WATCH YOUR CONGRESSMAN.

The late Mr.. David A. Wells wrote
eight years ago a brief and vigorous
article on trusts. which first appeared
IN the New England Almanac. No
one who has written upon the sub
feet has grasped the situation with
more thorough comprehension or ex-
posed II more clearly than that wise
student OF public affairs and fearless
champion Of equal rights. He main
tanned then what has been proved
beyond question since. that the duties
were enacted or kept on in order to
maintain and protect host of trusts
In the United States which could
otherwise have no existence. And he
brought the question sharply forward,
How did your representative in the
last congress voter" That Is the ques-
ton which voters should now be ask
ing. Did he vote protective duties to
favor the trusts which have been
bleeding the American people, and
II he did. VIII the people trust him
again? VIII a new candidate vote to
remove those favors, and. II not, Will
the people trust him at all?

campaign, but in the election Of con-

THREE LIVING ISSUES.

From present indications II seems
probable that three questions will be
specially prominent. the money Ques-
ton, including both metal and paper
money; the trust question. and i'm
perialism. including the question Of
militarism and entangling alliances.
There are other questions which will
cut some figure In the campaign, but
these three will demand the largest
share of public attention. Men differ
as to their relative importance, but
they are all important The currency
bill, which Is now q law, has revealed
the party's love for the gold standard
and its hypocrisy In pretending to IA
vor international bimetallism. That
bill has also received the Republican
plan to retire the greenbacks and
turn over the control Of the paper
money to the national banks. The
trust question shows that the Repub-
licans are insincere in their prom
ises to destroy the trusts. while the
Porto Rican bill reveals the imperial
istic purposes OF the Republican lead
ers. The Republicans do not now
dare to unfold their plans. The
Spooner resolution proposes that
when the war Is over the president
shall establish q. government which
is to stand till congress acts In the
matter, but this Is superlatively un-
certain. II simply means that after an
indefinite continuation Of the war. the
president will establish an indefinite
form Of government, which shall last
for an indefinite time. and then con-
gress will substitute some kind of

Philippine Islands, and that plan will
be an immediate announcement Of the
nations purposes; first. to establish
4 stable government; second. to give
the Filipinos independence. as we had
promised to give Independence to

France to change from q republic to
an empire. and to change Napoleon
from a successful general to an en-
peror In exile. Emperors come high.
Students Of history are comparing
Mckinley with George III. They
have many characteristics In
common. George III. was prosy.
opinionated, a strange combination Of
weakness and obstinacy. He had a
marked capacity for surrounding
himself with the weakest statesman of
the kingdom. Re was equally mac
cessible with Mckinley to the infiu-
ence Of public sentiment He made .
marked pretext Of religion. He had
no small vices. He finally went crazy.
Nearly all these characteristics are re-
peated in Mckinley, and Daniel Web
ster said In a speech delivered In
congress April IL. 1926. that any
statesman who should propose to at
tach to the United States distant, un-
natural and unassimilable territory
would be q mad man.
