To Prosecute Trust..

If house bill 1883, introduced at the
beginning Of the Fifty-eighth session,
becomes law United States attorneys
will be empowered, without instruc-
ton from the attorney general, to in

unlawfully restrain trade and COM
merce. Circuit courts are given juris-

Americans Want Them.
Among the earnest and powerful
supporters Of the Panama canal and
the greater navy for America none did
more than Representative William
Randolph Hearst to bring about the
accomplishment Of these two distinctly
American projects.

Producer Not Tn IT.

Uncontradicted facts, brought to
light in committee hearings in con-
gress during inquiries concerning leg.
islation affecting labor and agricul-
tural interests in the United States,
show that nearly all American prod
ucts are sold cheaper in foreign coun.
tries than at home. By applying bust
ness experience and facts to this dis
parity Representative William Ran
dolph Hearst of New York has forced
certain trust managers to admit that
they benefit by this system Of produc-
ton under special tariff privileges, yet
they do not permit their workmen to
share any proportion Of the advan-
tages. The employers take all the pros
perity, and, as the New York states
man has repeatedly emphasized in and
out Of congress, they give no concern
to the laborer or farmer.

Honest and fearless newspapers are
the search lights of modern civilization.
They lay bare the hidden, insidious
and powerful influences that tend to

The attributes of William Randolph

The fact that 100000 people read

FAMOUS GEoRGIAN's CHOICE.
Historian Thomas Watson Names
His Candidate For President.

Historian Thomas Watson Names
His Candidate For President.
Thomas E. Watson, the historian,
who represented a Georgia district in
congress, but has retired to private
life, in an open letter sets forth rea-
sons why, If in public life, he would
support Congressman William Ran
dolph Hearst for the presidency. Mr..
Watson's letter follows:
Were in politics 1 should heartily
approve and support the candidacy OF
William II. Hearst because he has for
many years been cyerting all the pow
er of his millions and his mental en-
ergies in favor of the principles of JEFF
fersonian Democracy
81 would support Mr. Hearst because
he is young leader inspired by the
old spirit OF equal rights to all and
special privileges TO none, because he
favors the rights of the many rather
than the greed Of the few, because he
does not represent scctionalsm of any
sort, but stands for the common people
of the entire republic. l would support
him because he is young enough to
cherish generous enthusiasm of the
public good at the same time that lie
has demonstrated capacity to succeed
in the most trying affairs of practical
life.
81 would support him because he
-
is not the craven tool of any ring, syn
dicate, corporation, trust or interest.
II would support him because he has
brains enough to realize what this pub
lie needs and pluck enough to do battle
for his convictions.
"a Democrat who knows what De-
mocracy is and is loyal enough to stand
by it in this day of decadence, would
give him the aid of my entire strength,
believing that l would thus be doing
the highest public service"
In commenting OH the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says in the
same issue: "The Hon. Thomas e.
Watson is no longer politician. No
temptation of office, no plea Of the
public, has been sufficient to draw him
from his brilliant and honorable re-
| ttrement to engage in the personal am
billions of politics. He has made fame
He has achieved fortune by his brains
and his labor, and he is today by gen
erul consent looked upon as without 8
superior among the thinkers and pa
triots of the state. But whether in re
tlrement or in active service, Thomas
| Watson is still the great tribune of the
common people of Georgia. They trus
him and follow him as they do no 9th
er man. And Tom Watson, the philos
opher, the scholar in politics, the pa
triot in retirement, viewing all meas
i ures and all men from the tranquility
Of unselfishness and repose, sends
through the News message to the
| people of Georgia today which ring:
like bugle call. 1t is the voice of thu
real tribune Of the people calling tho
people to their opportunity.
'Tom Watson's letter is the most nota
BILE and significant utterance which thu
presidential campaign has so fal
evoked. 1t is the highest possible vim
dication of the contention of the New
that Hearst is the man of the peopl
and the choice of the people. 1t nov
remains to see that the people hay
their choice"

Hearst's Victories.

over tnree years ago william Kan
dolph Hearst began suit in Chicago
against the gas trust which was
fought through the courts of the state
and to the supreme court'of the Unit
ed States where it was decided lin IA
vor of the people and against the gas
trust on Monday. The city Of Chica-
60 had adopted an ordin nee fxi x
the price to be charged for gas at Is
cents per 1000 feet. The gas trust ig-
nofed the TIE ordnance, charging
consumers 81. 90 per 1OuO feet.
HerstS Chicago American protested
against the open defiance of law by
the gas trusv. The long fight was com
menced by Clarence S. barrow, Mr.
Thompson and Masters on behalf of
Mr.. Hearst. The result of the suit is
to Tx the price at 10 cents per 1000
feet and to give to every consumer OF
gas In the city the right to demand
from the gas trust the sum paid In
excess of the lawful price for the years
since the ordinance took effect, over
three years ago.

money on real estate situated outside OF

was defeated by the senate after several

There is a bill pending before con-
gress in which the members of the

terested, and should it become a law
it would do much to keep alive the

militaman of the regularly organized

drill he attends and shall be fined 81
fer each one that he misses without
adequate excuse. Each company is
required by the present law to have

Viii be seen, therefore, that this law
would bring to the guard from the
