has already started to give the con- temptible beef trust what is known as the razzle dazzle and we sincerely hope he s'knocks'' them out, but he won l. they have too much money ana the Tong green'' seems to be highly ap- preciated over where the laws of the land are made. Say, if the kldnap- pers, who steal children for living, would only kidnap 8 few members or the beef trust and drop them accident ally into very deep water with heavy weight around their necks, We wonder what would happen the kid napper? We know their fate if Phe- Ian, the tea man, was the judge. Say we have a sort of very strong ldea that this very same beef trust has the butter market cornered; at least, IL looks that way to us. Therefore. II the people decide to eat more Dreau and butter and less meat they'll ma they are compelled to pay 10 cents per pound rise for butter. so it's six of one and. half a dozen of the other. we must eat something. and no matter to what we switch off the monopollsts have their eye open for our pockets; :; not to fill them; oh, no, but to empty them as slyly as possible. Well, II the lawmakers would drop the two cents per pound duty on beef. etc, and the six cents per pound duty on but ter and the retailers sell only imported butter and beef, things might change. We don't believe in selling foreign goods when we can get our own pro- ducts reasonable, but We do believe in giving the beef trust pair of black eyes. Boys, look at the baseball goods we have in our windows; then one in and buy them at
