Our aim Is to try to do something

taken steps to see If 1t is not possible,

are guilty of wrongdoing In the hands
of receivers. The purpose OF the ad,
ministration is to stamp out the evil;
that we shall seek to find the most
effective device for this purpose, and
that we shall then use It, whether the
device can be found In existing law
or must be supplied by legislation"
The idea that the administration is
able to assure a supply of new legis.

| The statement Of President Baer of

explains inferentially why the Steel
trust and the Money trust are not
disturbed by our "cantankctous
fricnd" in the White House. They
are good trusts'-good to the Re
publican politicians at least. But
there can be. in the estimation OF an
honest man no such thing as n good
trust since the very raison d. etre OF
every trust is monopoly and extorton
This Ii shown BY the history Of such
combinations The first time the trust
was known by that name was in 1852
