Tainted Money

has come before the public once more. We see the Standard Oil Co has been given fair trial in regard to their making tainted" money, and the fine $29.24O,000) twenty nine million, two hundred and forty thousand dollars, has been imposed;

Have you taken mo- tice of the large crowds of people the trolley company carry to and from Hamilton Park day after day, and on Sunday the people can hardly get standing room on the cars, and yet we haven't heard of that company saying to the public that they would pay for Cat least) one band concert per week. No, no, that would cost money. We'll. that may be one way of doing business, but it's stingy way and doesn't please us at all.

TEXAS WAR ON TRUSTS

When it comes to waging war on trusts, commend us to the sovereign state of Texas, says the Washington Herald. All other trust busters must take a back seat by comparison with the legislators of that puissant common wealth. Even the much heralded Purdy scheme for putting the bad trusts into the hands of receivers was anticipated by Texas statesmen, for an antitrust act now in effect in that state author izes the court to appoint a receiver for a corporation whenever the interest of the state may seem to require such ac- tion. The same act gives the state a lien on the property of all corporations convicted of violating the antitrust laws, and authorizes the issue of writs of garnishment, sequestration, attach ment and injunction.
 All trusts look alike to the Texas leg ioi"t"iJ anu oo Ho uiSbinCtiOn IS Indue between good and bad trusts. There is no such thing as good trust, and anything made by a trust is attaint and forbidden. No merchant may sell trustmade goods on pain of imprison- ment, and no agent of trust company may presume to offer his wares for sale within the bounds of Texas. The sale of such goods has been made a felony, punishable by a term of two to ten years in prison. No known trust will be permitted to operate in Texas, and the attorney general is preparing to bring actions to drive them all out of the state and to initiate criminal pro- cecdings against their officers and their agents.
 The practical consequences of this particularist and destructive policy will be awaited with interest by observers of economic legislation. It would seem to tend to interfere with interstate commerce, and to place restrictions upon the normal movements of trade that may not be at all beneficial to the people of Texas To forbid the sale of innocuous articles simply because

Some yellow freak journalist has sue eeeded in having published in New York paper a story to the effect that forty thousand Japanese war veterans are massed on the Mexican frontier ready to attack Texas and Arizona. If there were any truth in the story we would advise the warlike Japs to get the old Mexican opinion of the qualities of the Texas fighters, which was that Mexico could lick the United States if it wouldn' t be for the "Tehanas. 1"

produced by trust would seem to be gigantic undertaking by the side of that of preventing the sale of liquor which last has been found to be well night impossible. We should think that after few months effort to stop the sale of thread, sugar, tobacco and like articles of universal use the whole state would be given over to the lying, ipva- sion, perjury and petty prosecutions which have characterized the attempts to enforce prohibition in other common wealths.
 It is curious commentary on the force and efficacy of so-called Demo- cratic principles that important tenets of the old faith should be violated by professed members of the party in a doctrinaire attempt to control by arbi- trary legislation the course of trade, and to dictate to the citizen what he shall buy and with whom he shall deal. There will have to be some new defining of Democracy to take in the theory that the state may make it felony to buy what you want, from whom you please, and wherever you like.

THE HOLO-UP IN GOODWIN WASH
Written for the Silver Belt by
 GEORGE H. SMALLEY

GAuthor's s Note-To many Silver Belt readers this story will not appear who'll ly as fiction, despite the unfamiliar names, which are fictitious. While the operations of "Dr. Rose' are familiar to many Arizonans, as well as thousands throughout the east where he east his bait for "suckers," the story of his carefully planned hold'up in order to secure the stock held by the "suckers " he brought to Arizona for an inspection of his "mine" is known to but few. The expose of the doctor, his flight into Mexico, his subsequent appearance in this country, his rearrest and second flight to parts unknown, are known to the reading public of the continent. As to the other characters, Red Wilkins has since crossed the divide, assisted ny the bullet of Nv Mexican officer, for cattle rustling, and Hank Ferret is we'll known Gila county mine oper- ator.

discretion In JurIes.

II viii be unfortunate IL the ehiclm-
cy OF the jury system ia brought into
question by verdicts which are not
strictly in accordance with the facts
before the court. Very often accused
persons assume that their fate rests
with the jury rather than with the law
In the case, as though the twelve good
and true men might be swerved by
considerations other than regard for
the enforcement OF the law. We can
not have ideal jurors and ideal YER
diets without healthy public opinion.
The jurors come from the people and
so back among the people, The In
tent OF the system is that the accused
shall have the judgment Of his fellows,
any one of whom might be in the same
plight but for circumstances. 1t may
be unfair to consider this feature of 1t
loyalty to the individual instead Of
loyalty TO society. Said Judge Strong,
''The state. the public. have an interest
in the preservation Of the liberties and
the lives OF citizens and will not allow
them to be taken away without due
process of law when forfeited, as they
may be, as a punishment for crime"
Discretion Is given to a judge by
the system of minimum and maximum
penalties. Often he would make the
sentence harsher or lighter II the law
would permit Jurors recommend
measure of mercy not called for by
the verdict, and without doubt law
yers on both sides are guided by
conscientious regard for society more
often than Is popularity supposed.
The law Of capital punishment Is per-
haps correctly believed to incline jurors
to lenlency In many cases. Often 1t
becomes a question of taking useful
life to make good the loss Of life that
society Is well rid of. In cases of this
kind the exercise Of discretion by the
jury meets with public approval, and
it Is taken for granted that the prlnci-
pie will not be abused. The spirit OF
the laws IL wholesome and aims at the
reign OF justice. The application Of
them In the same spirit Is possible
where men look upon law as an lnstru-
meut Of government and not as yoke
to be borne at every sacrifice,

kraSnzIsin's New Place.

Alvin o. Kraenzlein, the former
Pennsylvania track athlete, has been
chosen to succeed Thomas u. Burke,
formerly Of Harvard, as coach of the
Mercersburg (Pa.) academy track
team. Kraenzlein not only is a great
athlete, but has had varied and sue
cessful experience as a trainer.
He was in charge of the track men
at the University Of Wisconsin for
two seasons and also trained a num-
Der OF schools in and around Philadel-
phia. He was highly recommended
by Mike Murphy, the Penn veteran
trainer, who expects him to make good
training the preparatory school ath-
letes at Mercersburg.
Kraenzlein has a great record as an
all around track athlete, made not on
ly while representing his college, but
with the Chicago Athletic club and the
New York Athletic club. Besides be-
ing a record holder in the low and
high hurdles and broad jump, Kraen-
zlein has made good marks in the
sprlnts, quarter, pole vault high jump
and weights. He holds the American
amateur record In the 100 yard hur-
dies, 900 yard hurdles and broad jump,
his mark for the events being 10 10
seconds, 90 3-5 seconds and "a feet AZ
inches respectively. Kraenzlein will
have squad Of about seventy-flve
men to work on in the spring. which
includes number OF hurdlers and
Jumpers Of promising ability, and he
is expected to develop some stars out
of the squad.
