KEEPING THE SWAG.
Public discontent with I hi* re
sults of civil proceedings against
combinations and trusts rests!
chiefly upon the manner in which
the decrees of courts have been
executed. The judgments against
Tobacco and Oil were impressive. |
They condemned not only the mo
nopolisie devictes that were clear
ly in violation of law hut the I
commercial practices adopted in
pursuit of them. They were ver- ■
diets of guilty as truly as though ;
the prosecution had been for j
crime. j
j II13 iimmir .1 inr-i i ii< « '
Pacific merger may described m
1 lie same way. Although a civil
ease, it was in fact a conviction
of crime. The penalty, as in To
bacco and Oil, was dissolution
and the forced sale of property
unlafully acquired and held, j
To arrange for this transaction,]
representatives of the Department i
of Justice and of the Uarriman j
railroads are now urging upon ]
fbo court two plans, varying only j
in a slight degree, for its sane- j
lion.
It is noticeable I hat both sides]
have taken into consideration!
ways and means of marketing the
Union Pacific holdings that will
not result in loss to anybody, and i
that this phase of the matter has j
been duly presented to the court, j
We cannot believe that il will re- j
reive attention.
The problem involves nothing
hut the disposition of plunder. All
these stocks and bonds were un
lawfully accumulated. They have
been unlawfully used. Those who
deliberately violated the law in
acquiring them have made colos
sal fortunes by the process. \\ hen
justice sets the seal of its disap
proval upon such enterprises, why
should it he asked by favoring
rules'to soften the force of its
judgments ?
Tobacco, oil and I'nioii Pacific
did not become gigantic lawbreak
ers without inflicting loss and
hardship upon many innocent
people. There.was no one to
plead for the business ami es
tates of these persons when they
were in peril. Why should there
now lie any olTicia! or judicial
notice of the possible embarrass
ments nf great offenders whose
possessions are tainted.
EDITORIAL MOTES.
Tile Japanese Diet is about to
convene for I lie purpose of im
peaching Hi" cabinet. It is a poor
diet for even a Japanese cabinet.
No garlands are being woven
for the personnel of I lie Turkish
navy, the women of the country
being occupied in calling them
cowards.
The lime may come some day
when the large interests will he
dealt the same quality of law as
is now meted out to the ordinary
offenders.
When Barbara Wylie gels a
taste of a Canadian jail she will
have more respect for "provincial
laws” than she has for those of
t he mot her count ry.
During the fourteen days ulti
matum the Turks will have time
to meditate on what might have
happened had they not stirred up
those pesky little, nations.
The Greeks have discovered
that by dint of tiring the Turks
have improved .in their marks
manship, one shot having acci
dentally hit a Greek cruiser.
When Rockefeller advised the
school teacher to save her pen
nies he probably had in mind the
great help it would be to him if
others would get the pennies for
himjn gather.
It would seem that those sen
ators who ask the president to
recommend the purchase of td\e
Alaska Northern railway would at
least await the report of the Alas
ka railroad commission.
Of course it is rather a diffi
cult matter for us to pass upon
the quality of the work done by
the Yiddish strike breaking edit
ors. Wo might pass judgment,
however, if we saw them at work
with both hands.
Secretary Fisher should not ov
erlook any of his associates.
There may be something in Alas
ka which the Standard Oil com
pany would not be averse to ac
cepting. and possibly, too, with
a little dourer on the side for Mr.
Fisher.
II is noticeable that the people
of Seattle know bow |o squeal
loud and long when they are made
the subjects of extortionate
charges, while their silence is
equally noticeable when they are
overcharging others. With them
it is not a question of principle,
but rat her one of profit.
II is all wrong to accuse Hie
shipping interests of the coast
with having entered a combine
regarding rates. The similarity
of their larill' sheets is due en
tirely |o coincidence, tlentlcmen
in the coastwise trade couldn't be
persuaded In lake from the peo
ple more Ilian they can gel.
The Wyoming legislature
shows their Republican proclivi
ties in the year MU i by quar
reling among themselves. Willi
the temporary speaker hurled
from liis chair onto his head and
another member kicked in the
stomach, we can glean one of the
reasons why Taft carried but two
stales.
It may not he amiss to call the
attention of readers to the fact
that the proceeds of the firemen’s
hall is lo he devoted to a public
purpose of tin' utmost importance
to us all, hence in being liberal
with lhe boys we are, after all,
hut helping ourselves. The wise
citizen will mil confine himself In
the purchase of a single ticket.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
<(Facts Are Facts.”
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it, a few times with your meals and you’ll find we re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, becajuse of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
