Kent News of Dover Defends
Correspondent and Asks
Parsons Questions
Special to The Eveninr journal.


Dover Nov. 25.-The Delaware State
News, an independent paUer which has
kept out OF politics. win to-day editorially
defend Is correspondent Of last week who
was attacked by the ministers because he
intimated that pillars in the churches had
stepped their. hands in vote buying and
corruption of the electorate. The News
has to declare against the wholesale traf-
fc IN men. 1t says. in referring to its
correspondents charges
THE Evening Journal offered to fur
nish the evidence that sucn was the con-
dition. and Il seems that the proffer so
far has not been accepted. Suppose we
would heartily endorse the substance of
the communication and stand ready to do
our par to supply the information, what
viii the Local ministers or the ministry
of Kent county, do with the text Of the
article? Suppose we would make the as
sertion. and back it by evidence that a
minister OF the gospel. having a charge in
this county, was approached by a leader
OF one of the parties and was offered
money for his influence toward accom-
plishing certain things; and further, # It
were known that the aforesaid minister
was not cOlored, but as white as a lily,
and tha- he Indignantly spurned the offer,
then what would you say? Suppose we
should cut right to the core I'm this mat
ter, wouldn't somebody vince before the
curtain was closed. don't you think? How
do you suppose the $50 600 that it is al
legged was spent In Kent county get into
circulation? Did those who sold out do
their own distributing? The article as
written we suppose applied more directly
to condition that obtained in the local
ity where it was written, one Of the hot
test contested districts in the county; but
we endorse its purport and say its appli-
cation may be general in these days OF
political degeneration"

PRESIDENTS IDEA
OF TRUST ISSUE
Some of Recommendations
Which Mr.. Roosevelt Will
Make to Congress
.TO SUGGEST NUMEROUS REMEDIES

Washington. d. c., Nov 25.-Those
who have been expecting that the an
nual message of President Roosevelt
will be a duh and indecisive document
will be disappointed The message
will take grounds of no uncertain ma
tire on some of the great subjects
which have attracted wide attention
during the last congressional cam
paign.
Public interest naturally centres on
what the president win say regarding
trusts. In recent speeches the presi-
dent has given views very freely on
this subject and his recommendations
to congress are expected to follow the
lines thus laid down as well as those
suggested by Attorney General Knox
in his address before the Pittsburg
chamber Of commerce on October IA.
The evils which the president will
ask congress to regulate are overcapi-
talization. lack of publicity, Giscrlmi
nation in prices to destroy competi-
tion. insufficient personal responsible
ity of officers and directors, tendency
to monopoly and to disregard of the
rights of the people.
The remedies to be suggested will
embody requirements upon corpora
| tions 90 do business in every state and
locality upon precisely the same terms
and conditions; prohibition OF discrlm-
ination in prices and preference in
service; requirements upon public car
riers to keep the avenues of commerce
free and open to all upon the same
terms, and a requirement upon corpo-
rations upon which the people depend
for the necessaries of life to conduct
their business so as regularly and
reasonably to supply the public needs.
All these things, the president will
hold. can be accomplished within the
constitution by proper amendments
to the Sherman antitrust law.
President Roosevelt will undoubted-
ly have something to say about the
tariff but his utterances on this are
subject to revision. He will probably
make no recommendation as to the
altering of any schedules. although he
may take the ground that there is
some reason in the complaint that
some schedules are too high and 9th
ers have a tendency to foster monop.
oily.
It is understood that the president
will devote a large portion of his mes
sage to relations OF labor and capital
There has been long and anxious dis
cussion between the president and his
friends whether he should make rec
ommendation for legislation. He has
been urged TO advise congress to pass
a bill providing for arbitration OF
great strikes and disputes where inter
state commerce may be involved.
President Roosevelt will put the fin
fishing touches TO his message today
The document is practically completed
now. but it is the presidents desire
finally to consult several of the lead
ers in both branches of. congress as
to one or two features of the message
before he commits it to the hands OF
the printer. Yesterday was a day oi
conferences at the executive Offices
The president arrived in his Office
early and soon was besieged by call
ers. With several senators and repre-
sentatlves he had engagements and
he declined to see all others.
