washington, April 8.-The apparent
disposition of the courts not to apply
the Sherman law stringently Is the
cause Of disappointment to the officials
of the department Of Justice.
The officials Of that department do
not deny they are disappointed and say
frankly that the trend OF things in
recent cases has been unsatisfactory to
them.
Recent action in the cash register
case, which has been the subject OF
general comment the country over. is
one of the specific things which the
department finds not to its liking.
Another case of much importance is
the plumbers trust case. In this case,
thirty-six defendants were convicted by
the federal district court sitting at Des
Moines. The government authorities
who had been urging the prosecution
were eager to get one or more jail SEN
fences imposed. Such sentences as
have thus far been imposed have been
fines not exceeding $1,000.
Department Of justice officials natur-
ally feel that il offenders under the
Sherman law are to escape lightly for
their transgressions, it will not be long
until that law has been broken down.
Administration Promises Unfulflled.
The situation Is the more interesting
because there was great deal of talk
in administration circles soon after the
present administration came into power
to the effect that guilt Is personal"
The idea was held out that II it were
possible trust law offenders were to be
put behind prison bars. Talk OF this
kind was heard 4 great deal in congress
while trust law legislation was under
consideration. Before the democratic
party obtained control of the govern
ment, it was no uncommon thing for
democrats on the floor in criticising
the trust policy of the party then in
power to talk about what an excellent
thing It would be to put some MALE
factors Of great wealth behind prison
bars.
The facts, ~ they now appear, are
that this administration has got the
trust offenders no nearer to prison bars
than preceding administrations. In fact.
the trust offenders have got of more
lightly in this administration than in
the Taft administration. In that adj
s,inistration.s.aA issWell.knoNnrs At
torney Genefa1 Wicke11ham worked
hard to secure prison sentences and 1t
was under him the first prison SEN
fences in a trust law case were secured.

trust" case.

Biggest Wage. Paid in Vermont.

Barre, q little town in Vermont.
where the finest quality of granite lis
quaried, has the highest average wage
scale Of any city in the world, accord
ing to Thomas H. Browne, Of Rutland,
democratic national committeeman for
that state, who is at the Raleigh. Mr..
Browne also Is authority for the state
ment that the employers Of Barre get
a larger measure Of value for the
wages paid their employees than those
Of any other community.
There is' no other community in the
world, I believe, where the average
wages paid reaches, approximately,
$3.50 day." said Mr.. Browne. That's
about the average of all the workmen
in Barre. most Of whom. of course, are
stonecutters. If one wants to have
his lawn moved or the snow shoveled
from his sidewalk he has to pay at
the rate Of $3.50 a day, or he does no
get the work done. That is because
any one who is capable can get work
in the quarrfes.
THE owners of quarries have es-
tablished system Of payment for men
who, thru age. have become less effic-
dent than others, that perhaps might
well be adopted by the executive de-
partments Of the federal government.
This provides for these older employees
being put on piece work, and thereby
given chance to earn what they are
worth. Instead of summarily dismiss
ing them, as understand sometimes is
done with aged employees Of the federal
government, the employers give these
men the privilege Of remaining at work
but they are given piece work instead
Of regular wage. Just now there is
a strike on at Barre. The men have
been out four weeks. but it is unlikely

ATTENTION!

VOTERS, ATTENTION! - The
Day Book of March Is (why I'M
Iucky?) has, I claim, some wonderful
food for thought. Why should de-
paTtment stores get a jolt when they
pay such high wages to big, strong
girls working 40 feet below daylight?
Why, A. F. of L., should the labor
situation in the building trades in
Chicago be so rotten as to demand an
investigation by the national officers?
Let the big bosses have their way
with the farce agreement! Fine bunk!
Get busy, Everett True!
Mattresses Case-see the evidence
on the side of capital allowed to stand
and the evidence on the side Of labor
turned down. Why not a case of per-
jury on some of the witnesses that
testified in former cases that they
were intimidated by pickets in many
way?
Now the tool, ''DUcky'' Taylor, for
the restaurants, admits in court that
the picketing had been peaceful.

BEER DRINKING. We can lead
a horse to the water but we can't
make him drink if he doesn't want to.
So it is with the drink question,
which lot of fanatics, calling them
selves Prohibitionists, are trying to
eliminate.
So long as any person desires a
glass of beer, and in the drinking
thereof Injuries nobody, why should
he be denied the privilege Of a glass
or so?
Because one man in 500 becomes
a dTUnkard that is no logical reason
that the rest of the moderate drink
ers should be treated like ''iTresponsi-
bles"
"The "drys" are as illogical as the.
one who desired the abolition of gas
because of the great number of sui
cides through that medium.
Leading political economists have
told us that the workers wages are
based or regulated b ythe cost Of sub
sistence, i. E., on what it costs to keep
them.
If this is true then the worker
who recognizes his glass of beer as a
necessity-will be able to live on less
than he did when he had his few

