ANSWERS HARRiMAN'S CRITICISM
OF GOVERNMENT REGULA-
TION OF RAILROADS.
FEATURE OF KANSAS CITY BANQUET
MOST INTERESTING EVENT OF
THE OCCASION NOT DOWN
ON THE PROGRAM.

Kansas City, Nov. 21.-The most in
teresting feature of the Commercial
club banquet had not been announced
beforehand, it being Edward II. Har-
riman's criticism of government regu-
lation of railroads and Secretary of
State Roots vigorous reply. Mr.. Har
riman in his address said:
"In mis- speech in Harrisburg recent
executive and legislative departments
of the government should be given ad-
ditional power to deal with public
organizations.
eff we are going to continue TO
prosper the power which President
Roosevelt desires added to the gov
ernment, / hope, will be added to the
other organizations. / hope that some
Of it will come our way"
Here Mr. Hartman paused and turn
I'd to Secretary Root, who sat two
seats rearward.
at often is important to city or
to a country whether we do certain
things, whether we develop a terri
tory" Mr.. Hartman continued, ''or
leave it dormant.
"Often we cannot give development
to state because of the action of GER
tain people for political prestige. l
believe there is to be change Of at
titude which soon is to be felt. The
people are coming to believe in Amer
icanism-and that means fair play
Root Makes Prompt Reply.
Secretary Root accepted Mr.. Har-
riman's challenge promptly and pre-
faced his prepared speech by saying:
Before | begin my talk on the sub
ject which has been assigned to me
| desire to make a few remarks in
answer to Mr.. Hartman. The best
regulation of railroads can be brought
about by the railroads themselves If
they will only do it. Their power,
Mr.. Hartman, should be supplement-
ed by governmental control, such that
would prevent them from doing wrong.
1T is doubtless the case that a rail
road by special compensation or spe-
cial rates can help to build up a big
ger and better business. Nevertheless.
science of government always gives a
chance. The privilege of the railroads
In discriminating in the matter of spe-
cial rates and compensations is too
often abused, as we have seen. ..
1T is the common tendency of rail
roads to give advantage to the wealthy
shipper against the weaker or smaller
one.
1t is that tendency SO, often display
ed--a tendency to crush the weak.
For this reason say that it is neces-
sary, ii Is essential to freedom and
Independence, that the railroads should
be held under control to prevent dis
elimination. The slight advantage
that the railroads would gain by more
power-the power that Mr.. Hartman
asks for-would be SO greatly Offset
by the evil that such a proposition
would not be considered moment"

HIS POSITION UNCHANGED.
President viii Not Recall Order Dis
missing Negro Troops.

New York, Nov. 21-Secretary Taft,
who is in the city, declines to talk
about the delay in carrying out the
order for the dishonorable discharge
of the negro soldiers.
Golfers has received a dispatch
from its correspondent, who is travel
ing with the president, in reply to
one sent asking if Mr.. Roosevelt would
not suspend action in regard to the
negro soldiers until he got home. The
reply says the presidents views are
clear and unchanged" that the dis
bandment is due to him, and that the
presidents view is that the negro sol
diers, in refusing information neces-
sary to the apprehension of the men
who committed criminal acts at
Brownsville, Tex, struck at the very
heart of military justice and discip-
line. Had white troops done the same
thing, the reply says, they would have
suffered the same penalty. In conclu-
sion, the reply says:
BE the offenders black or white
the president proposes to combat race
antagonism. His action in the Browns
vile matter was taken In the face of
much adverse influence and advice
before he left. There can be no amel-
ioration of the penalty until the men
concerned show their sense of duty,
as citizens and soldiers, by giving up
the offenders. to- Justice"

proposed contract submitted by Judge
Lacey and asked Mr.. Corthell to ex
press his views. That gentleman spoke
at some length, calling attention tc
some of the provisions of the propos
ed contract. The matter of the control
of the present pipe was referred to,
the speaker taking the position that
neither the railroad company nor the
city had paid a great deal of attention
to the physical condition of the pipe
line.
Mr.. simpsons Views.
Mr.. Simpson thought the contract
as read a reasonably fair one for both
parties. Whatever is done should re-
ceive careful consideration. The pres
ent water system is not entirely ade,
quate to the needs of the city.
Mr.. BosweIl's Views.
N. X. Boswell suggested a commit
tee to go over the proposition and sub
NIT its views to the railroad company.
He believed the present pipe is defec-
tive and full of leaks.
Mr.. Arnold on the Subject.
Mr.. Arnold and City Attorney Nc
Murray had agreed to say little con-
corning the proposed contract until
they had had time to examine it thor
oughly. He had seen some omissions
that had impressed themselves. Some
of the amendments related to the kind
OF pipe to be used, the Us and elbows,
the time for completing the work and
the needs of the city while the change
was being made.
Referred to a Committee.
Mr.. Spicer moved that the matter be
referred to a committee of three mem
bers of the council, City Attorney Nc
Murray and Assistant City Attorney Nc
mold, to look over the contract and re-
port to the council at a later meeting.
Mr.. Corthell, according to the motion,
was asked to meet with the committee
as a %conferee.
The motion prevailed and Mayor Nc
Kee named, Councilmen Spicer, Dow
ney and Beemer, with the attorneys,
to have charge of the matter.
At $40 the council adjourned.
