TO SUPPRESS THE
MUCK BAKERS" l."

MUCK MAKERS.
 The so-called muck raking'' mag;i- zines have, according to the IN. Y. Press," attracted at last the attention of J. Pierpont Morgan and he has proceeded to deal with them in char acteristic fashion. If the Press" $ correct, he has taken into his firm as q partner Thomas W. Lamont who is said to control magazines with a total circulation of 3,000,000 and to be looking for others with a fair prospect of capturing some which are strug- gling with indebtedness.
 It has long been reported that "the interests" control several of the big New York papers. Now, there ap- pears to be a possibility of their cap control of several magazines. Of course. the purpose is to stop, or at least check, the so-called 'muck-rak- ing" As all know, several of the upon the operations of what Thomas lawson called high finance, through Investigations made by skilled writ CTS. The pioneer in this work was Ida M. Tarbell. and her topic was the Standard oil Co. Others have followed. but with other big corpora- tions and trusts as their subjects. It is not perhaps too much to say that this so-called muck raking'' exer- cised Q material influence upon the November elections and that, unless checked, 1t will also affect strongly the Presidential election of 1912 and, possibly will also check in some de- gree the operations of "the interests in further ''frenzied finance"
 There is coming to be a doubt whether J. P. Morgan is not becom- ing much too great a power. He controls. directly and indirectly banks, trust and insurance companies, railroad systems, industrial trusts etc. with an aggregate capital run ming into the billions; he is said to control, directly or indirectly, several of the big newspapers of New York city: he is now said to be seeking control of the magazine field.
 We had need pray ARd heartily, for our deliverance; Or this imperious man will work us

 From princes into pages; all mems
 honors

 Into what pitch he please.
