The country agrees with Mr.. Bryan that
trusts are an evil which ought to be got
ma of as soon as possible. The indica-
tons are thai the Republican party viii
dauouuce them as strongly as the Demo
cratic party will In recent interview,
Senator Morgan of Alabama said that
both of the great political parties would
take strong ground against them in their
national platforms next year. He ex-
pressed the opinion. however that neither
party would do anything inimical to
trusts He meant either that they couldn't
do anything or that they were not in
clined 10 do anything, and that their
speeches and resolutions against trusts
were mere buncombe,
It is certain that what Mr. Bryan said
in Chicago is not calculated to give the
people any announcement in the fight
against trusts. It is apparent that he
doesn't know whether the existing anti
trust laws can be made available for des
troying trusts or not. He doesn't know
whether they apply to all kinds of trusts

either be brought to an early close or the

not be endured. 1t will also destroy the

IowA's REMARKABLE EDITOR.

Richard Peters CIarkson, One of the
Interesting Characters of the State.
Richard Peters Clarkson, editor and
principal owner of the Iowa State Reg
lister, Is one of the most interesting,
original aud forceful characters In the
State. He has grown up in the news
paper business. His father, COker T.
Clarkson, lived In Brookville, Ind,
where Richard was born In 1910, and
there the elder Clarkson conducted a
weekly paper called the Brookyille
American, and his sons, Richard F.
and James s., learned their trade In
that Office. In 1865 the family moved
to Grundy County, Iowa, and settled
on a farm, where they lived for some
fifteen years. In the spring Of 1861
Richard entered the Office Of the Des
Moines Register as a printer. but the
following October he enlisted as pri-
vate In Company A. Twelfth Iowa In
fantry. He suffered severely during
the war. was captured at Shiloh April
g. 1862, and was confined seven months
In a rebel prison. Afterward he re-
turned TO his regiment and served to
the end Of the war, when he returned
to the Grundy County farm and re-
mained until 1870. The father and his
two sons then bought the Iowa State
Register. Eighteen months later oc-
Cured the famous Senatorial contest
between James Harlan, then United
States Senator, and William b. Allison,
member Of Congress and candidate for
the Senatorship The elder Clarkson
favored Harlan, but the boys were for
Allison. The matter was settled quite
unexpectedly to the senior partner, for
the boys secured from him an offer to
sell his share, and they raised the
money and paid him the cash with the
assistance OF the then wealthy and

this method of replying to an adyer-
sary.
He was arguing against bill for the
prohibition Of oleomargarine, and In
slsting that good oleomargarine was
better than bad butter. He fortified
his argument by n story Of n gentle
man who had introduced the substl-
tute without explanation at a luncheon
and who, on asking his guests to COM
pare it with the best butter, also on the
table, found them all selecting the cleo
margarine.
Suddenly Mr.. - arose, and with the
profoundest seriousness asked:
''Win the gentleman kindly inform us
at what precise stage Of the luncheon
party this test was appliedT
The retort brought down the house
instantly, and the rout which followed
was overwhelming. 1t readily occur
red that ut a convivial luncheon party
there might be a period when the Judg-
ment of the guests would lose some Of
it's value.
