Only Practical Plan.

When Mr.. Roosevelt assumed the
presidential office he believed 1t would
prove possible to regulate the big COM
hinations by proceeding against them
In the courts. An energetic experience
convinced him that regulation by law.
suit was useless. Congress refused to
give him the legislation that he came
to believe was essential and the trusts
fourished
Building on this experience, the Pro-
pressive party and Mr.. Roosevelt now
propose to adopt the plan that has
proved really effective In dealing with
the railroads and to establish COM
mission to regulate interstate corpo-
rattons.
The Democratic party is committed
to the old policy Of regulation by law.
suit So Is the Republican party.
In view OF the farcical results of
this plan, as proved by years OF ex.
perience In ''trustbusting" that leaves
the trusts more powerful than ever.

The Pursuit. Of Happiness.

However much the matter may be
obscured by ignorance or the con-
fiict Of mind and body. the underlying
motive of human effort Is always the
pursuit OF happiness. The law is Il
means to this end, used with more or
less success according to the enlight-
eminent and power Of those who enact
and enforce it.-From Legal Doctrine
and Social Progress" by Frank Par
sons.
This country broke away from the
dead hand of England to make good
its inalienable right to the pursuit of
happiness.
The Progressive party has broken
away from the live hand Of special
privilege to make the law a means
to the enforcement Of this inalienab Bile
right.

GOV. WILSON AND TRUSTS
Why Has He Done Nothing to Curb
Those That Flourish In His
Slater

After persistent attacks upon Colo
mel Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson at In
dianapolis charged him deliberately
with responsibility for the existence
Of the trusts and monopolies in tais
country:
For two years Mr.. Wilson has
been governor OF the state of New
Jersey, and boasts Of his control OF
reform legislature. Ninety.five per
cent of the predatory trusts and
mOnopolies of the United States. in
Guiding the Standard OIL company,
sugar trust, the American Tobacco
company and the United States Steel
company, have their home In the state
of New Jersey and enjoy from that
state the charter which alone per
mits them to carry on their business
Their factories and businesses are not
In New Jersey
Every day since Mr. Wilson has
been governor he and his Legislature
have had the power Under the law to
drive every dishonest trust from New
Jersey, to compel an amendment to
its charter, or to qualify its articles
Of organization under this provision
of law. During those two years he
has not uttered word In public or
private. He has not raised finger.
He has not whispered against this
brutal injustice by which Is sheltered
every crooked and offensive trust in
the United States.-Senator J. M.
Dixon.

ONLY TWO IN RACE
ALL WHO WOULD DEFEAT FREE
TRADE MUST VOTE FOR
COL. ROOSEVELT.
TAFT RUNNING A BAD THIRD
Every Straw Vote Taken Shows That
Because Of a Hideous Mistake a
Great Political Party Has Melted
Away.

The surprising thing about Mr.. Taft
In this campaign is not that he is
running third. After his failure to
meet the expectations of the American
people as president nobody had
thought that he ever again would 20
from the ballot box to the White
House. After the manner in which
his denomination was seized for him
nobody dreamed that in the national
race he could run better than third
Nobody, therefore, is surprised that
this very thing has happened.
Not that Mr.. Taft Is third is aston.
fishing, but that he Is so bad a third
as he is. That he is so bad third as
to be no better off than those who are
fourth and fifth.
Every canvass made by anybody
proves this is so. 1t is so in the
etraw votes taken in the manufactur
Ing towns. 1t Is SO in the farming
DISTRICTS so in the metropolitan cen.
ters OF population; so in the west: so
In the middle states; SO In the east. 1t
Is so everywhere.
Nobody's wonder Is that Mr.. Taft
Is weak: this is something perfectly
understood by everybody. The won.
der OF all Is that he could be so weak
as to show that great political party.
because of hideous mistake, has
melted away, almost in day, like
snow under hot spring sun.
To discuss the passing OF Mr.. Taft
as a candidate is idle-for he Is gone.
His vanishment ia now history. But.
With Mr. Taft out there is to be dis
cussed the race that is LETT, In that
race there are Colonel Roosevelt and
Governor Wilson. There is nobody
else
This is to be discussed as a live
fact. As a great national problem 1t
is to be deliberated with the utmost
care.
Republicans who do not like Colo.
mel Roosevelt have no possible choice
between him and Mr.. Taft for presi.
dent. Nor between Governor Wilson
and Mr.. Taft. Their only choice is
between Colonel Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Wilson.
The White House waiting for eth.
er Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow
Wilson, any voter, Progressive, Re-
publican or whatever kind, wishing to
defeat Mr.. Wilson and free trade,
must vote for Colonel Roosevelt

Bryan's Charge Not New.

Mr.. Bryan censures Colonel Roose'
welt for using Democratic ideas In his
present campaign, The charge Of lack
Of originality In public men is an old
complaint. John Adams wrote OF the
Declaration OF Independence: There
Is not an idea In II but what has been
hackneyed in congress for two years

tained In the declaration OF rights and
