NOTHING BUT POLITICS Belated Move cf the President Against Trusts. THE TAFT CLAEI FUSCTUEED If the Adiiiiiiiatrr.tlr.n llntl IJvt orred Ezintlnn l.nH Trior ti 1IMU There rS Wunld lluve ileen No Scandal. JodKC i'lirker'n diilm Thut Kx lut ing Uwi Were Ample to Proaecota Trnata l-'nlly Juatilled. In 1!)04 Judge Parker said In hla let- ter of urn-pi mice, sul-staiitliilly, that we bail enough law to stop every cor porate abuse. The common law was available for tlie use of tlie state nu thorltleR, and besides that then? were plenty cf state statutes and plenty of federal statutes. Tlie Sherman anti trust law and the Interstate commerce law had been on the statute books for many years. But the president, his cabinet officers nnd nil the Republican spellbinders loudly called for new laws to enable the government to curb tht corporations. The coal trust, the oil trust, the beef trust nnd the railroads had leen violat ion exUtliisj laws wltli the regularity .and audacity that are born of collusion with the otlii-ei's in the law. They were not at ul! hostile to Mr. Koosevelt or his administration. They furnished money to secure his re-election. They evidently preferred the making of new laws, dictated by themselves, to the enforcement of the old laws made to punish their crimes and check their rapacity. All that has Im-oii done toward prose cuting the trusts has been done under those o!d laws. Soiue of the western states forced the attorney general to prosecute the Northern Securities com pany under the nntitnist 04111 Inter state commerce laws. And according to Secretary Taft that prosecution Is the chief glory of the Koosevelt admin istration, and it is practically the only act of the administration which reflects any credit upon It. The recent action of the interstate commerce commission against the oil trust and the rnllronds ( was due to the Tillman-Gillespie reso lution, which Koosevelt signed with ex press "reluctance." That resolution merely authorized the commission to Institute Investigations looking to the -enforcement of the old laws, and It was necessary only because tlie ad ministration had not enforced those laws except when compelled to do so by reason of exposures made by the state authorities or by other Instru mentalities outside the department of Justice. It was known that the railroads and the oil and coal trusts had been vio lating the law. The letters of Govern or Itawson of West Virginia nnd cer tain independent coal operators read in the senate by Mr. Tillman proved ' that the department of Justice could not I)e depended uion to investigate condi tions and enforce existing laws? Why did the president wait until Governor Dawson had been forced to appeal to a Democratic senator for help against the railroad and coal combine before he made his feint of attacking the oil trust? Rockefeller very properly says of this new spasm of virtue: "Busi ness methods have nothing to do with It It Is all politics." So far as Roose velt Is concerned. It Is certainly nothing but politics. Why did not the president enforce the law against the beef trust? His subor dinates supptied that trust for years with labels for Its meat products, cer tifying that each package had been lawfully inspected and that the qual ity of the contents was guaranteed by the government of the United States. How could such a certificate have been given If the law was not sufficient, when properly enforced, to Justify such a certificate? If the certificate was a criminal fraud, the administration was responsible for it. Not until Upton Sin clair had exposed the Intolerable prac tices of the packers and demonstrated that the law had been violated by col lusion between the packers and the ad ministration did the president Issue bis sensational message against the beef trust The beef barons might truly say as Rockefeller has said: "Business methods have nothing to do with It It Is all politics." They had the adminis tration's certificate of the propriety of their business methods and of their compliance with the law. If the law had been enforced, there -would have been no beef scandal, no railroad scandals, no coaKor oil scan dals, no grain Inspection scandals. The very existence of these scandals, aris ing as they do from long standing vio lations of the old laws referred to by Judge Parker in 1004, proves that the administration has been either Ineffi cient or else partlceps crimlnls in all this scandalous business and that its pretense of righteous Indignation Is "all politics." Mr. Taft blundered, therefore, wtlen he said at Greensboro, on July 8, that the president "by act" as well as by word had "manifested to the people his determination to pursue the mid dle. Just and impartial course by which - the rich and the poor should enjoy the equal protection and suffer the equal and Just enforcement of the laws." This Is "all politics." The record proves the contrary to be the truth. Judge Parker has shown the contrary to be the fact by citing the record in all cases where there have been prosecutions, all of which have been under the old laws. A Bow ef Pronla. The election of the Democratic can didate for governor of Oregon Indi cates that the people are still doing their own thinking and Is a bow of -promise for Democratic success tn -180& WORTHVILLE ITEMS. llan n' H I lat-t 'lltrh iligDsf iiriiliTx nt l.il't-Hj Orfiiini.eil nt t 'rut ml i nil. 11 (T;-eeii.''or--.

