Especial Correspondence OF The Argus)
Washington, April 27.-While Theo-
dore Roosevelt was president of the
United States, and was publicly de-
claring war on the great industrial
trusts of the country, he was holding
secret conferences with agents Of j.
Pierpont Morgan, George w. Perkins
and other trust magnates, and writing
to his attorney not TO start suit against
them until l hear from you The
president evidently never heard, as the
suit, particularly against the harvester
trust, was never started.
This fact is proven beyond successful
contradiction by the correspondence
between Mr.. Roosevelt and his COM
missioner of corporations and his at.
tornery general, which correspondence
was recently made public by Mr.. Taft
This correspondence is quite
lengthy, and, therefore will not be &C
cessible TO the great body of the Amer
lean people, as the smaller papers will
not be able to print it in full, as the
telegraph tolls would be too heavy fol
them to stand the expense.
THE MOST LENGTHY LETTER.
The most lengthy letter is one be
tween Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations of the depart
ment of commerce and labor and Mr.
Roosevelt In this letter Mr.. Smith
says that at the direction of the presi
dent he had conferred with George w
Perkins, who desired that the threat
ened suit against the harvester trust
Morgan concern organized by Per
Nns, be abandoned. Mr.. Smith re
ported that Mr. Perkins advised hin
that he represented not only the har
vester trust, but also the far-reachins
Morgan interests generally"
Mr.. Smith then divulges the secre
that the alleged trust-busting policy o
Mr.. Roosevelt, which the public a
that time believed would land trus
magnates in jail, was really approved
by the big interests, which shows how
much danger they we're really in. Il
is a very practical question: say
Commissioner Smith to Roosevelt
whether it is well to throw away nov
the great influence of the so-callet
Morgan interests, which up to thi
time september 81, 1907 have sup
ported the advanced policy of the ad
ministration, both in the general prin
ciples and in the application thereo
TO their specific interests"
Mr.. Smith then tells the presiden
he really believes that Mr.. Perkin'
statement that his interests would nee
essarily be driven into active competi
ton was a sincere one"
The last paragraph is the key t.
the motive of Mr. Perkins in desir
ing that the harvester trust be no
prosecuted. He was afraid that if tn

clusion that T. r. would be a danger

presidential chair. and confided his

Gently Without employing the short
er and uglier word. the president de-
clared the colonel TO be guilty OF will
full misstatement about him and his
administration. and also 10 be guilty
OF double dealing IN having urgently
advocated certain ddministra ion poll
cies which he now vigorously de-
nounces.
In general, Presiden. Taft declares
that he is not getting a square deal
az the hands OF the professor Of
square dealing. and il may be said
that the people generally viii agree
with the president in his last PROPOSE
ton.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

Roosevelt has been buzzing around
tantalizing President Taft until the
latter has finally awakened, yawned
and then swatted.
For the first time since Roosevelt
opened his grandstand campaign Of
egotism, a republican big enough TO
properly expose him has undertaken
the job and judging from President
Taft's Boston speech Roosevelt will
have a more strenuous time from now
ION sidestepping Taft than he did
lodging the deadly tiger and rhinoc-
eros in Africa.
There was ample provocation for
President Taft TO give Roosevelt the
swift kick which he administered in
Boston. Roosevelt will, from now on,
have valuable assistance in his own
party in talking about Roosevelt. His
dream of third-term crown has been
suddenly broken and his vision of q
throne rudely disturbed.

CAPITAL COMMENT

harvester trust was prosecuted and
dissolved, Ibis interests Harvester in
terests) would necessarily be driven
into active competition"
Active competition" was what Mr..
Perkins did not want He preferred
TO have a monopoly on the harvester
manufacturing business, so that he
could exact any price desired from
American farmers, while selling the
same goods to foreigners at greatly re-
duced prices
THE "PERSONAL, PART OF TT.
In sending this report, advising
against the prosecution of the harves-
ter trust, Commissioner Smith sent
President Roosevelt a letter marked
personal" in which he apologized for
the frank discussion of the reasons
why the Morgan-Perkins combination
should not be bothered
Il found that in order to state the
case satisfactorily TO myself, I had
to be very frank in giving my own
views" said the commissioner of cor.
porations But felt that you would
pardon me for doing so, and / knew
that the letter would come only under
your personal observation"
The third letter is one written by
Mr.. Roosevelt TO Attorney General
/ Charles ]. Bonaparte. Mr.. Roosevelt
/ tells of personal conferences between
himself and Mr.. Perkins, the repre-
sentative of Morgan, and enjoins the
attorney general: Please do not file
the suit until hear from you The
/ suit was never started
/ The George w. Perkins, who figured
/ in this correspondence, is the same
George w. Perkins who is now financ
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign
! The list of contributors to the Roose
welt campaign in the city of New York
which was recently filed by Eator
| Huntington Hooker, treasurer of the
Roosevelt league, reveals that Perkins
spent $4,000 for Roosevelt in the city
of New York alone Frank Munsey
the largest individual holder of stee
stock tcommon) in the country, con
tributed $4,000 more.
THE SWORN STATEMENT.
This sworn statement, which is il
the custody of the secretary Of state
of New York, shows that in New Yorl
City $59,126.75 was spent to get abou
$1,000 Roosevelt votes, or practically
81 vote
Senator Stephenson spent only hal
as much per vote in Wisconsin, anC
1t was declared that he thus debaucheC
American standards. and should no
be permitted to occupy a seat in con
gress. And Senator Stephenson spen
only his own personal funds, while the
Roosevelt committee used the money
OF interests which enjoyed immunity
from prosecution under Roosevelt, anC
which interests now desire to again b,
placed in the saddle in Washington.

INSTRUCTION IN MANNERS.

The newly established course in ta-
BILE etiquette in the Kansas Agricul-
tural college has been attracting wide
attention IN the country. In certain
quarters there are mild attempts to
poke fun al it. But, when you come
to think about it. why isn't training in
manners one of the important paris
of education?
A business man wrote the Kansas
City Star the other day about his
prejudice against applicants for jobs
who failed to take their hats OF when
they came into his Office That indi-
Gates pretty general feeling for the
importance of good behavior even
from the business viewpoint, says the
Star.
Good breeding covers a multitude
of deficiencies. The young chap of
pleasing address makes favorable i'm
preston al the outset and gets a hear
ing. Perhaps he may have defects that
will prevent his making good But, at
least he does not suffer the handicap
that results from bad manners.
The first responsibility for children s
manners rests with the home, OF
course. But the wise teacher in the
public school will recognize the fact
that home training often is deficient
and will set herself TO teach the prin
ciples Of good behavior in connection
with the instruction in writing and
arithmetic.
1t is as important to correct a pupil
for grammatical mistakes as il is to
see he gets his arithmetic right.
