HIGHER PRICES FOR MEATS.

It was but recently that the country was informed of an increasing num- Der of steers and hogs. and of a ban ner crop of corn with which to fatten them at low cost. and that prices of meats would. therefore be permanently lower Now. information comes to the effect that prices are to be higher.
 An authority recently stated that but for vexatious restrictions. put into ef- feet at the instance of the Beef trust, which place an impenetrable fence against the importation of South American meats. not even the tariff duties of to 11s cents pound would suffice to bar out such importations. In other words. the South American producers could pay these duties. and then undersell the Beef trust in our markets.
 If arbitrary restrictions are the sole obstacle to the establishment of com petition in our markets. why not rescind them? So long as the Beef trust can. and does. compete with these same South American meats in the London market. and sells There at lower prices than here. 1t needs neither tariff duties nor the GUS toms restrictions. Why not repeal the former and rescind the latter. and give home consumers the benefit of competition. thus compelling at least a recognition by the Beef trust of the fact that an increased number of steers and hogs. and lower cost of fatten- ing them. demand lower instead of higher prices to consumers?
 In the case of lumber. President Taft has stated in his message that com bination to fix prices should result in a repeal of tariff protection. Let this principle be applied to the tariff duties on meats! The conditions demand such action even more than in the case of lumber. Even at its present sess. on of but three months. Congress could easily wedge in such a measure be- tween the appropriation bills. provided of course that Aldrich in the Senate and Cannon in the House would per- init such action.

JUSTICE SEES DAlGER
 IN SECRECY OF DIVORCE

New York, Dec. 9.-Justice Joseph Aspinall, of the Supreme Court, in Brooklyn, whose policy has been to give the widest publicity to divorce proceedings, yesterday again went on record in favor of letting the pubic know what the courts are doing il the disposition of divorce cases.
 His announcement followed a re- port that Justice Putnam, who prs sided in Special Term of the Supreme Court Wednesday and heard the un- defended divorce calendar, had de- clined to permit a reporter to see the pleadings in a case. Justice Putnam yesterday di avowed any intention of clothing with secrecy the divorce cases tried before him.
 Justice Frederick E. Crane is strongly opposed to trying divorce cases in secret.
 'I am in favor of the widest pub licity in divorce trials" said Justic+ Aspinall. ''The more publicity tn. less divorces, believe; at least, the less collusive and fraudulent di- vorces. The court, and by that mean the judges, cannot be too care secrecy in divorce is possible for the wealthy and that only poor people have any fear of the publicity tha, should follow all such cases. Oi course. there are some particularly scandalous divorce cases, the testi- mony of which is unprintable, hu, the reporters should not be excluded from hearing it or seeing the testi- mony. To their judgment can be safely left whether it should be printed or not"

GENERALIZATION OF
 THE MONEY POWER.

The report of Secretary MacVeagh of the Treasury Department does not refer directly to the Aldrich project of a great central bank with power to contract or expand the currency and, presumably. to be under the virtual control of the ''money kings. He does. however. say that i've have in sight the establishment of a real and permanent banking and currency sys- tenn that will be both safe and sane" As no project other than the Aldrich Monetary Commission plan is in sight. 1t Is reasonable to assume that he refers to 1t. and there may also be a reasonable assumption that he is ac- it is ready in form for presentation to Congress. Rumor states that Aldrich intends to signalize his retire. ment from Congress by pushing the scheme through at the present ses- sion.
 The national banks will. says Sec retary MacVeagh. remain in any case"-that is. whether or not the re- port of the Aldrich Monetary Commis-
 
 Aldrich bill not be enacted immediate 1y. some things should be provided for at once'. There is. the Secretary says. "a clear need of American banks in foreign countries where American commerce needs banking facilities. He suggests that Con- gress make the national banks com petent to do this foreign business, even though they be restrained. as now, from ''home branch banking. He also suggests that the national banks be allowed to take up trust business" in competition with the trust companies. even as the latter are com petftors with the banks in commercial banking, and that the business of the trust companies b placed" under the supervision and control of the Federal government Of the savings bank business. he says 'it might be very we'll to have a part of it at any rate under the supervision and control of the Federal government. but does not state what part of it or how it would be possible to draw any line of demar- cation.
 With a great central bank in control of the currency volume. with fnterna- tional banking under Federal control through the national banks. with the trust companies also under govern ment supervision. and with "a part of the savings bank business also under Federal control 1t looks very much as if every business of every kind would be at the mercy of the Federal government which could at any time contract both currency and c-adit

At recent complimentary dinner at South Norwalk to Attorney Gen erl Light, he was hailed as a pros pective Governor and U. s. Senator, and by one enthusiast as future President. Possibly. these mentions may not place "a bee in his bonnet" although such is usually the fact in similar cases. MT. Light may. at any rate. take a lesson from the exper.- ence of Ex&Lieut. Gov. Lake as to the possible results of seeking office.

