SAYS TRUSTS ARE
BLESSING TO NATION.
Republican Representative Cal
derhead, of Kansas, Makes 4
a Remarkable Cam
paign Speech.
DENOUyCES ORGANIZED LABOR.


Topeka, Kan, Sept. Pin re-
markabie political speech ". A.
Calderhead, Republican Representa-
tive from the Fifth Kansas District,
defended the trusts, which he charac-
terized as ''godsends to the coun-
try" and denounced organized labor
as "the greatest menace the country
ever had"
His remarks have caused a sensa-
ton, as Mr. Calderhead is a promi-
nent member of the Committee on
Banks and Banking in the lower>
house and has been regarded as a
con sentative. He said in part:
"Why all this fuss about the trusts?
Speaker Henderson has resigned, be-
cause some Republicans insist on
tariff revision as a panacea for the
ina ginary ills which the trusts are
supposed to represent Why seek to
remedy that which has been Il bless
ing?
II deny that the trusts constitute
an evil. | contend that they have

remedy or disturb them? have no
sy mpathy or patience with this fuss
about the trusts. | care not II it

party. lconsider it all political bun
combe.

They have reduced the cost OF living.
They have furnished employment for
labor. They hav- promoted science
and encouraged invention.
"Instead OF attempting to remedy
or suppress or control or disturb
that which we know is blessing we
should turn our attention to that
which is known To be an evil and
take a hand at suppressing organic
ed labor.
Il regard organized labor as the
greatest menace this country has to-
day. 1t not only robs it's members
of their liberty, but is a constant
menace to the lives and property OF
the whole people. 1t is the cause Of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington Sept. 29.-Last week
was an eventful one in republican cir
cles. The return of the President from
Indianapolis, Immediately followed by
that of Secretaries Shaw and Wilson,
and the cancellation OF certain dates
for public speeches by Secretary Root,
was peculiarly significant. While there
is no question but the injury from
which the President was suffering was
serious, it is equally true that great
relief was manifested by the republican
leaders, at his return to the Capital
and it was in compliance with wishes
that his cabinet. officers followed suit.
The great interest manifested by the
people in economic questions was not
considered to augur we'll for the party.
If the republicans have majority in
both branches of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress, legislation radically curtailing
the power and the profits Of the trusts
will be expected Of them and this ex-
pectation Mr.. Roosevelt was encourag-
ing. That such legislation will not be
forthcoming the republican leaders
well known and they fear that there
will be revulsion of feeling If the peo-
pie are disappointed, which will mean

Mrs. Nation at Yale.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Kansas
hatchet fame. visited Y ale college
Monday and attempted to address the
1000 students, but the wielder OF the
Ratchet found the work as strenuous
as that of Kansas. Through an hour
filled with side-splitting comedy she
stood on the steps of Osborn Hall and
talked of prohibition and kindred sub
jects to cigarette and pipe smoking
assemblage. She singled out indy
uals and made them the butt OF her
remarks.
Occasionally an impromptu glee
club sang tropical songs about her,
compelling her to stand quiet and lie.
ten. Finally she was almost rushed to
her hotel by crowd so dense that the
street cars stopped and the service of
policemen were needed to escort her.
Students shook hands with her, right
and left, by hundreds. On the way
she snatched cigarette from the lips
of q student. Once on the steps of the
hotel she turned and threw kisses at
the crowd. Her talk was like her usual
harangues. She began:
Last Spring the Jolly Eight OF
Yale wrote and invited me to come.
They neither smoke nor drink. learn
today that they have increased to 49,
the students broke in with the song
you're Only Pooling, and later SANG
Good Morning, Carrie" She waited
her turn and said:
"I'm not a dream, but substantially
1913 pounds.
Referring to confirmed drunkards
she said: IF l can't rescue old hogs
let g save the young pigs like you boys.
The students sang, I've been drunk
six months, show me the way home"
"But you are on the way to" sht
replied, land l wish l had my hatche
here now"
When she told of her Jail experience
the students broke in with "Ain't da
a shame Pr She sighed: Yes, indeed
they did keep your honey out In d.
cold.'' They bawled out: "Give US ,
drink, bartender and went through
| the repertoire of college drinking songs
to each of which she made some per
tinent reply.
Much OF her talk was too pointed t.
| print, and the students told her tina
she was naughty to say such things.
