Trying TO Stop The Mercer,

81. 4Wr -FE,F-- Fr' ="
The National Live Stock associa
ton, several Western railways and
individual stockmen throughout the
West, with the assistance Of the
legal department Of the government,
have decided to fight the proposed
merger of the great packing indus
tries of the country. Work to this
end is in progress. The announce
ment was made by President John
S. Springer of the National Live
Stock association, last Friday, fol-
lowing the conference with Presi-
dent G. F. Morse Of Kansas City,
who is president of both the Kan
sas City and Denver Stock yards
companies.
0The government will be with us
in the fight said PresideatSpring-
er. President Roosevelt means
what he says when he talks about
trusts and have letter on my
desk authorizing my statement that
the Roosevelt administration is
with the association.
II have written to the big four
telling them that the association
and the stocEmen of the West will
oppose them at every move and the.
credit for the halt in the merging
Of the country's packing plants is
due to the action of the National
Live Stock association. We propose
fighting them on their own grounds
with the assistance of the friendly
railways. We will build packing
plants and establish move yards if
necessary. Denver will be benefit
ed, andsas 9 consequence it will be-
strictly in the beef market. Kan
sassCity, Denver and possibly Chi
cago, will bethe centers where the
opposition will mainly conduct the
fight.
President Morse Of the Kansas
City and Denver stock yards com.
panies says that if necessary his
company would build an indepen-
dent packing plant in=Kansas City.

THAT PEACE coHFEREcc1E.


The conference between TIL
representatives Of the coal trust,
President Roosevelt and the repre-
sentatives of the striking miners
has passed into history. A fail-
ure to bring the contending par.
ties together and end the strike.
was its only result. President
Mitchell, on behalf ofthe striking
miners, readily agreed to arbitrate
all differences, asking that Presi-
dent Roosevelt mama the members
of such arbitration committee.
The proposition was certainly a
fair one. 1t was more-it was
manly, it was patrio ic, it was
righteous! Roosevelt was ready
to act, to end the strike, to end
this era Of starvation and suffering
among the striking miners and
their helpless wives and children.
But with the haughtiness and inso-
lence which has characterized their
every move since this struggle be-
gan, the representatives of the coal
trust, backed by their millions
wrung from the common classes,
refused to arbitrate the matter.
Settling back upon their money
bags they simply said eve have
noting to arbitrate."
President Roosevelt appealed
in vain to their patriotism and
their responsibility to the public
at large. But they knew no pat
riotism except that which pours
the dollars into their Golfers, and SO
far as their responsibility to the
public went, tsdamn the public"
Such is the history Of last weeks
peace conference with the presi-
dent at Washington. Yet, upon.
the statute books Of the nation are
the laws which would make com
mon criminals Of these trust mag
mates if these laws were enforced.
Why are they not enforced2 The
Union firmly believes chat if The
odore Roosevelt had his own way
IN the matter, he, would e that
those laws were enforced. But
Theodore Roosevelt is not the re-
publican party and were he to rig
idly enforce the law and bring the
guilty ones to justice irrespective
Of their wealth or influence, the
responsibility would fall upon the
political party to which he owes
his position. Republican success
would be jeopardized by antagon-
ling the trusts-that is all. Re-.
public success is held higher
thanzpublic welfare, and IS consid-
cred Of more importance than the
starvation Of men, women and
children. Not one criminal pros
ect:ution has been brought against
the trust magnates, nor will such
prosecution beSDrought BY any re-
publican attorney general. Moth
ing must BE done that will in any
way ieopardize republican success.
Thus We see the republican par.

A NOTED SCOUT.

Boys are apt 20 think of scouts as
hard fighters and hard drinkers, and,
that camping in the open as they must
in all weathers. that liquor is ne
cessity. but Captain Jack Crawford,
ex-chief of government scouts, has
never drank drop OF Intoxicating
liquor in his life. He had been or
dered by rough men at the point of a
rev Oliver to drink with them, but he
answered, ''You may shoot me, but l
will never break the promise 1 made
my dying mother" Captain Jack
also says that he has proved many
times, here and in the Klondike, that
drinking men cannot stand cold and
exposure so we'll rs total abstainers,
and that often the drinking men would
freeze toes and fingers while he WAS
quite warm and comfortable. -
