AN OPEN FIGHTER.

The simple fact is that there is great
controversy pending, and that the Presi'
dent of the United States is so placed
that he has almost countless avenues OF
Information, both official and private, as
tn what il going on in the camp OF the
enemy. FOR a great many Yeas past
the politics OF almost every state in the
Union has been more or less completely
controlled by railroads and other large
corporations, or else by political bosses
using money contributed from corporate
sources. In the great fight for the 'egu'
la,ion OF railroads and industrial cor
porations the government has been very
active through the department of justice,
the new department OF commerce. and
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

ous and secretive rather than open. Mr..

impossible In the future for the king
to obtain anything beyond the royal
allowance and to introduce a system
Of public accountability that would re-
veal the destination Of every dollar
that left the treasury. He kept his
promise. but he had to pay the back
a large sum and which he liquidated
by decree. In his measures he won
the support of the king because the
