HIGH RECORD IN
 "TRUST-BUSTING''

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.- A high record in trust busting" has been established in the closing days of Pres ident Taft's administration. Attorney General Wickersham and James A. Fowler, his assistant, the trust bust CT" of the Department of Justice, filed four civil antitrust suits during the last week and two similar suits in the preceding week, making new rec ord of a suit day for six days eX- elusive of Sunday.
 In addition, the Government has been victorious in several notable sherman law prosecutions recently. The rowing Trust" on the Great Lakes was ordered dissolved, verdicts of guilty were turned against the Cash Register and Bathtub Trusts, and Jas. A. Patten pleaded guilty to one count of the cotton corner" indictment.
 There is no indication that the anti trust activity of the expiring admin istration has ceased, and in all prob ability more suits will be filed before March 4. A distinct effort is being made to bring to conclusion the pend ing investigation of the Standard oil to determine whether the decree of dissolution has been violated.
 Attorney-General Wickersham so far has filed eighty-one civil and criminal antitrust suits during his four years of service, exceeding by nineteen the total number of prosecutions insti' tuted by all of his predecessors since the Sherman law was enacted in 1892 Seven antitrust proceedings were be- gun in President Harrison's admins tration, eight in Cleveland's, three in McKinley's and forty-four in Roose' velt's.
 Under the immediate direction of Attorney-General Wickersham, Mir Fowler has instituted in less than two years fifty-eight of the eighty-one an thrust proceedings begun during the | Taft administration.

NEW LAW WORKS HARDSHIP.

Special to Independent.
 L tile Rock, June 3.-The act of the recent legislature which created the State Board of Penitentlary Com missioners. is proving a rather hard nut for those interested in 1t to crack. In the first place the act places the responsibility for paroles at the Reform School on the governor, It waz formerly in the hands of the Pen itenuary Poard, and the governor feels as enough he has work enough to perform without it.
 Ire worst feature about the legis- lative act IS that it makes it unlawful for the commissioners or their agents to make purchases without first ad- vertlsing ten days for bids upon them. At the Reform School tomato plants has been done. The potato plants are needed now, but they cannot be purchased until ten days advertising has been. done. The potato plants at the school are being destroyed by bugs and paris green is needed to spray them, but none can be purchased. The Board is finding the same condi- tion at the state farm, and in many instances the convicts have been in want because no provision was made for the purchase of supplies in case of an emergency.
 This act makes it rather hard for the commissioners to make their monthly purchases, and the only way they can anticipate is to purchase a sufficient quantity of everything and of everything imaginable that could be used in an emergency, in order to be prepared when the emergency comes. .''l,

Suicide and Insanity.

New York is shocked over the facC that 433 cases ot suicide have occurred ia that city in the last seven months. The rate of the increase ia said to be greater than ever before.
 The increase i> not confined to New York. but i> general throughout the whole country.
 At the same time the census bureau reports q great increase in the number of insane. There are more than twice as many hospitals for the insane as there were fifteen years ago, and most of them are full.
 Suicide and insanity are so closely related that increase in the one is naturall accompanied by increase in the other.
 Perhaps insanity in greater or lesser degree is more common than most of Us suspect. Emi- nent aIienists say that none of us are wholly sane.
 Many of the worlds wisest nen are known to have q tinge Of melancholy in theirblood. and to have been subject at times to periods Of great depression.
 Napoleon at the beginning of his career was in great financial distress, and was prevented from drowning himself only by the timely pecuniary aid of a >chooLnate.
 Bismarck is said to have de- clared after the battle Of Sa- dowa that he would have killed himself had the Prussians been beaten.
 Byron, while writing "Childe Harold" said he would have blown out his brains but for the reflection that it would have given pleasure to his m0ther-in- law.
 One need not be an alienist, to be able to see, from these trivial causes, and the countless other almost equally trivial ones which have caused the epidemic of sui eide, that insanity in some form enters into it.
 No sound mind could dwell up- on such trifies.
 No mind properly balanced could approach self-destruction.
 What is the matter with our American life that it thus un- settles brains with increasing regularity?
 It even affects those who come into it from the outside more severely than our own, for insanity is found to be more pre- valent among foreign-born than 'native-born.
 Men are going crazy at more rapid rate than women; and laborers and servants more surely than those of higher oc- equations. - Memphis News Scimitar.
