 TRUST OFFICIALS
Bill Will Be Introduced 10 Amend Sherman Antitrust
 Law.
TW0TO TEN YEARS SENTENCE
Measure Will Probably Be Passed By Democratic House When IL
 Is Introduced

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington. Felon's stripes" as punishment for trust criminals iu the United States to end commercial piracy under the benevolent rules of reason" are proposed in bill amending the Sherman antitrust law drafted by Representative Henry of Texas. to be introduced in the house upon the opening of congress next month. It's introduction probably will mean it's passage in the house.
 The bill specifically defines just what constitutes a trust, legislates out of the present statute the rule of reason" as interpreted by the su- preme court in the Standard oil and tobacco decisions, and provides pun ishment for violation of the law im- prisonment from two to ten years. It will be referred to the judiciary com mittee of the house for deliberation.
 Representative Henry, who has been conferring with Representative Clayton of Alabama, chairman of tho judiciary committee and other Demo- cratic leaders. completed the draft of the proposed changes in the much discussed law.
 In explaining his bill, MT. Henry declared that actual Imprisonment of great industrial offenders was essen tial to cure for the trust evil, and that law to be rigid must of neces- sity define a trust, so as to leave no room for controversy.

DECAYED SAUCE BEING BARRED.

The State Pure Food Department
has been doing some very active work
along the line of a~dulterated ketchup
for the past few months. The com
missioner has compelled the manufac-
turers, some Of them among the very
best known and most wildly adver-
tised, to withdraw their ketchup from
the state. Two full carloads were
removed from the wholesale houses
at Aberdeen and several carloads and
smaller shipments have been removed
from various other wholesale houses
in the state. These firms purchased
the ketchup with the understanding
that it complied with the pure food
laws, but on analysis it was found to
contain a large amount of rotten ma
terial. DR.. Cook, the pure food COM
missioner, has insisted that only good,
clean ketchup shall be shipped into
the state. The result is that our own
WuOIeSdi6 houses lOCdUSu Ill JHe state
are now stocked up with good, clean
ketchup.
The ketchup being shipped into the
state by outside wholesale houses is
not so good, however. Fully half of
them are shipping in rotten ketchup
so highly spiced as to cover up any
odor or taste of decomposition. The
commissioner is now compelling vari-
Gus wholesalers to remove such ketch-
up from the shelves of the retailers
and take it from the state, or such
ketchup will be seized by an order
from the court.
In spite of ample warning, many
of the small manufacturers, and some
of the large ones, have not properly
sorted their tomatoes. but used filthy,
rotten stock. Others have used the
refuse from canning tables with no

Let Uncle Sam Do It."

Postmaster General Hitchcock's
offer of $4,000 in subsidy for steam
ers carrying mail via the Panama
canal did not bring a bid. Not much
of a predicament and n easily got
out of. Let Uncle Sam do it.
If a man had to have a house and
no contractors bid on the job he'd
build it himself, wouldn't he? Why
not have the navy carry the Panama
mail?
When not acquiring b~arnacles in
harbor, the navy is out exercising its
self anyway, and a little practice on
running through that canal would be
good, even as a war measure, to say
nothing OF delivery of that mail
Whenever there are no competitive
bids on necessary national enter
prises the solution always is Let
Uncle Sam do it." (St. Paul Daily
News, December 13th.)

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

The new court house in Brookings
is beginning to loom up in fine shape.
AS it nears completion the people of
this county can see what they are
getting for the 100000 in bonds they
voted at the last election, and We be.
lieve they will all be glad they voted
for them and proud of the building
when it is completed, for it is certain
ly will be, not only a beautiful build
ing, but the offices and vaults are so
arranged that it will be convenient for
the officers to do business, and will be
a pleasure for the people of the county
to visit their court house. Better still,
when the valuable books, records and
papers are placed in the vaults they
will be safe from destruction from
fire.
The interior of the building is to
be decorated and furnished with new
furniture and will be ready for oc-
cupancy about the first Of April.
When the rubbish is all cleaned away
and the grounds leveled and put in
good order there will not be a finer
looking county court property in any
county in the state and the people Of
Brookings county should be well salts
fed in securing such a complete build
ing for $780, 600, and are certainly I'M
der obligations to the contractor for
doing his work so satisfactorily

The only fault we find with the

plies the American people must have
a leader to lead them into the light.
Why? No leader ever yet accom-
plished anything for the people I'M

pie behind him. Moses never led the

long as we wait for a leader we
will continue to be slaves to corporate

trusts are a natural sequence in the
march of evolution and all attempts
to smash" coax" or dissolve

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards Of $4,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton OF becoming settlers in that coun-
try. or this number about 1870, 900
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. IL will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure OF
Canadian wheat. oats, barley and fax
grown on the rich prairie OF Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more. and year by year the tide
OF immigrants TO the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as IT
Is but they did not look for SO large an
immigration from the old countries.
