Kenyon Draws Comparison.

The president had to be bit diplo-
matte in situation which seemed
charged with electricity. when Sena-
tor KENYON. in Introducing him at
Fort Dodge, the home of both Kenyon
and his predecessor, the late Jona-
than P. Dolliver, drew comparison
between the Roosevelt and Taft ad-
ministrations in the administering of
the Sherman antitrust law, much to
the advantage of the latter. Senator
Kenyon was connected with some of
the big trust cases as assistant to the
attorney general, and knew a lot
about those cases. His remarks might
have been misunderstood but for the
clever manner in which the president
turned them in replying. The presi-
dent said that the administration
knew better now how to enforce the
law, but it was only fair to say that
the prosecutions were begun earnest
1y in the last administration.

Mr.. Taft repeatedly disclaimed

tagc
Why" he asked, should we al
low the political fortunes of any man
or set of men to mislead us into a
hostility toward parts of the country
which is certain to work injury to
all?
We are all in the same boat, all
tossed by the same waves. Let there
be prostration of business in one
large section, and that prostration
will spread quickly to all the rest.
Cure for Business Depression.
Let us reason together" said the
president. Let us be charitable and
kind. Let us not be so suspicious and
ascribe corrupt motives to every one
in the community but our particular
friends and political associates. Let
us have legislation that helps, or an

methods accumulates property and
puts it into productive industries, that
supports thousands of workmen and
furnishes profit to those whose saw
ings have gone into the shares and
bonds of the enterprise.
Business is hating now There is
doubt and distrust among investors,
due to fear of blind enmity toward
successful enterprise. What is the
remedy? 1t is the restoration of conf

DES MONIES, Sept. 29.-President
Taft arrived here at 1880 and left at
IL for Ottumwa. He was met at the
depot by reception committee of citi-
zens headed bv Senator Cummins and
ex-senator Lafe Young. Seated be-
tween Cummins and Young at break
fast, the president was in hotbed of
political differences He was introduc-
ed by Mr.. Young and made brief ad-
dress.
He said he was pleased to find
Des Moines peaceful. He discussed
his administration and said that he was
still going ahead and holding his
head up, although he had found ac-
cording to his criticisers that he was
"a blunderer.'
After breakfast and an auto ride,
the president addressed 5000 people,
being introduced by Governor. Car
roll The president again addressed
he arbitration treaty.
AS the president was leaving the
coliseum. he and Cummins engaged in
treaty Cummins suggested an amend
ment and the president said, We'll,
make the amendment | will accept
it." "All right said Cummins, Il will
support it, with the amendment" and
the debate was over.
Vindictive Hostility.
yrJ1 J,
notable speech herein one of the
strongholds of insurgency-Preside
Taft made a plea for moderate and
reasonable laws affecting the business
interests of the country.
While promising that trust prosecu-
tions will continue he made an earn
est plea for reasonable consideration
of the railroads and the big industrial
corporations on the ground that their
reformation was being brought about
steadily and satisfactorily and that
nothing was to be gained by "vindic-
tive hostility" Mr.. Taft bitterly de-
nounced those politicians who seek to
arouse the prejudices of the people
and to array one section of the coun-
try against another. Such utterances,
he declared, to be those Of the blind
est of men"
"We have reached the point" he
said, where we can call halt; not
in the progressive movement to keep
business free from abuses, but where
we can call halt against appeals to
a spirit of pure hostility to prosper
ity on the theory that no one can be
prosperous without being dishonest
or a violator of the law

Roads Make Some Concessions
Including Increase

CHICAGO, Sept. pa strike on
all the Hartman lines, involving more
than $4,000 shop men, is inevitable,
according to the five presidents of the
International unions, to which most
Of the men belong.
The calling Of the strike awaits only
the word from these officials, who
have not agreed upon the hour. Ac-
cording to these same officials, the
contemplated struggle will determine
to great extent the future attitude
Of all railroads in their dealings with
employees
The shop men will strike, they say
not because of dissatisfaction with wa
ges or conditions of labor, but to es-
tablish the newly-organized federation
Of shop employees as means of me-
gotiating disputes between employers
and employees.
The railroads refuse to recognize
the federation, because, officials say,
it practically would mean the placing
of all operating affairs in the hands OF
the federation and would turn rail-
road management in chaos.

Turkish Cigarettes

italy Seeks Proteetorate.

MILAN, Sept. 29-Although the
Turko-Italian situation is extremely
grave, the hope is still entertained
that a conflict between Italy and Tur-
key will be avoided The reason for
this hope Is that Notwithstanding Of
fetal denials negotiations are known
to be going on with view OF inducing
Turkey to agree to some form of an
Italian protectorate over Tripoli, the
sovereignty of the sultan being preserv-
ed and considerable tribute paid by
Italy to Turkey.
1t Is thought that this new line win
possibly result in peaceful arrange
ment, especially as Turkey, In the
event of forcible occupation Of Trtpoli
by the italians, would risk almost In
evitable defeat and the loss of that
country without receiving any indem-
nifty.
The first italian expedition Of 25,-
600 men will be ready, II ne
cessary. to sail for Tripoli on October
3. 1t will If dispatched. shortly be
followed by another force of $4,000
men. A naval squadron is concentra-
ted at Augusta, near Syracuse, under
command Of Admiral Aubrey, and
ready to sail at moments notice.
There was much enthusiasm at Tar
left on the cruiser vettor Pfsani In
command OF flotilla of torpedo boats.
The commanders of the squadron at
Augusta and Taranto are in wireless
communication with the cruisers

While there is insurgency in Iowa,
1t is without leadership and the infor-
nation gained the first dag in this

that there will be little difficulty in

element is strong, due to the long agi-
tation of Cummins and Dolliver,. but
while Cummins has announced in fa-

These Iowans have watched the
press dispatches from Kansas, their
neighboring insurgent state. They SAL
that while Iowa has been insurgent,
Kansas was much worse, and the re-
ception given Taft there the first four
days of this week, is evidence that the
tide has turned there. They had ex-
pected here that Kansas, Iowa and
Wisconsin would stand together for
La Toilette and what he represents.
The breaking away of Kansas is ex-
pected to be followed by like results
in Iowa, where the president received
most cordial welcome in all the
towns he visited. At Council Bluffs,
he had only a few hundred persons to
address, but it was only o'clock a.
m when he appeared there He early
put more vigorous note into his ex.
planation of the tariff vetoes, and
ended here with keynote which
should greatly assist in the movement
to restore business prosperity. saying
Let us put our shoulders together in
