SIZZLING MESSAGE
SESIIO CONGRESS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SCORES
BIG CORPORATIONS BECAUSE
OF THEIR ATTITUDE.
STANDARD'S METHODS
ARE TORN TO PIECES
Tendency of Oil Concern to "Over-
Awe, Crush and Disdain Public,"
Proves Warm Theme in Chief's
Communication,
"President Roosevelt's sizzling mes
sage to congress asked the enactment
•of a fair employers' liability law. more
powers for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the executive again
calltd to the attention of the law
makers his campaign against the "spe
cially privileged rich." Regarding the
employers' liability aet. recently de
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
■court, the president said:
"AH regards the employers' liability
law. 1 advocate its Immediate reenaet
mont. limiting its scope so that it shall
apply only to the class of ases as to
which the court says it can constitu
tionally apply, but strengthening its
provisions within this scope. Interstate
employment being thus covered by an
adequate national law. the field of in
trastate employment will be left to the
action of the several states. With this
clear definition of responsibility the
states will undoubtedly give to the
performance of their duty within ttieir
Held the consideration the importance
of the subject demands.
"I also very urgently advise that a com
prehensive act be passed providing for
compensation by the government to all
employes injured in the government
service. Under the present law an in
jured workman in the employment of
the government lias no remedy, and
the entire burden of the accident falls
011 the helpless man. his wife, and his
young children. This Is an outrage.
It is a matter of humiliation to the na
tion that there should not he on our
statute books provision to meet and
partially atone for cruel misfortune
v.'bcn it comes upon a man through no
fault of his own while faithfully serv
ing the public."
Assails Injunction Abuse.
Abuse of the use of the injunction
In labor cases provided another theme
for the executive. He declared there
is some need for action regarding the
rights and wrongs of labor from black
listing to boycotting. Continuing, he
said:
"As regards Injunctions, T can do lit
tle but repeat what 1 have said in my
last message to congress. Kven though
it were possible. I should consider it
most unwise to abolish the use of the
process of injunction. It Is necessary
in order that the courts may maintain
their own dignity and in order that
they may in effective manner check
<iisord( r anil violence. The judge who
tises it cautiously and conservatively,
tint who. when the need arises, uses it
fearlessly, conf< rs the greatest ser
vice upon our people, and his preemi
nent usefulness as a public servant
should be heartily recognized. Hut
there is no question in my mind that
It has sometimes been used heedlessly
and unjustly, and that some of the in
junctions issued inflict grave and oc
casionally irreparable wrong upon
those enjoined."
That the Santa Fe railroad president
had guilty knowledge of rebating is an
assertion which the executive made
with effect. In his message he in
closed ]i tiers of correspondence, which
be declared point to the truth of his
statements. His words in this con
nection are;
"In enclose herewith a statement is
sued l>y the chief of the bureau of cor
porations in answer to certain state
ments (which I also enclose), made by
and on behalf of the agents of the
Standard Oil Corporation anil a letter
of the attorney-general containing an
answer to certain statements, also in
closed, made by the president of the
Santa Fe Railway Company. The
Standard Oil Corporation and the rail
way company have both been found
guilty by the courts of criminal mis
conduct; both have been sentenced to
pay heavy fines; and each has issued
»nd published broadcast these state
mints-, asserting their innocence and
denouncing as improper the action of
the courts and juries in convicting them
of guilt. These statements are very
■elaborate, are very ingenious, and are
untruthful in important particulars.
The letter and inclosure from Mr.
Heney sufficiently illustrate the meth
ods of the high officials of the Santa
Fe and show the utter falsity of their
plea of iennranoe, the similar plea of
the Standard Oil being equally with
out foundation."
"Would See Traffic Associations.
Uniformity of railroad rates was an
other one of the executive's themes
which is of interest to the general pub
lic. and President Roosevelt advised a
pool of traffic associations for the pur
pose of conferring on rates. In that
connection be coutluned as follows:
"I desire to repeat my recommenda
tion that railways he permitted to form
traffic associations for the purpose of
conferring about and agreeing upon
rates, regulations, and practices affect
ing interstate business in which the
members of the association are mu
tually interested. This does not mean
that they should lie given the right
to pool their earnings or their traffic
The law requires that rates shall be
so adjusted as not to discriminate be
tween individuals, localities, or differ
ent species of traffic. Ordinarily rates by
all competing lines must lie the same
As applied to practical conditions, the
railway operations of this country
can not be conducted according to law
■without what is equivalent to confer
ence and agreement. The articles un
■der which such associations operate
.should be approved by the commission
a?l their operations should be open to
public inspection; and the rates regu
lations, and practices upon which they
agree should be subject to disapproval
by the commission.
