PRESIDENTS LETTER.


Cuban Veterans Regret Any Interior
ence BY United States.
Havana, Sept. 15--The letter of Pres
ident Roosevelt to Senior de Quesada,
the Cuban Minister, is the great topic
OF the day among Cubans and foreign
ers alike.
Far from considering his references
to American Intervention as something
to be dreaded. 1t Is almost universally
regarded as the most desirable consum-
nation possible Of the trouble. There
are some persons who do not agree with
this view. but they are very rare. All
the business interests are anxious for
Intervention and even the politicians
admit that this would be the best out
come.
The Associated Press correspondent has
Information to the effect that some Of
the government officials who are close
to President Palma privately welcome
tide idea, and that the President himself
desires protection though not perman-
emit Intervention.
The general oipin among Cuban bus
mess men today Is that Intervention In
the most desirable thing which can be
suggested and their only fear Is that 1t
may be only temporary.
There Is somewhat marked feeling
of disappointment among the veterans
that Intervention is possible or immi-
nent The veterans. for sentimental
reasons, would regret to see Cuba sac
rifice her sovereignty in even a small
degree This feeling, however, Is off,
set by the universal desire for a per-
manent settlement of the trouble. and
for government which can be relied
upon to maintain peace under all cir
cumstances,

Roanoke, Va. Sept. i5--Col w. j.
Bryan spent today in Southwest Vir-
ginia, delivering an address this after
noon to an immense crowd at Radford.
Va. and speaking to an enormous
throng in Roanoke tonight from the
portico of the Elks home. His Radford
speech was on political lines. while his
Roanoke talk was more on brotherly
love.
At Radford. Mr.. Bryan said Democra-
cy is a doctrine that appeals to the
heart and that Is why the Democratic
Party lives. whether 1t wins or loses.
The idea of Democracy Is growing in
this country. the party is full of hope
for the coming campaign. he said. The
people better understand the ideas Of
Democracy and as they better under
stand them they are growing moro
friendly to them.
He then discussed at length the posi-
tion of the Republican Party and the
popularity of President Roosevelt. On
the subject of government ownership
of railroads Mr.. Bryan outlined the
growth of this idea in his own mind,
and said his position has been mis-
stated and sometimes misconstrued. Il
have been accused of favoring a thing
that would lead to Capitalization"
He denied that such would be the
result of his plan, but that his was the
first suggestion made In many years
booking toward strengthening the State
and making bulwark against central
ization. He discussed the dual nature
of his plan. dividing the ownership of
railroads between the Federal and State
governments He referred to govern
ment control of railroads in Germany,
as poof of the practicability OF his
ideas
The remainder of his address was de-
voted to an enlargement OF this subject
mainly as given before in his recent
address.
At roanoke Mr.. Bryan received a
hearty welcome. At the Elks home he
spoke for twenty minutes and was wild.

Tn all products the per centage
produced by the corporation has de-
creased since the corporation was or
ganized with the exception of coke and
wire nails. The question which 1t
seems to me is pertinent to ask is
whether you considered the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation on ac-
count of the manufacturing the per
centage of products mentioned above,
is a trust and for that reason should
be refused a license II you consider
the per centage too large, to what ex-
tent would you compel the corporation
TO sell or dismantle its plants so that
~ will not be II trust?''
This letter Mr.. Bryan responded to
as follows:
Your favor at hand thank you
the steel trust. I note that in some
cases It controls more than half of the
product and in some cases less.
IT am not prepared to state how
much a proportion a corporation can
control without becoming a trust in
the sense that it limits competition
and controls the price and terms of
sale. For the conduct of my own pa
per l draw the line at so per cent and
do not accept an advertisement of a
corporation controlling more than so
per cent of the product in which It
deals.
II have only been contending for a
rrinciple The details are less i'm
portant as they can he determined ac-
cnrding to experience and experiment.
am inclined to believe. however, that
the steel trust controls more of tho
product than it is good for the Ameri-
can people that one corporation
should.
In saying that a corporation should
not be licensed when II controls enough
10 eliminate competition. do not
mean to say that the individual indus
tries that are under one management
should be destroyed. The corporation
should simply be compelled to reduce
Its factories until its production Is in
the limit fixed by the law"

BRYAN ON TRUSTS.
writes an Explanatory Letter to Iron
Trade Paper.

Cleveland. o.. Sept. 15.--The Iron
Trade Review has obtained from W. J.
Bryan a more definite statement OF his
position in regard to the so-called
trusts. In letter to Mr.. Bryan.
George Smart, the editor of that paper.
said:
I'm your recent address at Madison
Square Garden New York, you define
trust to be any corporation which con-
trolls so much of the production of
any article that 1t can fix the terms
and conditions OF sale" Later in your
address you said.
ct is far easier to prevent mo-
nopoly than to watch 1t, and to punish
1t. and this prevention can be accom-
Ilished in a practical way by refusing
a license to any corporation which oon-
trolls more than a certain proportion
of the total product-thls proportion
to be arbitrarily fixed at point which
will give free operation to competl-
ton
I'm the year 1905, the percentage of
production of the United States steel
Corporation and its competitors was
