st. Louis, Oct. 1.-The finishing
touches to the preparations for the
visit of President Roosevelt are be-

Building after building is one great

Especially notable are the decorations
of Eads and Merchants bridges and
the elevated road along the levee.
Nearly a score of governors will be
in st. Louis tomorrow morning to
greet and accompany the president
on his trip to Memphis. The COM

lily behave as decent citizens.
One newspaper which has itself
strongly advanced this view, gave
prominence to the statement of a cer-
tain man of great wealth to the effect
that the so-called financial weakness
"was due entirely TO the admitted in
tention of President Roosevelt to pun
ish the large moneyed interests which
had transgressed the laws.
No Change of Policy.
l do not admit that this has been
troubles we have had but 1t is pos
sibe that it has been a contributory
cause If so, friends, as far as / am
concerned 1t must be accepted as a
disagreeable but unavoidable feature
in course of policy which as long as
| am president will not be changed.
In any great movement for right
eousness. where the forces of evil are
strongly intrenched, 1t is unfortu-
nately inevitable that some unoffend-
ing people should suffer in company
with the real offenders. This Is not
our fault. 1t is the fault of those to
whose deceptive action these inno-
cent people owe their false position
A year or two ago certain represen-
tatives of labor called upon me and
in the course of very pleasant con-
versation told me that they regarded
me as "the friend of labor" l an
swered that l certainly was, and that
l would do everything in my power
for the laboring man except anything
that was wrong. I have the same an
swer to make to the business man.
| will do everything l can to help
business conditions, except anything
that is wrong.
And 1t would be not merely wrong
but infamous to fail to do all that
can be done to secure the punishment
OF those wrongdoers whose deeds are
peculiarly reprehensible because they
are not committed under the stress Of
want.

Before the close of the year the
American-H Hawaiian Steamship COM
pany will install a direct line of ves
sells between Puget county ports and

sent from this city to New York via

A stop will be made at San Fran
cisco on the way. At present the ves-
sells fthe company sail over the trl-
angular route, going from here to the
Hawaiian islands. Salllngs will be
made often enough to Honolulu to
handle the traffic there.
The first boat OF the fleet to arrive
on the sound will be the Texan which
Is due October /. The Arizona will
follow her October 10, and will be the
first to accept freight from here to
New York as the sugar season has
about closed.
The vessels during the summer
have been carrying only cargoes Of
sugar to Salina Cruz The steamships
Mexican and Alaskan will inaugurate
the direct saillngs to that port. This

The Fort Peck Indian reservation,
in northeastern Montana, and con-
tanning about 100000 acres, or one
half that contained in the Flathead
reservation in northwestern Montana
| is soon to be thrown open to the pub
lie for settlement The Flathead res-
ervatlon will be thrown open next
year. Both contain some OF the fin
est agricultural lands In the state.
A treaty providing for the opening
of the Peck reservation has just been
entered into between James Nc
Laughlin in behalf Of the govern
ment and 379 male Indians In be-
half of the tribes. The Indians
bound by the agreement are the
Sioux and Asslnniboine tribes belong
ing and having rights on the reserva-
tion.
The red men agree to surrender TO
the government all the land within
the reservation provided that allot-
ments of 800 acres each shall first
be made to, every man. woman and
child belonging to or having tribal
rights in the reservation who have
not heretofore received allotments.
1t is further agreed that II the
government irrigates the lands. 40
acres thereof may be included. In
addition, heads OF families and adult
members over Is are allotted the
timber lands within the reservation
bordering along the Missouri river,
and further 160-acre allotments Of
non-irrigable lands are to be made to
each child born to the Indian parties
to the agreement so long as the reds
are In possession Of any unallotted,
tribal or reservation lands
The agreement provides for the ap-
pointment of a commission OF three
to inspect, appraise and value all
lands not allotted or reserved and
that they shall be divided into three
classes-first and second class agri-
cultural lands and grazing.
When this is done the lands shall
be disposed OF under the homestead
and townsite laws OF the United
States, the date to be fixed by the
president. In no case shall the val
uation be less than sl.25 an acre.
After. deducting the expenses, the
funds so received are to be credited
to the Indians by the national treas
urer. and from this $4,000 will be
set aside annually as a pension for
the aged red men. .
AT the end of 15 years the sum re-
naming shall be distributed equally
among the Indians. The land Is sits
uated chiefly in Valley county. and
is watered by the Missouri and Milk
rivers and most advantageously sit
uated for reclamation. That the
opening Of both reservations will a.
tract thousands can not be doubted.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DOWN FATHER
Of WATERS

