covered by Jessie, a daughter Of the owner,

owing to the high wind, rapidly assumed
dangerous proportions.

AN ANTITRUST "PLAN."'

Ex-senator Chandler has solved a
plan of action for the Republicans and
amongst the things that he says must
be done is to deal wisely with prob
lens connected with the perpetual
strife between capital and labor. Sup
press the huge corporations, which are
made so huge, not to promote economy
of production. but to create monoplies,
which will keep up the prices of COM
modities and keep down the wages of
labor. The Republican party must do
this"
And then in reply to the question,
Can these things be accomplished ?"
he says: 1.-The repeal of the charters of
fourteen hundred million dollar corpor-
ations would have been achieved under
Mr.. Mckinley. 1t will be no less ac-
complished under Mr.. Roosevelt. His
conservatism will certainly not lead
him to do less for the interests of the
workingman of the country than Mr..
Mckinley would have DONE"
1t is possible Mr.. Chandler may have
discovered some plan by which the ad-
ministration may repeal the charters
of the giant trusts, but as these char
tiers are granted by the states 1t Is not
clear how the Federal government can
repeal them. Those trusts that do an
interstate business can be controlled
by Congress, but even Congress cannot
disfranchise trust or any other cor
poration that is doing a state business.
There is also great doubt If the Roose-
welt administration will not be as
powerless to. control the trusts as the
late administration was. The Repub-
lican party is under too many obliga-
tions to the trusts and its leaders are
too much interested in some of them
to be likely to even attempt to hurt
their own friends, Mr.. Chandler to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
