EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL
In the issue of the
Journal for December 28th 1905,
notice the announcement of the de.
mise of Jacob andrews.
[ perused the obituary notice
with unusual interest and marked
every kind word of eulogy in behalf
of that mountaineering old gen.
tleman and his estimable wife, with
whom | was associated for many
years as neighbor and later, for
nearly three years, in the capacity
of househeeper, where, in both in
stances | had an excellent oppor-
day life.
Every commendatory word spo-
ken in praise of his character, is
not only beautiful tribute to his
memory, but eXemplifies the high
regard awarded him in life by
those who knew him best
While not protesting Christian
he was a moral man and like Soc.
rates of old, in working out his
morals he lived the life of a model
Christian, befriending the helpless
and needy and observing the laws
of absolute honesty in every respect
Truly, it is said OF him that the
world is better for his having lived
in it, and being that he recognized
the existence of supreme power
it might be further said that if the
human race from time immemoria
had been composed of such persons
as he and his goodly wife, there
would have been little need of The
Divine father sacrificing his beloved
Son for the remission Of the world's
sins.

(From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 6.
1901

1905.)
When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked
permission to inspect their books, the
condition was made that no informa-
ton he might obtain thereirom would
be used. in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, 1t Is
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business In all its de-
tails from the inside.
Now, 1t is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over to
the government department of justice
to be employed in legal prosecution Of
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. 1t Is not his good faith,
but the governments, that Is in ques-
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens
of Chicago. II II can be proved that
they are guilty of engaging in q con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt, II they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given a square deal.
Since the government has elevated
its vision to such a height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
in New Jersey, almost within the
shadow Of the capitol dome, in order
to fasten itself a thousand miles away
upon Chicago, the government and
the President cannot be too careful
to avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offend
ers than offenders in the east.
Some of the methods already en-
ployed in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into a
mans house and steals his private pa
pers, when it drags the wives Of pack
ing-house employees into court and
puts them under heavy bonds, 1t Is
hardly dignifed. not to say honorable.
uor even respectable.
