ROOSEVELT REPEATS
 HIS SCOLDING OF
 OLD PARTY METHODS
Can See No Good In Anything Ex- Cept As Proposed By The Pro- gressiveS And Attacks Trust Legislation of Wilson

COLUMBUS, OHIO. sept 29.--Ad- dressing an audience in Memorial Hal here tonight. Colonel Roosevelt criticised the old parties os fossil ied"; found little save inenicicncy and incompetency in their programs affecting labor, combinations and the tariff, and pointed to the Progressive platform as the only one showing the way to true reform.
 The attitude of the present Demo cratic administration on the tarin and trusts he described as firing 'so as to hit it if it is a bear and to miss it if it is a calf"
 The colonel explained his opposi- ton Co state ownership in most in- stances because of the superior ei- hciency of most privately conducted enterprises. The distribution of the mails. water and light he said, fall naturally within the province of the state. but in general state regulation and supervision were to be preferred to state ownership.
 Colonel Roosevelt pointed to the i placing of sugar on the free list as an example of unscienthc legislation and declared that the advance in su- gar resulted because, he declared. the American grower simply quit busi- ness and the law of supply and de- mand did the rest He described the policy of the Progressive party as one of wise and cool-headed radical ism
 On the subject of combinations the former President said that the war time advance in foodsufs and the plight of the cotton growers empha sized the need of properly regulated and supervised combinations for the benefit of the great and small alike The war he added, has shown the
 need of combinations among bust l nessmen, especially smell business men. But. he said, they were prohibit led by laws which prohibit all combi nations, good or bad.
 Colonel Roosevelt took the dicisioI lin the International Harvester case
 recently handed down. as an allus
 tration of the evil effect of condemn
 ing all combinations.
 "The court in the harvester case said the colonel. decided that wha
 the harvester company had done wa
