PRESIDENTS ABLE HARVARD SPEECH.

TN HIS very able address at Harvard, Presi-
Il dent Roosevelt reiterated his well-known
views concerning Federal regulation Of huge cor
porations doing an interstate commerce business
and evidenced that he has not halted his fight for
Federal supervision. at the same time he re-
buked in singing terms what he conceived TO be
the attitude of many well educated men, includ-
ing those OF Harvard, who fail to support the af-
irmatve side OF qucstion-that of regulation
that the President has assumed They are ever
ready with criticism of constructive legislation TO
curb special privileges when it is proposed by the
President or Congress The special interests
and their fat fees, according TO Mr.. Roosevelt,
are too attractive a bait to be rejected by the
learned men who are often too willing to serve
the special privileges rather than the country.
The President is not so radical as is Governor
Hughes Of New York, but they both think along
the same lines.
Mr. Roosevelt also recalled the doctrine of
States rights, which he sees revived to prevent
legislation against special privilege. Those who
urge States rights as an objection TO Federal reg
ulation of large industries which from their very
nature affect all the States, find themselves in a
dismayed minority When the States rights
principle was in vogue we had no industrial de-
veopment or such accumulation Of capital and
business as there exists to-day. Conditions have
changed. A doctrine that had even a sembance
of force fifty or one hundred years ago is nulli-

It is said that several members of the Senate
were induced to vote for the rairoaded S5ooooo
loan bill on Friday by one of the Senators say
ing the measure was favored by Governor Lea,
who was ready to sign it as soon as the bill could
be passed and signed by the Speakers. This fact
dsposes of the hope some people have that Gov
ernor Lea would veto the bill should it be pass
ed by the Legislature. There are some people
who are surprised that the Governor would be
mixed up in such an unsavory affair as is the half
million loan scheme.

AT a largely attended meeting of the Farmers
Institute of New Castle County vigorous pro-
test was made to the bill railroaded through NE
Senate on Friday by Senators Rose and Sparks,
bonding New Castle county half million dollars
for the purpose OF placing that amount Of money
in the hands of the Levy Court to spend on roads.
1t is not surprising that that large and influential
organization of farmers would express themselves
so promptly and earnestly on the 100000 Levy
Court loan scheme and it is probable that thcr
protest will be needed by the members OF the
House.

William D. Haywood, charged with

: Judge WooS's ruling, which requires
the defense to meet with evidence the
case that the state has presented,
was made at 5:15 o'clock. and 1t was
then arranged that Haywood's counsel
should make their opening statement
and present their first testimony on
Monday.
When the trial opened Friday, II
was stipulated that the record should
show that the date of the draft sent
by Haywood to Jack Simpkins late
in 1905, was December 81, and af-
ter that the prosecution proceeded 70

trader, VINO swore that he sold a
horse and buggy to Orchard In Den

rs one of the men who rode with Or
chard. After that the defense adj
mitted that in June. 1903. Haywood
sent $40 to Steve Adams at Ogden,
and when the necessary showing had
been made on the record, the prose-
cution formally rested.
The motion for an instruction to the
jury to acquit was by agreennent pre-
sented at the afternoon session, and
the jury was sent back to the jury
house, OUT of hearing OF the argu-
ment. 3
Attorney Il. F. Richardson made
the principal argument in support Of
the. motion in a long, carefully pre-
pared and eloquent address,
Clarence barrow, who closed
pleaded that there was not a shred OF
evidence in the case capable Of stand
ing without 'the rotten thread Of Or
chards story" to sustain Il, and that
the plain provision Of the Idaho sta
tute made the duty Of the court clear,
He rldlculed the idea that II would
not make out a case against the prIs-
oner worthy Of submission to the jury.
