JAIL BEEF TRUST
HEADS--M MARITIME
Jersey Senator Says People
Will Not Stand Another Such
Chicago FiaSCo.
BY JAMES {. MARINE.


United States Senator from New Jersey
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The power
of the Beef Trust. acquired through
wears of contact. corrupt or otherwise.
with public officials is alone re-
sponsible for the recent fiasco in Chi
cago where number of its officials
escaped criminal prosecution.
The whole affair was miscarriage
of justice The temper of the American
people will not swallow another af-
fair of this sort
believe the Beef Trust is the most
Ubiquitous monopoly this country or
any other country has ever seen. 1t
strikes at the very existence of every
man, woman and child from Maine to
Texas and from Florida to Washing
ton. 1t has acquired for itself practi-
cally an absolute monopoly of one of
the great food staples Of the human
race.
Would Jail Officials.
It works countless and undesirable
hardships upon our people by its ex-
tortionate demands If l could pro-
ceed to their prosecution individually,
I would have every official and each
criminally associated employee behind
prison bars. In this thought I express
openly the inner thoughts Of thou
sands of men in this country. repre-
senting all classes of the social order.
The Steel Trust, the Tobacco Trust,
the Standard Oil Company, the Har
vester Trust and the Paper Trust are
all bad enough-worse than those who
nodded the destinies of our nation
could ever have anticipated But none
of them compare with the Beef Trust.
It strikes at mans existence. Food in
this country should be within reach Of
every mans pocketbook.
The Beef Trust has the American
people by the throat, both coming and
going. 1t pays what it chooses to the
producer of the meat animal products.
We have to take them at that price or
do without. ] speak feelingly in these
matters. have had bitter expe-

A VOICE FROM THE WEST.

When the new Congress assemblies the drab
monotony of the House will be empurpled by the
glowing enthusiasm of statesman from the West
who is neither modest dishonest, nor discreet he
will seek no privileges; he will ask for no seat
upon any committee; he will dicker with no fellow
Congressman for a supporting vote.
His name is Kndel he comes from Colorado;
and all that he will ask will be that he should be
heard" And, as he is very large, and pertinacous
and exceedingly vocal, it is more than probable that
this simple wish will be granted. For twenty years,
at least, this Kndel has had his will in the mountain
passes and windy plateaus of the azure West and
they do say there that they have sent him to Wash
ington to enjoy the music of the stars for even
a little space.
BY occupation this George Jefferson Kindel is
a carpet cleaner and maker of pillows and mat
resses In that way at least, he has earned living.
But his avocaon for twenty tireless years has been
that of worrying the railroads" for what he calls the
Equalization of freight rates." and neither bribes,
concessions soothsaying could tear him from that
task
He is tall He has large He has a
glaring eye. He has no sense of humor. He is
never self-conscous. His arynx is tough as
ncke-steel He talks, and talks, and talks. He has
vowed that he will be heard" with no condition of
any kind to qualify the vow, and his advent should
cnven the deliberations of tnat chamber, which has
been none too light since Jerry Simpson said good-by
to the flowers.

snail not collapse before that extremity shall be
necesstated.
There can be no ordinations, no jealousies, no
accusations of neffciency ineffectiveness among
the allies. The glory Of the war will be fairly dis
tributed. Nothing now appears likely to interfere
with their harmonious adhesion to whatever program
of territorial settlement and administrative adjust
ment they mad agreed upon in advance. Every one
of the allies has earned the share assigned to it.
Thus the hand of the allies is strengthened as
against the Turk on one hand, and as against the
possible interference of Austria o nthe other. The
powers seem to be hopelessly deadocked on the
question Of interfering. Neither the pleadngs of
the porte nor the mutterngs of Vienna have
complished more than to make clear that the division
between triple alliance and triple entente so closely
balanced that intervention in force is quite out Of the
question.
We must 60 back to the great Cavour, the states
nanarchitect of united Italy, to find an achievement
in intrigue and diplomacy equal to this OF the Balkan
allies. 1t is useless to indulge hopes that COM
munity Of interests so firmly founded as this which
has driven the Turk from Europe is going to fall to
pieces after its victory is won, or to be crushed out
Of existence by any exterior force. The allies have
laid tine foundations for power that will not be
fouted and dsintegrated by any new Berlin conven-
ton.

WILSON WILL NOT RUN AMUCK.

