Liberal Aspirations Sway Governments of the Old World

A survey of the various nationalitics shows a decided drift toward liberal institutions and standards.
 ENGLAND.-To begin with, the cleo tion of new British parliament last January resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Liberal party, qualified only by the sudden rise of a powerful labor party. Campbell Zimmerman in Balfour's place organized strong composite ministry of self made men. The parliament stood with BIT Liber- als, .156 Unionists, 83 Natlonalists and 50 Laborites. When the kings speech frankly declared for radical home rule policy in Ireland the opposition mustered only eighty-eight votes. A nonconformist education bill passed by the commons APRIL 2 was op- posed by the lords. England set big gest battleship pattern with the launching of the Dreadnought, FEB. 10, pattern which Germany, America. Russia, Japan and others were not slow to follow.
 FRANCE. = Clement Armand Fal- Heres was elected president JAN. 1T. Troubles over the church inventory began in February, and coalition of Clericals and Socialists defeated the Rouvier ministry in March, NJ. Sarrien

Radical Policies Run
 Through Party Lines

More than in any previous year men of all parties have been unwilling to tolerate the leadership of tainted poli- ticians or untried aspirants for office. Insurance exposures, rebate prosecu- tions and increased cost of living, de- spite the continuance of great business activity, all combined to stiffen the popular demand for square deal poli- tics and antl-monopoly legislation, however people differed as to partic- ular ways and means.
 On the Republican side President Roosevelt voiced this sentiment with his successful call for the rate, pure food, meat inspection and industrial alcohol laws and through his open op- position to the beef, railroad, coal, sugar and other trusts, eliminating in challenge to mortal combat with the financial aggregation headed by John the president called halt on the ex- pose writers in his muck rake" speech, APRIL 14. he startled the con servative by limiting at the idea of progressive federal tax on swollen fortunes" which in his recent annual message to congress. DEC. 4, was def nitely urged for legislative action as "the antidote for Socialism"
 In spite of or by virtue of these posi- tions the personal following of the president, plus good crops and contin- ued industrial prosperity. were in the main factors in the reelection of a Republican congress, NOV. 6, although the opposition, aided in some districts by the labor vote was able to reduce the Republican majority to flfty-eight The keynote of the campaign was to stand pat on the tariff and prosperity.
 The entry of organized labor into candidate-quizzing campaign under the leadership of President Gompers was called failure by it's enemies. Gompers himself said he was well sat isfied, and his reelection by the fed eration showed that the unions shared his opinion.
 On the other hand. the Democratic ranks were so full of corporation hatred and solialistic inclinings that

Higher and Higher
 Sweeps Prosperity's Tide
By EDWIN s. POTTER, Editor Universal News Analysis.

Look first at the enormous product won from the soil by the American ma lchine-and-science-aid farmer. Sec retary Shaw has figured that out for us within the past month-an output valued at $6,794,OOO,O ,O00, total $324, 100000 bigger than last years. In the crop realm corn was king at valua- fion of $1,100,O00,OOO Agricultural ex- ports reached the high water mark of e97e, ,olp. 900.
 All of the great railroad and indus : trial corporations have reported in- creased earnings, have paid higher div idends and increased capital stock, while many have cut luscious surplus melons -notaciy Hills hundred million ore deal distribution, the Pullman $35,- 100000, the United States and Wells Fargo Express companies forced di- vision. Even Steel common resumed per cent dividend.
 { Trusts have gobbled trusts, and. de- spite the rate law, rebate prosecutions and Jungle" book exposures, the con- centration of capital interests has gone forward, new feature being the for nation of huge holding companies in England, which was disclosed in the Findlay trial of the Standard Oil com pany and was reported in connection with the beef trust The glucose trust was absorbed by the oil trust in Janu- ary. The Amalgamated Copper con- pany absorbed the Heinze interest, and two gigantic new trusts were formed the American Farm Produce company, with $2O. 900. 900 capital, and 0,000,- 900 rubber company to exploit the Kongo concession-both financed and controlled by the Ryan Whitney inter ests.
 But it was especially in the railroad business that the movement toward standardization was evident, and here the dominant figure of the year was that of E. H. Hartman, who in Jan uary pushed a subsidiary line into

