Who Wrote Rooseve1t,s speeches1


1t appears that our President was
oyerworked and sadly in need of the
two weeks vacation which he got in
Yellowstone Park. He either did not
have time to prepare the speeches
which he knew the western people
would insist that he should make or,
what is more likely. the speeches that
he had prepared were rejected by his
cabinet and the leading RepuF leans of
the Protective Tariff League, at the
conference held in the White House
just before he left on his 60-day tour,
and he had not time to write new
speeches. 1t will be remembered that
at this conference the uitimatum of the
Protective Tariff League was present
ed. 1t said in substance: IF you do
not abandon your tariff reform and tar
iff commission talk. you win not be
the Republican standard bearer in
1904"
The President being no fool in poll
tics and knowing full well the power
of this league, composed of 1000 pro-
tected manufacturers, mostly in great
trusts, who pay yearly dues Of 500
each and many of whom contribute
thousands extra each year, quickly
abandoned the few lingering tariff re-
form ideas which he has cherished
since he resigned from the Free Trade
Club in New York in 1885 when he
deserted the Independent Democrats

who had elected him to the State Leg
islature and when he decided to be
come part and parcel of the Platt ma
chine.
This sudden change of front. al
though it caused great rejoicing in the
high tariff camp, brought on new
crop Of trouble for our strenuous Pres
ident What was he to do? He could
not well give up his trip and disappoint
his thousands of admirers. He would
certainly be expected to make speeches
and it would never do to try to work
over those which had suddenly become
back numbers" The situa ton was
embarrassing in the extreme, when
some of his Republican friends, who
had always been ''stand-patters' on the
tariff, came to his relief. and then and
there rendered him a choice lot of their
old speeches, all approved by the Tar
if League. These were promptly read
and approved and the President was
authorized TO make minor changes in
the verbiage to Undue them somewhat
with his own peculiar individuality.
The President expressed his de
light" at this evidence OF warm polit-
lcal friendship and started on his west
ern trip as happy and light-hearted as
school boy on Christmas vacation.
The following comparison of the
Presidents speech at Minneapolis with
the speech of Secretary of War Root,
at Cooper Union. last October, shows
how faithfully the President kept his
pledge to the Protective Tariff League:

days after the same judge. acting

mits the merger company is legally in
existence by issuing Il decree allow
ing the merger company to pay its div
fdends. This defeat of the Attorney
General and the administration leaves
the matter in statu quo until the case
is decided by the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court should decide
that the merger in effect restraints
trade and confirms the Circuit Court
decision, there would be no relief for
the people, for the merger railroad
stocks will be returned to their orig
inal owners. The only object of the
public in wanting the merger declared
void is to re-establish competition. and
this is impossible, as Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Morgan jointly control the majority of
the stock Of the railroads. and of
course win not enter into competition
with themselves. Competition ended
when they brought the control of the
competing railroads ander one manage
ment. and 10 law can prevent one
man or two men owning stock in two
competing railroads, and now they
own a controlling interest Of both rail
roads, from eeasing 10 compete one
against the other.
If the administration and the Attor-
ney General had expended half the
time and money Of some of the indus
trial trusts that are charging the peo-
pie so exorbitantly for their products,
the result might have been of much
greater value TO the consumers. The
trouble is that the attempt to fight the
trusts is entirely 4 political play, and
not intended as serious demonstra-
ton against them III had been in
tended 10 punish the most obnoxious
and oppressive trusts, the criminal sec
ton Of the antitrust law would long
ago have ceen invoked.
Now the Republican leaders have de-
termined to tG~ow overheard TIE Iowa
idea' ana have agreed to let the trusts
continue their robbery under the pro-
lection granted them by the Dingley
bill, there can be no reliance placed in
their esorts to prevent railroad consoI-
idation.
II the merger suit would result in
lowering the freight and passenger
rates on the railroads 1t would be n
great victory for the people and the
administration would be entitled to the
credit. But no one claims that one
cent Of the exorbitant rates VIII be
taken of or that enc dollar win be
saved to the people, even II the Su-
preme Court confirms the decision oe
the lower court.

Henry Herman, who left Milwaukee
suddenly with his affairs in a hopeless

dreds of thousands of dollars, has been
heard from. He wrote letter to n
friend in the West, who remailed it, so
that it gives no clew TO the writer's pces-
ent Whereabouts, but he is supposed now
to be in South Africa, as he speaks of
being thousands of miles away among
uncivilized people. He acknowledges
that he has wronged sixteen people in
various sums, besides his heavy shortage
in the Plankinton Bank funds, of which
he was assignee. He says he is deter
mined to pay up every dollar he owes and
return rome day TO his old home. He
has already. according to his story, re-
ceived punishment for the wrong he has
done, living in torment every day for
the past year

in the woods near Black river falls. He
was crossing wooded pasture from his

trunks of two trees, His left arm plung-

of the use of his arm, and a desperate

James Moran, ID years old, was found
unconscious in the rear Of Harris hotel
at Milwaukee. Efforts of the physicians
at the emergency hospital failed to re-

the body, but it is believed that chloro-
form may have been used upon Moran
before he was robbed.

InconaIstency Of the Law.

What we call the law sometimes
vexes us with apparent strange incon-
sistencies. When the judges of the
Eighth Circuit Court OF the United
States decided the merger case it was
generally considered that the railroads
involved would have to abide by that
decision. unless it was reversed by the
Supreme Court. The railroad attorn-
eys, however. applied to Judge San
born, who was one Of the judges of
the Circuit Court that rendered the de
cision, asking a modification of the
judgment, and he granted it. notwith-
standing the protest of the Attorney
General of the United States and the
District Attorney. Thus we see the
extraordinary judicial spectacle of a
judge sitting en- banc and deciding
with the other judges that a corpora
