French economists are asserting
that when a monopoly becomes in.
furious it should be bought by the
state and managed in the interest Of
the public. This question has gone
30 far beyond the theory that the
minister of finance has seriously
thought of taking in hand the REIN
ing of oil.

Roosevelt and the World.

1t seems to be a fad with some of the
big New York papers to see how fire.
quently they can change their allegi-
ance. The Sun which has been abusS
ing Roosevelt has come out strongly
Tor him while the World which has
been giving aid and comfort to Roose-
welt on Tuesday came out vigorously
against him. The position of the
World is made rather ridiculous when
its present attitude is compared with
what it said no longer ago than
March 16 1904 when it printed the fol-
lowing under the head ''Facts"'-
l The Antitrust law was framed
by a Republican, was passed by a
Republican House and Republican
Senate, was signed by Republican
President.
,. The law remained a dead letter
on the statute-books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland, a
Democratic President Through those
four years of Democratic Administered
ion all appeals and all efforts of The
World to have the law enforced was
met with sneers, jeers and open con-
tempt from a Democratic Attorney
General, Richard Olney, who pretend
ed that the law was unconstitutional,
and who would do nothing toward
prosecuting violators of it.
3. The irstetfort to enforce the law
was made by Theodore Roosevelt, "a
Republican President The first At

cute offenders and to test the law was

Court of the United States, given as a

voted against the constitutionality O
the law but denounced it as danger
to the Republic.

does not seem probable that th9Demo
