The leading trust magnites are for the Roosevelt plan, especially the Steel Trust and it's offspring, the liar lucky, who perhaps knows as much about the subject as any man now living, has introduced bill in Con- gress deprivinng the trusts of one of the most vicious privileges which they enjoy He would divorce the indus trial trust from the transportation business. In his opinion that would do more to reform the abuses of cor porate monopoly than anything else. The trusts will have none of this Stan ley bill. They say it will ruin them and put them out of business. So it will, put them out of rasca1ly busi- ness, and that is som mething the Amer ican people are grimly resolved to do.
 Roosevelt asks the people to ap- point him to compose the issue of monopoly. He says that he would regulate it by means of a commission similar to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The two things are very different. Transportation by rail

But the production of steel, or other article of naercnandise, is private industry. conducted by indi- viduals or corp porations, and when the government assumes to regulate, by commission, the profits it shall earn, or the wages it shall pay, we have pure socialism that leads to the es- of every article exposed to sale in ev- possible of execution. and if it were possible it would require tens of thou sands of additional public officials to administer the thing.
 We had an example of the work ings of one of MT. Rooseve1t's t'com- missions in the administration of the pure food law. MT. Roosevelt says he extorted that statute from a re- luctant Congress. Grant that he did, though Doctor Wiley, who knows
 
 else, will tell you that there is no foundation in actual fact for the boast. What happened? Roosevelt was persuaded to appoint the Rernsen Board, or Commission, and that body, though without design or fault on its part, was used to nullify the pure food law. Taft came in and we had the baleful influence of McCabe and Dunlop, who succeeded in so embar- rassing pr. Wiley that he resigned in disgust and so far as the foods and drinks of the public are concerned the matter stands precisely where it did before the pure food law was en- acted.
 Drugs, harmless in themselves. are employed to conceal putrefaction and other harmful elem ents in foods that are thus sold to the people as sound and pure, and they have the brand of the t'pure food law on them. There

But Taft says the trusts are enti- tied to have tariff taxes so laid to give them monopoly of the domestic market, for that is what protection is and all it is, which means and the trusts shall continueu to enjoy the special privileges by means of which they were created and without which they could not exist. It was to Se- cure them the protection of the tariff that moved the trusts to contribute the enormous sums they did to elect Roosevelt President in 1904 and Taft President in 1908

Rogers Clothing Go. Sale.

The Rogers Clothing Company ad- vertise to-day a twenty-five per cent. reduction sale on all suits In their store. This means an immense sav- ing as they claim that their prices are much lower than the same quality of goods can be purchased for at many other stores. They handle nothing but all wool goods, and their suits are all hand tailored and finely finished. All clothing sold by them is manufac- tured in their own factory and any garment displayed in the show win dows of their stores is sold on request. Cheerful Credit Represents True Cloth
 ing Economy.
 In these days of ''high cost of iiv- ing" every means of reducing expenses and making a dollar go it's farthest should be adopted. This can be done in the matter of clothing by making use of one of the worlds greatest eco- homie forces, namely Credit" It en- ables the heads of families and indi- viduals to keep up higher standard of living than is possible without it, for in purchasing wearing apparel by means of cheerful credit" the neces- sary expenses can be met regularly and the clothing purchased can be paid for out of the weekly salaries in amounts so small that they are not missed. In this manner it is pos- sible to obtain the best grade of ma terials which are by far the most eco- nomical as they will give double and treble the service that cheap goods wiu and further Caesar Misch, inc,

NEARING A CRISIS

This newspaper strongly advises its printed from day to day in it's columns of the Chicago convention. The next few days in the great city of the middle west will mark crisis in the history of the nation. The things that will happen there are near the climax of changing political, indus trial and economic, thought which has been moving in the country for twen- ty years.
 Progress faces reaction. Democracy is opposed to oligarchy. The primary system, with the direct ballot based on faith in the people, is opposed by the convention system, based on the greed of monopoly and faith in bosses
 The convention may mark <the death of the Republican party, or it may be the beginning of a rebirth of the Republican party. In the latter event the old Republican party will have disappeared in everything but name.
 The reborn party will, in principles and in the personnel of its leaders, be utterly unlike the existing Repub- lican party, which is the organized expression of aggregated money working through bosses and lobbyists of type readily recognized in Con necticut and everywhere else.

