STEEL TRUST
WAR ON TAFT.
This the Chief Basis of the
Opposition
END IF ENDED PROSECUTIONS
George w. Perkins Is a Prominent Fig
ure in the ituation-Through All
Taft Stands Firm and
Strong.

Washington, Jan. l6.--James p Hor-
naday Washington correspondent of the
Indianapolis News, yesterday sent the
following to his paper: President Taft
boom for the presidency in twenty-four
hours if he would send word to the right
persons that the proceedings to dissolve
the United States steel corporation are
not to be pushed and that criminal m
dictments against numerous captains OF
industry will in due time be dismissed.
But he will not do this. The men who
are fighting him and using the name of
Roosevelt as the club with which to do
the fighting, know he will not call Il
halt in the prosecutions that have been
undertaken, and this is the reason they
are so determined to prevent his renomi-
nation.
Men are now travelling over the coun-
try, trying to persuade the Republicans
of the various states to send uninstruet-
ed delegates to the Chicago convention.
These men are reporting directly to
George w. Perkins of New York, for
merly a member of the firm of J. p.
Morgan & Co, and now identified with
the steel trust. The field work has been
entrusted to 0rmsby McHarg, a New
York lawyer, who was at one time as
sistant secretary of the department of
commerce and labor. The men in charge
of the active campaign for uninstructed
delegates are representing that an unin-
structed convention means the nominal
ton of Theodore Roosevelt. The cam
paign is well financed. 1t would be inn
possible to carry forward such a move.
ment as has been undertaken without
plenty of money.
1t is not campaign that originated
with the progressive Republicans of the
country. Practically every man con-
identified with it is repre-
sentative of big business, who has felt
the grip of federal statute designed to
protect the rights of the common people
1t is a campaign of many ramfications,
every one of which leads to coterie of
prominent business" Republicans who
have grievances against President Taft.
Such campaign probably would not
have been inaugurated if the Taft adj
had kept hands off the steel
trust, as Roosevelt did during his seven
years in the White House.
The filing of the suit to dissolve the |
United States steel corporation angered |
the officers and the heavy stockholders |
Of that company. The bringing of this
suit also angered Mr.. Taft's predecessor
in the White House. 1t was soon after |
the suit was filed that the Roosevelt |
boom for the presidency made its APP |
pearance. Not much was heard of the |
boom by the public until the Republican /
committee gathered here on I
Dec. IL to fix time and place for the
Republican national convention. There /
appeared on the scene at that time |
George w. Perkins of New York, Ormsby I
McHarg of New York, Dan R. Hanna
Of Cleveland, William L. Ward OF New /
York, Lucius n Littauer of Gloversville.

iome lesser lights, all talking Roosevelt.

The Greatest Peace Movement Ever
Started.

In the January American Magazine
there is stirring article about the
World Scout movement which has just
been started in Europe. This movement
is an outgrowth of the Boy Scout move
ment. Its object is to combine the youth
of all nations into an organization which
shall develop the peace instinct in youth,
as distinguished from the military in
stinct which is bound to develop. from
the Boy Scout movement. Following is
an interesting extract from the article:
Now the thing is, to show the or
ganizers of the original Scout move
ment that they have made false step.
The ideal of pa triotism to be sent before
boys is the ideal of the World Scouts
IAN ideal that has no spark of racial
animosity. Let the boys understand that
the country has so many real enemies
that it is pity to waste time and
strength against imaginary ones.
let the boys keep the natural world
outlook that they were born with. Let
them go ON believing that Italian and
Russian boys are not enemies, but
friends; not foreigners. but folks Be
cause it is so. The patriotic separa-
list view is simply not straight if
our public schools do implicitly teach it
by their patriotic exercises.
LET the boys cultivate a chivalry that
knows its real dragons and fights them.
Let them find the rich mine of adventure
that lies in relieving the oppressed, de-
Tense of the suffering, protection of the
weak. Let them seek adventure in saw
ing life rather than destroying it.
"There is 10 place to do all this ike
America. no boys as well equipped for
this world movement as orr boys. We
are not familiar with militarism. it is
not part OF our daily life. as IL unfor-
tunately is in other countries. American
bows are the ones To saw that the Boy
Scout IDEAL is not half LARGE enough or
half progressive enough to suit them"

Attorney General Carmody frankly told
the court that he believed there had been
a miscarriage of justice in this case. His
only plea was that Justice Gerard report
this fact to Gov. Dix, so that the execu-
tive might make a full investigation.
Il will go further in the investigation
of this case than Mr.. Towns can" de-
clared the attorney general "The pris-
oner here is an insignificant figure in this
case. We have. a far greater duty to per-
form than the liberation of Brandt. The
courts and the bar are on trial. 1t is our
duty to find out what power controls the
courts of this city. We must learn what
influences can operate to send boy like
this to prison for most of his natural life.
This case cannot stop with such a
proceeding as is now before the court. This
matter should come before the governor
again, on the report of this court, or in
some other manner, and the executive
should have an opportunity to sift the
facts, get at the bottom of this whole
thing and put the blame where it be-
longs"
