RADIO. 1.-The man who steals millions
is Just as much criminal as the
man who steals a loaf of bread.
That's the new and startling doctrine
laid down by President Wilson when
he directed the attorney general of
the United States to proceed against

sophistry that corporations do not
possess bodies or souls. Under the
new dispensation the well-nurtured
bodies and the starved souls of the
men who profit from the operations
of lawless combines will feel the
whip of the laws displeasure.
There was nothing spectacular
about the Presidents epoch-making
order-no beating of tom-toms or

the administration enemies alter
nately fumed and sneered the presi-
dent held to his course in the Mexican
imbroglio and finally Huerta did go.

a moment that the President intends
to make an example of the mighty
men of the houses of Morgan and
Rockefeller, who looted the New
Haven. and If possible place them
behind the bars.
