Attorney General Rogers of New Orleans
appears to be disposed to do something more
than 60 through the motions of prosecuting
the leaders of the mob that lynched the Ital-
ians in that city. He is determined that all
the evidence obtainable snail be presented TO
the grand jury, and that an indictment shall
be found, no matter what the chances of con-
viction may be. The newspapers are very
much opposed to the Attorney Generals
course. and so apparently is public opinion,
yet he shows no signs of changing his
intentions.

A new problem in social economy has
been coming to the front during the last
ten years, and now stands boldly and
defantly in the foreground under the
legend, "What are you going to do
about it,"
The unprecedented accumulation of
money by certain trusts and corpora
tions converts them into bullies and
braggadocios. They nislead pHblic opin-
ion through the columns of newspapers
subsidized in their interest; they have
powerful lobbies in the legislature, and
by means of deals and Doodle either pass
laws for their own benefit or prevent
the passage Of laws which may cripple
their diyiionds. The community is
powerless, and, except in periods Of al
most Evolutionary excitement, is help
lessly swindled and victimized. New
