unbounded. Great coal. copper and
gold deposits have been found, and
even greater wealth seems In store
for the United States In other res
poets.

the revenue tax on sugar and tobac-

NEW YORK. Nov. e.-Hsnry
Clews, in an address last night before
the Economic Club of New Haven,
spoke on the subject, rs the Policy
of President Roosevelt Toward Cap
ital sound?"
Mr.. Clews' address was remarka-
BILE because he took a view OF the
question different from that suppos-
ed to be commonly held In Wall
street. He said in part:
Recent events have shown that
drastic action was necessary to ih-
sure square deal at all. Mr.. Roose-
welt is not attacking capital, but he
is attacking those in control of cor
porations who have misused their
power and position to do illegal acts
and presumably for their personal
profit. Confidence received blow af-
ter blow from this source before get
ting another rude shock through
the exposures resulting from the Met
ropolitan Securities investigation,
and the action of the New York
clearing house with regard to the
Heinze and Morse banks.
ut is now over two years since
public disclosures of this kind as
well as Of railway rebating began,
followed by the collapse of the cop
per manipulation, and recently, by
the scandals connected with the New
York traction situation. No wonder,
therefore, that confidence is seriously
disturbed. And who is responsible? ?
Not President Roosevelt and Mr..
Hughes, the famous life insurance In
vestigator, who have been instru-
ments of exposures, but the indlvldu-
ais who conceived and conducted
these unlawful operations. OF course

upon those who, in the discharge Of
the duties of their high ofices, have

Values More Stable

1T becomes daily more evident
that when all our railway and indus
trial corporations are known to be
honestly managed, and when stock
holders and investors get their due,
values will be more stable, and Amer
lean credit which is now at a low
ebb in all the great financial centers
of the world, will be restored to its
rightful plane.
That President Roosevelt should
be blamed in any way for the bank
ing troubles, business failures and
losses that have been made In the
stock market is unfair; but IL is al
ways the case that the executive in
Office bears the brunt Of whatever
disasters of the kind occur during his
administration.
Those of us whose hair is no
longer black, brown. sandy or red
or very abundant-can well remem-
Der the calumny and evil reports that
were heaped upon the broad should
ers of the we'll beloved Abraham
Lincoln. The noble cause he fought
| for cost millions of lives and billions
of dollars, and of course there were
very many who suffered at that time
by the war. OF these, many were
most bitter In their denunciation OF
President Lincoln. and this nearly
broke the heart of that great man
but did not for a moment cause hin
to desist in the work he saw II hi
duty to perform to the end. Today
those who tradueed him join freely
with the whole nation in doing homo
to his memory. President Roosevelt
may be severe in the frankness will
which he reiterates his intention Il
punish those who break the law; bu
in the distant future the world a
large will remember him az one wit
dared to suffer under unjust denun
citation for the sake Of right, AM
even now the great mass of the peo
pie are with him in his efforts q
improve and purify business condi
