The New York Press is one of the few Republican papers that do
not attempt to mislead their readers into believing that the present
administration has accomplished wonders in bringing the trusts
down from the lofty perch and in protecting and promoting the
interests of the “dear people". As the Press points out, practically
nothing has really been accomplished, except the utterance of a
few speeches by the president. The Press, reviewing what has been

‘Next came the bill filed by Attorney General Knox to smash the
Northern Securities merger. The Supreme Court gave that combina
tion a severe slap on the wrist, causing it intense pain for several
years. But the people back of the merger, Hill and Morgan, were not
reached by the blow. They made more money out of the combination
than ever. Only the form of the merger was changed. In substance it
remained intact, and a leading corporation lawyer has described the
whole proceeding as ‘a roaring farce at the expense of the morale of
the law.’

A new director of advertising
has been appointed for the Jafnea-

needed. As the Times-Recorder

Bankhead goes to the* United

to hold the job. With his long

ability, Bankhead should make a
senator for Alabama to be proud
of. But the anti-railroad crowd is
on top and will probably defeat
him. \
