A REAL FIGHTER

Virginia Brooks is fighting a
desperate lot of scoundrels when
she goes after the inhuman male
brutes who make their living off
the shame of women, but she is
fighting bravely, and in manner
to make some of Chicago high
brow reformers look like lot of
mollycoddles.
Miss Brooks is not fighting
with tracts and lectures. She is
fighting with an axe; and she is
laying that axe at the root of the
evil
Miss Brooks isn't mayor. She
holds no office. She hasn't been
elected to anything as a repre-
sentative Of the people. She just
elected herself to do a great work
for humanity, and she is clothed
with no power except her own
brains, her genius, her determin-
alton, and her noble impulses.
i She is doing in West Ham
mond what can be done in Chi

in Chicago. A real mayor could

ANTITRUST LAW
AMENDMENT To
Be HELD BACK
Certainty of Democratic Con-
troll of Congress Acts as
Check Upon Plans.

The certainty that the Democrats Will
control both branches of the national
legislature in the SiXty-third Congress
has acted as check upon plans for
the immediate revision OF the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t is now conceded that
no specific attempt will be made to re-
wise that statute during the short ses-
sion, and the Democratic attitude is
that the trust problem should await the
time when that party exercises COM
plete control OF the legislative and ex-
eCutive branches of the Government.
There are a dozen bills proposing to
amend the Sherman law now, before
the House Committee on Judiciary,
whose chairman il Congressman Henry
ID. Clayton, of Alabama. Mr.. Clayton
and his committee associates are in
clined toward a policy of strengthening
the law, but It is reliably learned that
no such attempt will be made while the
Senate and the President are or oppo-
site political faith.
Clayton May Join Cabinet.
It is not assured. however. that Chair
man Clayton will exercise merely a
legislative function as regards amend
ments to the sherman law. His name Is
mentioned by the slatemaloers as an
available man for the Attorney General
shin under the Wilson Administration.
His long service on the House Judiciary
Committee and his legal attainments
put him in the running for Cabinet
portfolio, and there IL the added reason
that he Is representative of the Under
wood strength.
The Alabama delegation, headed by
Congressman Clayton was the first to
indorse the candidacy OF Mr.. Under
wood for the Presidential nomination.
Underwood failed to Land the nomina-
tion, but his faction" so called, un-
doubtedlv will receive recognition from
President-eleCt Wilson when the latter
begins to formulate his Cabinet.
It IL generally believed that Mr.. Tn
derwoOd the majority floor leader. does
not want n Cabinet place himself. II is
natural to believe that Underwood pre-
fcrs to remain at the head of the Ways
and Means Committee. and to become
the author of the Democratic tariff
bill This shoves the availability of
Congressman clayton to the front. and
his selection undoubtedly would please
the Underwooditcs.
Is Impeachment Manager.
Regardless of the chances of antitrust
legislation during the short session, the
chairman of the Judiciary Committee
will be much in the spotlight. lie is
the chief manager on the part of the
House in the impeachment proceedings
against Judge Robert w Archibald, of
the Commerce Court, which will be
heard by the senate in December. Clay
ton also enjoys the unusual distinction
OF having been one of the managers IN
the Swaync impeachment case, and Is
the only member of the House who has
ofhciat"d in two important cases OF
this character.
