The Presidents Message.

Washington. d. G. Dec g
President Taft's message ON the
trust was read in both branches Of
Congress today and was generally
well received. The Presidents ob.
lection to a repeal of the Sherman
law was Apr we'd by some of the
leaders on both sides, al huugh
Democrats held that his message
should have dealt with The tariff
Democratic Leader Underwood
said the Preside and the adrunls-
tration were trying 10 oversh allow
the tariff with trust issues.
The message is an able one from
the presidents standpoint" SAID
Underwood, "but we feel that the
opening message should have dealt
with the tariff There seems 10 be
an effort on the part Of The Presi-
dent and administration to force
trust issues ahead 1 am opposed
10 a rel eel of the Sherman law, but
there may be supple entail logisla
ton to define it, 1 do not think the
House favors Federal incorpora-
ton act"
Speaker Clark said he could not
discuss the message antil he had
studied it thoroughly.
Repu blican Leader Mann. who
has not always grocd with the

The only definite thing in Pres
ident Taft's message to Congre s
Is his attempt to prove that the
farcical tobacco trust decree is
a most excellent enforcement of
the Sherman ntitrust law. He
would make the people believe
that the tobacco trust decision
practically solves the trust prob
lem. He com2lacently assumes
that this decision is certain at
some definite period to restore
competition, and soften the evils
of illegal monopoly if it does not
indeed eradicate them.
Once again, therefore, the Pres
ident IL found advocating in a
message 20 Congress a cause that
Is not popular with the people, for
the morest tyro in the study Of
trusts recognizes in the tobacco
trust dissolution" a victory for
that monopoly. That even Wall
Street 50 considers it is evidenced
by the fact that the securities of
the tobacco trust are higher after
the dissolution" than before.
THE punishment inflicted up
on the American Tobacco com
pany for BEING in existence in
violation Of the law" declares
Chairman Stanley Of the Steel in
vostigating committee, is worth
hundre Is of millions of dollars to
that concern. There is not a
trust ia the United States or in
the world which would not give
millions to be dissolved as it has
been dissolved"
And the President devotes his
official message TO Congress to
an attempt to make it appear
that this tobacco trust decision is
great victory for the independ
ent tobacco men and the people.

vinced that the Government should

example of what the Burlington fans
may expect in the way OF players on
next seasons team, Manager Rohn
submits the name of Edward Hawk
as one of the pitchers. Hawk worked
with Quincy for the latter part of last

admiration of the fans. He was
big factor in helping Quincy win the

the strong men in the local lineup.
From all indications Burlington win

that will delight the hearts of the
bugs. While Owner Hayden leaves the
management of the club solely in the
hands of Manager Rohn. both men I'M
derstand each other thoroughly. Mr..
Hayden backs Rohn in every action.

he thinks will show UP half of the

Announcement was made Monday
Of the signing of Fred Broemke for
the position Of first base. Mr.. Hough
has been after Broemke for some
time and is well satisfied with his re-
quirements.
Umpire Johnson OF the Central

Manager Campbell of the Granite City
team, for whom he worked last sea
son. He worked IN fourteen games
and lost but two OF them. Speed and
control are his leading points. but on
account of having no experience IN
straight professional ball last season
he has been overlooked by the bic
