TRUSTS ARE MADE.
They Have Not Grown Up. Governor
Wilson Says.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 26.-"Big bus
mess on great scale is inevitable and
desirable but it is a different matter
from the development of trusts said
Governor Wilson in a speech to a big
crowd here today.
1.-The trusts have not grown but have
been manufactured by the deliberate
will of men more powerful than their
neighborS in the business world.
Il deny Mr.. Roosevelt's claim that
the trusts are inevitable. Both the
regular Republicans and the irregular
Republicans said Governor Wilson
ARE regular upon these points-that
neither of them fails to stand pat on
the tariff and that neither of them
proposes to remedy the evils created
by the trusts. They propose a rene
dy that perpetuates the disease.
I have been reading the messages
which Mr.. Roosevelt sent to congress
in which he adverted to this theory
when legislation on this subject was
being considered.
In almost every instance he said
and still says trusts have come about
through a natural development of bus
mess conditions and that it is mis-
take to try to oppose the process By
which they have been built up and
that the only thing to do is to accept
them as inevitable arrangements and
make the best of it by regulation.

fusion of thought"

ton and construction of flood reser-
voirs in an address to the intersta :
levee convention here today. After
ward the colonel went to the state fair
grounds where he delivered a brict
political address to a large audience
Later he left for Jackson, Tenr -,
where ne is scheduled to speak this
afternoon.
In his speech here the former pres
ident citing the disastrous floods Iase
spring as IAN awful lesson asserted
that prospects of relief We're no
brighter than they had been before
This. he said, was true +in spite y
the fact that congress was IN session
for five months after the beginnlr3
of the last flood disaster, that the
house. which originates Appropriation
hills was in control of Democrats
mainly southern men, during all thsis
time. and yet not one measure OF pc
manent relief or lasting help was en-
acted in your behalf"
As long as the habit of doing thlnss
piece-meaI, metimes known as the
states rights doctrine stands in thC
80, nothing effective will be done.
he continued More and more We
are growing to think nationally. ne
said More and more we are grow
ing to realize that many OF our prop
1ams are by their very nature such
tba+ they can be dealt with only as
a whole and only by the exercise OF
