The Hamilton Club of Chicago for

drawing card, and the large hall was

HANGED by the fact of the Senator's
close relations to the administration.
His utterances were regarded as wholly
or at least in great measure rejecting
the views of the President
Therefore what Senator Beveridge
said concerning government ownership
may be regarded as reply to Bryan's
enunciations on that subject. The pith
of the argument is contained in the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
The peoples government should do no
business that the people can do better
themselves; the peoples government
should own no business that the people
can better own themselves.
But the peoples government should
control and regulate industries owned by
some of the people that are great as
to affect the welfare of all of the people.
The people, through their government,
should not permit some of them to prac-
tice business methods that will be unjust
to all of them. But the peoples govern
ment should not own any industry which
private enterprise can efficiently manage
and whose abuses government regulation
can prevent.
Government ownership of nationwide
business is the European theory of indus
try. Government regulation of nation
wide business is the American theory of

RIVER "NuocEo" HIM.


what Diver Thought When TuGboas
Sank Beside Him.
Henry Tract, diver. was at work
on the bottom of the Harlem River this
morning when a subsurface wave near
~ knocked him down. This was a new
experience for Tract, in spite of the
fact that he has been providing about
river and bay bottoms in diving bell
for years. He has met queer fish and
he has UNEXPECTEDLY come across grew
some bodies often, but the river never
pushed him before, says the New York
Post.
The cause of this sensation was right
at hand and very obvious, even through
six feet Of murky river water. way
down below the level of passing keels.
One keel had come down fast and hard
below that level and Tract saw through
the glass window of his steel mask the
hull of big boat settling in the mud
right beside him and not more than his
own length away.
Tract didn't wait to hail the tug. He
wasn't ON that uncanny job. and the
boat, arriving SO suddenly without
whistling, made him nervous. Besides,
he could see a red flag, not flying. of
course, but winding in a moist, ghostIy
sort of way about the staff as the boat
swayed gently when her keel first
touched bottom.
A red flag always means danger, and
Tract didn't investigate then TO learn
just what sort of danger q red flag I'M
der water indicates.
He jerked the emergency call on his
signal cord and was hoisted to the sur
face.
There he learned that the boat which
had sunk so uncomfortably close to
him was the Harlem River. The tug
was on her way to Flood Rock at He'll
Gate for load of dynamite, to be used
in the government dredging operations
at Central bridge. near 155th street
Hence the red flag.
The trip to He'll Gate wasn't finished
because the boat was rammed and sunk
by another towboat, the Margaret d.,
off East 1881 street. That's where
Tract was at work repairing the city's
submarine water pipes to Randalls
island.
Before the boat went down, her cap
tain and crew all managed to scramble
aboard the Margaret ID.

country have been experiencing a great
shortage of help, and the total sup
ply of farm hands is far below the de-
mand.
Many of the great manufacturing
concerns, notably in some of the steel
and iron districts, are handicapped by
a shortage of labor.
The railroads are embarrassed by a
shortage of cars, and the facilities for
the prompt moving of the great crops
are strikingly inadequate
The money market is suffering from
a shortage Of funds with which to con-
duct the tremendous commerce of the
country.
These various shortages, which are
all pronounced and which might be
supplemented by others, are born of
the Astounding prosperity which the
United States is experiencing in this
notwithstanding year. The volume Of
agencies and accommodations needed
to handle the business which this
country is now transacting from day to
day is enormous.
The Paramount Issue.
In his eloquent speech at the Ohio
Republican State convention Senator
Foraker said:
"We are to have a Congressional
election. Congressional elections are
always important, but they are espe-
cially and particularly SO this year.
They are thus unusually important
because this year they involve not
only the political complexion of the
next House of Representatives, but
they involve also directly and imme-
diately the question whether or not
the American people propose in Novem-
Der next to indorse and approve the
administration Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Each and every man is running In his
district, but Theodore Roosevelt is run
min IN every district. That is true, be-
cause he has had more to do than any
other President ever before had with
the legislation that Congress has been
enacting."
