SHELBY NJ. CULLOM.

Shelby Moore Cullom. dead at 81
years, w&s the last Of the old order
of political barons In many ways,
he was also one of the best. If his
party loyalty was excessive, it was
likewise sincere 1t he could not 60
forward with the tide OF progress,
neither was he swept from his feet
by eddying fads.
His ideas were fixed before Roose-
welt tried to enthrone Prussianized
bureaucracy in Washington, before
Wilson made himself at once spokes-
man and business manager Of the
new freedom Shelby Cullom liked
one innovation as little as the other.
But the age which robbed him OF PHI
ancy did not lessen his staunchness
and his personal integrity was never
questioned.

This is time of great events and
you will want the news accurately

the first time in sixteen years, will
have the presidency and they will
also control both branches of con-
gress. The political news is sure to
be the most absorbing interest.

foot Of soil in America, after having
ruled the empire of half the New
World.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 2.-Spec-
ial Correspondence are
in progress in congress this week on
the four trust bills introduced after
conferences between President Will
son and leaders of the two houses
and the ground work is being laid
for what promises to be the third
big achievement of the Wilson ad-
ministration. It is confidently ex-
pected that the enactment of this leg
islation will not only end trust abus-
es, but will put business on sound
foundation that will end the uncer-
tainty of the past several years and
afford solid basis for proper business
expansion. The four measures make
provision for:
An interstate trade commission.
Defining terms of the Sherman law
and making guilt individual.
Prohibiting interlocking director
ates.
Prohibiting "cut throat competi-
ton.
Another bill to complete the list
would provide for government regu-
lation of railroad securities.
The trade commission bill would
place over the big corporations OF
the country the same manner of sup
ervision which has been exerted over
the railroads so successfully by the
interstate commerce commission
This commission would assist cor
porations In reorganizing, permitting
them to square with the Sherman
law, and assist the government and
business in preventing violations OF
the law. It would act in an advisory
capacity to the Attorney General and
the courts in terminating unlawful
conditions by agreements such az
that which we're recently used in the
New Haven and telephone and tele-
graph diss0luti0ns.
The bill defining combinations and
monopolies would prevent acquiring
OF monopolies In any line Of trade;
