Sugar Trust the Goat

- HE merciless lambasting of the Roosevelt and Taft administra-
tons for their weak and vacilating policy with regard to the
= sugar trust and the exposure of it's unlawful methods, which
has been carried on by the daily, weekly and monthly press for the
past several years, has finally brought out a defense, and today the
United Press furnishes its papers with an official and authorized state
ment in behalf of the Roosevelt and Taft administrations.
The defense attempts to show that both Roosevelt and Taft have
been persistent in their efforts to punish the sugar trust and that In SO
doing they have recovered two or three million dollars that had been
stolen by the trust through conspiracy to defraud by short weights on
the Importation Of raw sugar. 1t was a downright steal OF the
coarsest kind, consisting of fixing the scales at the custom house,
4 petty larceny proposition in itself but Of great magnitude IN its
aggregate results. The government was satisfied to simply recover the
amount stolen and let the criminal go free. In ordinary cases the
goods are recovered when possible and the culprit prosecuted and sent
"a prison. The excuse set out by the administration apologlsts is that
there W no federal criminal statute exactly covering the point, but
that such as statute has since been revived.
The nicely with which the apologlss for the Roosevelt AM Iaft
administrations have endeavored to divide the credit for the sugar
trnstp prosecutions, is amusing to those who read between the lines.
Roosevelt himself, in far away Africa, wrote a defense in the Out
loeb =, showing that he does not intend to be overlooked when the
bononets re handed out; at the same time, Taft in the saddle, and a
rrosnoot;ve candidate for a denomination, must come IN for credit
a,thonph Roosevelt initiated and put through the prosecution from
the bec;nn;nc almost to the end, leaving the tag-end of the business
hanging over into the Taft administration.
While claiming so much credit for the sugar trust prosecutions,
one fails to see any reference to the Standard Oil or other trusts.
Some days ago it was suggested in these columns that the admnisra-
ton was going to claim great credit as a "trust-buster, : by citing the
sugar trust; but it was also suggested that the sugar trust was an
independent trust, not affiliated with any other; that none of the
influential politicians Or interests, - such as Morgan and Rockefeller,
was connected with the sugar trust in any way, and therefore the
sugar trust would be made the goat" And this seems exactly what
has happened, though we had no idea it would come SO soon.

TWO OFFICES INCOMPATIBLE
Cannot be Both District and City
Attorney

Since the accession of City Attorney
A. N Andersen to the office of District
Attorney four months ago, it has been
matter of discussion as to the pro-
priety of both Offices being held by the
same man, and there has been some
speculation as to which side of the
case our District-City Attorney could
or would take if the city and county
should become embroiled in lawsuit.
The last annual report of Attorney
General F. l.. Gilbert contains de-
cision covering two pages, on this
identical question. The decision is
dated Jan. 20, 1908, and was given for
the benefit of the district attorney of
Jefferson county. In it he says that
the two Offices are absolutely incom-
patible
If the district attorney can be city
attorneys other county officers might
be chosen to fill city offices. If the
salaries were thereby reduced it would
be a saving to the city.

PUSHING NEW
ROAD TO BRUCE
Town Line Road Brushed and Ready
Tor Grading. Will Shorten Route
between Here and Bruce

The new road laid out on the town
line between this city and Bruce was
brushed by private subscription
during the winter, and the people
who have been pushing the project are
anxious now to see it worked for ira
vel, so that the funds thus far expend-
ed will not be lost Warren Moore has
taken up the matter and is getting
signers to petition to the county
board to complete the work. This
road will shorten the distance from
this city to Bruce by team about four
miles. If the county board acts favor
ably upon the petition, the grading
will be done and charged to the towns
of Grant, Flambeau and Thornapple.
Those who have to travel this road
often are anxious that the petition
should be granted.

THE Wall OF THE GANG

Great Scott and has it come to this,
Are all mlsfortunes dumped
Upon us in catastrophe,
Or have we been Mugwumped?
The Heavens are lined with black to-
day,
Our record is wreck,
The Grand Rusk County Gang at last
Has got it in the neck.
The Mudsills we have sat upon,
And fed with crust and bone,
Have risen unexpectedly
And gras2ed the county throne.
The sceptre now is in their hands,
The royal robes they wear,
While we in utter ruin sit
Aand paw the empty air.
And T. M. T. and Ellingson,
Maloney and the rest
Laugh us to scorn and jeering say:
Come now, pull down your vest. p"
We can no longer bear these thoughts,
With them no longer dwell;
Let us arise with Major Tom
And say, 'It does beat----well." ="
And yet this ray of hope appears,
1t still our hearts may warm:
'FGod moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform. -
Perhaps at next election day
We may attain success
Without the aid of Boss McGill,
Babcock or J. C. S.
Then in nobler sweeter song
Well sing our power to save
With all this old Rusk County Gang
Politically in the grave.

CITY BUYS SITE
FOR A FACTORY
Retiring Council Takes Important
Action.-New Code OF Ordinances
Pass First Reading

The common council, three members
of which, with Mayor Baker, go out OF
office next Tuesday, began tonight the
passage of full code of ordinances for
the city. BY reason of recent decision
of the circuit court it was determined
that the greater part of our city's laws
are invalid, because Of the affidavit of
publication not having been filed by the
clerk as provided by law.
Some months ago the council en-
ployed L. E. McGill to assist City At
torney Andersen in revising the ordin-
ances preparatory to re-passing. Sixty
typewriter pages of ordinances passed
first reading" in less than two hours
tonight.
On recommendation of the board of
directors of the Commercial Club, the
council directed the purchase of the IL
acre tract where the ball ground is
located, to be held by the Club for not
more than five years as site for a
factory, and thereafter if the ground
is not used for manufacturing purposes
it shall revert to the city for a park.
This tract was bought of Robert
Corbett by the Commercial Club over
two years ago, notes signed by individ-
uals being given in payment. If the
city had not taken over this obligation
the land would have been partitioned
off and lost for the purpose for which
it is being held
All of the city officers elect have
qualified, including R. r. Johnstone
who was appointed to fill the vacancy
on the council.
