TAKES NO BACKWARD STEP
President Eorcefully Reasserts His
Position Regarding Railroads.
They Should Be as Completely Under
Governmental Control AS Are
the National Banks.

Indianapolis, Indiana. - President
Roosevelt delivered the principal,
address in this city Thursday at the
unwilling of the statue to Gen. Law
ton, a veteran of the civil war, who
died in the service of his country in
the Philippines. The address had
been looked forward to for weeks as
being the first authoritative express
sion of the presidents views regard
ing the relationship of the govern
ment to the railroads of the country.
After delivering an eulogy on Gen.
Lawton and the veterans of the Civil
war Mr.. Roosevelt said among other
things:
"One great problem that we have
before US is to preserve the rights
of property and these can only be
preserved if we remember that they
are in less jeopardy from the socialist
and the anarchist than from the pre-
datory man of wealth. The power
of the nation must be exerted to stop
crimes of cunning no less than
crimes of violence. There can be no
halt in the course we have deliber
ately elected to pursue, the policy
of asserting the right of the nation.

control of the common carriers doing
an interstate business; a control alb
solutely vested in the nation. There
must be vested in the federal gov
eminent a full power of supervision
and control over the railways doing
interstate business; a power in many
respects analogous to and as COM
plete as that the government exer-
cises over the national banks. 1t
must possess the power to exercise
supervision over the future issuance
of stocks and bonds, either through

The movement to regulate railways
by law has come to stay. The people
of this country have made up their
minds-and wisely made up their
minds to exercise a closer control
over all kinds of public service cor
porations, including railways. Every
honestly managed railway will gain
and not lose by the policy. The men
more anxious to manipulate stocks
than to make the management of
their roads efficient and honest are
the only ones who have cause to op-
pose it.

Medicine of Bamboo Sap.

In India the sap of the female bam-
boo tree is used for medicinal pur-
poses. "Tabasheer," or "banslochan,"
is sold in all Indian bazars, as it has
been known from the earliest times as
a medicinal agent. 1t is also known
in Borneo, and was an article of COM
merce with early Arab traders of the
east. Its properties are said to be
Strengthening, tonic and cooling. 1t
has been analysed and has been shown
to consist almost entirely of silica,
with traces of lime and potash. From
its remarkable occurrence in the hol-
lows of bamboos the eastern mind has
long associated it with miraculous
powers.
