Speeches for Democracy to

REFORMS OF ROOSEVELT
PIONEER WORK DONE BY THE
DEMOCRATS.

Fort Scott, Kan, Oct S.-W j. Bryan
made his first Kansas speech of this
campaign here today. He said in part:
II am glad TO come to Kansas and 1
am glad to find a spirit here that we
have not always found in politics In
fact. unless | am very much mistaken.
W's' are approaching a time when we can
consider public measures with less of par
tisanship than we have in former years
| can remember when / first entered pol
ltlcS that there was such a strong feel
ing in regard to the parties that it was
almost impossible for q man belonging
to any party to find anything good in
another party This state has done much
to break down the old feeling. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done good deal to
convince the public that there is some
thing good In the Democratic platforms.
He had the courage to take up some of
the reforms the Democrats advocated be-
fore his party had advocated them.
Rooseve!t's Handicap.
1.-THE president has done much good.
don't know what he might have done
had he had environment favorable to
reform He has done remarkable things
foI man who had TO fight his leaders
all the way through | don't know waat
he might have accomplished had he not
been SO handicapped"
On the subject of government owner
ship of the railroads. Mr. Bryan said
that several years ago the Democrats and
Populists were ridiculed for suggesting
such thing and that he had been de-
noTnced as dangerous because he had
mentioned ii as a means of relief from
the oppression of the railroads But
now we find President Roosevelt daring
t. hold as a club over the railroads that
idea in terms more radical than L had
suggested.
Presidents Threat.
In his last two messages TO congress
Mr.. Bryan said. President Roosevelt had
said with emphasis that if the railroads
did not get out Of politics and let the
people run the government, government
ownership of railroads would be the in
evitable end. He had suggested govern
ment ownership only about six months
ahead of Roosevelt, and he was awful
glad to be ahead of the president in thai
line of reform.
Pittsburg. Kan, Oct. S.-W. ]. Bryan
delivered two speeches here today and
was greeted by large crowds. He devoted
most of his afternoon speech to the char
acter of the candidates on the state Dem
ocratic ticket in Kansas. although he dis
crssed the tariff at length.

Laws of Ohio.
TRIAL WILL BEGIN TODAY
JOHN D. WILL HAVE SEPARATE
HEARING.

Findlay, o.. Oct. S.-Charged with
Of the antitrust laws of the state, the
Standard Oh company of Ohio and its
alleged constituent companies. the
Buckeye Pipe Line company and the
Maphattan Oil company, will be placed
onf trial here tomorrow before Judge
Stdeon c. Banker and a jury in the
probate court of Hancock county. In
<the original information filed last June
py county Prosecutor William l.. Da-
Vfd, Jonn ID. Rockefeller was made a
party to the suit, but through the
granting OF request/for a separate
trial Mr.. Rockefeller will not be called
as defendant until the case against
the company has been disposed of. Mr..
Rockefeller. it is said, will not be sum-
moned as a witness and will not attend
the trial
Trials on Information.
If the manner Of instituting the suit
by information instead of by grand jury
indictment-and the Jurisdiction as
sumed by the probate court are up
held in the higher state courts, tie
case will assume added importance as
indicating an easier and more direct
method for action against alleged trade
consDiracies.
Both the manner of bringing the
suit and the jurisdiction of the probate
court have been questioned by the at
torneys for the defense, but Judge
Banker has decided against them on all
points and no appea. can be taken on
these preliminary questions until the
case has been tried
Judge Banker ruled that a violating
of the Valentine law constitutes a mis-
ar hat faa1 loo -
the legislature gave probate courts con-
current jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors.
To this ruling, as we'll as that on
other technical points, the defense took
exception.
Ohio Law on Trusts.
The Valentine law, under which the
action was brought, was passed July
/, 1898. 1t defines trust deliberately
as combination of capital. skill or
acts by two or more persons. firms,
etc. to create or carry out restrictions
in trade. The violations of the act are
defined as Conspiracy against trade -
and are punishable by fine of from
$50 TO $4,000 or Imprisonment for from
six to twelve months. AS to the evil
dence required to convict, the statute
says:
ct shall be sufficient to prove that
q trust or combination as defined here
i'm exists, and that the defendant be-
longed to it or acted for or in connec-
tion with il. without proving all the
members belonging to it, or proving
of producing any article of agreement
or any written instrument on which
il may have been based; or that it
was evidenced by any written instru-
ment at all. The character of the trust
or combination alleged may be estab-
lished by proof of its general reputation
as such"

sort of document believed by the COM
missioners to be necessary for safeguard
ing the work
President Roosevelt is known TO support
the commission in its position that the
work can be done more satisfactorily by
contractors than by the government. He
had long conference with Chairman
Shcnts today on the subject and the va
rious arguments in favor Of the contract
system were discussed fully.
CooIyies to Do the Work
his change in building the canal will
IN no way affect the employment of Chi
nese labor. Proposals for furnishing the
Chinese labor were made under such con-
rdltions that they can be transferred TO
contractors and the terms can be full
filled in such a manner that the gov
eminent can give the coolies just as much
protection as IL could if the government
were the direct employer.
II is likely that no disposition will be
made of the bids for supplying Chinese
labor until after the return of Secretary
Taft from Cuba, as he assisted in draw
ing the specifications under which pro-
posals were offered and IS much inter
ested in the conditions under which tho
Chinese are to be taken to the isthmus.
President Roosevelt still intends to visit
the isthmus this fall. and. unless there
be some change for the worse in the Gu
ban situation, will probably leave for
Colon a short time after the election.
