ticuIarIy Rich in Resources.

Somewhere in that mysterious part of
the South Pacific ocean, where one day
merges into another to keep chronomet-
ers straight and to keep mankind from
trouble in marking the flight of years,
lie the Samoan islands, three in num-
Der, OF which the smallest, Tutuilla, is
the property OF the United States The
recent division OF the islands, which are
connected with the United States and
with Australia and New Zealand by reg
ular mail steamers, has assured their
future Tutuilla, which is as large as
the State OF Rhode Island, contains
many acres of the richest soil, and would
make fruitful dwelling place for Ioo,-
900 ambitious men. 1t could be con-
verted into vast plantations OF coffee,
vanilla, tobacco, cocoanuts and dozens
OF other native products, while a thriv-
ing town could be made to flourish be-
meath the fower-clad trees on the beach.
Apia, in Samoa, is one of the most
prosperous towns in the south seas, and
its future is assured. 1t was in the hills
north OF this place that Robert Louis
Stevenson, after roaming the earth for
paradise, found one. 1t was there he

TRUSTS AND THE LAW.
HANNA HAS LET THE CAT OUT
OF THE BAG.

His Ridiculous Effort to Explain an Un-
fortunate Campaign Utterance - No
Trusts "in the Meaning of the Law
why Griggs Cannot Find Any.
Mark Hanna has demonstrated an
ability equal to that of Roosevelt in
putting his foot further into n mess
when attempting to explain an un-
fortunate campaign utterance. When
the rough-riding orator tried to eX-
plain the meaning of his declaration
that "all Democrats are towards" he
made bad matter worse, and now
comes Hanna with an amendment to
his Chicago pronunciamento that
''there are no trusts in this country"
which puts his party in a hole from
which it will not be likely to extract
itself even by the most desperate
clawing.
Hanna explains" the naive declar-
alton that what he said was not there
are no trusts" but that 'there are
no trusts in the meaning of the law"
The difference between these two as
sertions is evidently very great to
the astute mind of Mr.. Hanna, but
to the average citizen they mean
about the same thing, except that
the amended statement is much
stronger and more significant than the
one which it seeks to excuse. The
plain English of it is that Hanna has
let the cat out of the bag. True is it,
indeed, that there "are no trusts in
n nf 10 1a VIII hot 10 Of
the law as defined and executed by
the Republican party.
If any one disputes Hanna he can
call to his support as witness Attor-
ney- General Griggs. This function
ary will swear till he is blue in the
face that there is no such thing as
trust under his Interpretation of
the law. Despite the fact that his
home State of New Jersey is the
wholesale incubator of trusts this man
Griggs cannot see one. He knows
that there is an antitrust law on the
statute books, law which the Su-
preme Court declares is fully compe-
tent to provide Il remedy for trust
evils. Griggs knows the law but he
is trust blind. I'm the meaning of
the law" to him there are no trusts.
And this is just where the trouble
is. AS long as Griggs is Attorney
General-and he or some man equally
blind will be Attorney General as long
as McKinleyism is maintained at
Washlngton-there will be no trusts
lin the meaning of the law"
Hanna's tongue is befuddling his
brain. He says there are no trusts,
and in the next breath makes the re-
markable statement that "what anti
trust laws have been enacted have
been enacted by the Republicans"
Why, If there are no trusts? If Han
ma is not choked into silence he will
be the best Bryan orator on the
stump, for he is so stepped in his own
conceit and so porcinely belligerent
that he tells the truth without know
ing it.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-22

What is the purpose of the campaign
lie? Is it to amuse the people? 1t
certainly does not influence voters. AS
Il general thing it is so easily detected
that no one regards it seriously.
Doubtless campaign committees Sc
cure the services of those who have
Il talent for manufacturing lies re-
specting the opposing candidates or
the opposing party, and pay them in
accordance with the success with
which they discharge the duties re-
quired Of them. Now and then a cam
paign lie is set a6oat that is really
injurious to the opposite party, and
then there is great effort to coun-
teract its effect. Usually, however,
no attention is paid to campaign lies,
and they are forgotten almost as soon
as they appear in print
One was published the other day
that attracted some attention for the
reason that the Republican campaign
managers doubtless made special
effort 20 have it circulated
The purport of it was that eX-Gov-
ernor Stone, of Missouri had made
a bargain with Mr.. Croker, in which
the latter agreed to raise campaign
fund of $2,O0O000, to be used in car
rying the State of New York for Mr..
Bryan, on condition that Mr.. Croker
was to have absolute control of Fed
eral patronage of New York and eX-
Senator Edward Murphy, Jr., was to
be made Secretary of the Navy in the
event of the success of the Democrat
ic ticket.
1t is not necessary to say that Mr..
Stone and Mr.. Croker made no such
bargain. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Bryan
has discussed the question of patron
age, or Cabinet positions, with any
body. Not long ago he said that if
he We're elected President it would
be without pledges or promises of any
kind other than those contained in
the Democratic national platform. He
Is not the sort of man to make prom
ises of places and patronage to get
campaign funds or votes.
