ROOSEVELT PLEADS
FOR ANTITRUST LAW
PRESIDENT STRONGLY URGES
CONGRESS To ACTION AT
THIS SESSION.
Restrict Injunction Power-Abuses
OF Judicial Discretion Threaten
TO Destroy System.

Washington. april 28.---President
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon
sent to Congress a special message
setting forth In the strongest terms
the necessity of Immediate legisla-
ton strengthening the antitrust law
He reiterates his well-known views
as to the grave danger to free in
situations from the corrupting infiu-
ence of great wealth suddenly con
centrated in the hands of the few,
and urges the immediate passage of
measures similar to those he advo-
Gated In his former message on the
same subject.
Such legislation, he says, will be in
the interest of both the decent cor
porations and the law-ablding labor
unions. In this connection, he
sounds a warning to the labor lead
ers who have objected to the inclu-
sion Of labor organizations in the
antitrust law amendment, and says
plainly that the exception of the
unions from the operation of the
law would render the measure in
valid.
The legislation he proposes, he
points out, will not interfere in any
way with the right of the laboring
men to combine, to conduct peaceable
strikes, to make trade agreements
with their employers and to perform
other legitimate acts. There are,
however, he points out, cases in
which trades unions may take them
selves from under the protection Of
the law by attempting to interfere
with or restrain interstate commerce,
as, for example, by boycott or black
list. Hence the necessity of their
inclusion in the trust-law amend
ment.
In this connection the President
pleads for immediate legislation for
the preservation of the injunction
power, the abuse of which, he de-
clares, has placed 1t in jeopardy from
its enemies. This reform, he says,
must be granted at once, inasmuch
as the people demand it and expert
ence has shown that their demands
cannot safely be ignored.
Among other matters touched upon
In the message is the necessity for
an appropriation sufficient to permit
the examination of railroad books
of accounts and record under the
provisions of the Hepburn law,
which, it is stated, will be shorn of
most of its valuable feature II the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
not given means with which to con-
duct its Investigations into the opera
ton of railroads incompetently or
corruptly managed.
The President cones on to say that
1t is his personal belief that ulti-
mately we shall have to adopt a Ma
tional corporation law, though he is
well aware that this may be impos-
sible at present.
The man who breaches hatred of
wealth honestly acquired Is a menace
to the community. But his counter
part in evil Is to be found in that
particular kind of Millionaire,
of whom 1t has been well said that
his face has grown hard and cruel
while his body has grown soft; whose
son Is a fool and his daughter a for
eign princess"

The city marshals are touring the

looking after the private services on

keeping an eye out for your neighbours
chickens. For years past many peo-
pie have not been paying for all the
water they were using, some having
service which they had not reported.
The sprinkling season will soon begin,
and the growth of the city has made
the greater economy in he handling of
the water supply necessary. and all
who use water will be expected to pay
for it. If your chickens are loose YOU
may be called upon to pay for that,
too, although it may come in the way
of fine.

Religious Advertising.

We do not quite see the force OF the
objections registered by the New York
sun against the new method Of publicity
advocated by the American Unitarian
Association.
II has devised a practical scheme OF
publishing items Of news concerning the
association In thirty-two daily and twen-
ty-one weekly newspapers Of the couI-
Try. This press matter is run es adver-

ticabie. and displays considerable enter
prise. still asks. rs It commendable and
worthy?' and questions whether Il would
not shock d.. Claiming. and whether
such a practice can possibly have the in
dorssment o. the Rev. Edward Everett
Hale.
We DO not at all see the force Of any
objections urged against the wide-awake
plan Of the American Unitarian Associa-
ton. IN common with most enterprises.
il Is plain that the association realizes
that wide publicity makes for the great
est success, and It knows. too. that 10
device for publicity exceIs the columns
Of the daily and weekly newspapers. We
regard the plan not only as a marked
tribute 10 the good sense OF the directors
OF the American Unitarian Association,
but also as a wise and sane tribute 10
the better class OF American Journalism.
The advertising axiom, that II you have
a good thing It IS necessary 10 let the
public know It. certainly should hold
good IN religious as well as commercial
matters The religious organization
which INDUCES in judicious advertising
Is almost certain 70 be able at the end
of the year 70 show marked growth and
astonishing results.

