Pro tection is getting some hard whack3 --tiesedays.. . , '. The socialists of Chicago have de cided to start a daily taper. They voted- down a resolution for; a co-op erative undertaking and resolved to form a stock company and proceed along capitalistic lines. When ever air attempt is made to. do "business along socialistic lines, these men al ways find "insuperable" difficulties. And still they go on dreaming dreams. Several recent cases seem to indicate that British juries are mere automa tons. All that they want is to know what the presiding judge ' thinks anl they go unanimously that way.

The Denver News went half crazy along with all the republican papers in the west, declaring that the reel procity treaty with Cuba making a lower rate on sugar would "destroy the industry" of raising sugar beets. The treaty was ratified and now it is pub lishing great stories about the wealth gained in the sugar beet industry dur ing the last year. According to its latest tales, since the adaption of that treaty, the sugar beet men have mads more money than they ever did before Tom Patterson is one of Jhe four or fttnrs who held uo that treaty for the whole term of the United states senate.
