A TRUST VIEW OF THE MESSAGE.

Making good our statements Of yes
torday that President Roosevelt's RENE.
dies for trust evils are but quack medi'
cines, and that he can be depended on
10 recommend no legislation that will
hurt the combines, we reproduce below
some remarks of the New York Sun.
The sun is. par excellence, the or
gan Of the trusts; 1t does not play the
hypocrltc about it, either, It does not
stand upon the defensive in regard TO
them, or apologize for letting them ex-
ist. It does not pretend that thore are
good trusts and bad trusts, or that
trusts have each good and an evil
side 1t takes the ground that, whether
good or bad, they are legal entities,
standing upon their lawful rights, and
that they are not to be snarlcd at by
the envious, or cried down simply be.
cause they are great and powerful.
The Sun too, has q phenomenal ca.
paCity as a sitter in the seat OF the
hcorner 1t makes game Of the Presi-
dents nostrums, to the very verge OF
respeotfulness, and It does this because
as the trust organ it is safe in doing
So 1t knows perfectly well that all tho
oracular deliveranccs of the message
will fall on deaf ears in Congress and
bs totally inert in outcome,
For that paper of all others, s,-thG
Btaunch champion of combines, TO twit
Attorney General Knox with being an
"astute and sophisticated old corpora
ton lawyer" is indeed unkind. II IL

parting dig at Roosevelt, wherein that

astute and sophisticated old corpora
tlon lawyer, Attorney General Knox,
as he did on a recent occasion in the
hands of the Hon. "Ho" Collier in the
Mississippi swamps. He suddenly
but not inconsiderately, seizes upon the
ingenious method of postponing con-
tact with an insurmountabe obstacle

stitutionally, based on a juggled theory
of the extent of constitutional power
under the clause empowering Con.
gress to regulate commerce between
the States the enactment and the at
tempted enforcement of the probably
unconstitutional measure, and its
reference to the Judiciary for a de.
cision as to its validity; the patient
awaiting of results from the slow
process leading to final adjudication
by the Supreme Court of the United
States; and then, in the probable event
of n decision that by no twist of Mr..
Knox's experienced corporation mind
can power TO regulate interstate com
merce be made to include production
within the states merely because the
producers sometimes engage in inter-
state commerce; return in the more

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

The possibility of securing an cleo
trio line through the acceptance of
the proposition submitted by Mr.. Col
Inns, is beginning to look very bright.
Late yesterday afternoon over $50, 600
had been subscribed to the stock to be
raised, and the committee was assum-
ing most hopeful view of the matter,
as they really have from the first. As
we have before said, it is Mankato's
great opportunity. If accepted it
means that we go right ahead. Ii
passed by, it means that the city will
simply drag along with little growth.
Mr.. Hixon struck the key note to the
whole situation at the meeting last
Tuedsay morning, when he said that
Mankato ought to be to southern Min
nesota what Duluth is to the northern
part of the state. And it should in
all respects, barring the advantages
which Duluth has from it's water con-
nections. We should have, as Mr..
Funk well put it, some municipal self
esteem. We are located in the midst
of we'll developed country, and there
is no reason at all, why Mankato
should not be the center of business
activity for that section, a distribu-
ting point and manufacturing CEN
ter. This it can be by the acceptance
of this proposition, for it means the
beginning of new era for the city,
an era of expansion along lines which
naturally belongs to it. Every person
who can possibly take a share of the
stock should do so, for what benefits
the city, will either directly or in
directly benefit each and every citizen.
The first days of next week should see
every dollar of the S45, 600 subscribed,
and they will if all pull together
in this matter which means SO much
to the city's future,

