ROOSEVELT GETS A PROD.
Republicans Are Only Shamming in
Their Opposition to the
Trusts.

Congressman John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader in The house, has
Just offered two resolutions of inquiry
which, while directed at Attorney Cen
eral Knox, are really prod to the
whole Rooseveltian administration for
its refusal to prosecute the trusts.
One of these resolutions virtually
asks why the criminal clause of the
Sherman antitrust law is not being
applied to the rich officials of the
Northern Securities company, who, by
the supreme court decision, are shown
TO be criminals. Why are those found
guilty not being indicted?
The other resolution asks SUBJ
stantially why the attorney gen.
eral has not made use of the evil
dence put in his possession year and
half ago showing clearly that the
anthracite coal trust is an illegal COM
bination.
The attorney general Is the only per-
son who can bring suit against trust.
Why does he not follow up the nomi-
nal victory won against the Northern
Securities company? Why does he
hasten to assure the trusts that he will
not run amuck" in enforcing the law
against trusts? Is 1t not clearly be-
cause the republican party does not
dare to antagonize the trusts at any
time, and especially on the eve of a
presidential election? Where would
they get campaign funds if they were
to make enemies of the trust magnate
Make no mistake; the republicans
are only shamming opposition TO the
trusts.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1904-04-22
WHAT'S THE RUSH ABOUT ?
The President Is in a Big Hurry to
Get Congress Off His
Hands.

President Roosevelt has ordered con-
gress to disband. Congress does not
usually adjourn the long session until
after midsummer, but the republican
leaders declare that May at the latest
will be the date this year. President
Roosevelt probably feels more than
any other former president that he has
Congress on his hands" and wants
to get rid of it. This dislike and fear
of congress has always been the talk
Of the best business interests in Wall
street and tn2reahouts. 1t Is not diff
cult to see that this feveri5h haste to
get rid of congress can be traced
through the administration to Wall
street If there were no democrats in
congress the trusts, combines and cor
porations would not object to its con-
tinuance forever, but the minority lead
ers are making too good a record and
calling the attention of the country to
the great need of reform, so they must
be got rid Of.
President Roosevelt has also another
reason for wishing to get congress off
! his hands. He knows that nine-tenths
Of the republican senators and rep
resentatives secretly dislike him and
would be quite willing to see him COM
NIT political hari-kari. On the surface
| they are favorable to his denomination,
but they fear he will be defeated and
that the loaves and fishes will be lack
ing with his political obliteration.
They would feel safer with some other
candidate, but see no way out of their
dilemma. Why should congress ad-
journ without passing upon the many
matters that the voters deem of great
Importance to them? Unfortunately
what the people want is not what the
trusts desire. The people want reform.
The combines are willing to stand pat
and the republican president and law
givers stand with the corporations
against the people. To have record
vote on those important reform meas
ures the democrats favor would show
too plainly to the voters how their
representatives stand and it would be
awkward for many republican con-
gressmen to decide between their
friends the corporations and their con-
stituents. Caucuses and conventions
are being held about this time and the
ordinary republican voter, who is op-
posed to the trusts, might make trouble
now, and more about election time, II
it could be proved to him that he was
represented by trust lover instead OF
trust buster.
There is another reason for the anx-
iety of the republicans to adjourn con-
gress at this early date The democrats
are demanding that the post Office de-
partment be investigated, as they have
evidence that but small part of the
rottenness with which that department
has been proved to be honeycombed
has been disclosed. 1t is very annoying
TO the republican leaders to be thus
bearded in what they consider to be
their own den by the minority and
have the country constantly reminded
that only partial exposure of the
grating has been uncovered.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1904-04-22

A talk with political leaders in
Washington makes one thing plain-the
Cleveland wave is coming along with an
irresistible sweep. "He is the only man
that the democrats can win with" is
what one hears on all sides. The Chron-
icle's observations in recent days lead
it to believe that Cleveland's nomina-
ton will be inevitable.-Charlotte IN.
c. Chronicle.
THE republicans are now looking
for three or four men to fill the place
of the late Mr.. Hanna as campaign
manager.-Chicago Chronicle.

New York will send to the dem

-Elmira Gazette
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1904-04-22

The Republican press is still
worried over Judge Parker's silence.
They will have no cause for worry over
Roosevelt on that score. Many republl-
cans wish that Roosevelt was blessed
with some of the New York judges
reticence.-St. Louis Republic.

The only change between summer

be that which is unavoidable, except
that more corn may be given in winter

summer. Generally make the winter
