would prefer to have congress revise
a scheme of Wholesale regulation of
corporations under Mr.. Taft's moder-
ate and kindly hand, or whether they
would rather take the chances of deal
ing with Mr.. Roosevelt, who would
undoubtedly be less gentle and more
radical. The choice is with them now:
later on it will oe with the people if
they do not act"
This is the opinion of one who is
conservative and who would like to see
Taft succeed himself. There are 9TH
ers who are willing to declare outright
az this time that Taft cannot be elect
ed again, but that he will be succeed
ed by Roosevelt, by some other repub-
lican, like Hughes, or by democrat.

AFTER THE SUGAR MEN.

1t may be taken for granted that
the prosecution of the sugar trust will
meet with general approval Humble
householders who have been paying
toll to this giant monopoly will re-
joice that its officials are to be placed
upon the grill.
The sugar trust is not in trouble,
though, because it is a monopoly It
has been caught cheating the govern
ment so it is claimed by bribing
customs officers to report false
weights and valuations with respect to
sugar imported to this country. In
other words the trust has engaged in
= very common kind tf swindling II
these charges are well founded of
course the trust should be prosecuted.
The government is very rigid in petty
matters 1t makes every fourth class
postmaster account for every postage
stamp intrusted to him. 1t makes
its Indian agent keep account of the
handles of the old brooms discarded
after they have become worn out. Why
should it allow a great corporation
like the sugar trust to pocket hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that
should be paid the government in du-
ties? The government has prosecuted
many humble eastern Oregon ranch
ers because they acquired land in a
manner that former government Of
ficials had declared was legitimate.
Why should Havemeyer ct al escape?
Here's hoping though, that the de-
partment Of justice will take after
the higher ups" who profited by the
swindle and the chief officials who
knew of the fraud 1t would be fol-
ly to indict the office boy, the freight
handlers and the janiter and to let
the others go free. To use phrase
recently credited to Secretary Ballin-
ger, though used in a different sense,
there has been too much of this"

TAFTS SUCCESSOR.

Predictions are being freely made
that Roosevelt will again be called
to the presidency upon the compile
ton of Taft's term. One of the most
interesting observations along that
line is contained in the last issue of
Henry Clew's Financial Review. In
part it is as follows:
The President has just finished a
tour of 1900 miles throughout the
country, traversing the populous dis
tricts Of all sections. He has thus
come in close touch with political
sentiment. and has evidently found the
sc-called Roosevelt policies popular.
Having been elected on promises to
carry out these policies, it is to be ex-
pected that he will more or less ia
vor legislation unacceptable to cor
porations and that agitation on these
lines will be renewed when congress
opens. To the disinterested observer
this Is not altogether surprising. A
strong hostile public opinion has un-
fortunately been created against our
large corporations, chiefly because Of
abuses incidental to their rapid
growth. It will be conceded that these
corporations possess enormous power,
and that by means of further combi-
nation they might be able to exercise
an influence that would by corruption
or other means threaten the supre-
macy of the government itself.
The placing of such vast in
terests in the hands of a few
men, who absolutely control the
destinies of hundreds of thousands If
not millions of our population, cannot
reasonably be expected to be perma-
nent The people will rule. They will
insist upon the open field and fair
chance This is the foundation of
our government, and no power that is
able 20 seriously interfere with that
object will be tolerated. The threat
ened control Of our industries and our
railroads by small groups of men, or
ganized for purely selfish purposes
ard having little or no regard for pub
lie welfare, has awakened a deep
seated feeling of uneasiness among
the masses and is really the chief in
centive for most Of the socialistic
propaganda which is spread broad
cast today. Mr.. Hartman was a man
achieved great results, but the system
of excessive Capitalization in industry
for which he pre-eminently stood Is
in violent conflict with all the princi.
pies Of this government, which aims a.
equality Of opportunity to all. Roose
velt's tremendous popularity in thi'
country was based upon his clear re-
cognition Of the fact that public vel
fare was being frustrated by our grea
railroad and Industrial combinations
His methods Of cure may not Away
have been the wisest. but his purpos'
was sound and his policy will prove
winning one. although in the rougl
and tumble Of battle more or less in
furious agitation ind legislation ma

Thereupon said the man to his wife:
