DOLLIYER ON THE IOWA IDEA
Hawkey Stiator Expounds Eis Bute's
Attitude aa Tariff.
TRUST QUESTION WILL SETTLE ITSELF
Delegates to Meeting of National Re
publican Leaiae Told that Law
of Competition la Still
In Force,
CHICAOO, Oct. 2. "The Iowa Idea" came
to the aurface tonight at a maaa meeting
under the auspices of the National League
of Republican Cluba, which met In annual
-onventlon here today. United States 6en
T J. P. Dolllver of Iowa was responsible.
nator Dolllvei's distinction as an orator
and statesman assured him in advance the
enthuaiaatlc reception be received from an
audience that filled the First regiment
armory. Interest became Intense when it
waa realized by the delegatea to the con
vention and spectators that they were being
treated to the first public speech on the
subject by a national leader of the party
since the Iowa republican state convention.
Mr. Dolllver said in part:
Iet us look at the Iowa Idea for a min
ute, and 1 select that only because I am
more familiar with It and because circum
stances have arisen to give It a univeraal
ndvertlsement. It has been presented to
the country as the sudden impulse of dis
satisfied mischief makers within the repub
lican party. On the other hand it is the
mature Judgment of a man whose mature
Judgment has never failed the party in
forty years of service.
Our party recognizes the necessity for
large capital for the transaction of- a great
business, especially for the commercial con
quests upon which we are now entering,
but they also recognize the abuses In great
Industrial enterprises and would have the
government stand between the community
and the reckless perversion of tho recent
law of corporate property. It is evident
that even If It were deelrable to kill the
trusts it could not be done by merely re
mitting the duties which their foreign
competitors pay at our custom houses.
Free Trade Not a Remedy.
Even Mr. Bryan, who talks of putting the
captains of Industry Into a chain gain and
sending J. I'lerpont Morgan first to the
poor house and then to the penitentiary,
admits publicly that the free trade remedy
falls very far short of the object he has
in view. Nearly every sober student of the
subject admits that it is pressure of com
petition which has drawn some of our In
dustries first into groups and then into
gigantic combinations, under a single cor
porate management.
I have, from the beginning, been slow to
believe that It is possible for one man or
any combination of men to overrule the
forces, which make for equity and fair
dealing In human society. For that reason
I have been willing to wait for the facts,
and govern my Judgment by a more care
ful observation than has hitherto been
practicable. The census of lf00 haa given
an accurate account of the trusts and
what they are doing, and the dally reports
of the market place Indicate what their
present standing and future prospects ac
tually are. We know that they are 183
In number, representing the consolidation
of 2,040 separate plants. We know that
lean than 10 per cent of the factory labor
of the country Is employed by them and
only 14 per cent of our manufactured out
put Is made by them, and, leaving out
chemicals, and the products of Iron and
wteel, the' percentage Is hardly visible to
the naked eye. In the textile Industries
they are almost unknown, and most of the
other fields of American production they
have entered aa mere intruders and dis
turbers .of the peace, .. ...
What Trusts Have Done.
Between 190 and lrtl moat of them have
been established and, In the aggregate,
counting all klnda of stocks and all kinds
of bonds which they have issued, their
gloss capitalization has been 16,500,000,000,
from which at least S2.O00,0OO,O0O should be
deducted to cover spurious stock which rep
resents nothing except the swindling
projects of adventurers and cheats at
common law. So that, putting all the con
solidations which have been effected In the
laht twelve years together, W.uOO.WO.OuO
may be set ' down aa their true
aggregate capitalization, Including their
bonds. Theae corporations have en
larged our productive capacity by the
addition of new bonaflde capital In a
page advertisements, and In nearly every
one of them the motive of the organization
has been mainly to shield capital already
Invested trom the operation of natural
forces always present In the commercial
world. If they have failed In that they
have failed In everything, and the power
which' some have been afraid would be used
to wrong and burden the community, haa
not even proved equal to the task of tak
ing care of Itself.
Where Their Bones Bleach.
Before anybody makes up his mind that
the ao-called American trust ts a perms
rent Institution, let him consider the long
list of ambitious combinations which have
already had their affairs wound up by the
courtB of Justice. The alcohol trust, the
linseed oil trust, the alkali trust, the as
phalt trust, the bicycle trust, and scores
of others whose very names are now even
forgotten. What was the matter with these
astonishing creations of the promoters'
art? Nine out of ten of them were bogus,
and. without stretching the law very much,
could have been dented the use of the malls
on an ordinary fraud order. Only yester
day one of the mammoth establishments,
the National Bait company, had a little
business before a court of equity in New
Jersey. Tho organization of that trust In
18f9 was looked upon everywhere as a step
in the direction of monopolizing the neces
saries of life.
