ROOSEVELT AS TRUST BUSTER

There is general inclination among
Democratic papers to sheer at Roose-
welt as a trust buster" The feeling
Of opposition editors is that the Presi-
dent has ia lied to make good along
this line, that the trusts, despite the
welding of the big stick, are still as
numerous, as active, and as gouging as
ever. Whether they will ever be
brought under effective control while
the Republican party is in power at
Washington is doubtful. A political
party cannot, or will not, slap its most
powerful friends in the face, and no
one questions that the trusts look with
favoring eye on the G. O. p, its lead
ers and its policies,
The New York Times regards Roose-
welt as "a capital grand stand player
along the antitrust line. While it does
not accuse the President of gross in
sincerity of any desire to Intentionally
mislead the public or deceive it as to
his real sentiments, it does not hesitate
to say that his course is erratic and I'M
productive of very definite results.
There is too much of the glare of the

formances, too evident desire to pose
in a spectacular fashion, too much
straining after effects.
The Times, which no one will accuse
of being sensational or unjust in it's
editorial management, says;
This is the Roosevelt way. Look
around until you find some abuse,
picture it forth to the people as scaly
monster beyond the strength of the
States to control, belabOr it until you
have attracted attention and made
yourself popular as a deliyerer of the
enslaved, then rush to Congress with
the suggestion of a bill-the wagner
the suggestion is the safer it will be-
to draw the teeth Of the monster and
tie his legs. Then make a prodigious
fuss over your achievement in speech
and writing and leaye the lawmaking
body to work out the statutory solu-
ton. If the legislators raise Consti-
tutiOnal objections, denounce them as
traitors and the slaves of the Trusts.
Few practical reforms are thus achiey-
ed, but it is afirst-rate way to make
political capital.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has upheld the constitutionality
of State acts prohibiting the use of the
national flag for advertising purposes.
Public sentiment will sustain the posi-

shed in five great wars and it is
eminently proper that it should not be