Then followed a "roast" on the "evil
rich " The president told of the cam
paign which the wealthy lawbreakers
conducted and set forth remedial legis
lation. His statement in that regard
follows:
"Under no circumstances would we
countenance attacks upon law-abiding
property, or do aught but condemn
those who hold up rich men as being
evil men because of their riches On
the contrary, our whole effort is to in
sist upon conduct, and neither wealth nor
property nor any other class distinction,
as being the proper standard by which to
Judge the actions of men. For the hon
est man of great wealth wc have a
hearty regard, just as we have a hearty
regard for the honest politician and hon
est newspaper. Hut part of the move
ment to uphold honesty must be a move
ment to frown on dishonesty. We at
tack only corrupt men of wealth, who
find in the purchased politician the most
efficient instrument of corruption and in
the purchased newspaper the most effi
cient defender of corruption. Our main
quarrel is not with these agents and
representatives of the Interests. They
derive their chief power from the great
sinister offenders who stand behind
them. They are but puppets who move
as the strings are pulled. It is not the
puppets, but the strong cunning men
and Hie mighty forces working for evil
behind and through the puppets, with
whom we have to deal. We seek to con
trol law-defying wealth; ill the first place
to prevent its doing dire evil to the re
public, and in the next place to avoid
the vindictive and dreadful radicalism
which, if left uncontrnlied, it Is certain
in the end to arouse."
Big Corporations Are Hit.
By easy stages the president drew near
to the Standard Oil trouble of a short
time ago, and then he told of alleged
methods of the Rockefeller syndicate to
"overawt common carriers. crush out
every competitor and look down upon the
people with a contempt which the public
deserves as long 11s it permits such men
to act Willi Impunity." II was at that
point and in connection with th» Insur
ance and Chicago A- Alton scandals that
Mr. It' osevelt took the heaviest fall out
of wealthy corporations which have her n
held to account by the government. The
message continued:
"The keynote of all these attacks upon
tlie effort to secure honesty 'n business
and 111 politics is well expressed In bra
zen protests against any effort for the
moral regeneration of the business world,
011 the ground that It is unnatural, un
warranted and Injurious, and that busi
ness panic is the necessary penalty for
such effort to secure business honesty.
The morality of such a plea is precisely
as great as if made 011 behalf of the
men caught in a gambling establishment
when that gambling establishment is
raided by the police. If such words mean
anything they mean that those
whose sentiments they represent
stand against the effort to bring
about a moral regeneration of business
which will prevent a repetition of the in
surance. banking and street railroad
scandals In New York; a repetition of
the Chicago <fc Alton deal; a repetition
of the combination between certain pro
fessional politicians, certain professional
labor leaders, and certain big financiers,
from the disgrace of which San Francis
co has just been rescued; a repetition
of the successful effort by the Standard
Oil people to crush out every competitor,
to overawe the common carriers, and to
establish a monopoly which treats the
public with a contempt which the public
deserves so long as It permits men of
such principles and such sentiments to
avow and act on them with impunity.
The outcry again?*, stopping dish'nest
practices among wrongdoers who hap
pen to bo wealthy is precisely similar
to the outcry raised against every effort
for cleanliness and decency in city gov
ernment, because, forsooth, it will 'hurt
business.' "
Tells of Criticising Judges.
