REPUBLICAN ADMINILIS
TRATION AND THE TRUSTS
Although President Roosevelt has made
more than one grand-stand play in pre
tended opposition to the trusts, he has
surrendered his administration to the trust
interest by acquiescing in the appointment
of Attorney General Knox, at the dictation
of a caucus of trust magnates, to the un
expired term of the late United States
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania.
Attorney (seneral Knox had been mak
ing some pretense at prosecuting the
trusts—more pretense than practice, how
ever—and now the trust interest gets rid
of him in the office of Attorney General
by having him transferred to the Senate,
where he can be more readily managed
and will be less harmful to them in the
prosecution of their plans. And the
prompt acquiescence of President Roose
velt in the selection of Knox te succeed
Quay indicates the real attitude of the
present administration toward unlawful
combinations.
The transsfer of Knrox from the cabine*.
to the Senate, at the demand of the lead
ing trust representatives, affords the
Democrats an opportunity to make a
strong arraignment of the Republican
party in the campaign this year for pro
tecting the trusts, —Albany Herald.
DON'T BE A GROUCH.
We love the man who can lose an
election and not get mad about it. We
like to se a man who can smile in the face
of Misfortuna and wink at despair. We
glory in the spunk that snatches a song
from the wreck of a tumbling air cas
tle,
There is always hope for the cheerful
love Faith isthe mainstring of his exis
tance. Hope is his daily bread, and
Charity is the key-note of his character!
And the greatest of these is Charity,
The man who spills lis milk and then
goes grunting, growling and grieving
about it is a nuisance, a misfit social fac
tor and wart on the face of humanity. He
a grouch! Good Lord, deliver us from
the grouch and the sorehead!
But the man who spills his milk and
then views the situation calmly and phil
osopher! What of him? Why our
hearts warm right up to him and we are
real sorry he spilled his milk, and we
hope he will soon get another pail-full
and go on his way rejoicing.
And he will get it—you watch him,
He always gets it. And pretty soon he
comes up the road again and passes the
grouch who is stillnursing his grievance.
Don’t be a grouch Be sunny.
The primary is over, the ballots have
been cast, and the choice of the people
has been expressed. Now let us all for
et the past and look out for the future,
The primary has been a clean one so far
as we know,
Let neighbors still be neighbors, and
friends still be friends
