TRUST BUSTING AND C0MM0J SEN&.
TMIE CiOVERXMEX'f is going out of the trust-bii.stig business.
A declares a dispatch from Washington.
This information, 'if confirmed, will bring joy ta the heart of
Win. Jennings Bryan. For it will give him something he hasn't
had for many a long year, a legitimate political slogan.
"Trust Busting or Trust Bossing, do you want a government
that has long been the burden of the great Commoner's song.
that busts the trusts or ti government that is bossed by the trusts
but it has heretofore Inched validity. With a Republican adminis
tration formally abandoning trust busting, the validity is supplied
and the Prophet of Democracy may enter the lists once 'more in u
atmosphere of reality, reality, that is, as far as political slogans
are concerned.
And as a people, we are inclined to 'be guided by political slo
gans. But before the victory of a rejuvenated Democracy is con
ceded, it mignt he well to consider the tact that rresitlent Loolidge
r.lso has a slogan which is "common sense" and applying this slo
gan to the trust-bossing battle-cry, may produce results which Mr.
Bryan doe not forsee.
For from the standpoint of common-sense, what does this an
nouncement from Washington mean? It merely means facing facts
which experience has demonstrated to be true.
Big Business 'is here to stay as long as the present economic
system is retained. The only way to bust Big Business is to bust
the country and abandon Capitalism for Bolshevism. There is no
alternative. From the standpoint of modern economics, trust-bust
ing simply can't be done and the history of the past decade has
definitely demonstrated i.t
What can be done, is now being done, namely government con
trol of Big Business; not interference with business simply because
it is big, but interference with all business that attempts to ob
tain an unfair advantage by artificial combination and agreement,
In other words, assuming the Washington dispatch is correct, it
merely amounts to this: - ,
Tlie (government is recognizing a condition that has existed ever
since the .Sherman law was passed and which has obtained under
Democratic, as well as Republican administrations.
Such recognition is honest and tho logical product of a policy
f common sense. Whether or not) it is good politics, is of course,
rh entirely different matter.

of poison left in a man's system

such treatment does not get anything
in particular out of the patient's sys

In his system to be driven out. The
only poisons the secret or semi-secret
alcoholism can possibly drive out' of
the drunkard's system are the poisons
contained In the alleged "cures" are
not certain to get all the poisons out
of the system at that.
