 Roosevelt defended his doctrine O.

 the Ohio Valley exposition here to.
 day. He also commended President
 Taft for his appointment of tw,
 public officers. Colonel Roosevelt:
 day in Cincinnati was one of the
 quietest he has had on his western
 tour. There were no bands to meet
 him and the people of Cincinnati had not chance to see him, except wher
 he was at the exposition grounds ir the afternoon.
 The coloners tour has been se- we're one and it was at his own re quest that the days program was simplified. The colonel left the train at the Torrance road station, a su- burb, and spent the morning at the home of Congressman Longworth his son-in-law. Then he went to the exposition grounds, looked at the ex- hibits. attended a luncheon and de- livered an address in the music hall
 Returning to the Longworth home he held a reception. George B. Cox. the leader of the republican, party of Cincinnati was there and met the colonel. After dinner the colonel went to the opera at the exposition grounds. He spent the night with the LOngworths, and is to leave early tomorrow for Columbus and Pittsburg. He will speak in both cities. From Pittsburg he will go to New York, winding up his west ern trip on Sunday morning.
 Roosevelt. in defending new na- tionalism" replied to those who op- pose his plan of increasing the power of the central government for the purpose of dealing with conservation. the control of corporations and oth- CT questions
 "They say Do not give the gov ernment too much power he said. Certainly not. I do not want to than is necessary. You would not have to have so much power in the national government if you were dealing with individuals none of whom were very rich, but when you get an aggregation of rich individ- uals you must master them through the government.
 Some of the people will say that interferes with individuaIsm. It does not. It is giving the govern ment a chance. The individual has monopoly to be established or per init it to develop that a single man is powerless against it, or can be crushed by it."
 Under the law there has grown up system of enormous monopoly, which, in fact, is the very negation of individualism, and the government is required to curb these great con cerns to permit the average individu- al citizen to retain his rights unim- paired.
 '1 am not speaking in hostility to I recognize the need of the great corporation as a neces- sary instrument in modern individu- alism.'
 Roosevelt endorsed the appointment by President Taft of President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale as head of the commission to investigate the capi- of railroads and of Joseph A. Holmes as chief of the bureau of mines.
 After saying that the men appoint ed to do work for the benefit of the psople should be chosen without re- gard to political affiliations, he con tinued: We have bureau of mines, and President Taft has recently ap- pointed as the head of that bureau the best man that possibly could have been chosen to fill the place-Mr. Holmes, a man whom I know from his professional work, although don't know his politics.
 'I am exceedingly glad the presi- dent has appointed a man like MT. Hadley of Yale to look into the question of railroad capitalization. You will find some worthy people who are willing to have the govern ment look into this question of capi but they want it left to the states to deal with.
 There is an instance of two rail- roads that run from Minnesota west ward to Puget Sound, and they were violating the laws of the government and violating the laws of the states through which they run. The gov started to bring suit against them. It was at once contended that it was a matter for the states, but while the railroads ran through Min
