lowering the price of meat,
even if they so desired. His
hope is that the independent
butchers forced out of bust
ness by the rate discrimina-
ton will soon resume COM
petition locally and reduc-
ton of prices will follow.
There can be no question
that rebates on transporta-
ton were the most effective
factor in enabling the trust
to secure a practical monop-
oily of the market. The
relief that may follow the
restoration of local compe-
tltion will necessarily be
slow in coming, but if the
prescription of rate discrimi-
is stringently enforc-
ed it should in time afford
an effective check against ex-
tortionate prices.

KY. DEMOCRATS.
ACTED THE FOOL AND SPLIT
AGAIN

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 25-The
Democratic Executive Committee
met here to-day and ordered pri-
mary election for the nomination
of all State candidates. The pri-
mary is called tor May 8 next.
The calling of a primary is an
innovation with the party in this
State, conventions having always
been held heretofore, and the OPP
ponents of it asserted that ma
jority OF the candidates and pros
pective candidates for State offices
'oPPossd- holding primary, but
none of them went before the COM
mittee to make protest.
Tonight Committeeman Charles
w. Meacham, who dissented from
the committees action filed suit
to enJoln the committee from hold
ing the primary and sets up The
claim that the call is illegal and
void and a usurpation of power
that the committee does not possess
under the party law, 1t also as
serts that Chairman Young and a
majority of the committee have
combined and conspired with GER
tain candidates for State Offices to
hold the alleged illegal primary
and to by fraud and other means
prevent a fair expression of the
voters. Chairman Young and 9th
er members of the committee were
served.with notices of the injnnc-
ton before they left the city to-
night, A temporary restraining
order was granted and the case will
be tried before Judge CantriIl lat
er.
If the voice of the people is the
object sought surely a primary
election can more certainly obtain
1T than convention, and therefore
we don't now see the force in the
"big kick" now on with so many
papers. However Ke n tuck
Democrats wouldn't preserve their
record" If they didn't split
about something.

why BEEF CONTINUES DEAR.

Solicitor General Richards
offers an explanation of two
problems which have been
exercising the public mind
Iince the institution of the
Government suit against the
beef trust. First as to why
an injunction suit was pre-
ferred to criminal proceed
ings. The Solicitor General
observes that a criminal suit
against the leading members
of the trust would have failed
unless hit could be proved
that they were personally
cognizent of the unlawful
acts of their employees, a
proof difficult to obtain.
Further, the criminal process
offers so many avenues for
| rocrastination. The first
