MEAT BARoNS PARAMOUNT NOW.

eTa HE acquittal of the meat trust barons at Chicago yesterday
was a shock to the public. 1t destroyed the last remaining
hope that the people could get at their oppressors through
the law and put a bride on monopoly greed. The meat trust re-
mains master of the situation the same as the tobacco trust and
Standard Oil and other trusts that have been made all the more
secure in their monopoies by government prosecution. OF what
significance to the people is any further trust prosecution by Mr..
Tafts department of justice? Of what value is the Sherman anti,
trust act as long as its ministers are weak or lukewarm? A few
small tradesmen who should enter into a combination and be prose
cuted would find the law strong enough for their conviction, but
there is paralysis when great trust interests are in question. To
the American public the meat trust is utterly abominable 1t
stands between the cattle-raiser and the consumer and plumbers
both. 1t enters every household and flches its income. 1t steals
the substance of the hard working poor and reduces them to pitful
denials. 1t is the monstrosty Of our age and civilization. Cruel
and remorseless in its power and greed, the meat trust now laughs
at public justice and popular execratiOn. The administration of
the law, not the law itself, has indicated it and made it stronger.

AN APPALLING STRIKE OUTLOOK.

NON Saturday next, unless agreements shall be reached between
w the miners and operators, which now is improbable, work
in the mines will be abandoned and coal production will
cease. In the last great anthracite coal strike the country was
made to realize what a stoppage of the coal supply means. Dur
ing that strike the bituminous field was not affected, and now the
strike movement extends over both fields and involves both the
great mining bodies. England is in the thrOes of a general coal
strike and faces a calamity. A few days hence the people of the
United States may be confronted by the same conditions. There
are other industrial strikes in progress or contemplated that ordi
narlly would be serious, but in the presence of a general coal
strike they will hardly arrest attention. April 1 has an ominous
sound this year. The month will open with unparalleled labor
troubles, and who can fOresee the end?

WHAT IS IT WORTH IN THE END?

NAV HAT are such victories as were won for Taft in New York
WV county and in Indiana yesterday worth in the end? Ap
parently the infatuated men who worked the Taft
steamrolers have not asked themselves that pertinent question.
Apart from the issues involved the American people demand fair
play and are aroused against any exhibition of foul play. Nothing
could be fouler than the methods used in Indiana and New York
Yesterday to force an undesired candidate upon his party. They
violate the national instinct as we'll as threaten the fabric of gov
ernment. And what is there to be gained by this political fouIness?
What, indeed. if it shall eOnsummate its purpose at Chicago but
party disruption and, probably, destruction? In the last analysis
the people have the say. Primaries and conventions may be con
trolled by the small representative class" but there is no such
control Of the polls in the November election, and it is then that
the sentiment, which may be strangled in the primary, comes out
in its STRENGTH.

TIE SLAUGHTER IN THE MINES.

ID 9TH the government and the mining companies are respon.
LID sible for the lack of safety appliances to protect human
life in the coal mines. President White, of the United
Mine Workers, in his address to the public, dwells upon this Grim
inal neglect. In the years from 1887 to 1910 no less than $3.50
Tn-Bere killed and 12,36S injured in the anthracite field. About
5000 men are killed annually in the bhtuminous field. This slaugh
ter goes on indefinitely. Within the period of a few days there
have been two shocking mine disasters. The British coal fields are
much better guarded. Government there enforces regulations for
the safety of the miner. The American miners demand to be heard
in the matter of safety appliances. The employers have always
had the ear of the government at Washington. Shall the miners

FOR AN IMPROVED CENTRE MARKET.

rTa HE passage of the bill in the Legislature looking to the en-
largement of Centre Market insures that long-desired i'm
provement. The present conditions in the market are in
sanitary and incOnvenent. The crowding of people on market
DAYS in the aisles is indecent. With the limited space for stand
owners food cannot be kept free from dust and it has to be exposed
in ways that a health officer would condemn. The market needs
more space and improved accommodations. BY providing room
for new stands, also, enough additional revenue will be obtained
to pay the cost of the proposed changes.

A MEMORIAL TO JOHN F. DRYDEN.

N MEMORIAL bronze statue to the late John F. Dryden, the
~ creator of the great Prudential institution, probably to
stand in the yestibule of one of the imposing office build
ings he erected, is the thought of the thousands of employees of
the company. 1t is possible that the idea will expand and that the
memorial will be more than the afectonate tribute of the Pruden-
tial force, for hundreds of admirers of Mr.. Dryden would like to
Join in such a testimonial. But tt is eminentIy fitting that the man
who accomplished so much for the benefit of the multitude and
contributed so greatly to the welfare of his city should be remem-
bered in enduring bronze.

THE CLOSING LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

oTa HE legislative session has exceeded the limit fixed by the
IL Republican leaders when it began, and it is drawing to a
close amid a confusion of legislation that a lawmaking
body should be free from. That deiberation which such a body
demands cannot be exercised when the calendars are choked with
bills that must be hastily passed, and often by their titles, in
order to effect adjournment, 1t is for a time like this that the
lobbyist is on the watch and when vicious bills are slipped
through. But there will be a sense of relief when the gavel finally
falls and the Legislature stands adjourned.

Praises Stars Stray Dog Campaign.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Many mothers and fathers must be
interested in the stray-dog question
which you have been thrashing out
during the past two weeks, and every
body is waiting for the good results
which must come OF it Considering
the immense danger to which the gen
eral public has been exposed by allow
ing so many dogs to roam about the
streets unguarded, the question just
now is vital.
During the summers of 1910 and 1911
many children we're bitten by dogs
In this city. Hardly a day passed
but the papers had an account of two
or more victims reporting for treat
ment at the City Hospital. 1t has been
wondered why the authorities, who are
paid to safeguard the public health,
have not deemed this question of suf-
fcient Importance to warrant some
drastic action.
There should be a city ordinance
covering this situation, and if there is
not one should be created. The Star
deserves the praises of every parent
in the city for this campaign against
stray dogs and many are watching for
the outcome. T. j. GERG.
