Senator George f. Hoar: Protection
secures 10 the American workman at
least one r.market-the market of the
greatest consuming nation on earth. Pro-
lection secures to the American farmer
at least one market-the market OF the
greatest manufacturing nation on earth.
Free trade secures no market either to
manufacture or agriculture.

Government ownership violates the

Government supervision leaves business
In individual hands. but requires that In

business out OF the hands OF the people

Private Business a Trust.

The day was when individuals could
do the business OF communities because
those communities were small and COM
munication with other communities was
difficult. All business was private bust
ness then IL was one man dealing with
another man. But railroads, telegraphs,
telephones came and that period passed
away Universal communication brought
another period into being What was he-
fore the needs of hundreds became the
needs of millions, And so the organi.
aaton of industry grew out of the inter-
ests OF the people.
Nothing hut great combinations Of
capital could answer tho enormous needs
Of the masses. Aud because one man
was no longer dealing with another man,
but vast corporations were dealing with
millions of men. those corporations be-
came no longer private concerns, but
public servants, Their managers became
no longer private business men. but pub
lie business men. Every member OF every
great industry which touches all the peo-
Pile IL no longer an individual dealing
with another individual; he Is states
man of affairs dealing with nation He
Is 40 longer an exclusive owner manag-
ing private business for his exclusive
gain alone; he s u trustee managing n
great business for the peoples welfare ms
well as his own welfare

Government Regulation.

industry developed out OF changed CON
ditions so the principle OF government
regulation develops out OF tho action of
these organizations themselves Just Az
the old methods of private business
would be utterly inadequate ia the new
condition, 80 the old principle OF arbi-
trary private management Is utterly In
applicable 10 the new methods. And so
IL IL that the new principle of regulation
by the government Of all the people,
over business so great that II affects all
the people, has developed from tho very
same causes that produced those great
businesses themselves,
For example, railway rates are I'm the
last analysis In tax on every human
being I'm tho republic, They affect the
prices OF all commodities, They directly
touch every variety OF business IN tho
| nation--every farmer who ships bushel
! OF grain, every wholesale merchant who
| receives them, every factory that ships
/ it's products. every mine that ships its
ore every man, woman and child who
travels from town TO town,
| It is necessary that these rates shall
| be Just; aud the Justice of those rates
| can not be left exclusively TO the manr
| ayers OF the railways whose immediate
| purpose IL the greatest possible profits.
| IT those profits we're disposed of for tho
| equal good of all stockholders II might
| be different; but they are often juggled
| for the advantage OF a few Stockholders,
as witness the recent surprise In Union
aud Southern Pacific dividends and the
results that followed. Operations like
that ought not TO be permitted. open
and above board" must hencoforth be
the motto Of American business
Therefore II becomes necessary that
the people whose savings are invested
In these very railways; the people from
whom the railways derive their rev.
enues; the people whom the railways
serve and who serve the railways should
have voice In their management. so,
II is necessary that the railways whose
rates are a tax upon all the people,
whose operation directly affects an the
people, should be controlled and reg
ulated by the government OF all the peo-
pie

entered the shipping trade. He soon
became connected with the establish
ment of David Bows & Co. In 1861
he was admitted to partnership and
for many years has been it's head.
For a quarter Of a century, under the
management of Bows & Orr, this
house was one of the leading commits
sion houses Of the country, the busi-
ness being in flour, grain and pro-
visions, chiefly home products. To the
firm largely was due the maintenance
of a leading place as grain market
for the port of New York.
Mr.. Orr joined the Produce Ex-
change in 1859 and has been president
many times. He has taken a leading
part in the work of the Chamber of
Commerce and was chairman of the
Rapid Transit Commission, which
built the subway.
Politically Mr.. Orr has always been
active and Independent. He was as

ANARCHIST BAND BROKEN UP.

than that which has terrorized resi-
dents of Washington County, Pennsyl-
vania, for some time. Two ringleaders
are now under arrest, warrants are out
for three more and warrants will be
sworn out against thirty-three others
by District Attorney Owen Underwood.
Revelations following the raid on
anarchistic headquarters at Baird, Pa,
are of a character to shock the Ameri-
can people. 1t is clear that several
murders were planned by the anarch-
istic group at Baird and at Paterson,
n. J. In two cases the men marked
for assassination have been assasSina-
ted In other cases the plans to kill
the Governors of Pennsylvania and
Ohio and other public men had been
completed when the police authorities
took action.

ians, but they plot against men Of their
own nationality as well as against ma
tive Americans. They strike at the
Republican Governor of Pennsylvania
and at the same time lay plans to as
sassinate the newly elected Democatic
Governor of Ohio.
In some cases they demand money !;
in others they plan assassination with
out reference to the character or poll
tics of the public officials to be assassi-
mated. Operating on one line they in
timidate or rob men of means, and op-
Grating on another line they seek to
terrorize nation of 100000 people
by assassination of State and National
officers.
In other words, a few hundred men
driven from the country of their birth
or coming to the United States to en-
joy greater freedom or to secure more
lucrative employment assume the right
to rob and the power to rule, through
intimidation and murder, the people
of the country that gives them shelter
and employment The declared pur-
pose of the Baird and Paterson anarch-
lists is to abolish republican form of
government and eXterminate public of
ficials from President down.

this frugality certainly is a welcome

one did not feel that here was some

Menomonie has more children in pro-
portion to its population attending its
public schools than any other city in the
United States, according to State Sena-

Roosevelt of the wonderful record of his

pany with Senator Spooner. Senator
Stout is a northumberland who believes
in giving his money to help primary edu-
cational institutions instead of colleges
and universities. He has established 800
circulating libraries throughout Wiscon-
sin in connection with public schools,
and has also assisted them in other
ways. He said that out of a population
of $500 the town of Menomonie had
200 children attending the public
schools, a record he claimed was not
equaled anywhere else in the country.

By vote of 1914 to $50 the State
hood bill passed the House, and the
fight was at once transferred to the
Senate. The end of the insurrection
against President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and the House organization
was peaceful. The vote upon the
passage of the bill was perfunctory,
there being no excitement whatever.

attendance upon the floor was not as
large as the preceding day, when the
opposition attempted to prevent the
adoption of the rule for the considera-

Philippine tariff reform, Statehood
for the remaining Territories of the
mainland and railroad rate legislation

present form proposes to erect Okla

in all it's aspects for several years.
The desirability of admitting the two
f~st-named Territories to joint State
hood is nowhere questioned. Oklahoma
has advanced rapidly and promises to
become wealthy, influential and pro-

against the joint admission of Arizona

should come in together, if at all.

For several years Mr.. Rockefeller
has spent pra ,tically all of the year at
one or another of his three homes
Forest Hill, a country place near Cleye-

til October; his New York town house
on Fifty-fourth street, or his great es-

On-the-Hudson, says Miss Tarbell in

thing of 4 mans character from his
homes-pardcularly when the man is
one who is freed from the necessity
Of considering cost in building. Mr..
ROckefeller'S homes force several reflec-
tons on me. Certainly they show his
cult Of the unpretentiouS. No one of
the three houses he occupies has any
claims to rank among the notable
homes Of the country. They are all
unpretending even TO the point Of being
conspicuous. Not only that. they show
aim to have no pleasure in noble arcni-
lecture, to appreciate nothing of the
beauty of fine lines and decorations

house at Forest Hill, is a monument of

distinction, and there has never been
