faced bankruptcy. Hard times pre-
vailed. Business lived from hand to

ment and reconstruction. Such, in
broad way, were the conditions pre-
vailing when this administration took
control of the country and the present
Republican Congress was called into
special session.
Today we have a President whose
wise, business-like, constructive poll

safe to say no staff could have been
selected who were better qualified by
their legal attainments and by their
particular experience and knowledge
OF the war graft situation.
Never in the history of the Depart
ment Of Justice have the antitrust
laws been so vigorously prosecuted as
during the last Is months. For the
first time jail sentences were imposed
as punishment for violation Of the
Sherman Antitrust Act in the case
of United States VS.. Alexander Reed,
ct al. The department at this time
has under investigation more than SO
cases of alleged violations OF the An.
THRUST Act and has pending in the
courts rs such cases. Since March
4, 1921. the Attorney Generals Of
fee has won 100 cases In the United
States Supreme Court and lost IL. In
that time it has tried 166 suits in
the various United States Courts and
won 110. The department has been
ernment in the United States Court
of Claims where litigation has greatly
increased as a result of war con-
tracts and tax cases. Twenty suits
were decided in this court on June
~, in which the Attorney Generals
department appeared for the govern
ment. In these 20 cases the govern
ment sued for the aggregate of $16,-
619.693. The total of the amounts
allowed was only s533,365.
This, in brief, is an outline of some of
the more important activities of the
Department of Justice since March 4,
1921. An enormous amount of work
has been performed and every branch
of the judicial service is character
ICED by energy, intelligence and dis
patch. The record of the department
under the present administration not
only reflects great credit upon Attor-
ney General Daugherty and President
Harding, but 1t inspires confidence

A Famous American Church.

One of the most famous churches in
America is old Christ Church in the in
teresting little city of Alexandria, Va,
located eight miles down the Potomac
river from the city Of Washington. This
place of worship is popularity known as
"George Washington's Church" 1t was
here that the Washington family came
from Mt. Vernon in their carriage each
Sunday morning to worship. Fairfax
Parish, to which Alexandria belongs, was
created in 1865, ten years before the sign
ing of that blessed old document, known
to world wide fame as the Declaration of
Independence At the age of 80 Wash
ington became vestryman. Christ
Church was finally completed on February
81, 1773. 1t completion was notable
event of that period. Washington cele-
brated the event by subscribing 80 poun is
and 10 shillngs for pew. 1t was the
highest price paid by any member of the
church. The great man also generously
agreed to pay an annual pew rental of five
pound sterling 1t should be remembered
that at that time Wa shington had not be-
come known to fame as a great general or
President of the United States. His pro-
minence at that time was due to the fact
that he had served with General Brad
dock, married the rich and beautiful WI
dow Custis, and was successful farmer.
Fortunately, the ruthless hands OF
''modernizers" have never been permitted
to despoil the pew occupied ny the WASH
ingtons. 1t remains today exactly as 1t
was in the days of old 1t is numbered SO
and 60, and is situated on the left side
near the front. 1t Is marked by a silver
plate with fac simile Of his autograph.
The pew has two seats facing each other,
and a third cross seat against the wall.
The pew is now reserved for strangers
In 1916 all of the pews except Washing
toms were modernized as they appear at
the present time. Some years later the
church interior was considerably altered,
but wise old heads subsequently had their
way and it was restored to It's coionlal
simplicity. The canopy and the wlne-glass
ulnit are strictly colonial The church
rail and the mural tablets of the Lords
PRAYER and the Apostles Creed have not
been changed since the days of Washing
ton. This is also true of the communion
table. reading desk, chairs, and solid brass
chandelier with it's twelve candlesticks.
In Washington's time, of course, the
structure was lighted by candles, and on
the pillars may still be observed. beneath
the paint, the marks of the sconces and
finder box. The baptismal font dates
from the year l8l8-l04 years ago.
There are some exceedingly quaint and
interesting records and objects in the
vestry room of this church. One can
there see the record of Washington's pur-
chase of his pew IN l77S, and the first
Bible and church service. The Bible
bears an Edinburgh imprint OF 1767
Rare, indeed, are the long handled purses
used in Washington's time for taking up
the collection.
For the convenience of visitors, who
come from every section of the world. the
church is kept open every week day from
nine in the morning until six in the even
ing. A courteous attendant explains the
interesting details.
The Republican journal., 1922-09-07

The activities and accomplishments
of the Department of Justice during
the past Is months comprise the most
successful record that department has
made since it's establishment. The
largest amount of business in the his
tory of that department has been
transacted for the current year on
less money than was appropriated for
the preceding year.
Averitable avalanche of business was
clogging the dockets in nearly every
United States District Court and new
cases being entered in unprecedented
numbers when Attorney General
Daugherty took charge of the Depart
ment of Justice March 4, 1921. He
found the department disorganized.
1t was necessary to make survey not
only of his own force but Of the vari-
GUS cases pending in the several Unit
ed States Courts throughout the coun-
try. This gigantic task was acom-
plished with thoroughness and dis
patch.
Early in his incumbency Attorney
General Daugherty began an investlga-
ton of the so-called War Fraud cases.
After he had thoroughly surveyed the
sttuation and he and his staff were
ready to proceed he asked for an ap-
preparation of half a million dollars to
enable him to employ additional and
competent special attorneys to con-
duct the actual work of grand jury In
vestigation and prosecution. The men
whom he selected for this task are
skilled lawyers: Former Senator
Charles S. Thomas, OF Colorado,
Democrat who was conspicuous in the
Senate investigation of the aircraft
scandal: former Congressman c. r.
Reavis, of Nebraska, who was men,
her of the House Committe which In
yestigated the expenditures OF the
War Department; former Congress
man r. d. MacCullough, Of Ohio, also
a member of that Committee, and Mr..
Meier Steinbrink, of New York, who
assisted Charles e. Hughes in the
famous aircraft inquiry OF 1918, and
who was also employed as Special
Counsel for the House Committee on
investigating war expenditures. 1t Is