Betting on the Election.

a good deal has been said particularly
by the Republican press. IN the last Few
days OF the ODDS offered against Sir.
Bryan's election by Loyd's Insurance
Company. It has been made 10 appear
that this company. which, It IS well
known. insUres against nearly every sort
Of loss imaginable. was Offering Odds
ranging from 10 10 ! against the elec-
ton Of 8Ir Bryan
As matter OF fact. investigation shows
that Lloyd's Agency Is Offering nothing
Ike the stated odds on the election. All
the company is doing. OF has offered TO
do, is 10 insure any business man against
& possible loss resulting from the cleo
tion OF 1lr. BTyan-a very different thing
On this subject. the Philadelphia Rec
ord has this 10 say:

sgrsnce that c0gld be had. Fox the American peo-
pie are not ilbe-iIes. and NJ Byzn would not

danger 20 the bushes q the country-"
This statement Of the real purpose cf
Lloyd's makes il plain that the insurance
offered provides for two contingencies.
One is the election Of Mr.. Bryan. and
the other IS against loss caused By NJ
Bryan's election. Both Of these facts
would have to be established before any
money could be collected On behalf OF the
premium paid We have, happily. just
passed through a period Of business de-
preston. caused by a disastrous panic.
Undoubtedly, this depression has cost va
rious Industrial enterprises large sums OF
money. and yet We imagine it would be
difficult for those who have lost those
sums to prove that the political party IN
power was responsible for the losses. And
shis in spite Of the fact that such news
papers as the Rochester Union and Ad-
vertiser declare the Republican party
has made its bed, politically, and must
lie in g. but it has also made a very
uncomfortable bed for the American peo-
PIE by the wicked exuavagances II pub
lie expenditure
The thought Of the country seems to be
agreed that it IS folly 10 assert that the
election OF Mr.. Bryan would bring about
any business troubles OF depression It
seems 70 be thoroughly understood that
the panic is over; that a particularly
boun-iful crop in all parts OF the coun-
Try Is bound 70 make times good again.
and to set this country once more on the
high road 70 prosperity. The mere fact
that this man or that is TO be placed at
the head Of affairs for the next four
years VIII not suffice. we think, to defeat
the ends OF Providence. which has worked

Invitation to Trouble.

Prom the Balr5u1-e News.
To raise rates now would be to invite
trouble It would inject an issue into the
campaign which doubtless would be vel
coined by opponents OF the party II power.
and which would precipItate demand for
prosecutions under the antitrust act
uniform advance OF rates throughout a
great territory by competing lines would
violate the Sherman act as construed IN
the traffic association cases. To make
that advance would be TO call down from
the business community demands that
prosecutions be forthwith started under
that statute. Both political and business
considerations would compel heed TO that
demand. Turmoil. insecurity. and COM

would Inevitably follow.

GREAT PARTY LEADERS,
Republicans Richer in Good Ma
teriaI Than Democrats.

From collisF's Weekly.
Why is it that leaders in one great party
are 80 much scarcer than IN the other7
The war gave to the Democratic party
stunning setback The soIidity OF the
South has kept it back. and free silver
completed the decentralization What is
the meaning Of the word Democrat, when
the most that has been done for the So
called Democratic policies has been done
by q Republican President who likewise
believes in tariff reform7 When the pres
ent Republican nominee indorses the poll
eies OF his predecessor?
Why IS La Toilette called a Republican, ?
Why do the "progressives" OF Kansas.
Nebraska, and Wisconsin work doggedly
with that party2 Why does the tariff
assaulting Mccall carry that name2 Apart
from e perfunctory adherence to a tariff
idea In which ne IS not interested. what
have the Democratic principles Of Gov
Hughes 10 do with the party in which he
is enroIled2
Men now IN later or middle life belong
10 the Republican party either as a direct
or indirect result Of the slavery conflict
Young men OF ability go into It because
the Democrats offer them no coherent
programme and a much weaker group OF
leaders.
Probably II would be better for the
country 10 have two parties led with
equal strength. but the Democrats viii
hardly furnish many leaders equal IN
ability to Roosevelt, Taft, Root. Hughes,
and La Toilette, until the South IS badly
broken. or until Intelligent and educated
Northerners feel al home in the Demo
cratic party
The president OF Harvard University
may be selected as an illustration. he IS
one Of the ablesJ men alive-a disIil-
guished leader OF his cOuntry's thought
He IS Democrat. but when VIII he have
an opportunity 10 vote the Democratic
r.cker II q narinnal eIerrior7
