NO COMPLAINTS ON
EASTERN TARIFFS

Warrington June 3.-Attorney General
Wickersham said at the close of business
hours at the department of justice to-
day that he had not received any COM
plants touching the railroad freight
tariffs filed with the interstate commerce
commission fixing rates in the territory
east Of the Mississippi river.
"The government is not taking any initi-
ative for the purpose of ascertaining the
manner in which the new rates were de-
termined," said he.
Presumably the course of the govern
ment will be to await the filing of a COM
plant as was done against the rates made
by the Western Traffic association on
western trunk line territory, where Omaha
shippers charged agreements or con-
spiracy in fixing the tariffs filed with the
Interstate commerce commission. 1t was
pointed out ut the department today
that shippers have not yet had time to
examine carefully the new rates so as to
be able to ascertain their full extent and
character.

Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech was ana
lying British rule in Egypt then. He
declared Great Britain had given the
best government the country had had in
1000 years. but in certain vital points it
lad erred. "Those who have to do with
uncivilized peoples, especially fanatical
peoples said he, must remember that
in such a situation as that which faces
you in Egypt, weakness, timidity and
sentimentality may cause infinitely more
harm than vigorousness and justice.
Sentimentality is the most broken reed
upon which righteousness can lean"
To the objector to the use of the word
'sentimentality' Mr. Roosevelt writes:
Dear Sir: regard sentiment as the
exact antithesis of sentimentality, and
to substitute sentiment for sentimental
ity in my speech would directly contro-
vert my meaning. / abhor sentimental
