NO WATER, SAYS RIPLEY
Most Railroad Stock Legitimate,
Says Santa Fe Head.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 27.-E P. Ripley.
president of the Santa Fe Railroad in an
address tonight before a mass meeting of
citizens said: The theory of watered stock
IS to-day untrue as to most OF the railroads
of the country, and particularly untrue as
10 the Santa Fe."
Discussing the relations between the rail
roads and the general public. he said:
How has the duty of the public to the
railroad been performed, and does the pub
lie owe any duties 10 the railroad? The
answer TO this question will vary with the
views OF him who is asked. but ali would
probably agree as a general principle that
the public owes the railroad:
''First-Protection for its property
.Second-Freedom from interference with
its business methods as long as they are
clean and honest.
This is all we ask We do not seek 70
evade legitimate responsibilities
We do not want TO be above the law
and We accept reasonable regulation of
but by what authority do your state Off
Gals proclaim that the railroads are earn
ing too much and that rates must he re-
duced?
The people are giving more thought to
the railroad question now than they ever
did before That is hopeful sign. When
the people give attention to both sides of d
problem they become mere liberal in their
views"

TAFT PRAISED BY DEPEW
Senator Advises Voters to Stick
to Republican Party.

Speaking at White Plains, where for the
first time. ffty-four years ago, he upheld
the Republican party, and later at Bronx
vile, Senator Chauncey NJ Depew recalled
yesterday that II was just half a century
since the Republican party obtained power
under Abraham Lincoln. The party had
remained III power ever since, he added,
except for the brief period of the Cleve-
land terms.
The record Of constructive legislation in
that period, said the Senator. was one
that could not have been equalled in older
countries in a thousand years. President
Taft and Congress, he said. had done
ton than any other Congress since George
Washington was President.
Taft is the only President in my time -
he said, who believes that a platform is
a thing 10 be lived up to-a thing TO stand
on, not just to get In IN" Later he said {:
When 1 was president of a railroad, ff-
teen years ago, railroad president was
a pretty big chap. He could do almost
anything he wanted TO. Now all he can
90 is run his road. The government con-
trolls the railroads so far as their vital
powers are concerned"
Senator Depew warned the voters that if
the Democrats gained power they would
so gerrymander the state that only one
Republican Congressman could be elected
in this city and they would lose eleven in
the state.
Representative John E. Andrus and Sen
ator J. Mayhew Wainwright also spoke
at both meetings. which were we'll attend

NO 0VERTURES FROM CANADA
Dominion Minister Says People
Are Not Eager for Reciprocity.

Boston. Oct 27.-"Any proposals the
United States may make for reciprocity
with Canada will receive careful consider
alton from the Dominion government, but
the attitude of the Canadian people now Is
to let well enough alone"
This WAS the opinion expressed BY Sir
Frederick ". Borden, Minister of Militia
and Defence Of Canada. AT the Intercolo-
NAL Club tonight.
In view of the constant rebuffs which
the Canadian statesmen have received from
the United States in their efforts to secure
more amicable tariff relations" he said,
Canada will make no overtures to this
country. and any reciprocity treaty which
the United States may offer will have TO
be for the best interests of all Canadians
before il will be adopted"
Sir Frederick said that the predominant
note in public affairs in Canada to-day
is contentment with its present lot and the
hope that the future may bring forth clos
er relations with the mother country.
