HOW TO CHECK TRUSTS.

Mr.. Untermeyer, one OF the
greatest trust lawyers OF New
York, is authority for the state
ment that there will never be any
effective antitrust work done in
this country until the criminal
clause Of the antitrust law in the
Sherman bill is enforced, and some
of the criminals are made to don
stripes and are locked in the PEN
itentiary. A $4,000 fine per day
amounts to nothing with the trusts
so long as Jones pays the lines.
Trusts will not die in this way.
The Republican party have the
power to enforce the Sherman law
and to put curb on the trusts but
they will never dol tor the reason
that the trust money is at the par
ties disposal in times Of need.

AN OPPORTUNITY to vote on proposed amend
ment of the state constitution will be given the people
of Minnesota at the next election. The amendment
if adopted will provide means for persons charged
with felony to plead guilty without first being
indicted by the grand jury. The amendment should
be adopted The present system is archaic. In
many counties the grand jury meets but year,
and it is no uncommon thing for persons charged
with crime to lie in jail six, eight or even tell months
before indictments brought against them.
Prisoners who were compelled to remain in jail many
months before they could plead guilty constantly
arriving here They usually are in bad physical
condition, owing to lack of exercise and close
fnement. The officials of the reformatory have the
same story to tell In paper county jails read
before the latest Conference of Charities and Cor
rection, Superintendent F. W Randall, of the state
reformatory said:
cit is not unusual for prisoner to be received
at the penal institutions, who has spent five six
months in Jail, although freely admitting his guilt,
and being prepared to plead guilty at the time of his
arrest Recently one was received who had spent
over eleven months in JAIL awaiting the first oppor-
tunity to plead guilty in court. These urge
their jail confinement for their earlier liberia
ton from the reformatory, but sorry to say that
the management has found that the effects Of con-
taminaton and idleness have tended to reduce their
recuperative powers and to their dispositions,
and that they are found class to be less likely
inmates than those who fresh from their
wrongdong."
It will not do to abolish the grand jury altogether.
There are times when it is of the utmost value.
When prisoner intends to stand trial, perhaps an
Indictment by the grand jury is necessary to fully
protect his rights; but in the name of sense
what object is gained by keeping in Jail who
frankly admits his guilt and who is anxious to get
to prison? Why should an Indictment by the grand
jury be required in his case? The voters of this
state should not neglect to adopt the proposed
sttutional amendment

DEBTORS prisons were abolished in England and
America soon as the public realized that to take a
that owes money and shut him up in place
where he will have opportunity to earn money is
anachronism bordering idiocy. It is like
taking carpenters tools from him and then order
ing him to build house. The Minnesota non-sup-
port law is about par with the old laws which
provided for the imprisonment of debtors. In this
state man failing to support his wife, and unable
to give bail to the amount of at least $780, is sent to
jail for indefinite period What the legislators
thought the falling Of such would accomplish
knows but themselves It certainly does not
help the wife. Judge Finehout of St. Paul recently
ignored the law entirely granting freedom on parole
to that had pleaded guilty to the charge of
having failed to support his wife. In explanation of
his course Judge Finehout is quoted having made
the following remarks, which will appeal to all
persons of common sense:
"The present non-support law is tbs rankest
kind of nonsense. If the man convicted of non
support cannot furnish bail he must remain in the
county Jail and be supported by the public, and
generally his family must also receive public aid
Such was the in the instance in question, and
took the law in my hands and decided to release
Halvorson his personal agreement to carry out
the conditions of the bond. Of course the paper is
not worth anything if Halvorson chooses to skip out
but the law is far beyond reason that could see
no reason for enforcing it. The very idea of the
legislature enacting law that will keep man in
jail indefinitely is beyond reason Personally. have

WITHIN the past decade thousands Of emigrants
have left the United States and have gone to western
and northwestern Canada where they settled on farm
lands. In order to go some of them disposed of
good farms in this country. Now many are prepar-
ing to return, wiser for their little experience They
find that good land and fair crops not adequate
compensation for the rigorous and inhospitable
climate, that the cost of living is higher in their new
home than in the States and that, despite the
generous soil, they really no better off than of
yore. More money may pass through their hands,
no sticks to their fingers.

in another country lacks foresight Let him wait

The Minneapolis Mirror has dis
covered a new way to determine
when spring has arrived. It says,
when pop commences to take down
the stoves, beat the carpets. clean
the furniture, take down the
storm windows, and do the drudg-
cry about the house while mamma
gads about town looking for the
latest styles in Easter hats you
may be sure thatspring has arrived.
But this would make very poor,
unreliable almanac, for in the
majority of cases mamma performs
these home tasks, while pop "gads"
about town seeking an opportunity
to be invited to have a cigar, a
drink or something that avails
nothing.
A writer in one of the magazines
a few weeks ago stated that in "a
years the divorces granted in the
Dominion of Canada numbered SO,
while in the same period in the
| United States the number was
nearly 100000. In Canada, he
said, there are but two things
which can dissolve marriage, and
these two things are death and
infdelity. Another writer in some
publication not long ago stated
that at one sitting of a Paris court
no fewer than 294 divorces were
granted These writer's contend
that the divorce laws of the United
States and France are altogether
too easy and there are many others
who have the same opinion with
regard to this country. Maybe
they are right, for the reason that
very many of these dissolved unions
work more or less hardship upon
the children. But, all things con-
sidered, are not divorces and sep
arations better than quarrelsome
homes? If a wife tries to do every
thing in direct violation of the
wishes of her reasonable or un-
reasonable husband, would it not
be better to dissolve partnership?
If husband never tries to meet
his wife half or quarter way in
making home happy, if he only
makes of his home place to eat,
sleep and change his clothing,
passing all his leisure hours in the
company of other men or women,
away from home and never taking
his wife with him, leaving her to
do all the drudgery of the home,
would not a divorce be better?
But that case in Virginia a few
weeks ago was little unreasonable,

too) having sold his wife and two
children for two fishing nets.
