would be any danger Of hurting his

good while before there are any definite
results Of the inquiries Of the bureau
OF corporations.
Is there anything In this statement
to frishten the trusts? Is it not clear
that this new bureau will give the trusts
two years more leeway-two years more
license to squeeze the people and ex-
tract money from their pockets-two
years at 81 900 900 900 year? And what
then? Publicity. That's all, and more
than all, for it is entirely optional with
the president whether any of the facts
gathered by the bureau are ever pub
lished or not. But the facts, when pub
lished. are intended to serve only as a
basis for conservative" antitrust legis-
lation sometime in the dim and distant
future.
President Roosevelt fighting the
trusts? He is their best friend. He,
as no other man living, knows how to
tackle them and at the same time make

CONTROLLED BY TRUSTS.
Bureau of Corporations Operated by
Roosevelt to Perpetuate
Their Graft.

II President Roosevelt is reelected
next year it will be simply and solely
because majority of the voters sin
cerely believe that he is helping them
to fight their battle with the trusts. So
odious have the hundreds Of protected
trusts become, both in the eyes of con-
sumers and investors, that no man who
openly favors them can hope to be elect
ed to any kind of public Office. 1t is not
strange, then, that President Roosevelt
is seeking to have the public believe that
he is an enemy of all bad trusts-assum-
ing that there are some good ones.
But what did the president ever do
to really injure great corporations? AL
though he began political life as siren
uous free trader, yet he recently, under
pressure from the Protective Tarih
league, Joined the standpatters, and thus
stands opposed to the most certain way
Of curbing the trusts and giving relief
to the people-by reducing the tariff du-
ties. As governor of New York he called
an extra session of the legislature to
pass amendments to the Ford bill to
tax the franchises of the public service
corporations. The amendments were
prepared by the corporation attorneys,
and were intended to make the act I'M
constitutional. The courts have not yet,
after four years of lost time, fully de-
cided the case. 1t was the presidents
voice that killed the Littlefeld antitrust
bill In the last congress and caused the
passage of two sham antitrust bills, the
Elkins anti-rebate bill and the depart
ment of commerce bill with its bureau of
corporations to give publicity to trusts.
The facts that are slowly coming to
light in regard to this new bureau should
open the eyes of the voters to the real
position of the president on the trust
question. In discussing the Present
Statistical Outlook in Washington" the
correspondent of the New York Journal
Of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
said on July ~ of this new bureau:

reau is Of . really thorough type, and /

mont and Hangs in Midair
for Almost a Day.

A horse belonging to DR.. Pixley, q
physician Of Missoula, Mont, recently
hung in midair % hours while dozen
men tried in vain to extricate him from
dangerous position.
Dr. Pixley started out fishing. He went
up Rattlesnake creek about ten miles
from town, near a ford he meant to cross,
and the team ran away. Horses, wagon,
men and all went over a 20-foot embank-
ment.
BY a miracle DR.. Pixley and his friend,
Lewis, were not hurt. They tumbled
head over heels and fell into some soft
mud.
The wagon was wrecked and the off
horse fell into the creek, whence he swan
out.
The near horse, however, was caught
in the fork of a tree, about IA feet from
the water, and there he hung, over the
stream.
A rude crane was finally rugged up and
the animal rescued, none the worse Of
wear, but ravenously hungry.

It is safe to say that If Taft becomes
secretary Of war he will get along
swimmingly with every ohicer, high
or low, who understands his business,
for he has consummate tact and has
faculty Of getting all the work out Of
a man there is in him without causing
any heartburnings. That has been his
record in the Philippines, and it was
his record when he was in Washing
ton during Harrison's administration
as solicitor general Of the department Of
justice.
1t was as solicitor general that Taft
first had an opportunity to distinguish
himself. He was young fellow then
In the early thirties and he had not
been in Office six months before he was
one of the best known and best liked
officials Of the government. He had tho
faculty ofmaking friends in an extraor-
binary degree and yet at the same
time he was winning his way among
tho leaders and establishing himself
ns a lawyer Of unusual promise. The
promise he displayed then he has
more than fulfilled.

Prince Otto of Windisch-Graetg, his
! youthful and immensely wealthy wife
| the Princess Elizabeth Marie, whom
he married only year ago, and q
pretty actress Of the opera at Prague
are the central figures in an extraor-
binary scandal that is at this moment
rending half a dozen European courts.
The Princess-who Is the grand.
daughter on her fathers side Of the
Emperor Of Austria, and on her moth
ers side Of the King Of the Belgians,
only 20 years old, royal parsonage
who renowned her rights to the
throne Of Austria in order to marry as
her heart dictated-has had a narrow
escape from the stigma Of murder
ess, for she did nothing less than
shoot and seriously wound the actress
with whom the Prince was having q
rendezvous.
The remarkable affair took place in
the palace Of the estate of the Princes
family at Prague. 1t came as a shock
to the highest circles of Bohemia
where it was supposed that the home
life of the Young folks was ideal.
1t appears that Prince Otto had
been secretly paying assiduous atten-
ton to the actress, a slender, beauti-
full girl at whose feet were half the
gilded youth Of Prague.
The Princess was blissfully igno.
rant of the intrigue until on a GER
tain night she was informed, presum-
ably through some disappointed sutton
Of the actress, that the Prince was
