The Jonee'Wilfox br
parry, eighteen in nump
npvnt a part of VVednedl
night at tbe Coffer H
ha ving arrived over the J
liiskfl tnrtimke at ..11.ua a
very light tax per head of
cattle on the big p a c k i 11 u
house, itnugh it amounts
to a totle of urmut 2,0(j0.
000 to pay. the full force of
inspectors. Of course the
disclosure of the disguesting
methods in 1 he Chicago pack
ing Iwuises and the unspenka
le filth an I horror of t h e
whole businesH raise 1 a storm
of poplar indignation. The
packing interests up to date
liave not dared to fight l he
hill in the open. Hut t h e
know that popular storms
are usually short lived in pro
portion to their violence and
it is almost a certainty that
if the packers can hold off a
tion on the bill and get a
"oil m and dispassionate
view ol tne situation mm
they will be able to carry
their point. What they are
fighting for now is delay.
The meit inspection pro vis
irfh has thus been has thus
been hHd up in the Hons"
and all the energies of t b e
packers are devoted to get
ting the reading of tliea-
mendment altered so that
the cost of the inspection
nhall be borne by the govern
mnit and not by the packing
houses. This is a strategic
move. The cost of the inxpec.
tion amounting toabout five
ents a Ivad wonl 1 not be a
h udshipoa tbe Meat-Trust,
and they kno'w it; Hut they
o not want tlie large force
of inspectors. In the H r s t
place, it would close up most
of the avenue of la breaking
that they have complacently
tollowd for years, and fur
ther it would enable I he inde
pendents outside the trust to
get government inspection
which they ran now do only
in a few cases and with great
difficulty. Export meat lias
tn usr Government itispee-
tor's stamp in order to be
Hold abroad. All of this trade
is in tht hands of the Trust,
hi,(I they do not want to he
interbred with. Now they
know and everyone else who
luiHhadnnrthingtodo wiid
.,,rnintions f r o in Con-
uresfikuowa. that it is a roou
deal easier to get an app'"
m-intinn cut down than it is
to cet it increased. Congress

full force of inspectors, dim
novf vwir there would be a
multiphvity of good reasons

There is a deal of real sor
row over the death ibis week
of Representative Robert Ad
atns, of I'ennsylvaniiCvlio
committed suicide in his n-
partments at the Metropolis
tan Club'."" Bert je" Adams as
he was generally known was
a prominent figure in society,
He wns a lub man nnd while
not what is popularly known
asn high roller, wnssuppos
ed to be wealth r. The last
work of his life was to steer
through the Diplomatic and
Consular Annronriotion Bill
which he did on Thursday
It seems t hit he had' made
nf bis mind sometime before
to kill himself and had only
vvniteil to get tir bill from
hisrommittee out of t he way.
It was thought that it would
be sidetracked on Thursday
iu favor of the. l'ure Food
Hill, and Mr. Adams went to
the Sneaker and made a veri
strong personal idea n't to
hive the bill postponed. He
said that he hail a most im
portant engagement to keep
the next d y. And so appa
rently, be had. for he was
found in his room at theclub
in i he early morniirg, shot
through the mouth and died
a few hours afterward at the
hospital.
Tbe announcement of the
Bureau of Corporation that
it has under way u searching
investiaation of the tobacco
business, appeals to a good
many people as a thing that
has been needed for . a long
timp. But the subject .h so
large and varied that it is

in the world will be able to
make miidior it. Tb3 Bureau
has undertaken to go into
all the ramifications of the
toba...o business, thebnying
of the. various sorts of pipe
chewing and cigar leaf, the
relation of the independent
companies and the relations
of th" subsidiary companies
wi'b the Trust, the compan
ies conti oiling the licorice
industry, which is of course
an essential" (actor in the
.plug tobacco' business, the
conMol ol I lie Cuban tobacco

relations of the Trust with
the British American Tobac
co Company which is an
intrnational offshoot b o t b
f the American Tobacco
omoanv of the Unite d
States nnd the Imperial Com
panics of Omit Britain. 1 he
Bureau has been at woi k on
tbe investigation lor months
and if it does anything like a
thorough job it will be nt
work for several .months
more . But Mr..iarficldBays

then for some more revela

Daring all the recent excite
ment. the rate bill has been

sitrht. of. It iu well to recal
however, that it is still in
i-i mfereive ana i likely to
come out some time by the
conference, among them the
provisions declaring pipe

to report.

" Tlie Evils 01 Annrcliy:
Not much credence, was j
placed in the report from
Oregon that 11 band of an
archists had been found
whose sold object was the
assassination t f President
Rooseyelt. Rumors of this
charecter are ' likely to
circulate nt any time and
they need not giye the presi
dent any alarm. He is nmplj
protected ngamst harm and
he is not the t. pe of man io
be terrified by such silly
threats. At the same time,
however, the anarchist is a
product with which we must
deal, nnd while the extermi
nation of tlw order muy be
difficult it will not be hatd to
hang those whose conduct
proves that they are too
dangerous to reside in this
or nnr other country. Anar
chy has been described as the
hideous canrvr of the body
potitie, if the latter express
ion mav be used. The an
archist is against (he govern
ment in any and every form.
The lamentnbln event at
Buffnlo showed that the evil
ivas coming home to nsA but
as a genernl rule it is more
often fell n broad.
We ore reminded by,the
New York World that four
venes Scotland Yard is under
stood to have had a tacit
agreementwith the anarchits
in Loudon that they would
not be inoltsted if they did
not attack members of the
royal familr or the govern
ment. This meant that the
band was free to plot and
batch crime in England to be
carred out beyond the hor
dor. It gives the freedom of
that country to the most no
torious-outlaws under the
sun, and seemingly the report
must be true, as it has been
said that the details of the
attempted assassination of
King Alfonso were mapped
out ir the city of London
If tin .act did exist it was
broken when the red devils
sonirbt the life of a Btitish
princess. It is well to know
however, that Continental
newspapers are criticising
the British goverument'for
nffording a refuge for ton
tinftital anarchists and noth
ing that the press can say on
that subject is too severe
There are grave problems
confronting the world. Social
ism itself is bad enough, yet
the doctrine of that tiibe is
that everything should be
conducted by law; the an
archist despiseXnll law and
all government. We can get
along with the socialist with
out the constant fear that he
'carrie a bomb, but we cannot
compromise with the disci pies
of Herr Most. They must h
annihilated at any cost.
