president WILSON'S
TRUST MESSAGE.

Few public documents have been SO
we'll receive! as the enc delivered by
President Wilson in Congress yester-
tcrIay. From all over the country
come words of praise and consratula-
ton for the wise and able manner il
which the President has handled the
lsubiect of trusts, problem which
has been most difficult to arrive at 4
safe and sane conclusion.
In Wall street business was sus-
pended while brokers and investors
dcvoured the words of the man who
was speaking in Washington. Opt!
mism rose with every paragraph; th'
much dreaded crisis had come, ana
where panic had been feared trading
was .rade brisk; where radical pro-
pcsa.s had Keen expectc1 sound
craftsmanship had been displayed.
