tives or the pubic, Wherever, as IN bur
own country at the present time business
corporations become so very strong both
for beneticeut work and for work that is
not always benetcent. 1t is idle to say that
there is no need, for such supervision. A
sufficient warrant for 1t is to be found
over and over again in any of the various
evils resulting from the present system or
rather lack of system.
National Government Must Control.
In my judgment this sovereign must be
the national government. When 1t has
been given full power, then this full power
can be used to control any evil influence,
exactly as the government is now using
the power conferred upon it under the
Sherman anti-trust law. Even when the
full power has been conferred 1t would be
highly undesirable to attempt too much,
or to begin by stringent legislation. The
mechanism of modern business is as, deli
cate and complicated as it vast, ard moth
ing would be more productive of evil to
all of us. and, especially to those least we'll
off in this worlds goods, that ignorant
needing with this mechanism ard above
all. If the meddling was, done In q spirit
of class or sectional rarcor. 1t is desirable
that this power should be possessed by the
nation, but 1t Is quite as desirable that
the power should be exercises with moder-
alton and self-restraint. The first exercise
of that power should be the securing of
publicity among all great corporations do
ing an interstate business. The publicity,
though non-irauistorial, should be zealand
thorough to all important facts, with
which the public has concern"
I'm conclusion let me add one word.
While We are not to be excused if we fall
TO do whatever is possible through the
agency of government, we must ever keep
in mind that no action by the government,
no action by any combination among our
selves. can take the place of the Individual
qualities to which in the long run each man
must owe his success. There never has
been devised. ard there never will be de-
vised. any law which will enable a man to
succeed save by the exercise of those uuali-
ties which have always been the prereoui-
sites of success-the qualities of hard work,
of keen intelligence, of unflnching will.
No action by the state in any form can
90 more than supplement the initiative of
the individual, ard ordinarily the action
of the state can do nc more than secure to
each individual the chance TO show. under
as favorable conditions as possible, the

Iowa City MAY Sue the stats.

The state may be made defendant in
an Injunction suit brought by Iowa
City. The litigation, if began. will be
based on the alleged error in the plans
OF Architects Proudfoot and Bird of
Des Moines, whereby the state uni.
versity will encroach upon city prop
erty. 1t is alleged by City Engineer
Mcgowan that one of the college of
medicine buildings will extend into
Jefferson street six and one.half
inches. The trespass is slight but
several aldermen have already pro.
tested, and it was declared at the last
council meeting that the city may en-
join the state from proceeding with
the work. unless the building is moved
back half foot.

housing Reception at Providence.
Providence, r. L., Aug. 25.-Not
since the visit here of President
Hayes Is years ago has a chief OK
ecutive been accorded so brilliant
and thoroughly general reception
as that rendered Saturday to Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the occasion of his
tour through this state. People
came from every part of the state
and gathered $1,000 strong about the
platform at the city hall, from which
the president delivered an address.
An ovation which lasted five min
utes was the presidents greeting
when he rose to speak.
I'VE are passing through a period of
great material prosperity, ard such Il pc

always happens that n few men prosper
greatly, and 1t is as true now as it was
when the Tower of Sloan fell upon all
who were under it. that good fortune does
not come Only to the just, nor bad torture
only to the unjust. When the weather is
good for crops it is also good for weeds.
Moreover, not only do the wicked flourish
when the times are such that most men
flourish, but what is worse, the spirit of
envy and jealousy and hatred springs up
in the breasts of those who though they
may be doing fairly well emseves, yet
see others, who are no more deserving,
doing far better.

then each individual man must achieve
1t for himself, by his own thrift. irtelli-

pose. If when people wax fat they kick,
as they have been prone to do since the
days of Jeshurun, they will speedily de-
stroy their own prosperity. If they go into
wlG speculation and lose their heads, they
have lost that which no legislation can
supply. and the business world will suffer
in consequence. If in a spirit of sullen
envy they insist upon pulling down those
who have protited most by the years of
fairness. they will bury themselves in the
crash of the common disaster. 1t is diff
cult to make our Material condition better
by the best laws, but it is easy enough
by bad laws to throw the whole nation into
