BUT Mr.. HITCHCOCK?

1t might be difficult to recall an
instance of the dyed-in-t the wool
Democrats ever being embarrassed by
facts, so too much need not be eX-
pected from the jolt given to Demo-
cratic tradition by no less a Demo-
cratic parsonage than Senator Hitch
cock. 1t was when the Senate was
engaged in rendering agricultural
combinations immune from the oper-
alton of the anti-trus laws he boldly
expressed this opinion:
MY Judgment is" said he, that
the supply of milk of big city ought
to be monopolized just Ike the gas
! supply. and its price ought to be in
some way controlled. l believe it
could be controlled. One of the
reasons why the cost of living is so
great in a city is the awful waste of
. having hundreds of grocery stores
doing what a few should do, dozens
Of milk men doing what a few could
do" etc.
Why the country has been told time
and again that only Republicans held
any such an opinion. that Republic
cans were the fathers of trusts and
combinations. A Republican could
not express a belief in the economic
fact that large operations and CEN
tralized control under proper man.
agement resulted in a lower cost Of
production without being condemned
as In league with trusts and abomi-
nations of plutocracy. He might de-
clare. and his acts might support
him. that he was opposed to all COM
binations in restraint of trade and
would have any tendency to monopo-
ly strictly guarded. He might point
to the fact that all antitrust legisla-
ton was the work of the Republican
party. But would they listen to him?
No: they would jeer in his face or
turn away wagging their heads in
credulously.
But Mr.. Hitchcock-welI he is
Democrat!