"Y,UaG TURKS" FEAR A
 REACTI]NAkY REVOLUTION
Especial from United Press.

Especial from United PreSS.1
 Constantinople, Dec. 9.-Fearing a reactionary coup, with the reported e tablishment of a military dictator ship as it's object, the minister of war, today, summoned the comman CTS of all garrisons throughout Tur- key and the leading chiefs of police to hasten to Constantinople for a conference on oppressive measures.
 The governments movements are being conducted with the utmost secrecy, which leads to the belief that the reports of widespread reactionary activity have not been exaggerated.
 The danger of a fresh revolution ary outbreak has been made immin- ent by the parliamentary exposures of the Young Turks cruelty to their political enemies. All the reaction ary leaders are under the closest sur veillance by the government and wholesale arrests are expected.

Some years ago. a New Jersey court awarded damages of $1 for the killing of child by traction company, the supporting argument being that the child was a burden to its parents until self-supporting. Last week. a verdict of $500 damages was rendered for the killing of a six-year-old child by an automobile Presumably, in neither case. was there parent in the deciding body.

Many cities are facing the problem of scanty water supplies. The usual Fall rains were conspicuous by their absence, and the ground is now so frozen that either rain or snow water would run off instead of replenishing the underground springs. Under such conditions. reservoirs might fill. but the surplus. if any. would be lost over the spillways.

~ HIPPFRS of Los Angeles will not
"a inactively tolerate the assault on
~ the interests resulting from the

to reason and common sense as well
as to justice and right that any cor
poratlon should be allowed ITO exact

tries in which citizens are engaged.
At San Pedro there is being estab-
lished a warehouse district. Between
the industrial and the warehouse and
shipping district of Greater Los An
geles rates must be so adjusted that
the export trade at its very outset
will not be taxed, while the import
trade, subjected to tariff at the sea-
port, will not be subjected to another
exorbltant tariff on the haul from the
seaport to Los Angeles. The effect on
goods shipped either from or to Great

mate reasonable profit or would make
the articles so dear at market that our

SEES RACE TROUBLE AS
RESULT OF PRIZE FIGHT

PASADENA, Feb. 7.-[Editor Her
adj: Many thoughtful people are Won
dering if the coming Jeffries-Johnson
contest may not only deepen the exist
ing race antipathy between the two
races, but may result in an open con-
hict in different localities if not
throughout the whole nation.
The writer has been studying this
problem for the last forty years, and
from my observation, especially for
the past few years. 1 am forced to the
conclusion that this race antagonism
is growing stronger as the years go by,
and the cause of this can be traced to
the action of the colored race.
The general disposition of our Amer
lean white race is to see and to help
every man get all the enjoyment pos
sible out of life. In other words, we
are a generous, open-hearted people
Yet while this is characteristic of our
people they are quick to resent any
entertainments upon any of their vested
rights, and il persisted in will defend
even to open warfare.
1t is well known fact that wherever
colored people edge themselves into a
residence community occupied by the
white race it not only tends to
greatly depreciate realty values, but
that it lowers the social standing of
the district in the eyes of the COM
munity at large.
You touch the value of mans prop
erty to its hurt and at the same time
ruthlessly tread upon his social sur
roundings and you touch his heart, the
result being that you arouse his ire.
If persisted in, you render him des-
perate, and he will defend his rights
with all the powers of his being.
This seems to be the short-sighted
policy OF many of these colored people.
For illustrations A society of colored
people purchased a lot on a prominent
corner in a residence district in a
beautiful city of Southern California,
and, without as much as by your leave,
proceeded to erect a church building
thereon Result: White residents real
ize that it is but the entering wedge
to mixed community with aforesaid
results. They are thereby rendered al

most desperate and are made the bitter
enemies of a people whom they natur-
ally like to befriend; and who is to

This is but one case in thousands
that are coming to pass the United
States over. Hence the outbreaks and
race chickering's that are continually
happening and will continue to happen
until our government takes this black
bull by the horns and commands q
halt.
1t veritably seems to me that this
race of people is displaying short
sightedness worthy of children of i'm
mature years when they antagonize and
willfully offend the race upon whom
they depend for life's sustenance and
upon whom they must depend for their
moral upbuilding to a great extent.
Too much condemnation cannot be
placed upon the heads of that class of
agents with white skins and black
hearts who for a few paltry dollars
VIII connive at and locate an undesir-
able element of any description in a
community where it is not wanted,
thereby injuring hundreds OF homes
and bringing worry and sorrow upon
the inhabitants thereof. A man who
will be guilty of such a despicable act
is too mean, too low down in the scale
of business and social life for any
recognition, and ought to be relegated
to that oblivion which only exists out
side of human decency.
