Governor Fort of New Jersey aroused a great deal of enthusiasm with a speech In which he denounced the criticism of an executive on the ground that he would be held responsive for legislation "and every thing else."

His Jest in referring to Mr. Uryan as the "Beerless" leader was several times called up during the evening. fcbrrhart for loniiuiulan. Governor Kberhart was guest and prin cipal speaker. His remarks dealt chiefly with the tariff question, In an argument that It was an utter impossibility for any body of legislators In a three months' session to revise a bill containing a.Oid upon a slashing of its rates and a curtail ing of the revenue from It. "The country was never more prosperous than It is at this time," be said. "It Is the republican party that has accomplished the gains for the country. The nation Is the foremost one on earth. It is respected, feared and emulated by all the other na tions of the globe. The republican party has made It so." Touching upon the question of the pro posed Initiative and referendum plank for the democratic forces' of the state, Mr Webster declared the liquor question was not a political one. "The liquor subject is properly of no con cern to the president, the party, to con gress nor to state government. It Is a police question purely. It should no more be incorporated in a doctrine of a party than a plank providing for the eradication of typhoid fever." Spirit of Victory. Victor Rosewater, In a brief address, mentioned the successes of republican ad ministrations In Omaha. He Jocularly in formed the gueat of honor that though the latter had seen a democratic mayor In office on his previous visit here twenty ytars ago and was seated near another one on this occasion, the Intervening twenty years had been terms of republican officials. The speaker then remarked that iho spirit of lctory was present In the N J. Richardson of Washington, accom panied him. President Taft returned to Washington today. Situation In C'onarress. The president said: "Vou have been doubtless advised by your newspapers that there Is certain legisla tion pending In congress In which the ad ministration has a very intense Interest, growing out of the fact that It was promised by the platform of the republican party and has been recommended by the president to congress and I feel as if it might not be without some use for m to say what the condition of the legislation Is and what the prospect Is of its passage. "In the first place, the bill granting state hood to New Mexico and Arizona passed the house some months ago, but It Is still pending In the senate. Objection was made to the bill as It passed the house In regard to certain provisions as to elections which disfranchised Mexicans not speaking Eng lish, who had theretofore by reason of length of residence, acquired under previous laws the right of suffrage. There Is some difference, too, between the houses as to the provisions made In respect to the public lands and the payments of the debts of th territories. "There Is a hesitation oh the part of the republicans In the senate to pass a bill which Is so likely to add four democrats to the senate, or If not democrats, republi cans of that radical type that are entirely out of sympathy with the more conserva tive notions of the east. ' Still there Is a promise in the platform, distinct and clear, that this bill shall pass and I am very anxious that the party shall meet Its ob ligations in this regard, and enact the nec essary legislation. I do not think that I shall be disappointed. against private oneis. the Lnited Slates may enforct the conditions against the slate and forfeit all the rights of the pil- ate owner and of the state and restore the land to the I'nlted States. There ought to be a specific provision providing thai the I'nlted states may sue the siste for forfeiture and also that the executive shall have the tight to declare a forfeiture. "It seems to me that in this wise the t'ntted Plates may retain effective control over the disposition of the land and at the same time enable the legislature or the executive of the state, presumably more familiar with local conditions, to fix the details on the ground In accordance with local necessity. It Is quite possible, how ever, that these other conservation bills will go over to the next session, but the one ratifying the existing withdrawals and granting power to withdrawing In future should certainly pass. Irrigation rian. "There Is ponding also a bill authorizing the Issue of $10,000,000 of bonds with which to continue the construction of irrigation plants already begun by the reclamation service, the bonds to be redeemed out of the proceeds of the sale of public lands and ths water rent collected from those who enjoy the benefit of the Irrigation This certainly ought to pass at this ses slon because the number of people depend Ing on the completion of the reclamation projects Is sufficiently .large to call for especial action In their -behalf. "Another act Is the so called 'Injunction act.' There are three bills ponding carry out the platform. In different forms they all provide that an injunction Issued without notice shall not be of effect for more than seven days, unless within that time actual notice Is given and a hearing had, when, of course, the court will make such order as It may be advised. "It further provides that no restraining ord.r or a preliminary Injunction shall Issue without notice, unless the court, upon evidence adduced before It, shall make a finding either on the minutes of the court or ' upon the back of the injunction order defining what the Irreparable Injury la which Is to be enjoined and staling why there Is not time enough In which to issue notice for a heating with ths parties present.

