this.

ances, which, however, include a
very dignified and independent
statement by the Chilean authorities.
The American government addressed
the government of Chile some time
ago, expressing the hope that Chile
would exert her influence to prevent
hostilities between Peru and H,livia.
The note was couched in such terms
that the Chilean government took Of
Tense. Interpreting it as an attempt
on the part of the United States t o
dictate the course of Chile. The
United States has disavowed such
intention, and Chile accepts the ex-
PLANTATION. taking occasion, however,
to declare her purpose to submit tt
no dictation from anyone
Among the presidential develop
ments of the eek is the appearance
OF Herbert Hoover as a declared can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president. The first note
worthy mention of Mr., Hoover as a
presidential candidate was made by
the New York World some weeks
ago in an article which declared for
Hoover as a Republican; a Democrat
or an independent candidate. For
some time the party affiliations of
Mr.. Hoover remained shrouded in
mystery. but, while disclaiming any
intention Of being a candidate, he
stated hat he had been a Progress
sive Republican before the<war, that
he had remained free from PARTISAN
ship during the war, and that he con-
sidered himself a Republican, though
he was as much opposed to the reac-
tionary element in the Republican
party as to the radical element among
the Democrats. Recently he has ex-
pressed willingness to accept tho
nomination on a progressive platform
il there exists a desire for his candi-
dacy, and his name will appear on
the California ballots together with
that Of Senator Johnson.

THE BERGDoIL CASE

Is. this 4 rich mans country, and
was the late war a rich mans var?
We have been told so a great many
times. Mr.. Townley and others have
told us that the sons of the poor were
being sent abroad to fight the rich
mems battles, and the insinuation, II
not the direct 'statement-~was made
hat the sons of the rich were shown
special fav~>s in being exempted from
service or in being stationed in safe
places. .
Down in Philadelphia a young man
named Grover Cleveland Bergdoll
sought to evade the draft. He was
the son of a family Of great wealth.
He succeeded for a time in evading
officers who had been sen in search
of him. He "a found hiding in a
window seat in his mothers house
and was taken into custody. Steps
were taken for his trial before a mill
tary court. His attorneys-and he had
some expensive ones-objected. On
the ground that the war was over,
and on such other grounds as thep
could think Of. they maintained that
the military court had no jurisdiction,
and that the, young Stacker should be
tried if at all, before the civil courts.
The case dragged along for consid-
cradle time, but all the objections
were finally overruled. and the young
man was placed on trial before the
same sort of court that would have
tried the case of the poorest and most
obscure soldier. He was given exact
ly the same opportunity that any 9TH
er man would have had to defend
himself, just that, and no more, and
the other day he was convicted and
sentenced to five years Imprisonment,
and to Acknowledgement.
The only thing that this fellows
millions could do for hjpN was to de-
lay. for a short time, his actual trial.
That was possible because he was
able to employ skilled counsel and to
pay the cost of legal proceedings
which would have been beyond the
poor man, except in an exceptional
case. But delay was all, and after
both civil and military courts have
had the case under consideration, this
child of wealth must receive the pun
ishment OF a felon, another case in
which the lie is given to the assertion
that this is a rich mans country.

Jump in quick and well tell you the

tines
Cameron's' startled gake turned on
Ruth now, and a great wonder and
delight sprang upine his eyes. 1t was
like the day when he went away on
the train, only more so. and it
brought a, rich flush into sRuth's
cheeks. AS she felt the hot waves
she was glad that, she was sitting be-
hind the light.

Ruth casting a n anxious glance to-

! His hand went out to the door ITO
open it, the wonder still shining in
his face, when a low murmur like a
growl went up behind him.
Ruth looked up,.and there in the

HOOVER AND THE PACKERS

1t is interesting to compare the
statements made concerning the pack
ing industry by the chairman OF the
federal trade commission from, time
to time and the statements made Con-
corning the same industry by Herbert
Hoover in his confidential report to
The president. which has Just been
made public. s
The commisson has never been able
to rid itself ST the notion that because
the profits of the packing concerns
in the aggregate were large. they must
necessarily be too large. The ratio
OF net earnings to volume Of business
has been entirely ignored. The COM
mission has at no time attempted to
show that the profits made by the
packers on each dollars worth of bus
mess transacted were greater than
reported by the companies, or greater
than they should have been. Instead
OF facts bearing on this highly import
ant feature Of the ca.se the commits
sion has presented in varying forms
the comb inations the gross amount of
profits made, and because these fig
1res were large. as they must be il
there Is to be any appreciate rate Of
profit whatever on the yast volume
OF business transacted, the public has
been subjected to a series OF ATTEMPTS
to shock and thrill it into the convic-
ton that something enormously op-
pressive and corrupt vas aoing on.
Mr.. Hoover made his Independent
investigation at the request OF the
president. and submitted his findings.
He paid no attention to o profits.
He did not even discuss the question
Of rates Of profit, evidently because
ne found in the existing facts nothing
meriting criticism. He found no fault
with the packing companies because
they were large. He dido not charge
that they had used any improper
methods. He did declare that III his
opinion the ssize OF the, greater conn
nanies. and the large proportion Of
the trade which they handled placed
them in q position where they could
exercise an influence detrimentaJ 10
the independent trade, to the produc.
ers y their raw material, and i ihe
general public.
There IS . vast difference between.
the commission point 81 view and tho
Hoover point OF view.
