Washington May 12. In si weeks the Democratic House of Representatives has passed more progressive and anti-trust legis lation than the Republicans pass ed in fourteen yeais' adminis tration of that branch of Con gress, The achievement up to date includes the passage of a bill providing for the publicity of campaign contributions before instead of after election the elec tion of United States senators by direct vote of the peonle; re ciprocity with Canada and the farmers1 free list bill, with other similar legislation to follow promptly. Agitation for much of this leg islation has been going on for years. The republicans heard the demand of the people for relief, but could not enact such leoris lature as has been passed by the Democratic House because they had for years been receiving enormous .campaign contribu- OIL TRUST TO BE DISSOLVED. tions from the tariff trusts and her oassengers and crew safely! . , , , . , . . , 1 other interests which ire op posed to progressive legislation of the character passed by the Democrats.

Lawn Mowers and anthing in the HARDWARE LINE In fact we are better prepar ed to serve you than ever. Come to see us. We are here. More than a score of resolution provides for the investigation of the steel trust- the sugar trust and the other big industrial com bines were introduced in every session of Congress while the Republicans were in power. These resolution one and all, were referred to committee that had been especially packed by Speaker Cannon with men friend ly to specially privilege with the result that all Such resolutions died in comittee. Now it is different. For the first time since the trust ques tion has been acute the House of Representatives has an anti trust majority, The result is that the big com mittees are manned by men by man who are free to go ahead and investigate and if the evi dence warrants to take the pro per step toward bringing about the prosecution of illegal com binations in existence in rps trant of trade, For the first time in a ffood many years the Capitol of the United States will soon be the srtene of honest investigations of the industrial trusts of the country. Hereto for it has been impos sible for the government to con trol .the trusts because trusts controlled the government. Now it is to be determined whether the government of the people or special privilege shall occupy the saddle. Loses Before United States Supreme Court. Washington, May 15. In one of the most dramatic days that Washington has seen in several! months the supreme court of the United States smashed the Stan dard Oil company in a decision handed down by Chief Justice White late this afternoon. There was only one dissenting opinion, by Associate Justice Harlan, who vigorously expressed his disapproval of the findings of the majority. , The' decision is drastic and gives the oil trust six' months in which to reorganize. It must dissolve as the Standard Oil company, which embraces some two hundred subsidiary branches and start again as the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. The decision is based on the Sherman anti-trust law which is sustained in every par ticular. A complete victor for Frank M. Kellog, the government trust buster, and Attorney General! 1(1' Wickersham, has been scored. Mr. Kellog was present in the court room this after noon when the decision was rendered and 1 tears stood in his eyes when i friends gathered around to offer their congratulations. Among the Standard Oil magnates pre sent were John G. Jonson and a scoie of other. It was noticed that Senator Bailey, of Texas, who was in the court room for more than three hours, left bur fied as soon as the decision was announced. Senator Lafol lette, of Wisconsin, was one of the firsi to tender congratulations to the government attorneys. That the Sherman anti-trust act is constitutional the supreme couri declared without any modi fication and the decision of today is one that gives the greatest satisfaction to the administration as it .means that scores of pro secutions can begin against oher great corporations on safe grounds. Among those against whom proceedins may be begun under the anti trust law is the United States steel corporation. It is expected that the decision will put an emphatic check of the movements towards great combinaiions among the financial interests of Wall street.
