Sees No Occasion to Amplify
His Attitude OH Rail and
Financial Questions
EVENTS JUSTIFY HIS COURSE
Reiterates That Evils Come From Re-
bate System and overcapitaiization-
Railroads Must Be Protected From
Vicious Legislation and Protected
When They Are in the Right.

Washington, April president
Roosevelt, in declining the invitation OF
the Illinois Manufacturers Association
! to make an address at Springfield next
week on the railroad and financial sit
uation, has written letter to c. III.
Smith, president of the association, ex-
planning that such an address from him
at this time would be useless. as his
, position was we'll understood and as ne
stands by his previously expressed
| views.
From an authoritative source, 1t is
learned that the president has not the
| slightest intention of taking any ac-
ton which would invalidate railroad
securities. The president holds. on the
other hand. that every executive action
of his administration regarding rail-
roads has furnished its own ample
justification. Neither has the president,
it is pointed out, made any reference to
/ the physical valuation OF the railroads,
holding the roads capable of working
out that problem for themselves. At
tention is called to the fact that the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads already have submitted figures
regarding such valuation. Also it is
well understood that the president
again will ask congress for power to
deal with over-capitaliZation of roads,
which request was denied at the late
session.
The president, in the letter to Smith,
outlines at length his position on the
railroad and financial question, by
means of copious extracts from his
speech he delivered at Raleigh, n. c.,
Oct. 10. 1905, and another from the
speech delivered at Washington Nov.
IA, 1905 and from his late messages
to congress. His position since the
time of his addresses and messages
the president declares, has been am
wisdom is obvious, he adds, and there
is no occasion or reason for amplifica-
ton at present.
Quoting from his Raleigh address,
the president calls attention TO his be-
lief tnat the government SHOulQ own
nothing which can properly be left in
private hands, but that such regula-
lions should be exercised against rail-
roads as to insure their operation in
spirit of fairness to all concerned.
Whatever power the government wields
must be wisdom, caution and self-re-
straint The railroads, he declares,
must be protected from any public
clamor, no matter how violent, when
the roads are in the right.
Referring to his Washington address.
the president says railroad rates arc
not as whole too high. but that evils
that exist are due to unjust discrim-
ination, and this should be prevented
by law. In quoting from his messages
to congress, the president outlines
again his we'll known views favoring
effective government supervisions over
corporate organizations, holding that
any effort to prevent all combinations
would be useless and vicious He also
justifies the new interstate commerce
commission law.

FRANCE AND OUR TARIFF
United States Will Grant the French
Republic Amy Privileges That
Are Given TO Germany.

Washington, May although the
recommendation from Ambassador
White at Paris that tariff commits
sion be appointed by the United States
to endeavor to effect an arrangement
with the French government. such as
was made in the case of Germany, has
not come before the state department
formally, it can be announced that If
the French government desires such a
commission there will be no Opposi-
ton in Washington.
AS the agitation in France over the
United States tariff seems to be based
in part upon fear that Germany will
win certain advantages through the
arrangements acted upon favorably
by the upper house in Berlin, it may
be announced that the state depart
ment is prepared to grant to France
any privileges accorded to Germany,
provided the concessions are equal on
| both sides.

WOULD ABOLISH ATHLETICS
President PlantZ, of Lawredce Uni
versity, Objects to the College
Wells and Drinking.

Appleton, Wis, May DIR. Samuel
Plantz, president of Lawrence univer-
sity, would abolish athletic contests of
every character from the colleges and
universities of the state for three
years. He is not opposed to the athle-
tic contests themselves, but to the ac-
cessories betting and the drink
ing and the college yells.
DIR. Plantz says that too much time
and too much spirit are devoted to the
yells, and they often cause hard feel
ings between the colleges or universe
ties. Dr. Plantz says he does not in
tend to prohibit athletic contests at
Lawrence, unless the other colleges
and universities Of the state would do
likewise.