Crandan Pulls His Snake Ball on

Ford's hoaters and similarly famous slow balls will be forgotten, overshadowed to ob- scurity, if Otis Crandall, the St. Louis Feds portly right handler, once masters control of snake ball. to perfect the delivery of which he has been laboring for the last eight years. says a St. Louis friend of CrandalPs.
 This year, for the first time, the emil nent Doc is using this baff1ing ball to a considerable extent and with marked success, for he prefers, as yet, to use it principally when he has the batter in a hole''-with two strikes and not more than many balls.
 Waves Through Air.
 The snake ball has been so named by catchers who have received it for the sinuous route it takes after it has travelled some eighteen yards through the air It does not 'break'' widely. do most slow curves. On the contrary, it appears to wave or rock in and out, rarely deviating more than six or eight inches from the straight path it starts in to take to the catcher The ball it. self does not appear to twirl in the last after it begins to wave" Fellow mem bers of the St. Louis club who have stood up and whiffed at the peculiar ball in batting practice say Crandalis pet fooler looks as big as balloon, but feels as fine as a French pea.

 The great Cub pitching quartet of 1908 has been scattered. Pfeister is in the minors, Overall has quite baseball, Rueloach is with the Newark Feds. and Miner Brown is out of baseball. Only two of the thirty-hve men who figured in the 1903 oston-Pittsburgh world series are still in major league baseball. Both played with the Pirates. One is Wagner, the other is Tommy Leach.
 Only six of the more than forty men who were eligible for duty in the 1905 Giants-Athletics world series are still in big league baseball. Mathewson is still with the Giants, Roger Bresnahan l is managing the Cubs and doing the bulk of the catching, Leon Anes is pitching for the Cincinnati Reds. Those | three men wore Giant uniforms in 1905. Danny Murphy, Eddie Plank and Chief Bender are the only members of the 1905 Athletics who are now in the big leagues, and all three are with the Feds.

ERANK CHANGE used to say that
 confidence is half the battle in baseball. It certainly means a lot to a team to feel that it is going to win and to go into a game with the idea that it cannot be stopped. Oftentimes a weak team that happens to get on to a winning streak is much harder to stop than a stronger team which is in a slump and has lost confidence in it. self.
 This was never better illustrated than in the worlds series last fall, when the Boston Braves, contrary to all the dope, went in and established a record by winning the series in four straight games. The Braves had had such a wonderful success in the National league going. from last place to first in

Pennant Winning Teams,
 Fresh Tn Memory. Are Gone

WHAT great changes can come in a
 few years in the makeup of pen nant winning ball teams?
 Chris Mathewson is the only survivor of the 1905 Giant machine that battled with the Athletics in therworld series of that year. Wi1dfre Frank Schulte is the Lost Mohican' of the 1907 Cub machine.
 But one can move a few years nearer and find that the wreck1ng Of more modern baseball machines has been al- most as complete.
 Heine Zimmerman, Schulte and Jim my Archer are all that is left of the d910 pennant winning clubs. Stuffy iMdcInnis, Amos Strunk, Ira, Thomas and Jack Lapp are the only four men still ion the Athletics roster who helped to win the 1910 world series for the Ath- 1etics.
 Just five men of the twenty odd play CTS who battled under the Tiger stan dard in the 1909 world series are still on the Detroit payroll Those men are: Ty Cobb. Sam Crawford. Oscar Stan age, George Moriarty and Ownie Bush.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Ti- gers in that series and only three mem bers of the 1909 Pirates are still in the employ, of. Barney pEeyfuss. They. are Honlse WIa1gner.k Babe Adams and Catcher Gibson.
 Great changes have come in the makeup of the Boston Red Sox team in the past three years. When the Red Sox defeated the Giants in that nemor- able eight game 1912 world series the baseball public figured that the Red Sox machine was one that would be kept intact for many years to come.
 But it hasn't been Practically half of the 1912 Red Sox have since been Sold, traded Or released. Jake Stah1, who managed the team, was fired" the next season. Heir Yerkes. who cover ed himself with glory around second base, is now with the Feds. Neal Ball and Clyde Engle. utility mere, were let out. Pitchers Hall and O'Brien were released, as was Pitcher Hugh Bedient, who now is in the Federal league. Catcher Nunamaker was sold to the Yankees.
 Nine of the Giants who played in that 1912 series have passed along. Some are in the minors, some are with the Feds and others have been sold or traded.
 Only one man who battled for the Cufas in the 1908 world series is still battling under the Cub standard-and that man is Schultz. the last cog of the 1907 machine. Chance is gone; Evers is with the Braves: Tinker is with the Chicago Feds. Steinfeldt, the brilliant third saclxer, is dead. Artte Holman is with the Cubs no moreI Jimmy Sheck- ard hasn't been heard from since he
