PALMER ANSWERS
CHARGE FAV0R|T|SM
Says Government Secured
More in Settlement Than
Could Have Gained
BY PROSECUTING PACKERS

Washington, Jan. More was &C
complished through the governments
settlement of it's antitrust proceed
1ngs against the five big Chicago
meat packers than could have result
ed from a court decision adverse to
the packers, Atty. General Palmer
told the agricultural committee
today. He appeared there by invita-
tion of the committee in connection
with its consideration of what leg
islation is yet required for the meat
packing industry
The Government, the Attorney
General declared, surrendered no
rights to a further prosecution of the
packers, eliminated the packers from
the conduct of industries not direct
ly related to meat packing and does
not at present contemplate further
proceedings, either civil or criminal
as 1.-The cases against them have
been won"
There were sharp interchanges be-
tween Mr.. Palmer and committee
members during his appearance.
The Suggestions of Senator Norris,
Republican, Nebraska, the criminal
counts against packers, past and
prospective, had been forgiven" by
the agreement brought flat denial.
Senator France, Republican, Mary
land. intimated that by bringing civil
and not criminal proceedings against
the packers the Department of JUS
tice had Laid itself open to the
charge of ailing to prosecute multi
millionaires while its agents had
been spying upon members of labor
anions and mankfng summary ar
rests
ct doe snot lay in the mouth of
,, any man high or low to say that the
Attorney General of the United
States. is a prospector of persons
retorted Mr. Palmer his ire plainly
aroused. He added that he had
brought civil complaints against the
| packers exactly as he had brought
| civil complaints against the miners
| union during the recent coal strike.
Commenting upon the general eff
/ ects of the agreement Mr.. Palme~
| said he saw no hope of immediate
| lowering of food prices by reason OF
it
s'There is much weight in the ar
| gument that these large concerns Sc
cure greater efficiency and conse-
quent lowering of costs he comment
ed. "But if so it is the efficiency OF
! autocracy. We shall have to depend
i on gaining results in this direction
from the competition between the
smaller units and if they are not OBJ
tanned then our whole theory of eff
; ficiency gained by democratic com
petition is wrong
Recountng for the first time tbs
immediate history of the prosecutio.

. said that while a Chicago Crane

worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Study OF Manlind-1.

According to the newspapers the
high brow ladies OF a western city
have organized a club for the study
of Man
These wise danes, it appears, hold
that the reason that women have so
little luck in capturing husbands now
adays, and so much trouble in keeping
them, even after they are corralled
in the matrimonial fold, is because
woman has never made a scientific
study of man.
So they are going to delve into the
mysteries of the mighty masculine in
tellect, and attempt to classify. and
diagram, and explain the why and
wherefore of the peculiarities of the
masculine character.
We may well wish these intrepid
explorers success in their undertaking.
and trust that their findings will be
of profit to the balance Of their sex.
Certainly they have their work cut
out for them. for the mind of man
works in a strange, mysterious way its
wonders to perform, especially when
the performance has to do with man S
relationship to woman. <a-s.,,-s
But as a matter of fact. the idea
of woman studying the psychology of
man is no new thing. In an unsc1en-
tific and amateurish and in a purely
personal and practical way the study
of man has been woman's principal
occupa ton, and business. and source
of livelihood eyer since the days of the
Garden of Eden. And whether she
supped on bread and butter or cakes
and ale, and whether she wore para
disc plumes in her hat or last year.
birds nest on her head. has depended
on how cleverly she mastered her sub
! ject, and what working information
she obtained.
Yet, in spite OF the thousands upon
thousands of years of intensive study
| that women have put in upon the sub
! ject of man. they are still in the kin
! dereafeen class, and cannot even yet
| hazard reasonably sure guess about
what man really likes or dislikes in
women, or what his ideal of feminine
| perfection is, or even what code of
! conduct he desires a woman to pursue.
| For mems theories and their per-
| formances, where women are con-
way and act another and hence wo-
man never knows whether to aim at
! a mans head, his heart. or his fancy.
! Suppose a girl desires to dress to
please men, for instance. What shall
she wear?
All men are practically unit for
national dress for women. Listen to
men talk and with one voice they de-
pIore the time, and money, and energy
that creatures with immortal souls
| spend in adjoining their bodies.
! 1t shocks them that women should
follow every fool fashion. They are
scandalized at the thinness of wo-
mems bodies where three layers OF
chiffon are supposed to do duty for
a waist. and Mortified at the shOrtness
of their skirts. Their idea of truly
admirable dress for a woman is some
thing thick and warm, that comes
up high in the neck and is long in the
skirts. and that is loose. and comfort
Fable and durable and economical and
that is accompanied by roomy, flat
heeled shoes.