A German writer Of a current maya
zine article on Germany Political
Turning Point" referring to the new
tariff bill which is under discussion
there, says it is the proposition of the
agrarian class, and is opposed to a
considerable extent by the manufac-
turing and laboring classes. But the
owners of large estates there he says,
who do not look after them as they
should. lay the blame for their i'm
poverished condition upon the grow
ing competition of the United States,
rather than their own neglect and
lack of proper management. There
is strong probability, he says.
"that, if the majority of these mort
gage-ridden lords of the soil, who are
putting all the blame for their gradual
impoverishment upon the competition
of the United States, were to give up
their careless and spendthrift modes
of living, their haphazard methods OF
managing their estates, and to intro
duce rigid economy. modern methods
of tilling the soil, and give their an
divided attention to agriculture, they
might succeed within q number OF
years in putting their estates upon q
paying basis, without much aid from
the government. But they find it easier
and pleasanter, of course, to gel

sugar and spirits, and bigger export

penses and the interest on mortgage

THE OUTCOME MIXED.

It is difficult to tell just at present
how the contest that is going on at
Washington over concession to Cuba
will come out There seems to be no
question but that the contention of the
administration for some concession to
that island, is the correct one. The
difficulty is to get the different ele-
ments in congress together on the prop
osition. The trouble seems to be that
the proposition cannot be- brought up
alone upon its merits If it could, there
would probably be no difficulty in dis
posing of it upon some satisfactory
basis. The view of the friends of the
move for a concession is that it be
brought up in the house under rule
limiting debate, and prohibiting
amendment. To this the western
members who have been opposing the
scheme object and it is claimed they
will be able to defeat it, and allow the
consideration of the measure free to
amendment. This would doubtless re-
suit in the offering of Babcock's steel
schedule as an amendment, and also
one placing wood pulp on the free list,
and greatly reducing the duty on glass,
if not wiping it out altogether. We
also understand that in such case,
Representative McCleary would doubt
less offer an amendment reducing the
tariff on lumber to 81 per thousand,
or removing it altogether. A move
of this kind would of course, precipi-
tate an extended tariff discussion, and
the matter of Cuban relief would
doubtless be lost sight of altogether.
To mix matters still more, it is said
that senate leaders have served notice
on Speaker Henderson and Representa-
tive Cannon, chairman Of the Republi-
can house caucus, that the senate will
not pass any Cuban relief bill, whether
reciprocity or rebate This injects
another feature Into the case, as it
has all along been supposed that
the senate was favorable to some con-
cession to Cuba.
| If there are members of the house OF
senate who think that by dropping the
matter of relief to Cuba, the tariff
issue can be evaded next fall, they
ought at once to relieve themselves OF
such belief. The Free Press does not
see wherein the Republicans have any
thing to fear from the tariff issue, il
taken along common sense lines.
There are some articles upon which
the duty should be largely reduced, o.
removed from altogether. To take
such stand is not abandoning the
principle of protection but really
STRENGTHENING it. Take the duty OF
lumber, for instance, it could be re
moved altogether without any harm
to any interest, while other schedules
need revising as our industrial pro
gress has been rapid since the enact
ing of the Dingley law and changed
conditions greatly. But really thu
matter of relief for Cuba which is
sort of a pledge from the UniteC
States, ought to be consid red at one
and aside from any matter of tariff
revision.

ALL RUN DOWN
Weak, Nervous and DebiIitated

To the many sufferers from the after
effects Of grip who have sought in vain
for relief, the facts stated in the follow
ing interview will be of great interest.
Mrs. Emily J. Black lives at No. 8
Howard Street, Brewer, Me. She had q
severe attack Of the grip, the winter be-
fore last, which left her weak, nervous
and debilitated. Nothing seemed to
help her and, growing worse and worse,
she almost gave up hope of ever being
well again, until she tried remedy
which has brought relief to thousands Of
similarly affected people. When inter-
viewed by a Commercial reporter she
said:
"More than year ago had severe
attack Of the grip which left me in bad
shape. Everything I ate distressed me
so much that I could not bear to take
food, and thought I must starve. I
had numbness in my limbs and could