John T. Brittain. Commissioner A GOVERNMENT BANK. With Toner to Issue Note and Re discount Ntnndurd Oil PIna, The I'ouueetiou between the Rocke feller luniks and the United States treasury department is so close that any plan for popular bloodletting throturli favors to the Niitioun.1 City bank of Now York nnil the RIggs bank of Washington is always known fur. in advance bv those institutions. Indeed, the Riggs bank keeps a minor official, who was for awhile asslstnnt secretary of the treasury, ou purpose to nose around his old haunts and keep the Standard Oil people advised when a fresh financial niellon Is to be cut so that they can be on hand early for the lion's share of the spoils. In 1!XJ5 the treasury otliciuls were mulling circulars of the National City bank to all the holders of certain bonds which were to lie converted, and the profits of that large transac tion largely accrued to Standard Oil In eouseipience of this Republican offi cial assistance. The present Immacu late administration, of course, could not be eaujmt grafting, nnd all the favors granted the Standard Oil clique were for the benefit of the tariff plun dered taxpayers. There Is another young man whom Standard Oil took over frnin the treas ury as an asset of the Gage adminis tration. He poses sis a great authority on "high finance," predicts panics and foretells prosperity as suits the Stand ard Oil interests. He is the Mother Cnrey's chicken of finance, to tell of the coming storm and stress to the country If the advk-e of Standard Oil Is not heeded. At present h.e is harp ing on that old plundering scheme of "a scientific bnnk note currency," the host plan for whicji would 1 "a gov ernment bank having the power of Issue, whose sole business would be In Its relation with other banks nnd whose chief operations would be In the rcdlscounting for other banks." That proposition would even stagger Andy Jackson, for with Standard Oil capital embarked in "a government bank" the old United States bank, that gave President Andy Jackson and the Ietnocrats so. much trouble before they could squelch it, would look like one of the new $'J."t,000 na tionals In comparison to one of the gigantic flunnclal Institutions which Standard Oil already controls. Such "a government bank, having the power of Issue and redlscountlifg for other banks." and thereby having them all more or less In Its power, with the unscrupulous men In charge that dom inate Standard Oil interests, would In deed lie a wonderful Institution. It would bent the Rank of England and the Bank of France In financial power and would dominate our politics also. St.inl.ird Oil has no expectation of 3iif1i nn institution immediately. It la for the future, when the people are more composed politically, nut it mites Hmo to lav the wires that can be elec trified Into life when times are pro pitious. It Is well, however, to Keep watch and ward over those elected as representatives of the people that they may not be hypnotized by this great power, which, in one of Its smaller cor porations, controls more money than the old United States bank that the Vhles the stand natters of Jackson s day, fought and bled for. Nothing but a united and honest Iiemocrucy can prevent the consummation of this si'liime of vast finance, or something like It, for the Republican party would accept It today In ortier to perpetuate itseir in Kwer. Tlu fact that the Republican secre t.irlea of the treasury, with the evident approval of the president encourage this close connection with the Standard Oil Interests is portentous of the favor of this plan of financial centralization In the highest Republican quarters, and it will require jealous watching on the part of Democrats anil Honest KepuD- lican voters to thwart nnu prevent it, A Kannaa Stand Tatter. Republican rule iu Kansas is thus described by former United States Senator W. A. Harris, now the canili date of the Democrats for governor "We have bad Republicans In office year after year. We have had rulers of all sorts. We have had charges and countercharges. We have had resignations of officials placed In escrow, that If they were proved rob bers they would step down and oat. We have had .Investigations and con firmed those charges. We have had reports of defalcation after defalca' tlon, yet everything Is quieted down, and a slimy surface Is still unlnvesti gated around the statehouse." The Republican convention that nom inated the osculatory Hoch for gov ernor Is said by the faction of the party, that opposed his nomination to have been run by the railroads "to suit themselves," and there is no doubt that the corporations are financing the G. O. P. In Kansas as In many other states. When Hoch was first elected he promised to "clean up In short or der," but it seems that the governor has developed Into a confirmed op timist who believes In "standing pat" and 'letting well enough alone," after the typical Republican machine man ner. Aatl-SSH WHfc a Stria at to It. The anti-pass law as It was finally enacted allows railroads to give free passes to congressmen during the com ing campaign and until Jan. 1, 1007. In the meantime the election will be ever, and congress can repeal It alto gether before the campaign of 1908. What a sham this whole business Is! Every Republican congressman will be riding around on free passes next fall, crying oat: "We enacted an anti-pass law. We passed a railroad rebate bill. We reformed abuses." The devil will get his dues some day, but It takes a hard and long continued struggle for the peopte to be protected. Our Big Clubbing Offer.
