ON THE TRUSTS
"THROUGH CONGRESS PRE8IDENT
WARNS AGAINST RESTRAINT
OF TRADE BY MONOPOLY.
HOLD MEN RESPONSIBLE
Interlocking Directorates Work Hardship
on Private Individuals and
Should Be Prohibited.?Uncertainty
Hampers Business.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
In my report on "the state of the
Union," which I had the privilege of
reading to you on the 1st of December
last, I ventured to reserve for discussion
at a later date the subject of additional
legislation regarding the very
difficult and intricate matter of trusts
and monopolies. The time now seems
opportune to turn to that great question;
not only because the currency
legislation, which absorbed your attention
and the attention of the country In
December, is now disposed of, but also
because opinion seems to be clearing
about us with singulnr rapidity in this
other great field of action. In the
matter of the currenrv tt nlonroH cua.
denly and very happily after the muchdebated
Act was passed; in respert of
the monopolies which have multiplied
about us and in regard to the various
means by which they have been organized
and maintained it seems to be
coming to a clear and all but universal
agreement in anticipation of our action,
as if by way of preparation, making
the way easier to see and easier
to set out upon with confidence and
without confusion of counsel.
legislation has its atmosphere like
everything else, and the atmosphere
of accommodation and mutual understanding
which we now breathe with
so much refreshment is matter of sincere
congratulation.
It ought to make our task very much
less difficult and embarrassing than
It would have been had we been obliged
to continue to act amidst the atmosphere
of suspicion and antagonism
which has so long made it impossible
to approach such questions with dispassionate
fairness. Constructive legislation,
when successful is always the
embodiment of convincing experience,
and of the mature public opinion which
finally springs out of that experience,
legislation is a business of interpretation,
not of origination; and it is now
pluln what the opinion is to which we
must give effect in this matter. It is
not recent or hnsty opinion. It springs
out of t'u expe*ience of a wliole generation.
It has clarified itself by long
contest, and those who for a long time
battled with it and sought to change
it are now frankly and honorably
yielding to it and seeking to conform
their actions to it.
The great business men who organized
and financed monopoly and those
who administered It in actual everyday
transactions hare year after year,
until now, either denied its existence
or justified it as necessary for the effective
maintenance and development
of the vast business processes of the
country in the modern circumstances
of trade and manufacture and finance;
but all the while opinion has made
bead against them. The average business
man is convinced that the ways
of liberty are also the ways of peace
and the ways of success as well; and
at last the masters of business on
the great scale have begun to yield
their preference and purpose, perhaps
their judgment also, in honorable surrender.
What wo are purposing to do, therefore,
is happily, not to hamper or interfere
with business ns enliiriitonorf
business men prefer to do It, or in any
sense to put It under the ban. The
antagonism between business and government
Is over. We are now about
to give expression to the best business
Judgment of America, to what we know
to be the business conscience and
honor of the land. The Government
and business men are ready to meet
each other half way in a common effort
to square business methods with
both public opinion and the law. The
best Informed men of the business
world condemn the methods and processes
and consequences of monopoly
as we condemn them; and the instinctive
judgment of the vast majority of
business men everywhere goes with
them. We shall now be their spokesmen.
That is the strength of our position
and the sure prophecy of what
will ensue when our reasonable work
la done.
When serious contest ends, when
men unite in opinion and purpose,
those who are to change their ways
of business joining with those who
aak for the change, it is possible to effect
it in the way in which prudent
and thoughtful and patriotic men
wotfd wish to see it brought about,
with as few, as slight, as easy and
simple business readjustments as pos^*ciblfc
in the circumstances, nothing
wr essential disturbed, nothing torn up
by the roots, no parts rent asunder
which can be left in wholesome combl'
nation. Fortunately, no measures of
sweeping or novel change are necesisary.
It will be understood that our
object is not to unsettle business or
Annywhere seriously to break its estab- ,
Wiahed courses athwart. On the con- j
flkrary, we desire the laws we are now
jflibout to pass to be the bulwarks amt
t Safeguards of Industry against the ,
t A>rces that hare disturbed it. What |
muw
i
.
we have to do can be done in a new
spirit, in thoughtful moderation, without
revolution of any untoward kind.
We are all agreed that "private
monopoly is indefensible und intoler|
able," and our programme is founded
upon that conviction. It will be a comprehensive
but not a radical or unacceptable
