is interesting to note that the
Secretary's views with regard
to the character OF securities
accords perfectly with the Pre-
sident's belief that the govern
ment should supervise the issue
of railroad securities and thus
protect the investor from fraud.
It is also significant that the far

E. Fl. Hartman takes the same
view of the financial situation as
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Harrison de-
clares that this country has it's

Secretary Taft has completed
his trip across the continent
and sailed for Manila which he
will reach. after all, in time to
open the PHILIPPINE Congress. He
will spend nearly month in the
islands, and then to save time,
will return by way of the Trans
Siberian Railroad, which makes
the trip about ten days shorter
than via the Pacific. From all
r eports the Secretary has had
an enthusiastic reception in the
west and statesmen from that
section are a unit in declaring
that he will have every western
delegation in the next Republi-

the hope of the President who re-

fitted by sympathy, character
and experience to take up the
