As Third.Term Issue.

Charging that the trust commission
has been picked up by Roosevelt as his
third term presidential issue, Mr.. Henry
says:
This will make him the candidate for
the steel trust which he defends and the
advance agent of the reactionaries. not
the progressives. In my opinion he is
crowd and on q mighty bad issue. and
even Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Wickersham can
whip him in his party"
Mr.. Henry denies that the democratic
subordinate the tariff issue, but says that
on the contrary II will be magnified and
kept in the very forefront Of political
issues until the country Is on q revenue
basis.
But there are other issues Of vital and
supreme Importance to the American
people," he says, land amendment Of
the antitrust law Is one OF them. DEM
ocrats do not intend to relegate this
problem to the background. If Mr.. Taft
is in earnest. we win give him aid in
perfecting that law.
Bad Trusts Enumerated.
ut is conceded there are many bad
trusts, among them the tobacco. Standard
OH. steel trust and the sugar combina-
ton. Then let's meet the emergency
and properly deal with them. here is
only one certain way. Define by statute
the acts that constitute q trust or con-
spiracy against trade and then affiA an
adequate and certain punishment. Elk
perfence proves that no punishment short
of felon's stripes Is adequate. A peni-
tentiary imprisonment from two to ten
years will break up these trusts and
deter the great criminals, such a. those
referred to by Roosevelt in regard to
the tobacco trust.
Democrats certainly win make no war
on corporations and legitimate corporate
interests, no matter how large they may
be. We only want to destroy the trusts.

Sylvester's Report.
In his report on the resolution Maj.
Sylvester declares that it would be
advantageous IL street cars were made
subject to the traffic regulations of
the District at congested corners. Such
an arrangement, he says, would work
to particular advantage at 18th street

For some time District officials have
been impressed with the fact that the po-
lice should be given more authority in
handling congested conditions at street
intersections.
The Chamber Of Commerce resolution,
which requires that motormen shall con-
form to all reasonable directions Of men,
bers of the police force engaged in regu-
lating traffic at street crossings" prac-
tically covers the situation, as far as the
views of the local officials are concerned,
