IN INSOUBNT MAJORITY
The following editorial Is from the
Omaha r "World-Herald :
: Between April"!, last year, and
April i8, 'this year; while the price
paid, by the packers to the farmers
for cattle increased only i3 per qent,
the price charged by the packers to
the wholesalers increased 29 per
cent. The beef trust, ;iri other Words,
having charged up to the public the
full increase in the cost of beef to
the trust, gouged the public for an
additional amount ' which was al
most 125 p.er cent in excess of that
increase.
This profit' ,made',rby the beef trust
out of a 1,000 pound steer, instead
of being but 99 cents, as Mr. Gar
field reported, is almost $8.
The b$ef trust, Which, in fourteen
leading markets of the country
packs and slaughters 90 per cent of
Hitchcock in his speech in the house
Tuesday on the beef trust.
The Omaha Bee sneers that the
one effect of the speech will bo to
swell the volume of the Congres
sional Record. It may bo true. The
republican party is in entire control
of congress, the courts, and the ex
ecutive branch of tho government;
and the republican party refuses to
lift a finger to rectify the wrongs ex
posed by Mr. Hitchcock and the other
democratic members of congress.
When Mr. Hitchcock showed from
the record how tho powder trust is
gouging the government, tho house
refused to act. When lie showed
from the record how tho armor plate
trust Is filching from tho public treas
ury, the house refused to act. When
he showed, conclusively, from his
own experience as a publisher, how
the paper trust is mulcting the news
papers and newspaper readers of tens
of millions annually, the house was
indifferent, and it has thus far re
fused to act even though the presi
dent himself has pleaded for such
action.
It does not become the Bee, or any
other republican newspaper to sneer
at any democratic member because
of his inability to right these wrongs.
It is the fault, the entire fault, of
the brutal, indifferent, callous repub
lican majority, Which binds and gags
the minority, defies the president,
and flaunt its insolence in the face
of an outraged and betrayed public.
The democratic members, includ
ing Congressman Hitchcock, have
done all that was humanly possible
to force the republican majority to
grant to "the people some measure
of relief at this session. They have
held up the president's hands and
offered their solid -vote to help enact
into law a number of the measures
he recommends. Their failure. Is his
failure: and it is the people's fail
ure. And thb people 'will' know
whom to hold responsible. Omaha

TOM JOHNSON" OF CldSVELAND
At the beginning of Tom Johnson's
public activity it was the fashion
among rich men who were in. public
life to sneer at him as a "parlor so
cialist." Later, alarm, at his per
sistence turned- thte contempt to dis-
like--to be followed by resentment.
But all ttie time Tom Johnson has
been true to his avowed Ideals of a
square deal for the people.
A man Of tremendous force, he has
made these ideals win in tkat one
large detail of municipal life to which
he has directed his efforts. That de
tail was a fair service irom pun nc
utility corporations. Tho three-cent
fare victory in Cleveland means far
more than the immediate saving to
the people of that city. There was
not a street railway, an electric light
company, a telephone or gas or &-;
ter company in any American city
which was not aroused to antagonism
by Mayor Tom Johnson's fight in
Cleveland. For r. square deal in that"
