that she had got into a row with the
management of The Duchess" company
and that she had fled because the play
was not success. These are the true
facts. although neither Miss Scheff nor

Recent litigation and legislation to
regulate the trusts are discussed and a
remedy 10 meet the present situation is
suggested by Theodore Roosevelt in an
editorial entitled THE Trusts, the Peo-
ple and the Square Deal" published yes
terday in The Outlook" THE suit
against the Steel Trust by the govern
ment." Mr.. Roosevelt begins, has
brought vividly before our people the
need Of reducing TO order our chaotic
government policy as regards business"
He ends with the following recommen-
dation:
THE national government exercises
control over interstate commerce rail-
ways. and It can in similar fashion,
through an appropriate governmental
body. exercise control over all industrial
organizations engaged in interstate
commerce. This control should be ex-
crciscd not by the courts but by an
administrative bureau or board, such as
the Bureau of Corporations or the In
terstate Commerce Commission; for the
courts cannot with advantage perma-
nently perform executive and admins
tratve functions"
Before taking up his general theme
Mr. Roosevelt pauses TO deny that the
representatives of the Steel Corporation
misled him while he was President. Re-
fcrring to the suit against the Steel
Trust, he says:
one of the grounds for the suit is the
acquisition by the Steel Corporation of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company; and II
has been alleged, on the authority of the
government officials engaged in carrying
on the suit. that regards this transac-
lion | was misled by the representatives OF
