Surely it is a relief to find q
concern that looks at the racing
game from the standpoint of
humanity rather than at the
money return. For some time
past makers of the Mitchell car
have absolutely tabooed racing.
Not because their cars are not
fast and substantial, for the re.
cords prove the contrary. They
feel that no amount of racing
glory can compensate for the
loss of life or serious injury,
that 90 frequently results. The

Washington Letter.

lie the beef trust bigger than
the United States government
Made bold by its victory, at.
ter a nine years delay in the
courts, in the famous trust
busting" suit started against it
by former president Roosevelt,
this trust has boosted meat
prices to the highest figure ever
known in this country, not even
excepting war times. The trust
gives a "shortage in the supply
of live stock" az it's reason for
this increase in prices.
That this excuse is only a
subterfuge is shown by the last
report OF the COVE r m e n t
bureau of statistics. which
shows that instead of a oh ,rt.
age in the live stock supply,
there has been a steady increase
"The supply of cattle that
reached the seven principal
western markets in April was
greater than in any April of the
last decade" the report says.
1.-The number of cattle shipped
to Chicago last month was 10
per cent greater than for the
same month last year. and 40
per cent greater than for April
of 1910. There was a proper
tionate increase in the supply
of hogs and sheep, also, and
that the quality of these ami.
mails was fully up to the stand
ard of former years is indicated
that the supply of dressed meat
now on hand in the packers
warehouses is greatly IN excess
of the amount held there last
year."
This report shows that the
beef trust has made up it's mind
to force the consumer to pay
the cost of the nine years suit
it has just won. All the big
fees paid out to lawyers for
keeping the packers out of the
penitentiary will be taken from
the pockets of the consumers
Nothing must interfere with
the trusts dividends!
A subcommittee of the Judi.
ciary committee of the Demo.
cratic House of Representatives
has begun an investigation of
the beef trust, and it's report
will be an answer to the ques
ton as to whether the beef bar.
ons are more powerful than the
United States government.

Almost simultaneous with
the charges made in Congress
by Congressman Nelson that
the Department of Agriculture

discovery, at Philadelphia, that
$4,000 pounds of embalmed
beef had been put aboard the
United States Cruiser Prairie,
which was about to proceed to
Cuban waters to help quell the
new revolution in that country.
This tainted food was detect

consignment of meat. The nav.
