The Trust in Politics

The term trust" has come to
have a sort of technical meaning
in political and economical
discussion, denoting a condin-
alton to attain legal ends by
illegal means or illegal ends by
legal means. In the haste to be
suddenly rich by any method that
will not land them in the peni-
tentiary men are continually
meeting with the divinely-
Instituted law of competition,
which acts as an obstacle to their
Iignoble purpose. Unwilling to
be baked in this way, they have
adopted various devices to OBJ
Istl uct the operation of the divine
law. Among these was one to
get all the persons interested in
the production of a particular
article to select trustees, who
should regulate the production
and distribution of the article
with a view to robbing the con-
sumers. AS the facts are pra-
ctically undisputed, it is just as
we'll to employ plain words to ex'
press them.
Trusts, however, came to b;
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1907-12-20

looked on as contrary to the law,
and have been TO a great extent
abandoned. Instead of trusts,
corporations have been largely
introduced, taking in all, or near
ly all, the producers, to effect
the same object. Now a trust is
a perfectly innocent thing if its
purpose is righteous, and so is a
corporation. The iniquity is not
in the trust or in the corporation,
but in the combination TO do a
conscienceless thing, sometimes
wholly illegal, sometimes not
altogether so, but always un-
scrupuious. rhe desire to rob
without going to the penitentiary
is BLACK of them all. These evil
combinations, whatever the form
they assume, are the same in
essence. and hence it happens
that the word trust" has clung
to most of them, even after they
have ceased to be trusts in the
original sense The word trust"
is not, therefore, now used IN
economic and political discussion
in the old legal sense, but to
denote a comblntion to take ad-
vantage o. everybody outside
the combine.

The Children We Keep.

The children kept coming, one by one,
Till the boys were five and the girls were three
And the big brown house was alive with fun
From the basement floor TO the old roof tree.
Like garden flowers the little zones grew.
Nurtured and trained with the tenderest care;
Warmed by loves sunshine, bathed in its dew,
They boomed into beauty, like roses rare.
Bot one of the boys grew weary one day,
And leaning his head on his mothers breast
He said, Il am tired and can not play:
Let me sit While on your knee and rest,
She Graded him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest song
Ard rapturous love still lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the Heavenly throng.
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes
Who stood where the brook and river meet,
Stole softly away into Paradise
Ere the river had reached her slender feet.
While the fathers eyes on the grave are bent,
The mother looked upward beyond the SKIES;
Our treasures, she whispered, were only lent
Our darlings were angels in earth's disguise.
Z The years flew by and the children began
4 With longing to think of the world outside;
! And as each in his turn became man,
TIE boys proudly went from the fathers side
The girls were women so gentle and fair,
That lovers speedy to WOO and win;
And with orange blossoms in braided hair,
4 The old home was left, new home to begin.
! So one by one. the children have gone
: The bows were five and the girls were three;
: And the big brown house is gloomy and lone,
{ With but two old folks for its company
( They talk to each other about the past,
{ AS they sit together at eventide,
I And say, ''All the children we keep at last
: Are the boy and girl who in childhood died"

WATSON'S WEEKLY JEFFERsONIAN

Percy Martins can be sent, for their bung-
ling attempts to rob.
Cornelius Jacksons can be sent, for their
failure to give the signal.
But the kings who steal an entire railroad
at one grab, and lthose who can plug another
railroad for $6oooo,ooo at one turn of the
knife, and those whose greed for dividends
leaves the railroad in such wretched plight
that tragedies are certain ITO occur-these
kings cannot be punished.
They move in higher sphere as corpora
tion lawyer, Cromwell, faithfully said
They swindle and the public submits
They rob, and the people endure. They MUIR
der, and law makes no move.
And when one lone Senator Of the United
States SO far forgets himself as to tell the
President that the most audacious of these
royal law-breakers should be sent to the peni-
tertiary on account of particularly glaring
and defiant case of criminal conduct, the
millionaire outlaw treats the matter as an in
cidental impertinence hardly deserving his
serious attention. With an inclination to be
amicable and conci1iatory, he lets the Sen
ator off by charitab1y supposing that he was
drunk

Editorial Notes.

Clark Howell, in the Atlanta Constitution,
is telling his brethren of the Democratic
party that they must not repeat the blunder
of, 1904 when they come to nominate Pres
idential candidate in 1908.
1t seems that the blunder consisted in al
lowing the nomination to be bought for
Judge Parker by the Wall Street magnates
who label themselves "DemOcrat"
All, me! if Clark had only said this in 1904,
and kept on saving it as hard as | did, how
we could a fout!"
In 1908, if Clark sees Tom Ryan corralling
the Virginia delegation and taking it to the
Convention in his private car, as he did in
1904, | want Clark to be ready to help me

So no!
PParker was the Wall Street candidate, was
he?
Clark Howell says so, and no one protests,
No one abuses him. No one says he was

Howell says it in 1907, and all men know that
what he says is true

Libby Canning Company Would
Like to Have a Branch
In Richmond.
1T is NOT AFTER BONUS.
ALL THEY WANT is THE ASSUR-
ANCE THAT THEY CAN SECURE
PLENTY OF TOMATOES AND
CABBAGE.

If the farmers of Wayne county will
agree to raise between 500 and 1000
acres of cabbage and tomatoes, Rich
mond will get a new industry-a
branch of the Libby packing company
of Chicago. What the Libby company
desires to establish in Richmond is a
pulping station and krauting plant
General Freight agent William
Fitzgerald and District Freight Agent
III. NJ. Hall, both of the c.. c. e. L.,
have been in Richmond in the interest
of the Libby company. They nave
presented the proposition to the board
of directors of the Commercial club
and next Monday night at meeting
of the club. a committee will likely
be named to make canvass among
farmers in this vicinity to see wheth-
er they will agree to grow the desired
products.
The Libby company, whose repu-
tation is established, asks no money
from the Commercial club, site for its
plant or anything of that nature. All
that is desired is the assurance that
it can secure tomatoes and cabbage.
Other products will also be used IL
the farmers will raise them.
The establishment of the plant will
mean thousands of dollars to the farm
ers of Wayne county and the CONNER
cial club directors are anxious to Sc
cure it.
