The popular revolt of Americans
against the trade combinations which
have been formed to fleece them has so
far been only matter of prophecy. We
have so far had the Standard Oil trust,
the jute bagging trust, the sugar trust,
the white lead trust, the castor oil trust,
and a hundred other organizations
formed to protect and preserve the prof
its of trade. There has hardly been a

1t is an old saying but none the less
true for that, that an ounce of preventive
is worth pound of cure, and although
criminally tardy in applying it, yet Chi
cago has taken an advance step in that
direction, in the matter ofApurifying her
social atmosphere and diminishing her
criminal record, by suppressing criminal
and vicious literature among the young.
1t is generally accepted fact that liter
allure of the Days Doings and Police
Gazette variety is the most effective
recruiting agency to the criminal records
in existence. He was wise priest who
remarked, "Give me the training Of the
young until they are twelve years old
and | will make the world Catholic in a
decade" The same may be said of other
educational agenci s. Nine out often OF
the criminals of the land become such
in fact before they pass their twelfth
year. Success to Chicago's effort.

river points, for the purpose of devising
some scheme by which the railroads
may be forced to change their rate bas-

the agitation of the subject stated in
Kansas City, Mo-, but Atchison took
hold of the matter and secured the hold

although Kansas City started the agita-
