IWTB AJID DwCeLAJ m. nees, remember that, lou cannot put a top to or reverse the Industrial tendency of the age. You can control and regulate them so that they will do no harm. (Ap- plAUtit.f Another thing, you do not build these levees tn a day or a month. The man who told you he had a patent devise by which In sixty daya ht would solve the whole question of floods of the great rivers, would not be a. wise man. but a perfect miracle of wis dom, compared to the man who telle you that by another remedy he can bring the . mUllnium In our Industrial and social af fairs. We can do something. I believe we ran do a good deal, bjt our accomplishing what i expect to see accomplished Is con ditioned upon our setting to work on a eplrtt as far removed as possible from his tory. A spirit of sober, steadfast, kindly (I want to emphasise the word kindly) de termination not to submit wrong our selves and not to wrong ot Not to In terfere with the great t ss develop, irent of the country, but a. e same time so to shape our legislation and administra tion as to regulate. If we cannot remedy, the vicious features connected with that In dustrial development Betteraaent ( Conditions. Now, the big corporations, although nom inally the creatures of one state, usually do business In other states, and In a very large number of cases the wide variety of state laws on the subject of corporations has brought about the fact that the cor poration la made In one state, but does al most all Its work In entirely different states. It has proved utterly Impossible to get anything Hue uniformity of legislation among the states. Some states have pass d laws about corporations which. If they had not been ineffective, would nave totally prevented any important corporate work being done within their llmlta. Other states have such lax luws that there Is no effective effort made to control any of the abimes. As a result we have a system of divided control, where the nation has something to say, but it Is a little difficult to know exactly how much, and where the dif ferent states have each something to hay, but where there Is no supreme power that can speak with authority. Pleads for More Power. It Is a mere truism to tay that every cornnratinn th mnt wii largest. Is the creature of the state. Where the corporation la amall there la very little need of exercising much supervision over it. But the stupendous corporations of the present day should be under governmental supervision and regulation. (Applause; The first effort to be made is to give some body the power to exercise that super vision, that regulation. We have already laws on the statute books. Those laws will be enforced and are .being enforced with all the power of the national government and wholly without regard to persona. (Ap plause.) v r But the power Is very limited Now, I , want you to take my words at their exact .value. 1 think, 'I cannot say I am sure, because It has often happened In the past that congress has passed laws with a given purpose in view and when ttiat i ' P'e" Judicially interpreted It has proved Kun uuipuia hub noi acnieveu, out 1 think that by legislation additional power In the way of regulation of at least a number of those great corporations can be conferred. But. gentlemen, I firmly believe that In the -end power must be given through a contitltutlonal amendment to the national government to exercise In full supervision and regulation of, those great enterprises. (Applause.) That Is not new doctrine for me. That Is the doctrine that 1 advocated on the stump two years age. Now I have said that there can be no uiuuirni irmfujr onerea. mere is not any one thing which can be done to remedy all the existing evils. There are a good many things which. If we do them, will, I believe, make a very appreciable betterment of our existing condition. Let me go back to my Illustration of the Mississippi river. It took some time to build the levees, but we built them. And If we have the proper Intelligence, the proper resolution, and the proper self restraint, we can work out the solution along the lines that I have Indicated. The first thing in to give the national govern ment the power. What power la given. I can assure you, will be used In a spirit as far as possible umcirni remeay orrerea. 'mere Is not an run lanuur, nui wnn me nrmeai determi nation to make big men and little men alike obey the law. (Applause.) - i' First Need the Power. i What we need first Is power. Having gotten the power, gentlemen, remember that the work won't be ended It will be only fairly begun. And, let me say again, and again, and again, that you will not get the millennium. The millennium la some way off yet. But you will be In a position to make long strides In the direction of securing a Juster and fairer and more In telligent and more honest management of those corporations, both as regards the general public and as regarda their rela tionships among themselves. When you have the power I ahould most earnestly advocate that It be used with the greatest wisdom and self-restraint. The first thing would be to find out the facts. For that purpose I am absolutely clear that we need publicity, not as a favor from any one corporation, but as a matter of right. The mere fact of the publicity Itself will tend to stop many of the evils and It will show that some of the alleged evils are Imaginative. . And, finally, in making evident the re maining faults, those that are not Imag inary, end are not cured by the light of day Itself, It will give us an Intelligent proposition as to the methods to take tn getting them. (Applauae.) We should have under any circumstances one sovereign to which the big corpora tions ahould be responsible a sovereign In whose courts the corporation could be held accountable for any failure to comply with the laws of the legislature of that sov ereign. I do not think you can accom plish that among the forty-stx sovereians of the statea. I think It will have to be through the national government. Now, I want to draw one lesson from the ex perience of some of you whom I see in the audience who fouaht In the civil war. You recollect It perfectly well, whether you wore the blue or the gray, how people who eat at home were dead aure you ought to do everything quickly, you who wear my friend there the button which shows that you wore the blue, remember the days just before Bull Run. when all the excellent people who were at home said it was your duty to go on at once to Klchmond; they demanded that It be done: they wanted It then within two weeks. Then Bull Run tame along and the movement was the other way and then a lot of the same men who had Wen demanding at the tope of their voices that you should Instantly go eu to Richmond said that the war was over. 'It waa done, nothing more te be eccom pl'uhed. You and those like you did not tli I iik so, the Bum north and south were built of a different stuff. The .war went on for years, and you would' not have guttoit to UVchmond at all If you bad In- Dragged'Down Feeling In the loins. . Nervousness, un refreshing sleep, deapoo deocy.

