cial advices Of the establishment of a Gus

has aroused considerable interest here, in
view of the fact that 1t will very mate
rally diminish the hypothecated customs
revenues Of La Guaira, Just as the port OF
Porto Cabello was affected in less degree

will be still further iessened by the ex-
pected opening of an adjacent custom
house at ocumare de la Costa. Thirty per
cent Of the customs revenue of the ports
of La Guaira and Porto Cabello is pledged
to the creditor nations of Venezuela.
The customs port of Carenero is the CEN
ter Of a famous cocoa growing district, the
product of which has hitherto been export
way OF La Guaira. Shipments hereafter
will be made directly from the newly
opened port, thereby seriously affecting the
commercial interests of La Guaira. the
present emporium of the country. Imports
also will be largely made by way OF the
lions at La Guaira will be injured by the
change. Six other custom houses have
been established by executive decree with

Americans a Great People.
For veal or for woe. and whether we
like 1t or not, we are a great people. we
have taken our position among the great
peoples Of the earth We cannot decide
whether or not we are to play a great part.
Providence has decided that for US. All
we can decide is whether we will play 1t
we'll or badly, and I know my countrymen
too well to doubt what their decision will
be-"
At New Milford, Conn.,. the President ap-
peared on the platform. and, after shaking
hands with the people assembled, made
short address. He spoke of the necessity
OF having a strong navy and said that
while a strong power should not impose
upon a weaker one, it in turn should not
be imposed upon.
Former Controller Nicholas Staub called
for three cheers for the President, which
were given with will. AS the train moved
away the President waved his hand, say
ing:
Goodbye. my friends and good luck to
YOU"
An incident Of President Roosevelt's stop
at South Norwalk. Conn.,, where he briefly
addressed some 5000 people at 6 O'Clock
last night, was his alarm for the safety of
the crowd that had gathered about the rear
Of the train when 1t began to slowly back
from siding. Look out! Look out!' he
shouted to those close to the platform,
where he stood, some of whom he was
obliged to push back with his hands to pre-
vent them being run over. A moment later
the train pulled out, and the President was
given a rousing cheer.

Supervision of Trusts.

Another question of which / wish to
speak is that of closer supervision by the
government of great Industrial combina-
lions: for, of course. wealth at present finds
its expression through these great Industrial
combinations. 1 think that 1t has been q
great mistake to act on the theory which
has shaped most of our legislation, national
and state. for the last thirty years. that 1t
is possible to turn back the hands of the
clock. to forbid combinations, and to re-
store business according to and under con-
ditfons which have absolutely passed away
That cannot be done. What we can have
done is to put an efficient supervision over
the owners Of the combinations so as to see
as far AS possible that they are employed In
the interest of and not against the interest
OF the general public.
81 do not believe that such supervision
that 1t can effectively come through tn mu-
that 1t can ffectively come through the mu-
Incipality, but ultimately in the great ma.
jority OF cases to be effective 1t must be
exercised by the, national government. /
trust that in the end means will be found
by which tho exercise Of such control over
all the great Industrial corporations, which
are really engaged in and doing an inter-
state business. viii be lodged in the hands
of the national government. As the first
step to that hope to see the passage of
legislation which will give, as an executive
not as a judicial function, to the national
government the supervision or the railroads
of the United States which are engaged In
Interstate commerce. with the power when

Just, to examine that rate and, IL they

rate take practically immediate effect, Now.
am perfectly well aware that there are OBJ
jections to the proposed change. In my
judgment they are infinitely outweighed by
the objections attendant upon not making

Nation Must Not Try to Bluff.

I'm order to take such position Of being
a great nation, the one thing we must not
do Is to bluff. 1t is perfectly defensible, al
though / think perfectly proper to say we
will not try to be big nation, will not try
to play the part of a big nation, or act as
such In the world. But the objectionable
thing is to say we will act as a big nation
and then decline to take all steps to act as
a big nation at all. Therefore, gentlemen.
see to 1t that the navy Is built up, and kept
built up to the highest point of efficiency
l ask that not In the interest of war, but
as a guarantee Of peace. / believe In the
Monroe doctrine; l believe In the building
and maintaining an open highway for
the nations OF mankind the Panama canal
had great deal rather see this country
abandon the Monroe doctrine, and give up
all thought Of building the Panama canal.
than see 1t attempt to maintain the one and
construct the other and refuse to provide
for itself the means which can alone render
Its attitude as nation worthy of the re-
spect of the other nations of mankind.
Keep on building and maintaining at the
highest point of efficiency the United States
navy. or quit trying to be a big nation. Do

were also made for double tracking and

required in connection with the track
of additional tracks. and the increase
of yard, shop, and other terminal ia
cilities. The Ohio Connecting Railway.
which furnishes the main highway for
