Jefferson City must be IA dull
burg when its newspaper CORES
pOndents have to resort to writing
up political guesses about other
parts of the State and suggesting
candidates for the Democrats to
vote for in the big State primary
that is to come off next August.
One of these mentions Judge Fox
as Il probable candidate for Cover
nor and gives Il whole lot of politi-
cal tips about Southeast Missouri,
probably going on the theory that
nothing is impossible. But speak
ing of candidates for Governor, it is
wonderful the number of statesmen
that are sprlnging up over the
State with gubernatorial bees buzz
ing in their heads, and who are
busy with their literary bureaus.
Some of them are little known out
side their home districts, and may
be good men all right, but their
following is principally local IN
character.

Secretary Taft, Mr.. Rooseveit's
ponderous favorite for the Repub.
lican nomination for President, in
his Oklahoma City speech, said if
hewere a citizen of Oklahoma he
would vote against the constitution
framed by its constitutional con-
vention preparatory to statehood.
OF course he would. lie would
like TO see the constitution defeated,
because that would keep Oklahoma
out of statehood for two or three
wears more, and its electoral vote,
which is sure to be democratic,
could not then be cast against the
Republican ticket next year. Mr.,
Taft's expression is in line with his
big stick" sponsors desire TO
keep Oklahoma out of the Union
on the pretext that its constitution
does not conform to the enabling
act. But the Republicans of Okla.
homa even are not in. sympathy
with g policy so utterly at variance
with fairness and square dealing,
and the constitution will be ratified
by the people by large majority.
Then let MIR. Roosevelt try to keep
Oklahoma out by Juggling with the
enabling act and refusing to give
mis- approval. and see what it will
do for his party in the West.

If we could have war with
Japan right now" says George j q.
Gould, 1T would not be such a
bad thing as it seems on It's face,
for it would take Roosevelt's at
testion away from Wall Street and
direct it in a new line; he is one of
those persons who must be busy at
something" The cold blOOded
fDancier spoke there. When the
predatory financial policy of the
big fnanciers is threatened, then
a war scare is raised to divert at.
tention. Better bloodshed with
the excitement and pomp of war
and the deafening roar of big guns
than any disturbance of the money
getters' game.

except in one way, and that is to
put the coal trust out of the rail
road business. and the railroads
out of the coal business. This is
exactly what they have done in that
Oklahoma constitution that our
president says is so impossible and
pernicious au instrument.
Briefly, the much heralded trust
bustisg methods of the Roosevelt
administration have not been effect
i've. if judged by results. There is
not big trust in existence Mt the
advent of the present admlnlstra
ton that is weaker because of any
thing the administration has done,
and there are several trusts that are
actually stronger. The spirit may
have been willing, but the means
the administration has employed
have proved futile. Like Pete, the
White House bull pup, the admin
istration bark has been far worse
than its bite.
II corporations have violated
the law, they have been fined, and
in turn they have collected the fine
out of the pockets of the people by
raising their prices a fraction of Il
cent
Now the President threatens to
appoint receivers for naughty cor
porations. Why not appoint
guardians for naughty burglars
aud highwaymen' Did the admin.
stration ever hear of the criminal
clause of the Sherman net by which
heads of corporations guilty of the
crimes which all our sO-far futile
and expensive Investigations and
court proceedings have disclosed,
can be sent TO Jail? Here is the
remedy Why doesn't the present
administration use it, The big
stick is II thing of show after all.
1t is like the sword of state carried
before the English king at corona
ton ceremonies. 1t is n large ugly
looking weapon, but blunt and
emblematic of mercy.

George J, Gould says while
some stocks may be watered it is
only question of time when that
water will be made good, when it
will be solid land aud not watered {;
thel progress aud development Of
the country are so great and so
rapid that all watered stock will be
on a rock bottom basis In the
meantime the public will be fur
nishing dividends on the watcred
stock in the shape of high pasSeu-
ger and freight rates. The way
our swamps are made solid land is
by draining off the water, not wait.

As a Trust Buster"


Willis j. Abbot, in his Wash.
ipgton correspondence to the Com
moner. after reciting President
ROosevelt's appointments of three
successive Attorney Generals,
Knox, Moody, and Bonaparte, all
three, trust and corporation attor.
neys, he gives the following sum.
marys of the administrations much
vaunted trust busting" record.
First, II suit was brought TO dis
solve the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio,
which did not dissolve for years,
and that when it did, it became the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer.
sey, something stronger and more
diabolical than ever before. The
New Jersey company is still doing
business III the same old way de.
spite expensive investigations and
threats of fines.
Then we had the bill filed by MIR.
Knox to DESTROY the Northern Sc
curities merger. The Supreme
Court gave the company an adverse
decision, causing it some slight
trouble for Il few years. But the
people back of the combination,
Hill and Morgan, were not touched
by the findings of the court. In
fact they made more money out of
the scheme after Knox and the Su-
preme Court had given them some
gratuitious advertising, than they
did before. Of course the form OF
the merger was changed. But in
substance it remained intact.
Next came the prosecution of the
beef trust and the immunity bath
so cIeyrrly applied to the packers
by the Presidents tennis court pet.
Mr.. Garfield. The beef trust pros
ecutlon resulted in the enactment
of federal law by which the
people pay several million dollars to
the packers because of conditions
for which the packers themselves
are responsible. The steers which
are rejected are charged up to the
cattle raiser by the beef trusts.
Thus the government pays several
millions yearly to see that the beef
trust get good cattle. In the mean
time the trust is still doing bust |
ness according to old methods, as
recent exposures shows, giving
short weights and raising prices. /
Then the terrible rebaters were !
lauled into court, found guilty and /
Sentenced to WHAT |

And now after suit has been
since 1902, we are told
hat the coal trust will be prosecuted |
md the United States courts will
dissolve the mergers said to exist
by which the railroads control the
output. 1t will be as
lard to do this, by mandate of
court, as it was for George w. Per-
zins to dissolve the merger that
existed between him and himself
in his two capacities as j. p. Nor
gan & Co. and as vice president of