So far as Germany is concerned, the
acts charged against William were
not, at the time of their commission,
crimes, either within the Jurisdiction
Of Germany or within that of any of
the other countries of Europe. He is
charged as a criminal, not by a treaty
between Holland and the allies, but
by Article 227 of the Versailles treaty
between the allies and Germany.
Thus, under established principles
of international law. however repug-
nant either the personal or construc-
tive acts of the kaiser may be against
the moral sense of the society of ma
lions, including Holland herself. there
is no moral or legal obligation upon
the ypart of Holland to deliver up to
the allies, or to any of them, the for

An eastern banking house suggests
that outstanding war securities issued
by the government be refunded by the
issue of 1O0-year bonds, bearing in
terest of 8 per cent. Such a course
would carry a measure of justice to the
100000 persons who subscribed to
the war loans which carried an inter-
est rate below that of other gilt-edged
securities such as municipal bonds, for
instance. The proposed new bonds
probably would restore the outstand-
ing issues to par. They would also
place the war burden on future gen
erations. At per cent the bonds
would be worth no more as an income
producer than per cent was worth
before the war.

HOLLAND AND WILHELM.

An editorial article appearing in the
Minneapolis Tribune seeks to prove
that Holland, in refusing to surrender
the former kaiser to the allies, Is en-
tirely within her rights and is fully
justified by International law. 1t is
pointed out that the laws and customs
of all nations have always afforded to
criminals certain rights of refuge
from prosecution. whether threatened
by personal enemies or by the SOW
ereign state itself.
Continuing, the Tribune says:
The modern law of extradition is
only an adaptation OF the ancient
right of asylum. Where no extradi-
ton treaty exists between two nations
there is no moral or legal obligation
upon either to deliver up to the other
criminal charged with any crime.
however heinons, and under an extra
dition treaty between two sovereign ma
tions there is only that obligation for
deliverance of the fugitive from justice
which is expressly provided in the
treaty and. IL delivered, the criminal
can be tried only for the crime speci-
fled in the requisition for deliverance.
Moreover, such crime must be one
committed after the inception of the
treaty obligation; and 1t must be d
nahum prohibitum under the statutes
of the demanding country enacted be-
fore the time of the offense charged.
Among all nations. Independent of
treaty or local statutory law, the prin-
ciple Is recognized and enforced. that
there is no moral or legal obligation
TO extradite any fugitive who is
charged with a crime which. in the
Judgment of the country of asylum.
Is OF the class of political crimes -
such as those Of insurrectionary plots
and violence, those % rebellion and
revolution. and other offences of a
political nature. even tho accompan-
led by acts which. under the law OF
the complaining nation, would amount
TO treason or murder.
These established principles of right
OF sanctuary to fugitives from justice
as between nations. are significant in
connection with the demand of the al
lied powers OF Europe upon Holland
to give up the person of Wilhelm
Hoheuzollern' TO trial and punishment
for the offenses charged against him
by Article 227 of the Treaty of Yer
sailles Holland was not a party tC
that treaty. Some of the offenses
charged against william were prohib-
fled by the provisions OF The Hague
conference of 1899 and confirmed by
later conference of 1907. but Germany
ceased to be bound by that conference
seven years after its date. or before
amy OF the offenses charged in the in
dictment OF the allied powers.
Moreover. before the Versailles
treaty. including the indictment of th'
kaiser in Article 227. was written. VIII

There has been no treaty of extra ditioI
