Supervise Railways Like Banks.

In touching upon the railroads the
President declared: 1.-THE national gov.

pervision and control similar to that
which it now exercises over national
banks. We can do this only by proceed.
ing farther along the line marked out by
recent national legislation"
Concerning the matter of national con-
troll as it might conflict with the rights Of
the States Mr.. Roosevelt said:
cit seems to me that such questions as
national sovereignty and States rights
need to be treated not empirically or aca-
demfcally, but from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as a whole. Ma.
tional sovereignty is to be upheld in Sc
far as it means the sovereignty of the
people used for the real and ultimate good
of the people; and States rights are to bt
upheld in so far as they mean the peoples
rights. Especially is this true in dealiEs
with the relations of the people as whole
to the great corporations which are the
distinguishing feature of modern business
conditions"
Mr.. Roosevelt said word concerning
what might be accomplished in time N
the way of making easier the path of use
full combinations, but he said fatty that
the day could not come before there VGs
far more thorough control by the national
government. On this matter his words
were:
Ultimately, and 1 hope with reason
able speed, the national government must
pass laws which, while increasing the
supervisory and regulatory power Of the
government, also permit such useful com.
binations as are made with absolute open
ness and as the representative of the gov
eminent may previously approve. But il
will not be possible to permit such com
binations save as the second stage in a
course of proceedings of which the first
stage must be the exercise of far more
complete control by the national govern
ment."

The Tariff Tinker Never Sleeps.
Iii l. - H., -

The Tariff Tinker Never Sleeps.
The tariff tinker is one of the most
unique of modern freaks. In promoting
his favorite scheme for the unbalancing
of business equilibrium he never sleeps.
He is the fostering sore and the inter
mittent fever that affiicts struggling en-
terprises and he yields only to heroic
remedies.
1t is undoubtedly true that the tariff
could never be adjusted to suit every
body. Probably each and every one Of
the 500 manufacturers who assembled
in New York recently could suggest a
tariff that would benefit his particular
business.
But how about the thousands of
workingmen, manufacturers and mer-
chants whose interests would not be
considered in the revision?
No matter who demands free trade
or its substitute, tariff revision"
there is no question that under present
schedules the nation is enjoying a pc
Rod of greatest prosperity in its his

Good Times Ahead.

The peSSimiSt and croaker, survey
ing the industrial current, occasionally
manifest an inclination to howl that
we are drifting through the rapids to
sort Of Niagara calamity and, to boil
ster up their dire prophecies, they point
to the scarcity of money in the market.
AS q matter of fact this one negative
factor in the Industrial situation is evil
dence of business activity and, further
more, the stringency has the effect Of
checking the development of new and
hazardous enterprises 1t is a proven
tive of speculation and gives solidity
and stability to existing trade.
If history were to repeat itself we
might we'll consider ourselves on the
eve of a financial crisis. For longer
period than usual unprecedented pros
perity has prevailed in this country.
Wages, as rule, have been higher and
the necessities, comforts and pleasures
of life have been within reach Of
larger proportion Of our people than
ever before. Recently there has been
cles and forecasts of business depres-
sion have been the consequence. With
these in mind the New York Times
conservative in all lines and politically
opposed to the party in power, has
made canvass of the country, to as
certain if the volume Of commerce is
decreasing, if there is a lessening in
the demand for labor and if the manu-
featuring interests show any signs of
decadence. This canvass included the
leading authorities in the world and
their replies are most assuring. Not
only do these men see no sign of COM
ing cataclysm but they assert that con-
ditionS warrant the prediction of even
better times than We have been hav-
ing.
This is certainly encouraging, and
coming from such sources is trust
worthy. 1t is especially gratifying on
the eve of a complicated Presidential
campaign.
