mastered all subjects pertaining to its
jurisdiction. He has long made a
fight on the armor plate trust. the very
existence of which has been repeatedly
and violently denied. He has ham
mered on the proposition that the gov
eminent should build an armor plate
plant of it's own III order to escape the
extortions of the trust. Republicans
have voted it down time and time
again. March in running fire de-
bate with Mr.. FOss, chairman Of the
naval committee, over Vandiver's prop
osition to investigate and find out if
there is an armor plate trust Vandiver
forced Foss to practically admit that
there is trust, While the Republic
ans voted down his proposition for an
investigation. the Republicans voting
solidly against his proposition and the
Democrats solidly in favor of it, Van
diver really got out Of Foss on cross
examination the information he was
after and came off with flying colors.
The existence of the trust being ad
mitted there is no valid or even plausi-
BILE reason why the administration
should not institute proceedings, both
civil and criminal, against the armor
plate trust. Nandiver made the way
plain and easy. In the entire brood of
trusts there is not a worse bloodsucker
than the armor plate trust, and it ought
to be abated pro bono publico. Willard
Duncan Vandiver of Missouri deserves
we'll of the country. That such man
will remain long in retirement is a
thing incredible. That he will reappear
in public life is both expected and de-
sired by all who know him.
