The anti-RooseVelt =, sentiment
tipged most OF the speeches of the

provoked roars of merpiment, when,

truly remarkable pronomcemcnt,
gentlemen, II but one, with which |
hope we may all OF us agree, and
that is, when the President turns his
big guns upon the caterpillars, and
suggests as a national measure that
we unite in cultivating the race of
oriole birds, which, he declares, and
you know he is no nature faker, to
be the ancestral enemies or the rapa-
cious caterpillar, the most. gerous

Senator Foraker was present also
and the doughty Ohio senator Joined
with our own Senator Scott in a shot
at the President. The Posts ac-
count goes on to say: c..
Senator Foraker, conscious Of Il
sympathetic atmosphere and master
OF all the arts Of irony, inuendo
and invective, gave free rein to the
spirit OF the occasion. Without actual
~ mentioning the President by name
he made it clear that, in his opin-
ion, the check in public confidence,
the assault, as. he termed it, upon the
business and financial interests OF the
country were to be attributed in a
measure to the unreasonable attacks
OF man high in power and with
little knowledge of or SYMPATHY
with the business interests ef~-Amer-
lea"
Foraker was followed by Speaker
Cannon, who undertook, though COM
pllmenting the independence, >cour-
age, and ability Of the Senator: from
Ohio. to show that the present fnan7
cial trouble was due to many and
complex causes. He proceeded to
demonstrate that no one man nor
any one thing was to blame for the
stringency in our financial affairs.
He insisted that the country had long
INDUCED in almost a saturnalia OF
speculation, and declared that, like it
or not, we have to come back to
sound sense and to reasona bic prices
and profits" =.

The streams were beginning to run

crossing but to swim the dogs. The
intrepid musher wrapped his wife care

The Conflict of Railroad Opera
ton and Finance.

Here is something sent by our old
friend, John M. Bartlett, copied from
the Minneapolis Tribune of August 20:
1t is not necessary that tale should
be true to make it IA suggestive text. We
prefer not to believe the undignifed
story that the vice-president of the Great
Northern tried to punch the head of the
president because he was not allowed to
draw upon the surplus for betterments,
though the severe illness that was OBJ
viously coming on might excuse him.
But the fiction illustrates the contin-
ual conflict between the finance and
operation of railroads that becomes
acute in times like these. 1t is the eter-,
nal conflict between prudence and enter
prise. Banks have to face it when a
strong demand for money at high rates
comes, as it almost always does, at a
time when prudence calls for strengthen
il.g of reserves for future contingencies.
Business men confront it when tempta-
ton to expansion of business presents
itself at the same time with necessity
for contraction of credits.
The conflict is heightened when nat
uraly expanding business presses upon
the operating facilities of railroads at
the same time that Influences more or
less artificial limit their credit and
menace their earnings. Operation de-
mands increased expense that finance
dares not allow in anticipation of future
contingencies. With extreme zeal and
loyalty to stockholders and the public
on both sides, We can imagine the
knights Oh two sides of the shield COM
ing to the physical argument,
&The marvellous increase of traffic has
driven all the railroads to extreme shifts
to procure money for increase of facil
tiles. The loan market has been partly
closed to them by deplorable exposures
of corruption and extravaganza of few
and almost as deporable tendency in
high place and low to lump all railroad,
together in the natural dstrust and in
dignation, There is nothing for it but
to get as much money as possible out of
current earnings.
Operation wants to pour all this mon
ey into new facilities. Finance wants to
conserve it for protection of dividends
i'll possible future contingencies. No out
slider can venture an opinion between
them, though plainly the true course
varies with conditions. In some COM
panies dividends are being reduced or
passed. In others increased gross earn

big surplus was being accumulated, and
he demanded that immense sums be aI-
propriated at once for improving the road

a very bad condition because of lack OF
attention and repairs.
