once more the government has
proved the inslncerity Of SIS publicly
proclaimed antagonism TO the trusts.
The manner in which the beef cases
were handled in Chicago the other day
is conclusive evidence that Republican

ted crime by violating a law of the
land should not be dealt with just as
harshly as the hundreds who plead

Another surprising feature Of the trial
was the statement of the district attor-

victory Of the government. He launches
into a defense OF the convicted men.

"and II seems Il was necessary for

their obedience to the law, and the

But the American fishermen have
consistently and continuously violated

TO fish in Canadian waters just so they

They seem to consider II a particularly
