nopoly?
President Roo: evelt is giving
wide publicity to his intention of
dealing with the trusts" but the

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
While President Roosevelt's

While President Roosevelt's
statement In regard to trusts,
made at Pittsburg, and the subse-
quent announcement that Repre-
sentative Littlefeld, of Maine, had
been selected to draft bill which
would provide for federal super
vision and control of these great
monopoIies, have received wide
publicity in the press Of the coun-
try, they are not regarded serious
" by the leading Democrats
in Washington. Representative
Griggs, of Georgia, who returned
from his home this week, pointed
out, when | asked him his opinion
OF Mr.. Rooseyelt's announcement.
the fact that the President had
waited until after the adjourn
ment of Congress to expound bis
views on the subject should be
sufficient proof that he was not
sincere in his protestations and
that they were made for political
only. Had Mr.. Roose
welt felt so strongly on the subject
of the trusts as he now pretends, "
he said, lit would have been his
duty to present his views to Con-
gress and not wait until a week
after Congress had adjourned and
then present them to, and for their
effect on, the people" In fact,
the concensus of opinion is that
the President is simply making an
effort to placate that element of
the party in the West which has
demanded tariff reduction as
remedy for the growing tyranny
IT the trusts.

While doubling the Presidents
sincerity, the Democratic leaders
consider that. in his desire for per.
sonal popularity and in his efforts
to make certain his own nomina-
ton, ne has materially aided them
in their efforts to secure great
Democratic victory in 1904, if not
in the fall elections. His utter
ances have brought into that prom
inence which the Democrats have
been striving to give it, the enor
nifty of the trust evil, and not only
is it certain that there is no chance
for securing from the Republicans
in Congress during the short SEES
sion antitrust legislation which
will satisfy the public, but it is
equally certain that a disappointed
public will turn to the Democratic
party for relief in 1904. BY his
selection Of Mr.. Littlefeld, of
Maine, Mr.. Roosevelt has shown
a disposition to ignore the leaders
of his party in Congress, but no
one who understands the situation
believes for a moment that he can
either control the House without
the help of those leaders or that.
he can produce any effect upon
the trust controlled Republicans
in the Senate. Il

Representative Swanson, of Vir-
ginia, characterizes the Presidents
utterances as a ''sham and q fraud''
and points out that even for the
purpose Of befriending Cuba,
which Mr.. Roosevelt declared was
essential to the honor of the coun-
try, he was unwilling to use his
influence to secure the passage of
the Cuban reciprocity bill passed
by the House and which would
have placed the Sugar Trust in
competition with the foreign re-
liners to the great advantage of
the American consumers. Mr..
Roosevelt knew that he would have
the unqualified support of the
Democrats in the Senate as we'll as
OF a number of the Senators of his
own party, but he was unwilling
to take the first step which would
antagonize the Sugar Trust and
kindred interests. "Can any one.
after this proceeding, place any
faith in Mr.. Roosevelt's protesta-
lions of antagonism to the trusts?"
added Mr.. Swanson.

he says that unless the next session
OF Congress grants reciprocity to
Cuba anarchy will replace the

doubtedly be followed by annexa-

as Consul General at Havana
places him in a position to speak
with authority and he says that

unemployed increases and that.
without tariff concessions from

is looking toshis fences with an eve
on the next Presidential nomina-
ton and some there who suggest
that even Mr.. Roosevelt's attack
upon the trusts is d trap into which
he has been led by his willy friend
from Ohio. The policy of those
who support the Senator from,
Ohio is to utter no word in public
derogatory to the President, in
fact to kill his chances with damn
ing praise. They will say that he
is frank, courageous, a good Re
publican, fearless-possibly lit
tie too much so, it is true; impul-
silye-to fault, it may be, but
still admirable, ETC." But in pri-
yate, to the great financial inter
ests whose treasures are always
open 10 the managers or the he
publican campaign fund, they will
say che is all that is admirable,
but hardly to be trusted-too rad
lcal. you know; too apt to prove
headstrong, in word not quite

other hand, has the implicit conf
dence of these interests and he has
the support of practically all the
