ALLING BEFORE
 ECONOMIC CLUB
Vigorously Attacks the Policy of President Roosevelt
 Toward Capital.
FATAL FIXING OF RATES
Power Taken from Railroads, Their Properties Began to Decline and Credit
 Disappear.

Attorney John W. filling spoke last night, at the annual banquet of the Economic club, against the policy Of President Roosevelt. His address was on the general subject "Is the Policy of President Roosevelt Toward Capital Sound ?"
 MT. filling said, in part;
 My policy''-not necessarily that of the Republican party-but my policy" for the carrying out of which I pledge my power as presi- dent during my term, and shall see to 1t that my successor shall be pres ident who will also carry it out, is that the federal government shall have and exercise the power to control, regulate and restrain large business wealth engaged in interstate com merce." Mir. filling after quoting Pres ident Roosevelt continued:
 President Roosevelt mas succeeded in creating the bureau of incorpora- tions; in procuring power in the in

at hand the Antitrust Act of 1890, commonly, but enormously, called the
 Sherman Act. It prohibits all combin-
 ations in restraint of trade.
 Yet it is mainly under this act that his star prosecutions against the beef packers in Chicago, the Standard oil
 and the American Tobacco Company
 have been conducted.
 Now the beef packers in Chicago dld combine to get rebates; at least until the Elkins Act of 1903, and probably later. The administration procured a decree under the Antitrust Act. that the packers should cease combining in
 restraint of trade. Then Mir Garfield
 the chief of the Bureau of Incorpora- tions, was sent to investigate the beef packing industry. His report was en- tirely favorable. It conclusively show
 cd that their vast business had been carried on in a reasonable manner and for moderate and reasonable profits But the investigation disclosed to MT Garfield Gas is allegedl the rebate prac.
 tices of the packers. Ills report on that subject had never been made public

generally go through the tailing off period of prosperity without explosive panics, and we do sometimes.
 But we have a banking system un- der the regulation, control and re- straint of the United States. Ever since Andrew Jackson'e time it has been under condemnation by banking and financial experts. There is not time to point out why it continues to exist, except to say that the popular idea Is that the banks shall not have the power to issue currency which they ought to have, and which in pe- riods of direst disaster they substan- italy exercise without authority, in the issue of Clearing House certifi- cate currency; while on the other hand, banks are not unwilling to avail themselves of such periods in order to get much higher rates of interest. But the admitted and long continued incapacity of the United States to successfully regulate the banking business ought to be warning against extending that incapacity to other fields of operation.
 No other nation has such spasms of 20, 50, 75, and 100 per cent. money as we have had for two generations.
 So l conoede there is more danger here, in the winding up of period of prosperity, of a financial panic than elsewhere, and that it might and has heretofore occurred without the aid of our President.
 There have been only three large public scandals; the Consolidated Gas of New York. the Life Insurance companies in New York, and the Traction systems in New York. In neither of these has President Roose- welt taken any part, nor could he.
 Consolidated Gas, after going through two severe investigations, one Legislative and the other judicial-the last one over year in duration, has come out triumphant in the report of the master appointer by the court to ascertain the facts.
 I have no doubt of the result of the pending trial upon that report, ex- cept that as notice a new Roose- veltian judge is to decide the case.
 But neither nor all of these scand- als could have caused the existing general impairment of credit.
 It is now about three years ago. In

it had, and though he pays the rate of freight stated by the carrier, with out asking or expecting or intending to get rebate, yet, if the rate offered differs from the rate filed, though the shipper does not know It, yet the fed- eral statute k violated, and the ship per may be fined twenty-nine millions of dollars-a monstrous sum, such as one victorious belligerent state might impose on the defeated state, and that, too, in face of the federal constitution which forbids excessive lines and pen- altIes.
 The Standard Oil company is the fin- est business organization in the world. It employs 65,0OO laborers. It has nev- CT had labor strike. It does not owe dollar by way of bond or debenture, and has no floating debt. The volume of it's business has always been, and is enormous.

It would seem that an attack on a property like that should be based up- on serious and substantial reasons, af- fecting the general public. know of no alleged reason except the "bigness" of the company.
 President Roosevelt has shown him. self bitterly hostile to large corporate wealth. His aim has been to break it up. He has availed himself of federal statutes, not so much to enforce them, as to destroy large business wealth. He has dlsdained all party policy, In his grand, lofty way it has always been my policy"
 The constitution has not stood in his way. He has thrown aside the settled rule of it's construction since the Unit ed States was created,
 MT. Roosevelt is ignorant that flnan- cial credit, trust and confidence are the pillars which support the glorious temple of popular comfort, convenience, philanthropy and well-being and, like the blind Samson, he would pull down those pillars so as to secure the de- struction of his real or imaginary Phil istlnes.
 It is true he is immensely popular
 with the masses. So were the leaders of the old Crusades against the unspeak- able Turk. They did not do much harm to the Turk. but they brought i untold misery on their blind followers. MT. Roosevelt is essentially like those old Crusade leaders. Powerful, arro- gant, conceited, with a halo of heavens | ly inspiration, born leader, bound
 by no party ties, himself the whole I thing,p in search of valiant deeds,
 claiming a supernatural power to de- tect and uncover and punish the
 wealthy malefaetor," followed, as he thinks, by the whole people-he is the most dangerous force to constitutional liberty that has ever existed in this country.
 The financial panic calls for an opinion as to how far "my policies" are responsible for 1t.
 Long continued worldwide prosper ity naturally leads to over-expansion, dangerous speculation, strained credit and high rates of interest, and conse- quent depreciation in the security market But if the banking and 3monetary system and general business conditions are sound, other countries

Making q Hat Smaller.

A large hat may easily be made
smaller In this day, when bias bands
on the edge are fashionable. When
the rim has been cut 1t should first be
bound with tarlatan SO the rough straw
viii not cut through the ribbon. The
strips should form a true bias and be
wide enough to turn in about a quar-
ter Of an inch On each side after the
binding is on. An inch on each side OF
the brim Is the approved width, though
this is more or less q matter Of taste.
Be careful In cutting. especially II vel
vet Is used, to match the pieces care
fully 80 that the nap and material run
the same way. Measure the amount
that Just fits the hat, sew II together
at the end and at over the brim,
stretching II In the middle and being
careful not to stretch the sides or II
VIII pucker. When measured sew the
ends together and snap over the brim.
Turn In the edges on both sides and
blind stitch on. Be sure the seams
come at each side. A binding may also
be put on by sewing one side rather
tightly to the top Of the brim and then
turning over and blind stitching on the
under side, but the first way Is more
satisfactory.