The more I examine the old law of com
petition, tho better it looks to me. If the
day of settlement has already come to so
many of these once formidable Institutions.
how nas it rarea lor tnose who so tar
survived the tet7 Already the evidence is
accumulating rrnm which the freedom of
trusts can be foretold, even the most solv
ent and best managed of them all. The
figures of the census show that neither In
the mercantile nor the manufacturing
world has the small dealer who owns his
business and givea it his personal atten
tion anything to fear In competition with
the overgrown and top heavy inveatmenta
of capital that surround him.
No Room for Despair.
There Is no room in thla discussion for
vain exclamations of alarm and despair.
I'p to this time the tariff policy to which
we owe the prosperous conditions which
now surround us nas been trie ally ot In
dependent capital In Its grapple with the
modern trust system: but If the day should
ever come when the productive energies
of the American peop.e are Impotent In
the presence of monopoly, the protection
which for more than a generation our laws
have given to all our industries alike la
not likely to remain to enrich auch a con
spiracy of avurice and greed.
Mr. Dollver spoke at some length on the
progress of self government In the Phll
llH'iiifs. and closed with a tribute to the
man of bralna and courage who la the
leader of the republican party and the
president of the I'nited States.
Other speakers at the meeting were Con
gressman A. J. Hopkins of Illinois and
Martin B. Madden of Chicago.
Rontlne of the Day.
Before the convention opened It waa com
monly admitted that the nomination of
Prealdent Roosevelt In 1904 would be en
dorsed. In fact tt waa oni about thla mat
terf that certain predictions were made.
Whether the Iowa delegation would aeek
to have its Ideas on tariff revision endorsed,
whether the league has the constitutional
right to concern itself with state platforma
and the matter of a aucceaaor to the retir
ing prealdent, Iaaao Miller Hamilton, were
questions over which the delegatea ex
pected debate when Mr. Hamilton rapped
for order.
Among the candidates for the leagua
presidency were mentioned J. H. Moore ot
Pennsylvania. Sid B. Redding ot Utile
Rock, Ark., Richard Woods of Sioux Falls,
8. D., and Shirley E. Johnson of Kentucky.

BALDWIN TELLS HIS STORY
All tee Troible Eis Arctic Trip Dis te
lacial Jealousy,
BAD COMBINATION IN HIGH PLACES
Swede Sailing; Master Did Not Want
to Play Second Fiddle to the
Norwegian Ice Pilot,
hot Had To.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Evelyn B. Baldwin,
the Arctic explorer, arrived today on the
steamship Germanic of the White Star line.
Mr. Baldwin at first refused to talkJ
about the alleged controveraltlea which had
taken place between him and Captain
Johannaen of America but after hearing
that It had been reported that the expe
dition had been short ot food and supplies
made the following statement:
"There Is not a word of truth in the re
port of our not having sufficient supplies.
It la not eaay to explain tbe trouble between
myaelf and Captain Johannsen. He wanted
to be tbe whole thing. That'a all. Tbe
trouble first started between the captain,
or to give him his proper title, sailing mas
ter, and the ice pilot, whose name Is Am
sen. The Ice pilot took up his place In tbe
crow's nest on the ship when we were in
ths ice fields and should have had and
eventually did have complete charge of
directing tbe ship.
Sides with the Pilot.
"The sailing master objected to tbe Ice
pilot holding absolute sway over tbe move
ments at any time, and that la how the
row began. I, of course, took the side of
the pilot and saw that be was kept In
command while we were In the Ice. The
pilot had had twenty-nine years' experience
on the ice fields, while the sailing master
had had practically none.
"The expedition went away with forty
two persons on board and we brought back
the same number. Fram drifted around
In tbe Ice for four years, while In one year
we did almost aa much and established an
outpost. Why, we ought to be congratu
lated Instead of, as you say n America,
Jumped upon. I have learned one good
lesson though never take a Swede and a
Norwegian together along with you if you
want to avoid trouble. The Ice pilot was
a Norwegian and the sailing master a
Swede. There's the whole thing in a nut
sbel. Treated All Fairly.
"Every one was treated fairly and no
one can say truthfully that he was not.
If I go again next year, no matter who I
take with me, whether they be Zulus, Hot
leu tula or white men, there are sure to
be some kickers In the crowd. The mem
bers of this exposition were mostly young
men and very few of them had ever under
taken euch a trip before. This might ex
plain some of the things said about me,
but I am being done a great injustice.
"We were aendlng balloons and buoys
adrift, containing messages, continually.
Altogether we sent over 300 messages.
Fifteen balloons were sent up, but they
never reached their destination. The me
teorloglcal observations -and - the dredging
will - be et-gpeat intecastto.aalsnoftr . Wo
manufactured our our own hydrogen gaa for
the balloons without accident, which la an
other thing I think we deaerve credit for.
The knowledge gained or air and currents
will also bo of great value to aclonce. I
still believe that when the pole Is reached
it will be found to be aurrounded by ice.
Aa to the fate of Andre, I think he went
down into the sea."

