some FAIR TALK
FROM PRESIDENT EJECT NIL-
LIAM Il. TAFT.
But We Fear It VIII Amount to
Nothing Practically When lie &c.
COMES President.

Cincinnati, O., November s.
Speaking to the Cincinnati CONNER
vial Club, where he has been a mem
Der for fourteen years, William How
ard Taft tonight sounded the keynote
OF prosperity for the county for the
next four years.
Every business man who is obey
ing the law may go ahead with all
the energy In his possession, every
enterprise which Is within the stat
utes may proceed without fear OF in
reference from the Administration
when acting legally, but all interests
within the jurisdiction Of the FED
eral Government may expect a rigid
enforcement Of the laws against dis
honest methods" was the keynote
Of what Mr.. Taft said.
The speech which Nj. Taft de-
livered here tonight created pro
found impression among the business
men of the city who are members
OF the club. The speech was pre-
ceded by expressions Of friendship
and neighborly felicitation on the
part Of the distinguished guest, AMI
was responded to with the greatest
enthusiasm.
Seriously" Judge Taft declared,
"tbe indications are already appar-
ert, and the hopes which I entertain
are that the business communities
and the investors Of both foreign
nations and among our people will
take heart in carrying out the great
enterprises which have been protect
ed, and must be carried to con-
clusion il the country is to reach IT'S
full need Of prosperity and business
attending.
Business men are to be shown tbs
lines OF legality, and are to be d.
rected in keeping with these lines.
which have been emphasized durin'5
the last four years. Business me''
shall know that they are to conform
to the laws upon the statute books
and that no favors are to be expect
ed for those who break the laws.
This shall be so that the men VINO
conduct a legitimate business may
understand that the Government IS
back OF them and does not intend
to do anything to interfere with theE
legitimate advancement.
After the applause which met tee
declaration had subsided. Judge Taft
added:
"It is a question Of the definite
knowledge of the statutes and OF.
their clear understanding which snail
make the honest progress Of our bus
mess possible. And that is, in my
belief, all that is necessary 70 make
that progress substantial and en-
during"
Judge Taft apologized for diree+-
ing his words into sucn serious dis
course.
az know the difficulties that will
arise in my career" he added, AMI
I know that there will be questions
which will arise that I 60 not kno"
of Low, and that times will COM,
when many Of my friends here Will
shake their heads and say, poe:
Bill but all I ask is for suspension
Of judgment until the situation ma
be understood. It's decisions VII!
.sst upon the principles of sound anc
honest business policies. which |
have outlined, and its intricacies MAJ
be ascertained and applied. These
details will, an sure, explain what
may appear to be errors OF 1uog-
ment and mistake -

Former Ice King and Steamship Pro-
moter VIII Serve Term in the
Federal Penitentiary.

Federal Penitentiary.
New York Nov. 6.-Charles ".
Morse, one time ''ice king" steam

city, whose personal fortune a little
more than year ago, was estimated
at more than s22,C0e,000 aud Alfred
H. Curtis, former president OF the
National Bank Of North America,

Tombs prison.
They were convicted yesterday In
the United States court Of viola
ciols Of the national banking laws
in connection with their conduct o.:
the National Bank of North America,
OF which Morse also was an Office.
Today, when they arose, simuita-
neously with hundreds of others in
the grim city prison they faced the
possibility of many years behind
the iron grated doors. This mornins
they arose with the other prisoners.
and partook Of the regulation prison
breakfast.
Morse was sentenced today to If
teen years Imprisonment by Judg:
Housh in the Federal court. Sen
tence on Curtis was suspended.
The sentence on Morse was on the
verdict Of guilty of the misappropria-
ton of the funds Of the National

false entries in the books of that
bank. It is understood that tn"
Atlanta Federal prison will be where
Morse will be confined, IL he goes to

The scene In the court room wher

,usbands and not the wives who

a stole when he heard the words con-
aemning him to prison but the strain
was too great for the women. Mrs
Morse collapsed and Sill sobb1n"

moment later her husband hel7
her in his arms and sought to con-
sole her. Mrs. Curtis tainted.
After granting clemency to th:'
case of Curtis, Judge Housh said:
"In the case Of Morse there is little

cases. crim!na! legality Is only part
OF the larger general scheme. lr
his case it was to use the bank and
the depositors' money for specula-
i've purposes. If such schemes were
permitted to be carried out the pub

HAVE Big PULL
WITH THE REPUBLICAN POST
OFFICE AUTHORITIES.
Postoffice on Rockefeler's Barony
Kept Running While Poor Mans
Postoftice is Closed.

You can't beat the Rockefelle,
pull with the Roosevelt government
says a dispatch from Utica, New
York. The dispatch goes on to say:
My Dear Senator" writes the
Standard Oil messenger boy, and
like magic disagreeable little fea.
lures OF proposed legislation are
eliminated.
The latest servant Of the "peepul
to hot foot to the assistance Of Amer.
cans richest family is Postmaster
General Won L. Meyer. No one has
been kind enough to "swipe" the
secret correspondence in this latest
Standard Oil scandal, but p'raps the
messenger boys epistle to the post
master general read something like
this:
My Dear General: At your ear
Vest convenience please have the
postofice at Derrick, N. Y, closed,
and the postohce at Bay Pond, n.
Y, continued. Mr William Rock
efeller's friends and servants would
be greatly inconvenienced II there
were no postofhce at Bay Pond, Der
rick is not important.
This will be greatly appreciated
and if we can reciprocate it will be
our pleasure. Yours sincerely,
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD."
Bing! Bang! That sound comes
from the closing doors Of the little
Derrick Office.
William Rockefeller owns hunt
ing park in the Adirondacks of So
600 acres. Bay Pond is the station.
Armed guards are employed the year
around to keep trespassers from en-
tering the sacred precincts Of the
enormous estate. Persons who have
dared to fish IN the Rockefeller riy-
ers or climb the Rockefeller noun
tains have been arrested and fined.
William Rockefeller has spent less
than one month at this estate during
the nine years that he has owned L..
But his children go there and fish
from streams stocked by the state,
and shoot deer that are driven or
lured into the. park by the Rookie
feller guards.
The lust of possession Is the only
explanation that has been made Of
Rockefeller's reason for holding the
great nonproducing tract which he
never sees, but Is mainly used by
servants in his employ.
Derrick Is seven miles from Bay
Pond, inhabited by % families. It
seems that the postal aothorities de-
cided that either the postoffce at
Derrick or the one at Bay Pond
would have to be discontinued. At
Bay Pond there is one family-that
of William Rockefeller. And, OF
course, the % families Of Derrick
got the worst Of the new deal.
There is indignation among them.
They must now go to Bay Pond FOR
their mail. How to do that and not
be fined for trespass is puzzle they
have not yet solved. To reach the
Bay Pond postofice they have either
to step on Rockefeller land or walk
down the track Of Rockefeller's New
York Central railroad. In either
case armed guards or railroad de-
tectives might ketch 'em. The pen
atty for trespass is S25 and costs.
Derrtck's people have petitionel
the postmaster general to reopen
their postofice.
