closure that a gigantic swindle is be-

transportation companies of Europe
are paid by the foreign governments
to dump their disease-impregnated
scum into this country. This condi-
ton of affairs, if true, is about as
dangerous to health as the products

The Providence Journal, in contend
ing that there should be greater
punishment for law-breaking monopo-
lists, clearly defines it's reasons as fol-
lows: sit is no unworthy hostility to
millionaires that inspires the public
demand, that some severe penalty
shall be imposed upon the men thigh
er up in our law-breaking corpora
tions. It is, rather, conviction that
all this talk about depressing the
trusts and establishing a new fnan-
cial and commercial era in the United
States is beside the mark so long as
the individuals who have contributed
most largely to the creation of these
monopolistic deformities of the
twentieth century are permitted to
escape the operation of the outraged
and avenging law. To inf1ict fines
upon intangible corporations for re-
bates or concessions is not enough:
these forfeitures can easily be paid if
they are not too frequent and too
heavy. Nor is it sufficient to con-
denim a little group of underlings to
