The Beef Trust.

1t is now about three years ago that
the beef trust WAS brought to bay by
Judge Crosscup, OF the U. S. Circuit
Court, at Chicago, by injunction to
restrain the packers from open viola.
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
His order was sustained by the Fed
cral Supreme Court, but the packers
have since acted rs if they were eupe-
nor to the law even when adludicated
by the highest court, and continued
certain practices that had been the
subject Of the complaint. Their &C

their ill-gotten wealth and political

lessen respect for the law and TO make
it more difficult OF enforcement.
This is not one of tho cases that

RESIGNATION OF WALLACE CAUSES
RANCoR.-There is much more in the
resignation OF Chief Engineer Wallace,
OF the Isthmian Canal, than appeared
on the surface at the time he insisted
upon being relieved from duty. The
President joins Secretary Taft in say
ing that he has violated every prin-
ciple OF honor and duty" Taft scolds
like q harridan in his letter accepting
the resignation. Here is a sample
sentence OF the official document
"For mere lucre you change your
position in a single night. without
thought of the embarrassing position
in which you place your government
by this action, when the emergency
forces are left without a real head and
your department is not perfected in or.
ganization; when the Advisory Board
OF Engineers is to assemble within two
months, and when am departing for
the Philippines on public duty" 1t
seems rather drastic language for the
leading Cabinet officer to employ in
discharge of a periunctory duty which
no manner OF remonstrance or con.
demnation could change. The rules
OF true refinement, to say nothing OF
the dignity which should always
clothe diplomatic acts, should have
restrained the Secretary of War from

one OF their own party, when it may
not coincide with the personal aspira-
tons planned by the President for his
successor.
Antagonisms thus early aroused in

not likely to promote that harmony
which presages success. The Republi-

come so ponderous that it can hardly
