Continuation of Corporations.
1T is undoubtedly possible for the
industrial corporations and the transpor-
tation companies with the Standard Oil
at the head to bring about a union of
forces for concerted action That union

Think of the joy of the Standard OIL
IN 'Self-Supporting' organization which
would daily deceive all the citizens of the
United States No more subsidies to
newspapers and magazines and lecturers
No more subscriptions for ten thousand
years and season tickets for 10000 per-
even profitable organization which under
MIR. Archbold's direction could be brought

does. Perhaps the peoples public ser
wants could be controlled then without
the need of so many secret certificates of
deposit and certainly any exposures of
men like Foraker and Haskell would be
suppressed as yellow Journalism and news

-'In complete ignorance of what was oc-

Mr.. Grasty, to whom Mr.. Archbold
wrote a letter that 1 lately read, wrote
letter to Mr.. Archbold on Dec. 4, 1903. The
| letter refers to the subsidized Manufac-
turers' Record and says:
" Dear Mr.. Archbold-In the article.
/ Teachers vs.. Doers, in the Manufacture
erS Record this week, there is world
of good common sense. Although Mr.. Nor
gan is commended as the leader in rescu-
ing transportation properties and thereby
meeting the needs, of the country, yet
some consideration is given to the powers
that have expanded our commerce. Now.
while it is expedient under existing condi-
| tons to do all that we can to turn the
tide of anti-Morgan sentiment. neverthe-
would be a good thing if Mr.. Morgan
could be peacefully and quietly sup
planted as the most conspicuous repre-
sentative of financial power.
"Man of Sanity and Feelers."
" Unless you have devoted more time
than busy q man is likely to be able to
spare for such purpose TO that great
mans loss of the public confidence, you
can scarcely realize how much harm has
been done by his undoing or what people
consider the exposure of his methods But
whatever may call it. the effect of
the discredit which has befallen him has
been to make the public believe-or at
least to take neutrality-suspicious. stories
connected fo- demagogic effect prior to
these disclosures, were considered as un-
founded and unworthy of credence. A
number of my friends-rnen of sanity and
feelers of the public pulse-have earnestly
expostulated against the course we have
taken in Mr.. Ms defense, saying with
singular unanimity ne does not deserve
it and will not appreciate it"
:" L am telling you all this because 1
honestly believe interests of such immeas-
urable magnitude af Mr.. Morgan's is sup
posed to be, ought to be under the con-
troll Of wiser men-men with sense enough
surrounded the ship-building deal.
Hearst and Roosevelt.
A substitution of controlling power-a
change of generals-seems to me the only
way to escape the consequences and head
off public distrust of our great organiz3-
lions and to stop the supply of fresh
ammunition TO the trust busters
Now among the latter ! put Theo-
dore Roosevelt and W. R. Hearst in the
organization of immense efficiency, made
up of first class high-priced brains
backed not by a barrel, but by a hogs
head. and is liable to be the Democratic
nominee for the presidency. That Roose-
foregone conclusion. Now in times of de-
preston the slogan anything for a
change" goes a long way. If change
be even possible-in my opinion. IL Is
probable-people who stand for the main
the greatest good to the greatest num-
her, ought to be arranging TO prevent
the possibility of such a disaster as
Hearst's election TO the presidency.
