TRUST FIGHTING U

Not long ago The Gazette called at
syndicate had been organized for the
purpose of competing with one of the
richest and most powerful trusts in
the Countryside American Smelling
and Refining company-and took occa-
sion to cite the instance as pointing a
way Ill which the trust question might
eventually solve itself. Again is this
newspaper called upon to call atten-
tion to another case of the same kind
with this difference, one trust is pre-
pairing to fight another corporation
organized for the purpose of monopo-
lining a particular commodity.
From New York comes the info1ma-
ton that the Standard Oil company
and the Glucose Sugar Refining COM
pany are about to engage in a battle
of leviathans. The former is behind
9 So, 600, 900 glucose refining plant
which is being erected at Shady Side,
a manufacturing town in New Jersey.
The avoWed purpose Of the new insti-
tuition is to kill the glucose trust,
otherwise known, officially, by the
name mentioned before. As almost
the entire output of the old concern is
consumed or disposed of east Of Chi
cago the new corporation is figuring
on the advantage it will have by con-
STRUGGLING its plant in the east, those of
the trust being all in Illinois and
Iowa. At the start the new works
will require about 30, 0OO. bushels OF
corn daily to supply the capacity of
its factory. The trust plants have a
capacity of about 100, 900, five times
as much, but as the new concern is
building with a view to extending, it's
output car be readily and materially
Increased in a few months.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the success of the trusts is begin

Every good man and woman that
reads the story Of the trial of unfortu-
nate and wronged Marion Rogan will
cordially endorse the action Of the
venerable Judge Bond and commend
him for the mercy he showed the
woman whom a villain had robbed of
something precious than life
itself. The sentiment uttered by the
judge when he characterized the be-
trayer Of the woman as vile and not
entitled to sympathy is a credit to
him and all that share it with him.
DR.. Taylor, the fashionable libertine
and despoiler of womanhood, with his
eyes burned out by one of the many
victims of his lust and unblushing
lechery, will walk through life as a
warning to others of his kind; and
who knows but what the sight and
knowledge of him may save many
another woman from sharing the fate
of Marion Rogan. Blinded as he is
for life, Taylor is not an object for
pity. He deserved the punishment he
received. If pity shall go out to any
n connected with the unfortunate
case, let it go to her who has been
shamed and dishonorel beyond re-
demption.
