NO TRUST MoNIToRF FOR TEDDY

1t is an erroneous supposition that
President Roosevelt always is ready ana
willing to receive present. He Is
credited with drawing the line at an
offer of another entry in the presiden-
tial race, and he has just refused
present of watch. So the idea is
mistake that he will receive as a present
anything from a big stick to a i've
grizzly bear.
The presidents refusal to accept the
gift of an American watch, neatly In
scribed. is an incident that will bear
special notice. The watch in question
was bought in England from dealer
who had purchased a stock of like Kind
from the American watch combine. The
cost of the watch to the English dealer
was s7.9S. A watch exactly similar and
made in the same factory, as stated by
the person who offered the gift to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, would cost an American
dealer $1S.5s.
Why did the president so promptly
refuse the gift of that watch, thus re-
cording the first refusal of any gift, so
far as the public has been advised? Be-
cause of this explanation by the person
who rendered the present: you will
find engraved on this watch, in as few
words as possible, indisputable evidence
of the watch trust methods, which show
serious discrimination against the
American dealers in favor of the for
eigner"
Therein is further evidence of the
presidents unfiinching purpose to sup
port the basic principle of his party and
to stand by his friends who are the chief
beneficiaries thereof.
Under the present top-notch tariff,
which has made trust dominance pos
sible in the United States, the importa-
ton of watches and parts of watches is
practically prohibited by duty of 40
per cent. With foreign competition thus
shut out, the American watch trust is
enabled to follow the railway maxim to
charge all the traffic will bear" or
rather to charge for watches all that
the market will stand without the risk
of importations from Europe, even in
face of the 40 per cent duty.
Out of the enormous profit derived by
that 40 per cent protection the manu-
facturers in the watch trust are en-
abled to compete with European watch
makers in the home markets of the lat
ter. And thus it is that American
watches are sold all over Europe at
prices below the figures for which the
same grade can be had in the shadows
of the American factories.
This showing of the outrageous in
justice of high tariff effects in the watch
making industry is only one example of
the way in which the whole system of
high protection works to the injury of
the American consumer. All the other
big American trusts are in like manner
using the large profits derived from do
nestle sales to push their business in
foreign markets. And 1t is by this
means that the great volume of Ameri-
can exports is made possible, as lauded
to the skies by the trusts and the party
which supports them.
President Roosevelt will tolerate no
monitor in his vest pocket reminding
him with it's tick that the protected
trusts are fleeing the American people
numerically for the sake of undersell-
ing foreign manufacturers in their own
markets.

JUDGE GROSSCUP TALKS.
"CorporatiOns to Industry What
Government Is to People" !"

IndianapoIs oct. 26-Judge Peter S. Grosscup
Of the United States Circuit Court, Chicago. was
the principal speaker at the Columbian Club din
ner here this evening. Judge Grosscup, after
pointing out that the Sherman antitrust law had
''manifestly failed to eXterminate the corpora
tions." said. in part:
What is the wrong that lies at the bottom of the
Dopular disuuiet. and what Is the work yet to be
done? l can answer that question in the statement
of three facts The first of these Is that not ony
is the corporation to modern industry organized
what government is to mankind politically organ
fzed but that as 1t is through effective free gov
ernment alone that political power is dlnused
among the people it is through the corporation
alone that the ownership of the industries of the
country can ever be widely difused among the
people: for outside the field OF agricultural prop
critics property is not now held each individual
piece by some individual man; between the man
who seeks to and the thing to be owned there
is throug the industrial field the state created
The second fact is that though the Industrial
property of the country is not widely ttifused
among the people. the people have the financial
means to bring about such diffuSon-that 1t Is on
their individual wealth. poured through the financial
streams into Wall Street, that all the great corpora
tiOns now chiefly rest And the third fact is thfs
the peoples lack of ownership in the Incorporated
property of the country Is not because the men and
women who have saved something have no wish TO
that the workman and emplOye nave no wish to
have some proprietary part I'm the enterprise to
which they attached but chiefly because. as the
corporation Is now organized and managed there
IS no reasonably way to set such savings at
work to acquire such part.

NEW YORK GOLFERS WIN
BEAT QUAKERS EASILY,
Metropolitan, Team Gets Lesley Cup
for the Third Time.

RrookIine Mass Oct 26-For the third year
in succession the New Yale golfers, led by wal
ter J. Travis, had no trouble IN winning chleL
honors in the tri-city matches for the Robert w.
Lesley cup. IN decisive contest to-day at the
Country Club New York defeated Philadelphia
thirteen matches TO two The meeting OF the
opposing forces in singles during the morning
practically settled things, for by winning eight
of the ten matches New York made victory GER
tain, no matter how the fOursones should turn
out.
As the cup was won in the first half Of the
days play interest in the afternoon contests re-
solved itself into speculation as 70 the decisive
ness OF the victory. The od-fashiOned two-ball
foursoIneS were tried this year for the first time
Mt the suggestion of the Boston players backed
up by the Philadelphians. As Boston lost yes
terday through inability TO make good at four
somes, while Philadelphia failed TO win match
At the same style this afternoon the joke seemed
to be on them. especially as the New YORK anna
teurs were loath TO make any change in the
conditions.
incidentally the whole affair comes as set
back for the Massachusetts golfers, who had
high hopes yesterday morning Of not only de
feating Philadelphia, but the Metropolitan team
as well. On the other hand, it may be SAID that
the outcome OF the decisive match was also IN a
way unexpected. Not that Philadelphia was
fancied to defeat the Metropolitan team. which
had all the earmar6s Of a winner, but because
the Quaker City combination looked equal to at
least putting up close fight
The tri-city matches were started IN lSo7'
when teams from the Philadelphia, Massachu-
setts and Metropolitan associations met at Gar
den City on the first day New York beat
Philadelphia after d close match in the singles.
The former then disposed of Massachusetts by
finishing strong in the four-bali contests during
the afternoon.
The following year, at Philadelphia, the Quak-
ers lost TO their Boston rivals on the first day.
In the decisive match the New Workers once
again proved too strong, especially at the four
ball game.
