Everybody knows that these dignitaries usually act upon their own judgement and without consulting ot even considering the wishes of their constituents. Inasmuch as the president addressed a few remarks tj these august bodies on the subject before leaving Washington it is to be hoped they will settle the contention before he returns. The people xar.-, the matter settled. Now that the Federal government is hot after the big packers it is only reasonable to expect higher priced meats and that of an inferior quali' I erm ty. we nave never ueeu auic w oct where any good was accomplished by federal interference with the so-called trusts. Past experience teaches us r ' that it is to the ultimate and consumate detriment of the public. Sine* government interference some years back with the'Standard Oil Co.. we have had to pay more for kerosene of a lower grade. The same applies to gasoline. The sugar trust, meat trust, tobacco trust and, in fast, about ever,'thing of a private character that the government undertook to "investigate" or "regulate" caused a depreciation in quality with an accompanying advance in price to consumers and an enormous expense to the public treasury in defraying expenses of "investigating"' committees.

Since it is a recognized Bur- I leson custom to rule or ruin, Mr. Gal- I toway's resignation will not be a sur- I poise to his friends and fellow citizens fl of *iiis State. Mr. Galloway is quoted I assaying concerning his action: "My I resignation was forced because I would not cooperate wi^h Postmaster General Burleson in debauching the civil service and making a sham of the merit system. Herman W. Craven, the Republican member, ffndl, Democrat, were ousted from the commission because we were not willing the commission should be a mere adjunct of the Postoffice Department, and subservient to it, especially with reference to examinations for presidential postmasters under executive order of March 31, 1917."
