CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS AS
WE SEE 1T.

Public interest the past week has centered on
political matters, although the rumors of an early
settlement of the coal strike have served to keep
the people expectant with regard to that trouble.
These rumors, however, are as yet unfulhlled, nor
is their justification yet apparent. And already,
they say there is a shortage of 2O,OOO,OOO tons in
the years output of anthracite. The death of
Judge Horace Gray, of the United States Su-
preme Court, had it occurred before the appoint
ment of Judge Holmes as his successor, would
have been the subject of much comment; as it was
surprisingly little was said about it. He was IA
years old, a native of Massachusetts, and had
served on the Supreme Court bench since his ap-
pointment by President Arthur In the State
Democratic Conventions held last week the anti
Bryan element made some progress and down in
South America the chronic revolutiOnists are hav-
ing some of the excitement necessary to their
istence.

has revived interest in the trust question, for the
people understand that when matter becomes
of enough Importance to cause the President to
take such action as this, the problem is worth
studying Unfortunately, however, Mr.. Roose-
vet is not very explicit to the evils that he
would attack, or the remedies that he would use.
We must have publicity he says; we must have
these great corporations inspected by government
officials and the inspection reports published, as
in the case of national banks Beyond that the
President does not seem to know what to do, and
the net result of his action will probably be little
more than re-awakened interest in the trust issue
He wants a Constitutional Amendment but what
for?
So Dr. Roosevelt says to the Nation: "This
trust disease of yours is dangerous, and demands
grave consideration. Somehow it must be dealt
with" Now the question is, may not some other
doctor present a more definite and satisfying pre-
scription? The patient may think the quack, sure
that he has the needed remedy, safer support
than the professional who feels that something
should be done without knowing-so far as can
be seen-just what this something is

ROOSEVELT WOULD AMEND THE {

ROOSEVELT WOULD AMEND THE CON-
STITUTION.-But the most important piece of
news for a month past, as everybody is now be-
ginning to see, is that the President of the United
States has virtually called for the amending of
the National Constitution. No small matter is
this-the Chief Executive of the Nation declar
ing in favor of change in, or addition to, the
countrys fundamental law. This is the thing
which Mr.. Roosevelt, in the course of his trust
speeches. has done. That we may not msrepre-
sent misinterpret his remarks, let his
exact words In his Boston speech he declared:
"At present we have really no efficient control
over a big corporation which does business in
more than one State. Frequently the corpora
tion has nothing whatever to do with the State in
which it is incorporated, except to get incorpo-
rated; and all it's business may be done in en-
tirely different communities-communities which
may object very much to the methods of incorpo-
ration in the State named. I do not believe that
you can get any action by any State, I do not be-
ieve it practicable to get action by all the States
that will give US satisfactory control of the trusts
big corporations; and the result is at present
that we have a great, powerful, artificial creation
which has creator to which it is responsible
The creator creates it, and then it goes and oper-
the part of the creator to deal with tit does not
do anything in that State. It does not do any
thing where the creator has power; it operates
outside entirely"
Further in this speech he lntimated that a
Constitutional Amendment might be necessary,
but it was at Fitchburg, Mass, next day, that the
President expressed this emphatic opinion:
Il think we get laws which will measurably
increase the power of the Federal Government
in dealing with corporations; but, gentlemen, I
believe firmly that in the end there will have to
be amendment to the Constitution of the Ma
ton, comforting additional power upon the Fed
eral Government to deal with the corporations.
To get that will be a matter of difficulty and a
matter of time. I want you to think of
what have said, because it represents all of the
sincerity and earnestness that have.
RTTT AFTER A ANFNDNTFNT
The progressive farmer., 1902-09-23

