Tn the January number of the YTwentieth Century. there appears remarkably illuminating article by William Kittle on "The Progressive HIovement.' He uses the phrases Big Business" and "The System" as synonyms and explains, in substance, that these phrases cover such special interests as the railroads, street rail- ways. public utility corporations. the Steel, Standard Oil. Beef. Sugar, To- 6acco and Coal Trusts and the insur- 1nce and speculative banking compan- | les. They operate in Congressional action through what MT. Kittle calls .cannokl1Sm and Aldrichissn.' He de- -s<s. most Interestingly the methods pursued.
