systematic plans OF the government
and set back the whole movement on
the canal very seriously.
Investipatinp Wheat Deals.

The government will have the SYM
patty OF the country in its effort to
break up illegal corners in wheat or
any other grain. Such combinations
have a very direct and intimate rela-
ton to the high cost OF living and
probably form one of the largest fac
tors in this most serious and difficult
problem.
AS the president Of the Chicago
Board Of Trade says, ANY man or
set Of men who buy so much grain
that the price is held out of line or
reach OF buyers may be considered as
acting in restraint of trade" Now,
the government proceeds on the
theory that the conspiracy centering
in Chicago extends to Duluth and
Minneapolis. II so, nothing would
be needed to give It an interstate
character and scope
There is no less harm in the illegal
traffic in wheat than in steel or to-
bacco or coffee, and the average man
who uses a good deal more wheat
than he does of either of the other
commodities will be inclined. to think
that the burden OF offense rests upon
the wheat baron. II is difficult to
conceive of a more general effect in
all the line OF monopoly than that
that comes from the cornering Of one
Of the prime necessities OF life in
every household throughout the land.
On no ground whatever can the com
mon practice of specializing in these
necessities to the extent of cornering
them be justified.
Competition is no more the life Of
trade in steel than It is in wheat, and
not as much in tobacco or coffee, for
when II comes down to real facts,
neither is a necessity. II is to be
hoped that the government meets
with success in its latest undertaking,
formidable as it certainly is.

OMAHA, Nov. 3.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: We voters who have set out to
clean up things political in Omaha must
have a care lest, in our zeal to accom-
plish our laudable purpose. we ourselves
commit a crime against the ballot box.
In the first place we must make sure
when we have a man arrested for Illegal
registration that he has registered
Illegally, and In the second place we must
not attempt to make an honest Judge
stultify himself when one Of these regis
tration cases Is taken before him. am
led to offer this warning by the Anderson
case, which County Judge Leslie was
called upon to hear. No one who heard
the evidence offered left the court room
with the slightest notion that Anderson
had registered Illegally, and certainly
every one was convinced that Judge Les
lie did only his simple duty when he dis
charged him.
But was Anderson guilty, and was
Judge Leslie compelled to discharge him
simply because the state could offer no
sufficient evidence against him? The
facts developed at the hearing speak for
themselves. Anderson keeps a restau-
rant right across the street from the
boarding house from which he registered.
He is a Swede. He Is not married.
The states own witnesses testified that
he had lived for at least five years in the
precinct in which he registered, and that
he had been living at the house from
which he registered. These witnesses
testified, it is true, that they had known