"Our opponents have recently been bit
terly criticising the two Judges referred
to in tin- accompanying communications
from the Standard Oil Company and the
Santa Fe Railroad for having imposed
heavy fines on these two corporations,
and yet these same critics of these two
judges exhaust themselves in denounc
ing the most respectful and cautious
discussion of the official action of a Judge
which results in immunity to wealthy
and powerful wrongdoers. Most certain
ly it behooves us all to treat with the
utmost respect the high office of judge;
and our judges, as a whole, tre brave
and upright men. Respect for the law
must go hand In hand with respect for
the judges: and, as a whole, it is true
now as in the past that the judges stand
in character and service above all other
men among their fellow-servants of the
public. Tlio Judge who does Ills full
duty well stands higher, and renders a
better service to the people, than any
other public servant; he is entitled to
greater respect; and if he is a true ser
vant of the people. If he is upright, wise
and fearless, he will unhesitatingly dis
regard even the wishes of the people
If they conflict with the eternal prin
ciples of right as against wrong. He
must serve the people; but he must
serve his own conscience first. All honor
to such a judge: and all honor can not
be rendered him If It Is rendered equally
to his brethren who fall immeasurably
below the high ideals for which he
stands. Untruthful criticism is wicked at
all times, and whoever may be the ob
ject: but it is a peculiarly flagrant in
iquity when a judge is the object. No
man should lightly criticise a judge; no
man should, even In his own mind, con
demn a judge unless he Is sure of the
facts. If a judge is assailed for stand
ing against popular folly, and above all
for standing against mob violence, all
honorable men should rally instantly to
his support. Nevertheless if he clearly
fails to do his dutv by the public in
dealing with lawbreaklng corporations,
lawbreaking men of wealth, lie must ex
pect to feel the weight of public opin
ion; and this is but right, for except in
extreme cases this is the only way in
which lie can be reached at all. No ser
vant of the people lias a right to expect
to be free from just and honest criticism.
"An Ethical Movement."
"The opponents of the measures we
champion single out now one and now
another measure for especial attack, and
speak as if the movement in which we
arc engaged was purely economic. It has
a large economic side, hut it is funda
mentally an ethical movement. It Is not
a movement to be completed in one year,
or two years or three years; it is a
movement which must be persevered in
until the spirit which lies behind It sinks
deep into the heart and the conscience
of the whole people. It is always im
portant to choose the right means to
achieve our purpose, but it is even
more important to keep this purpose
clearly before us; and this purpose is
to secure national honesty in business
and in politics. We do not subscribe to
the cynical belief that dishonesty and
unfair dealing are essential to business
success, n.n'l Jirt* to bo conflonffl when the
success is moderate and applauded when
the success is great. The methods by
which the Standard Oil people and those
engaged in the other combinations of
which I have spoken above have
achieved great fortunes can only be jus
tified by the advocacy of a system of
morality which would also justify every
form of criminality on the part of a
labor union, and every form of violence,
corruption, and fraud, from murder to
bribery and ballot-box stuffing in poli
tics. We are trying to secure equality
of opportunity for all; and the struggle
for honesty is the same whether It Is
made on behalf of one set of men or of
another. In the interest of the small
settlers and landowners, and against the
embittered opposition of wealthy owners
of huge wandering flocks of sheep, or of
corporations desiring to rob the people
of coal and timber, we strive to put an
end to the theft of public land In the
west When we do this, and protest
against the action of all men, whether
in public life or In private life, who
either take part In or refuse to try to
stop such theft, we are really engaged
in the same policy as when we endeavor
to put n stop to rebates or to prevent
the upgrowth of uncontrolled monopolies.
Our effort Is simply to enforce the prin
ciples of common honesty and common
sense It would indeed be 111 for the
country should there be any halt in our
work."
State Government Must Aid.
the state or national gov
ernment must undertake the regula
tion. of which the president spoke, ami
the executive asked the common
wealths to share the responsibility of
curbing those corporations, which are
I accused of evil-doing. "Of course in
any event both the national and state
governments must each do its part,"
said President Roosevelt's message,
and each can do a certain amount
that the other cannot do. while the
only really satisfactory results must
be obtained by the representatives of
the national and state governments
working heartily together within their
respective spheres. Hut In my judg
ment thorough-going and satisfactory
control can in the end only be obtained
by the action of the national govern
ment. for almost all the corporations of
enormous wealth —that is, the corpo
rations which it is especially desirable
to control—are engaged in interstate
commerce, and derive their power and
their importance not from that portion
of their business which is intrastate,
but from the interstate business. It is not
easy always to decide just where the line
of demarcation between the two kinds
of business falls. This line must ulti
mately be drawn by the federal
courts. Much of the effort to secure
adequate control of the great corpora
tions by state action has been wise
and effective, but much of it has been
neither; for when the effort is made
to accomplish by the action of the state
what can only be accomplished by the
action of the nation, the result can only
be disappointment, and jn the end tho
I law will probably be declared uncon
stitutional. So likewise in the national
arena, we who believe in the measures
herein advocated are hampered and
not aided by the extremists who advo
cate action so violent that it would
either be useless or else would cause
more mischief than it would remedy.
Points to the Future.
"The laws must In the future he ad
ministered as they are now being ad
ministered, so that the department of
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1.908.
