and to deprive II OF the services of its
employees who have for years, under
Its pay and institutions, cheated the
treasury by the use of false weights.
II is this last iniquity that will not
be forgiven. AS long as Collector Loeb
was satisfied merely to stop private
swindling, there was an occasional
growl from the syndicates that have
been bringing in dresses and diamonds
and other valuable property to the
amount of many millions a year with.
out paying duty. But when he laid
hands on the sacred Sugar trust II.
SELF he became an outlaw and no
longer to be tolerated. Since that
moment you can distinguish, by their
comments upon the custom service.
the newspapers of New York city in
which the Sugar trust or some one
OF Its co-partner monopolies has a con.
trolling interest.
The country expects and believes
that President Taft will give his en-.
tire and hearty approval to the Off.
cial, who Is so violently assailed simp.
ly because he will not let the rich and
powerful offender against the law slip
through It's meshes. We have no love
for the new tariff law; but at least
we need not add to it's iniquities by
making its applications partial. AS
long as we levy these duties, let lis
have them collected without fear or
favor. The moment the rich people
who try to bring in goods at
New York without paying duty cease
their swindling attempts, that moment
can the provisions for enforcement
be relaxed. The moment the COM
mercial monopolies become even or.
honest, that moment will they
cease to have anything to complain
OF. More power to the elbow of Loeb,

THE ILLINOIS LYNCHING.

For the second time within a com
paratively brief period, the name oil
Illinois has been stained by the crime
of mob of bloody hideousness.
There was no excuse for the lynch
ing of the negro, much less the
white man. That the laws would have
speedily claimed it's due from the &C
cused prisoners, seemed unquestioned
And that mob of 10000 persons, in
Guiding many women, should go crazy
in their thirst for human blood, brings
a disgrace upon the state of Illinois
far surprising the shame of the crime
for which the negro gave his life.
The fury of mob rule was shown
in the act of the passion-blnd crowd
in Selling a white man when they
failed to find the other negro they
were searching for, and lynching the
white.
A few mob leaders ought to be
punished, to stop this sort of wild
frenzy.

The parliament of Canada is now
in session and the paramount question
under discussion is that England has
expressed the sentiment tht Canada
must take some action looking to a
share in the naval defenses of the
empire, and that her control of any
naval contribution must be such as
not to abrogate Canadian automny
in any way. The Canadians in parlia-
ment are considering three ways of
responding to this call of the mother
country; The building of a small
Canadian navy, so that the dominion
shall be able to defend itself; the
building of two or three Dreadnaughts
to be contributed directly to the Brit
ish navy, and the contribution of a
specified sum to the British eXhequer
for naval purposes. The first pro-
posal, that of building small Cana
dian navy, meets with the most ap-
prevail, but it is more sentimental
than practical. 1t would be a more
sensible thing for Canada to strength
en- Great Britains navy, than to
bother with building a necessarily in
ferior navy at home.

nowadays and you are almost certain
to find in it somewhere the most
grievous complaints against the ad
ministration of the customs of the
service in that city. Collector Loeb
has had the exceeding bad taste to
insist that this law be enforced. He
has had his subordinates compel the

The experience of states which have
endeavored to free themselves from
the exactions of monopolies demon
strates very clearly that wherever
the people of any states have resolute-
ly taken action in their own behalf
they have accomplished wonders. The
south has been far more progressive
along lines of state antitrust legls-
lation than the north. Texas has al
most emancipated herself from trust
control. The relief must come
through state legislation. The prac-
teal failure of every suit brought by
the government to restrain or punish
the trusts tells its own story. The
federal machinery is too cumbrous
and slow. 1t is like setting an ele-
plant to catch lark. No one knows
this better than the trusts. They no
longer have any fear of federal re.
striction, and their boldness Is justi-
fled by the events of the past.
