Restrictive Laws Useless.


Mr.. link declares restrictive laws
useless. Legislation of this kind will
only keep agitation alive, creating end
less trouble between capital and the
people.
Nearly all the strikers of the coun-
try are among the employees of corpor-
ations which own public necessities"
writes Mr. link, enumerating the coal,
iron, railroad, street car and like In
dustries. Public ownership, then, would
do away with strikes. 1t will stop gov
eminent by Injunction. 1t will give
necessities of these kinds to the peo-
pie at cost of production. Public own
ership of highways. including railroads
and all other transportation means, will
more effectively control all other trusts,
than any other method. 1t will do away
with rebates; With much or all official
corruption"
The postal system. the greatest, most
perfect and most economical business
organization of the country, Is cited as
the towering and final example OF the
success of government ownership and
| conduct of great business enterprises.
There are no strikes, no conflicts be-
tween capital and labor no boodling,
no Determinations no rebates" in the
postal service.
Must Control Public Necessities.
81 do not believe the Creator ever
intended one man, or Il few men. should
own the necessities of any people. any
more than one man OF a few men
should control the liberty OF the people.
The same arguments put forth to sup
port private ownership of these neces-
stiles was and is advanced to support
Kings and monarchs in controlling the
liberties of the people. If the people
are capable of government. they
are capable of owning and controlling
their own necessities.
Mir. link says tho trusts are here to
stay. They are based on economic law
The absurd saying that competition
is the life of trade is an exploded max
i'm The fact that people are asking
how to control trusts, instead of how
to cXterminate them, is a recognition of
this.
There are but two ways to adjust
this matter, by education or by revolu-
ton. 1t will be for the people to decide
which of the TWO ways they will en-
ploy. but education is the only rational

ing to Control Market-Makes
Confiscation Liable.

Chicago, May S.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Bethea arrived here
yesterday morning in advance of the
bill that is to be filed to obtain an
injunction against the alleged beef
trust. Mr.. Bethea left Washington
after being informed by the attorney
general that the bill drawn in Chi
cago would be filed as formulated
with the exception of a few minor
changes. The bill will contain allie
cations that the six big packing
houses! in this city, together with
their branch houses throughout the
country, have. combined, unlawfully
for the purpose Of raising the prices.
regulating the purchase of cattle and
otherwise manipulating the markets.
and aided by transportation com
panies have produced a set of cir,
cumstances that enable the, packers
to squeeze the market at will. Since
the agitation began new evidence has
poured in from all parts of the coun-
try, and the federal attorneys are
confident they will make out a case Of
uAA""Aui SoIuoloA ny Tue packers.
A feature of the bill is that it may
be construed so as to effect the cor
fiscation OF all meats and stock
shipped by the trust under the alleged
illegal arrangement Millions of dol
lars worth of packing house products
are made liable to confscation 1t g
expected that in anticipation of the
possibility OF such result the pack

NO CONCESSIONS TO Beers.
Lord Salisbury Made Speech Less
Pessimistic Than When Last
Heard.

London, May 8.-Lord Salisbury. as
president of the annual grand habita-
ton CT the Primrose league. at Al
bert hall, yesterday, spoke in a much
less pessimistic vein than when be
was last heard in public His speech
in substance was in part:
He congratulated the league on the
staunch support given to conserva-
tive governmt nts, enc result Of which
was that Great Britain is now SUI
prcme in Egypt, while with regard to.
Ireland the country need no longer
fear the insane, suicidal projects Of
imperial disruption supported by
many Of the opposition statesmen
At the same time, he sai3. the coun-
try must not expect the ashes If
past conflicts" to be extinguished in
mediately.
Turning to the peace negotiations
Lord Salisbury announced that Gree
Britain has not receded che i'm /
from her former position. As 70
rights we claimed and the policy we
intended to pursue we are exactly
whore we were"
When the conflict was over all pos
sible was done to mold the present
opponents SO they could take up their
position in the empire which had con
ferred so many blessings on the hui
man race. But it must be thoroughly
understood that the whole govern
ment Of the country was to be of
such character that it would be I'M
possible the struggle could be re-
newed. 1t was important that this
should be made clear, for some PEG
pie thought the empire might become
tired. He did not wish to convey the
idea that there was any feeling OF
bitterness toward the Beers, for there
was nothing the government more
earnestly desires than that they
should enjoy all the privileges con.
ferred on their brother nations by
the colonial system.

How Armour Selected a Wife.

r. d. Armour. the Chicago packer,
who recently died, advised young
man, In selecting wife, to find an
ideal mother and then marry any Of her
daughters. To such a degree did he
practice this faith In heredity and
home training that Mr.. Armour chose
the girl whom he made his wife by first
seeking the acquaintance of mother
who came up to his ideals. Having
found the mother. he was satisfied In
advance that ANY one of the daughters
would do" He told the story himself
one day as he was cOngratulating one
of his favorite employees on his ap-
preaching wedding:
you've got good girl and l know
it. though never saw her. know her
parents, and they're fine. She's sure
10 be all right, for she has good moth
er. That's the way l picked out my
wife. looked around long time for
n good mother with daughters, and
found her down in Cincinnati. l went
down there and picked out the young
est and prettiest of the girls. Then 1
went TO her mother and told her that
l meant to marry her daughter. My
frankness to her mother rather scared
the girl at first. and she seemed quite
afraid of me. But when she found that
l wasn't such a bad fellow she said
yes and we We're married. And you
may be sure we have been happy. She
couldn't help but be a good wife and
mother, for her own mother was BOTH"

CHlCAGO'S TAX SCANDAL.
Startling Exposures in Connection
with the Masonic Temple Case.


with the Masonic Temple Case.
The farmer is supposed to be an easy
victim for swindlers. City men are wont
to laugh At the apparent ease with which
gold-brick men. paddock experts, and
three-card monte manipulators swindle
their country cousins. But occasionally
things transpire which tend to the conclu-
sion that the city man is no brighter than
the farmer. The exposures in connection
with the Chicago Masonic Temple tax
case have undoubtedly given the rural
population many a quiet chuckie.
According to report, many shrewd,
though unscrupulous. business men of
Chicago listened with bated breath to
the plausible but impossible plan by which
taxes could be reduced-for a considera-
ton to be paid the tax fixer Impressed
by certain simple demonstrations which
the tax tixers gave of their professed abil-
ity ito deliver the goods" the business
men handed over large sums of good
money TO the confidence men. In return
they got nothing Of value-nothins even
as substantial as the gold-tinted brass
brick which has tempted 50 many farm
ers to part with their cash. Many thou
sands of dollars were taken in by means
of this tax swindle, and Chicago paper
asserts that if the list of victims could
be published many familiar names would
be found.
And the city men are left without the
hope Of possible revenge. The farmer.
if he can but swallow his pride can
arouse the country side and make it warm
for the men who have swindled him.
But the Chicago men in question dare
make no complaint. for they themselves
became parties to a crime when they
agreed to have their taxes fixed"
The first warrant in the tax-hxing scan
dal arising from the discovery Of forg-
ed receipt for S26.710.11 for the Masonic
Temple taxes was issued Tuesday. II
was sworn out by representatives Of the
States Attorneys office. and charges
Luke Wheeler with being a fugitive from
justice.
Detectives believe Wheeler is not in OF
near Chicago. and they say that it is prob
able the fugitive is amply supplied with
money and perhaps aided in escaping the
officers by powerful interests, as were
Coughlin and Armstrong in the jury brib-
ing case Of two years ago.
