Weisse came out of the box before all
the good places on the Democrat side

RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT.

Unhinching perseverance in war against
successful dishonesty.
There must be no halt in the course re-
garding interstate commerce which the
nation has elected to pursue. There
should be either national incorporation
act or law licensing interstate railway
companies. The interstate commerce
commission should be given power to
pass upon the future issues of railway
securities. Ample means should be pro
vided to enable the commission to make
Il physical valuation of railroads. Roads
should be allowed to enter into agree
mentS.
There should be additional legislation
looking to the proper control of the great
business concerns engaged i'll Interstate
business, this control to be exercised for
their own benefit and prosperity no less
than for the protection of investors and
of the general public. Business combina-
tons are necessary and it is as idle to
desire to put an end to all corporations,
to all big combinations of capital, rs
to desire to put an end to combinations
of labor. 1t is profoundly immoral to
put or keep on the statute books law,
nominally in the interest of public mo-
rality, that really puts n premium upon
public immortality, by undertaking to for
bid honest men from doing what must
be done under modern business condl
tions, so that the law itself provides that
its own infraction must be the condition
/ precedent upon business success.
The antitrust law should be made more
efficient and more in harmony with act
ual conditions. 1t should be so amended
rs to forbid only the kind of combination
which does harm to the general public
| such amendment to be accompanied by
or to be an incident of, grant of sup
! ervsory power to the government over
| these big concerns engaged i'll interstate
| business. This should be accompanied
| by provision for the compulsory publica
| ton of accounts and the subsection OF
| books and papers to the inspection OF the
government officials.
| The antitrust law should not prohibi
combinations that do no injustice to the
| public, still less those the existence o
| which is on the whole of benefit to thu
public. A combination should not be
tolerated if it abuse the power acquired
| by combination to the public detrment

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD
TAKEN FROM MINE,
Struggle with Renewed Energy Hoping
to Explore Balance of Entries
at Fayette City.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dee. 3.--Twcnty five
of the miners caught by an explosion OF
fire damp Sunday night in the Naomi
luine of the United Coal company, located
near Fayette City, had been reached by
the rescuers this morning. Az were dead
and charred almost beyond recognition.
The rcscuers are now nearing the end
of the workings ana they have found no
sign of lie anywhere. In the opinion of
the owners of the mine few if any more
victims will be found, but among miners
md others in the village there is a firm
belief that the total number of victims
| is between forty and fifty.
| After finding eleven bodies near the
, twenty-nnth entry shortly before mid
night the rescuers went to work with re-
newed energy to explore the remaining
seven entries. There are thirty-siX entries
| in all, and until the last OF these has
been searched, the full extent of the dis
aster will not be known. Because of
| the accumulation of gas, the work of
rescue III the remote sections of the
mine is greatly impeded.
| A second explosion is a constant men
ace and every prccautlon is being taken
to avert such catastrophe.
| Scores of frenZied women constantly
surround the PIT mouth ana the special
| detail of officers have much trouble i'll
keeping them from interfering with the
work of the rescuers.
! The cause of the explosion has not vet
been ascertained. One theory is that it
resulted from the explosion of black
damp in an unused entry when a miner
carrying an open lamp crossed the dead
| line" Another is that Il spark from the
troly line over which cars are hauled
| from the workings to the mouth of the
shaft ignited a pocket of gas in the mine

legislation can by any possibility guar

would vanish If Congress provided an
