TRUST BUSTIN G,D THAT BUSTS'''

RUsTs'BUsTIN q THAI. BUsTs''
b The supreme court Of the United
States on Monday rendered one Of the
most important decisions which ever
came from that tribunal. and In doing
so esta blished another title Of William
e. Hearst se benefector Of the
people,. ..~
The supreme court decides, 40 the
result of suit brought by Mr..
Hearst, that the railroads owning the
anthracite coal mines Of Pennsylvania
must show their transportation con-
tracts to the interstate commerce COM
mission, which will thus be enabled
to break up the coal trust If the sher-
man anti thrust law is enforced.
. 1t is about two years since the fight
against the coal trust began. Mr..
Hearst engaged attorneys and secured
evidence which was presented to At
torney General Knox, who refused to
prosecute. Suit was then brought be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, with the result given. The
government can now, If it will, break
up the coal monopoly. Mr.. Hearst has
made this possible, and blame will
rest upon the administration if moth
ing is done. Yet nothing can now
take from Hearst the credit for the
decision. 1t is a striking thing, at
this time, when malicious SANDER
about Hearst has been spread over the
country, to have his efforts in behalf
of the people sustained by the highest
court in the land. This is what Hearst
the private citizen has done.

The city election ut st. Cloud was
of more than local Importance.
While it is probable that some feat
ures of Mayor Robinson's policy
were distasteful to most of the people
Of st. Cloud, features which the may
or since election says he will abolish
"a new phase was added to the cam
paign by the efforts made by some
democrats to punish the mayor for his
attitude on the democratic presiden-
tial nomination. Mayor Robinson is
among the Sixth district democrats
who have no apologies to make for
1896 and 1900. and he is favorable to
Hearst. That this injected into the
campaign may be denied now. yet the
assertion comes from many sources,
and may be taken as a fact. Had
Robinson been defeated, much ado
would have been made over it, and
the st. Cloud Times would have said
that the mayors Hearst leanings were
responsible. The Times didn't say a
single word in favor Of Mr.. Robin
son, who was the regular party NOM
inee, yet it prides itself on its party
regularity. The result in ST.. Cloud
can hardly be considered an endorse
ment for the Times. Robinson was
elected after a hard fight, by 81 ma
jority. =

The process of printing from a fat

ciple that oil or grease and water won't
mix. The design to be printed from
photographic stone or aluminium plate
is defined in ink the basis Of which is

In this connection there is much

they would not be quoted in the

that the Attorney General cent for the

in order to say what he was quoted as

but the decision of the Supreme
Court, by a bare majority vote
against the merger, was as much a
surprise to the Attorney. General as it,
was to the criminal combine involved
in the decision, hence he made haste
to get to the trusts Of the country
with disclaimer that they intended
to pursue the matter further. It is
very unlikely. then, that the resolu-

William Randolph Hearst citing the
existence of criminal trusts all over;

be passed by republican house of

knew that 1t would not pass when he
introduced it, but he also knew that
if it did not it would put the republi-
cans in q hole on the trust question
where the public could 60 up and
view their real attitude on this mat

apparent that the trust question, as

Springfield Republican. Nhat the

have done, and was-i dirty bound to
do, was done BY 9 private citizen,
Williams R. Hearet. This ia q. very
important judgment in more ways
than one. It puts new vitality and
power into the interstate commerce
law and the means Of enforcing it.
It clears away an obstacle to the deter
mination Of the truth in the matter of
this alleged combination and it's mon
opoly exactions, and to an enforcement
of the law in its case. These pre-
datory coal combinations. seeming as
contemptuous of law as OF the rights
and interests Of the people. created an
opportunity, and the Roosevelt admin
istration simply declined to have any,
thing to do with 1t. though in duty
bound to have q good deal to do
with any case involving possible in
fractions of federal law. It then
remained for Hearst to step in and
make the most of the opportunity for
his own purposes. and much has he
made of it. He is now enabled to
stand out as a greater apparent cham
pion of the people against trust ex-
tortion than the president and his
whole administration; for were one
person might have been injured some
what by the continued existence of the
n orthern Securities company, 10000
persons are being injured a great deal
by the antharacite combination. And
Hearst moved On his own iniative,
using his own means while President
Roosevelt refused to move, though
holding commission from the people
to do so and supplied with public
DIS for the purpose.

