CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS.

Ninety men out of every hundred will agree that
corporations a whole grasping, eager to take
advantage of the individual afflicted with species
of dishonesty. But the real truth is, just among
ourselves that the corporation is the scapegoa for
the dishonesty of many individuals
This is concretely illustrated in report just
made by the New York Railways Company, accom-
panying its introduction of system of transfers.
The report shows that owning to the universal prac-
bee Of beating" the street car company by abusing
die transfer system formerly in the average
fare Of each passenger reduced to 3.4 cents,
which did not leave the company sufficient margin to
make needed extensions and keep the property in
shape
he details of how thousands of people and
scores OF stores employing errand boys deliberately
set about to beat" the street company is seri
Gus reflection upon the honesty of the average citizen
1t is known fact that where street corporations
have changed from the system of the conductor
taking up fares after passengers enter cars to the
"pay-asyou-enter" system the increase in revenue
has been 10 to Is per cent
Many people who would resent as an insult the
direct charge that they dishonest, and who would,
if on jury, soak" a corporation on general prin-
cples, consider it the proper thing to avoid paying
their carfare whenever they can.
In the last analysis corporate greed and dis
honesty is only individual greed and dishonesty in
the aggregate. stream cannot rise higher than its
source

that in making appropriations for public affairs
Legislators neglect the unfortunates who most in
need Of parental government
The only scandal about conditions locally is the
scandal of Congress- refusal to appropriate funds
enough to provide hospital accommodations that are
sanitary and humane. The faithfuness and sacrifice
Of physicians and attendants appears to be the one
bright light in the picture
Surely the budding Of sane and insane, crimi-
mails and little children, persons afflicted with con-
tagious diseases and those who are not, into dark
unclean rooms; denying the sick the right Of Gods
sunshine and pure air. not to mention proper nurs-
ing because of the physical limitations of the at
tendants, will appeal to Congress!

THE NEW CRISIS IN MEAT.

The Beef trust looks to be certain grist for the
mills that grind slowly but exceedingly fine.
Its claim that scarcity of live stock furnishes
the legitimate reason for the unparalleled price of
meats is ridded by Government figures and the in
evitabe conclusion is forced upon the country that
the packing interests deliberately pundering the
consumers.
Congress reflects this sentiment by indicating its
intention Of probing the packing combine deeper than
ever before, while the Department of Justice lets be
known that the defeat it met in its last bout with the
Beef trust acted spur to further activity in getting
case that will hold
The issue is Of vital importance. Stated in
stereoyped phrase it is purely question of whether
the people shall control monopolies or monopoes
control and exploit the people. The verdict may be
delayed but there Is doubt that il will be render
ed in favor of the people ultimately.
The inexplicable thing about it is that men of
the intellect and acumen necessary to direct such
an organization the packing house combine can
not see that to delay justice and ignore common
rights will only compound their final punishment.
Certainly the fresh evidence of intense public
sentiment against them, and the renewed deermina-
ton of all departments of the Government to force
the fighting should convince them of the good
business" of being equitable in their dealings with
the public.
to the ptful nefhcacy of the present antitrust leg
islation. The Standard Oil Company was dissolved"
and both its stocks and its products went skyhoot-
ing in price. Who was benefited? Nobody but the
trust shareholders. Who was injured? Everybody
else.
The Tobacco trust was "dissolved" The dis
solution" was such a good thns for the defeated"
and dissolved trust that its shares advanced in val
ue an aggregate of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
The beef combination was prosecuted, but could
not be convicted. Immediately the trial ended prices
began rising. They have reached wartime levels,
and the gullibe public is asked to believe that the
law of supply and demand is doing it. Then The
Times exposed the fact that the increase in prices
was COINCIDENT WITH A HUGE ADVANCE IN
RECEIPTS OF LIVE STOCK.
If the present antitrust law is Of any use, its
administration under the Taft Administration is GER
tainly getting the good out of it. Every time the
Taft people bust" trust the trust proceeds merry
to swell itself bigger profits than ever. When
the Taft Administration fails to "bust" its trust, the
same thing happens 1t seems to be case of "heads
win tails you lose" with the people always getting
tails

LENDING DEATH ANOTHER TERROR.

There would be no obvious connection between
the price of oats and the King of Terrors except for
the fact that in beginning last pilgrimage it is
usual to ride as far as the cemetery. For this link
in the journey the Boston lverymen threaten to in
crease the fare. Of course, it is only few gasps
from the high price Of living to the increased cost
of dying but those who looked upon Nirvana as
happy escape hardly expected the Stablekeepers'
Association to take the initiative in defeating this
welcome release. They have added pang to ar
ticulo mortis-if we may drop into the easy Boston
vernacuar-by declaring that the expense of main-
tanning business has increased 10 per cent and they
are forced to recoup themselves on the funeral pro-
cession
1t has accordingly been decreed that certain
zones shall be established with the cemeteries as
the central point and that the charges for carriage
hire shall be regulated according to the distance to
the burial ground of which the corpse may make
choice. The unfortunate who faters himself, as his
eyes glaze and his pulses fail that he is about to
escape the tyranny of the butcher, the baker, and
the candestck maker may even regret the step
or, properly speaking the ride-he is about to
take.
Optimists will predict that this new exacton
will result in the restoration of healthy equilibrium
Instead of weakly seeking refuge under the willows
from the greed of the beef barons, the despairins
will give careful thought to their regimen and offer
lively resistance to the last of foes. If this move
ment on the part of the stabekeepers should spread
it may become the part of thrift for such aling
to move closer to the cemetery to reduce the
ride to the minimum. Even those who have con.
Rrmed taste for travel will have full opportunity after
the obsequies, without regard to the stabIekeepers
But best of all, they will more probably abide here
on the sunny side of life long as possible, and
fight it out with the buccaneers of the meat market
and the banditt of cold storage.

The opening chapter of the hearings before the

THE PUBLIC PAYS.

In many respects the walters strike in New
York is proving novelty, but in the terms OF settle
men it will follow the well-beaten path of precedents
established in the settlement of nearly every indus
trial difference, namely, the public will be asked to
foot the bill.
Hotel proprietors have substantiated the revela-
ton, first given to the world by the striking walters,
that not only did public tips pay the walters, but the
walters in turn had to divide the tips with several
other classes of employees with the net result that
the hotel cafe owner secured his help at cost
to him. The patrons simply paid for all help, and
then paid the manager for the esteemed privilege of
being served by the help.
1t is announced by the hotel proprietors that
they will pay the walters $50 month and relieve
them of the responsibility of "dvvyng' with
other help. This is very LIBERAL say the hotel men,
ain view of what the waiter will get in tips"
That is to say in settling coal strikes and
other differences in the wage world, it is mutually
agreed by the contending parties that neither of them
will take their hands out of the pockets of the public
And the public, being the most concerned, has the
least to say.

1rmer American and Canadian offers,

the Bulgarian army had crossed the

heavy outside support. The continent
was bidding freely for & on pass
age. Later there was realizing from
the extreme advance, the fact that the
war news was not confirmed and the
advance brought out no particular de-
mand for forward shipments. At 1880
p. m. the market was excited and 1-2c
to 5-Sc higher than yesterday. Corn
unchanged to lie higher with the
strength in plate and later this grade
further advanced lac. This advance
was the result of an over sold condi-
ton with a better inquiry for spot and
also cargoes. Arrivals are smaller and

pressed regarding the political sit
