Not Cure All Evils.

Not Cure All Evils.
Now M clearly In your minds tvo
facts at the outset. As with every.
thin. else mundane when you get that
supervisory and regulatory power on
behalf Of the nation you will not have
cured all tho evils that existed. and
you will not equal the expectations OF
the nmiabi- hut ill'rcsula;cd "nthusI'
nst who thinks that you will have
cured all those evils. A measure OF
good will come. some GOOD will be
done. some Injustice will have been
prevented. but wc shall be long way
from the millennium. Get that fact
clear In your minds or you will be lay.

That Ia the first thing.
Now tho second aud even the more
important: when you give nation
that power remember that harm and
not good will come from the giving u

yourselves but to do Justice to others:

we cannot afford In any shape or
way In this country TO encourage
feeling which would do Injustice to u
man OF property any more than We
would submit to injustice from man
of property. Whether the man owns
the biggest railroad or the greatest
outside corporation in the land. or
whether he makes each days bread by
the sweat OF that days toll. he Is on.
titled to justice and fair dealing. to no
more and to no less. tChecrs and ap-
plausc.J a spirit Of envy on the part
of those less well of against the better

spirit Of arrogant disregard for the
rights Of the man OF small means on the
part Of the man of large means. The
arrogance and the envy arc not two diff.
fcrent qualities. they are the same
quality shown by men under different
circumstances.
Would Bring Harm.
1--WE must make up our minds that
nothing but harm will come from any
scheme TO exercise such supervision as
that advocate over corporations. and
especially the common carriers. TN
less we have II clearly fixed in our
minds that the scheme Is TO be one of
substantial Justice alike to the COM

ferring those powers upon some execu'
tive body. 1t cannot confer them upon
any court. nor Can It take away the
courts power TO interfere II the law is
administered in way that amounts TO
conliscation OF property.

The Private Car Question.

81 cannot attempt to speak In detail
Of all that should be put into the Law
AZ | hope Il will be enacted nj the next
session Of the national Congress. Not
only should this power OF rates go In.
but In my belief We should nj the same
tImc deal with the private car ques-
tIon. which MS regards certain indus
tries offers an even greater menace
than Is offered by the present system
OF fixing rates.
Il do not think that the law will
have TO deal with many subjects. but
! do feel that with the two have men
toned and with perhaps one or two
others IL should deal effectively. There
will he the argument made on the
other side, doubtless the arsument be-
Ing made In their own minds by Ger.
tain os my hearers. that such power In
liable to abuse. OF course II Is. The
power Of taxation ih liable TO grave
abuse. and yet Il must exist. In the
appropriate legislative body you cannot
Sc; any needed power given TO the rop'
rcEcntatiycs Of the people ~!thou, ca'
posing yourselves to the danger Of that
power being abused. There must be
the possibility OF abuse or there can
not be- the possibility OF effective
use"
The address was received with
hearty and long continued applause.

The Great Corporations.


The Great Corporations.
"Of course II would bo possible to
come much short of such contiscation
and yet do great damage. perhaps ir-
reparable damage to abe great corpora
tlons engaged In interstate commerce.
We must remember always that most
OF the men who are responsible for the
management OF these great corpora
tions. and who have proiited thereby
have made their fortunes not as incl
dental to damaging but to beneft!ng
the community as a whole. We must
DO careful that nothing Is done that
would jeopardize their industries as
that would therefore work harm OF
tho most farreaching kind not only to
all from the humblest TO the highest
engaged In these industries. but TO the
business community rs "A whole. We
must be careful to sc that the law Is
administered with sanity aud conser-
yat!sm.
But the power must exist. In my
judgment. II Justice Is TO be done as
between the public and the common
carrier. In some governmental eNecu-
tive tribunal. not only to flx rates and
alter them when they are convinced
that existing rates do injustice. but TO
see that the rate thus fixed goes into
effect practically at once. That Is I'M

certain industries. and II is important
TO certain communities. do not In
the least ascrlbe IL To any moral culp-
ability OF the men engaged In handling
these great corporations that they can
not see some OF the bad effects OF Ger
tain things they do. II Is most natural
for u man who Is trying 20 carry on
his business in competition with some
other business to think that whatever
he does that would best his competitor

nunIty at large: and often ! do not
blame him for what he does, but ! In

I EARLY BIRDS IN EVIDENCE
Demand for Camp Lakeview Excursion
I Tickets Decidedly Brisk.

