ment that the reason he received Just
half the reward given to Lord Roberts
was that the nation had some big work
cut out for him to do and wanted to
save some prizes for him to try for. 1t
comes pretty straight from parliament
tary Hobbies that the big work" is
nothing less than job that proved too
much for Kitcheners predecessors as
national military idols, Lord Wolseley
and Earl Roberts.
Here at last is the man, all England
believes, who can clean out the war
Office regardless of the personal consid-
erations that have proved an insur-
mountable obstacle to Wolseley and
Roberts, man who can knock the
heads of fussy civilian officials togeth-
er without conjunction and who
doesn't care rap how many society
ladies are offended by rough treatment
for their proteges.
There is no doubt that 1t is the wish
Of the king and his cabinet to make
the Duke of Connaught, the kings
only brother, commander in chief of
the army on the retirement of Lord
Roberts, whose resignation is expected
to come any day.
Kitchener, it is understood, Is slated
for the post of commander in chief of
the forces in India. But the public has
to be reckoned with. If the powers
that be think that John Bull will stand
it, the royal duke will be made com.
mander in chief. If, on the other hand
the temper of the public demands Lord
Kitchener, into the war office he will
60 forthwith.
That Kitchener would be an ideal
man at the war Office Is freely admit.
| ted by those who have not always ap
| preciated his methods of warfare. Even
those who described him as ''the butch
| er of Omdurman" see in him the only
| possible man for commander in chief
for he combines three great essential
qualities-he has proved himself to be
| soldier, statesman and business
man-and if he were put in control OF
the war office he would turn the place
inside out.

1t is refreshing to look for a moment
outside of our local squabbles and see
what outsiders think of our national
situation. In recent issue the Mon
treal Star says:
A political party in opposition is al
ways more dependent on cry than the
party in power. They want to put the
other fellows out, and naturally they are
expected to say why. The party i'll
power wants to stay in, but is not called
upon, in the same way, to justify that
very natural feeling. 1t is becoming
increasingly difficult, however, as we ex-
planned short time ago, for opposition
to have distinctive policy of their
own; seeing that the party in power is
on the watch all the time to appropriate
any policy that is likely to prove popu-
lar. The Democrats in the United
States are today in the difficult position
we have described. The only thing they
are able to think of that can be used as
cry is opposition to the Trusts but
no sooner have they begun to appeal to
the country vigorously on this line than
it is announced that President Roose-
welt is very strongly impressed with the
necessity of curbing the Trusts, and
that he and his Acknowledgement are
deep in the consideration of some dras-
tic measure for that purpose. The only
advantage the Democrats possess is that
they are free to attack the tariff which
gives so mighty an advantage to the
Trusts, while President Roosevelt is not
The tariff to him is something almost
sacred, sort of Ark of the Covenant
for the people of the United States.
The Star also says in relation tc
trusts:
One would think that when both 20
litical parties are thus bent on disciplin
ing the Trusts and keeping them within
bounds, there ought not to be mucl
: difficulty about it. There is difficulty
however. Great is the power of none,
upon legislation. The Senators in thu
United States are all wealthy men, an,
wealth sympathiseS with wealth. Apar
from this there are difficulties inheren
in the nature of the problem. 1t is jus
twelve years since very comprehensiv,
Federal Antitrust Act, which is still 0,
the Statute Book, was passed; and al
the leading States in the Union have a

The Trusts, meanwhile, instead O
dwindling, have greatly increased il
number and in magnitude. The practi
cal problem is how to frame law whicl
shall fetter trust without crippling OF
binary trade. The Trusts in genera
only do, or aim at doing, what individual
traders do-that is to say, carry on bus
ness on the most advantageous term
possible. The peculiar feature in thei
case is that they are able by the vas
amount of capital they command to di.
courage, if not destroy, competition
The strong individual trader, however
does the same thing within the radir
