BEEF TRUST ON TRIAL
Secret Service Men Guard Witnesses
and Contempt Charges Threat
en- the Curious.

en- the Curious.
Chicago, March 22.-The special
grand jury to investigate the beef trust
was completed today. Three vacancies
in the panel were filled, and the huge
mass of testimony available was inn
mediately attacked.
A. J. Hoffman of Mendoza, ILL.,, was
designated by the court as formman.
District Judge j. Otis Humphrey
charged the jury to 'present no one
from envy, hatred or malice, nor to
leave anyone unpresented for fear, fa-
vor, affection, reward or hope of re-
ward.
The charge to the jurors was deliv-
cred in most impressive manner and
was listened to with deep interest.
Fifteen secret-service men have been
bought to Chicago. So great is the
desire of the federal officers to main
tain strict secrecy in the investigation
that every witness who testifies before
the inquisitorial board will be closely
guarded by one OF the secret-service
men to prevent his being approached
by newspaper men or agents of the
packers.
C. B. Morrison, appointed district at
torney to succeeds H. Bethea, recently
made district judge, declared that any
person detected speaking to or inquir-
ing the name of any of the witnesses
would be liable for contempt of court.

GET READY FOR TRAMPS
A Case Where an Ounce of Proven
tive Counts. ~afs

A Case Where an Ounce of Proven
tive Counts.
The attention of The News is called
to the fact that the railway building
going on will attract many tramps-
both pure-and-simple and halfbreed-
and that the city. should be prepared
for them. ~
Nothing is more effective in this mat
ter than to put these people at work.
In this way they can be made effective
and in so doing avoid forwarding them
as a nuisance to other communities.
No policy can be more offensive as a
municipal policy than sentencing tramps
and other small offenders and then sus-
pending sentence to allow them to get
out of town.
We should adopt a vigorous policy
and pursue it unrelentingly-thus re-
lieving ourselves of the nuisance and
avoid imposing them upon neighboring
communities.

MEANING OF The ISSUE
The Campaign for County Judge Is On
Well Defined and Import
tant Lines.

The Ladysmith News has been point
ed In its discussion of the campaign for
county judgeship. 1t wants to have the
facts understood. This is the most inn
portant office in the county. If we are
to have good county government we
should start with the county judgeship.
The News has not gone fully into the
facts reflecting upon the situation for
the reason that in the rush of starting
the publication of newspaper, we have
not had time to verify all the facts at
hand. However there is another week
ahead.
Touching Candidate McGill's extrav-
agant ideas of official fees and charges
we have enumerated enough to satisfy
any one that he belongs to that class of
people who believe that public office
may be made private snap to as great
a degree as possible. Our readers will
remember the transcript that cost sew
eral thsusand dollars more than it
should.
They will remember the county div
ision case--a simple one-which cost
the county nearly thousand dollars for
an argument by John Barnes and
s659. A to McGill for listening to it.
We have recounted the great cost for
floating Lsdysmith bonds.
We have pointed out the charge of
500. 90 for bond blanks, which cost no
thing when McGill's successor floated
subsequent bonds.
1t is we'll known in this city that Nc
Gill tried to crowd in a fee of $4,000
for preparing the last Ladysmith bonds
when the city attorney was willing to
do this work as part of hif official
duties.
There are but items-paragraphs in
chapter-features of book. But
they have mighty influence. They
point. out to the voter what would be
the policy of the county court under a
Judge of such exravagant ideas.
1t is unnecessary to charge dishonesty.
The effect is just the same. 1t is econ
omy that you want in public Offices
pecially in the county court, for when
your estate goes into that court you will
be gone forever. 1t is the interests of
your heirs that will be at issue. Every
consideration Of family, every domes-
tic tie, every thought of life's ambition
should come into play and direct your
vote in this election. You cannot af-
ford to have extravaganza prevail when
you are no longer the bread-winner of
the family.
Every public man makes his own Off
cial record-and that record is public
property. 1t is your privilege and your
duty to examine it. In this case you
are called upon to pass upon it. You
are in the position of guardians about
to employ agents. Do this solely upon
the record and The News will be satis-
fed