The abdlcation of Palma when he found that the American government was not disposed to intervene in his favor com pelled Taft to proclaim himself provi- sional governor, SEPT. 20, and to call for sufficient naval and military sup port to overawe the warning factions. Later Taft was succeeded by Magoon.
 Panama and Colombia made treaty of peace AUG. 1. Since January Ven ezuela and France have ceased diplo- matic relations. President Castro quit office, sick man. All the South and Central American countries were repre- scented at the pan-American congress at Rio de Janeiro in August. They fa- vored general arbitration convention to be enacted by The Hague conference and approved the Drago doctrine.
 JAPAN.-After getting her grip on the Chinese trade Japan condescended to open the door into Manchuria in March, and the new world power of the orient was engaged in May in mak- ing new tariff law with retaliatory and protective features A most amaz- ing feature of Japan's progress was the nationalizing of all her industries.
 CHINA.-Even the Chinese pulse ap- pears at last to be throbblng with the common aspiration for individual ex- pression under popular government, and by the decree of the aged empress commission of distinguished China men visited western nations and re- turned to begin the creation of con stitution for China.
 KONGO.-The Belgian management of the vast Kongo estate became an acute international issue late in the year when the British government sug- gested the possibility of intervention in the name of humanity. Leopold's lobby at Washington was exposed, and the senate was expected to act on the Lodge resolution.

 Other important measures enacted were: To authorize the eighty-five foot lock canal across the isthmus, to au- thorize construction of the Lake Erie and Ohio ship canal, to place denatured alcohol on the free list.

Federal Powers Extended
 By a R0oseveltian Consress

Hardly was the Fifty-ninth congress under full headway last January when 1t became apparent that much muck raking had prepared favorable soil for the propagation of remedies either con ceived or adopted by President Roose- welt. His message had struck the key note of the session by insisting on federal regulation of interstate rail- road rates. A bill to this end, introduc- ed by Hepburn of Iowa, was put through the house, FEB. 8, without Democratic opposition, the Democrats claiming priority in advocating the policy for which it stood. Aldrich and Foraker led the conservative opposi- tion in the senate, securing numerous amendments and forcing the president to virtual Democratic coalition. The Allison amendment for a broad court review brought about a degree of Re publican harmony, however, and the bill passed the senate, FEB. IS, n to 3. It was signed JUNE %.
 Public opinion had been so stirred by the realistic picture of Chicago's pack ing house horrors in Upton Sinclair's socialistic novel, "Tbe Jungle" that

State and Federal Decisions Antagonize Trusts

Missouri, whose attorney general was pressing certain telling questions upon officials of the Standard oil com pany at New York in the first week of the year. was the state and St. Louis the city in which the federal attorney general began formal proceedings, NOV. 15, to dissolve this same huge corporation with thlnly yelled threats of criminal aeon against its creator. Rockefeller, and his official associates. This suit was the continuation of the Investigations authorized by congress and conducted by Garfield and the com merce commission. The Garfield re- port had brought with it the presi- dents official denunclation of the Stand ards illegal practices. MAY 4. and the challenge from the nations chief was boldly accepted by the Standard ofH- cials in a statement denying the charges and rebuking the president.
 But 1t remained for Ohio to take the brunt of the years legal battle against the oil trust At Findlay in July a suit was started under the state anti. trust law, and John D. Rockefeller was summoned. Through counsel he plead ed not guilty, and on OCT. Q the etate began broadside case against the Standard oil Company of Ohio on the charge of conspiracy to restrain trade. all the officials being summoned. On OCT. 19 the jury adjudged the com pany guilty, and the sentence of 5000 day. retroactive, was imposed by Judge Banker. The case was appealed.
 The New York Central railroad was prosecuted for rebating to the sugar trust and fined $los.OO0. while the sugar trust was fined $16s.0o0 for re- ceiving the rebates.
 Prior to the oil prosecutions the big beef packers brought to trial at Chica- go on criminal charges had gone scot free on the decision of Judge Hum phrey, holding that they were immune because their testimony had been given confidentiaIly to Garfield. At Kansas City JUNE F four of the packers-Ar- mour, Swift, Cudahy and Morris-were found guilty of accepting rebates from the Burlington.
 In nearly all of the larger cities com binations of ice companies were attack- cd for conspiracy in forcing up prices. the most promptly successful prosecu- ton being against the five Toledo deal- CTS. who were not only fined but who began their Jail sentences. but later got out on bond and appealed.
