The Critics Are Silenced.

When President Roosevelt appointed Knox attorney general, there was a great outcry among Democrats about the appointment because Knox was a distinguished corporation lawyer. No doubt he was hired by the corporations »n account of his great ability. For the same reason the president appointed him attorney general. Since he has undertaken the fight against the railroad mergers and the beef trust, the guns of the opposition have been silenced. Let It be remembered that all anti-trust laws have beefi passed by' a Republican congress and all efforts to enforce such laws have been made by Republican administration—Noblesville Ledger.
