UNDER THE ANTITRUST LAW.

Attorney General Grow Sues the Kars
sas City Typothetae.
Kansas City, Dec. Ga suit was
fled in the Circuit court to-day on
information of e. G. Grow, attorney
general, charging that the Kansas
City Typothetae is a trust, and as
such ought to be dissolved and it's
members fined and the franchises OF
the corporations that compose it re-
voked.
The Kansas City Typothetae is
composed OF sixteen OF the leading
Job printing firms OF this city. The
petition fled in court to-day alleges
that the firms in the Typothetae
shave unlawfully, illegally and will
fully misused and abused their fran
chises, rights and privileges as cor
porations. organized to exist and do
business under and according to the
laws of the state of Missouri, and are
carrying on their business in gross
violation of the laws OF the state, be-
cause they have created and become
members of an organization known
as the Kansas City Typhthetae,
which is a pool, trust, agreement,
combination, confederation and un-
derstanding among themselves and
with each other to regulate, fix and
control the prices to be paid for the
product of the business OF book and
job printing and to prevent full and
free competition in that business"
The state law against trusts and
pools provides that each member OF
it shall pay to the school fund OF the
county, as penalty, 800 for each
day the trust or pool was in opera
ton. The petition asks that this
law be enforced against each member
of the Typothetae.

them last fall they are certainly entitled
to credence now. Gentle reader. what do
YOU think of it?
But it is not necessary for the public to
confine itself entirely to the testimony
of the Anaconda Standard. the Butte
Miner and the Helena Independent, in
order to make out a case against the
Sixth legislative assembly. While those
three political organs have done valuable
work at the public confessional-work
that will relieve the democratic party
from any further responsibility as to
state affairs after the election of 1900
the legislature has furnished plenty of
evidence of inherent i~ncompetency. if not
of rank corruption and dishonesty, in acts
that have met the cordial endorsement
of it's democratic constituents.
In passing a gambling bill that reduces
the penalty of that crime from a felony
to a misd ameanor, in order to permit gam
bling establishments to continue business
under a system of monthly fines, the
legislature has doused the fair e~scutcheon
of this state with political swill. When
the bill to license gambling was hooted
out of court by an indignant public, the
knights of the green cloth renewed their
| attack on public morals with the measure
| that finally passed. Under the operations
of such a law a wide-open policy will be
| pursued by the gamblers protected by oc-
casional assessments, denominated as
fines. The gamblers and the leading
| democratic newspapers are in high glee
over the passage of that bill.
Another assault upon the civilization
| of the day is the law legalizing prize
| fights. to which reference is made else
| where on this page. These w measures
| alone are enough to consign the Sixth
legislative assembly to the contempt OF
decent men, to say nothing of the other
crimes laid at it's door by the eminent
democratic authorities we have cited.

The Talk OF the Day.

A Kansas soldier in the Philippines,
writing home some time ago, spoke thus
of A~guinaldo's cabinet: Many of them
are ignorant and greatly in need of edu-
catlonal ability; most of them are honest,
some are rascals of the worst type and
all need to learn something of the art and
science of war. If they are ever engag-
ed in a deadly conflict they will be found
wanting in the commonest class of mill
tary movements and will ave their fol-
lowers slaughtered like sheep in a
butcher pen. All they know about war
is what they have learned in resisting the
Spanish, and that was nothing more than
a guerilla warfare of the poorest sort.
To come out and meet a foe on an opep
battlefield would be a new experience fer
them. and they are not inclined to face
that kind of music"

PRIZE FIGHTING.

Montana's great moral reform demo-
cratic legislative assembly has passed. a
bill that practically legaliZes prize fight
ing in this state. Ostensibly a measure
TO regulate glove contests, in effect" it
opens the door to the most brutal OF the
alleged sports of these degenerate days.
Hereafter the sluggers of national and1n-
ternational fame, with their %retinue. of
~n1ug-1glies, will favor the buns and blis-
ters of Montana with their delectable
society from time to time.
The democratic party of this state
through it's accredited representatives in
the legislative assembly, has turned back
the wheels of human progress to the Dor
der line of common decency. The edu-
Gated and enlightened public sentiment
| that condemns the social evil, that froWns
| upon the vice of gambling, that models
human life with high ideals for aspiration
and effort, sets the a of it's disapproVai
upon the brutal encounters of the prize
ring.
To make it possible for prize fights to

influences of legalized sluggery to the

makers, brings the blush of shame TO Inc
