I would select Uoosevelt to head the
Ilist. VS hat is true gi , at n. ss " This
must he considered In answering the
question, hut this lis! indicates that
greatness was im asured largely by
n man's iictlw and 'visible accom
plishment, that Is by success as
judged by the ordinary apprehen
sion of that term, rather than by the
quality of his work or Its final re
sults. Hut even in that case, why
not substitute Rockefeller for Mor
gan, or make hlm one of the list?
Has he not been even more success
ful, greater, than Morgan? Or was
Morgan preferred because he Is a
liberal patron of art abroad? That
counts for something. And then
there Is library-endowing Carnegie.
And our most potently acquisitive
friend Harrlman. Hut only one se
lection, it might have been thought,
must he made from a certain class
or type of men -though Ilryan is
much of the Roosevelt type.
Hut one could suggest various
names to consider in such a connec
tion. Might not a good argument
he made In favor of placing Kdison
at the very head of the list? Has
any ifher man done as much for this j
country and the world as he? And
going hack to Morgan, why should
not J. J. Hill he chosen rather than
he or even Rockefeller? We are pre
pared to hack Hill against any other
man of his sort.
Again, there are persons who
could make a strong argument that,
everything considered. Hooker Wash
ington is a greater man than Presi
dent Eliot--not a more learned man,
of course, hut tested by results ac
complished, each In his own field.
And .John Mitchell would find p'enty
of champions as against Mr. C.oin
pors. And unless a majority of these
judges were prejudiced Democrats,
why, some would ask was Hryan

Taft left out altogether? itut wo

and let him in. We are not sure
that La Folletfe ought not to be
squeezed in there somehow.
Any company of people would dif
fer; with many it would be hard to
decide. Isn't the greatest man the
one who does something that will
last, and grow, and bear great fruit
through succeeding penera'ions?
And if so, a decision Is not easy. We
cannot get the true perspective.
IN HIS Indianapolis speech, pub
lished In full in thi3 paper, Mr.
Bryan effectively exposes the
Republican platform claim .that
the trust question has been and will
be well handled by that party. Since
the anti-trust law was passed IS
years ago, during 14 years of which
time the Republican party has been
In power, the trusts have grown
enormously In number and power,
not one has been "smashed," and
not a trust malefactor has been pun
ished as that law provides. Most of
the trusts have been entirely undis
turbed like the paper trust and
teyr have suffered any inconvenience
while illegally monopolizing mar
kets. Mr. Taft has recommended "rea
sonable" 'restraint of trade, but Mr.
Bryan says this would be as absurd
as a law limiting burglary to an act
of housebreaking committed by
more than two persons at. the same
time. He stands on the doctrine
' that "a private monopoly is inde
fensible and intolerable" bad In
principle and in practice and
should be not regulated bnt exter
minated. He points out that Sen
ator Du Pont, under indictment for
violation of the anti-trust law, is one
of the Republican campaign com
mittee on speakers. True. D11 Pont
has not been convicted jet, hut
everybody knows that he is at the
head of one of the big monopolies,
the powder trust- and, naturally, is
a Republican senator.
Mr. Bryan advocates a license sys-1 suppose that if Taft is elected pres-
tem for corporations, not abridging ! ident the club will revise the list
the right of states to regulate cor-pora-tlons
within their borders. He
believes that when a corporation
controls over 25 per cent of the out
put of any article it should be legal
y considered a trust and treated ac
cordingly. Mr. Taft says this would
be "utterly impracticable," yet such
a monopolization is now unlawful,
and Mr. Taft is In favor of enforcing
the laws. As Mr. Hryan sees, the
"lanv was not Intended to he enforced.
Roosevelt has tried to enforce it, to
some extent, but with small results.
Mr. Taft says Mr. Bryan's plan is
socialistic Mr. Hryan retorts that,
it Is only the enforcement of the law
that makes It socialistic, in Taffs
opinion, because what Hryan pro
poses is substantially the law now.
The Democratic party, Mr. Hryan
pays, does not oppose corporations,
but it opposes private monopoly. The
private monopoly firs! raises prices,
then reduces the price of raw ma
teria!, thou reduces the quality, rob
bing tin people In three ways. Com

