TAFT SAYS ROOSEVELT WANTS
IA ESTABLISH a Be
NEvoLENT pEsPoTisM.

In his great fighting speech :at Bost
ton President Taft discussed Roose-
velts good trust" theory at some
length and summed up his argum lent
as follows:
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to abolish
the antitrust law and! then to regu-
late combinations and not to destroy
them. Mr.. Roosevelt's description OF
what he is going to do is descrip-
ton, not Of a constructive plan, but
Of what he proposes to accomplish;
but it all comes, down to this'-that
by some sort Of executive tribunal he
is going to decide as between differ
ent trusts; that one is good trust
and anoher is a bad trust; and he
is going to smash the bad trusts and
he is going to protect the good
trusts.
We will have no means OF deter
mining what is good trust or bad
trust with the abolition Of the anti
trust law. g
He gives no other guide than that
OF executive discretion exercised for
the good Of the public, which really
amounts in the end to nothing but
the establishment OF a benevolent
despottsm. l.5 III.

The republican state convention at
Cedar Rapids last week endorsed
President Tafft's candidacy for re-
nomination and ran the steam roller
over Cummins and his aspirations
for the endorsement Of his native
state. The convention was a dis
cordant one and the Cummins speak
ers were Kissed and booted in their
attempts to address the delegates.
Tn bitterest feeling was displayed be-
tween the two warning factions. With
comfortable working majority OF
forty-one the TAFT forces elected the
four delegates at large and with a
majority OF the districts Of the state,
controlled the committees and franz Tram
ed the majority reports. Cummins
was pounded into the earth again but
lett for washington with the state
ment that he was not dead yet. Sen.
ator Cummins still has the ten dis
trict delegates which had been elect
ed and Instructed for him prior to
the treatment accorded him in his
the statement accorded him in his
own state the delegates instructed
for Senator Cummins will never cast
their ballots for Taft a,.i it will not
be surprising to see these ten iowa
delegates in the Roosevelt column at
the Chicago convention.

AN ASTOUNDING CONDITION.


According to our Washington cor
respondent the. supplementary report
OF the Stanley Investigating commit
tee shows that % men-officers and
directors OF the steel trust-are in
absolute control Of corporations rep
resenting capitalization OF $685.
.521, $4,000. These men, through in
terlocking boards of directors virtual
ly control all the great railroad sys-
TENS, street railways, express com
,panies, telegraph companies, steam
ship comanies. the large industrial
corporations, a system Of powerful
banks and trust companies, and in
lsurance compaies. .s
The total wealth OF this nation is
only a little over three times the
sum that these % men control alb
solutely. Twenty-three men in con-
troll Of more wealth than 100000
OF their fellow American citizens!
Isn't this fine condition of affairs
to exist in republic?

What VIII He Dor

Will President Taft have the nerve
to veto the democratic bill to cut the
tariff on wool?
Schedule .'K' places a rate Of al
per cent on wool fabrics, 165 per
cent on cheap blankets, and 143
per cent on flannel underwear. An
article worth IS seeking entry into
this market would be saddled with a
duty OF 1906. Such rates are stag
gering proof Of the greed Of pro
tectionists. They were not written
into the law for the purpose Of In.
creasing the governments revenue,
but were designed instead to- increase
tn profits OF the wool manufacturers.
President Taft has declared these
rates to be "indefensible." In the
face OF this admission will he have
the nerve to- block the honest at
tempt OF the Democratic House &of
Representatives to give the people
relief?

honor the lost
Let the tenderest, hottest note
Ring out for the men who went
down to their death
To keep the vessel afloat.
