THE ABLE MISSOURI CONGRESS-
MEN HANDLES MANY SUB
JECTS IN ABLE MANNER.
AN INTERESTING LETIER
He Thinks the Republican Party is
Badly Split and Says Democrats
Have an Excellent Chance.

Washington, October 23.-Several
years ago, says Champ Clark, when
Jne trusts first began forming under
ihe favorable influence of rob
her tariff, | proposed to put on
the free list every article manu-.
iaoturd by a trust Recently
good deal has been said on the subject.
and the Republican party is badly di-
vided against itself ON the subject.
Now comes Roosevelt advocating
constitutional amendment; says moth
ing else will do any good, If there he
others who share that opinion, let
them read this press dispatch:

Of the aational administration toward
trusts as outlined by President Roosevelt
in his recent speeches and 20 the possi-

Thus the beef packers give us con

strong free list win clean out the
trusts Why, the mere fear of free
trade in cattle prevents the consumma-
ton Of a gigantic trust! This should
eGectually squelch all of Teddy's talk
about constitutional amendments in
the dim ana distant future. Demo
cratic congress is all that is needed

Congressman Calderhead is not tear

remedy for The trusts in fact, he likes
them. He wants more trusts. Another
thing-he takes a jab at organized la
Dor There are few union men in his
district There are many more Repub-
licans who would loudly indorse his
remarks on the subject but for the fact
that many Of their constituents belong
to labor unions Among the number is
Senator platt Of Connecticut, who
emasculated the Chinese exclusion bill
when it was in conference in order that
il might not prove effective against
Chinese labor coming into the country.
Chinese cheap labor is the club that is
to be used to bring the labor unions TO
terms But, going back to Congress
man Calderhead, read what he thinks
Of the trusts:
Topeka Kan.-In remarkable political
speech w. A. Calderhead, Republican con-
gresham from the Firth Kansas district,
defended the trHsts, which he character
lied as "godscnds TO the country" and
denounced organized labor as the great
est menace the country ever had ]"
His remarks have caused much COM
meut as Mr.. Caldcrhead is a prominent
member Of the committee on banks ana
banking in the lower house and has been
regarded as conserya tive, He said IN
part
"Why all this fuss about the trusts?
Speaker Henderson has resigned because
some Republicans insist on tariff revision
as panacea for the imaginary ills which
the trusts are supposed to represent Why
seek to remedy chat which has been a
blessing2 / deny that trusts constitute

q godsend to the country. / have no
sympathy or patience with this fuss
about the trusts. l care not if 1t does
emanate largely within my party. con-
slider it all political buncombe. Trusts are
the handuaids Of progress In every chan
mel Of business and every avenue of life.
They have reduced the cost Of living.
They have furnished employment for la
Dor They have promoted science and en-
couraged invention Instead Of attempt
ing TO remedy or suppress or control
or disturb that which we know is
blessing we should turn our attention to
that which Is known to be an evil and
take hand at suppressing organized la
Dor regard organized labor as the
greatest menace this country has today.
1t not only robs It's members of their lib

lives and property Of the whole people"
"a Solid Republican Column"
1t will be remembered by the readers
of these letters that in my speech at
Bangor Me, before the Democratic
state convention June II | declared
that the Republicans are badly split
up and that for making that truthful
assertion the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Republican organ grinder. took me to
task. denying my statement and de-
nouncing me as "a queer person" what