Trusts are inimical to the average
business man. Monopolization of a
business hurts business. Xu cor

ocratic program unless it pouch.' to

X ANSWIOU to Mr. Bryan's ques
tion, Shall the People Rule? Mr.
Taft say a that they have ruled,
through the Republican party.
This joins an Issue, and Mr. Bryan
will think It easy to show that it Is
not the people but special and fa
vored Interests that have really
ruled. That the people kept on elect
ing Republicans is not conclusive
proof that the people have ruled;
they kepi trying the Republican
party: partly from habit, and hoping
for better things from It; and, until
recently not very generally appre
hensive of how poorly they were rep
resented and served. Mr. Taft says
the people were served by Roosevelt
and approve his policies and admin
istration, but the trouble Is that
Roosevelt Is not the Republican
party; the party leaders are not in
j s mpathy with him, and congress
j would do almost nothing that he
i,l..nlroil in the tloollb'S behalf.
The people, many of them deluded
with claptrap and fooled by false
pretenses, many nave socmen 10 ap
prove, but they have not therefore
"ruled." nor been well served; and
what President Roosevelt has done
or vainly tried to do cannot be prop
erly credited to the Republican
party, because in almost everything
the party stands against him.

S the Oregonlan a newspaper?
Last Friday Mr. W. J. Bryan
delivered a great speech on a
subject of direct Interest to ever"
cd till person in the United States.
It was the most masterly presenta
tion of that subject that has been
made in many years. If not ever. The
people want to know and have a
right to know , what he said, and all
that he said.
Mr. Hryan is a candidate for presi
dent, and a number approximating
cue half the voters of the country
want him for president. And they
want him for president because he
believes as he does and says what, he
does on the tariff and other subjects:
Yet those voters who are subscribers
only to the Oregonian, if there be!
any such, are deprived of reading
all t his great speech.
But not only voters who want Mr.
I ( r .1 11 for president, but most of
tlue who are opposed to him, or
who are in doubt, want to read what
he says on such an occasion. Re
publicans ought to read that speech,
and mnny of them want to read it.
They ti 1 1 111 ally look In the newspaper
for a full report of such a speech
from such a man at such a time. Hut
if the depend on the Oregonian they
did not find the speech in full. The
be'ter parts of it wre cut out. Why?

It Ts a great mistake the husband' of
the Ha Ins tvne makes when ho lulna
what he thinks is Justice Into his own
hands and destroys the man or near
man whose flatteries and protestations
have charmed awav the woman u'hii
promised before high heaven to "for
sake all others" for him.
A great mistake, for he thereby de
feats true Justice.
A perfect equity would consist in giv
ing her to her paramour and allowing;
her husband to be lawfully and actually
free from the slippery, vain creatur.
and to live his life out without her en
tanglements. But by a few pieces of lead
fired in unthinking haste, these hus
bands spoil the whole thing and make
Justice impossible. ,
if tho unwritten law Is to be so
much more honored and potent than
tne written ones, then let us frame an
amendment or codicil or whatever they
call It. providing thnt If a man steals
another man's wife he shall be obliged
to support her and to live with her all
the rest of his days. No ordinary means
shall be open to him to rid his life of
this incubus. No Judge may free him
by divorce, no law of separate mainte
nance or decree of separation be In
voked by him Ho shall have actually
to share her life and endure her so long
as they shall live.
And tho woman should be no less
tightly bound to the creature for whom
she was willing to forget marriage
vows and to dishonor a husbnnd's name.
There would be some sort of Justice In
this but this hot beaded shooting down
of the despicable creature who violates
another man's home, spoils Ihe whole
thing.

Canning I ruitH for Winter.
T-11S method of preserving fruit for
home use Is by all means tho
