R00SEVELTIkN POLICY
WHAT THE PRESIDENT or L
GREAT CORPORATION SAYS
OF IT.

PEnyiGTsly. 9fter panics, heads Of
great cti 90, atiCns have ignored the
p1,blic's natural interest in futIre
possibilities and have refused infor-
nation. Not so today Judge +. H.
Gary, the president of the United
States Steel corporation has recent
ly shown admirable frankness on the
questions of the business outlook
and the relations of his company to
the so-called new dispensation or
Rooseveltia policy. Judge Gary
said:
'I am an optimist; forced to be
one by the conditions of the country
as I see them. We have been travel
ing in the clouds of uncertainty and
1istrust. Sometimes II has been diff
ficult to distinguish the way; but
soon the clouds will begin to disap-
pear and we shall see that we are on
the mountaintop of onDortunity.
This country produces from the
ground annually not less than ten bill
lion dollars in value. and large
portion of this consists of necessities
which the nNoDle of this country and
other co., -rioe need and will pay
for, whilo y 7arco nortion of our eX-
penditures for imDortations consist
os luxuries A little economy for the
next twelve months will result in the
retention in his country of the pro-
ceeds of the balance of trade, and
we shall have ample funds for our
business necessities. In spite of the
demagogue or the anarchist-and
one is about as bad as the other
this country is going to be success
full and prosperous.
On the second point Judge Gary
said:
'Frequo7tly remarks of personal
character are made in jest which are
supposed to be made in earnest.
do not deal in personalities. | do
not believe in vituperation nor in
fulsome praise. There are questions
under consideration at this time OF
the greatest Importance. They re-

and action of the President upon

tate to state in public that the policy
of the present administration, criti-
cised by some and praised by others.

CAN We REGULATE
MONOPOu|ES
BRYAN SAYS NOT-PUBLIC MUST
EITHER OWN THEM OR DE-
STROY THEM.

Those who advocate government
control of trusts go halfway to So
cialism," said Mr.. Bryan, ''for they
are granting the socialistic conten-
ton that there is an economic advan-
tage in monopoly. They not only de-
clare against competition as a regu-
lating force; they eliminate all ques-
tions but two:
First: Whether the benefits of
monopoly shall be enjoyed by all the
people or only by a few; and they
will hardly contend in the open for
the few. So that we come to the
Second: Whethere the state can
secure to the people by regulation
the benefits of monopoly. And if mo-
nopoly is good and it can't be regu
lated, then public ownership is in
eVitable.
And l believe that regulation of
monopolies will be found impossible
Their interests are so large, their
power is so concentrated, their means
so ample to corrupt and to force out
competition, that the monopOlists
will have constantly an advantage
over the people at large
If regulation is impossible, what
then are we to do? Mr.. Bryan said:
First, we must strengthen the
representative character of the gov
ernment by electing senators by dl-
rect vote of the people.
Second, as to the railroads and
other natural monopOlies, we must
try faithfully and fairly to regulate
them till they have taught the peo-
pie that they cannot be regulated.
Third, as to the other, the artifi-
cial monopolies, we must eXterminate
them ami return to the competitive
system, and the ways to eXterminate
these trusts are several" He gave
them.
Cd Enforce the criminal laws.
(2) Tariff reform. Il would put
on the free list foreign-made articles
in competition with domestic trust
made articles"
CD But the most effective way is
national license; not like the pres
| ident's: his would embarrass legiti-
mate and help illegitimate corpora
ions. It is possible to require IL
| cense for corporations controlling,
say % per cent This would leave
the small corporations untouched.
Not more than one in thousand
would be required to take out IL
! cense. But a licensed corporation
should act under federal supervision
till it controls, say. 80 per cent of the
product. Then forbid its further
growth ''-Everybojy's

h1mselO who occupies a position of
responsibility. The declarations of
the president have increased the feel
ing of responsibility of many of us
toward our competitors, our custo-
mers, our employees, and the. public
generally. In my opinion business is
done on better basis and on a high
er plane because of the conduct and
example of the President; and it is
due to him that an acknowledgment
of this fact be made by those who
are affected. Appleton Magazine.

Horse Scared to Death.

Frank Haynes, of Coulee City, lost
valuable horse last Monday in a
peculiar manner. He was tied to a
hitching post in front of the hotel
when Mr.. Yancey and Mr.. Hummer
came by in an automobile on their
way to Spokane. They stopped and
one of them entered the hotel. The
sight of the auto seemed to frighten
the horse and Frank stepped to his
head to pacify him. The horse
seemed to tremble with fear, and at
once sank down, dying instantly,
supposedly from fright.-Waterville

Sir Thomas Upton has committed
many generous acts during his life
about which he can never be induced
TO talk.
He is fond, however, of telling of
an incident which happened in his
carly DAYS, concerning an astu'e
mother who forced him to raise her
SOM wages because Sir Thomas had
prescatcd him with a brand-new srit
Of clothes.
Sir Thomas started business with
one assistant. a boy of fourteen, who
was willing and honest one day the
lad was overheard complaining that
his clothes were 50 shabby he was
unable to % TO chapel.
Mr.. Iiptoh. as he then was, was
making every sacrifice to cnllrge his
little shop, but he took small
amount from his carefully boarded
savings and bought the boy a suit of
blue cloth
The next day the boy didn't come
to work. and Mr.. Upton. meeting his
mother in the street. asked her the
reason
why, Mr.. Upton" she said, curt

thanks to you, sir, that | thought

Sir Thomas meekly took the hint
and offered an increased salary. which
