DESIGNING rHE PAckERs.

There is good reason of course for Attorney General Palmer to be elated over the adjustment of the contention of the government to the effect that the packers were violators of the Sher- man antitrust law. without being forced to a trial. In view of the fact that an agreement has been reached the objects of the government are sat- isfied and in accord with the terms the five big packers will divest themselves of all packing interests except meat, dairy products and condensed milk. The other interests must be disposed of and in such action the others will be doing what Swift & Co. have been engaged in for the past two years.
 The plan for the ending of the mo- nopoly is much the same as has been followed in the case of Standard Oil and the tobacco trust. It will still be necessary for the consumer to be SUD- piled with goods of the character pre- viously handled by these packers but they will have to be broken up into separate concerns instead of being un- der close control. It is a surrender to the demands of the department of jus tice but in surrender ng without a fight it must be regarded by the pack CTS as being agreeable to them
 The action is looked upon as ore of the greatest blows at the high cost oi living but that is something that can best be determined by time. It will be possible to determine whether suct control as these packers have gained and the efficient basis upon which they have been doing business opor- ated to the increasing of living costs
 while it was giving them profits ol
 whether through the elimination O
 waste and the we'll organized system
 the buyers were really getting tht benefit of lower prices made possible l by efficiency. The breaking up of tht
 monopolies it is to be hoped will hav'
 the effect that is desired but it may
 only be the repetition of previous ex ! perienceS.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The reason perhaps that the deliv- cry of the railroads to the rightful owners will be delayed is because the government has made such mess of matters that it dare not.-Meriden Journal.
 Prof Henry W. Farnam reminds the undergraduate student body that
 the music of Bright College Years" is not of imperial German origin. Objection to it on that score thus 1 falls to the ground. If we are not mistaken, God Save the King," and America" derive their music from German sources.-New Haven Jour- nal- Courier.
 Some people spend practically all
 their lives in obscurity and then suddenly achieve the notoriety they
 crave-in lieu of the distinction they
 cannot win-by some act of absurdi-

TRoLLEYs OR JiTNEYs.

Salem, Mass. apparently doesn't be- lieve in profting by theNexperience of others in tho matter of determining whether trolley service is preferable to iitney service but desires to work out it's own problem in it's own way. Regardless of the way in which To- ledo busted the trolleys and then cried till it got them back and the trou- ble which has been experienced in the neighboring city of Lawrence, Salem has not been hastened into making a decision busting the jitneys.
 The situation in Salem is similar to that in other cities throughout the country where trolley roads are ex- periencing serious losses because of the jituey competition It had gotten to the point. as il Lawrence, where the trustees of the electric road noti- fled the city that unless the jitney licenses were revoked that trolley service would be suspended. Failing tc act ih compliance with what might ordinarily be considered the higt handed demands Of the trolley trus- l tees the city of Salem is without electrics. So far as taking action is coDcerned the refusal to revoke the l licenses would indicate that prefer ehce was given to the jitneys but il | has come at an unfortunate time fol 1 those depending upon transportati ton | but at perhops a fortunate time ir another respect. for being forced tc walk because of the inadequate ser. vice that the augmented jitneys coult give in this zero weather is bound tt make them realize the worth of thu trolleys.
 The stopping of the trolley servie, would indicate the final decision O the Salem city authorities, and thos
 of Peabody and Beverly which are al
 so included in that system, but tn
 real decision it is believed will res with the people when thev roali7
 what they have been deprived of. I is mistake as many co.AAadA.t.e
 have found to believe that the jitney
 can take the place of the trolleys.

yet no plan has been workd out for Armenia. which should never be over looked or neglected in the scheme for breaking up the Turkish empire and the freeing of subject people who have too long suffered horribly, but it does seem to be clearly indicated that the allied nations have determined to make Turkey of the future a mere semblance of the Turkey of the past, and as Turkey might as well under stand there is, no one to blame for it but Turkey and the way in which it has been governing that part of the world.
