occurred In the market for Tennessee
Copper. They are beginning to be looked
upon az natural phenomena of a war
market. Otherwise the movement would
been regarded with suspicion, II

a previous rise during the year from

How TRUE

The Mt. Vernon Signal speaks the
following parable for the edifcation
Of those who "knock" their home
paper:
"Once there was a boy who went
to a circus, and watching his
chance, managed to crawl under
the tent. After the show was over
he went about saying it was no
good. Every time we hear anyone
say their home paper is no ac-
count nine times out of ten we find
that they are not on the list of pay
ing subscribers, or else owe for sew
eral years subscription, and then
we think Of the boy who crawled
under the circus tent"

the TRUST ISSUE DEADa

The Federal Court decision that
the so-called "Steel Trust" is moi
a trust evokes from the observant
and informed New York World the
statement that the trust issue is now
dead in politics.
In the opinion Of the World the
case Of the United States Steel
Corporation was decided upon the
facts, like any Police Court case.
There was an absence Of proof that
this great industry strives to get on
by crushing competition. The
World ventures the representation
of a trust-issueless campaign, say
ing that there is at present no SEN
timent against great industries upon
the score of their dimensions.
The tariff revision, with its COM
plications and its promise, measur-
ably removes the trust question
from the forum, inasmuch as the
Republican tariff was admittedly a
friend Of the So called trusts. Per-
haps the Federal court decision may
have the effect which the World