Bm, Sept. 7, lWJ. elsted that you could only go there by a patent device. That waa not the way you got there. You got there by setting ojr teeth and making your mind up that you were In to see that fight through. Then you had to face defeat, and come up again, and If defeated to try again, until out of defeat you wrested triumph. You made up your minds that you would win by the same qualities that have made good soldiers from the time that the world was young. Spirit Always the Same. The men In blue, and the men in gray who fought Jn the great civil war had dif ferent ' weapons and were drilled ' In dif ferent' tactics from the soldiers who fol lowed Washington and Greene and Mad Anthony Wayne, who fouaht under Marion: who fought at Bunker Hill, who fought at Kings Mountain. You nsd diflerent uni forms, different weapons, different tactics, but the spirit that drove you forward was the same. (Applause.) And, now. If ever this country should be called, as I most earnestly hope and believe It never will be called, to face a serious1 foreign foe the men that fight will have high power, small calibre, smokeless powder rifles, they will fight In open or der, Instead of the old elbow to elbow touch, they will fight under entirely dif ferent tactics; under different conditions, but If they win' they will win because they had In them the same stuff that their fathers had In the civil war. their great frandfathers 'n the revolutionary war. Applause.) The weapon changes the gun changes, but the Qualities of the man be hind the gun have got to remain the same as ever. - (Applause.) It Is Just so In dealing with these prob lems of cltlsenshlp. The changed condi tions mean that there must be change In the laws; change from time to time In the fundamental principle underlying the whole matter. The law now and then has no change, but In the long run. it is the man behind the law that counts. We need good laws; we need the very beat law; need the best constitution and need to amend It so as to keep It what It Is, the best consti tution. But no constitution, no law, will supply the place In the average Individual of those qualities In which In their sum make good cuisenslilp. Gone for the Gaardantea. It la Just. as It la in battle. I hate, and If any National guardsman Is here he will appreciate what I say, I hate to see our National Guard armed with a black powder musket. I would about aa soon see him armed with a crossbow. I believe that for any man wearing the uniform which la Uncle Barn's or many be Uncle Sam's in an emergency, the best weapon la none too good. (Applause.) But If i you give a man the best weapon In the world and he himself Is a pretty poor sort of a creature, he will be beaten by a good man with a club, (Applause and lauahter.) Now. It Is lust an In tha flM of civic life. If our Average cltlsenshlp Is low, no lsws will save us. There are other countries with almost exactly our con etltuUon.. with ermuch similar lawe to ?urs, where nevertheless, the experience of ree government has been almost a fail ure, because the men did not have the ssme'eturr for cltiienshlD. In the last re sort it must be the high average .standard of cltlsenshlp upon . which we will have to rely In this republic. Something -can .tlAA Km I . . ...... .L.I M by honest and fearleaa administration of tne law, nut most or all must depend upon having the right kind of men; the - right kind of women In the country. ' We need tr.ore than- Intellect we need character cnaracter which counts most; that Is what counts more than anything ela In life, (applause) character which counts for the individual In private life, which counts In the life of the state; character which we want to see In eur public men. when they tackle the problem of the trusts, or of anything else; character which la funda mentally composed of many element but which must command these three: Hon esty first; I do not care how able a man Is, If he Is a scamp, he la a danger; I do not care how honest a man, if he la afraid he Is no good. Honesty, first, then cour age and those two qualities are not enough. It doee not make any difference how brave a man is or how honest.

