thought that the combined
popular vote of Mr.. Taft aud Col.
Roosevelt exceeded by million
the popular vote of Governor VIII.
son, and reason that with but one
candidate in the field they would
easily have won. We would not
deprive them of such consolation
as they may derive from this fact,
but their logic is faulty. The con.
ditions that caused the division of
their party would have continued
even if Col Roosevelt had not
bolted the Chicago convention and
started his new party, or if he had
secured the nomination at Chicago.
A large part of the Roosevelt fol-
lowing would not have supported
Mr.. Taft. Thousands of them
would have voted for Governor
Wilson in preference, and other
thousands would have reirained
from voting. With Colonel
Roosevelt alone as the Republican
standard bearer, the result would
have been the same, Thousands
of the old line or stand pat Re
publicans would not have supported
him; many because Of the erratic
character of the man, others be-
cause of the sentiment against a
third term for any man for Presi-
dent. Governor Wilson would
have been elected in either event.
The future of the Republican party
depends upon whether the leaders
can reOrganize the scattered and di-
vided elements into homo
geneous party. That this can be
done is improbable, and owing to
the apparent disintegration of the
old Republican party, in the read.
justing process many may align
themselves with the party in power.
The Democratic party will be on
trial for the next four years, and if
its work is satisfactory to the
country its strength will be aug
mented. 1t will not eater upon
this work in any haphazzard way,
but with leaders of long experience
in public affairs and many of our
ablest and best equipped statesmen.
So it may be seen that any hope
the routed Republican hosts may
have of closing up their ranks or
of the Democrats making some
grievous blunder that will discredit
them in the eyes of the people,
hangs by a slender thread.

A man at Campbell has a banana
stalk, three years old, from which
he secured this year fifty-three ba-
nanas. These are probably the first
bananas ever grown and ripened In

STEEL TRUST |S RESULT 0F TARIFF Stanley Steel Investigating Committee to Recommend
 Radical Changes. REPORT THIS WEEK Parties Injured By Monopoly May Pro.
 e"ed Directly Against the
 Corporation.
REPORT THIS WEEK

Washington, July 16--The Stanley steel Investigation committee will re- commend two radical changes in the existing law, each aimed at eombi- nations that seek to crush lndepen- dent rivals and perfect monopoly.
 Damage claimants against a co1,- Vleted trust or monopoly shall not be required to re-establish the case ad- ]ud cated against the trust or mono poly which is stepped from challeng- Ing this testimony and proof.
 Trust injured parties may proceed dlre2tly i'll the courts against the trusts fer damages or relief without wait F g for the attorney general to proceed under the Sherman law.
 The report will charge that the steel cooperation Is trust and that it has a monopoly of the iron ere and centl lels the production of steel It Is stated that the reason for the ac- quirement by it of the Tennessee Ceal and Iron Company property was to break down competition Tn manu- fracture Of steel between the Bessemer and the openhearth systems.
 The Steel Trust it is claimed, is a creature of the protective tariff which tariff enables it to rob the government and to steal from the people. It is the root of the high cost of living.
 Republican members of tlle commit tee agreed with the Democrats today to approve of the dissolution of the street trust and the government suit tG that end. They met later to con- slider mincmity report which will differ from the mapority report which will differ from the mojority repor. as to recommendation of legislation to remedy alleged abuses and evils. The report is expected to be com pleted this week.