Perfect weather, which promises to
continue indefinitely, combined with the
ever-increasing popularity of Camp
Lakeview and the Journal excursions,
made themselves felt at the Journal
counter yesterday and today when an
almost unprecedentedly large demand
was made for tickets for the limited
Journal excursion to Camp Lakeview.
Friday. The manner in which the tick
ct sale opened indicates that the limit
Of accommodation will be reached be-
fore the usual Eleventh hour contin-
GENT begins to "sit up and take no.
tice.''
Something of the rush for tickets
may be accounted for by the fact that
it is to be an all-day excursion, during
which special Milwaukee train leav-
ing Minneapolis at 9 o'clock will convey
the excursionists.to Hastings and a fine
~ appointed steamboat will carry them
down the Mississippi and Lake Pepin-
aptly described as the Hudson and the
camp of the First regiment.
Because the First regiment is es
sentially a 'shome regimento and Fri
day is the day for it's review by Cover
nor johnson and the regiment IS field
day sports, largee part Of the local
public will want to be on hand. The
trip has been arranged with great care
The Journal Newsboys, band will &C
company the excursionists to further
enliven the occasion, there will be al
appetizing luncheon served, on the boat
at small price, the return trip will be
made by rail and with the present
weather holding the day should be al
excursionist s ideal.

BIG CUT MADE
+. IN GRAIN FEES
COMMISSION TAKES STEPS TO RE-
DUCE SURPLUS.
All-Around Reduction Of Ten Cents a
Car Will Become Effective July l,
and Last for a Year at Least, as Ser
vice Is Intended to Be No More Than
Selfsustaining.

The railroad and warehouse commits
sion announces big reduction in grain
weighing and inspection fees, effective
July l. Under the present fees sur
plus of 100000 has been accumulated
in the fund, and the reduction will
hold until that surplus is relieved. It
will be effective all during the next
crop year at least.
The reduction is horizontal one,
taking 10 cents off each item in" the old
scale, and the new charges will be as
follows:
Ali grain except faxseed: For in
spection ton arrival or into
store,'' for each carload, Is cents; for
inspection "out of store' from ware
houses, Is cents a car to cars, 80 cents
thousand bushels into vessels.

Ton arrival or 1into store,'7 Is
cents; for weighing "out of store"
from warehouses, Is cents a carload to

FATAL SHOOTING
SAYS RIVERS AIMED AT CONNoRs
AND FIRED.
Charles A. Brown, Who Sold Music at
Bijou, Was an Eye Witness to the
Tragedy Revolver and Razor in
Every Colored Minstrel's Outfit, Says
Mr.. Hays.

That colored minstrel mans trav-
cling kit is not complete without a
razor and revolver is one Of the inter
esting sidelights thrown on stage life
by the trial Of James Rivers for the
murder of his fellow performer, Rich
ard Connors, now on before Judge d. F..
Simpson.
Every man in the Williams & Walk
er troupe carried gun and razor, !"
said Theodore Hays, manager of the
Bijou theater. g The great American
game of craps is a common pastime,
and under those conditions it is strange
that there aren It more Killings
After brief opening, in which he
outlined what he intended to prove,
County Attorney AL j. Smith this morn
ing introduced the evidence that may
hang Rivers.
The principal witness was Charles A.
Brown, l5-yearold music seller, who
was an eyewitness Of the tragedy. He
swore that he was going back on the
stage for some sheetmusicwhen he saw
Connors in the hallway. Rivers came
out of his dressing room, raised his
hand in which he held revolver, and
fired. He says that Rivers then stumbled
and dropped the gun but picked it up
quickly and fired the second and fatal
shot. The witness was not ratified
by the cross-examination Of A. H. Hall
attorney for the defendant.
The states case is nearly complete.

NOTHING BUT A BANK
First National s New Building May Not

4 General satisfaction over the action
of the First National bank in taking
the Mcknight corner, at First avenue
IS and Fifth street, for it's new bank
site is expressed by real-estate and
business men. It apparently settles, in
their Judgment, the question Of where
the money center, or ''Wan street, -
of Minneapolis is to be situated per-
manently. p
The bank has not settled all plans as
to its new building, but it is probable
that it's building will be purely a bank
ing structure and not a combined Of
fee building, following the lead Of the
Northwestern National and the Ger.
man American banks.