(.No man In Rear Ad miral Higglnson's fleet knows today which has won the maneuvers of the last week, the navy or tbe army, but so Important (re the lessons earned and valuable the experi ences of the days of "war" that the ques tion of victory Is comparatively of minor Import. The Incident ot last night, when five ot the htps rsn Into tbe eastern passage of Nar agansett Bay by Forts Adams and Wtth- erlll, without accident of any kind, I re garded as highly successful but dangerous navigation. While by Itself the run by tbe forts would hav been as foolhardy as It was brilliant and " spectacular, the " result must be judged by the' relation of the night movement to the maneuvers of tbe after noon, when Admiral Higglnson's ships exe cuted plans' more nearly Ilka the strategy of war than anything during the week, these" plana Included the capture of naval stations by Brooklyn and Olympla at' Nar rangansett Pier, and by Montgomery, May Bower and Scorpion at Price's Neok,' New port, and tbe shelling of the torts by three ships from the shelter ot Ochre Point, with a similar performance by Kearsarge and Al abama from outside Brenton H??t lightship. These ' maneuver ' over, the warsblps re turned t Block Island, later to -return to Newport for. the night attack. When the Havy Fronted. The valuable experience (o the' navy re ferred to by Admiral Hrgklnsoh In bU state ment this morn I mi began on (he first day of hoettllt'te when two companies Of blue Jackets from Alabama' captured the signal station at Block Island and thereby estab lished the nkvy base of operations. It was continued on Tuesday when' the larger ships bombarded Plum ' Island' and '' Gardner's Point; 'again on Wednesday when the four battleships made" descent upon Fort Wright at Fisher's Island. ' In the latter case the navy won the day beyond a doubt, because ' the warships had actually begun tneit. passage through the Race before the fort could t-Sath them. ' Excellent' experi ence was seen early on Thursday mornlnfc when the ships tailed, through error In cal culation and because of clearing weather to make another run through the race, from Block Island, and were forced to retire. On Thursday night took place the third try at the Race, with the possible theoretical loss of several of the men-of-war. The bom bardment cf Forte Rodman and Newport, tbe capture of Montauk Point and the daring bit of work early Friday morning of Lieuten ants Robinson and Hughes In counter-min ing Newport harbor, furnished incidents of note.' This' last Incident waa, from tbe standpoint of the navy, the feature event of the) war tarns. ' " . . the war game. Saoeeesrafi (trategto Move. .

This they started to do. Ths movements of the day were th least spectacular of the week. ' With alt the absence of the dramatic, they approximated tbe geutne war maneuvers more than anything that bad preceded., . ., - , Looking St the week, of maneuvers di rectly from the point of View of Alabama, the moat striking Impression was the man ner tn which the sotlre ship's erew fel in quickly and easily with tbe spirit of tbe maneuvers. Tbe naval reserves seemed to have beeg on tbe ship for years. Captain WUIard.H. Brownson of Alabama said: 'My ' observation Is '.. that ' the reserves grasped .the situation quickly, especially In th handling of the guns. To my mind, the practice of the satire crew (n. the use of batteries was distinctly valuable." ,' Another Impression from Alabama Is that the searchlights on shore were used with success at Newport, but tbat at Fisher' Island and Gardiner's Island they almost tailed In tbslr work, while tbe glare from the . lights waa not, ' on the whole, a troublesome to navigators, as was expected.

Tbe real object of tbe game wa hot the gaining of a victory by . either the army or .the navy,. as many thought, but to test to. the limit the appurtenances, of war both on land and on sea, and partic ularly to test the strength of the coast de fenses against any .possible enemy BLOCK ISLAND, R, I., Sept.

