GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
COULD MEAN MONARCHY
Of Railway Commissioners Talks
About Railroad Problems.
President

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 15.-Presi-
dent John v. Smith, in his annual adj
dress before the National Association
of Railway Commissioners, which met
here to-day, took strong grounds
against government ownership of rail-
roads, saying that a political party with
the patronage offered by the railroads
and the appointment of over a million
of employees could not only perpetuate
itself in power, but in a few years
could build monarchy. and our boast
ed free institutions would become
a laughing stock of nations. Govern
ment supervision, reasonably and Just
ly administered and not government
ownership, he said. was to his mind,
the solution of the problem of railroad
combinations.

our government to believe that under
proper supervision these combinations
could be made a blessing instead of a
curse to our nation.
1T might also be said with some
degree of truth that if our state and
national leaders in politics would cease
their wild and unmeaning rantings
against railroads, combines and trusts
and turn their attention to serious
and a conscientious study of this ques-
ton along broad and statesmanlike
lines, a remedy would soon be found
that would conserve the interests of
the public and the railroads as well .
Speaking of what he termed the clam

felt that a note of warning should be
sounded and a spirit of conservatism

Held Its 136th Annual Dinner at
DeImonico's.
New York, Nov. 15.-The ones hun
dredth and thirty sixth annual dinner
of the New York Chamber of Commerce
was held tonight at Delmonico's.
The design of the menu was devised
to show by comparison the great
change which has taken place in ma
rine architecture since the Eighteenth
Century. At the top was a represen-
tation of the ship Bristol, chartered for
London Jan. IL, 176S, owned by John
Harms Cruger, a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce. and below it the
steamship st. Louis of the American
line.
The speakers of the evening were
Leslie NJ. Shaw, Secretary of the Treas
ury; the Right Hon. John Morley, M
p, Richard Olney and Sir James Kit
son, NJ. p. Secretary Shaw in his adj
dress said:
THE country has safely passed
through a presidential campaign with
less commercial and financial dstur-
Dances than ever before in our history.
The result was foreseen and discount
ed and Nov. S,-simply verified the ex-
pectation of ALL or nearly all. Money
is now plenty and cheap, crops are
abundant, prices good labor finds
ready employment, furnaces are aglow
and hope is buoyant. If clouds exist
they do not show above the horizon.
Remembering the recent past, our
people are not likely to be seen again
to lose their poise or to assume that the
ascending scale of prices has no limit
or safety. If hopeful conservatism
shall possess the country there is no
visible reason to doubt that we are
approaching a period not of imitation.
but of unequalled growth and sound
and sane and safe development.

Prince Fushimi addressed the Presi-
dent in Japanese, his remarks being in
terpreted by one of his suite. He said
in part:
His imperial majesty was pleased
to confide to me the agreeable duty of
conveying to you, Mr.. President, the
assurance of his sincere good wishes
and friendship and fervent hope for
your continued good health and happi-
ness.
His majesty also charged me to con-
firm to you his earnest desire that the
historic relations of amity and good
correspondence which have always,
since the days of Commodore Perry,
united the great republic of the West
with the empire of the legendary East,
and which have contributed in no
small measure to the progress and
prosperity of Japan, may grow still
closer and stronger with the passing
years"
Response of Roosevelt.
The Presidents response follows, in
part:
Ever since the empire of Japan
at the invitation of this country-en-
tered upon the career of modern and
International progress which has led
to such brilliant results, the relations
of the two countries have been those
Of unbroken friendship. I pray that
those relations may continue forever,
growing always more friendly and
more extended, and l trust that this
visit of your imperial highness may
result in that increase of mutual
good will between this republic and
the empire of Japan, which will nat
urally come from more intimate ac-
quaintanoe and wider knowledge of
each other"
The President and Prince Fushini
then chatted animatedly for ten min
utes. Their conversation was con-
Quoted through an interpreter and re-
lated principally to Japanese history
and literature, with incidental refer
ence to the pending Russo-Japanese
