GAMBLERS IN FOOD.

Nearly one hundred United States
District Attorneys have been in
structed by Attorney General Nc
: Reynolds to investigate and report
upon the operations of 1.-THE alleged
cold-storage combine" There are
thousands of states attorneys who
should have been at work In this
field long ago.
The cold-storage combine is some
thing more than an allegation. 1t Is
the biggest gamble of the day. 1t Is
the "sure-thing" bet that SPECTATORS
make against the vital needs Of the
people.
Forestalling and engrossing, as the
operations of the cOld-storace people
would have been described several
centuries ago, was a crime. Men
who held back the peoples food for
gain wer criminals and were, punish
ca as such. In every part of the
United States where the common law
prevails it is still a crime. IN many
States where statutory law Has dis
placed the common law 1t is even
more specifically a crime.
The cold-storage inventions are
not public blessings. They are pub
lie afflictions. They preserve food
but they increase prices. When food
is abundant and should be cheap,
they corner it.. When the markets
are bare, they supply the demand
sparingly at exorbitant rates.
Yet there is no monopolistic enter
prise in this trust-ridden land more
easy OF regulation than storage and
all the processes Of storage. There
is not a state, or a county that can
not defeat the whole conspiracy.
Laws as old as civilization run
against it. There is not an honest
court in Christendom that will not,
on application, enforce them.
Why investigate an outrage that
affllcts every home and blights ev-
cry table? These gamblers In food
are more notorious than those who
risk money at cards or on horses. 1t
is action that they fear; not inves-

combined have a vote OF about 500 or
20 per cent Of the total vote. II the
new administration is to have its
full measure Of success 1t must have
the cooperation and good will OF the
property owners and the larger part
Of the citizens. This can only be the
case II the two dominant parties are
placed in charge of the affairs of the
city. If these parties had not put up
good, reliable and qualified men to
fill these places they could not with
good grace make this claim. But there
can be no good reason ADVANCED why
the nominees of the Republican and
Democratic parties should not be
recognized.
These assertions are not being
put forth merely as political reasons.
There are good business reasons why
this should be done. There are big
business problems to solve for the
city and the commissioners will need
the hearty cooperation of all the
leading citizens and property owners.
II by a political deal, or trick, one
Of these dominant parties should be
thrust aside without representations
OF. the Board OF Affairs; the, board
elected cannot expect the support
and good will Of those who have been
practically DISTINGUISHED by such a
deal. 1t would seem that the BUSH
ness people of the city will see this,
and act accordingly. OF course it
might be possible for N dominant
party by combining its strength with
one OF the lesser parties to elect a
candidate or candidates Of the lesser
Earty, but such a possibility is very
remote. The reward would scarce
ly be worth the desperate chance of
trying such a scheme. But even
should such a thing be possible what
advantage, from a political stand
point would it be to the dominate
party which makes such Il deal pos
sible? Will it find any issues more
in m with its own policies
than the principles OF the other DOM
inant, party?'
The voters of Tairmont will certain
~ not mar the good work they have
already commenced by an attempt to
put over any trivial political deals
for partisan reasons. The further
the city government is removed from
%partisanism the better it will be for
everybody.
