"BIG FIVE" PACKERS ARE
TO BE PROSECUTED

Washington, Aug. 6.-Anti-trust
suits against the great meat packing
firms were announced today by At
torney General Palmer as the first
concrete development of the govern
ment's plan to reduce the high cost
of living.
Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and
Cudahay, who have been pictured in
the Investigations Of the federal trade
commission and before congressional
committees as a great combination in
control of food products, are to be
hailed again before the federal courts
by special prosecutors.
The evidence in hand, Attorney
General Palmer declared, indicated
"a clear violation of the antitrust
laws"
Whether the prosecutions would be
civil or criminal the attorney general
declined to state. merely recalling
that the law provided for both.
The history of all the government s
antitrust prosecutions in the past
anti-trust prosecutions in twenty-five
years does not show single individ-
ual ever serving Jail sentence for
a violation. There are evidences that
the government hopes. for some in
the present campaign.
While he was announcing prosecu-
lions Of the packers, Attorney Gener-
al Palmer was unleashing his spec
ial agents on country wide trail of
profiteering and food BOARDING. These
prosecutions come under the food
control law.

THE GATHERING CLOUD

AT THE beginning of 1915 long series of demands
was made on China by the Japanese Among them were
extensions of the lease Port Arthur and Dalny

The effect of these leases were to transfer to japan

the beginning of 1915 (when this happened they
still interested in something else They had been
fighting each other for four months
So the Japanese took hold. But all that they ac-I
qred then is insignificant compared with their present
demands The effect of them forces China to employ
Japanese advisers in political financial and military af
fairs ito establish police departments in important places
IN China to be jointly administered by the Chinese and
Japanese governments to purchase from Japan fixed
amount of munitions of and to give Japan the right
of constructing railways connecting the cities of WI

We may say that it amounts to prOtectOrate over
all China And it only falls short of annexation because
annexation must of necessity be gradual A country

GREATEST RECEPTION IN CHIcA
COS HISTORY.

From more than a half-page story
in the Chicago American of the arrival
of the "Old Eighth" in Chicago we
extract the following:
The gallant BLACK Devils of the
"Ole Eighth burst into town this
morning under the burden of their
medals and were swallowed up in a
wild maelstrom of welcome that
swirled from the LaSalle street sta
ton to the Coliseum, ever growing in
power and proportions until it got far
and away beyond police control and
became a great, good-natured riot of
cheer. Traffic was paralyzed; the
neighborhood was crushed in the
grasp of the happy people.
The solid stone walls of the Coli
scum seemed to bulge with the weight
of the throng that jammed its way

plague expectorating on the streets
and endangering the lives of the COM
monwealth?
Are you willing to leave the future
of the deaf and dumb into the hands
of others?
Do you feel that provisions should
be made for the care of our feeble
minded who do not deserve to be sent
to an asylum?
Do you think that a commission
supported by the state for the pur-
pose of investigating all conditions
pertaining to the Negro and whose
duties will be to report their findings
with recommendations to the legisla-
ture-I say, do you believe this sort
of commission should be created? Do
you think this would be a more def
mite and progressive manner of find
ing out our needs and asking for bet
ter legislation concerning the same?
If what call to your attention you
find expedient, l then command you
to appoint yourself a committee of
one to see or write your senator or
representative, and ! also advise you
to call public meetings, adopting reso-
lutions and petition the Honorable
Senators and Representatives to aid

From $4,000 to 10000 men, women
and children came off successful in
that first titanic crush. They were
the ones who got inside. The esti-
mate of numbers was made by C. R.
Hall, superintendent of the Coliseum
Company-an authority on crowds.
Crowds Stop All Traffic.
But that wasn't a caution to what
was going on outside. In the blocks
adjacent to the Coliseum there were
wedged in from wall to wall from
10000 to $4,000 deliriously happy
blacks, according to estimates The
street cars ceased to run. The police
gave up trying to clear a path for
them. And what was the use? They
were only bringing new thousands OF
merrymakers to swell the jam.
From all parts of Chicago came
squads of police. Chief Garrity hur.

RACE LOYALTY.

On last Sunday l heard Mr. Shilla.
day, secretary of the National Asso.
citation for the Advancement of Col.
ored People, before the Forum of
Kansas City, Kansas, in which he
said: The liberties of one group
cannot be entrusted to the care of
another group. The Negro will never
have rights and privileges until he
himself wants, works and fights for
them. He believes legally, constitu-
tionally and intelligently that he must
fight, not by arms, but by fighting
through the intelligence of the Amer
lean people"
On last evening l heard the Hon
orable Nelson c. Crews in a most dra.
matte speech state as follows: "No
man can be made satisfied and con.
tented who sits by and sees another
man enjoy things to which he is en-
titled and cannot himself enjoy"
A few weeks ago a committee of
Negro citizens appeared before the
judiciary committee of the lower
house of the legislature, led by Prof.
R. l.. Logan, and protested vigorously
against the "Jimcrow' bill, which had
been offered in that body. They
waited until midnight and the earnest
appeals of those who spoke resulted
in the bill being thrown out of the
committee.
There has been introduced in the
state senate several bills which will
be of untold benefit to the people and
the state as a whole. Those that have
been engrossed and have come to me
in print are as follows:
Senate Bill No. 45O appropriating
$150,O0O for the establishment of a
/ home for incorrigible boys.
Senate Bill No. 44S appropriating
100000 for the purpose of establish
ing a home for the Negro blind, deaf,
dumb, feebleminded and tubercular.
Senate Bill No. 495 to create the
office of Negro deputy superintend,
ent of public schools.
Senate Bill No. 449 to legalize the
Negro industrial commission, created
| by Governor Frederick d. Gardner
Purpose: To make the Negro people
of Missouri self-supporting and a
greater economic asset to the state
and to improve their educational, in.
dustrial and moral condition.
Senate Bill No. 461 against mob
violence, which will penalize and i'm
prison the violators and endow the
dependents to the sum of $4,000.
l now ask this question: Are the
expressions of Mr.. Shilladay and Mr.
Crews your sentiments?
l want to add that in this state
there are already established mode
institutions for the purpose of taking
care of the white citizens who come
under the class of penal and eleem
osinary subjects. And the white peo
pie in a larger sense are free from
mob violence-but what about the
Negro?
Are you satisfied with the condi
tions of the rural schools?
Are you satisfied with seeing tn
blind begging on the streets?
Are you satisfied with seeing tn
hopeless victims of the great whit
