1T is my hope" said Mr.. Lloyd,
that, prominent delegates will get
together in the towns and cities and
club their orders, so that. we may

As Mr.. Lloyd's committee is en-

Stanley Deserves Credit
Congressman A. o. Stanley of Ken
lucky, chairman Of the committee
OF the House Of Representatives
which investigated the steal trust
deserves great credit for the. syste-
matic and highly capable manner in
which he conducted the inquiry.
The cost Of the entire iuvestiga-
ton was but $4,000. This amount
is In striking contrast to the cost of
some of the investigations under the
Republicans, notably that of the i'm
migration question at am expense to
the people of more than $500, 900.
Mr. Stanley saw to it that there
were no personal excursions or junk
cts with the money appropriated for
the probe Of the steel corporation.
He was willing to spend money for
all necessary expenses, but was care.
tu that not dollar was squandered.
1t will be recalled that the investi-
gators Of the Immigrant question
spent their appropriations like water
touring Europe in the most luxuri-
Gus style, visiting at government ex-
pense, am the prominent places of in.
terest, even journeying to the pyra-
mids In Egypt.
Mr. Stanley's name will go down II
history along with the masterful re.
port of his committee, and he and
the members Of the committee who
co-operated with him, deserve well

e TaTenner O
Washington. August 12-"George
w. Perkins in the chair"
o This quotation does not refer to
: Mr.. Perkins presence in the chair
~ the Chicago Moosefet convention.
On the contrary, it is taken from the
minutes of meeting of the finance
committee of the steel trust, held
April 5. 1904. at which it was decid.
ed that subsidiary companies of the
steel trust manufacturing half fin
Sshed articles should not sell the
same to competitors of the trust.
'(See page 1OS Stanley steel report.)
This is only one of the revelations
contained in the report of the Stan
} tey steel trust investigating commit
Zee. one of the most able and re-
markable documents of the decade.
The Stanley report, in addition to
1ndicting former President Roosevelt
9Or permitting the steel trust to OBJ
$ain absolute domination of the steel
industry, reveals beyond successful
contradiction how George W. Perkins
came into possession of the colossal
fortune that he is now spending to
finance the Roosevelt third term
movement.
Here Is the story Of Perkins
wealth: To start with, Mr.. Perkins
made some Of his millions by capt.
talizing thin blue air into millions Of
dollars of real money.
He made more millions by getting
= monopoly of wire nail manufactur-
ing plants and forcing the American
. farmers to pay $3.50 per key for
nails for which they formerly paid
from s1.25 to $50 per keg, (see
page 8 Stanley repOrt')
Then he made more by forcing the
. thousands Of workers in the blast
furnaces Of his steel mills to work
u hours a day, seven days "a week,
end 3S5 days a year.
AS a postscript to the above infor-
nation, the following history Of Mr.
Perkins may be Of interest to many
at this time. Mr.. Perkins was the
chief aide and co-schemer q ]. Pier
port Morgan while the latter was, in
the years between. 1900 and 1911

It was Perkins who, as MOrgans bus.

hold on a corporate wealth of over
$35, 900, OOO, 900, an amount equal to
one-third Of the wealth of the ma

For the immediate financing of
headquarters and bureaus it was de-
cided to ask for 100 subscriptions of
$500 each a year. Six Of these, to-
falling $4,000, were subscribed to-
night. They came from the State
organizations of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Vermont,
Delaware and Pennsylvania.
1t is proposed to get forty-two
more of these $500 subscriptions,
and to obtain the rest from indivi-,
duals within the Progressive party.
Gov. Bass, of New Hampshire;
Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts;
Louis A. Drexler, Of Delaware; Will
liam Finn, Of Pennsylvania, and
Gustavus B. Pope, Of Michigan, were
active in assuring financial support.
Hale announced he would guarantee
$1,000 a year for financing the work
of the headquarters and bureau.
Chairman Dixon announced that
the national committee had put into
effect the recall in it's own affairs
through a resolution presented by
Hale. This resolution provides
That rs per cent of the member
ship Of the national committee may

lected last night at the conference
by vote Of 80 to IL.
The chief opposition to the selec-
tion of New York came from Texas,
Colorado, Wyoming, Florida, Idaho
and Louisiana, but members of the
national executive committee from
Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
New Hampshire and Montana, voted
against the resolution because they
said it was not sufficiently compre-
hensive.
In addition to the selection of
New York as the headquarters for
the national executive committee, it
was decided to establish a perma-
nent publicity bureau and perma-
nent Legislative bureau in Washing
ton.
Also, the executive committee
voted to send commission to Eu-
rope to study legislation in England,
Germany and other countries for the
purpose Of getting material and
ideas for the Washington legislative
bureau.
United States Senator Joseph M.
Dixon, Of Montana, chairman of the
executive committee, was empowered
to name this commission Of seven
members. He announced he would
appoint Medill Mccormick and DR..
Walter E. Weyl as two OF the mem
bers of this commission.
Further, the executive committee
adopted the principles contained in
the Jane Adams plan for the or
ganization and financing of the Pro-
gressive campaign. The Adams plan
was not adopted in it's entirety be-
cause it was believed to be too large
an undertaking at this time.

A NEGRO,s COMPLAINT.

J. w. Cornell writes to the New
York World that he is educated,
good bookeeper and skilled stenogra-
pher, but can get no work in New
York because he is negro. He adds
that there are hundreds Of others
like him, who are walking the
streets of the metropolis and can get
no employment in the work they de-
sire.
This being true, the North has no
right to lecture the South about race
prejudice and the color line. The
incident proves that most of the talk
of that kind from that section is in
sincere.
1t is a pathetic fact that this 1et-
ter to the World points out, coz
sidered in one light, but it means
that the negroes will have to learn
to depend on themselves. There are
over ten million negroes in America
over hundred thousand in New
York City. Why are there not ne
groes in business who. employ book
keepers and stenographers? If the
race has sufficient enterprise and
business acumen it can build it's own
institutions and own civilization.
There s~no use in arguing against
race prejudice, or race antagonism.
1t can't be abolished by law or any
other way. It is as immutable as
the Ieopard's spots or the Ethio-
plans skin. 1t is a stubborn fact
that the negro must learn and &C
cOmmodate himself to. He is going to
be q newer of wood and drawer Of
water if he depends entirely on the
white man for tmDlOymont but moth
ing debars him from building
business and industrial world Of his
own. Other people in the past his

and equally excluded have found it
