neglecting to pass soma laws, sxtendlng :
the patarnallstio career -of tha govern--ment-and
atrengthening the tendency - ,
to centralisation of tha federal system -
and being bossed by ths president - ' .
Ths abject surrender of congress and :
the president to ths trusts and ""Inter-' -.
eats" in the closlngdaya of tbe session
waa ths most striking feature of the1
lat er, weeks.
Tha Standard Oil oompany won In ita
big fight for exemption from tho

thla provision dropped because of tre
mendous Influence of the Standard Oil -that,
ahowsd more plainly and openly .
than, ever before 'tho power of ' thla " "'-'
trust in publio affaire.
Even mora striking, if possible, was
the surrender of President Roosevelt
and the senats to the packers' trust on
the meat Inspection leglal a tlon. -
After all tba effort "and nolaa about
the. great fight against the meat trust, .
us packers were allowed to win en tho
only points 'on which they opposed the ' -
original senate measure. Ths govern
ment will pay 11.000,000 annually for
Inspection that will .be worth many " I
times aa much to the packara, and for '
tns original bill madethe packers pav.

humiliating and complete aurronder In
which popular intsresta wars forgotten.,
when the trust flourished Its club.

In pure food legislation the outcome
waa equaUy- aatlsfastery te tho - big
Intereata. The food bill that paaaed tha -houaa
was a atrong and useful one; .
the ona that oama from eonforsnoe with
tho provision for the fixing of gov-i
ernment standards eliminated waa a
watch without a mainaprlng, a machine" ".

Total appropriations by this session are
about 1880.ajo.ooo, tha greatest of any ses
sion In history, For tha first time tna

To ssy, that thla eession naa broken

Ident Is net a reflection ' en congress. -'
When It assembled last December con
gress bad no policy and the president

Jnlnt ea.ta.hWMt whlnh ha aat In a mod-'
lOod form that la expected to defeat hla

tho Iale of Pinea to Cuba, which he did

and failed to get out of tha senate com-
mittec, and railroad rate control legls- 1 .

Later the preeldent added to thla hla
meat Inspection program, which waa
enacted Into , a law that did not meet
his approval aa. to Important fsaturss, ' ..
but which he accepted aa the beet to-
ba had under the clreumstaneea. . ,- -.;
The areat and dlatingulshlng achieve
ment of the session waa ths paasage of -
the railroad rats bill. Jt originated In
tha house, passed under the whip and
spur of a rule, and then was before the '
senate over four montha before, in the .
last- hours , the conferees . agreed, the
houaa accepted It and the executive alg- .
nature waa appended. . . . - ;
