ARE CRIMINALLY GUILTY.

The Sherman antitrust law is both a civil
and criminal statute. Therefore the govern
ment has not fulfilled it's obligation to the
American people in obtaining from the supreme
court decisions ordering the dissolution of the
oil and tobacco trusts. It should proceed to
punish them for their wanton conspiracy to
destroy competition and ruin those who dared
to oppose them.
The immunity which John d. Rockefeller
and his coterie Of lawbreakers and James g.
Duke and his have already enjoyed is a ma
tional reproach They have committed offenses
which, if separately prosecuted and punished
by accumulative sentences would send them to
prison for life We shall now see whether
the attorney general and his subordmates m
tend to 60 after them.
There can be no question OF the personal
responsibility Of the individuals for the criminal
acts of the corporations in which they have
been interested. John D. Rockefeller's ridicu-
lous plea that he retired from active business
more than ten years ago is not worthy OF con
sideration, and neither are the silly eXplana-
tons made by other industrial magnates of
their intentions in the formation of combina-
tions which they knew were specifically for
tons which they knew were specifically for
If an ordinary criminal is caught operating
a fraud through the mails, the government
does not allow him to go on his way after
breaking up his game. 1t sends him to Jail
as lesson for others inclined to commit sim
liar crimes.
Likewise, the big criminals should be called
to account under the law that makes their
guilt matter of easy determination and pro-
vides severe punishment.
We do not mean to detract from the praise
which is due the attorney general for his civil
prosecution of the oil and tobacco trusts, but
we urge him to go father and show the
country that the government is not frightened
at it's own success, but will enforce the law in
its full power.

The business firms found by the state board

At this evenings performance at

but will repeat the Russian dances,
as a great number were unable to

The st. Julians made a decided

The battleship Texas was used

THE WOOL SCHEDULE

The Democrats of the House, with twenty
four Republican representatives, have passed
the bill reducing the duty wool and manu-
features thereof by more than half.
We note that Representative Stephens of the
Los Angeles district in that state, although
elected as a Republican, helped by his vote to
do Democratic politics, which will probably not
be found a good way to get votes from the
wool-growing and manufacturing states for the
retention of the duty of l IL cents pound ON
lemons.
While the Democrats retained duty of 90
per cent on raw wool, some of them gave fair
notice that they were opposed to any duty
whatever which, it is understood, the Democrats
will entirely cut out if they get full con
troll of the government.
What will happen to this bill in the Senate is
as vet uncertain. There is possibility that
the stalwart Senators will adopt the plan indi-
Gated by some of them in joining with the Dem
ocrats in a general reduction in all schedules
on the theory that if one interest, or some in
terests, are to be deprived of protection, all
other interests must take the same medicine.
This is hardly likely. Senator's upon refec-
ton, will probably leave that job to the suffer
ing constituencies which pretty sure to I'M
dertake it.
The House Democrats do not expect the wool
bill to pass the Senate nor do they desire that
it should They are playing politics, and moth
ing more and they left half the duty on raw
wool in order not to scare the constituencies too
badly. They have gone just as far as they con-
sidered it good politics to go at this particular
time.
If party advantage and national welfare, be
considered the chief end of government, no one
can deny to the Democratic party leaders the
credit of some of the most brilliant political
tactics which this country has ever seen.
The Democrats did not need the twenty-four
insurgent votes to pass their BILL but they did
need them very badly to increase the democrat
izaton in the Republican ranks and by not
going too far in the direction of free trade they
captured the bunch
One notes that they did not get any Repub-
lican votes from Massachusetts or Rhode Islam
although they might have got them all by pro-
posing free raw wool and leaving wooden man
ufacturers alone There is a good deal of in
surgency" in New England, but not of the
brand which reduce the duties products com
peting with New England mills.
We find that breed in the northern Missis-
sppi valley, California and elsewhere Repre-
sentative Kent of the Second California dis
trict is not recorded as voting for reducing the
wool duties He might not have been present.
There are good many sheep in his district.
All this is good democratic politics. But
democratic politics is just now what is making
the United States Of America the only spot III
the civilized world where business is not active
and unemployment at its minimum. But if
the American people like it, that settles the
matter

CRIME IN AMERICA.

The prevalence of crime is now engaging
public attention and many criminologists are
offering their theories and remedies, but crime
goes on If an American were told that in this
country life is less safe from murderous as
sault than in any other civilized country in the
world, he would probably refuse to believe
the statement. Yet we cannot escape the truth
of the comparison.
Police records show that in the United States
there are lis murders every year for every
million of population In Italy, home of the
Malta, the "Black Hand and the Camorra
the rate is only los. In Germany it is only 10
in France 10, and in Great Britain q. These
figures tell us that human life is not as well
protected here as in Italy, and that it is not
one-ninth as secure as in Germany, nor one
fifth as safe as in Great Britain.
Many reasons have been offered, but all
of them have seemed to fail to explain the sit
uation The cause, we thing is to be found
in the Indifferent attitude which the Amer
public assumes toward crime and it's prevention,
in the failure to exert the powers which would
surely bring about dminuton of homicide.
were they applied with the proper severity and
determination.
manifestation of this indifference is the
popular patience toward the lax enforcement
of the law. There is too much maudln senti-
ment bestowed upon criminals Lawyers and
courts make too much of the laws techniealities
and use the statute as a shield to protect rather
than weapon to punish the lawless