No Itlfta in Hanks. Charles O. Whedon outlined an argument for party solidarity, contending that what ever differences of opinion might be enter tained by individuals, the tariff law and olhr undertakings of the party were es sentially right. "The party should work hand in hand," he declared. "There should be no rifts In the ranks at tlrms of action. I believe In the right to criticise. I also believe with all Its apparent grounds for scrutiny and criiicism the tariff law Is the best that could be evolved. It will be an 1U6 at the coming election, November 7, and It should be upheld by the united force of the party that brought It Into be ins'." C. H. Aidtich of David City gave his at tention to affairs of the state. He scath ingly attacked W. J. Bryan's call for a special session of the stale legislature. "The republican party never had to call an extra session to tamper and tinker with any broken parts In lis platform," he said He pointed out that an expenditure of 1100,000 Is promised as an added burden on the state In the possibility of the extra: session. Other speakers of ihe evening were State Treasurer L. U. Brian. Colonel ' William llayward and Charles Sloan. provision for a commission of experts to give future development to the bill will work as the only possible solution of tariff troubles. "There is a condition of activity in the governing forces of the country at this time that promises great advancement," declared Governor Kberhart. "Malefactors are be ing hunted out and punished. Grafters are being driven from power and a welcome pi OKI ess Is being made toward purity ol govsj nintnt lu every respect. At no time in the history of the country was there less graft than at present. Never before wire grafters so vigorously prosecuted and punished as at present." So Urvuud fur Dissension. From thai point tho speaker proceeded tt bhow thai the political unrest attendant upon the routing out of ills iu government offers no ground for dissension in tile party. If the tariff bills was not what the people had expected in certain respects, he said, the fsct u'lly served as a further Im petus to the party to uphold its representa tives and work fur further advancement of its vvatiia. "Is there any reason why, because Items in the tariff bill prove diatasteful in cer tain localities affected, the task of Us re vision should be placed in the hands of a party that has made utter and complete failure of handling it In the past?" he asked. The governor then cited the example of the Cleveland administration in foisting upon the country a tariff bill which had been prejudged a fuilure. Concerning tiie policy of the administra tion. Governor Kberhart declared that It Is a republican principle to deal with bust nets corporations solely upon the question of their merits and thoroughly without re gard fur their size. "iieeame a corporation is big," he de clared, "is no reason why It should be at tacked. It a business institution pursues fair, open methods toward its competitors and the public, It should be given fair play no matter how large or how small it may be. If It conspires to defraud or tu tliroitle competition and. to boost prices It should be curbed and punished no matter how big nor how small." "But utter all," declared the speaker, "good or bad government depends upon the man. Send big-minded, strong-hearted, good and clean men Into the seats of legis lation and government and you will ha v. I good government. It la not merely a qusj. tion or party polity or the achievements of the past." Webster I pholila West. In his address on phases of the tarlft bill. John U Webster of Omaha, declared faith In the present congressional body. "I can not criticise the tariff bill," he said, "be cause I believe the Judgment of a con gress of men Is better than that of one." He remarked, however, that a gagging of the opinions of congressmen themselves fhould not be tolerated. "Isn't the vote Of!

I j ' Conservation Bills. "The conservation bills with reference to the public domain, by which the govern ment shall retain over the undisposed lands a power of disposition or readjustment of Interest in waterpower sites, coal lands, oil lands and phosphates, are not In a very advanced state. The conditions are such as to make Imperative. In the Interest of conservation, the passage of only one law. "That law has passed the house and I am very hopeful that it will pass the senste. It ratifies all the withdrawals Of public land heretofore made, amounting to up, wards of tO.OOO acres, and it specifically em powers the president to make other with drawals when he desires to ask congress to pass laws varying the existing laws for the disposition In class of public lands. "The absolute necessity of this act arises from the very grave doubt whether the reservation of 60,000.000 acres It subjected to the test of legality in the courts could stand it. "It Is a very grave question whether the executive has the power to make reserve tlona thus, merely to avoid the disposition of the land under existing congressional enactment, and there are those in the west who. taking the advantage of doubt In the question and asaum ng that the withdrawals sre without authority, are standing out claims with a view of testing their validity in the courts. "Should the courts hold that the execu tive authority has been abused In this re gard, then It will leave the public, domain In a mess. For this reason, I sincerely hope the status quo will be maintained by the speedy passage of the act In question thiough the senate. Water rower nad Coal. "There are other acts one with reference to oil lands; one with reference to water power sites; one with reference to coal. The one with reference to coal land pro vldes that the surface of coal lands shall be subject to settlement as agricultural lands to the homestead and preemption laws, but that the coal beneath shall still belong to the government and be subject to mining by and to whom the government may lease It or in other methods part with title to it. "There Is a bill providing for the classifi cation of lands useful In preventing a fraudulent disposition of them. "There Is