Words OF Wisdom From the Hon.
Jesse OvrrStreet.

1t is well known that subcommittee
Of five is charged with the special con-
sideration and temporary custody Of all
the House bills relating to Federal con-
troll Of the corporations referred in the
regular order to the Committee on the
Judiciary The central figure of the
subcommittee Is, of course, the Hon.
CHARLES +. LTTTLEFIELD Of Maine, the
foremost of living trust-repressors He
is assisted by Mr.. OvERsTREET Of Indiana
and Mr.. POWERS Of Massachusetts, Re-
publicans. and Mr.. DE ARMoND Of Mis-
souri, and Mr.. CLAYTON Of Alabama,
Democrats.
The mere clerical labor Of classifying.
cataloguing, indexing and pGeon-holing
the multifarious measures committed
to these five gentlemen must be enor-
nous, to say nothing Of the greater task
Of examining and Intellectually assim-
Hating item. Mr.. LITTLEFIELD's ca
pacity for rapid and continuous per-
Torrance is notorious, and his efforts in
this part ocular field are sustained by an
inexhaust bile enthusiasm but there are
only fourteen Hundred and forty min
utes in the day and only seven days in
the week A considerable share of the
work must fall upon his colleagues,
mainly, we suppose, on MIR. OvERsTREET
and Mr., POWERS. inasmuch as the two
Democrats figure to some extent as hos
tile partisans and therefore not wholly
sympathetic critics. They must in the
nature of things be watching fora chance
to put Mr.. LITTLEFIELD in u hole. or to
tangle him up with the purpose Of gain
ing a political advantage over him.
The indianapolis journal prints an
interesting interview with Congress-
man OvERsTREEr, who has been at home
for Christmas. According to his state
ment the subcommittee has not yet
made much progress toward the goal
which Mr.. LlTTLEFIELD has in view. Mr..
OvERsTREET says candidly Of the trust
questions:
60" q IS one that n Is very ctSy 10 hinilc on the
stump. anu the campai gn orators can denounce
the c'il with gllttcrng gcnerullues and bitter In
see We ina, sound we'll end apparently solve the
whole problem but when Il cones TO iee,slatc
against truss II Is altogether another proposition
The law that is adopted should curb the harmful
tendencies OF organized Industry, but a, the same
time II should no, disturb the good features In
other words the statute should be tina, will hi,
nItn's n deer and miss !, liits calf"
To frame law That will unerringly hit
the deer and invariably miss the calf
Mr.. OvERsTREET properly regards as
one of the most difficult tasks that has
ever confronted Congress. This IL
especially true when no hunter OF trusts
IN able to explain distinctly what is veni.
