about us. But this lis all they can do
When tho conditions have been created
which make prosperity possible, then each
individual man must achieve II for him

ergy industry, and resolute purpose. n,
when people wax rat they kick, as they
have been prone TO do since the days or
Jeshurum they will speedily destroy their
own prosperity. II they Igo into wild specu-
lation and lose their theads, they have
lost that which no legislation can supply
and the business world will suffer In con
sequence. II, In a spirit OF sulIen envy,
they insist upon pulling down those who
have proflted most by the years OF fairness
they win bury themselves in the grasp OF
the common disaster. II Is difficult 10

so called trusts today, for the trust 's a
large state corporation, generally doing
business IN other States ard Is often with
tendency to monopoly Such a trust is
an artificial creature not wholly responsible
to or controllable by any Legislature nor
wholly subject to the Jurisdiction Of any

must be given full power over these arti-

In my judgment, this sovereign must be
the National government. When It has
been given fol- power, then this full power
can bs used n atroi any evil as Gle U
ally as the government is now using the
power conferred upon II under the Sherman
antitrust law. Even when tho full power
has been conferred 1t would be highly I'M
desirable TO attempt too much, or begiu by
stringent legislation. The mechanism Of
modern business is as delicate or compl-
