SO the Beef Trust Is becoming the
oppressor of the poor In the matter Of
food aud raiment.

The Legislature to be elected next
fall must take steps to drive out
The Beef Trust.
The Patent Medicine Trust,
The Life Insurance frauds, and
The manufacturers who oppose the
pure food laws.
If Illinois is to take her proper place
IN the sisterhood Of States.
New York Is showing an example
to the whole country In the vim and
vigor with which she is going after
the life insurance frauds.
The developments In this investiga.
ton show the methods that these com.
panics have used In the New York
state Legislature, and which they
have. presumably, used In the Illinois
state Legislature.
But where the Insurance crooks
harmed one man, the Beef Trust
harms million men.
The Beef Trust goes into every
mans home and taxes every mouthful
of meat that he eats.
1t starves his family and puts the
ncccssarlcs Of life beyond the reach Of
the common people.
1t Is enabled to do this through the
crookeiness Of our Legislators, who are
controlled by Beef Trust agents.
The Beef Trust maintains a strong
lobby ut Springfield and kills all leg.
islatlon which It does not like and
looks out for legislation strictly to Its
interest.

But IL the people IRE forgotten, they
do not forget.
They remember the steady influence
Of the Beef Trust mt Springfield and
they also remember that while Mis-.

States will not stand for so much cor.
ruption In their State Legislature as
Illinois does.
The Beef Trust Is doing more to.
wards bringing on great and bloody
revolution In the United States than
all other agencies combined.
The Beef Trust regulates the price
Of food and laughs Mt the law.
The Beef Trust must so.

The number of members of the pros
cnt Legislature controlled by the Beet
Trust Is known to a man.
The Beef Trust has trlumphed In thu
councils of the Republican party al
Washington. There will be no hostil.
legislation this winter. The PresI
dents message on the subject Of rail
road observation-disclosures Beef Trusts
long suit-was surprisingly weak, com
ing from him. All of which means tina
Depew and the other railroad mel
/, and trust magnates are bOssing the Re
publican policy In Congress. And i
means also that the Democrats vii
sweep the country next fall from th'
, Atlantic to the Pacific.

Illinois Is not only the headquarters
OF the Beef Trust, but the people o
Illinois are its principal victims.
The Illinois Legislature will clthe
get after the Beef Trust or the peopl,