The delegation in Connecticut was given to Taft upon less than ten Der cent. of the Republican vote. Com pare the few thousands of men thus giving themselves political expression to the hundreds of thousands and the millions who have cast ballots under the direct primary system.
 Suppose but half the voters go to the primaries. Is half a voice not better than . tenth, a twentieth, or a thirtieth of voice, and very much better than no voice, or that a voice which commands results to which the majority of the people are utterly opposed

The lat .er fixed rates in flat disobedience to he Sherman law. which has been .wenty years on the books. It is sheer nonsense to suppose that the dissolution exists except on paper, or that the trust is less existent than ii formerly was. It was formerly an outlaw Now it is a legalized indus try. The perils of the law no longer confront 1t. The robbery of consum- ITS may proceed merrily under the shelter of the ermine.

FOR CHEAPER
 TROLLEY FARES

The New Haven Register complains because Bridgeport and some other cities are seeking for a general fare reduction of the lines of the Connec- tocut Company, which has practically a monopoly of street railway trans portation in this state. This action ranks close tos treason in the opinion of our esteemed contemporary. 1t thinks the absence of representatives from Hartford was significant. Un- doubtedly it was-of the prestige Of the Connecticut Company in Hart fords municipal legislature?
 Our contemporary complains that mo mention was made of the fact so far as anybody knows of the diff culty which the company is having with its employees. or how a street railway company can at the same time raise wages and reduce income and move on smoothly"

DlSCOURTESY

The theatre goer who comes late is guilty of a discourtesy to every other person in the theatre he enters. Wei meaning people, who in the individual reiatiOno of fife aresfhe pink of polite. ness. dnhesitatingly sweep into a playhouse after the curtain is up. rush for their seats. compel others to stand to the annoyance of everybody in the neighborhood, to the dfscom- ture of the actors and to the vexa- ton of hundreds who come to see the play. and who do not desire their at- tention distracted from the stage by rough and tumble entrances of per sons too needless to come early. It Is suggested.: for the benet of MT. Poli and nis ane AsiStA1fts, that the public would appreciate a rule under which persons coming in late may be seated only between acts.

NATIONAL PRIMARY
 LAW NEEDED

Every development at Chicago indi- cates the need of a national primary law. The Republican national com mittee, which shows a majority friendly to. Taft, asserts the right 10 disfranchise the delegates of state for the reason that the laws of the state providing for the election of delegates do not agree with the rules of the committee.
 The executives of several states have asserted that the state govern ments represented by them will put Roosevelt electors on the state ticket regardless of the will of the conven- tion if 1t nominates Taft.
 This can be done if a state govern ment desires to do it, and the action will be entirely legal.
 is not chosen by popular vote. but by states.
 It is possible for a president to have a plurality of the votes cast and yet uOC D0 uOuIudCeu. IL lS uOC Ouly QO3- sible, but 1t has happened. Each state chooses its own presi- dential electors, and each state may instruct it's electors to vote for whom soever the majority of the voters of the state prefer.
 If there should be a bolt in Chi cago each faction would claim to pc the Republican party, and Roosevelt states could and in some cases would. choose Roosevelt electors and run them as regular Republicans, while Taft electors would come in as ir- regular. In Taft states the contrary would be the case.
 It is increasingly apparent that the states are not able to regulate an in- terstate party.
 There must be a national presi- dential primary law. under which the rights of voters and delegates will be established, and the adjudication of contests made comfortable to law and equity instead of to the sheer power of one faction, or another.
