on the ragged edge, and with hard
times coming on and business decreas-
ing more of the promoters of these
overcapitalized corporations will be
taken into court and asked to explain
where all the money has gone. Thus
the quarrels of trust promoters over
the cold remains C. some of the trusts
are doing more than congress or presi-
dent for publicity"
The public is not only swindled by
eXtortionate trust prices to enable divi-
dendS TO be paid on excessive capitali-
cation, but those who have been silly
enough 10 buy trust stocks and bonds
find they have a deprecated security
for the good money invested. If PreSi-
dent Roosevelt had been half as siren
nous in pushing publicity as in some
other matters, what a vast saving
might have been effected for the dupes
of the trust promoters!
The last congress passed a law for
publicity of trust transactions. provided
an army of clerks and appropriated the
money to pay them. but left the option
of publication of what might be dis
covered 10 the president. The bureau
OF corporations, under which the work
is being carried on, has for months
been engaged with the large force OF
clerks in unraveling trust transactions,
but the president has not authorized
the publica ton of any discoveries that
have been made, so the public is still
paying the piper, but has received no
protection. Probably there will be no
exposure of the devious ways of the
bad trusts until after the national
election, as the needs of the Repub-
licau party in the coming campaign
will require donations from the bad
trusts" and holding over the heads OF
the trust magnateS the threat of eX-
posture of their methods would be the
most effective way of making them
donate literally to the Republican cam
paign fund.
President Roosevelt has been posing
as the annihilatOr of the bad trusts,
but this protection of their interests
by not publishing their doingS does not
substantiate the title of the trust kill
err There be strange political happen
ings these days. and more strange still
may be expected before the next cleo
ton

Exposing the Trusts.

The exposure Of the way the ship
building trust was wrecked by Schwab
and others has been shown up by the
receiver appointed by the court and
more than verified by the evidence adj
duced at the court proceedings. Re-
ceiver Smith characteriZes the wreck
Ing of the trust as IAN artistic swim
die and recommends 10 the court that
the swindlers he prosecuted and made
to disgorge.
There is not much doubt that other
corporations and trusts have been ham
died in the same way. and more ex-
pOsures may be expected in the near
future. The asphalt trust was manip-
uIated in Il similar manner. and many
of the railroads have been reOrganized
on like basis. but the receivers in
the railroad cases were friendly to the
wreckers. so no punishment of the rob
bc~s was attempted. and they were
allowed TO get away with the swag
The receiver of the asphalt trust was
not so ,.u.uN,acent. and General Greene,
the Republican commissioner of police
of New York city. is being prosecuted
by the receiver, with a strong proba-
biIity that he will have to disgorge
some of the ill gotten gains. There
are good many. other trust magnates

Roosevelt's Finger in the Pie.

Some uneaSineSS i appearing in re-
publican circles in this state over an
alleged purpose of President ROOse-
welt to interfere i'm Illinois politics.
and direct nominations for governor
and other state officers next wear.
The president in the Roosevelt strenu-
Gus way appears 10 have reached the
conclusion that it. i his duty TO reSu-
late Illinois state politics. State pol
iticianS have been in Washington in
conference with Mr.. Roosevelt, and it
il given out that he may have very de
cided opinions. with equally positive
assertions on the other side II * the
Roosevelt way 10 Interfere and die
tate. But he will find the Illinois
proposition a harder one than ever
he undertook to. handle.
Roosevclt's plan on some plea of in
failibilit5 is To boss the republican
machine in the west.
More than one president has come
to grief by personal ambition that
overIeap> itself. and Roosevelt has
