PRESS COMMENTS.

Eff you believe | got a telegram
from John ID. Rockefeller you can
search me-" seems to be the plea of
the suspected senator's. Possibly it
might also be wise to search their bank
accounts.-Philadelphia Item.
The picture of Mr.. Rockefeller
trembling before the prospect of trust
legislation is one that will appeal to
many imaginations. But it looks more
like a fancy sketch than a photograph
from nature.--Washington Star.
MIR. Roosevelt is going to have a
strenuous time if he closes with the
Standard Oil. Behind the president is
a vast, ~unorganized, doubtful, puzzled
public sentiment. Behind Rockefeller
issa solid, intelligent body Of enormous
wealth. If he takes up this fight Mr..
Roosevelt will forget all about San
Juan hill.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The established policy of the re-
publican party is to tax the people
more than is necessary in order to Gre
ate a surplus to lend to the banks
without interest, so that the people
can borrowing it back again by paying
interest. This is fina~nciering, and is
the result long ago predicted in these
columns of the master workings ofthe
republican Observation-Disclosures En-
quirer.
