He Writes Of his Conversation with Jack
Psrrott, who Has Been In Poll
ties at Washington.
Jack Parrott il hoam fer vaka-
shun and dropt in to sea me last nits,
and of koors we got to tawking polly
ticks. Jack waz fealing joobillant
oaver the antytrust laws just passd BY
kongress. I diddent feal so shoor
thet ennything he'd RELY bin dun and
sed SO. Jack lookd at me kinder pit
tying like and sed:
"It Shoes plane enun thet yu hev-
vent had my oppertewnitys fer getting
owt in the wurld and Citing on to tho
way things il dun in he-pollytickel
wurld. The Republican party promisd
TO reggerlait the trusts and it hez dun
it. Tedd sed it must be dun in seoh
way ez not to hurt the deer things,
and hiz wurd waz rememberd. Hev
yu notisd emmy drop in the market
kwotashuns of trust stock? Marry .
drop. We passd antytrust lejislay-
shun, but yu woodent hev moan it by
looking at the tickers in Waul Streat.
Bizness thar went on ez if nothing had
happend. Now yu no thar aint emmy
plais in the wurld whar the peepel
wood no kwicker If ennything thret-
tend to redoos the urnings Of tho
trusts. Them fellers amt in bizness
fer THAR helth. Thay haint got No
sentymentel fealings on the subjekt.
Thay jest talk led pensil and figger
up the probbabel profits to be ewsd
ez divvydends fer the next yeer. If il
shoas up good thay buy. If emmy
thing il likely to redoos thoas prof.
fits thay ar nifty kwick to sell owt,
and the result il q tumbel in prises.
Thet il to me the planest sine thet the
trusts wont be hurt none by this anty-
trust lejislayshun, whitoh of koors
| waz the prinsippel thing to be lookd
owt fer in making up the law. Yu
diddent heer ennything abowt Morgan
dropping ded from hart failewr when
the law waz passd, did yu? Not
mutch. He IL Getting hiz meels regge-
Ter and enjoying life furstrait. Rookie
feller haint complained of hiz STUN
mick being emmy wurs and he haint re-
doosd the prise of lie to emmy notissa-
bel existent. Yu diddent heer emmy
t dull thudd kawsd by Jim Hill drop
ping the nurjer, did yu? He il j..
hanging on to it with the saim old
grip. Don't stheas things shoe thet the
bills waz successful in -reggerlaiting
the trusts without doing them emmy
harm? The republican party hez kept
its wurd to the peepel by reggerlait-
! ing the trusts, and it hez awlso kept
it's wurd to the trusts by not doing
them emmy harm. konsiader this the
gratest ryumph of craftsmanship thet
l hev ever layd my ize on"
"Yu ar ondowtedly rite," sed L.
"Paneless opperayshuns ar the order
of the day now, and sea it hez bin
ekstended to pollyti It seams to
wurk on the saim prinsippel ez owr
sitty dads ews in regard to the slikker
traid-keapisg an eye on it but not
hurting it. spoas the party will ek-
stend the ideer to every lawbraiker.
We will soon hev ipjunkshuns survd
on theevs, forbidding them to steel,
but removing the krimminel klaws OF
the laws agin it. If man kommits
murder he will be hit with an injunk-
shun forbidding him to do it again
and if he repeets the deed he will be
deprivd of the rite of doing business
unless in the opinyun of the koort II
wood kaws too mutch hardship. Oh,
kin sea q better day dawning, when
we will lay aside awl the brootalllty
thet hez hitherto bin shoan in owl
laws, and do bizness in thet line in q
kind and hewmaln way thet wont hurt
| ennyboddy. I am nifty glad yu hev
eksplaned theas things so kleerly,
Jack. To my mind it seamd ez it the
trust kahn in fer moar konsidderay'
shun than the peepel got.''
'.They do" sed Jack. 'tIt il own1y
natewrel thet thay shood. The wurld
IL full of peepel and eksperyens hez
shoan thet thay will awlwaze mannaij
to liv in sum way. Tharfoar it il on
nessairy to think mutch of them. But
the trusts ar q new and tender plant
reerd in the hothows of speshiel lejis'
layshun. We don't no what sudder
koald blast mite do to them and we hey
got to be kairful abo vt them. Yessir
we think of them in the first plais ap6
we wood think ownly Of them if it waz
zent fer the fakt thet the peepel XII
voat and it il tharfoar nessessairy tt
