He is AN OPTIMIS7
Andrew Carnegie Speaks in
Cheerful Vein at Dedication
in Massachusetts.
SEES GOOD ALL ABOUT HIM
Declares Those Who Work for Others
Good Are the Only Real
Aristocrats.

Northampton. Mass, April 13.-"The
alliance of birth and wealth is being
displaced in our day by what a man
knows. But this is not the final step.
The future question will be, how q
man serves his fellow men"
So declared Andrew Carnegie in his
address at the dedication of Carnegie
house, the latest addition to the group
of buildings known as the Home Cul-
ture club of this city. and toward
which building Mr.. Carnegie contrib
uted the sum of $4,000. He contin-
ued:
This Real AristOcrncS.
Here is the true. final aristocracy
which never can be displaced-not
what a man does for himself, but what
he does for others, will be the standard
by which a man shall be judged;
wherein has he sacrificed himself?
Wherein he has benefited others?
Toward this ideal l think we are
marching more directly in America
than in any other land; first, because
we have less distance to march and
fewer obstacles to overcome in that
march than older lands. Our forefath-
ers established in this country a gov
ernment of the people where any
mans privilege is every mans right.
IL declared not for the royalty of this
or that family, but it knew and dared
to declare in Burns celebrated words,
the royalty of man

1T is upon this platform that we all
l.;
ident. being in the largest and deepest
sense beyond all other men the great
est servant of his fellows in this glor
ious democracy. Starting from this
plane good roads lead direct to every
thing that tends to bring about the
brotherhood of man, the establishment
OF the true ideal-that of character
service, the test of mans position
among us being the performance Of his
duties as a citizen"

RAILWAYS ROOT OF MONOPOLY EVIL

being represented by one or more of
ficials.
Comes From the East to Speak.
Commissioner Prouty came from New
England to take hand in the discus
sion.
"As the president declared in his
message said Mr.. PrOuty, there is
no more imjortant subject before the
American people today than this, and
there is unanimity of belief that there
should be by railways no sort of dis
elimination between shippers.
In the past the discrimination has
been mostly worked by the payment of
the rebate, and the fat of the Ameri-
can people has gone forth that the re-
bate shall stop. The public demands
il. The interests of the railway equally
demand it. The Injunction and the Ell
kins bill have gone a great way toward
accomplishing it already. There must
be amendment TO the law. You must
include the private car. You must in
clude the terminal railroads. You
must include the elevator.
Says New Tribunal IL Needed
4 think you have got to provide
some sort of a tribunal other than the
interstate commerce commission to en-
force the law. l have sometimes
thought it might be necessary TO ap
point on the part of the government
the official who receives and disburses
the money for the railways. / believe
it to &c absolutely necessary that the
books of account kept by the railroads
shall be subject to public inspection
All that, my friends, is possible"

Kept Two Sets of Books.
The discovery Of the casing COmbi-
nation was the unearthing of the clear

after it became known that the Ma
tional Packing company was formed
for such a purpose. 1t was an import
ant discovery and will have bearing
on the case far greater than is gencr-

kept two sets of books has already
been amply demonstrated by the seiz-
ure of a second set by the secret ser

and expect results.

feasible to construct either a tide level
or lock canal. though he himself
strongly favored the tide level project.
He said the entire Panama road would
be double tracked and supplied with
