THE REPUBLICAN BLUFF
NOTHING TO BE DONE AGAINST
THE TRUSTS.
Real Leaders Are Opposed to Antaooniz-
ing the Capitalistic Class and viii
Not Permit It.

Washington, July 13.-The president at
tempt to make out that vigorous anti
trust campaign will be waged by Presi.
dent Roosevelt this autumn and during the
next session Of congress continues to arouse
good deal of surprise and interest In
many quarters In Washington Many re-
gard 1t merely as an attempt to weaken
democratic issue Now that the participa.
ton Of Mr.. LittleHeld In this campaign
has been completely dscredted. the rumors
have assumed a new form. 1t is Mr. Knox
who is merely working on the Litteheld
hill'' In order to improve It, that he may
draft a better one and lay out complete
plau Of attack upon the trusts for the next
session. Few Of the higher government
officers are willing to give the slightest
credcnct to this new form OF antitrust 10
gend. They do not doubt that the Little
field ill may have been looked over with
the idea of seeing what there was In it, or
that Attorney General Knox may make Il
few speeches in the autumn. The prospect
that any antitrust bill is certain, or even
likely, to be passed next session by the
republicans they, however. regard as very
problematic.
One well known Federal Official who
discussed the subject today, said that IN
his opinion it ought to he perfectly plain
that whether any antitrust action Is taken
next winter or not Will depend largely
upon the outcome OF the election. Should
a democratic majority be established in
the house, and that contingency is 10y no
means impossible, 1t might have the eject
| of influencing that body into passing a
MEASURE, and that might have the same OF
| feet on the senate. Or when the demo
cratic house actually came together year
! later, II nothing had been done in the
meantime, 1t might be expected that an
! antitrust bill would be passed and. If
/ popular cutlery had been loud enough in
/ the meantime, such feature might be
/ forced upon the senate by general demand
| On the other hand, he pointed out, in
| case the republicans come back In full
force in the winter, there viii be no more
reason why antitrust legislation should he
adopted than at the present session No
| definite party pledges are going to be
| given on the subject unless by the admin.
istraton itself, and the experience with
reciprocity last winter shows well enough
what are the limits to the administrations

Mr.. Workman gave further explanation
OF his scheme which, with the indorse-
ment OF the State superintendent, he con
sIders VIII at once appeal TO spirit Of
State pride, which is strongly developed
Ia the child at school, and which he feels
sure will produce grand results for the
fund and for the State.
.-Those children who contribute through
the nickel fund.-" he said, will have
their reward, for under this plan Of con
tribution It Is proposed 10 place memo
rial window or tablet in the Texas building
at st. Louis, commemorative Of the act,
which will be an appropriate testimonial
OF the united work of the children.
There are 775,0O0 children OF school age
IN Texas and an average contribution of a
nickel each Will amount TO over S35,0O0,
which will be quite factor in making up
the total amount.
Superintendent Lefevre is heartily in
favor OF the project and when have eiab-

matter before the principals, school trus-
tees and county superlntendents, and by

tons by Rev. Henry D. Ayes.
At the morning service in Christ Epls-

course was replcte with interest and the
theme was recognized as being peculiarly

ticularly 10 the labor troubles of the day
but his address was solid argument for
freedom of discussion. lie regarded arbl-
tratloh as the most equitable plan of deal
lng with all labor troubles. Trusts and
the entertainments OF capital upon the
rights of Wurklngmen he sternly dcbuked
ana he upheld the lnboring men I'm ali
thelr lust demands, counselllng them at
the same time TO be temperate and true
TO themselves for then they could not be
unfalthfnl to their employers. lie called
attention to the fact that distinction be-
tween capital aud labor has often been
attempted To be established on falacious
theories aud dangerous In their results
The capitalist whose resources are In ac-
i've operation may he also laborer. He
defended the principle of union and ac-
kuoWledge the great good derived from
labor organizations when they were hou-
estly conducted for the defense and acqui-
sltiou OF lust privileges and rewards.