Keokuk. Iowa, Oct. All Keokuk
lent itself today to the reception OF
President Roosevelt in his two hours
stay here. The population of the city
was multiplied by throngs of sight
seers from the near by sections OF
Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. There
was a general closing of all business
houses and along the route of the
procession from the station to the
stand in Rand Park, where the pres
ident delivered his address. and thence
TO the river wharf the residences and
stores were covered with lavish dec
oratons Of flags and bunting.
The sidewalks and streets were
packed, and at several points the
school children were massed, singing
national songs, as the procession pass
ed.
The president was in excellent
spirits and spoke for an hour. Fol-
lowing is brief resume of his ad-
dress:
Men and Women of Iowa: / am
glad indeed to see you and to speak
to you in this thriving city of your
great and prosperous state. 1 believe
with all my heart in the people Of
Iowa, for I think that you are good,
typical Americans, and that among
you there has been developed to a
very high degree that body Of char
acteristics which we like to regard as
distinctively American.
During the last few years we Of the
United States have been forced to
consider very seriously certain eco
nomic problems. We have made a
beginning in the attempt to deal with
the relations Of the national govern
ment-that IS, with the relations OF
the people OF the country-to the huge
and wealthy corporations, controlled
for the most part by few very rich
men. which are engaged in interstate
business-especially the great railway
corporations You know my views on
this matter.
You know that ! believe that the
national government, in the interests
Of the people, should assume much
the same supervision and control over
the management Of the interstate
common carriers that It now exercises
over the national banks.
You know Furthermore that be-
Iieve that this supervision and control
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-10-01

should be exercised in a spirit OF
rigid fairness toward the corporations
exactlng justice from them on behalf
of the people but giving them justice
in return.
Recently 1 have been reading the
work of the eminent Italian scholar
Ferrero, on the history of the Roman
republic, when the life Of the Roman
state had become that of complex and
luxurious industrial civilization.
am happy to say that the differ
ences between that civilization and
our own are more striking than the
resemblances: and there is no war
rant for our being drawn into any
pessimistic comparison between the
two civilizations.
Must Take Lesson From the Past.
But there is every reason why we
should study carefully the past in or
der to draw from 1t lessons for use
in the present. One OF the most strik-
ing features Of the years which saw
the downfall Of the Roman republic
was the fact that the political life OF
Rome became split between two
camps, one containing the rich who
wished to exploit the poor, and the
other the poor who wished to plum
/ der the rich.
Naturally. under such circumstan-
ces, the public man who was for the
moment successful tended TO be either
violent reactionary or a violent
demagogue. Any such condition OF
political life is as hopelessly unhealthy
now as 1t was then.
Faith in the People.
/ believe 80 implicitly in the future
Of our people, because I believe that
the average American citizen will nc
more tolerate government by a mob
than he will tolerate government by
plutocracy; that he desires to see
justice done to and justice exacted
from rich man and poor man alike
We are not trying to favor any man
at the expense Of his fellows. We are
trying to shape things so that as far
as possible each man shall have fair
chance in life; so that he shall have
so far as by law this can be accom-
plished, the chance to show the stuff
/ that there Is in him.
We have no intention Of trying to
work for the impossible and undesir'
able end Of giving to the lazy, the
