TAFT Prosecutions Farce.
When Mr. Shelton testified that 7S1s
per cent of Mr.. Rooseyelts campaign
fund in 1904 came from corporations
a source now closed by criminal stat.
ute-and when the testimony further
showed that four men--Mr Friel1, who
was largely interested in the steel
trust; Mr.. Archbold, leading official
of the Standard Oil trust; ]. Pierpont
Morgan, the master mind of many
trusts, and Mr.. Gould, the railway mag.
nate--had given 100000 apiece to the
Roosevelt campaign fund, in addition
to the $4,000 afterwards added by
Morgan and the one.fourth million dol
lars raised by Hartman, the public
STOOD aghast at the liberality display
ed by these very practical" men.
No disclaimer that may be put for
ward by these men will weigh with the
public; their cant about disinterested
patriotism only adds insult to the in
jury they do the public in purchasing
Immunity for their conscienceless
practices. We have the testimony of
some of these men that they expected
their contributions to be appreciated,
and those who deny expectations do
not raise their regulations for candor.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft have been
good to the trusts, Mr.. Roosevelt in
not prosecuting any considerable num-
Der of them, and Mr. Taft in convert
ing prosecutions into a farce by the
so-called dissolutions consented to.
A Bill of Health to Trusts.
The positions taken by the three
parties are now. or ought to be. clearly
understood, and it is difficult to see
how any fair minded man can fail to
indorse the democratic position. Mr.
Taft considers that the present anti
trust law is sufficient, and declares
himself ready to enforce it.
Ii we can judge the future by the
past, the enforcement will be more
like comic opera than like serious
criminal procedure. Dissolution of the
trusts in such a way as not to change
the management of the new organiza-
tions is not dissolution at all, and to so
dissolve them as to raise the price of
the stock stamps the proecution as a
fraud. In addition to the immediate
pecuniary advantage obtained from
the administrations actions the trusts
secured a bill of health.
President Indorses the Supreme Court,
what would the public think of
sheriff who, instead of taking a stolen
horse from a thief and putting the thief
in Jail. returned the horse. gave the
thief colt to go with the horse and
then sent him out to steal again, forti-
fed by certificate of character?
Mr.. Taft has also indorsed the action
of the supreme court in legislating the
word unreasonable" into the anti
trust law, thus paralyzing it as Grim
ina statute. Mr.. Taft does this, all the
time insisting that he is trying to pre-
vent monopoly Surely no relief can
be expected from him or his policy on
the trust question.

These words are still fresh in
the minds OF the Daughters of the

Mclean come out as a candidate, it is
thought she will be successful.
Mrs. Story, of New York, was the con-
servative candidate for president general
in 1909. but was defeated by Mrs. Scott.
When the announcement OF Mrs. Scott's
election was made at the congress in
Mrs. Story made brave ef-

War between England and GERMANY
was prophesied by Prof Victor puras
OF New York City. who addressed the
National Arbitration Association at its
headquarters, 6l9 F Street, last night on
the universal peace movement.
Prof. Duras said that the men have
been failures in the past and must have
the help OF the women to establish uni

founded on woman's uplift," said the
speaker. IF man would only elevate
himself to the woman's standard many
difficult questions could be solved. We
are living in an age of armed peace, the
legacy of men like Bismarck and Moltka

that peace meant death"

the evolution Of civilization, and that the
time is drawing near when war will be a
