Secretary Taft headed the list OF
speakers, but did not speak until after
II O'clock. He was greeted with a
hearty round of cheers which lasted
fully five minutes when he rose.
After reviewing the administra-
tion's policy toward national expan-
sion, Mr.. Taft said:
president Roosevelt has brought
forward for the practical consideration
Of the people Of the United States a
domestic danger to our institutions
and our civilization that was sapping
the moral foundations OF our society
and threatening to make us q plutoc-
racy in which those who had wealth
and industrial success were to be
placed In privileged class and given
practical exemption from the opera
tions OF the law. ss3a
These abuses, insofar as they af-
feet interstate commerce. were In the
teeth OF two great federal statutes,
the interstate commerce law and the
antitrust law. By an appeal to the
people and stirring messages to con-
gress, President Roosevelt secured
the passage Of the socalled rate bill.
"The rate bill is not even now as
perfect as 1t might be. Much remains
to be done. But one great object OF
the presidents reform has been ac-
complished. As a moral warning II
served notice on the great railway
corporations and upon the great in
dustrial combinations that from this
time on the practice Of ignoring the
two great statutes to which have re.
ferred must cease. Today they are
practically no rebates and there is
practically no discrimination, by the
railroads in favor Of any large ship

in this way but none Of them, with the
exception Of Miss Isola, was fatally
hurt. The building was ruined, re-
