Won't Plead Chilly

Washington, July 2S.-A repre-.
sentative Of the American Tobacco
company said today there was nc
truth in the published report that
Inc company was planning to divide
the trust into nominally independ-
.ent corporations, so as to meet the
approval of the government, before
the latter's suit for monopoly comes
up for trial.
This denial can be put down as
coming from Mr.. Duke and the other
officials of the company" he added.
We will make answer to the gov
ernment's complaint in the proper
place-that is, in the United States
courts"
Edwin P. Grosvenor, specia. as
sistant to the attorney general, also
doubted the truth OF the report.
Neither Mr.. McReynolds nor himself
had had. he said. any intimation
from the tobacco concern that its
managers were in a contrite mood
for their alleged sins and were ready
to confess their monopoly Of the to-
bacco business.

A WORD TO TIE WISE


p BY unanimous consent the anti-sa

cred by them as a period Of proba-
ton. The Sun is inclined to the orin-
\ ion that the saioonkeepers hold their
fates in their own hands. Chief Of
Police Collins is engaged in a crusade
against Sunday yiolators and the
conductors Of disorderly resorts. The
realization may have penetrated the
understanding Of such persons BY
this time, that Chief Collins is in
earnest Some Of them may also have
some vague comprehension that
judgments in the police court are al
ways followed with a revocation of
their licenses.
A saloon keeper, who violates the
Sunday closing law, is entitled to no
more consideration than is bur
glar or a highwayman; but these
men have been warned repeatedlv
Submission to nominal fines in the
police court and open defiance of tbs
power Of the executive arm of the
government, is nothing less than an
aggravation Of the original offense
Successful defiance will result only in
the people Strengthening the execu-
tive arm The American people are
long suffering, but they will never
permit any set Of men to aagrantly
violate the Sabbath ordinances

cab who keep to the letter and spirit

Not even a policeman may violate
the law without suffering for It.
Fifty-two Of Louisville's finest" are
on the carpet before the board OF
public safety. They will be in the
criminal court before they get
through. Chief Gunther was recently
retired on a pension of nearly $1,000
year. He Will lose this bonus, if
found guilty. These men merely for
the advantage. Of their political party,
assaulted citizens at the polls, aided
.repeaters in impersonating legal vot-
ers,' and even stole ballot boxes, to
prevent citizens Of the opposite po-
litical faith voting, and now they
must pay the penalty. Some OF them
by reason Of their titles stood higA
in the estimation of the community,
and men higher up may be gathe4ed
into the net, if the patrolmen decide
to peach. and who can blame them.
If the policemen were guilty Of law
lessness, they were no doubt obeying
the orders of the board of public
safety. If they were disobeying the
board. they should have been dis
missed from the service, but they
were not. A policeman can hardly be-
expected to stand all the responsible
ty for doing what he was ordered to
do to hold his job. There are some
rascals in Louisville, who
are ripe for punishment.
