WHAT IS THE REMEDY FOR TIE
TRUST EVIL?

Whenever Chief Justice Clark speaks lie
says something worth thinking about. He
follows no beaten track. He is no afraid
OF being a pioneer in thought, an. Is no
more afraid Of going into new paths than
were cur pioneer ancestors. whether You
agree with him or not, he Is sure TO ad-
vance IDEAS that are not commonplace.
In his address 20 the Virginia lawyers,
Judge Clark has given much food for
thought or the most momentous problem
today before the American people. He
shows that trusts are merely the new
names for the agencies that have robbed
the many that have cursed hu-
mainly since the earliest days when the
Pharaohs made the ancestors Of Egypt
tan fellahs build the great pyramids for
their g~lorifcation.
How can the excort,ons o. the trusts be
stopped? what are the remedies for the
evils that threaten American industrial IN

tribed men and newspapers are honestly
seeking the remedy. most OF them feeling

He makes a pyrotechnic display against a

trust domination If they VIII require only
