rRIAL nF THE REEE RARONS.

A FTER years Of delay, during which all the
n technicalitcs OF the law were invoked the
ten millionaire Chicago beef bsrons have been
brought to trial on charge of violating the Shcr
man antitrust law. The last attempt at delay
failed the other day when the Supreme Court re-
fused TO interfere. Not so much trouble was cX-
porienccd in securing jury as was expected
In his opening address the prosecutor represent
ing the government accused the beef barouS Of
criminal conspiracy in restraint Of trade, and
charged indirectly that they were partly rcspon-
sible for the high cost of living.
The importance of the case may be judged by
the fact that the men trial represent nearly one
hundred millions of dollars. The governments at
torney charges that they restricted the production
of dressed meat aud thus created false condition
Of scarcity through which they reaped enormous
profits Their operations were of such magnitude
that they affected practically all the markets of
the world.
1t will be interesting to note the testimony that
the prosecutors will bring out as to the restriction
of products, for it is by such restriction that
trusts violate the natural order Of production, the
natural development of industrial life and thereby
create high prices with their attendant Distress
Defenders of trusts as the legitimate growth of
business, ITS natural development are fond of say
ing that by the great economies" practiced be-
cause OF trust organization, products are cheaper
and the public IS benefited. The normal devel-
opment OF business, the normal development of
industry, brought about by inventions and newer
and improved methods of production should re-
suit IN great increase in products and their con-
sequent cheapening and this would follow under
normal scheme of competition. II could follow
under manufacturing by trusts, but too often the
trusts instead of increasing the product and di.
mlnishing the price restrict the product and en-.
hance the price. That is the great harm done
The packers might contend that the production
OF meat supplies is not similar TO ordinary manu-
featuring IN that the raw material. the cattle is
limited but in view of the frequent contrary state
mens OF the cattle raiSers, this excuse would not
old.

Upon hot July afternoon i'm the

Mr.. Vanderbilt had escorted his

some one recognized the distinguish

the word was passed from one TO an
other that Mr. Nanderbilt's friend was
the lord chief justice of England, John

Lord Coleridges name had become
familiar TO the people of the United

That prosecution IN the early seven

The claimant professed TO be q long
missing heir of the Tichbornc title and

up his story that he induced many of
tho leading men of Great Britain TO

CHOICE OF ME PEOPLE.

@ ENATOR CLAPP is keen TO take advantage
- of political points as they develop and he COM
mented during his address at the Avenue Theatre
on Sunday about the announcement that the Della
ware Senators and Representative Head would
favor the denomination of President Taft, drawing
the inference that the people Of the state would
have little or nothing to say about who should be
named by the Republican party.
Ii by no means follows, however, that if these
three should favor the denomination of the Presi-
dent they would be misrepresenting the views OF a
large majority of the Republican voters OF the
state. At present it may be that the two Senators
and the Congressman are for Taft, but conditions
may arise before the time of the convention which
would cause them to change their opinions This,
however, is improbable
Be all this as it may, there is no substantial rea-
son why the Republicans of the state should not
have opportunity to express their preferences
to the Presidential nomination if they desire.
We do not presume that there is any inclination on
the part of the Senators or the Congressman to
msrepresent the views of a majority of the Re-
publican voters of the state

ONE CHRISTMAS LESSON.

ID those vso o arc more unfortunate than 'sS you
This is the time of good cheer of optimism and
it is the time when those in suffering or distress
should be remembered 1t is a time for doing
good, and almost everyone can help. The pur
chase of rcd cross stamp is a mite towards aid
ing one of our greatest philanthropic movements.
Let every one be unselhsh in the enjoyment OF
the Christmas season
UnsefshnesS is one of the best OF traits, but we
are bound up entirely too much with our own at
fairs We think little Of Others Sehshness,
lack of proper consideration for others, is at the
root of most of the evil in the world Men love their
case, and seek personal qualification.
The Christmas season IS particularly a season
for the consideration of unselhshness. 1t herads
the birth of the great Teacher of unselhshness.
Greed in business, in the massng of wealth in
which the rights of others are forgotten, is vio
lation of the principle of unselhshness Most OF
the great industrial problems which now confront
the country are due TO selhshneSs. The trckeries
and Misrepresentation OF trade are prompted by
human greed and selfshness
The world, of course, has made progress to-
wards higher conceptions of life. Men are more
altruistic but their progress is slow. One has onv
TO read the pages OF history and to compare life
today with life of long ago to realize the great
progress. Think of the philanthropic movements
OF today and compare their results with the man
ner of treating the oppressed and the lowy Of
long ago and no man can be pessimist Pessim-
ism in fact is form of selfshness.
The Christmas season is time for taking a
broader view Of life and the .broadest life and the
most satisfactory life is the unselhsh lfc-the de-
voting of part of ones time and ones riches to
the welfare of ones fellows
The political economists of the old days based
all their so-callcd science the principle that sell
hshness is the chief and almost the only factor in
life in industry, but the newer school has dis
oarded that idea and places more Importance on
the altruistic factor which, TO an increasing de-
gree, is becoming an important force.

