Atlanta. Ga, Oct. 20.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived here from

clear, but soon after sunrise heavy
clouds overcast the sky, presaging rain.
The thousands OF residents OF Atlanta
were multiplied by throngs q sight
seers from the surrounding country
and neighboring states. who arrived
early. Everywhere along the line OF
parade, which was three miles IN
length, the decorations were plentiful
many bearing notices Of praise and
com,nendation Of the city's distinguish
ed guest.
The presidential train rolled into the
the terr1inal station exactly on time
and as it was sighted every steam
whistle In the city blew a noisy vel
come. Waiting on the station platform
was the reception committee, headed
~ Governor Terrell, Senator Clay,
Congressman Livingston. Mayor Wood
ward and Bishop Nelson. To greet
AIre. Roosevelt was small committee

the governor, and Mrs. CLARK Howell.
Governor Hayward, OF South Carolina,
guest Of Governor Terrell, was made

on reception. Mrs. Roosevelt and her
escort departed almost Immediately
for the governors mansion, where they
5,yere greeted by q reception committee
lF q hundred society ladies and witt
,aess,ed tine parade from that point OF
vantage. The line Of march was
quickly formed and the president and
his escort started for Piedmont park
,1iar1uugh streets crowded with cheering

His words were received with the clos
est attention by 10000 people, who
surrounded him. Luncheon was serv-
+ ed at Piedmont club mouse, after which
q reception was held, followed by a
drive to q number of interesting points.
The president after discussing the
frnportance Of the cotton industry In
the south took up the question Of our
relations with China, saying:
Regulating Corporations.
eJyndoubtedly there is need OF regu-
1ation by the government, In the inter-
est OF the public, of these great cor,
porations which In modern life have
tshown themselves to be the most efft-
cie.nt BUSINESS implements, and which
a-a. therefore, the implements COM
monty employed by the owners OF
large fortunes The corporation Is the
cr.a ture of the state. It should always
be held accountable, to some sovereign,
and this accountability should be real
ard not sham. Therefore. in my jidg-
ment. all corporations doing an inter
state business, and this means the
great majority OF the largest corpora
tions, should he held accountable to
the federal government, because their
accountability should be co-extenstve
with their field of action. But most
certainly we should not strive to pre-
VDsyk or limit corporate activity. We
should strive to secure such effective
supervision over it, such power Of reg
uNation over II, as to enable us to guar
antee that it's activity will be exercised
only IN ways beneficial to the public.
The unwisdom Of any well meaning
but misguided effort to check corpor-
ate activity has been shown in striking
fashion In recent years by our expert
ence in the philippines and in Porto
Rico. Our national legislators very
properly determined that the islands
should not be exploited by adventur-
ers without regard to the interests OF
the people OF the islands themselves
But unfortunately in their zeal to pre-
vent the islands from being improp-
erly exploited they took measures OF
such severity as to seriously, and in
some respects vitality, to hamper and
reaard the development of the islands
There Is nothing that the islands need
more than to have their great natural
resources developed, and these re-
sources can be developed only by the
abundant use OF capital, which, of
course, will not be put into them un-
less on terms sufficiently advantageous
10 offer prospects Of good remunera-
tlon. We have made the terms not
raerely hard, but often prohibitory,
with the result that American capital
goes into foreign countries like Mex
leo. and il there used with immense
advantage to the country in its devel-
opments, while 1t can not go into our
own possessions or be used to develop
the lands under our own nag. The chief
sufferers by this state Of things are the
people OF the islands themselves.
ut is impossible too strongly to In
stst upon what ought to be the patent
fact that Il is not only IN the interest
0e H. people ok wealth themselves, but
