Time and again we have been told
that public opinion reflected through
turies, is to blame for the failure to
get verdicts of guilty in criminal pros
ecutions under the Sherman law.

About the tenth of April Donaho

IT was in 1909 that Mr.. L. N. Littauer,
glove manufacturer and former Con-
gressman, exerted influence which
brought heavy increase in the tariff
on gloves. 1t was in 1914 that this
same L. N. Littauer's was detected in
an attempt to smuggle. He would
have the government rob others. He
would not himself be robbed. Or
dinarily detected smuggler need
feel no more humiliation than if he
had been detected in trying to escape
the attentions of an illegal highway
man. But Littauer's case is different.
The exposure shows what he honestly
thinks of the tariff. 1t shows that in
his heart he believes free trade to be
right 1t strengthens the suspicion
that others prominent in faste9,re
protective robbery on the people fee
the same way. Unintentionally he
has cast discredit on the policy o.
protection. His punishment is thus
in the nature of atonement- not for
his ofiense against the law-but for
the real wrong he committed; the
part played by him insecuring imposi-
tion of tariff duties. If the fine he pait
could be used to reimburse the victiml
of the high tariff on gloves the atone
ment would be more satisfactory
