NOTICE ON

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES NO LET

aieb MaIefAg6g Government VIII
Not Waiver In Attitude Toward
Their Punishment.

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, Aug. 20
President Roosevelt, in his speech al
the unwilling of the Puritan monu
ment today, served notice on Wall
street that there would be no let-up
in the administration policy toward
corporations.
During the present trouble with
the stock markets." he said, Il have,
of course received countless requests
and suggestions, public and private,
that I should say or do something to
ease the situation.
There is a worldwide financial dis
turbance. II is felt in the bourses
of Paris and Berlin, and British con-
soils are lower while prices of railway
securities have also deprecated.
"On the New York stock exchange
the disturbance has been particularly
severe. Most of it | believe to be due
to matters not particularly confined to
the United States, and to matters
wholly unconnected with any govern
mental action, but it may we'll be that
the determination of the government,
In which, gentleman, it will not waver,
to punish certain malefactors OF great
wealth, has been responsible for some
thing of the troubles, at least to the
extent of having to bring about as
much financial stress as they possibly
can in order to discredit the policy OF
the government and thereby 10 secure
reversal of that policy So that they
may enjoy the fruits of their evil
doing.
That misled many good people into
believing there should be reversal OF
policy if possible. If so, | am sorry,
but | will not alter my attitude.
Once for all, let me say that, as
far as | am concerned, and for the
eighteen months of my administration
that remain, there will be no change
IN the policy we have steadily pursued,
no let-up in the effort to secure the
honest observance of the law, for / re-
gard this contest as one to determine
who shall rule this government-the
1eople, through their governmental
agents. or a few ruthless and deter
mined men whose wealth makes them
formidable because they
tide behind the breastworks of corpo-
ate organization.
Il wish there to be no mistake on
his point 1t is idle to ask me not to
rosecute criminals, rich or poor. II

tons for the American continent
where, owing to its being denuded OF
forests, he maintains that the earth is
rapidly drying up. He draws his con-
illusions not only from such phe-
nomena as the receding of glaciers,
but from the carefully conducted ex-
periments IN springs and rivers in
various parts Of the world. Hennig
says. I'm nearly every country Of
Europe the supply Of spring water
and generally Of subterranean mois-
ture is rapidly decreasing. Our grand
children will begin to feel the want
OF spring water In many places where
now there is a IN abundant supply. One
Of the main reasons why hitherto the
