ing the administrations of Presidents
Harrison, Cleveland. Mckinley and ROOse-
welt, have accomplished great national
results in awakening the moral sense of
the ASQerican people and in asserting the
sups1s.,dcy and majesty of the law, thus
effectually refuting the impression that
great wealth and large corporations were
too powerful for the impartial execution
of the law. This great advance has rem

IN RESOLUTIONS
Report of Committee Appoint
ed by National Civic Fed

CHANGED CONDITIONS REQUIRE
NEW STATUTES.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Today's session of the
National Civic federation was given over
to five-minute talks by business men.
who discussed the various topics intro
duced by the various speakers during the
last three days.
The committee on resolutions presented
its report as follows
After twenty years of federal legisla
ton, as interpreted by the courts direct
ed against the evils of trusts and combi-
nations and against railroad rebates, be-
ginning with the interstate commerce act
of 1857 and the antitrust act of 1880. a
general and just conviction exists that
the experience gained in enforcing these
federal acts and others succeeding them,
demonstrates the necessity of Legislation
which shall render more secure the bene-
fits already gained and better meet the
changed conditions which have arisen
during a long period of active progress.
both in the enforcement of statute law
and in removal of grave abuses in the
management of railroads and corpora
tons The changes now demanded are:
