WELCOME IN KANSAS CITY
Late Special Message to Con-

Call to Renewed Support Of
Administrations

HuIllllllSlI dllUlIi
IBy Morning journal SDecinI Leased Wire
Kansas City, Mo, Feb William
H. Taft. secretary Of war, was given
memorable ovation by $4,000 peo.
pie in Conventional hail tonight, when
he was the guest of honor and princi-
pal speaker at the most elaborate ban
quet ever attempted in this city given
by the Association of Young Repub-
licans Of Missouri and attended by
1900 persons, many of whom came
from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and different Missouri cities. The
demonstration accorded Secretary Taft
when he entered the great banquet
hall and again when he rose to speak
has never been surpassed by the vel
come given any public man in
the history of this city, Each of the
1900 banqueters paid $3.50 for the
privilege of attending, but the balco-
MES OF the hall were free to the pub
lie, and long before the speaking be-
gan standing room in the hall was at
a premium. Secretary Taft's speech
was a general defense Of the repub-
lican party and especially of the poll
cies brought to the fore by the admin
istration of Theodore Roosevelt In
eulogiztng Lincoln, the speaker said
that Lincoln was a party man, As all
men must be who expect to leave
their individual impress upon the po-
litical character of the nation. Speak
ing of the recent panic and the pres-
dents late special message to congress
the secretary said:
THE message he said, contains
an answer to the charges that the ad-
ministratlon is responsible for the in
dustrial depression, and the sharpness
and emphasis with which this un-
founded attack is met, have hcartcncd
the great body of the people as bu-
gle call to renewed support Of the
policies of the administration
Secretary TAFT referred to views
prejudiced by corporations and said
that conviction has seized the people
that there were many engaged in the
management of corporation wealth
who regarded the statutes as dead let
ters and themselves as privileged
class.
We were passing into "a regime Of
an irresponsible plutocracy,' said he.
During the last four years there has
been a great moral awakening TO TINS
danger among the people, and pop
ular demand that the laW-brcaKers-
no matter how wealthy or how high
or powerful their position-shalI be
made to suffer Under the leadership
of Theodore Roosevelt the republican
party has not faltered in its deter
minaton to meet the requirements of
this situation. and to enact such legis-
Iation as may be necessary to bring
to a close this period of Illegal corpor-
ate immunity. There are those who
have been members Of the republican
party VINO differ with Mr.. Roosevelt
in respect to the proper course D be
taken IN stamping out these abus oi

the republican party. however, stands
solidly at his back in the work which

The building of the Ocean Shore Railway
is progressive undertaking. Its owners have
already spent over 100000 of their own
money and over 100000 received from the
sale of bonds in this great work
The terminal facilities and the San Francisco real
estate owned by the Ocean Shore Of immense i'm
portance to this any other railroad.
This property is in the heart OF San Francisco and
will be worth in dollars great deal more than the.
total amount OF the bond issue.
None but experienced railroadmen appreciate
comprehend the great value of adequate railroad
terminal facilities in large cities.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is spending over $780,,
100000 to get into New York city.
The Ocean Shore is already in the heart of
San Francisco, and in right, with large realty
holdings at Eleventh and Twelfth and Mission
and Market streets, together with private
right of way clear through to the county line.
The bonds of the Ocean Shore railroad are secured
by S5.000OO0 mortgage on the entire assets OF the
company.
This mortgage is held in for the bond holders
by the Mercantile Trust Company OF San Francisco
Every dollar received from the sale of bonds goes into
the road and increases its value and security the
bond holders.
Railroad bonds are considered by every
bank, savings bank, trust company, insurance
company, estate and fnancier as the very
highest grade of security.
During the panic of last November the government
the support of the national banks by loanng
them money and taking security railroad bonds
Railroad bonds are better than mortgage because
the face value OF the note secured by mortgage
increases in value, is the interest always paid
promptly.
Ocean Shore bonds at 500 today will probably be
worth S100 to Sl20 the road is entirely
completed.

gradually were forced down by water
competition from the Atlantic seaboard
until 75 cents a hundred pounds was
reached. This rate was not considered
reasonable, and as the competition from
the Atlantic seaboard on account of the
depletion of the forests in the east had
become normal, the rate was advanced
to So cents. SO far as can be deter
mined, this advance has not curta1led