SOME FOR HEARST

transporting delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention at Duluth,
June. 22d, they TO und time to discuss
the presidential campaign on the side.

were among those in st. Paul yester.
day who are considered friendly to
Hearst.
None Of these gentlemen would state
yesterday what the plan of the cam
paign is. Mr.. Donohue said that
Hearst's supporters won the recent
city election in st. Cloud, which he
thought, indicates that the New York
newspaper proprietor is not losing his
grip In all sections Of Minnesota Mr..
Buck was not ready to make his state

Topeka's Geographical Position.

The capital city of Kansas occupies
a peculiar place in American geogra.
ply. The two legs Of compass ap'
piled to a map OF the United States
will show how nearly central is it's
position. Topeka is as far from Quod.
dy Head, at the extreme northeastern
corner of the Union. as it is from the
strait Of Juan de Fuca, at the extreme
northwest. The distance is the. same
from Topeka to the southernmost tip
Of Florida as from Topeka to San
Diego. Cal. On the north and south
line, Topeka is just half way between
the Canadian border and the coast OF
the Gulf of Mexico.-New York Sun.

A CAMPAIGN OF ISLANDER
Cincinnati Enquirer editorial.
March 9th:
Some Of the wretched, though per-
haps unavoidable. features of q presi-
Dental campaign are already upon
tho country. William r. Hearst is
far enough advanced as candidate
for the democratic nomination for
chief executive to have been made the
object Of bureau Of organized de-
famation.
This is, Ct course significant of
the very prominent position Mr..
Hearst has taken in the presidential
field, but that is not in any sense an
excuse for the outrage or compensa.
tion for it. His candidacy has: been
without the consent of certain self
sufficient people who. while assuming
to be high moral teachers In politics.
are not scrupulous as to the means
they take to drive out anybody who
does not recognize their commands.
False and gsrbled records have been
printed and systematically circulated
with a. vicious purpose. Mr.. Hearst,
simply by a straightforward and un-
questioned presentation of all the
facts. has been easily able to refute
the assault on his character, but the
affront does not end there. The wrong
is not to him alone. It is an insult
to the sovereign people Of the United
States,
It is disgraceful stab at the digni-
ty of the Office of president. Not
merely for the vindication of Mr..
Hearst, but for his own sake and for
the honor of his country, every man
of common decency should he resent
full toward the outrageous assaults on
private character. Mr.. Hearst has
not "patent'' on the nomination for
president or the election thereto,
bat his candidscy has been open and
above board.
No man has ever been presented for
the suffrage Of the people with a
greater degree of frankness or with =
clearer exposition of what he stands
for. Nobody need be at q loss to
comprehend what he represents. No
reasonable question remains unan-
swered. He has the right Of an Amer
lean citizen. He is not trying to take
anything without popular consent.
If SANDER IL to be- resorted to in his
case, what may We expect as to other
men who will be in the racer Let the
defamers take warning from the fail
ure of their first effort.
Common honesty is q rule that
ought to apply to all factions and
both parties without interfering
with a fair contest as to principles and
the men who are to represe Mt them.

NO MIDDLE. CLASS THERE.
Gov. Ferguson of Oklahoma Declares
That the Farmer Is cit" in
His State.

Gov. Ferguson, of Oklahoma, in speak
ing of his experiences at the worlds
fair, said that when he made his speech
there were a great many Oklahoma
farmers present. He says he could have
called 200 or 300 farmers in the crowd
by name. After the speaking New
York man said to him that he was sur
prised at the great the middle
class from Oklahoma present at the fair.
These words middle class" knocked the
governor out of the box, and he said to
the New York man: why, we have no
middle classes in Oklahoma. These peo-
pie to whom you refer as middle classes
are the farmers of the territory They
are the men who have the money in the
banks, and cut there they are it, II
you were in Oklahoma you would be
compelled to give those fellows half the
road. The idea never entered their heads
that anybody is any better than they
are" He said the New York man was
more surprised when he told him that
the smallest farms in Oklahoma were
80 acres, and that the great majority Of
farms were 16O acres, and that one
farmer out there had a whole township
in wheat.
