What Says senator Hopkins.

The Chicago Trust Press. and a few
other newspapers which take their
cue from these papers, have been
stating that recently Senator Hop
kins told Gov. Yates that President
Roosevelt had decided the governor
must not attempt to succeed himself.
The statement was most positively
made that Senator Hopkins was the
presidents emissary in this matter.
In view of the fact that Gov. Yates
was the first executive to come out
in favor of President Roosevelt for
presIdent-and in view of the fact
that he took this position at a time
when Mckinley was alive and when
Roosevelt had few friends-it looks
strange that "Teddy" would take a
hand against the man who was for
him at a time when nearly all other
prominent politicians were against
him.
AS ii is generally conceded that Sena-
tor Hopkins is under more obligations
to Gov. Yates than any one else, il
looks strange that he would be the
messenger for the president The
average man with warm blood in his
veins, who has been favored by the
governor as Hopkins had been, would
never have been the bearer of any
such a message if asked to do so.
Gov. Yates says no such message
was delivered, but. republican eX
change announces:
''But what says Hopkins? He knows
whether he delivered it. He knows
whether he was asked to deliver it
He knows that if he was asked to de.
liver it. and if a spark of manhood hit
him. he refused. He knows that every
man who has regard for political hon,
or expects him to do all in his power
for Gov Yates denomination. He ought
to know that this story of his being
Roosevelt's messenger is doing the
governor no good, and he ought to
come out of the woods and deny it. il
it is not true. Br'er Hopkins was GLAD
to have Gov. Yates for him last year
and he will have to either fish or cut
bait soon, and he ought to understand
it,

market and have rules and regulations
that make it almost impossible for
the butcher to bny elsewhere. Any
butcher, if he wishes to, can give in
formation of the extortion and mon
opoIv of the trust and how helpless
the retailers are to stop or eYade its

Viewed from n political standpoint,
the beef trust is n monopoly restrain
ing trade and competition and daily
defies the antitrust law. The attempt
of the administration to control the
beef barons by asking the court to re-
strain them by injunction, has been
miserable failure. There is no doubt
that if the original section of the
antitrust law was invoked and the
principal beef barons were convicted
and imprisoned, the fear of like pun
ishment would effectually break up
| the combine and competition and
more reasonable prices would prevail.
The present supineness of the adj
ADMINISTRATION in dealing with the trusts
and the beef combine in particular, is
inexplicable except upon the theory
that there is Il bond, or affinity, be-
tween the republican leaders and the
trusts that they dare not sever.
| The beef barons by combining and
refusing to bid against each other at
the principal western stock markets,
virtually dictate the price that the
farmers obtain for their stock. BY
combining they refuse to to compete
in selling the dressed beef and thus
farmers. tradesmen, and consumers
all pay toll to the beef combine. In
! this way. about six companies each
controlled by one or two men, have
the entire cattle trade, and its pro-
ducts of this continent, in their grasp.

praiseworthy endeavors to reduce
chaos to order in the Philippines?
That the president did deliberately
administer n snub of the snubbiest
sort to the old soldier does not admit
of doubt. The announcements of his
retirement was supplemented by this
curt phrase:
Lieut.. Gen. Miles will proceed to
his home. The travel enjoined is nee
essary for the public service"
That is TO say, an allowance for
mileage on the journey homeward
from the seat of government sums up
the whole recognition that, in Mr.
Roosevelt's opinion. Gen. Miles career
deserves. The record itself need not
be told at length; it is familiar to all
as one of the most notable in our mil
itary history. Nelson a. Miles fought
through the most stupendous civil
war known to history, entering the
service as captain and leaving it as
a major general; was wounded and
commended at the battle of Fair
Oaks; commended in the seven days
battles; wounded and commended at
| Fredericksburg; again wounded and
commended at Charlottesville; ac-
lively engaged at Gettysburg; then
in the Mine Run campaigns; in the ter
rible campaign of the Wilderness; in
the Richmond campaign, and in the