programme and these are itB
items, the changes which opinion deliberately
sanctions and for which :
business waits:
It waits with acquiescence. In the
first place, for laws which will et'fec- ;
tuallv prohibit and prevent such interlockings
of the personnel of the direc
torates of great corporations?banks
and railroads, Industrial, commercial,
and public service bodies?as In effect
result in making those who borrow
and those who lend practically one ami
the same, those who sell and those
j who boy but the same person trading
with one another under different
names and in different combinations,
and those who affect to compete in
fact partners and masters of some
whole field of business. Sufficient
time should be allowed, of course, in
which to enect these changes of orgun- !
lzation without inconvenience or confusion.
Such a prohlbtlon will work much
more than a mere negative good by
! correcting the serious evils which hnve
arisen because, for example, the me.i
who have been the directing spirits of
the great investment hanks hnve
usurped the place which belongs to
Independent industrial management
working in its own behoof. It will
bring new men. new energies, a new
spirit of Initiative, new blood, into the
management of our great business enterprises.
It will open the field of in- j
dustrial development and origination
to scores of men who have been
I obliged to serve when their abilities
I unlitlml 1 - Jl??
vuniicu uicui ui uirevi., 11 win immensely
hearten the young men coming
on and will greatly enrich the business
activities of (he whole country.
In the second place, business men
as well as those who direct public affairs
now recognize, and recognize
with painful clearness, the great harm |
and injustice which has been done to
many, if not all, of the great railroad
systems of the country by the way
in which they have been financed and
their own distinctive interests subordinated
to the interests of the men
who financed them and of other business
enterprises which those men
wished to promote. T he country is
ready, therefore, to accept, and accept
with relief as well as approval, a
law which will confer upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission the pow- '
er to superintend and regulate the
financial operations by which the railroads
are henceforth to be supplied
with the money tli >y need for their
proper development to meet the rapidly
growing requirements of the
country for increased and improved
facilities of transportation. We can
not postpone action in this matter
without leaving the railroads exposed
to many serious handicaps and
hazards; and the prosperity of the
railroads and the prosperity of the
country are Inseparably connected.
Upon this question those who are
chiefly responsible for the actual
management and operation of the
railroads have spoken very plainly
and very earnestly, with a purpose
\VP Aliphi tn ho nul/il/ c ~ **
, .. W ^V.n..v vx/ /? xfUllKV Hi II
will be one step, and a very important
one, toward the necessary separation ,
of the business of production from
the business of transportation.
The business of the country awaits
also, has long awaited and has suffered
because it could not obtain,
further and more explicit legislative
definition of the policy and meaning
of the existing antitrust law. Noth'
ing hampers business like uncertainty.
Nothing daunts or discourages it
like the necessity to take chances, to
run the risk of falling under the condemnation
of the law before it can j
make sure just what the law is.
Surely we are sufficiently familiar
with the actual processes and methods
of monopoly and of the many
hurtful restraints of trade to make
definition possible, at any rate up to
the limits of what experience has
disclosed. These practices, being now
abundantly disclosed, can be explicitly
and item by item forbidden by
statute in such terms as will practiI
cally eliminate uncertainty, the law
! itself and the penalty being made
equally plain.
And the business men of the country
desire something more than that
i the menace of legal process in these
matters be made explicit and intelligible.
They desire the advice, the
definite guidance and information
which can be supplied by an administrative
body, an interstate trade
commission.
The opinion of the country would
instantly approve of such a commission.
It would not wish to see it
empowered to make terms with monopoly
or in any sort to assume control
of business, as if the Government
made itself responsinle. It demands
such a commission only as an indispensable
instrument of information
and publicity, as a clearing house for
the facts by which both the public
mind and the managers of great business
undertakings should be guided,
and as an instrumentality for doing
justice to business where the processes
of the courts or the natural
forces of correction outside the courts
are inadequate to adjust the. remedy i
to the wrong in a way that will meet i
all the equities and circumstances of !
the case. I
Produclng/ industries, for example, i
which have passed the point up to ;
which combination may be consistent l
with the public interest and the free- j I
doip of trade, can not always be dls- i
sec tod into their component units as <
readily as railroad companies or elm- > t

