Roosevelt and ihe Trusts.
With your permise on will call your
attention to something that stripes me
as tbe worst iece of demegoguery that I'
hwe noticed since the June election in
Oregon, We find the following in the
daily Oregonian of the 3rd : Speaking of
thePresident's message oa the trust ques.
ti m you will find tne following when
President Roosevelt said, as he has many
times, that a constitutional amendment
is a necessary preliminary to true regu
lation. He spoke upon perfect informa
tion. He didn't know, for he had
tackled the trust problem as be does all
others with a eateh as catch can chiefly
as a hook for his didatche aphorisms,
so he just jumped at the conclusion.
From Attorney Genersl Knox he has-
learned the still untried capacities of the
Sherman anti-trust law and its entirely
feasible amendments. Therefore, he
now says we have the power without
the amendment, though at Boston i
August he assured the country that
legislational amendment would only Le
to bricks without straw. Now, would'
you ever? Why did he not tell the
people this before the fall elections
simply this the people would have
asked hint what have you and thai
trust attorney of yours been doing you
nave not enforced the law? Another
thints bybeing truthful the Democrats
might have cotten the lower nf
- r, '
an1 also the Socialist vote might have
beena few more. Now we can draw
no other conclusion than this that he
Is either a fool or keeping a man in
his cabinet that does not enforce the
law (if he, .the President, Is honest in
his opinions a knave if he does know
that law would be elective. President'
Roosevelt. W. J. Bt vin and all
leading men know in fact they Cinnot
reach the trust by enactment of pw
hibitory laws. Tbe sensible conclusion
i "does the government own the trust
or tbe trust own the government?"