American trusts are selling to foreigners than
to Americans. These trusts, protected by the
tariff from foreign competition In America, do
send their products to Europe there to compete
with the lower-priced European goods. 1t Is not
strange, therefore, that Americans are beginning
to say to these protected trusts: IF you can sell
wire nails to foreigners at $1.3O per keg, why
must you charge your own countrymen 1925? If
you can sell foreigners axle grease at 4 cents
pound why do you charge Americans cents? If
you can sell tin-plate in Europe at 1919 per hun
dredweight, why is it that here you charge $4.19!
This is why the people are beginning to demand
the removal of all duties products controlled
by the trusts This would be far from complete
remedy for the trust evil (whatever some Demo
cratic leaders may try to get people to beGeve),
but many believe it to be the thing nearest at
hand the quickest and shortest way of dealing
the trusts a blow, and we think the sentiment in
its favor is growing
SPEAKER HENDERSON'S RETIREMENT.
To this fact public attention mas just been di-
rected in manner too striking to be overlooked
Gen. David B. Henderson of Iowa, Republican
Speaker of the House of Representatives, has de-
cined his party's denomination as Representative.
To the Republicans the news came like thunder
bolt from clear sky. Here is what General
Henderson says in his letter declining re-nomi-
nation:
"Since my return to the district have made
careful study as to the sentiment in the district
and State, and believe that there is little
sentiment and a growing sentiment among Re-
publicans that / do not truly represent their
views the tariff question. Believing this con-
dition to exist and knowing that do not agree
with many of my people that trusts, to which I
and have been opposed, can be cueed167'aszFg
people benefited by free trade in whole or in part,
[ must decline to accept the nomination so gen.
srously and enthusiastically made"
So the sum of the matter is that General Hen
derson is arden Protectionist, and declines re-
election because he cannot conscientiously carry
out the growing tarif-revision sentiment of his
constituents. For it will be remembered that, in
spite of the efforts of Mr. Henderson and other
leaders, the recent Iowa Republican Convention
adopted the following as a part of the platform:
eve favor any modification of the tariff sche-
dulles that may be required to prevent their af-
fording shelter to monopoly

THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.-At any
rate, it seems just now that the Democratic anti
trust remedy will probably prove more popular
than that proposed by Mr.. Roosevelt His method
is a slow one, he acknowledges; naturally
much complicated and difficult of operation, the
amending machinery is also rusty from long dis
use, that relief from this source loks very far
away; many say that the whole idea is visionary.
Anyhow it is great deal easier, as the Demo
cratic leaders are carefully emphasizing just now,
to strike the trusts through the tariff. The pre-
scription would afford only incomplete relief. as
Mr.. Roosevelt forcibly pointed out in his Cinein-
natl speech on Saturday, goth: such great trusts
as the Standard Oil Company and the Anthracite
Coal Trust, he said, are not protected by tariff,
and the free-trade remedy would leave them en-
tirely unscathed.
But the tariff does help some trusts, as some
figures recently quoted in The Progressive Farm
er go to prove. The figures to which we refer
were those showing at how much lower rate many

looks, therefore, as if Mr.. Roosevelt has spoken
prematurely. He should have waited and thought
out his remedy before commenting the disease.
And right here we are inclined to think, is Mr..
Roosevelt's weakest point. He lives the strenuous
life. As DR.. Walter Page said of him in that esti-
mate published in The Progressive Farmer last
week. ''he is quick in mind and body and impatient
of slowness; when he hunts he hunts big game,
when he rides he rides hard, when he walks he
walks fast, and when he talks he talks right out"
Such man is not usually willing to give himself
to the slow, tedious and laborous work of master
ing great political problems. To quote DR.. Page
again:
"His mind is not imaginative nor constructive.
1t works best in the straight line of action. He
does not naturally turn to the making of new
policies. He is aptest at carrying out old ones.
His temperament is executive rather than crea-
tive"
In other words Mr.. Roosevelt is an admirably
equipped Executive, but without the natural gifts
needed by the legislator. He is bold man, and
boldness, Bacon tells u.s. "is i'll in counsel, good in
execution" If the country's representations ever
enact a wise antitrust law, it is probable that
they could not find a Chief Executive to carry it
out more courageously and sensibly than would
Mr.. Roosevelt But we rather doubt his ability
to work out painstakngly the remedy for the evils
to which he has called attention.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS ON PARTY POL
ICY.-But it seems that the National Republican
leaders have squarely set their faces against this
Iowa policy. For there was a notable conference
of Great Leaders at Oyster Bay last Tuesday.
Roosevelt was there, and the Big Five from the
Senate-Hanna, Spooner, Allison, Lodge and Al
drich. These men, it is said, mapped out the
policy for their party. And the policy they favor
is this: The Cuban Reciprocity Bill must pass
Congress this winter, but there must be no furth-
er meddling with the tariff and for an antitrust
remedy Roossvelt's Constitutional Amendment
idea must have Republican support.
The information seems to be authentic, and
gains further credence from the fact that in his
speech of Saturday, goth, to which we have al
ready referred, the President for the first time
declared against revising the tariff as an anti
trust remedy. This fearfully long sentence from
that speech sets forth his position:
''The immediate introduction of substantial
free trade in all articles manufactured by trusts
that IS by the largest and most successful corpo-
ratlons, would not affect some of the most power|
full OF our business combinations in the least. saw
