The President has made WonderIul
record for swiftness in prosecuting
the beef trust. This trust touched the
tables of the rich. The porterhouse
steaks, the thick juicy sirloins, and the
dripping roasts. with which the rich
regale themselves, had raised In price
by the action of this trust. This was
q crime even more reasonable than
that which Funston would hang Sen.
ator Hoar for, so the President took
hold of this outrage and is to handle
it with gloves off, we hear. The steel
trust and the sugar trust and all the
other trusts which affect the poor
man, the farmer and laborer, are,
however, left to their acts OF robbery
and spoliation.
