WHY THE PACKERS SMILED.

The meat packers of Chicago no long
er stand in the shadow of a prison cell.
A federal judge has held that they can
not be prosecuted as individuals under
the antitrust law. but that any pro-
ceedings must be instituted against
corpora tions. 1t will not do for the
laity to question the wisdom of the de-
cision or the soundness of the logic on
which Il was based. However, some
people may be foolish enough to in
quire why. if the packers can by in
corporation evade a statute. a few men
cannot get together and organize, say,
a United Burglary company, Limited,
and so escape prosecution as individ-
uals
The packers are reported as smiling
broadly when Judge Humphrey handed
down his decision. It certainly was
their turn TO smile. There is no longer
any danger that they will be sent to
Jail. AS, obviously, a corporation can
not be incarcerated, any further pro-
ceedings against the meat trust viii be
more or less farciCaE If the govern
ment makes out a case. and if the pros
ecution is earnestly conducted a case
VII be made out, the only penalty that
can be imposed is a fine.
It is certain that fine viii be no pun
ishment whatever. Any amount of
money that can be assessed against the
trust will not fnjure the trust. A fine
of S25, eco. or 100000 or twice or three
times the amount last named, provided
il could, under the law, be imposed as
a penalty in these cases, would be alb
soluteIy ineffective as a means of put
ting an end to the meat trust. By the
simple expedient of adding a cent or
two to the price of dressed meats and
deducting a cent or two from the price
of livestock the packers could, in a day
or two compel the people TO pay all the
fines that might be imposed on them.
The decision will be regarded by a
great majority of the people of the
country as most unfortunate. Unless
some method of reversing it can be
found il viii be construed by the trusts
as a license to rob the public. Surely
If the meat trust members can escape
with fines for their corporation, every
other trust magnate in the country can
DO the same thing. The threat of jail
sentences was the only thing that
walked the meat trust men and started
them on their vigorous campaign of de-
Tense With that prospect removed
they viii feel that they can swaggeT
through the land plundering at will
without fear of molestation.
And what is the public going to do
about 1t? How would you Ike to try
quitting the use OF meat?

Just now, though there, is more or less

point, to be fairly quiet. 1t is, however,
an ominous quiet, calm before the
storm that must soon break. If In the
storm that is surely coming the Ro-
manoff dynasty is swept out of exist

only themselves to blame. 1t would

today than would be required to satisfy

ANOTHER RUSSIAN MYTH.

There IS about as much chance for
proletariat control OF the new Russian
national assembly as there is fo1 the
humblest peasant in the land to be sud
denly invited by the car to ASSUME the
throne. Apparently no effort is being
made to conceal the intention Of :ht,
bureaucrats TO have an assembly
that they can control absolutely. Ac-
cording to dispatches from st. Peters
burg, the elections that have been thus
far held were the merest farces. The
officials have so openly and so noto-
rIously terrorized the voters that bareIy
10 per cent of them have taken any pan
in the elections.
In st. Petersburg it is stated that the
designation by workingmen of their
real choice for the assembly is pr4c-
tically equivalent to the swearing out OF
a warrant of arrest for the candidate e.
All candidates OF a radical tempera-
ment are at once locked up and the only
choices left are those acceptable to the
bureaucrats. It IS perfectly natural,
under the circumstances, that the work
ing classes should refuse to vote or to
participate in any way in the election
procedures.
The national assembly, if there ever
really is national assembly, will be no
more representative Of the popular will
than If the car had appointed every
one of the members. 1t is absurd to call
an organization of this character a con-
stitutional form of government, and
nobody realizes the truth better than
the people of Russia. The powers that
control must expect a continuance Of
rioting and disorder: they must expect

uoRsE OF ANOTHER COLOR.

A Washington dispatch, telling about
the Republican caucus on the statehood
bill in the house of representatives,
says:
Speaker Cannon followed, touching first
on the binding effect of both caucuses and
conferences. He took the position that
where the party took action on any mat
ter Of this nature all members participant
ing were bound by that action.
The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives is, next to President Roose-
welt, the most powerful Republican in
the United States today. Some writers
have credited him with possessing, or
assuming to possess. powers even great
er than those Of the president. When
the speaker cracks his whip his fellow
Republicans run races with one another
to see which shall get into line most
quickly. His dictum that the action of
party caucuses or conferences is bind
ing on those who take part in them may
be accepted as Republican law and
gospel.
Only short time ago, however, an
other high Republican attempted to lay
down the law regarding conferences
and caucuses. This was Senator Lodge.
The gentleman from Massachusetts
contended that any attempt to bind
members of a caucus was an attempt to
stife Individual opinion, TO still the
promptings of the individual conscience.
Senator Lodge went so far as to de-
clare caucuses unconstitutional The
shoe was on the other foot then. A
Democratic caucus was under discus
sion.
VIII Senator Lodge now kindly rise
in his place and explain that Speaker
Cannon is entry wrong? If he wants
to be consistent that is exactly what
he will do. But, softly in your ear, we
are strongly of the opinion that that IS
exactly what he will not do.

moToRMAN FOUND GUILTY.

FOrsthe first time, It is stated, in the
history Of the country, street railway
mOtOrman mas been found guilty Of
manslaughter in the second degree be-
cause of a fatal accident. The case
comes from New York City. The mo-
torman ran his car into a wagon,
knocking the driver from his seat and
inf1icting injuries from which he sub
sequent1y died. The particulars of the
case are not at hand, but it must have
been a particularly aggravated one.
eyond doubt the finding of the jury
will have a beneficial effect upon street
railway motormen generally.
The pedestrian and driving public
have some rights that even motormen
should be compelled to respect. The
fact that man is driving a heavy con-
veyance that runs on steel rails under
charter giving him a right of way
through certain city streets does not
entitle him to disregard the rights Of
all other citizens. Generally speaking,
motormen are altogether toe careless.
And their carelessness is justified, to a
considerable extent, by the complais-
anee Of the public.
People have become so accustomed to
Ieapfng hurriedly out of the way when
the car gong sounds that they wouldn't
know how to do anything else. OF
course it would not do for anybody,
whether walking or driving, to DELHI
erately block a street car. On the prin-
ciple that it is better for one or two
persons to be inconvenience than to
delay a whole carload of passengers the
street car has the right of way and this
right the public should reasonably re-
spect. But motormen must be careful
to stay within their rights, to give ev-
erybody a fair length of time in which
to get away. If, when they fail in this.
somebody is killed by the car, then, IN
der the New York case, the motormau
is guilty of manslaughter.
