PUBLICITY for the trusts is the first
step on the Presidents program for their
regulation. The President, like all the
Republicans, is aroused on this trust
question, and is anxious that the com
bines which are harmful shall be curbed.
OF course all trusts are not of this order.
Many of them are, however, and these
are the ones which the Republicans are
preparing TO assail. The Democrats find
no aid and comfort in the trust issues
this year. The Republicans are ahead
of them in the attack on the trusts, and
the Republicans not only have the power
to make their promise good, but they
have the ability and honesty, both Of
which the Democratic leaders and anti
trust howlers lack.
