ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE.

Roosevelt in his article attacking
the antitrust law published in the
Outlook, has aligned himself with
the big interests and it is generally
considered that he has made an
open bid for the presidency. At
least leading papers of the east so
regard it.
The New York World says:
Theodore Roosevelt makes Wall
streets objection to the Sherman
makes it's protest against the steel
trust suit his protest. He makes its
contempt for competition his con-
tempt. He makes it's demands for
new legislation his demand. The
value of the service which Mr.
Roosevelt is rendering to Big Bus
mess cannot be overestimated. He
comes to the relief of Big Business
at critical time, when it sorely
needs an advocate who can command
the attention of the country and
smear it's schemes over with a var
nish of political progress.
AS to the Roosevelt candidacy the
World says:
"Mr. Roosevelt is palpably a can
didate and his extraordinary politi-
cal genius has set for itself the task
of bringing about a co1lition be-
tween the antitrust progressives in
the west and the antitrust pluto
Gratis in Wall street. Of this coali-
ton he expects to be the beneficiary.
The country may as we'll face the
fact he is seeking third term-not
in the open manner of an avowed
candidate, but by the indirect pro-
cess of making Taft's nomination
impossible. Mr.. Roosevelt
would be the logical Morgan candi-
date for president in 1912. No
other candidate representing Wall
streets present desires could COM
mand such support
AS to the prospects of his nomin-
alton the World says, in another
editorial leader:
1T is not impossible; it is not i'm
probable. 81 The opinion lis wide
spread among republican politicians
that Taft, if renominated, is doomed
to defeat. Many of the western
states will send anti-Taft delegations
to the republican national conven-
ton. Some of these delegates will
be instructed for La Toilette; others
will be unpledged. The southern
mercenaries usually are controlled
by the administration, but they
would not hesitate to desert Taft for
Roosevelt if they thought Roosevelt
had better chance of election. They
are always for the candidate that
can keep them in Office. If New
York can be swung for Roosevelt
the convention can be stampeded.
Taft would fail Of nomination and

An Associated Press dispatch
says: Amendment Of the Sherman
antitrust law at the coming session
of congress is to be undertaken in
earnest by democrats of the house,
according to a declaration by Repre-
sentative Henry of Texas, ranking
member of the committee on judic-
larry. Representative Henry's an
nouncement came while President
Taft and Attorney General Wicker
sham were in conference at the
white house as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of supplemental .anti-trust legisla-
ton. The house democrats, it was
declared at the capitol. will push
legislation along this line, whatever
may be the administrations deter
mination in the matter. In addition
to antitrust legislation, the jul
dietary committee also has decided
upon revision of the Injunction stat
utes and the law regulating con-
tempt cases. 1.-THE coming session
of congress is by no means to be
ovetshadowed by tariff legislation,
said Representative Henry, in speak
ing of the plans of the judiciary
committee. "Of course, the tariff
revision will be of the greatest I'M
portance, but it will not minimize
other matters to come before the
house" r u,

PROMISES AND THE RECORD.

Administration papers continue
to say that president Taft will
urge upon congress tho need of tariff
revision as part of his program to
lower the cost of living.
That has familiar sound. That
is the appeal with which Candidate
Taft came to Iowa, that and his
hcirship to Roosevelt policies. He
was the candidate of the tariff re-
|visonists. His platform of the state
which presented him to the republi-
can national convention included the
Iowa shelter plank in every essential
and practically in the language of
that famous Iowa idea. So the can
didate acquired the faithful if not
enthusiastic support of the progress
sive valley and transmontane sec
tons Of the country and came to the
highest office and the one most in
fuential upon legislation. The sec
| tons which made his nomination
even possible and which elected him
| by their votes look upon the history
of his administration as the story OF
their betrayal The Payne-Aldrich
tariff law was indorsed by the pres
ident as the best which could be en-
acted. The senators and congress-
men who insisted upon the redemp-
ton OF republican promises and
pledges freely offered by the candi-
date to the country felt the limit of
presidential displeasure and official
reprisal. The conservation policies
approved enthusiastically by the vot-
ers were subordinated to the de-
mands of special interests. The list
of things undone which were prom
ised and of the things done which
were pledged against by platform
and candidate is too long for recita-
ton. Perhaps many of them were
faults of indecision and of weakness
rather than of deliberate repudia-
ton of pledges but the record re-
mains and it is of all things the un-
likeliest that these sections are to be
led into the same trap again with
the same bait President Taft may
mean all he says now. He may have
meant all he said when he was for the
first time a candidate. The question
is what will he do and the only an
swer is in the record of his admins
tratiOn.
The Payne-Aldrich bill stands in
the record. The whipping post for
progressives has been taken down
but the suspicion is strong that it
has not been destroyed but laid
away. The vetoes of the bills which
the last congress passed revising
downward some of the schedules
! most concerned with the cost of liv-
ing are in the record. The corpor-
alton bill drawn by Wickersham and
defeated in it's intent to repeal the
rate laws is in the record. 1t is un-
likely that promises made for or by
the president shall be able to out
weigh the record.