Returned to childhood by the wave of
an uneeen wand. 150,000 people on the
atreeta of Omaha gazed last night at a
epectacle that gave substance to all th-
vagrant phantasies of Infant mind, revived
the tales that once were wont to mingle
with the goodnight prayers, awoke the old
delight In tinseled beauty, blew Into flame
the embers of dying Imagination, and. for
the hour, drove away those sordid cares
that make men old before their time.
King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII, ruler of all
Qulvera, came unto his own, and with him
came a pageant that mingled the craft ot
man with the Inspiration of the child and
told the wondrous story of a "Festival of
Fairyland."
A atory with no moral, true, and with
no historic value, but one so pure In theme,
so brilliant in adornment, as to ap
peal to all with one great power and gain
from all a most unstinted approbation.
A klng'a no less a king for owning to
a softer sldo, and Ak-Sar-Ben VIII made
no apologies for his pageant as be rode
last night between the ranks ot his bearded
knights to receive the key to the Imperial
city's gates. After his own resplendent
float trailed nineteen others, and their ad
vance through the lighted thoroughfares
was as the advance of a Jeweled flotilla
through rivers of fire, 8.000 fairy lamps
glowing In the train.
Night Almost Perfect.
With no stars or moon to pale the bril
liance of the royal gema, yet with neither
heaven's tears to dampen nor Boreas' blasts
to chill, the night was most auspicious,
and when the mighty pageant buret Into
bloom for a first time far to the north
ward the legions of the loyal bad long been
In waiting. Moving forward over Its wind
ing course, cheer after cheer greeted It
at every hand, and when the great gold
key was surrendered by the clty'a chief
executive, the . thousands I crowded In lb
street below and In the amphitheaters all
about gave a shout like the rolling of
tempestuoua surf, and the echoes traveled
leaguea to the waiting ears of them that
could not see, but understood.
Detained but a moment, the pageant
gilded on again and within the hour had
forever faded from view, Just as the figures
of dream land have, and. like them, left
behind only a pang at Its quick going, only
a Joy that It came at all, only a memory
of a beauty too great to endure, a pleasure
too subtle to hold.
Yet the monarch's mood was not wholly
one of sentiment. Jeat mingled in his
thoughts and he bade the realm be merry.
"Plnce we are to be children, let us be
hr., , y rhildren," ho ordained. "It la not
the royal pleasure that any one arrow too
solemn at thla gala hour. This ts a tri
umphal entry, not a funeral procession.
I've got the county coroner in my retinue,
'tis true, but let It be understood that he's
not here In an official capacity. I wlah
nothing but merry-making this night."
The wish was gratified. The court buf
foon found bimeelf with many competitors,
and laughter was the music of the hour.
Jnit Before the Start.
It began at 6:53, when the castle draw
bridge was lowered and the first float
wheeled out to the hitching crew. His
royal highness had lost bts crown and
could not mount his seat until It waa
found. i
"My diadem! Somebody find my dia
dem!" he commanded. "I'd die a dem poor
death without It."
This was the signal and thereafter word
play ran on unreatrlctrd. A knight of the
enchanted Island asked for a ham sand
wich and the mermaid remarked to the
horsemen: "You fellows go mighty slow.
Remember I'm working tho shell game up
here and lta hard to hold on!" A close
friend of Aladdin begged for a cigar, ex
plaining that be could "get a light from
Al," and sweet little Red Riding Hood was
smoking a cigarette, serene In tbe knowl
edge that the eld wolf had ao arranged
mattera that her grandmother couldn't
possibly smell the smoks.
In order to have a amooth, clear path
the floats were sent from the castle, at
Twentieth and Lake, north to Spruce, east
to Nineteenth, aouth to Grace, east to Six
teenth, and then to Cuming. During the
latter part of this Journey the king gave
the ribs of tbe nearest Vpicht a gentle
punch and remarked: "Thv Is, remem
ber, no significance In the fu that they've
got me 'going south' thus early to my
reign."
Waiting on Sixteenth north ot Cuming
were the Ak-Sar-Ben governors, twelve In
number and wearing red caps, red coats
black-braided, white trousers and black
riding boots. Their mounts were blanketed
with the Ak-Sar-Ben colors red, green and
yellow. Elghty-alx of the knights were on
the floats in various costumes, but forty
more, garbed in new silk habits of bril
liant hue and many cuts, were on horaea
as elaborately caparisoned aa the mounts
ot the governors.
At this corner there awaited, also, tho
torch-bearers, four to follow each float and
six for each band. The former were garbed
In red, like the leaders of horses; ths Utter
were In black, monk-Ilk robes. Ths
lighters fell In behind each float aa It ad
vanced to Cuming atreet to make connec
tion with ths trolley wire, and the pageant
waa gotten under way with no confusion,
little delay and few call a tor the property
wagon.
How tho Column Llard I'p.
The current set aglow the last of the line
at 8:36 and thereafter there were no long
halts. Tbe order of arrangement was this:
tiixteen mounted police, under Chief Dona
hue. Covalt a band.
George Green's Beventh ward band.
"Hla Majesty, ths King."
