SENATOR SCOTT,s
BURST OF CONFIDENCE.

From the New York World.
This 'Jocular remark" was made
by Senator Scott, of West Virginia.
member of the Republican National
Committee, at the Roosevelt dinner
on Friday:
Right here l want to say I
BELIEVE IN TRUSTS. THEY ARE A
GOOD THING. The Standard Oil
Company put in its pipelines to all
the small towns where oil is pro-
Quoted, and if it was not for the
Standard Oil Company this pros
perity that we have wouldn't be
there to- day.
This avowal was not made for
publication. We reproduce it with
the distinct understanding that il
was intended solely for the delecta.
ton of the Republican and trust
magnates around the festive board.
But trustworthy reporter was
present by permission, and-as the
Governor OF Wisconsin said on an
historic occasion-"h seen his
duty and he did it," SO this burst
of confidence reached the public
and Senator Scott became Nc.
Kinley's Burchard.
And, after all, wherein is this
honest avowal any worse than Mark
Hanna's preposterous claim that
"there are no trusts" or than the
defense Of the majority Of trusts as
inevitable and useful as made by
many Of Mr.. McKinlcy's sup.
porters1
