 the people should be served even though, because of serving them, he was himself subsequently to be ex- posed to attack.
 Down in the bottom of his heart, \ MT. Wilson's real objection to our pro losal to control the trusts is that il is altogether too drastic. He does not venture to say so in public, but this is unquestionably his real feeling about to speak of our plan as one to trans fer our own affairs into the hands of the trusts is utter, sheer nonsense.
 "The other day MT. Taft expressed, as MT. Wilson already had expressed, his apprehension lest under the sys- tenn we proposed the trusts would own the government. Such fear is utterly groundless. The slightest thought would show both these worthy alarm ists that their timidity is not justified. All they have to do is to look at the | interstate commerce commission. II l their fear is genuine, then they are l in honor bound to advocate the repeal of the interstaet commerce law. It is exercising just the kind of contrp over the big interstate railroads which l we propose to exercise over big in dustrial concerns. There is no more danger of the fears of Messrs. Taft and Wilson being realized in one case than in the other.
 At every point of his program MT Wilson is fertile in speech about the evils, but when it comes to remedy he not only has no efficient remedy to propose himself, but he confines himself to opposing the remedies that really wonld he efficient. For exam pie, the other day he took leaf out of the progressive platform, and using the language which I had again and again used in various speeches, spoke of the steel corporation as working it's employees seven days in the week and 12 hours a day. But the only remedy at which he even hinted-it was only hint-was that there should be re- duction of the tariff.
 The attitudes of Mir Taft and MT. Wilson towards the judges and courts are identical. Each solemnly shakes his head over existing conditions and each promptly re2udiates every eff NACHl iCiht0g DAOBOo6ut anu Has lOAiI to suggest in their place. At New Haven the other day, Mir. Wilson made a speech in which he opposed the recall of judges. This speech Is thoroughly characteristic of Mir Will sonts whole attitude. He says that the treatment proposed is to treat the symptoms instead of the disease, but that the disease lies deeper and is very virulent and very dangerous. but he gives no hint of what the disease is. or what is the remedy. He says there can be no moral objection to removing wicked judges and he op- poses the recall He said that it is necessary to go to the seat of author ity for Improvement; and then without indicating how we are to go there or what we are to do when we get there, he ends with a beautiful peroration which has about the same relation to his subject that was borne by the peroration of the immortal Senator Elijah Program, whep, in defending a defaulting postmaster, he stated that his proud answer to the tyrant and oppressor was that his home was in the setting sun
 q have read through this speech of Mir. Wilson with the utmost care, and there is not one line in it which sug- gests remedy of any kind to the sit uaton. The only thing in the nature of a remedy he proposes Is general advice to be more careful in choosing judges.
 "The progressive party looks not to the rear for remdy for existing er- rors, but to the front. and not to the past with it's sometimes amiabIe and sometimes brutal, but always limited and narrow spirit of competition, but to the future. with its twentieth cen tury doctrine of cooperation and con trol in order to master the spirit Of crude and brutal combination"
