voters, Mr. De Almond said: "To
what chapter Of your Republican per-

approval from the people? ! do not

thing out OF this amendment If you
get anything out of it, il will be be-
cause the American people are far
more stupid than / think they are,
and because delusiOn is much more
attractive To them than plain conduct
and honest acts Can there be any
thing in the proposition that because
you label this anti trust, we shall not
look beyond the label? You have
labeled many things other than they
are. There is not package Of your
political nostrums that will bear in

than il is today. | am willing to
amend the Constitution, but am not
willing 10 amend it so as 10 take from
fortyiive states the power they now
possess To create and control corpora

these corporations. You propose to
say which one of them you will de- !
nounce and destroy, if you destroy any
of them, and which you will shelter
and protect. / am opposed to that
kind Of legislation. Trusts have grown
within the last three years as they have
never grown before. They are mightier,
they have invaded new fields, conquer

are mightier today than ever before.
And yet you say to the people wait

Judges have a way Of emphasizing
their disapproval of those who fail to

instance was given when Justice Bar
nard, Of the Supreme Court Of the Dis
rict of Columbia, added fine Of 500
and costs to his rebuke Of Mr.. f.. G.
Siggers for his failure to obey an order
IF the court not to represent himself as
TO or as connected with the
irm Of &. A. Snow & Co., the we'll
known Washington Patent Lawyers.
To drop into slang, it may be said

hem with notice that the Spooner
Ill would not be voted upon at this
ession, and abandoned their attempt
o get the bill through, more than
feek ago. ]
In allowing the claim Of Mr.. Clark
nd Mr. Maginnis for seat in the

he Senate Committee on Elections

eople Of Montana for settlement, as

Felve hold-over Senators, and will

Notwithstanding the promotion Of

iges that regular troops are to be sent

BY pooling their Issues, those two
rsonal enemies, Gen. Miles and Gen.
