menace to our commercial institutions?
Does ii imperil our national life and

outlaw or merely be regulated by law?
Like all questions, it has two sidas,
and both must be fairly stated. The
Christian religion given the world by the
Man of Nazareth has given mankind
spiritual freedom. The emancipation
proclamation gave man physical freedom.
industrial freedom is now demanded oy

The trust creates conditions more seri-

cepted 1t may suit the plans of some
people to push the trust into the back
sfound and treat the problem of imperial.
ism and expansion as the only issue OF
the day. But ignoring the Industrial evil
means either shielding the trusts or plan
nlng TO profit politically on an artificial
enthusiasm over war and new posses
sions. The trust of the present day is
one huge corporation. The corpora tons
whose property it has swallowed have