Champ Clark has borne an in

Champ Clark has borne an i'm
portant and honorable part in one
of the great reforms Of the age. He
has worked effectually and self-for-
getfully to transform the speaker
ship of the house from a Turkish
despotism into the simple and dem
ocratic office that it was meant to be.
He has aided in the passing OF I'M
portant measures through coalition
of progressives of both parties. But
Mr. Clark is not an unreasoning OPP
timist. He has at last come upon an
institution which may not be bent,
broken or reformed, which is the
lecture bureau. Lecture bureaus,
according to the speaker, are man
aged by blamed idiots, narrow,
prejudiced, blind to their own best
interests, deaf to reason and imper-
vious to demonstration. The reform
of Cannonism has been a mere de-
tail of the days work; but after de-
voting months of meditation and
hours of strenuous arguments to the
reform of the lecture bureau, he
gives it up in despair. 1t must wait
the man and the hour, even as Can
nonism has waited for Champ Clark.

THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS.

Inc Tune must De near at manu-
when the people of the United States
will turn in disgust and anger from
half-hearted attempts to regulate or
punish trusts and devote intelligent
attention to the thing that breeds
trusts, safeguards them and makes
them profitable. Men are already
asking these questions:
How can party that is dominated
by the trusts be expected to break
them up?
What hope is there of sincere
prosecution of the trusts at the
hands of an administration which,
like the two administrations that
proceeded it, was placed in power
by the trusts?
What else but trusts, combines,
conspiracies and monopOlies can be
looked into for in country that is
walled in by tariff Of eXtortions
laid not for any true public reason
but almost exclusively for the pro-
motion of private greed?
Why expect vigorous enforcement

The fact is that the people want
one thing and the men who have
capitalized the privilege, the plumber
and the graft of the protective tariff
want another. We cannot have
both.
The one great achievement, the
one paramount policy, of the repub-
lican party since the war has been
the protection and enrichment by
tariffs of the few at the expense of
the many. The few have eagerly &C

What stand-pat republicans once
lauded as a triumph has now come
to be regarded as crime. 1t is
condemned in the laws of the land.
Decent public sentiment is every

efforts are making in some places to
enforce these laws, but of more i'm

Retailers Are Bad Men.
The retailers and not the trusts,
nor tariffs, are responsible for the
ever-increasing cost of living in the
United States! At least, if the semi
official statements as to the work of
the tariff board are to be believed,
this is the kind of report that is to
emanate from that body. "Up with
the tariff rates! Down with the dry
goods merchant and the corner gro
cert" will likely be the protectionist
cry from now henceforward until
November, 1912. The tariff board,
composed of protectionists and near
protectionists, started out with the
obvious determination of finding the
tariff not guilty, and they intend
to return such a verdict, even though
the political heavens fall

A Democratic Way.

Congressman R. L. Henry, of
Texas, chairman of the Rules COM
mittee of the house, will make an eff
fort during the coming session of
congress to so amend the Sherman
antitrust law that trust criminals,
as he terms them, may be put in
Jail when they violate the law. He
is convinced there is no other remedy
for the trust evil.
"Fines and dissolution suits are
child's play for trust magnates,' he
said, explaining the bill he will in
troduce "Felon's stripes is the only
remedy for these commercial out
laws who violate the law. My bill
legislates the rule of reason out of
the Sherman law, and specifically
defines just what constitutes trust,
so that there can be no further
evasion on the ground that the stat
ute is ambigous."'
The Henry bill will provide i'm
prisonment for not less than two
years for each violation. The Texas
member has assurances, he says,
that his bill will become a law.

ECONOMY of Production"

Tainted news articles are being
sent out of Washington to the effect
that if the steel trust is forced to
G1ssolve-it will be too bad for toe
roor consumers, cor they will hence
forth be deprived of the economy Of
production resulting from the one
man management of the steel bust
ness of the country. The literature
goes on to say that great saving in
the cost of manufacture has been
effected by the scientific systemiza-
ton of steel manufacture has been
ton of steel manufacture by the
trust.
The fact is however, that the pres
ent prices of tin plate, wire and wire
products are from 10 to SO per cent
higher than the prices that prevailed
before the formation of the tin plate
and wire trusts in 1898. AS a re-
suit of the ECONOMY of production
which accompanied the birth of the
barb wire trust, the price of that ar
ticle jumped from $3.50 per hundred
pounds, in 1898, to Sab in 1899.
The present price is $2.O5, and the
quality much inferior to that turned
out before the trust was formed.
The steel rail pool has maintained
the price of steel rails rigidly at SIS
ton every day since the steel cor
poration was formed! Previously,
steel rails were selling we'll below
$40 ton.
The rule has been that prices have
advanced rapidly when trusts were
formed. If, as the steel trust liter
allure alleges, there were great
economies of production" the same
has gone to pay dividends of highly
watered stock, to offset heavy COM
tributions to republican campaign
funds and to make up the $29, 600
