AN OPEN FIGHTER:

The simple fact is that there IS q
great controversy pending, and that
the president Of theFUnited States is
80 placed that he has almost count
less avenues Of, information, both Of
nclal and private, as to what is going
on IN the camp Of the enemy. For a
great many years past the politics of
almost every state in the Union has
been moreOr less completely control-
led by railroads and other large oor4
porations, or else by political bosses
using money contributed from cor
pcrate sources. In the great fight
Tor the public regulation of railroads
and industrial corporations the gov
eminent has been very active through
the department of justice, the new
department of commerce, and the in
terstate commerce commission. It
would be too much to expect that the
great corporations, commanding con-
troll Of thousands of millions of dol
lars of capital, and ably served ev-
efyWhere in the country by legal. DO
l1hcal, and business agents should
not have been very actively at work
TO- withstand the attempts of con-
gress, the adm Illustration and The
courts to bring them under regula;-:
ton and restraint. But, as every on 9
knows, the political methods of the
railroads and corporations have al
ways been mysterious and secretiye
rather than open. MT. Roosevelt's
method, on the other hand, is always
thatrof the open attack and the frank
appeal to public opinion. His mes
sage was evidently intended to arouse
the interest and curiosity of the
country, and to subject to suspicious
scrutiny, in all localities, the, politi-
cal methods employed by corporate
interests. The newspapers in this
country that are directly or indirect-
ly controlled by the great corpora
tions are of considerable number, and
their attitude toward tn eadminis-
tration Is one of the things the presi-
dent evidently wishes the public to
understand.-From The Progress Of
