zation of this enormous trust, embracing and controlling the beef packing industry of the country, was to control prices add fatten the bankrolls of the stock-holders at the expense of the people. No charge against . 'the packers could be more specific than that they conspired together to increase the cost of living. And thia is the most damnable charge that has ever been made against a great corporation. It Is bad enough to have to pay big prices for luxuries but any man or group of men who would attempt to increase the price of a food necessity for the purpose of amassing millions to pile on other millions is without

The criminal prosecution of the beef packers will then be watched with great interest. It is a vital issue with the American people today. "Are the packers above the law or is the law above the packers?" is the question that will be decided by this trial.

TAKE NOTICE. The kids coming home rom school tell us that the domestic science teacher is having them use mortar trowels to mix the dough. She claims that the old hand way of kneading bread wears on the skin and necessitates double dabs of almond honey and face cream where
as only one application is necessary after the trowel method. The new idea may le a good one and before long we may see the coal shovel used as a -rooking tool but we want to warn the solicitous teacher that once the bricklayers' union hears that unholy hands are wielding trowels there'll be an awful racket about it.

TRIAL OF BEEF BARONS. ifbdern Industrial development has proven that a large amount of capital is necessary to carry on any highly developed Industry. Big capital makes big business possible. Big proudction makes possible the utilisation of by-products. Big business makes possible the organization of a sales department of the highest efficiency; a sales department which looks upon the world as its markee. Big business reduces the cost of distribution by building cars, buying railroads, in many instances, and by building steamship lines for the handling of tfie ocean freight. Vnw hefnr the formation nf thi
Natipnal Packing Company the beef I
trust--such companies as Armour, Swift, Hammond Packing Company, Cudahy and the others had grown to such size that they enjoyed all of the advantages, enumerated above, which result from the employment of large amounts of capital in manufacturing. The organization of the beef trust could not be excused on the grounds that the operating efficiency of the plants would be increased for they all maintain their seperate entities just as they did before the trust was formed. ' i The organization of the beef trust
can not be exciteed on the grounds
that it will make possible the extension of our foreign commerce in beef for that had already become an important branch of the business before the era of the National Packing Co. jThe organization of the beef trust can not be excused on the grounds that the sales departments efficiency would be Increased for each of the component parts of the trust still maintains its own sales department.
The sole reason then for the organ!-
NOTHING DOING. Some time ago the bassoons were sounded And a Kentucky congressman named Stanley started to Investigate the steel trust. He and his partly junketed around the smoke-stacks and rolled up a big expense account. Data secured was to be used as many guessed it, by the democrats in the forthcoming presidential campaign. Then, Mr. Taft does more than Ihe democrats ever thought of. He started suit to dissolve the trust and thus beat the other gentlemen to it. In the meantime the film crank will keep
on turning but there will be no .films
shown.
Making it plainer neither party
has any more thought of dissolving the steel trust than Tom Marshall has
of appointing Tom Knotts his private
secretary.
The indications are that the propor-
ton is growing; a casual glance at the daly papers indicate that.
Collier's conclusions are that mur
der is becoming Bafer in the United
States by reason of the laxity in ap
prehending murderers, delay In en
forcing the laws, acceptance of tech
nical pleas and exercise of the par
doning power. This startling state
ment Is made, and is apparently supportable by facts.
If you commit murder, it is a bet
ter than 3 to 1 shot tht you will never
be brought to trial. 4 It is a better than 80 to t shot that
you will never be sentenced to the penitentiary. It is a better thn 80 to 1 shot that you will never be hanged or electrocuted. , President Taft righthy said that the administration of criminal law In this Country is a disgrace to the civilization. One might well add that it is also becomng a menace to human lie. Peoria Herald-Transcript.
SUPPOSE of course you are getting your share of flannel cakes and
flannel blankets these days.

ELECTION TIME COMING. Next April the holding of the party primaries will be the signal for the beginning of another campaign. Lake county Will continue to be a big factor in state politics and It will have important problems of its own to solve. The coming campaign is expected
to go a long way towards establish-

of Lalve county. If the republicans
win again, as seems probable, the party will be pretty strongly Intrenched. If the democrats should make Inroads and elect a part of the ticket, as they huve done on several occasions, it would be a serious blow to the republicans.
