TRUST" was the cry almost ex-
clusively in the old days; now we
hear "monopolies, "big business,
combines" princes of privilege"
and "sixty American families" men
toned in the same breath.
A generation ago the antitrust
campaigns were fought in the
courts, at comparatively small po-
litical meetings and in the press.
Today they are fought in large meas
ure over the radio, with some OF the
government ablest fire-eaters STIR

parade of Special broadcasts.

number of directions that would
have amazed and COMPOUNDED the
old-timers, but which are charac-
teristic of the tremendously in
creased scale of operation which
the nation has come to accept from
its government in recent years.
Monopolies were originally sched-
uled to have been dealt with by
the special session of congress which
closed just before Christmas. But
when it became evident that pro-
tracted wrangling was to keep even
the wages-and-hours bill, the execu-
tive reorganization bill, or any other
of the must" legislation for which
the special session was called, from
being enacted, the anti-monopoly
drive was switched post-haste from
the legislative chambers to the
broadcasting studios. Assistant At
torney General Robert Houghwout
pronounced Houghwout) Jackson
and Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes were the Nos. and cheer
leaders. Cat this writing Jackson is
rumored about to become United
States solicitor generally
What these two and the President
have said has been so wide
ly heard and read that even the
remotest hamlet is already familiar
with it. But what is the govern
ment actually doing-not saying-in
this renewal of the old familiar
war against trusts?
Seek New Laws.
The administration is again de-
manding that congress pass laws,
such as that requiring the federal Ii
censing of corporations, which will
strengthen" the campaign against
'big business" and monopoly.
President Roosevelt is seeking the
cooperation of heads of large cor
porations toward a planned econ
omy which may or may not re-
move some of the alleged evils.
And the antitrust division of the
Department of Justice has 20 anti
trust cases pending determination
by the federal courts. These are
the evidence con the record" of
what the government is actually do
ing. Their scope defies history to
produce a precedent.
Four Acts in Effect.
The Sherman antitrust law of
1890 remains still the most impor-
tant of the rules under which the
battle is being fought, but there are
three others: The Clayton antitrust
act of 1914; the Federal Trade Com
mission act of 1914, and the Robin
son-Patman law of 1886 to protect
small business men from chain

Boy Deserves Credit
for Clinging to dim
Despite Objections.

DEAR MISS DENE: am twenty
- one years old and have planned
to marry a boy Of twenty-five who
has just started working. His father
objects to me and has refused to
let the boy see me any more. My
fiance has consented to his fathers
wishes. He came to me, told me
the truth and said that until he
could support me without his fa-
theirs help, he would not see me
any more. So long as he is relying
on his father, he will not go back on
his word not to see me. don't
know what to think or what to do
Nancy Y.
In the same mail comes a letter
from the sister of Nancy who says
she knows her little sister is seeking
my advice-and wishes to tell me
the true facts of the case.
'T know" writes the sister, "that
this boy doesn't care for N. as he
should or he would have stuck to
her through thick and thin. She is
making a fool of herself and break
ing her heart over worthless man.
1 only want to help her but want
you to tell her that this boy isn't
the man for her and that he has
shown clearly that he doesn't love
her.-Sarah."
ANSWER-Sorry, Sarah, but I
can't condemn the boy out OF hand.
He must have fair trial before be-
ing dismissed as an utter cad and
lukewarm lover. And Nancy must
be given an honest answer, not an
outburst of angry oratory at the
expense of men in general and Nam
cy's true love in particular.
Don't forget the boy is only twen-
ty-two-and not yet able to make his
own living apparently. That makes
it necessary for him to live with
father and mother for a while. True,
if he were constructed of heroic ma
terial he'd 60 out into the cruel
cold world to starve in the cause
of true love-but heroes aren't pop
ular in these modern times. And
with so much unemployment and
depression in the world just now, /
for one could not praise a boy who
added to the sum total of the world S
human misery by voluntarily join
ing the bread line.
This lad has had to compromise
with his fate. He must live with
his father who has exacted from
him a promise never to see his fair
lady again. Having promised the
hero shows a commercially honor
able spirit in refusing to break his
word on the sly. There is certainly
something to be said for him in
holding strongly to his purpose.
No one can blame Nancy for feel
ing hurt and miserable over the sit
uation. No one can blame her for
seeking to mend her broken heart
as best she may. But she need not
feel that her erstwhile fance is Ell
Their cad or a coward.

was working for her almost day

want?
She ..rlew what she wareed, but
she had ceased to hope for it, al
most. Ellen Daggs had known
heart hunger all her life. Not
even financial success had as
suaged it. Sudden popularity and
wealth had purchased diversion.
but had not touched the deeper
longing and never could, she knew.
Grizzled old Buchshot Brown had.
surprisingly, partially filled the
need by being kind and adoring as
father would, by representing
the stern, dependable character in
older folk which youngsters have
always leaned upon. And yet, con.
tradictorily, he hadn't really helped
either, his coming had seemed
somehow to intensity her yearn.
ing!
She didn't want Bill to be
morose. It was unlike him. I'm
like the carefree daredevil sort Of
boy with whom she had adven-
tured. Standing near him there
before the campfire, she saw him
now as the man he was. It sud-
denly dawned on her that he was
seven years older than she. The
thought made her feel not %, but
nearer IS; made him seem more
remote than ever.
A tear splashed down her cheek
and she squatted to warm her
hands, turning her face from him.
The Mexican girl came then, bear
ing slab of raw meat and a long
fork, also bread and salt. Bill
speared the steak deftly through
it's side and began broiling it over
ironwood Goals that he had pulled
from the blaze. Ellen watched
with interest. When the meat had
scared, he sailed it generously,
turned and cooked the other side.
The odor of it assailed her, revived
her own hunger. White suek
around it's edges was dripping,
browning, crusting. Bill cut a
piece of the suet to put on top the
lean meat and keep it moist. In
10 minutes the steak was delicious
ly done. In all that time he hadn't
spoken.
''Would you like a piece Of it, or
all 2" he asked then, politely, pre-
cisely as he would have invited a
strange guest to share.
She smiled wanly and shook her
head. He began eating. Good
night" she said, and walked away.
Old Buckshot's combined tent
and lean-to had been set up near
her own-he had been shunted into
the role Of chaperon by mutual
unspoken agreement-and Bills
was nearly 100 yards away. A
lantern still shone in Buckshot's.
so Ellen dropped in for good
night call. The night was chilly.
but the old fellow was comfortable
with a tiny stove.
"Uncle Buckshot," the girl MUIR
INJURED, deep in her own thinking,
do you know anything about
jealousy?"
"Eh? How's that ?" He had
been poking wood in his heater.
She didn't speak again for a long
moment, and then slowly.
IT said-do you think money
ought to stand in the way-if
someone loves somebody"
