for. their coastwise ships through the Panama Canal for it meant million's to the shipping trust. I don't know whether they hired Hearst, or whether he had some other selfish purpose in fighting for free tolls; but he has been making a bitter fight just the same, and ha&abused Wilson like a horse thief, because Wilson op posed free tolls for the shipping trust. It may be that Hearst's swelled head is aching, because of rapidly waning influence. It must be plain to everybody that the people who read his dope sheets don't pay any atten tion to his editorial yawps, and that they no longer look to him for polit ical guidance. That means that he no longer has any goods to deliver politically to his keepers. It may account for his frantic efforts to discredit President Wilson with the people of foreign countries. If he can't rule Wilson he wants to ruin him. But he can't do it In Chicago, where once his polit ical influence was powerful, his news paper support now spells defeat for the candidate who gets it. Hearst's support has become a liability instead of an asset. It looks as if his game now is to disrupt and destroy the Democratic party; and I suspect that he is get ting ready to tie up with Roosevelt and Perkins. I also suspect that if Hearst keeps degenerating as he has been in the past few years since 1908, when he knifed Bryan for Taft the time isn't far off when he won't have any news papers and magazines to fight with. I can see the finish of William Ran dolph Hearst. LETTER TO EDITOR ABOUT BAD MEAT Editor Day Book: I have read many good letters from Day Book readers where they hav,e a kick to register. I have one and I hope we could do something to stop the practice of , butchers pelling or trying to seU meat ' that is decaying to people they do not know. Yesterday I went to a store on Hal sted street to buy a pound and a half of pork chops. As the butcher was cutting the meat I noticed its dark color and picked up a piece to smell, and, sure enough, it was well started to decaying, so I told him I did not 'care for that kind of pork chops. He insisted on me taking it, and would not cut any other for me. I walked out to another store, where I got' good pork chops, but nearly got stung on a lead quarter. About three weeks ago my wife bought 42 cents' worth of steak. When we ate it we noticed a bad taste near the bone, and had to de stroy the meat. Now, I would like to have some one say a word or two about market men trying to get rid of all bad meat to strangers or boys who have been sent to market. I would like to have some one say a word or two about this, as I believe it must be dealt with in the summer months, as it is liable to kill a person eating meat that is softening in these hot months. 0.
