The Eagle feels highly compliment
ed over the way its reading matter
stolen and reprinted without credit
But 1t feels sorry that tho able editor
who steal 1t cannot give 1t wide
| circulation than they do. As the En- Il
reaches Its readers at least twenty
four hours earlier than the prlncipu
purloiners, the thefts are easily reCOa
nlzed.
| The Beef Trust counts upon electln
majority of the Illinois delegation I
Congress next year.
Hogs that go to England and til
United States are not examined 10
| trlchina. All hogs for Germany
France and Austria are. Some escape
| though.
The Beef Trust will get its desert
before many years roll by. The Trus
press cannot hide the truth nom th
people. Little by little they will lear
the facts. and when they do wal ! uV
you will hear an explosion.
Why Is Illinois afraid to tackle tn
! Beef Trust?
