Where the English

Great Britain has refused to pur-
chase from the beef trust any sup
plies while the officers of the trust
are under indictment and are being
tried for violating the laws. To Great
Britain we are thankful for this action.
The ultimate consumer of America
Is powerless. however, and must pro-
cure from the trust the meats which
are consumed. The prohibitive tariff

reality. they have violated the laws.
1t appears in most every department
where big business" violates the laws
of this country and where the com

may be traced to the abominable pro-

on beef the South American countries

the railroad right of way picking up
poor people and putting them in jail,
charging them with train riding ana
vagrancy. The result of this Is that
the tax payers are burdened with the
tremendous expense of maintaining
these birds of prey, and receiving no
benefit from it.
Today there are a great many white
men and boys in jail, put there, just
in this way. These men and boys are
guilty of no crime but that OF being
poor, and this they cannot help Many
of them will no doubt be started on a
career of crime by just such abuses as
are now being perpetrated upon them
in the name of the law.
If these poor men were Migrants

I am informed that Senator Stokes
twice passed a bill in one branch of the
legislature to repeal this SOC called

failed of passage in the other branch.
I trust that next time, his efforts will
meet with success. His is a bill on be-

Many Others Are
Less Fortunate Than You.

Had it occurred to you how fortu-
nate you are in having much of this
worlds goods to be thankful for? II
not you only have to look around you
to find others who are in less fortunate
surroundings. Especially is this ap-
parent at Christmas time when you
think of some people who have very
little to make them happy.
There are hundreds of persons
many of whom you do not know--who
would feel so very grateful for many
articles which are of no value to you.
This may include articles of clothing,
useful things around the house which
you have replaced with better ones, or
the toys and playthings that the chill
use
Do not think for a moment because
you are not rich that you cannot sup
ply some persons with something at
Christmas time without the expendi-
ture of money. You can make many
happy by giving to them things which
you do not want.
The Salvation Army people are in
touch with the classes which need
assistance. The women of this organi-
cation probably can tell you where
there are toyless homes and where
there are little fellows who might be
better clothed with some of the cloth
ms your children have outgrown.
Other cities are making many of the
poorer people happy by giving as
sistance at Christmas time, and the
plan is such a very desirable one that
