democrats have in stock today is the
fact that Roosevelt gave Mr.. Morgan's
steel trust permission to absorb the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company in
the fall of 1907. Roosevelt may have
been thinking only of business in
general, but he never will be able to
convince the democrats that this au-
thorized merger didn't amount to the
biggest favor ever done big trust by
the executive branch of the govern
ment. Those suspicious democrats
never will give over insinuating also
that Roosevelt was ding the steel
trust pretty big favor when he in
structed Attorney General Bonaparte
to sidetrack his proposed prosecution
of that concern under the antitrust
law, and do no more about it without
instructions from higher up.
From the standpoint of democrats
in general and of Judge Alton B. Par
ker in particular the present cam
paign fund disclosures will be most
interesting as finally deciding the de-
bate that ragged on the eve Of the
election in 1904. At that time Judge
Parker appeared as the challenger,
alleging that the bulk of the Roosevelt
campaign fund had been contributed
by the trusts, Standard Oil being
named specifically as having made a
large contribution. At that time
Roosevelt had been describing Parker
all over the west as 'the Wall street |
candidate" The way in which Roose-
welt hurled back the ubiquitous false
hood as to the sources of his cam
paign fund aroused the plaudits of all
admirers of "hot stuff" Judge Par
ker was dared to produce his evil
dence, and of course he had none. The
incident ended with a grandstand play
in which Roosevelt wrote Chairman
Cortelyou suggesting that if by any
mischance a contribution had been
from Standard Oil it be
forthwith returned If, as it now
appears, three-fourths of the fund
was made up of similar trust contri-
buttons, it is easy to understand why
no attention was paid to this letter.
Did Roosevelt know where the
was coming from in 1904 Or
did he not know? Did he play the
knave or the fool Sioux City Jour
nal.

THE CoLoNEL's TRUST FUND.-

Theodore Roosevelt was elected
president in 1904 with the aid of a
campaign fund contributed mainly by
the trusts Not only did the Roosevelt
campaign fund absorb a 100000 con-
tribution from Standard Oil, as told
some time ago by Mr.. Archibold, but
it soaked UP another 100000 offer
ing from J. Pierpont Morgan, like
amount from Henry G.. Prick and still
another from George J. Gould. The
$4,000 raised by the late E. H Har-
riman and contributed to the national
committee, to be passed along to the
New York state committee, is not
questioned except as to who did the
but authoritative information that of
the Roosevelt campaign fund of 1904
1874 per cent of the total was con-
tributed by representatives OF the So
called trusts. All these detailed fig
ures come by way of Col. Roosevelt's
friend, George r. Sheldon, treasurer
of the republican national campaign
in 1908, who in nat year was given a
list of the principal contributions to
the 1904 campaign. This list was
made out by the retiring treasurer,
Mr.. Bliss, and was intended for the
guidance of the new treasurer.
Well, what about it? What if the
trusts did dig up three of every four
dollars used to bring about the cleo
ton of Roosevelt? 1t had been Gus
tomary for corporations to be fried
out for campaign purposes up 70 that
time. 1t was neither unusual nor lille
gal for Roosevelt's managers to take
the money. And if Roosevelt as presi-
dent gave the trusts nothing in return
for their generosity politically-noth-
ing that cost the public anything
where was the possible harm? All
these questions may be asked with a
straight face. And yet it is not easy
to keep the face straight while asking
them, for everybody knows that this
kind of campaign contribution is now
strictly prohibited by law. Why?
The answer to that question will con-
tain the answer to the other ques-
lions.
Nor will it do to assume off hand
that none of the trust contributors got
in the way of official favor
while Roosevelt was serving the term
to which he was elected in 1904. The
largest single piece of ammunition the

George w. Perkins, representative
of the trusts that are financing the
Roosevelt campaign, says he is sup
porting the third term candidate be-
looking after his own business he is
an active director in at least fifteen
different trusts and large corpora
tons which in turn control other big
business concerns. This man is now
in the prime of life and is not at the
age at which men retire from bust
ness. He seems just now to be most
active in promoting the Roosevelt cam
paign. He is general manager, keeper
of the SEAL signer of checks, financial
manager Of the new party. 1t is non
sense to assert that Mr.. Perkins could
corporations with which he is con
nected in order to devote his time to
the interests of Roosevelt, unless the
corporations approved what he is do
ing Some of these corporations have
been indicted for criminal practices
since President Taft came into office
and are now being prosecuted in the
courts Is it not true that this activ
ity on the part of Perkins and his
corporations is prompted by the fact
that Taft is striving to enforce the
law against them and that they be-
lieve if Roosevelt is elected they hope
to be immune from prosecution? One
does not have to look very far to dis
cover that Perkins is in the game for
some other reason than because he
has children. 1t is because he has
friends who, like himself, represent
the large financial interests engaged
in questionable methods that prompt
this unusual activity. The people will
find that Taft is their friend and is
not only their friend, but the enemy
OF the corporation engaged in crooked
work, and can be depended upon to
prosecute all violators of the law.
Here are some of the trusts and

as follows: "The Qeustion of using
corn for fuel this winter is being agi-

this time. The choice is between coal
at $40 ton and corn at 10 to II cents

number will experiment with corn. E..

THAT STATE HIGHWAY.

A bill will be introduced in the next general assembly providing for the creation of an improvement dis trict. a scope of ten miles wide and extending from Little Rock to Tex; arkana All the property within five miles on either side of the proposed highway will be taxed for the build ing and maintenance of the highway.
 When Hot Springs was invited in- to the proposition. the first impulse was that we should cooperate direct ly. But later investigation by Repre- sentative Sawyer. developed a better plan.
 Hot Springs can make its connec- ton with this state highway at Ben ton and separate improvement dis trict can be created for the roadway extending from Hot Springs to Ben ton.
 Of this short line connection there Is much to favor. To begin with, there is already the foundation of a good road, known as the old Wire Road" and that will he nsed Tha. road passes through some of the best land of the country
 II will not cost great deal to make this short line what 1t should be- Al the property within five miles Q, either side Of the road will be as sessed, through the appraisemeni plan. That will distribute the cost of the improvement to where it will be very small.
 The enthusiasts behind the Little Rock Texarkana highway feel sue that they will get that improvement. They have canvassed the situation. and the people want 1t, and if the legislature will pass the bill, the highway is assured.
 Representative Sawyer intends to follow this legislative action with 2 bill for this connecting line The people should get in behind the movement. Highways are as neces. saTy to development as schools. They seem to be co-partners in se scheme of progress.

HEART

The language best understood
among men is that of the heart.
He who is loved is the one who
loves.
The main thing to be desired
is more heart-more heart in our
work, more heart in our play,
more heart in all our intercourse
with the world around.
There never can be too much
heart. There is, alas! too little.
The tendency of the age is to
make US hard-hearted. We live
in a whirl. We can find little
time for anything but our mate
rial interests.

Some are so keen on money
making that we willfuily shut
our hearts to any emotion that
might stand in the way of sue
cess in business.
Others are so hard pressed in
the struggle for existence that
our whole energy is taken up in
the fight for a bare livelihood.
The world is so hard to them
that it makes them hard to all.
The need of these days is not
greater opportunities for COM
merce and trade so much as
larger realizations of the, possibil-

Admirable is brilliant or cap

something still more good and
beautiful lies in a true and gen
