The Perkins Plan

say to you with dclibcratinn and emphasis that no man in the history of this nation has ever taken d position on the trust question SD hostile tu the well fare of the American people.
 He says in his platform and hi ; speeches that we ought not to try to prevent monopolicS, but we should just control them. re- mind you that for seven and one half years he was president, and he not only did not control the trusts, but the trusts controlled him. I remind you that while he was president the steel trust went 10 him and, while a panic was on, threatened another and terror izcd him into conscnting to the absorption of it's largest rival.
 Mr. Roosevelt stands for the very doctrines that the trusts have been demanding, viz: That they shall be rid of the state reg ulatiOn and relieved from the em- barrassmcnt of legislative action. MT. Roosevelt wants 10 centre the power at Washington. After ad- mitting that the trust is here t0 stay, he will allow it to go on, ro spread and grow, and he would strike down the power of the state to control it, and he would take from congress and the courts the power and put it in a bureau to be appointed by the president.
 challenge you to find any where a program which has so such concentration, so much of centralizatiOn, so much of the magnifying of the power of the chief executive of the nation.-W. J. Bryan.

Making Policemen Useful

A new report of the sweet innu- cncc of woman suffrage upon mI- nicipal affairs comes from Venice, Cal. It is the purpose iO equip every policeman with q "beauty- box" containing a powder puff, needles, thread, buttOn-hOoks, hairpinS and a small mirror, SO ihai they may br equipped to rrndrr first aid immediately to any woman whose attire gets dis ordered in the scramble of the streets. It appears further that during inc tourist season Venice is so crowded with visitors in var iOus garbS and garments from all parts of the country, that the in tended rclicr is in a measure a necessity.
 While it may be conceded that inc leadership taken by that town in the new movement is due largely to the climate and the roses. as well as 10 the suffra- GrIlrs. since they also incline tG p"ntlrncSS. still il will not hr long before cities of less sunshine and fewer flowers will he moved to imiIat" the example. Nor will il h" poSSibl" ln cUnfinc tho atIcn- lion of thc police to the ladies only. Mon foo have their right g assured. Tho policemen will be made really useful. TTr will he equipped with matches and ci- garcttcs and perhaps chewing fo- larco. He will know how to sew on buttons for bachelors, and he will also know the time of day.
 The innovation is not to be costly. The Venice report says s3 is to be allowed to each patrol man for the equipment. IL is like picking it up from bargain counter.
