not encounter any signs Of hostility, and
he did not meet a reception 70 be &C.
scribed as wild.
Cincinnati turned out in numbers. and
the colonel followed the plans as they
had been laid out That was all.
Mr.. Roosevelt took occasion twice in
his speech before a big audience in Music
Hall this afternoon to say kind word
for the President He spoke Of the estab-
Ishment by Congress OF a bureau or
mines and he referred 10 the commission
appointed by Mr.. Taft 70 look into such
matters as the capitalization and stocks
OF railroads. These things he didn't dwell
on. but he mentioned them simply 10

ministration had done well The applause

More OF NatiOnnIism.
| Ths colonel didn't lose an opportunity
to-day 10 further the cause OF the new
! nationallsm. He spoke OF it in connec-
ton with the regulation Of corporations.
and in regard 70 conservation. He said
that he believes the government must
have power 10 deal with such matters
rather than the individual States Those
who tried 20 stir up trouble for the colo

B. Cox. Garry Hermann. and Rud
Hyniclxs had been invited TO attend the
reception at Representative Longworth's

objection TO these men. calling at the
home OF his son-in-law. He said that he
did not place Boss Cox IN the same cate
CORY with Senator Lorimer. whom he
snubbed yesterday In Chicago.
4 The colonel expressed the opinion there
is no comparison or similarity between
the two men, for Cox does not hold pub
lie Office. and is not under the suspicion
OF any corruption charges: that is. so far
as he knows. He was quite willing 20
meet Cox and the others. just as he Is
willing 20 meet Barnes and the old guard
in New York.
The colonel took up the matter OF con-
Iservauon because he had been discussing
the problem OF waterways in connection
with the work being done on the Ohio.
He hoped that at no distant time the
national authorities will take UP serious

Gulf

ANY such scheme. OF course. must be
entered into as a genuinely national pol

the Ohio or the Mississippi a little in
consideration Of also developing other
streams that ought not 10 be developed
a little"
He declared again that our great rivers
and harbors must be dealt with nation
ally. This IS necessary in all conserva-
tion work. OF which the development OF
the waterways Is the feature. Mr.. Roose-
welt exclaimed that this does not fit in
with the administrations view, and there
were a good many Cincinnati folks who
were not backward IN commenting on It
Mr.. Roosevelt came out for a non
partisan selection OF men 70 handle the
conservation problems.
AT last we have a bureau OF Mines"
he said. established by Congress-

ways it must be treated IN connection
with the development and the use OF
other natural resources. and President
Taft has recently appointed as the head
OF the bureau the best man that could
be possibly chosen to fiji the place-AIr.
Holmes-a man whom I know in connec-
ton with his professional work well

for the ofice. but whom I do not know
any other way well enough even TO know
what his politics are"
There we're slams and jabs at the cor
porations that are wicked in the typical
way which caught the audience. When
he said he wants TO see the capitalization
OF all these great corporations doing an
Interstate business supervised by the ma

"And I am exceedingly glad he went
on. that the President has appointed a
commission with Mr. Hadley Of Yale at
the head 10 look into that question. You
will ind some worthy people who say:
Lcok into it, perhaps. but It should be

the edge OF a dozen different States. You
cannot have the capitalization looked
after In each State for that same com
