the Congressional convention.
 The delegates who entered convention had no free upon any of these questions They were acting under open orders from the highest Democratic tribunal the voters, speaking by ballot in primary.
 It the duty of the convention to change leaders, to proceed to the installation of direct primaries and to send a Congressional delegation for Wilson
 The convention simply obeyed orders
 As for the theory that minority of this, any Dem ocratic convention should be placed embarass, possibly prevent obedience to the party command has no standing in Democratic precedent.
 The will of majority be successfully executed only through harmonious agencies It would be rdicu- lous if it not wicked folly for instance create committee to install direct primaries and put upon considerable proportion of persons utterly opposed rect primaries.
 And Bridgeport, having determined that Mr. Wilson ought to be the city choice the duty of the convention to make him the choice, in such way that the councils of the city should not be divided.
 This the convention did
 The Democratic convention did it's work loyalty It obeyed orders followed the doctrine majority rule established party management single to the party and harmonious for victory in the November election.