(.The most interesting occurrence' of tbe theatrical week -vas Ar thur Plnero's angry ' defense of h'a "The Gay Lord Quex." At the annual meeting of the Institute ot Journalists, Sir Edward R. Russell, editor of the Liverpool Dally Post, held up "The Gay Lord Oiex" as tho type of a play which should be con demned, by tho press, describing It as a "callous enjoyment of Coarse sin," In which the hero - displayed "no desire r prefer ence for what was chaste." Plaero. has written to the Times a bitter satin on Sir Edward,. ','It must.be a sad matter," said tbe dramatist, "for so earnest ao(l Indus trious a crltle to. find In the autumn .or hi critical life bis gods displaced, and see the work n loudly acclaimed eiuier tor gotten or treated with deliberate neglect. What I venture to complain ot Is that Sir Edward, tn chagrin at the mustlnei s of his ideals, should allow vexation to tempt him to unfalrneaa toward a work to shlch he brlnga almost ot necessity an Imperfect understanding. Plnero challenges Sir Edward lo prove bis assertions by sxtracts from ths play, adding: "That the comedy does not bulong to the school, which labels each of Ita char acters wolf or lamb and that It seeks 'to depict men and wpmen a they are, not wholly virtuous or wholly evil, I am pre pared to admit. Man should be Judged by the good In him. By bis standard I sub mlt tbat Lord Quex la not an unamlabl personage. Lord Quex will not, I am con vinced, be condemned utterly by Intent gent and liberal minded people because of bis lapses, any more than Sir Edward Rus sell Is to be condemned on account of bis present variation from truth, good feeling and good taste." ' The theatrical season begins to look tip. There will be three first performances and two revivals during the coming' week. Nance O'Nefl, whose reception by the Loo don critics' has been a mlitur of grudging praise and ungracious comparison with Blgnora Dues and Mme. Bernhardt presents "Camllle" at ths Adelpl next Monday. The same night Charles Frohman will open tbe Prince ot Wales' theater with "Three Lit tle Maids" and Sissy Loftua at tbe Savoy will create a new comedy ' character, "Naughty Nancy." Wyndham's theater opens September with Hsnry Arthur Jones' "Chance, the Idol," while on September 11 Frank Cur ton -will produce Victor Wldnell's new play, "secret and Confidential." Mr. Jones has also contracted with Arthur Bourchler for a new play to be presented at the Gar rick, which he will write in the south bf France, to which he will start soon. ' There was a successful opening In Dub lin this wsek of "Th Children ot the King," a revised version of Rosmer and Humperdinck's "Dls Konlgsmlnder." Th eompany goes to America after a short provincial tour. ' Fred Terry baa secured the rights of "Th King's Wager," a new play by H. C. Clarke and O. A. Warriner.

INDICT TRAFFIC OFFICIALS Interstate Commerce Gommiiiisi Beitrts to th Criminal Courts. RUMOR THAT THIS IS. ONLY BEGINNING Ageat of Commission Said to Have Information Whleh laealaatee Prominent Mea la tho ' . Northwest. MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. (.The four rail road officials indicted by the grand Jury for manipulation of rates are W. B. Burt, F. W. Bennett, general freight agent of the Toledo, Ann Arbor AV North Michigan railroad, and H. F. Whltcomb, president, and Burton Johnson, general freight agent of the Wisconsin Central railroad. Tbe two roads connect at Monltowoc, Wis., by car ferry. . No attempt haa yet been made to cause their arrest, nor Is It thought there will be any for th present. CHICAGO. 8ept, (.J. P, Marchand, spe cial attorney tor the Interstate Commerce commission, stated tonight that capiases bad been Issued for the arrest of ths In dicted men and will be served upon Mr. Burt at Saginaw, upon Mr. Bennett at To ledo and upon Messrs. Whltcomb and John son at Milwaukee. Judge Munger, at Min neapolis, fixed the. bail of each defendant at $2,500. . . . . . The act under which the bills were voted fixes penaltlea of a fine. not exoeedlng (5,000, or imprisonment In tbe penitentiary for a term not exceeding two years, or both, St discretion of the court. It Is understood that the documents charge the officials with unlawful manipulation of rates with- re spect to flour and feed transported to east ern, destinations. Evidence is said te have been adduced to ahow tbat secret rates were given to certain big millers, and that domeatlo flour waa handled on tbe export rate. Tha bills are also said t contain a clause charging false billing aa a means whereby traffic wa procured for the two roads Involved. ... . , : Mar Go After Others. There were summoned as witnesses before the grand Jury thirty prominent railroad officials and millers of the northwest, but only three witnesses were heard. These are said to have been a Lake Shore agent at North Amherst, O., a flour and feed dealer at the aame place and Auditor Smith of the Interstate Commerce commission. The dismissal of so large a number of important witnesses leads to the belief that a special grand Jury will be summoned to take up the. matter-of cut rates and preferences given to shippers with a -view of punishing not only all the railroad officials Involved, but also those who accepted ths preferences. It Is understood tbat ths agent of ths Interstate Commerce commission secured a great deal more evidence than be expected inculpating many prominent men In the northwest, and that the four pending bills are but the beginning of the prosecutions. Reports are current that other railroads will be Involved.. The present case is the first In th his tory of the commission where tbe attention of that body was directed to infractions of the law by railroad mea. Heretofore and prior to the issuance of the Injunction by the United States court prohibiting secret rates and preferences, any cut rste by any Una haa always been met . by reprisals by competing lines made In similar manner, and governmental Investigation haa been shunned. The restraining orders - leaned against twelve of the strongest line east and westbound from Chicago bad made such action impossible, ,.,..., .. ,' Agents of the various rsllrosds Interested are said' to hays' made a quiet Investigation which resulted In evidence being placed bo fore ' the Interstate bommeree commission, and upon this tbe federal grand Jury acted. 8AGINAW,' Mich., Sept.
