THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Commented on BY Col. Bryan In His
Commouvr.

Lincoln, Neb, Dec, II Mr. BRYAN
indulgcs in tndav's COmnioRcr in caus-
tie common; upon President Rocss-
velt'> first message. which. however,
he SAYS. contains much that can be
commended by mem bers of all parties.
On the trust question he says: A
perusal OF his utteranceS shows that
the President has heard from the
trust magnatcs since he made his
Minneapolis speech. He borrows the
phrase of the trust defenders when
he asserts that the average man has
never been so we'll of in :his coun-
try as nj this time. The inference is
natural that the trust evil is not
really serious. 1t is doubtful whether
any one was badly scared, as the
President seems not 10 be in "A proper
frame of mind To calmly consider an
effective antitrust law. He gives
the benefit ot doubt II the corpora
tons and nowhere expresses a. much
solicitude for the rights of the masses

strained by the trust magnates TO
withhold his positive and emphatic
| condemnation OF monopoly princi-
pies"
| Mr.. BRYAN accuses the President OF
lack of candor in not outlining cur
rency legislation, and adds To a dis
cussion OF imperialism this prophecy
If the Republicans in the senate and
the House carry out the Presidents
