LIFE is LOVE.

Life is love. and time Is giving
Voice to Eden's whispered song,
And the choral lips Of living
Laugh in music loud and long.
Wrong are they who bind life's story
To some sad. funeral strain:
Life came singing out OF glory.
Shall go singing back again.
What although the voice OF signing
Undertones the sweetest bars
OF that anthem life is trying
To lift up beyond the stars
lis that undertone of sadness,
Throbbing through the lips OF care,
Which uplifts life's song OF gladness
Till II holds en- angels prayer.
Nature writes her notes in flowers,
Making hymnals without words.
Which in joys hymeneal hours
Are translated by the birds;
And life lifts these ever higher,
Reaching for the heart of love,
Thrilling. trilling like a Tyre
Chorded to a song above;
Then. fuil-throated. lift from under
Bass and tenor till they roll
On resounding waves of thunder
Upward from the human soul.
Life is love and love immortal
Riseth singing from the sod
Flyeth singing through the portal
OF the harmonies of God.

THE PRESIDENTS olLEUnA.

The trusts have grown so insolent
that they and their henchmen vigor-
ously resent the very idea that any
legislation should be passed to regu-
late them. President Roosevelt in his
trip through New England took occa-
sion to touch upon this problem to
some extent. He was certainly very
conservative, repeatedly stating that
nothing should be done to hamper the
legitimate business of corporations
or prevent the combination of capital
which he thinks necessary for man.
tanning In American supremacy in the
industrial world. But he did sug-
gest very mildly that there ought to
be publicity in the affairs of trusts or
corporations and that it might be
necessary to amend the constitution
to give the general government super
vision of their affairs.
So very careful was the president in
his statements of the rights of the
trusts that democrats and populists
saw in his remarks an evident attempt
on his part to assure the corporations
that he was their friend. But the
trusts did not like it. They prefer
Mark Hanna's position, denying the
existence of trusts, thus wiping out
the problem at once. Harper's Week
ly, one of the most servile tools Iof
plutocracy, says: ''The proposal is
the most revolutionary one that has
ever been put forward by an official
spokesman of great political party
in this country. The remedy
would prove incomparably worse than
the disease \ It would wreck
the country with industrial and finan-
cial commissions by harassing through
evidently futile efforts to dictate
prices"
To this the Commercial West,
another mouthpiece of plutocracy,
adds:
ut begins to look after all as if the
presidential campaign next year may
be contested holly. There is q great
principle of business control at stake,

with the assurance that they have now
something definite to fight for, and
men who would refuse to spend fur
ther time and effort to promote an in
definite program in the mere hope of a
questionable temporary success gave
assurance that they were still in the
fight for their principles. Mr.. Neigh
en- will visit different portions of the
state before the election and rally the
forces in the old strongholds and Mr..
Hompe, vigorous old time cam
paigner, has promised to spend the
month of October spreading the Cos
pei OF free government in the state.
The sacrifices made by these men to
hold the reform party banner aloft in
the day when the less courageous
members of the party are standing
aloof will never be forgotten. There
is better time a-coming. It is al
ways darkest just before the dawn.
The dawn is beginning to break. Grid
your loins for the fight. The trim
mers and politicians for revenue only
have deserted US. The time for the
manhood of the state to assert itself
IS here. The time to volunteer for the
battle Is not after the battle is won
but before the pitched battle opens.
The state committee will open its cam
paign during the week, with the limit
ed means at hand. The battle will
not be less warmly contested because
the force is small. Let those who wish
to see the best possible stand made
volunteer their services and of the
means they can spare. Mr.. Meighen
will prepare an address and hand the
same to the press before the week is
out and he promises to make his posi-
ton so plain, and the line of demarka-
ton SO distinct that no populist need
be in doubt as to the proper course to
take. The two old parties are en-
gagged In q sham battle over the con-
troll of the trusts. Rival railroad syn
dicates are backing the rival can
didates. Will populists threw away
their independent position and enter
into scramble to assist one of two
private monopolies to gain the ascen-
dancy over the other? All logical re-
formers will plant their votes where
they will count for the true remedy.
No man~will ever regret voting the
peoples party ticket in Minnesota this

issue, and on this question the great
parties will split squarely in the mid

"We think that no matter how strong
personal admiration for President
Roosevelt may be-and this paper
yields to no other on that score-if
the trust issue seeks the line of social
ism, where the presidents suggestions
are surely taking it, there will be an
upheaval in this country such as will
make tame the free silver campaign of
of 1885,"
This is serving plain notice on Pres
ident Roosevelt that he must quit
talking about trusts, or they will see
that he gets defeated either in the
convention or in the election. Hence
the eagerness of the plutocrats to get
control of the democratic party in
order to use that as a club to force
the republicans to tame Roosevelt or
drop him, or else see Cleveland
democrat elected.
President Roosevelt has now the
chance of lifetime to prove whether
he is q statesman or q mere politician.
If he really means to fight the trusts
he should pick up the gauntlet thus
defiantly thrown at him. It might
cause his defeat, but it would bring
the subject SO strongly before the
American people that it could not be
ignored or temporized with. It would
have to be settled, and settled right.
If he is statesman he ought to look
more to the interests of the nation
han to his own chances. If he tenn
porizes, If he makes any explanation
tending to mollify the trusts we shall
know that his talk has been merely
buncombe intended to soothe the
people and lull them to sleep.
Regardless of party the American
people as q whole would be pleased to
see Roosevelt accept the challenge
and force the issue. If the fight is
'precipitated we can be sure that the
momentum will carry the president
for beyond the ground he is timorous-
ly treading on.
The American people will anxious.
ly wait to see If the presidents utter
ances are to be taken seriously" The
Commercial West seems to have some
doubt on the subject and the oppo-
nents OF the trusts are in the same
condition Of mind. The president will
have the opportunity during his west
ern trip to talk right out.-Forum.
