BrandeE Tells WHY
He FavOrs LaFoXeHe

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.--Louls ID. Bran
deis, of Boston, today explained TO
the Chicago newspapers why he fav-
ored Robert -aFo11ette Tor president.
The trust problem" he said. lis
the greatest of the day. LaFollette
knows this problem by heart. He has
never theorized about II. lie has al
ways, by tremendous work, and with
the aid OF marvellous memory, Sc
cured cold facts about the evils OF
trusts lie has dug down to bedrock
in the trust matter, and In q cold,
business.llke. analytical way. he has
discovered the truth about them"
Speaking at a luncheon at the Grand
Pacific hotel at noon. Brandeis said:
Trusts don't pay. Great combina-
tons are not economically efficient.
They are TOO big; in spite OF their
size, the limit of their ability Is the
limit OF men and some OF them have
become so large that they have out
grown the ability OF their leaders.
The Steel trust, for instance. isn't eff
ficient. Its only marked successes
have been in instances where II has
made great success, because, on its
directorate, were men who represent
ed over halt the railway mileage OF
the United States. The Steel trust
has lost control Of 20 per cent OF It's
market, IL you exclude such additions
as Tennessee Coal & Iron, since its
birth. Its business has been cons
stantly ebbing away TO Independents,
except in cases where 1t had monop-
oily. During the life OF the Steel trust
! its exports have increased only hall
q million tons, while the exports or
both Germany and England have In
! creased tremendously. There lay the
! foreign field for the Steel trust; II II
was so efficient. why didn't IL take the
business?
The Steel trust is so inefficient
that II hasn't been able even to i'm
prove the quality OF its rails. In 1902
there were ~ railroad wrecks due
10 derailments. Last year there We're
249 derailments. There have been
2,059 derailments. due TO poor rails
in the 10 years the Steel trust has ex
listed. In this most important cal
upon the trust for better rails, II has
not made any improvements. though
II has gained $3.50, 900. 900. above fail
profit on its actual investment, since
its organization.
Even It's steel wire has grown &C
poor that farmers have deluged the
agricultural department with com
! plants against the quality OF wire
fencing.
These are the sort Of facts thai
IaFollette stands for. He never talks
glittering generalities. His bill against
the trusts provides fair play for al
and he can best push this bill when
he is in an executive position"

NEW YORK CITY FACES

The strikers declared today they
were confident of winning shortly.
Strikebreakers, they say. cannot take

against the laundries for linens torn

ment you say. Here is an un
excelled opportunity fpr the Den
Yer Cham ber of Commerce to per
form a public service for city and
state bv Immediately investigat-
ing the latest product of Edison s
genius" -"
While in my opinion there is
very much that the Denver
Chamber of Commerce ought
to do that it does not, |, as !
member think it does more for
the counties outside OF Denver
than il can reasonably be expected
to do until those outside counties
exhibit bit more interest in the
Denver Chamber and what ii
tries to do for them.
Several months ago the Cham
Der Dtganized "Greater Colora-
DO Congress by selecting one
of its mem bers TO represent every
outside county in the state.
Clear Creek county has a repre-
sentative in that Congress.
A little later the Chamber pro-
posed to elect to membeshlp,
without requiring any fees or dues
one person from each county IN
state outside of Denver, to be Sell
ected by the commercial or busl-
ness interest of each county. The
secretary of the Idaho Springs
com mercial club, the chairman OF
the county commissioners and
mayor of Georgetown were prompt
ly notified, requested to communi-
cate with other interested and Sc
lect person for membership.
Some months have pa ,sed but as
yet no response, not even an ac-
acknowledgement of receipt OF the
notice has been received by its
representative in the Congress"
The only possible conclusion is
that either Clear Creek county
does not care to have any connec-
ton with the Denver Chamber or
that its representatives in Con
gress is rot satisfactory. The lat
ter difficulty is remedied by the
withdrawal OF the representa-
tive and if that is the only diff
Guilty, Clear Creek should get
busy" and if it expects the Den
yer Chamber to accomplish all
that might be accomplished for
for the state.
In the good roads matt er Idaho
Springs entered into an alliance
with the Denver Chamber that
proved effective, but why not in
other matters?
If the Edison ore treatment