a bill providing for the explora tion of oil lands and fixing the rights of explorers who discover oil; and then there Is a bill providing for the granting of water power sites to the states, with a view to their disposition to private owners by the states. "This bill is a most important one. it probably needs amendment, but the people of the bill may work out to a satisfactory solution. "The wster In the streams, Is now under the control and ownership of the state. Combine Sites. "The water power sites essential lo the establishment of water power plants be long to the Vnltsd States as part of Its public domain. It would be useful to have the two united In one sovereignty. H Is proposed to do this by conveying the ater power sites to the slates on two conditions. The first condition requires the slate In Its disposition to private settlers to retain such control over the water power sites that It may every ten years adjust the rates at which power la to be furnished to the pub lic by the grantee of the water power site; and the second condition is that the watei power sites shall not be disposed of by the state to any person having a monopoly of the water power In the neighborhoou. The bill provides that on the failure 01 ! tht gtats tu tnforc the conditions imposed tries Precaution. "It I very clear that by these two pro visions attention o.' the court will be called to the necessity for great care In the ex el else of this very exceptional power to affect parties to a lawsuit without giving them notice and that the lll-advlsfd Issuing of Injunctions of this character will cease. "The Manufacturers' association Is op posed to the bill on the ground that It weakens the power of ths court, while the Federation of Labor Is opposed to it on the ground that It does not go far enough. With this state of the case I am reason ably certain that the bill Is a Just one and ought to be put through. I am hopeful that some way will be found to vote through the bill promised by the platform nothing more and nothing less. The postal savings bank bill Is pending in the house, It having passed the senate. I am hopeful because the republican party Is firmly committed to the Introduc tion of postal savings depositories thai we shall secure at this session of congress a sate and sane law which will offer small depositors absolute security and con venience and at the same time improve, and not impair, the credit of the govern ment and the Integrity of our fiscal sys tem. 'The publicity of expenditure bill was not recommended in the republican platform but I ventured to say In my speech of ac ceptance that I should recommend the pas sage of such a bill with the full confidence that It would meet the approval of con gress. I am glad to aay that the bill has passed th house. Interstate Commerce. "Finally we come to the bill amending the Interstate commerce law. The bill is pending in both houses. It has been amended in the house and also in the sen ate and with that freedom of touch for which headllners and correspondents are so noted, we have been told with much em phasis that the administration bill ha been emasculated In both houses. I am not as familiar with Its condition In the house as I am with It In the senate, but I think possibly the state of the bill In the sen ate will show what Is the fact, that the bill has not been emasculated In either house and that It contains almost all of the remedial features of the original adminis tration bill and '.hat those things which have been omitted are neither substsntla) nor vital. "In the first place the bill contains a series of sections containing a commerce court which Is to absorb all the Jurisdiction now had by the circuit and district courts on review by Injunction, suit or otherwise, of the proceedings of the Interstate com merce commission. "The advantage of th court 1 that we shall have a court of experts at Washing ton very familiar with the whole business of Interstate commerce and the decisions affecting it and which will be able to dis pose of the business before It promptly snd give efficacy to the orders of the Inter state Commerce commission that are legal The whole object of the court Is expedition, and the whole defect of the interstate com merce procedure heretofore has been delay. I regard the commerce court a practically the most important feature In the bill. "Thus far It has remained In the house, although by a close vote, and it has not been stricken out In the senate. Attorney Genernl'a Tart. "Another feature of the bill Is to give the attorney general complete control over the litigation after It has left the Inter state Commerce commission and gets Into court. Heretofore th Interstate Commerce commission Itself has controlled the liti gation In the courts and it presented the anomaly of a quasi Judicial tribunal suing In Its own behalf to confjrm its own Judg ments. It was thought to give this to the Department of Justice, but amendments have been Introduced by which shippers, who have an interest may e heard by special counsel If they desire, under regu lations of the court. "Another regulation requires companies, by their agents to furnish a statement in writing of the rrle or charge applicable to a described shipment, between stated places under schedules .or tariffs to which such company is a party or a penalty for fal'-ui. "The other provisions authorised the commission not only to review rates, but the classification of freight and enable trfe commission of Its own motion to Investi gate the question, whether any rate Is un just or unreasonable, or unjustly discrimi natory, or unduly preferential, or preju dicial, or otherwise In violation of any of the previsions of ti e act. Routes for fblppers. "Another provision requires the commis sion to establish through routes and Joint rates and to do this upon complaint or upon its own Initiative and It is given tj the shippers to select among those routes thus established the rout which they prefer. "There are also provision for reorgan isation and merger which contain similar limitations, as to the Issue of stock and bonds. The features that 1 have detailed remain In th bill.
