From the Brooklyn Eagle
Some years ago Theodore Roosevelt tn IN
Vice President, declared it to be highly un-
desirable to weaken individual initiative,
adding that there was but the Scantiest JUS
LITIGATION for most of the cutlery against
men of wealth. Perhaps he would like to
revise the addition. Perhaps he would like
to after it by saying that there is more
than scant justification for the cutlery. Ger
tanly, he would not have to look far for
cases in point. year ago the insurance
world was convulsed. 1t has not yet re-
covered from the shock of disclosures al
most paralyzing. Now comes the turn of
the railroads, which may otherwise be de-
scribed as the turn of men engaged in the
accumulation of what Mr. Bryan would call
predatory wealth. Though investigation is
only at the threshold, it has gone far
enough to show that many of them made
the most of their many opportunities.
