Address by President.

NO good whatever will come from
the warped and mock morality which
denOunces the misdeeds of men of
wealth and forgets the misdeeds prac-
ticed at their expense; which de-
nounces bribery, but blinds itself to
blackmail; which foams with rage if a
corporation secures fayors by improp-
er methods and merely leers with lid
eous mirth if the corporation is itself
wrOnged.
The only public servant who can
be trusted honestly to protect the
rights of the public against the mis-
deeds of a corporation is that public
man who will just as surely protect
the corporation itself from wrongful
aggression. If a public man is willing
TO yield to popular clamor and do
wrong TO the men Of wealth or 10
rich corporations, it may be set down
as certain that if the opportunuy
comes he will secretly and furtiyeIv do
wrong to the public in the interest of
a corporation. But in addition to hon
esty We need sanity. No honesty will
make a public man useful if that man
Is timid or foolish. if he is a hotbead.

He made the statement that the Bur-

the movement of freight less than that
named in the Missouri maXimuhs rate
law, now being contested. The state
sprang a surprise when it announced
that it would place Charles s. Lud-
ham, of New York, on the stand to
disprove the claim that to the Bur
lington there was little profit in
handling local freight. Ludham is an
expert and the state asserted that
