DESTROYING TRUST EVIDENCE.

Springfield Republican,: The United
States Steel corporation has won an ap-
peal in an injunction proceeding brought
to restrain II from burning books which
might be used as evidence. What objec-
ton could an honest corporation have to
an injunction OF that kind?
81. Louis Republic! A federal judge
has refused to issue an Injunction against
the steel trust to prevent II from burn
ing the remainder of the evidence. His
reason for denying the Injunction was
that no evidence was produced showing
any such intention on the part Of the
TRUST. The burning OF documentary evil
dence last October may be in itself no
proof OF what the trust contemplates i0
the future. but 1t certainly affords a
basis for a r ''ghty good guess.
Washington star: There appears to be
no doubt that the papers were actually
destroyed or that the destruction was
ordered by some person more or less in
authority In the corporation. But whether
the employe who put them into the furnace
had his orders from those who were in
terested in covering the records OF trans
actions in order to defeat the ends of
justice Is a matter now for determination.
The incident may not prove OF vital I'M
portance In the present connection. but
II will serve TO illustrate the difficulty
OF the regulation Of corporations. As long
as the government lacks perfect access

Food for Prisoners

The fuss that is being made over
the food served TO the prisoners at
the county Jail IL a continuation Of
the scandal that has prevailed in
Douglas county for many years. The
Bee has persistently fought the prac-
tiee OF feeding to the social derelicts
temporarily confined in the county
Jail for the purpose Of making a
profit A few years ago this paper
uEearthed a very munificent graft
enjoyed by the sheriff. At that time
the county board shifted the respon-
sibility from the sheriff to private
individuals. This operated only to
change the current OF the graft, and
did not stop the scandal The pres
ent hnllabaloo is not so much because
the prisoners are not getting proper
food as because the contract 'or
feeding them was let to two repub-
leans at the time when the demo-
cratic sheriff wanted II for himself,
OF one of bis supporters. No matter
what sort Of fare Is provided. some
one can easily be found to make
complaint sufficient to give par

The California Primary.

Women OF California evidently did
not ask the franchise purely as an
ornament. They outvoted the men
In numbers in proportion to the regis
trations at the presidential preference
primary. or them Il may not be said,
Women refuse to vote when per-
mitted." II would be OF additional
interest to know how Independently
OF their men folks views they voted.
But. then. the results, democratic as
well as republican, seem to indicate
very little disparity in views. The
distinction OF being the first women
TO vote. indirectly. on the presidency
belongs to California women.
Roosevelt's victory is hardly to be
wondered at In view OF California's
political trend In the last two years.
The Roosevelt forces had put in their
hardest ticks to build up u formidable
organization and they we're urged on
by the persistent effort OF Senator La
Toilette. In person. and President
Taft. through friends. to capture the
national convention delegation. The
Roosevelt stronghold, OF course, GEN.
tered about Los Angeles, yet the
colonel carried San Francisco by a
small margin. Here is something in
teresting. for the correspondent of
as strong a Roosevelt organ as the
Chicago Tribune last fall wrote to
his paper that There are not enough
anti-Taft men in San Francisco to
man an election booth" Evidently
he forgot to count the women.
Champ Clark's 3-to-l victory over
Wilson indicates that MIR. Hearst
holds the democrats Of his native
state In the hollow OF his hand, Just
as he intimated. 1t would naturally
seem that a state with so much
Roosevelt sentiment in It, might have
more Wilson votes, yet Roosevelt
and Clark trotted pretty evenly in
California This throws the scales
very far in favor Of Champ Clark and
adds to the growing improbability Of
Wilson'S nomination 1T Baltimore.

The ROYAL Straphanger.

The people of Denmark have had
much cause for pride in their rulers.
The simplicity of sturdy manhood has
penetrated the armor OF royalty. both
in the life of the late King Frederick
VIII and his illustrious father and
predecessor, Christian TX. They lived
near their people. ruled well and left
noble examples to inspire, not only
Denmark, but other European ma
lions. 1t is regrettable that We in
America seem to await the death Of
such men 10 get our best view, to
learn most of them.
King Frederick, who has Just
passed away. died as democratically
as he had lived. And while it was not
his to elect the manner Of his death.
undoubtedly he would have chosen no
greater ostentation at the last. Pass
ing along the street OF foreign city.
ineognito, he falls stricken with what
proves to be his fatal illness, is car
ried to an ordinary hospital and dies
unattended and unknown to any
about him, while his good wife, I'M
conscious OF what has happened,
awaits his coming at hotel. Dramas
and romances have been weayed
a hauf 1aaa nrnata human Intaraas Faa
lures. 1t is an impressive lesson to
leave a sturdy race.
II is said that as a prince In the
royal house of Denmark, the young
man used 10 go to and fro from his
university and home in the street
cars and take his place at hanging on
the straps when the seats were all
occupied. No doubt, many times be
arose to let woman be seated. or an
elderly man, or, perhaps, a crippled
child. II is so seldom the world
finds royalty leaning heavily for sup
port upon a street car strap that 1t
has to pause even at the recalling Of
such an incident and pay It's respect
to the man. But this royal strap
hanger was democratic by birth and
tradition, and he never lost his place
In the ranks Of the common people by
being exalted TO throne. His father
and mother had reared large family
and when his sire was appointed king
of Denmark the family continued TO
live within the circle described by
their former station and resources,
practicing old-fashioned frugality and
Industry.
What a fine thing II would be for
royalty. II now and then a break In
the line OF kingly succession might
come, as II did in the case OF Chris
tian's exaltation, that would make II
necessary to 20 out and get q king
from among the men nearer the yeo-
many, even though they. too, might
have a dash of royalty in their veins.
