must owe his success. There never has
been devised. and there never will be de-

succeed save by the exercise OF those quail
ties which have always been the prerequi-
sites Of SUGGESTIVE qualities Of hard work.

OF the state can do no more than secure 20

MISUNDERSTANDING OF Details the
First step Toward Averting the
Present Evils.

Providence, II. l., Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt defined his position on
the trust question before $4,000 per-
sons in this city Saturday, after hav-
ing made a triumphal journey from
Hartford, Conn. by trusts he ex-
planned that he meant the great COM
binatioDs that engage in business in
various states and are in the nature
of monopolies. Such combinations, he
said, should be under the control of
the general government. If the laws
were insufficient new ones should be
made. IL it was impossible to make
laws to control the combinations then
the constitution of the nation should
be changed so as to enable the enact
ing of the necessary laws.
BibIIcity the First step.
Publicity of detail of business of
Industrial combinations, the presi-
dent said, would be the first step
toward averting the present evils.
Too much must not be expected at
once, declared Mr.. Roosevelt, but
common sense by individuals as well
as the nation gradually will do away
with most of the causes for com
plant.
Industrial combines, according to
the president, are not to be denounced
as all bad. They are inevitable, neces-
sary and beneficial, if they do not
abuse their rights. They are re-
suit Of the general advance in civil
ization and cannot be dispensed with.
Calm Judgment Necessary.
The president denied that the poor
people were becoming poorer, but he
said some of the rich were getting 10
be so very wealthy that the amass-
ing of wealth stood out more plainly
than in the earlier days Of the ma
ton. lie severely criticised those who
rail at corporations or wealthy men
merely from motives Of envy. Calm
Judgment, devoid OF rancor, was
necessary in settling the trust ques-
ton, the whole solution of which he
could not yet fathom. He wanted the
people TO aid the president and con-
gress in the efforts being made to
that end. When all had been done
that lew could do there would still
remain the necessity for character
and fair dealing among individuals
before the country would be rid OF
the danger of the trust evil.
