old Spanish vessel disclosed the fact

found to be in fair condition, taking
into consideration the length of time
it has lain submerged in the bay.

the people will not appreciate how far

great victory for the government and

Can Control Trusts.
tIt means that the government can
control and suppress trusts Of all kinds
coarse it is understood that this aeci-
sion does not prevent one railroad
from acquiring the property of another
so as to extend its system but merely
that the court holds that il is unlawful
for parallel roads to consolidate where
there would be stamping out OF COM
petition.
But above all this is the fact that
the court has held that rich and poor
will be treated alike. The day for the
rich corporations to employ high sal
aried attorneys to assist them in de-
feating the law has gone forever.
Il have contended all along that the
laws on the statute books We're ample

necessary to contros unlawful corpora
tions There has been simply vigor-
Gus enforcement of the laws which
have been on the statute books for
years.

President Roosevelt in ordering the
prosecution of the merger suit has
greatly strengthened himself with the
people. He will be nominated and
elected hands down. He has been
charged with insincerity and with
promising to do impossible things. so
far as trusts are concerned. But to
use the words of the street, he has de,
livered the goods and given praetic-
al demonstration OF his sincerity.
