show that the morale OF the inhabitants
of Belgium's capital is far from being
crushed after nearly two years of enemy
occupation.

year believed that they had taken every
precaution to prevent any manifesto

day of July 81 must not he celebrated

DENVER ABANDONS
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
AFTER 3 YEARS TRIAL

Denver, Colo,. June 3.-Denver has
just overthrown the commission form
of government after three years
trial. The city today is under the
former mayoralty scheme.
/ The change was made at a special
election held last month, Robert w
Speer being elected mayor on char
ter amendment which was the anti
thesis of commission government. In
stead of five commissioners, Mayor
Speer is the government.
While the legislative power under
the new charter is vested in coun-
cilmanic board Of nine members
Speer appointed four of them.
The other five were chosen in 6
manner novel for city of Denver's
size. The Denver Civic and Com
mercial association, the Trades AS
sembly, the Real Estate Exchange
the Rotary club and the Manufac
turers' club each elected a council
man.
This plan was followed to save thu
people the cost of an election. Flu
ture boards will be elected by popu
lar vote.
The new charter created an indus

ness men appeared and gave test

ness men appeared and gave test
mony. BY
The outcome of this exhaustive
hearing was embodied in the legisla
ton which created the Federal Trade
commission. The Federal Trade COM
mission was not named until after the
European war had centered universal
attention across the water, but the
Federal Trade commission is destined
to play a star part in the forthcom-
ing events after the close of the war.
It is investigating the oil and sugar
trust right now, and the man who
more than any other who set the ma
chinery in motion is Senator Clapp.
No amount of money that the
trusts and combinations use can be-
cloud the issue. The people of Min
nesota will stand by Senator Clapp
as he has stood by the people.

the declaration of 100 per cent divi-
dends.
How many people in these United
States know the recorded history of
the paper case, the Standard Oil case,
the tobacco trust case, the meat and
packing house cases? Do they know
why the Federal Trade commission,
and the Department of Justice, and
special committees in congress are
in action right now to uncover the
actual conditions pertaining to these
existing trusts and monopolies ?
Do they know that within three
months from the date of the supreme
court decision on the Standard Oil
and the tobacco cases, that it became
apparent to many deeply read men OF
the legal fraternity, that while the
decision actually dissolved the trusts,
it's effective results would come far
from applying the real remedy?
This conviction took such deep
root that early in the summer OF
1911, Senator Moses E. Clapp OF
Minnesota, chairman of the great
committee on interstate commerce in
the senate, introduced and put
through the following resolution:
(In the Senate Of the United
States, July 26, 1919
Resolved, That the committee on
interstate commerce is hereby auth
orized and directed, by subcommittee
or otherwise, to inquire into and re-
port to the senate at the earliest date
practicable what changes are neces-
sary or desirable in the laws of the
United States relating to the. crea-
ton and control of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and
what changes are necessary or deslr-
able in the laws of the United States
relating to persons or firms engaged
in interstate commerce, and for this
purpose they are authorized to sit
during the sessions or recesses of
congress, at such times and places
as they may deem desirable or prac-
ticable; to send for persons and pa
pers to administer oaths, to summon
and compel the attendance of wit
nesses, to conduct hearings and have
and to employ such clerks, stenogra-
pliers and other assistants as shall
be necessary and any expense in
connection with such inquiry shall
be paid out of the contingent fund
of the senate upon vouchers to be
approved by the chairman of the
committee.
CHARLES G. BENNETT,
Secretary
This apparently simple and
straightforward resolution, cast up
on the placid surface of the Congress
sional current that hot July after
noon spread it's waves not only into
every state of the Union, but perme-
ated foreign countries as we'll.
For more than year Senator
Clapp conducted series of hearings
that probably outrank any investiga.
ton ever conducted in Washington.
Three volumes or more than three
thousand closely printed pages were
required to record the work Of the
| committee. It was not Sub-cOm
mittee, either; the hearings were at
tended by every member of the com
mittee The leading men of the
country, students of economics. col

WHAT SENATOR CLAPP
HAS ACCOMPLISHED

It is not so strange after all that
people are addicted with short mem
cries in these days of stirring events
and swift mutations. So many SEN
sational events have transpired in the
recent past that headline writer in
London recently remarked that
Nothing short of the temperance
of the Messiah or the return of King
Richard Third to the Tower of Lon
don would now be considered as a
real piece of legitimate news"
While everybody is complaining
and criticizing the high cost of liv-
ing, and demanding that something
be done in the way of relief, they
seem to have forgotten that there are
several Investigations now under
way, looking to a change of existing
conditions.
We might first refer to an inves-
tigation which affects every news
paper publisher and every other pub
Usher in the United States
The price of print paper has arisen
to the very zenith and no aeroplane
can keep pace with the ascension.
The congress of the United States
has taken cognizance of, the situa-
ton and this resolution has been
adopted. BY the way, it is another
Gore resolution"
Resolved that the Federal Trade
commission be, and is hereby, d.
rected to Investigate the recent rapid
and unprecedented advance in the
price of print paper, and to ascertain
