THE PENITENTIARY CURE.
iSi.'Paul News.)
"Taking advantage of heavy receipts
the packers have worked In harmony und
depressed the market."
The ubove excerpt was taken from the
market reports of a Chicago newspaper.
It might aslly be duplicated from the
market columns of almost any Chicago
newspaper of the past several weeks.
" The biirparitrs- of Chlcasre. are- acting,
and have lieew acting. In conjunction. In
other words
These packers are dally violating the
injunction Issued against them by the
federal courts.
And In thu meantime there Is no decline
in the retail prices of meats. And no ex
planation Is vouchsafed. When Attorney-General
Knox Hied his pleadings In
the case of the. United States against the
big combine, i elaborate explanation was
made renpectlng the high price of beef
and pork. The reason alleged was the
scarcity of feed and of cattie and hogs.
The conditions at that time made the
pica plausible.
But conditions . hnve changed. There
is abundance of food. Barring a few sec
tions where the corn is soft, the country
has the greatest crop In Its history. And
there is no scarcity of cattle or hugs, it
Is easy to prove'thls fatter ansertlon from
recent Chicago market reports.' Several
times recently word lias been sent out
that the supply, of live stock exceeded
the demand.
The crux of the matter Is this:
'There 'Is a beef trust, anif lr s robbrmr'
the people with "both Its gTeeily hands.
The Sherman anti-trust law, us It is
"enforced." is a fraud.
There is a provision In that law calling
for criminal prosecution.
Was It ever Invoked?
These millionaire packers, with their
able lawyers, care nothing for Injunc
tions or for civil procedure.
Let the government Institute criminal
proceedings and show this gentry the
open doors of the penitentiary.
And If the anti-trust law needs
strengthening along this point, It should
be done by Congress this winter.
Constitutional amendments are too
slow.
Put one of these offirliters against the
law In the penitentiary, and there will
be no more lilegul combines of this kind.

"The mountains of. Macedonia seem to
breed the germs of war," is the tersa
remurk a returned traveler wio has spent
several weeks In that InrsicMtlng coun
try made to your correspondent. "Should
I live to be a hundred years old," he
went on, "I never expect to see one
single year roll round without hearing
tales of bloodshed from that country.
Every man's hand Is at his neighbor's
throat, and iove of slslfe is the grand
passion of this people."
The history of Macedonia and the
present conditions there echo the senti
ments of the traveler. The country is in
habited by many small tribes pr families.
Kuch one antagonizes the other. The
people are drawn from the most mixed
and varied denominations of Moslems
and Christians mixed in the sense that,
in many cases, as In Crde, members of
the same rai e and almost the same fam
ily are frequently divided between creeds.
Ii. fore the Husso-Turklsh War. there
was a great Influx of Hulgarlan Chris
tians, who lied aeross the border to find
immunity from persecution. After the
war, hordes erf Pomaks (Moslem Bulgar
ians), who had previously cufered most
terribly at the hands of the emancipated
Christians, sought refuge la .what wafc

The remainder of the nonnintlnn Iq
composed of Oreeks, Albanians, Circas
sians and a considerable sprinkling of
Jews.
The chief cause for the Internal conten
tions or little wars that go on between
the tribes is due to the c.m3tant strus
gle for life under the vastly unequal con
ditions. While the preponderance of the
population in numbers is Chrstian, the
balance of power, which takes the place
of Justice, is always leaning toward the
Moslem. The local officials of the Sul
tan squeeze the Christians extortionately
and they have no redress, for when they
are bold enough to demand it their claims
are met with a term in prison of from
five to 101 years.
Adding, therefore, to the unequal con
ditions the differences In r'.dal charac
teristics and the religious doctrines. It
may be safely said that there will never

The burdensome load of supporting a
vast army breeds the spirit of discon
tent, which breaks out whenever the Sul
tan's vigilance relaxes. Never since the
Russo-Turklsh War (187) has Turkey
had less than 120,000 troops quartered at
Macedonia, and, as Is customary with
the armies of occupation, the country
has been compelled to fued thtse aliens

been constrained to supply these unin
vited guaste with pocket money and to
bacco, and the size of the army has been
continually Increased until now it num
bers In the vicinity of 300,000.
Whether the friends of Macedonia have
decided that the position is so Intoler
able that the moment for Intervention has
arrived, will soon be shown. So much Is
certain that the keeping of so large a
force of arms ifj 'The countrv has. In
stead of bringing lasting . pacification
nearer, only served to brlns the final
solution of the situation closer home to
other nations. With the elimination of
