By ROBERTUS LOVE,

T2RUST busting is young thing,
not yet of age. The very first
a step by the United States gov
eminent toward curbing the
anarchistic tendencies of gigantic cor
porations was taken in 1887, when the
interstate commerce law was created.
In these twenty years the trust bust
ing business developed rather slowly.
Two or three years ago its progress was
accelerated by certain clearly defined
policy of the national administration,
altogether nOnpartisan. This policy
was merely the enforcement of the
laws. Since then something has been
doing. Just now the biggest things
that ever happened in the trust bust
ing line are in process of working out
In Europe n thousand. years ago and
for a few centuries later the feudal
baron was above the law. In the
United States for the past thirty years
the Doodle baron has been above the
law. Since the American civil war
two entirely new things have become
known to the worid-tramps and trusts.
The trusts, or monOpolies. have been
largely responsible for the tramps by
crushing competition and squeezing the
small business man out Of the game.

SqueaIing Already.

When there is a war some persons
must get killed. That belongs to the
business. 4 war is now on for the
determination of the criminal trusts
Some men who get in the way are 60
ing to be hard hit They are squeal-
ing already. Nobody wants to punish
innocent men, nor does anybody decry
capital merely because it is capital.
The fight is against capital criininally
acquired and criminally employed, and
if Attorney General Bonaparto's views,
recently expressed, shall be put to the
test the light will be directly against
the criminal individuals who employ
capital for criminal purposes. MIR.
Bonaparte has declared that term

Blood Money Kings.

Europe, jealous of this new nation.
has been looking across the waters
and laughing in her sleeve at Uncle
Sam this score of years past. Why?
"Because," says Europe, "the repub-
lican form of government is a failure.
You have no blood royal kings in
America. but you have your blood
money kings, and those kings will
overthrow your liberties"
But Uncle Sam is saying to Europe.
"NOt if overthrow the blood money
kings first"
And that is the germ and gist of
trust busting.
The president has gathered about
him Il group of young men who have
become known as trust busters.
There are about half dozen of them
