A BEEF TRUST.
Attorney General Declares 1t Controls
Meat Supply of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The brief Of
the government in the case of Swift &
& Co. against the United States,
known as the beef trust case, prepared
by Attorney General Moody. was pre-.
sented to the supreme court of the
United States today. The brief is de-.
voted principally to a argument to
show that the packers are engaged in
a conspiracy to monopolize interstate
commerce in fresh meats.
The attorney general says: ut
may be remarked that judges have diff.
fered as to the validity of aggrega-
tions Of capital effected by some forms
of organization, but in the case Of
smaller and competing organizations
economists are far from agreeing that
such aggreg atoms, within limitations,
are hurtful. So, too. associations Of
manufacturers to regulate competition
within a restricted area have not al
ways been condemned by courts, and
have sometimes been approved by
publicists. But has a responsible
voice yet been heard in support of q
combination OF all the producers of a
commodity necessary to life, by which
the confederat acquire absolute con.
troll and dominion over the produc.
ton, sale and distribution of that
commodity throughout the entire ter
ritory of a nation, with the power at
will to raise prices to the consumer of
the finished product and lower prices
to producers of the raw materials?
Yet such is the case now at the bar of
this court. That there is a conspiracy
to contro! the market iof the nation
for fresh meats, that it does control
it, and that its control ia oppressive
are facts known of all men. The
broad question here is. does the gov.
ernment's petition with its statements
of facts standing unchallenged dis.
cover that conspiracy to the court:
We submit that 1t does, and that the
decree of the civil court should in all
things be affirmed"

Anglo-Saxons at Peace.

Some recent changes In Great Brit
aims defensive policy, by which she
leaves her Atlantic and northern Pa
citic seaboards practically undefended,
are considered by Sir Charles Dixie,
the reform leader, in the London Stand
ard. Sir Charles is not steadfast ad-
vocate of disarmament on the part OF
England, but he thinks that his country
and ours will never again wage war
upon each other TO quote:
1t would be an exaggeration TO pretend
that we have entirely disarmed toward
the United States any more than we have
toward any other country. The United
States is a power which has become vul-
nerable by setting up colonies across the
seas. No one suggests, however. either
that we covet these colonies or That the
loss of them would weigh heavily in the
terms of peace that might follow any pos
Sibie collision. Canada as Il self respect
ing state has an excellent military coll
lege and is slowly improving her militia
without, however, either setting up Il reg
ular force or buying arms on Il scale
which can for moment compare with .he
establishments of her great neighkor.
Substantially, the fact remains that the
British government has shown its pro-
found belief in the stability of the present
friendly and. indeed. excellent relations
which exist between ourselves and the
United States and in the community of in
terests between The two great English
speaking powers.
In the opinion of Sir Charles the
present understanding between France,
England and America will last and
eventually lead to disarmament i'll
the Pacific.

EXCITEMENT IN JAPAN.

EXCITEMENT IN JAPAN.
Probably the coalitions OF popular
excitement in Japan would have at
tracted less notice if they had not come
into such sharp contrast with the dis
play of absolute unity on the part of
all classes in that nation during war.
The Japanese as the world. has seen
them have been absolutely at one with
their emperor and their executive Off
cials, ready TO approve and support un
qGestioningly every governmental act.
Now that peace has been declared the
world is receiving proof that acute an.
tagonisms ana conflicts of public sent
iment are possible in Japan as in other
nations. There as elsewhere varying
shades of opinion among diverent fac
tions and classes blend to make up pub
lie sentiment.
II the present demonstrations result
in anything more disturbing than a
sharp partisan conflict, with the posi-
BILE overturning of the ministry, how
ever. they will go beyond precedent.
In past crises japanese have stormed
against their ministry and even attem-
pied the lives of some of them, but
their loyalty to the emperor as spirit
ual and temporal head of tn nation has
remained undiminished. Mutsuhito
is not only ruler, but divinity, tracing
The constitution promulgated in 1889,
establishing the basic law upon which
the present government rests, FRO
claims him the successor to a dynasty
which has been and shall continue to
be ''unbroKen for ages eternal" His
executive authority IS absolute, while,
subject to the imperial diet, he also
holds the legislative power.
However obnoxious the peace terms
may be to some of the Japanese they
will defy tradition if tLey criticise the
emperor or attempt to secure the revo
cation Of any act OF wli,h he ap, ives
The popular resentment will be direct
ed against the ministry, which, as III
certain other nations, technically as
sumes responsibility fer the acts of
state, thus assuring the irresponsibllity
of the sovereign. That the present
cabinet, including Count Katsura as
president and Baron Ko-nura as foreign
minister, will be thrown out seems
probable. Beyond the sacrifice of the
cabinet the present gust OF excitement
is not likely to go. 1t is hardly con-
ceiyable that people so sagacious as
the japanese have shown themselves
to be will support the Toxic council in
urging the election of the peace treaty.

Health Habits For Summer Days.

A physician writing for the London
Mail on the subject of outings to i'm
prove health points out certain hygienic
rules which are often overlooked by
"all outdoors" He says there is dan
ger for the novice i'll OVERRIDING things,
especially i'll the matter of strenuous
exercise, such as walking and climbing
hills. Undue strain upon the heart will
neutraliZe the benefit derived from
fresh air and sunshine. He says:
Your sleep and your appetite are the
best means of judging whether you are
doing we'll or Ill. Holidays should be
great sleeping tmls, and assuredly the
most common cause of insomnia in our
day is worry. The sort of air worth
breathing is that which several other
people have not had so at already
1t helps one to sleep and is an unsur-
passed tonic. | do not care whether the
air be sea or mountain, so long as IL be
pure. There is no exercise better than
swimming. and q bath does u nonswim-
mer almost as much good. A constant
mistake is to stay in too long. The value
of 4 cold bath is in inverse proportion to
its length. Ten minutes should be a max
inlm, especially If you do not swim.
1t is all right to be greedy after sun
shine, which is life to man and death
TO his most deadly foes, adds this au-
thority. Sunstroke may be avoided by
protecting the eyes and head, and the
back of the neck particularly. Mi
crobes cannot exist in sunshine, and
the sun bath is at once luxury and
curative agent to be had for nothing