THE FOtfT MILL TIMES, FOR
ilar organizations can be. Their dissolution
by ordinary legal process
may oftentimes involve financial consequences
likely to overwhelm the
security market and bring upon it
breakdown and confusion. There
ought to be an administrative commission
capable of directing and
shaping such corrective processes,
not only in aid of the courts but also
by independent suggestion, if necessary.
Inasmuch as our object and the
spirit of our action In these matters
is to meet business half way in its
processes of self-correction and disturb
its legitimate course as little as
possible, we ought to see to it. and
the judgment of practical and sagacious
men of affairs everywhere
would applaud us if we did see to it.
that penalties and punishments should
fall, not upon business itself, to its
confusion and interruption, but upon
the individuals who use the instrumentalities
of business to do things
wh'ch public policy and sound business
practice condemn. Every act of
business is done at the command coupon
the initiative of some ascertainable
person or group of persons.
These should be held individually responsible
and the punishment should
fall upon them, not upon the business
organization of which they make illegal
use. It should be one of tho
main objects of our legislation to divest
such persons of their corporate
cloak and deal with them as with
those who do not represent their corporations,
but merely nv deliberate
intention break the law. Business
men the country through would. I am
sure, applaud us if we were to take
effectual steps to see that the officers
and directors of great business

them and the business ot the country
into disrepute and dangt r.
Other questions remain which will
need very thoughtful and practical
treatment. Enterprises. ia these
modern days of great individual fortunes,
are oftentimes interlocked, not
by being under the control of the
same directors, but by the fact that
the greater part of their corporate
stock is owned by a single person or
group of persons who are In some
way intimately related in interest.
We are agreed, I take it. that holding
companies should be prohibited, but
what of the c 'trolling private ownership
of individuals or actually cooperative
groups of individuals? Shall
the private owners of capital stock be
suffered to be themselves in effect
holding companies? We do not wish,
I suppose, to forbid the purchase of
stocks by any person who pleases to
buy them in such quantities as he
can afford, or in any way arbitrarily
to limit the sale of stocks to bona
fide purchasers. Shall we require the
owners of stock, when their voting
power in several companies which
ought to be independent of one another
would constitute actual control,
to make election in which of them
they will exercise their right to vote?
This question I venture for your consideration.
There is another matter in which
imperative considerations of justice
and fair play suggest thoughtful
ntniffflitit nptinn Vnr nnlv rlrv tumi v
of the combinations effected or sought
to be effected in the industrial world
work an injustice upon the public in
general; they also directly and seriously
injure the individuals who are ;
put out of business in one unfair i
way or another by tne many dislodg- j
ing and exterminating foices of combination.
I hope that we shall agree
in giving private individuals who
claim to have been injured by these
processes the right to found their
suits for redress upon tiie facts and
judgments proved and entered 'n suits !
by the Government wheie the Government
has upon its own initiative
sued the combinations complained of
and won its suit, and that, the statute
of limitations shall be suffered to
run against such litigants only from ,
the date of the conclusion of the ;
Government action. It is not fair j
that the private litigant should bo
obliged to set up and establish again
the facts which the Government has !
proved. He can not afford, he has
not the power, to make use of such
processes of inquiry as the Govern- ;
ment has command nf Thus shall
individual justice be done while the
processes of business are rectified
and squared with the general conscience.
I have laid the case before you, no
doubt as it lies in your own mind, as
it lies in the thought of the country.
What must every candid man say of
the suggestions I have laid before
you. of the plain obligations of which !
i have reminded you? That these !
are new things for whie i the country
is not prepared? No; but that
they are old things, now familiar, and
must of course be undertaken if we
are to square our laws with the
thought and desire of the country.
Until these things are done, conscientious
business men the country over
will be unsatisfied. They are in these
things our mentors and colleagues.
We are now about to w ite the additional
articles of our constitution of
peace, the peace that is honor and
freedom and prosperity.

Eplt .ji .es, who had kept the books

inception by Hiram Patterson, the fa- ^

abied by old ago.
Of course, he would be pensioned, <
but tho question was, who would take (
his place? The Patterson business .
was an old-fashioned one, trading with t
a few wealthy, old-fashioned families. f
. There was nothing modern about the t
I little warehouse, tucked away in an
; obscuro corner of tho downtown sec- j
tion of the metropolis. A hustling
young American would have been like s
a bull in a china shop.
As a matter of fact, the Patterson ^
business barely paid its way. But
the brothers had amassed a comfor- ;
: table fortune. l>aniel, the elder, was ^
a littld over fifty; Abner, his brother.

"Woman!" yelled Daniel in horror.
"Why, women make tho best book- j,
keepers," answered Abner. "They're c
honester, and they attend to busiuess v
where a man would be thinking all the
tlmo of?of sports and moving pic
lures ana?nna norse racing." ^
This was the climax of wickedness
In both the brothers' eyes. So. in the
end, the experiment of a woman bookkeeper
was reluctnntly decided on.
And thus, in due course of time. Miss n
Marjory Brown took her seat at the ^
desk behind the grille and began to
take financial charge of the brothers" .

