A WORK OF ART.


[Sioux City Journal.l
The Associated Press rose to the oc-
cas.on. The events of the week cul-
minating in the Inauguration of Wilson
and Marshall were graphically and
eloquently reported. The best of the
writing was not in the quotations. 1t
is a signal triumph to bring together
in vivid picture panorama. with its
changing views and great variety Of
detail. such as characterized the 4th
of March in Washington. Really the
Inaugural ball at a little distance is
not missed. there was so much beside
of dazzling briliancy to command at
tention. The Associated Press, sup
ported by intelligent newspa pers,
brought the appearances and pictur-
esque ceremonies under the eye OF
the people everywhere throughout the
United States. and presented eloquent
sketches TO all reading people in for
eign lands. The average citizen, fo'-
lowing the symmetrical lines of the
skilled writer's. may find the story SO
complete and the course OF 1t 50
smooth, as TO fail to note the art with
which il is assembled and presented.
The most Of the story is new to those
who lined Pennsylvania avenue, craned
their necks and were diverted by
showers and by things happening 20
their toes. The actual spectators were
treated TO a fragment. They saw a
horse champing the Bit they heard the
blare of the band and they heard
shouts of, There he goes But they
actually saw very little and heard less
of the things worth reporting. There
is where the team work of the Asso-
ciated Press took precedence. and
where the advantages accorded its
working force came into play. AS re-
suit the Associated Press was every

THE HYDE CASE AND OTHERS.
[SiouX City Tribune.l
The last DAYS of the official life OF
Taft's attorney general were spent in
filing suits under the Sherman la"
against various alleged combinations
in restraint Of trade. BY Wickersham $
friends this is accounted unto him for
righteousness in the antitrust cru :

But it is an easy matter to institute
a suit. and he is passing up to the Will

may get it into difficulty. The Taft
administration is to get credit for
starting these suits and IL they are not

is to be blamed.
