When Eliliu lioot as tcuijxirary chair- ni.'tn of the C'hicap) convention made ^ th(‘ opcninjr speech of the Kt'puldican i canipni.iin he especially held up for i ylorilication the ajjc.irrcssivencss of the i Uuosevi'lt administration a^^•unst the j trusts and doclaretl there is ‘'no h>n^er any serious complaint of trust exac tions.” Now surely Mr. Koot did not Itolicvc that his statcmont was true, for the newspapers of the country, which are mirrors of public opinion, are constantlj* filled with coini»laints i about the way the trusts are plunder- ' ill}; the people, and Mr. Koot is a ^I’eat | newspaper reader. But (h'fending the ; Ke|)ublican partj* and the Uoosevelt ad ministration from their evident parti»il- ' ity fur trusts was a dillicult job for even such a renowned .siMvial i)leadcr i as Mr. Root. Nor was he satisfied to I I rest his case there, but tried to prove ! it by adding; I “No investment in lawful business ' has been jeopardized, no fair anti hon- i est ent(‘ri*rise has been injured, but it is certain that wherever the constitu tional power of the national };<>'t‘i’n- ment reaches trusts are bt'inji practical ly re^ulat(!»l and curbi'd wiiliin lawful bounds as thi*y never have been before, and the men of small capital are lind- Injr in the ellicii'ncy and skill of the na tional dc[»artment of justice a protec- ti(.>n lh(‘y never had licforc against the crushing elXect of unlawful cond)ina- tions.” There a.tinln the facts do not afrree with Mr. Uoot. for not one* invlustrial trust has be«‘n “ri^j^ulated and curbtnl within lawful bounds” by the Koose- velt aduiijjistration. Only two i)rose«;u- tions (if trusts have been comnuMiced. and otdy one of these was a,i;ainst an industri.nl trust, and th:it is still han.ir- : in.i; tire in tin* courts, and the trust in j (juestion-the i>ackers' combine—shows no sii;ns of beinu' reiiulated or cur'uHl. ! The otht'r trust—the railroad tnerirer—i has heen ordered dissolved by the j conns, but is still ch:irj;iii^' “all the tratlic will bear.” and then* is still no j competilion betweiMi the railroads tliat were combined in the merger. The i>e«)- . rtl(‘ of the northwest, where the mer^'cd ! railroat’.s are located, an* obliucd to pay the sai le frei.iiht and pass(*ni;er rates; as l-ef<>;-o “the eHici«‘ncy and skill of j the di-partment of justice"’ was brou^rht j into i*lay. These two c;ises airainst the j trusts is all the lioost^vclt administra tion has to lK»ast of. and we have the word of Mr. Knox that there will be no f attempt “to run amuck’’ ajrainst any i other combinations. The further boast of Mr. Root that the men of small capital are bein}< pro- ^ tecteil from the crushing effect of un- ■ lawful combinations will be news to ! most of them. i The Washinfrton I’ost, that cannot be said to be prejudiced against the lie- ! publican party, says. “There is nothinj; in the record to show that tlie man of small capital is linding any protection ‘ajjainst the crushing effect of unlaw ful ct)mbination.s.’ “ j A man of small capital, If he thinks of embarkinj; in the coal trade, will ' W- of the Countries 'Where It 6ro\^s Become Lasy and Demoralised.

"havi' sonit'thin.g U]i ilieir sU'eves,” and the b(‘ef combine should bewan'. Why this extraordinary activity just as the canipaitrn is op(‘nin,ur. if the bad trusts have all b<‘en curb<*d ;is .Mr. U<*ot assiH’cs us they havi‘V There is a shrewd suspicion by those who ought to know tli:it an.v at-livity by the ad ministration against tin* trusts at this time is to m>ad theni to the pn»per frame of mind to 1k‘ iilx'ral when .Mr. ('ortel- you presents the contribution box. 'J’hat, like Chairman Hanna, he will promise imnuinit.v from nudestation if the cami);iign fund i.s ;ippropriately “fattened” can hai-dly Ik* belit.‘ved ot this honest r<‘form adnunistration. Vet there are thost- well v(*rsed in l{e))ub- lican polities who are certain that even a bad trust ”that conies dowii v. itli tin dust” need have no f(>ar of the law. That possibly explains why Mr. Uoot says there is “no dang(‘r of an.v si*rious conrdaint of Inisi exactions," and Tresidcnt Roosevelt agrees with him, for he n>ad and n*r»'a«l the lioot spe«>ch before it was d*‘ilvered and s.-iid he was delighted with it. the source of power and to appl.v it. "Between Mr. Roosevelt’s views of ■ the president's duties and the views (tf i the American p(>ople <.n that snlf/et-: | then* is a ver.v wid«* <liffere!K t*.