to the'r delight, Mlsa Brown proved as >'

was. it is probable that they would ; a

Brown answered their advertisement
her long. dark hair was tightly coiled
on the top of her head, and she wore
a print tailor-made suit; but after the ti
first week Miss Brown's hair was h
fashionably coiffured, and her dresses, lr
though simple, were of that fashion- b
able aspect which is commonly termed O
"stunning." And within a month Miss
Marjory Brown ruled the ofllco with y(
a rod of iron.
Abner, who had acquired the habit
of lingering a little too long over his
lunch, would slink into the ofllco on e:
his return in order to avoid Miss w
Brown's reproachful eyes. As for Dan- L
lei, if he took a lato train and turned h
up at ten instead of at nine fifteen, he si
hardly dared give Miss Brown instruc- tt
Hons during the rest of the forenoon. T
"Abner," said Daniel one day, "1 ai
withdraw what I said against women tt
bookkeepers. MIbs Brown is a?er? lj
a?er?peach!" ti
He hissed the word at his brother ai
and then looked at him as one who es
has committed a breach of decorum, li
Hut Abner only nodded his head, and ri
then Daniel looked at him quite dif- hi
ferently. That Abner should hold the b:
same opinion or Miss Hrown roused a si
curious sensation in him. ir
From that time onward each broth- w
er watched the other narrowly when w
he was talking to Miss Ltrowu. ti<
"Abner," said Daniel, "what would ai
we do if she left us?" w
"Deft us!" echoed Abner. "Why tt
should she leave us?" tl
"Well?er?she might get married, fc
you know," suggested Daniel.
"1 guess we'd better raise her salary,
then." replied Abner.
So Miss Brown was duly raised from 01
fifteen to twenty dollars a week, to , ys
lure her away from matrimonial as- in
plrations. pi
Hut that was In the good times be- yj
fore the panic. Then business grew hi
worse and worse, and, as is always h<
the case, the trade In luxuries was the te
first to suffer. The business fell off nt
to almost nothing. It became a case sa
of closing the warehouse or selling se- "I
entities at a price which would have b<
swept away half the brothers" fortune.
"Abner,*' said Daniel, "Miss llrown
ivill have to go. You give her notice.'*
"Why don't you give her notice?"
inswered Abner. "You are the senior
partner." He had observed that Danel
had grown much more formal with
VI I..., II -?

"Hut you are a man of tho world,
Abner," urged Daniel. "You have had
?er?experience In theso matters,
rell her, Abner, that we may tako
ler back If we re-open."
"Take her back!" repeated Abner,
scornfully. "Why, Daniel, she will
lave another position then. How
>ould we get her back?"
"But nobody except MIbs Brown
sould understand our system." lament?d
Daniel. "We should have to train
i new bookkeeper, and all he would
hlnk about would be moving picture
thows and horse racing. Abner, you
ell Miss Brown."
So Abner. very reluctantly edged
its way toward the grille.
"Miss Brown," he began, "I am very I
lorry to say that I?that Is, the firm

jerhaps for a long time."
-As ho looked at Miss Marjory Brown
\bner suddenly became aware that
or tho first time In months he was
ible to do so without Daniel coming
n to call him. Daniel had always
inted to have him talk to tho bookkeeper.
And. now he came to think
>f It. he hated to have Daniel talk
o her, too. The chance might never <
cour again. Miss Brown's hair had
Luburn tints among its shadowy i
resses. Miss Brown's figure was dllne.
Miss Brown reminded him of !
omebodv ho had once known wYinn
10 really was tho reckless member
if (ho family. And suddenly Abner
ins swept away Into doing tho most
eckless thing that he had ever done.
"Hut wo want you to stay with us
or ever," he stammered. "We want
011 to be?or-?er?wife."
Miss Brown's cheeks became tho
olor of a ruddy peach.
"Whoso wife did jju say, Mr. Abler,"
she murmured, looking down at
ler ledger.
"My wife!" ejaculated Abner, takng
the ledger brazenly away.
"I knew you couldn't mean Mr. Danel's
wife." murmured Miss Ilrown five
ninutes later.
"Why, dearest?" Inquired Abner.
"Because I refused him two months
go," answered Miss Brown.

BAD CASE OF DANDRUFF
Blssell, Ala.?"I had a very bad case
of dandruff on my head. I was tormented
by Itching and my hair began
to como out by the combfuls. I almost
becamo frantic, fearful that I
would lose all of my hair which was
my pride. There were some pimples
on my scalp and I scratched them un- a
til they made sores. My hair was dry
snd lifeless.
"I saw the advertisement of Cutlcura
Boap and Ointment and sent to my
druggist for three cakes of Cutlcura
Boap and a box of Cutlcura Ointment.
I washed my scalp with warm water
strong with the Cuticura Soap and
dried, afterwards applying the Cutlcura
Ointment, working it In the scalp
slowly with my fingers. After using
them for several days my hair began
to stop coming out. The dandruff all
disappeared and in less than four
weeks a cure was accomplished permanently."
