Mr.. Roosevelt on Trusts.

The Outlook editorial on the trust
situation Is being variOusly con-
strued. Some regard II as evidence
that the ex-president is irritated by
the Administrations charge that he
was DECEIVED by the Steel trust.
Others regard his editorial as bid
for the presidential nomination. Ii
may be both. He does not like to
have his Judgment questioned and
he does not like to have friend
and the Steel trust has been his
friend-attacked He may not be
averse 10 another nomination and
he may relish an opportunity to re-
taliate on the president for his aban-
donment OF some OF his-Mr. Roose.
Municipalities, but the fact is that
Mr.. Roosevelt has never shown any
clear comprehension of the trust
evil He has chung to the idea that
there are good trusts and bad onef
and he thinks that the burden OF
proof Is upon the people to show
that n trust is injuring the public
This is the weak point In his posi-
ten. There Is the same distinction
between corporations that there ii
between animals. The COW is PRE-
suMED to be harmless unless shown
to be vicious; the lion, on the othel
hand, Is PRESUMED to be vicious
So, ordinary corporations are PRE-
sUMED TO be engaged in legitimat,
business but private MONOPOLY
should be PRESUMED TO BE HARM
Full. 1t Is as much the nature o.
the monopoly to injure competitor
and the public as 1t is the nature OF
a lion to devOur.
REGULATION Of private mono
poly is an absurdity; prevention /,
the only remedy,
The system proposed by Mr.
Roosevelt would prove disma
failure, and 1t would, in addition
encourage the socialists. The Com
m0ner.
