Thus spoke Senator La Toilette in
the third and final installment of his
memorable speech against the AL
drich Currency bill.
filings Charge Back at Critics.
His assertion that the industries of
the whole country are controlled by
fewer than 100 men had been at
tackled as sensational.
He took up the charge and flung it
back in the teeth of his critics.
On the contrary, he declared, he
had been too conservatives much
smaller number of men rule the ma
tiOns wealth.
The Senator quoted John Moody
to show an enormous growth in trust
consolidation and capitalization in
four years. In 1904 Mr.. Moody
placed the capitalization of the in
dustrial franchises and railroad
trusts at over SEC, 200, 900. 900. That
amount had increased more than
$11 900 100000, or more than fifty
five per cent. The $31, 900, 1000 900,
he said, did not represent the finan-
ciai combinations, banks, trust and
insurance companies.
Mr.. La Toilette named as next af-
ter Morgan and the Rockefellers a
group of fourteen men, who. he said,
were big operators and men of large
power and interests in their own
rights"
In Harmony With big Two"
These men, he said, find their best
interests in working in harmony
with Morgan and Standard OIL" No
combination which they could form
among themselves or with others
could cope with that power, he de-
clared.
Here are the fourteen:

How Message Was Received.

Washington, D. C.-The special
Message from the President was close
ly followed in both branches of Con-
gress. In the House the declaration
that the time had come for re-
vision of the tariff elected handicap
ping on the part of Democratic mem
bers. Democratic approval also was
given by way of pounding desks to
the suggestion that Congress could
with advantage forthwith remove the
tariff on wood pulp. with corre-
spending reduction upon paper made
from wood pulp The Republicans
waited and confined the applause to
the message as a whole.
In the Senate the message was re-
ceiyed without comment of any kind.
Discussion of the message turns
chiefly on the question whether Con-
gress will carry out any considerable
part of it's recommendations. The
general impression is that an employ
ers liability law will be passed, that
an investigation of tariff schedules
will be ordered, and that the Aldrich
currency bill will be put through;
but that it is very doubtful if Con-
gress will go any further at this SEES
sion 1t is pretty generally conceded
that the bill to modify the Sherman
law cannot get through, and that no
anti-injunction legislation is likely,

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE
Urges Congress to Enact Legis.
lation Deemed Essential.
PROHIBITION or CHILD LABOR
The Country's Interest Demands
Tariff and Currency Changes,
an Antitrust Act and an FIN.
pIoyers' Liability Bill.

Washington, D. president
Roosevelt transmitted to Congress
his promised special message urging
certain legislation which he deems
essential to the country's best inter
ests at this time
The message is marked by suav-
tty of expression which may be
termed unique in communications OF
this sort from Mr.. Roosevelt.
After the vigorous excoriatfon Of
some weeks ago, members could
hardly believe it possible that all
trace of the big stick could be SO
carefully concealed.
A large part of the message is
given to the Civic Federation's bill,
introduced in the House by Mr.. Hep
burn, to modify the Sherman anti
trust act, and the President points
out what changes he deems desirable
and necessary.
Give railroads the right, under
certain limitations, to make traffic
agreements, he urges, and change the
law as to receiverships
Alter the provisions that render
Illegal combinations of labor men
and farmers and recognize strikes as
legal.
But nothing should be done, de-
clares the President, to legalize
either blacklist or boycott that
would be Illegal at common law.
The message then says: THE ques-
ton of financial legislation is now
receiving such attention in both
Houses that we have a right to ex-
pect action before the close of the
session. 1t is urgently necessary that
there should be such action. More
over, action should be taken to es-
tablish postal savings banks. These
postal savings banks are imperative
ly needed for the benefit of the wage
workers and men of small means and
will be a valuable adjunct to our
whole financial system.
THE time has come when we
should prepare for revision of the
tariff. This should be, and indeed
must be, preceded by careful inyesti-
CATION"
President Roosevelt then suggests
that proper committee be delegated
to gather the facts necessary for
tariff revision at the next session
of Congress. He then continues:
II am of the opinion, however,
that one change in the tariff could
with advantage be made forthwith.
Our forests need every protection and
one method of protecting them would
be to put upon the free list wood
pulp, with a corresponding reduc-
ton upon paper made from wood
pulp, when they come from any
country that does not put an export
duty upon them
Other recommendations by the
President are:
Prohibition of child labor through
out the nation
Re-enactment of an employers
liability bill. drawn to conform to
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court.
Modification of the law affecting
injunctions in labor disputes.
Creation of permanent water
ways commission.

4 black bear owned by p ]. Tyre OF

that the bear will be able to take care
of himself and perhaps of one or more
hunters. Mr.. Tyre has written to
North Adams friends suggesting that
mothers be cautioned to keep their
children indoors the day Of the bear
hunt and that farmers would do well
TO watch their stock at that time. Mr..
Tyres bear hunt is not contemplated
