NO CAUSE FOR JEALOUSY.

The furnace of jealousy is roaring down in Wash
ngton D. c., because of the soaring ambition of many
statesmen to be known king trust busters.
Congressman Littefeld of Maine, the author Of the
bill which has deadly aim against trusts thereafter
ganized the bill which received hearty trust support
and passed the house 25 to jealous that he has
become an administration nsurgent.
He is especially indignant at Attorney General
Knox and President Roosevelt. The two latter func-
tionaries attempted whack Lttlefeds creation into
shape giving to the job six weeks of valuable time. Lit
tlehed carefully deposited their amendments in the
waste basket and substituted his phraseoogy At
torney General Knox cruel to declare that
Llttlehelds bill is not only mpracticabe, but unconst
tutlona. Mr. Lttleheld, the other hand, declares
that Knox corporation and trust attorney and that
President Roosevelt would do well to attend to the
ecutve department of the government and allow
gress to manage its affairs.
Speaker Henderson is another insurgent who thinks
his craftsmanship is underrated and that Roosevelt and
Knox have other business mind instead of attempt
ing to congress- He looks upon the president and
his legal adviser responsible for the dsagreeable
stories the effect that he and Rockefeller against
all trust legislation
AS matter of fact, however, Mr.. Littlefeld has
not the slightest ground for jealousy and Speaker Hen
derson has the least excuse for being provoked
the charge of being opposed the proposed trust
buster" bills.
There is not of these bills that will rebound
the credit of anybody from trustbusng standpoint.
Moreover, any consistent antitrust advocate could
consistently oppose the bills the trusts unanimously
support them.
Neither Littlefeld Henderson has ground for
any complaint far the authorship the oppos-
ton to these "trust busters is concerned There is
nothing to be jealous 1t is part of the public
may be fooled for time, but only small fraction and
that not long.
If Messrs. Litt1efeld and Henderson actually de-
sire fame for doing something practicable in the drec
ton OF trust reform, let them support the proposition
remove tariff protection from truSt-controled goods
They will then have chance to fight the trusts in
earnest

TRUST BUSTER" NO. I.

Considering the Littlefed BILL which passed the
lower house last Saturday by vote of 245 to o,
Trust Buster" No. 2, the Nelson amendment to
the department of BILL which has passed
both houses may be considered as No l. The
Nelson bill passed the house practically without oppos
ton the vote favorng the adoption of the conference
report being to and likewise is agreed to in the
senate
1t is interesting that one of the 10 "noes"
the house cast by Representative Littefeld the
author of Trust Buster" No 2.
The opposition of Littlefeld and six eight Demo-
Gratis is based the ground that the bill has no man
datory force to accomplish anything Senator Nelson
admits of the weaknesses notably that which fails
to provide for any penalty in trust declines
make its records public. On this and other grounds
doubtless, all Of the trust attorneys in the houses
have seen fit to give the bill their support.
The bill adds a corporation commissioner to the de-
parmet of commerce, who is authorized receive the
annual reports of the corporations for the information
of the president for the purpose of assisting the
make intelligent recommendations to congress on trust
matters The information collected by the commission
er is not made public unless the president himself
fit so to do. In other words, the bill establishes
statistcian for the assistance of the president.
Mr.. Littlefeld states that any trust representative
consistently support this bill That being true
likewise fact that every trust representative in
voted for the Littefe1d bill AS matter of fact
every alleged ANTITRUST bill drafted by the Republican
side of the house in the present congress has the
dial trust support There is trust opposition to one
of them.
Senator Nelson's BILL while admittedly weak and of
little force is probably constitutional and makes some
progress 1t establishes at least statistical bureau
which may be of educational value The Little
field bill scarcely pretends to be constitutional.
So far practical and effective trust reform goes it
Is now oregone conclusion that there will be nothing
done by this congress- except with the direct approval
of the trusts themselves The legislation will be emf
nently safe from the trust point of view. But the
Nelson and Capp bills the providing for trust sta
tistcs and the other prohibiting discrimination will
have practical value from business and statistical
standpoint.

PRESIDENT ELIoT's ANXIETY.

For who gets the wrong side SO often
President Eliot of Harvard rushes print with great

college and university may be depopulators, in other
words may be productive of bachelors and bachelor
life rather than conducive to matrimony
In ORDER as he intimates meet this objection he
proposes tc shorten the fouryear university academic
course to three years It is difficult see how this re-
form will produce results 1t is interesting question:
by the whether the prime object of President Eliot

OF facilitating the production of population or for pop
ularizing his institution which late years has been
receiving close competition from the standpoint of num-
bers, at least from the West. AS against Harvards

The co-educaonal institutions experience none of the

institutions, like President Eots. Presidents Northrop

His debates with Douglas. In q

be elected United States senator by
the Illinois legislature to be chosen in
November of that year But in a ma
tional sense it had a much broader and
deeped meaning and effect. 1t was
certain to have an influential share in
the final decision of the great national
controversy, whether or not future
slave states should be added to the
Union. The controversy was then al
ready in it's fifth year.

Remarkable speech at the Cooper in

end, dare to do our duty as we under
stand it," He showed most clearly that
the unbroken record of the founders
of the republic were in favor Of the
restriction of slavery and against it's
extension. This speech widened his
reputation as an anti-slavery leader
and promoted his nomination a few
months later at Chicago to the presi-
dency.