Rules promulgated by the Inter
State Commerce Commission which
will go into effect January /, requir-
ing all trip passes to be signed by the
persons to whom they are issued as
we'll as by the conductors lifting them,
will bring about a number of changes
in the regulation of passes ON tho
Pennsylvania Railroad
Instead Of being required TO apply
for trip passes, all retired employees
will be given ANNALS according 10
tho class under which they were re-
tired.
Many of the pensioners will receive
what Is known as Keystone passes,
which entitled them TO free transpor-
tation on all lines. The same pass
will be issued to employees holding
prominent positions with the COM
pany. It is issued by General Man
ager S. c. Long, countersigned by his
chief clerk and is good for all the
lines east of Pittsbufg and Erie. with
the exception of the West Jersey and

The company has adopted a set Of
rules governing the issuance of pass
es, they being given only to pensioned
employees who were entitled to an
nual passes at the time Of their re-
tirement, and to the heads of the de-
partments. For instance, men en-
titled to trip passes before retirement
will hereafter get ANIMALS, if they
have been in the service long enough,
while those having passes over the
division will, when retired. receive a
pass over the general superintendents

toward Mr. Vanderbilt, who listened
intently rarely saying word. The
presumption was that the two men
were talking about matters Of national
or international interest
Some years later / happened To- mem
tiOn TO the late Charles G. Clarke, who
for many years was vice president of
the New York Central and the most
intimate business friend Mr. Wander
blt had. the incident of that after
noon at Concy Island.
Were you there then2' Mr. Clarke
asked, And did You see Mr. Wander
bilt and Lord Coleridge chatting?'
Mr.. Vanderbilt afterward told me. 50
continued Mr.. Clarke, that It was the
most extraordinary experience he ever
had. He said that he had taken Lord
COlcridge to ride behind his fastest
team Of horses in the morning, and
had asked him after luncheon if he
would not like TO spend an hour at the
seaside. Lord Coleridge with delight
accepted the invitation.
After they were seated on the hotel
piazza. Mr. Vanderbilt told me, and
when he was preparing to point out
various objects, Lord Coleridge be-
gan to tell a story II related TO a very
prominent Euglishman II was told in
low tone Of voice, but with very re-
markable facial expression. Mr. Van
derblt said, so remarkable that he
thought that this great lawyer and
statesman would have been eminent as
an actor had he chosen that profess
sion.
Before Mr. Vanderbilt could say a
word after the anecdote was finished,
Lord Coleridge began another, speak
ing in the same low tone of voice That
anecdote finished, he began another,
and for more than an hour this great
intellect told anecdote after anecdote,
all of them centering upon some inn
portant event or some of the great
men of England. II was Mr.. Wander
bilt said, like an anecdOtal lecture
and it was apparent that had not an
engagement made it necessary for him
/ SO say to Lord Coleridge that they
would have to return to the city, this
! anecdote telling might have kept us
possibly till midnight.

SENATOR DUPONT LEADS
PARCELS POST FIGHT

That there is now an excellent
chance for the passage oi a liberal
parcels post ibill by Congress. ostab-
fishing the system gradually all over
the country, is indicated in the am
nounccment that Senators from Del
aware, Pennsylvania, and nearby
states are going to start movement
i'm the Senate, shortly after the holi-
day recess. looking TO immediate ac-
tion on one of the bills now pending
in Congress.
The Senators who are going TO
work diligently for the passage of a
bill that will establish a parcels post
system without DELAY. are Senators
DUPONT. Of Delaware; Penrose. of
Pennsylvania; Briggs and Maritime,
Of New Jersey. and the Senator'S
from New York and Maryland.
A Washington special to the Phila-
delphia Inquirer in this connection
says:
Senator DUPONT. the senior Senator
OF Delaware, has been one Of the most
earnest advocates Of parcels post
system for many years. He believed
NiAul 4 UdlAtil NbHA ~ cAini III VI iAiE
n reduction in the cost of living and
that there should be no delay in es-
lablishing tho service. He had advo-
Gated this reform repeatedly even urg-
ing that it be given precedence over
reciprocity at the extra session a
Congress.
There is no reason for party dis
sensions over this measure said
Senator dupont today. "and l believe
that the bill will be voted for by men
of both parties in an Overwhelming
majority. II is my belief that after
years of waiting we are to have n
parcels post system within very
short period. | believe the bill will
go through at the present session"
The movement set on foot today is
likely to brng order out of chaos with
reference to parcels post legislation
which has been hanging FIRE for many
months In spite Of all appeals for
immediate action. Congress has delay
ed action The group Of Senators I'm

now determined TO fight for immedi-
