Mr.. ROOSEVELT AND TRUSTS.
misconceptions as to the Attitude
Toward Them Cleared Up.

From the New Orleans Picayune
OF course, no one can foreteH what re-
actions Of public sentiment may occur
within a year or two. It Is possible that
the people may take that sober second
thought which Mr. Madison was wont to
count upon with so much confidence. 1t
may happen that they will begin to in
quire somewhat more particularly as to
the character and probable effect Of the
remedy which Mr.. Roosevelt proposes for
the trust evil. Mr. Roosevelt prescribes
regulation by the Federal government:
buJ that is a very vague formula. II may
mean one thing and If maE mean an
otner. But there Is one thing that Il
does not mean. II does not mean the ex-
tinctiOn Of monopoly. 1t does not mean
the rescue of the business of this coun-
try from the control of monster cor
pOTatiOns 1t does not mean q return to
the old system Of open competition and
an adjustment of prices in accordance
with the law of supply and demand.
| There are a great many people, il is to
be feared, who imagine that Mr.. Roose-
welt is making war Upon the trusts to
break them down and prevent their re
establishment, though he has himself
said repeatedly that they are necessary
and that they have come to stay. Only
a few years ago they were denounced as
positive and intolerable evils in every
quarter Of the country. and Congress and
the several State legislatures were enact
/ ing laws with view to their complete
suppression. Now Mr.. Roosevelt declares
that they are necessary, beneficial, and
ineXpugnable Is that the general con-
viction of the American people? If so,
what have the trusts done meanwhile to
wiz public confidence? If on the con-
Tray their existence is still deplured.
why is not Mr. Roosevelt rebuked when
he says that they are good things, and
that any attempt TO get rid of them
would be unwise? Precisely where and
/ how is his championship of personal lib
| erty and popular rights exhibited? He
! has done nothing to check the formation
/ Of trusts, nothing to arrest the concen-
| tration Of capital and the establishment
| Of monopoles. He proposes not the ex-
/ tinction, but the regulation of monopolies.

The President and prosnerItr.

Prosperity is a condition that everybody
desires, and a platform declaring for
il Is one on which all can unite. The
National Prosperity Association observes
signs that commercial and Industrial
stagnation is passing, Its address 70
President Roosevelt says that the present
need is confidence, and that to secure con-
fidence it is necessary 10 stop "demagogic
agitation" TO give the country a rest
from radical legislation affecting business
interests. The railroads ask 10 be LET
alone, the insurance companies ask to be
relieved Of restrictive legislation. the
trusts want TO be permitted to make con-
tracts in restraint OF trade, and so on

the Prosperity Association, 1.-THE nagglng

az ~NSAANtA-S a fDA44Bt revival OF 0a-
tionaI prosperity" The association IS op-
posed TO more legislation on the order of
that which has been placed on the statute
books, and its influence will be used to
Induce the political parties to promise
an era Of stagnation in legislation as a
remedy for stagnation in industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt expresses sympathy with
the object Of the prosperity seekers, with
a reservation in favor Of the legislation
he has himself proposed, which he re-
CARDS as merely a building on the broad
foundations that have been laid. He con-
demns unwise agitation, doubtless with a
mental reservation Of that in which he
himself engages. What he Is doing and
proposes TO do, in his own belief, contains
no menace to legitimate business inter-
ests. He is not enlisted in a visionary
and indiscriminate crusade against all
corporations. nor does he convict all bust
ness OF corruption The real malefactors
have been pilloried; all other business
men are safe from accusations Of dis
honesty or wTO1gd0ing The President
promises to cooperate with "any effort to
establish prosperity on right and honest
lines"
But the restoration Of prosperity will
require something more than addresses
and resolutions and political promises.
Perhaps more is being done in that line
by business men whose voices are not
heard in prosperity conventions, but
whose energies are being directed toward
rebuilding the damaged fabric Of indus
trial activity, than by politicians, anna
teur or professional.

LET ALONE WON'T DO.

From the Philadelphia Press
The anti-Roosevelt newspapers are
making a great ado over the little plat
form plank. let Us alone" This has a
rather smart and catchy ring 70 it, but
Is II right?
If let US alone means the absence Of
needless agitation Of whatever descrip-
ton it is well enough. But If ii means
the eondonement of ofenses Of any char
aCter whatsoever il is all wrong. The
people don't want things let alone. un-
less conditions are straight and honest.
The correction Of ills is not a pleasant
task. but it is towards work to avoid
1t just for that reason. The things the
light reveals when turned on may not
be beautiful to behold, but that is no
reason for continuing in darkness
The let us alone platform won't do

our tariff, and our corporation laws. all
of which are great issues and cannot

The party that simply lets things alone

A wonderful Oeeurrenee.

In many respects we are living nova
days in a most unparalleled time. Things
happen with such incredible swiftness
and dispatch that we merely gasp a time
or two, and let it go at that If some
one should come to the front tomorrow
with a perfectly practical alrship, no
one would express any great measure Of
surprise; indeed, we should accept It
quite as a matter Of course, and Won

OUR NATIONAL ASH HEAP.
Atlanta Blaze SweIIs the Fire Loss
OF the Year.

From the Boston Transcript
The national ash heap is still gaining
mass. both by small fires and by con-
flagrations Atlanta's experience helps to
swell the figures materially. The destrue-
tion Of a half-dozen business blocks there
means more than In some other cities Of
her class. because the new Atlanta is sub
stantially and somewhat extensively built.
It is in outward appearance more like
prosperous New England city than any
other place in the South. Moreover. its
fire department is more completely up to
date than any other in that section. It
has been the eitys particular pride and
its chief has been one of the best-paid
officials in that capacity in the
United States So it is not be-
cause Of exceptionally bad building or
of weakness in the means of fire protec-
tioH that a loss Of over q million has just
been incurred. The confidence of the citi-
zens has apparently been for some time
justified, because not for many years, If
ever, since the torch was applied to her
when Sherman marched to the sea has
she experienced so large a loss from
single fire. The first third of the year
has not been an encouraging enc for the
Insurance underwriters. April was par
ticularly bad month. the figures rising to
S26. 669, 900 for this country and Canada
This was nearly ten millions more than
the losses for March, though with the
Chelsea destruction eliminated the rec
ords OF the two months were about the
same. There were twenty-eight fires in
volving loss Of between S1e0,000 and 100000
and nine above the latter figure. Atlanta
leads thus far the present month.
