Wicked Retailers.

The average retailer is a bad
bad mani 1t is all his fault that
living has increased in cost more
than II per cent during the last
year, and secretary ofagriculture
isgoing to prove it by cold figures.
The secretary is also going to
absolve the tariff trusts from all
blame in connection with the in
creased cost OF living.
"Uncle Jim" has been assiged
to report as above indicated.
If in his investigation he is un-
able to put the blame on some
one or some thing other than
protection, there will be no
report. You may remember that
Senators Aldrich, Flint and
Smoot convicted the retailers
when the tariff bill was under
discussion. Now the secretary
of agriculture must come through
with some figures to bear out
their theory.-Albuq. Trib. Citi-

The Bisbee Review gives an
interesting account Of an in
formal fstic alteration be-
tween the editor of the Doug
las Dispatch and an alderman
of that town. The editor,
strange as it may appear, had
been esponsing the cause of
prohibition, and made COM
ment at which the councilman,
who is a saloon keeper, took
offense. In summing up the
damages inflicted the editor
is said to be carrying about
a pair of beautiful blackened
optics and split lip to show
for his part of the affair." All
this sets us TO wondering on
what hypothesis the pen, in its
last analysis as it we're, was

"Meanwhile, it strikes US
that this Antitrust league,
which proposes a boycott to
smash the trust, should pro-
duce it's evidence that there is
a trust. Any ignoramus can
veil trust and call on the
crowd to smash the butchers
windows. But that is not the
way to proceed. Let this
Antitrust league turn over
its proofs to the government
(if it has any worth mention
ing), and Mr.. Wickersham
will do the rest
1t should be needless to
state that the above sentiment
is expressed by a stand pat
paper. Without dwelling on
the merits or dement's of the
plan recently launched by con-
sumers to force down the price
of stable commodities we will
take issue with our worthy
contemporary on the proceed
ure suggested to remedy the
condition about which there
is general and bitter com
plaint. Some methods by
which it is sought to obtain
relief from oppression Of what
ever character may be decried,
but SO long as the policy of
tolerance and procrastination
is the attitude of our admin
istrations in dealing with those
who arbitrarily fix prices to
yield tremendous revenues, so
long will people employ such
measures as will best expedite
the accomplishment of their
purpose. Cheating ones
stomach to live within ones
means is a costly antidote for
high prices; but the plan thus
prescibed has the merit of be-
ing the most available and
readily effective one. Neither
Mr.. Wickersham's accomplish
ment nor those of his recent
predecessors have been such
as to inspire people to expect
prompt or effective action in
their behalf. Convictions of
big nalefactors that require
years to secure, only to be
overturned by higher courts
are not calculated to cause
confidence in the ability of the
Attorney General TO do the

Roosevelt AS Speaker.

The future of Mr. Roosevelt in
the politics OF the country con-
tinues to concern many people.
The latest suggestion is that he
be elected to congress this fall
from the Oyster Bay district,
and by the house elected speaker.
This proposal comes from gentle
men who are opposed to speaker
Cannon and to his arbitrary
ways, and the suggestion has
the merit of humor, at least,
when the temperamental char
acteristics of the two men are
considered. To exchange the
tyrannical gavel of Mr.. Cannon
for the famous big stick might
leave the insurgents in worse
plight than before.-Ariz. Repub.
