yours, GEORGE F. EDMUNDS."
.-t ANALYSIS OF SITUATION.
These were the concluding paragraphs Of
the editorial:
THE people Of the United States have such
high respect for the opinion and character
OF Senator Edmunds that they Will very
generally believe what he says on this inn
portant question. His letter reveals the
tremendous influence which the most
powerful corporations have welded. not
only in our State legislatures. in executive
chambers and in the halls Of Congress, but
also in the highest departments Of the Fed
eral Government. including the judiciary tt
self. The question the people are asking
now is. how far reaching are these in
fiuences to-day?
''If Senator Edmunds is right. and we be-
lieve he is. the President and the Attorney
General can more speedily suppress and reg
ulate all law-defying trusts by the vigorous
administration Of existing statutes than by
suggesting more drastic and still more ex-
perimental legislation to a Congress that Is
apparently In no mood and. perhaps. in no
condition to legislate on a subject Of para
mount interest to the American people.

Christian Science is founded on the
scriptures. 1t throws the light Of spir-
itual Interpretation upon the Bible
from Genesis TO Revelations. II re-
veals clearly the divine plan of atone
ment, the advancing Messiah as the
Impersonal Christ marching majestic
cally down the centuries a. the divine
purifier and healer OF mankind.
Christian Science stands for the relig-
ion Of Jesus. for the equality Of the
sexes, for the establishment and main
tenance Of universal peace among the
nations Of the earth. 1t exalts the
practical ideals Of freedom, personal
purity. sound morality and christian
democracy. 1t proclaims the gospel
Of good thinking. true living, and the
contagion OF health and happiness. 1t
elevatss the ideals OF honesty, iudiyid-

placing truth above authority in the
religions. 1t condemns the use Of fear
as means Of the evolution Of either
right living or moral obedience, hence
