A Glance at the Past.

When Attorney General Knox, the
great trust lawyer, undertook to prose
cute the beef trust and the railroad
merger, everyone but the combine
magnates was delighted, and praised
Mr.. Roosevelt for doing something.
When the injunction was obtained
against the beef trust magnates, Ar
nour, ct al, co nmanding them not to
disobey the law and the order of the
court 10 the Northern Securities CON-
pany to disband that unholy alliance
was procured, unthinking people said
that trusts had al last found their mas
ter; but as the months rolled around,
those COZ poratons and combines still
continued to do business al the old
stan1; and VIXEN MIR. Knox told the
people that there would be ''no run
ming amuck against the trusts" there
began 10 be doubts in many minds of
the outcome; well-founded doubts, as
the sequel has shown.
When Congress ordered the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor TO inves-
tigate the beef combine and the Presi-
dent ordered the bad trusts to be in
vesitgated so that publicity" of their
doings would warn the public whom to
beware of, the hopes of the people re-
vived. The trust magnates became
res'ive and threatened to defeat Roose-
welt for election. The magnates of the
protected industries also threatened to
defeat him, unless ne declared for pro-
lection and "stood pat" like Hanna,
instead of orging real reciprocity like
Mckinley. The fate of Mr. Roosevelt
and the Republican party in the en-
SUNG election hung in the balance for
weeks. On one side were the trusts
with the money bags-on the other the
people. Slowly, but surely, the trust
side became the heavier. The trust
custer had succumbed to the threats
of the corporation and combine mag
mates and the dial of progress vas
turned backward. The assistant trust
buster Cortelyou, was made Chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
redolent with the perfume of trust
secrets and anxious for the promised
trust contributions to debauch the
people who still were innocently be-
iieving the day of their salvation from
crust plunderers vas at hand.
Roosevelt, the arrogant, had chosen
de became as docile as the proverbial
sucking dove. The big stick was laid
away in cotton batting. The Republi-
can candidate for President was tanned /;
and the trusts held the whip hand. Mr.
Roosevelt was elected, the trusts have
mad free sailing for more than tire !
years and the trust high prices have
continued. The people must decide
again at the coming election whether
my policies" of false pretense shall
win, or whether we shall have an hon.
est administration with real reform.

No Proxy for Justice.
From New York World. I


Unless Mr.. Taft has been stricken
with the conviction that it was an
error to make the Pr ky issue para
mount it is not easy to account for his
assertion that 1.-THE greatest question
now before the American public" is
the administration of justice in the
courts with promptness and cheapness
to rich and poor alike.
We find no plank to this effect in the
republican platform and Mr. Taft's
speech of1acceptance. though very
long, may be searched in vain for any
thing like it. The laws delays are
pfoverbial and money is powerful in
litigation. as elsewhere, but reforma-
ton of rules of practice, of evidence
and of procedure and appeal is hardly
to be effected at the heels Of Presi-
Dental race.
Moreover, the poor, in whose behalf
Mr., Taft's Sympathies have been sud
denly awakened, are not crowding the
Federal courts. They appear mostly
IN the State courts, with which the
President of the United States has
nothing to Go. They and others suffer
indeed from the antiquated methods
still enforced in many of the States,
but as the difficulty in local, so must
be the remedy.
If Mr.. Taft were less intent upon
the discharge of his onerous duties as
Mr.. Roosevelt's Proxy he would let
the courts alone for a while. He
would perceive also that President
may do much to establish justice
among rich and poor alike without
troubling himself about the courts.
! A President might discourage
jingoistic extravaganza and waste. He
might honestly strive for reduction of
tariff taxes laid for the enrichment of
privileged plutocrats. He might fair
ly and squarely favor income and in
heritance taxes. He might turn his
back upon the practice of gathering
colo ssal campaign swag from predator
interests that are projected and pro-
NOTED. He might in his own right
deal fearlessly with great offenders
and by wisdom. moderation and JUS
tice he might show mercy to the thous-
ands now in distress as a result, in
part. of the Presidential violence ano
lawlessness which. as Proxy, ne has
lauded
In truth, justice in the courts is
sometimes slow, uncertain and costly.
but justice in the courts compares
favorably with justice in the White
House in recent years. 1t is to justice
in the White House that Mr.. Taft
should 6evCte himself. Is Re to be
President or is he to be a Proxy?
There can be no Proxy for Justice.

Easter Sunday.

Easter Sund " falls on April
18th this year. Last year this
festival was very early, the Gate
being March 3lst, nine days later
than the earliest date on which
it can fall This year it is six
days earlier than the latest date
on which it can occur. 1t is one
of the movable feasts Of the
church and is regulated by the
moon. At the council of Nice,
325 A. d., the church fathers
decided that Easter should fall
on the first Sunday after the
full moon occurring on Or after
MarcE- 2lst. If the full moon
should fall on that day and it be
d Sunday, Easter is on TIE fol
lowing Sunday.
Since this arrangement was
made Easter has fallen ON every
date between the two extremes
March 22nd and April 25th, bu,
it is rare that it strikes these
days The last time IT was or
the earliest date was in 1918, the
last time it fell on Arril 25tl
was in 1889, and the next TIM
time it hits the last day will b.
in 1913.
This year the first full mool
after March 21st falls on Apri
10Th, and the following Sunday
April 18th, is Easter.

Absence Of Mind.

Many amusing anecdotes are told Of
Bishop Burnets absence Of mind, but
few perhaps are more striking and
have been less repeated than the fol
lowing, which Lord Oxford used to lie
late:
Burnet was once dining with the
Duchess Of Marlborough after the
great dukes disgrace. In the course Of
conversation. speaking Of Marlbor-
ough's great qualities, great services
and great fall, Burnet compared the
duke with Belisarius, the great Ro-
man.
But how in reason" exclaimed the
duchess, could so great general be
abandoned?"
"Ah, my lady, do you know what a
cursed birthstone of wife he had?"
The hearers, to the good Burnet's
surprise, were confused and duml
struck with the forcGrSf the parallel he
discovered in the cases of the Roman
and the Englishman.-St. James Ga
