WHICu Is TuE MIGuTIEsr?

Whether the sugar interests or the govern
mont is The most powerful in America seems to
be debatabc question, It is absurd that It
should be- too For the government has lust
demonstrated it's power to take men from their
peaceful pursuits and ship them TO foreign land
to stop the bullets OF enemy This was for
the protection OF the citizenship in the mass
That government had the right to do this--has
such right at all times-is no longer "A dobatablc
matter, But with the unlimited power to do
that why is 1t that 1t is lacking in power to pro-
tect its citizens In the mass against the criminal
practices OF commercial combiuations such as
the sugar interests?
That the power vests in government 10 do this
must be conceded. Then why not the Jealous
disposition to do it2 Is II because the yicisst-
tudes of "a presidential year ana the ambitions OF
certain memhers of the administration induce
those members TO play fast and loose with the
people? We can only surmise, and tho logical
surwise leaves an ugly tnste in ones mouth
Mr., Figg, the gentIemanIy and garrulous mem
ber of the attorney generals sta6, appears as
an authority on the theory of lower prices but is
incapable of making his theory work He met

But. under another Washington date line that