President-elect Wilson might, If he chose, raise
a fine fuss about the civil establishment Of the Gov
eminent. II he were another kind OF man, and his
Administration we're to be dated back about gene
ration, he might do it, But he will not.
Grover Cleveland was a great civil service re-
former and extended the classified service to include
vast number of positions. He did it by Executive
order, under the general authorization which the
civil service law extended.
When Cleveland had done this, Harrison came
in President, revoked orders thus extending the
classified service, fred out multitude of the place
holders, appointed his own selections for them, and
then capped back the civil service classification
again.
That performance had deal to do with tine de-
feat of Harrison after one term and the return Of
Cleveland to the White House. 1t was a typical
political coup of that generation but would not DC
repeated now by any President. Public opinion
would not submit to it for minute.
There may be all confidence that that sort of
thing will not under Woodrow Wilson. 1t should
not be forgotten that he is and has long been
vice president Of tine Civil Service Reform League.
He has been throughout his career of touch with
public affairs confirmed civil service reformer. The
merit system has had his unqualified Endorsement
scores of times
How small, comparatively, is the number of Gov
ernment positions that the President may fill, out
side the competitive classified service, is set forth
in an article elsewhere in this paper. Something
like 800 places, from Cabinet officers down. may be
changed at the will of the President. The other
$1,000 or $4,000 Government employees in Washing
ton Of their tenure, so far politics
is concerned, they would be if they worked for a
private corporation.

THEREFORE THEY DREAMED.

Tney were to be married shortly and they sat at
dinner under the palms and the soft lights Of the
big dining room and thought the waltz tune of the
band bird" They were young and their travels
had been brief journeyings and in their hearts were
those wonderful bright palaces Of the land of waking
dreams that eacl of can glimpse but once in the
vision of life. There marvellous lawns to those
palaces and clear running water, and they were
sweet under the light that never was on sea or
land" And they sat and talked the glow of those
dreams came into their eyes and made their faces
gentle and their thoughts kindly and in their souls
was the colossal hope and the equal confidence that
only lovers know So, who but fool would jeer at
them for that and who, being not fool, could but
wish them and all lovers long day for their DREAM
ing and stout hearts meet the bufetings of life.
The best of this life after ALL is only dream and the
rest of it is scarce worth the labor that it costs to
garner. Anyhow they were young and soon to be
married

TURKEY CONTRA MUNDUM.

While war experts and statesmen are emtting
much ponderous wisdom over the battles and nego-
tatons that will lead to the final submission of the
Sublime Porte it may not be proftless thing to
grant some Of praise to the fine qualities Of
the Turkish common man fighting unit. The
Turk we know is Mohammedan and the sign of his
Jehovah is sword unsheathed. The Turk stands in
the mind as figure black against the sinking
ready to fight Progress for of the last frontiers
of civilization. The Bulgarian, the Servan, and the
Montenegrn are Christians who worship at the
Cross And it is inevitable that the Turk will be
ultimately driven across the Bosphorus But the
Turkish common soldier is nevertheless frst-class
fighting man, and every European volunteer who
has in other fought side by side with MIN bears
witness to his patience, his cheerful endurance Of
hardshps, and his steady courage.
In the war with Greece one complete regiment
of Turkish infantry-the Mauser brigade composed
altogether of young men, went down in frontal
attack and every last one Of them died fighting in
that engagement. The late G. w. Stevens, the war
correspondent who was with the Turkish army in
that war; said that he had never known soldiers in
the field so courteous, cheerful, and so unfearng
During the Turko-Russian war an Englishman, who
had lived most of his life in Germany, with
Osman Pasha in the siege of Plevna and this man
Arthur-asserted afterward that had Osman been
supported Dy the OFFICIALS oI ToItc us He SnOuu
have been he would have taken the Gar as his cap
tive to Constantnople And Arthur also testified to the
courage and good manners of the Turkish soldier
| even under the strain of siege. And the views of
those men indorsed by number of other writer's
VINO have the Turk in war.
The present war; as we have accustomed ourselves
to think of it, is something of contest between the
powers of civilization and the powers of darkness
| but if we for our part, can nope that one day our
little brown brother of the Philippines will be equal
to republican selfgovernmen is it not reasonable
philosophy to wish that the Turkish people will
emerge from this last experience to larger measure
of democracy and clearer realization of the Spri
of modern life To deny that much is to question
the righteousness of tine present cause of the allies
to concede it is merely to confess our confidence il
the ultimate destiny of humanity. Meantime in tht
interests of proselytzing Christianity and the par
tition of Macedonia by the allies, Turkey must b'
smashed.

MURDERERS IN BUCKRAM.

If the jury trying the gunner accepts all their

The murder required the services of mob, and

THE FALL OF MONASTIR.

Monastr is become the first Sedan of the Balkan
war. The Servan investing force has captured the
city with the Turkish defending army of possibly
$4,000. The event probably will prove quite as i'm
