NEW YORK. Aug. 1o.-There
was published in Wall street to-
day what purported to be an abb
stract of the address to be deliv-
cred by William H. Taft, secre-
tary of war, on Monday before
the Buckeye Republican club in
Columbus, 0. The publication
had depressing effect on the
stock market, causing it to sell of
sharply. This was due to the fact
that the alleged abstract showed
no indications of any retreat from or
modification OF the administration 9
aggressive campaign to regulate cor
porations. The publication was made
by the Wall Street Journal under date
OF Columbus, O., and said:
From intimate friends or the Sec
retary it is learned that IN his remarks

has been taken by the administration
toward the control or regulation of the
railroad corporations and trusts.
He Will take issue with Senator
Foraker on his statement that the Ell
kins law of 1903 WAS ample to insure
federal control of the railroads. and
will point out where the rate bill of
last year provides additional needed
legislation to protect the people from
fraud and imposition. While heartily
commencing this measure and the way

He thinks the rate bill does not go
far enough, and will recommend that
it should be amended so as to give the
commission power to classify merchan-
disc for rate fixing, that in order to
prevent DISQUALIFICATION no railroad
should be permitted to issue stock or
bonds without certifcation from the
commission that the proceeds were to
be devoted to legitimate railroad pur-
pose such as betterments of road and
equipments, and that railroads should
be prohibited from purchasing stock in
competing lines.
In the discussion of these amend
ments, the secretary, it is said. will
not n1ince words in his condemnation

respects to Hartman as exercising a

charge that the railroads brought it
on themselves as retaliation for their

him by an invalid widow lady with no

He then asked the people present for
a free will Offering which was respond
ed to in cash by $4,000, and no dishes

CONTEST IN ONO

Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft
are as dissimilar as TWO great public
men can he Mr.. Foraker is an orator;
MIR. Taft is not. Mr.. Foraker has been
associated always with great corporate
interests; Mr. Taft has been rather the
representative of the people in legal
controversies. Mr.. Foraker is rich:
Mr.. Taft is poor. Mr.. Foraker is q
politician and has been playing the
game practically all his life: Mr.. Taft
is as straightforward as a child in
politics. Senator Foraker is veteran
of the civil war and can appeal to the
soldier vote; Secretary Taft was too
young to enter the army OF the great
rebellion. Mr. Taft is inclined TO act,
and does act, without reference to his
political future; Senator Foraker rare
ly loses point in this connection.
Both are men of courage. Senator
Foraker consistently opposed the rail
way rate bill and voted against it,
though he knew II TO be an immensely
popular measure. Secretary Taft's
decision as % circuit Judge rendered
government by injunction possible,
and thus aroused thehostility OF labor
Mr.. Tafts speech in Ohio in 1905 pre-
vented the election Of republican
governor of that state, and brought
him in open enmity of the republican
machine and Senator Dick Foraker's
colleague. Thus the two senator's and
the republican, machine of Ohio are
united in their determination to pre-
vent Taft's Endorsement as that state S
presidential candidate. From The
Outlook.

FORGIVE AND FORGET

SO far as we are able to estimate
the temper OF the rank and file of the
people the feeling all around is far
more cordial than il was six months
or year ago, and there is a marked
disposition To forgive and forget.
This disposition was very apparent
in the general assembly. There was
no factionalism there. Men and meas
ures stood fairly on their merits and
an anyalsis OF the vote will not dis
close to the keenest and most carping
critic any regular or irregular line
up" of q factional sort. The work
was entered upon with earnest accord,
and the thisims of man cut no
ice there. There was real old fash
toned republican brotherhood in the
Legislature and there must be old
fashioned republican brotherhood in
the coming campaign, because we
are surely going to have our hands
full at the best. And whatever
has been, has been; the newspaper
men as we'll as the people ought to
forget it. What the people of Iowa
want is continuation of the Roose-
welt administration; for candidate
If not Roosevelt himself then some
man, whether he hail from Iowa or
outside of Iowa, who can be depended
upon to carry on these policies. These
issues are too vital to be impa ired by
fussing over local questions that are
of person rather than of principle.
The newspaper men OF the state ought
to be too large To be small. II they
will stop scrapping, everybody else
will stop, and all will be serene as a