Justice may continue to be, wha It now
is, in very fact the department of jus
tice, where mi far .is our ability per
mits justice is meted out with an even
hand to great and small, rich and poor,
weak and strong. Moreover, there
should bo no del yin supplementing the
laws now on t! t statute books by the
enactment of .irther legislation as
outlined in the message X sent to the
congress on its assembling. Under the
existing laws much, very much, has
been actually accomplished during the
past six years, and it has been shown
by actual ej perience that they can be
enforced ag inst the wealthiest cor
poration and the richest and most pow
erful manager or manipulator of that
corporation, as rigorously and fearless
ly as against the humblest offender.
Above all, they have been enforced
against the very wrongdoers and
agents of wrongdoers who have for
so many years gone scot-free and
flouted the laws with impunity,
against great law-defying corpora
tions of immense wealth, which, until
within the last half dozen years have
treated themselves nnd have expected
others to treat them as being beyond
and above all possible cheek from law.
It is especially necessary to secure to
the representatives of the national gov
ernment full power to deal with the
great corporations engaged in inter
state comirce, and above all. with the
great Interstate common carriers. Our
people should cleany recognize that
while there are difficulties In any
course of conduct to be follow d in
dealing with these great corpo ations,
these difficulties must be faced, and one
of three courses followed. The fl' it
course is to tbandon all effort to ov r
see and contro. their actions In the in
terest of the genera public and to per'
mit a return to the utter '.ack of cor
trol which wrai'd obtain if they we i
left to the common law. I do not for
one moment believe that our people
would tole—'e this position. The ex
traordinary growth of mode; indus
trialism has rendered the connn in law,
which grew up under and was adapt
ed to deal with totally different condi
tions, in many respects inadequate to
deal with the new conditions. These
new conditions make it necessary to
shackle cunning as in the past we have
shackled force. The vast individual
and corporate fortunes, the vast com
binations of capital, which havojnarked
the development of our industrial sys
tem. create new conditions, und neces
sitate a change from the old attitude
of the state and the nation toward the
rules regulating the acquisition and
untrammeled business use of prop
erty, in order both that property may
be adequately protected, and that at
the same time those who hold it may
be prevented from wrongdoing.
Talks of Financial Stress.
"We have just pased through two
months of acute financial stress. At
any such time it is a sad fact that en
tirely innocent people sufer from no
fault of their own; and every one must
feel the keenest sympathy for the
largo body of honest business men. of
honest investors, of honest wagework
ers, who suffer because Involved In a
crash for which they are in no way
responsible. At such a time there is
a natural tendency on the part of many
men to feel gloomy and frightened at
the outlook; but there Is no justifica
tion for this feeling. There is no na
tion so absolutely sure of ultimate suc
cess as ours. Of course we shall suc
ceed. Ours is a nation of masterful
energy, with a continent for its domain,
and it feols within its veins the thrill
which comes to those who know that
they possess the future. We are not
cast down by the fear of failure. We
are upheld by the confident hope of ul
timate triumph. The wrongs that ex
ist are to be corrected; but they in no
way Justify doubt as to the final out
come, doubt as to the great material
prosperity of the future, or of the lofty
spiritual life which is to be built upon
that prosperity as a foundation. No
misdeeds done In the present must bo
permitted to shroud from our eyes the
glorious future of the nation; but be
cause of this very fact it behooves us
never to swerve from our resolute pur
pose to cut out wrongdoing and uphold
what is right. I do not for a moment
believe that the actions of this admin
istration have brought on business dis
tress; so far as this is due to local and
not world-wide causes, and to the ac
tions of any particular individuals, it
is due to the speculative folly and fla
grant dishonesty of a few men of great
wealth, who seek to shield themselves
from the effects of their own wrong
doing by ascribing its results to the
actions of those who have sought to
put a stop to the wrongdoing. Hut if
it were true that to cut out rottenness
from the body politic meant a mo
mentary check to an unhealthy
seeming prosperity. I should not for
one moment hesitate to put the knife
to the corruption. On behalf of all
our people, on behalf 110 less of the
honest man of means than of the hon
est man who earns each day's liveli
hood by the day's sweat of his brow, it
is necessary to insist upon honesty in
business and in politics alike, in all
walks of life, In big things and In little
things; upon just and fair dealing as
Ktween man and man. Those who
demand this are striving for the right
in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln," said
the president in conclusion.
FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eccentricity on the Part of Those
Building and Furnishing Houses.
Instances of eccentricity on the part
of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
of freakishness in that regard may be
cited in illustration of certain phases.
A Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost of 8,000 rubles on his country
estate at Savinowka, in Podolia, a 16-
room house made entirely of paper.
This house, which was constructed in
New York, is calculated by its archi
tect to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too, is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath, Ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
windows are made to resemble in out
line the backs of of easy chairs, being
thus constructed by its eccentric own
eer to match the backs of a set of
chairs in the dining-room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked a church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting a row of cottages
so designed as to resemble, from his
side, the edifice required. Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man of scientific
attainments, as well as of considerable
means, elected to live in a tree in a
suburb of Washington—that is, he en
joyed his leisure moments in the
branches of the tree itself, where he
had caused to be built a platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use of during the day.
At the base of the tree, however,
and surrounding it was built a struc
ture of brick and stone inclosing the
sleeping apartments of this eccentric
individual. For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights of the national capital.
One of the oddest houses ever con
structed was the fruit of a French
man's inventive fancy. This was the
"revolving house," a structure actual
ly built upon casters, so to speak, in
order that the occupant might by
means of an ingenious mechanism at
any time roll it about, obtaining what
ever light and air his fancy dictated.
WATERLOGGED ON
THE FINANCIAL SEA
IS THE STEAMSHIP COMBINE
MR. MORSE SET AFLOAT.
REQUEST FOR RECEIVERSHIP
Is Made by Creditors—Founder of tho
Combine Sought to Control All
Steamship Lines on the
Atlantic Coast.
Boston, Mass. Proceedings iu
this ity for a receivership for the
Co*..ioli<Kced Steamship Co. were in
stituted Thursday simultaneously with
.hose in- the courts at Portland, Me.,
and New York. The action waa
brought by William A. Muller, of Ar
lington, Mass., whose counsel filed
three bills of complaint against the
consolidated and also against two sub
sidiary companies, the Eastern and
Metropolitan steamship companies.
It is expected that as soon as tho
United States court in New York acta
upon the petition filed there, similar
proceedings will result in the courts
here and in Portland.
The (Mfficuities of the Consolidated
Steamship Co. are regarded by bank
ers here as the result of excessive
steamship building and failure on the
part of the company to provide a sink
ing fund for the bonds of the six com
panies that were consolidated by
Charles W. Morse, of Bath, Me.
It was Mr. Morse's ambition to con
trol all the steamship companies en
gaged in the coastwise trade. Two
years ago he consolidated all the
steamship lines running between Bos
ton and Maine ports under the head
of the Eastern Steamship Co. He then
obtained control of the Metropolitan
Steamship Co. with a line of boats
between this city and New York, and
later secured four lines running south
from New York, the New York and
Cuba mail route, known as the Ward
line; the Clyde Steamship Co., the
Mallory Steamship Co. and the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship Co.
The Consolidated Steamship Lines Co.,
a Maine corporation, was then formed
as a holding company for these six
lines, with an authorized bond issue
of $60,000,000 at 4 per cent and $62,-
000,000 in stock.
As soon as the consolidation was
effected a contract was made for the
construction of a number of steam
ships and the first production in this
line was the Harvard and Yale, which
ran between this city and New York
Tor two months last fail. Tho finan
cial condition of the Consolidated
Steamship Co. during the latter part
of the summer began to attract at
tention, especially when it was
learned that over $3,000,000 had been
taken from the earnings of the six
companies in order to pay for the
Harvard and Yale.
When the financial crash came last
October which carried down several
financial institutions in which Morse
was heavily interested, support was
withdrawn from his steamship enter
prise and talk of a reorganization
gained wide circulation. While no
such reorganization yet has taken
place, a committee has been at work
upon plans to that end and the com
ponent companies have been operated
under separate managements. As a
result of the troubles which came to
the big holding company the January
interest on the $60,000,000 issue of
bonds was not paid.
AMERICANS BUY WAR RELICS.
Flag of the Man-of-War Chesapeake
and the Balaklava Bugle Are
Sold at Auction.
London, England.—The flag of the
American man-of-war Chesapeake and
the "Balaklava bugle," two of the
most valuable war relics of a collec
tion of antiquities that belonged to
the late T. C. Middlebrook, were se
cured Thursday at the auction sale
of the collection for American buyers.
The Chesapeake flag was captured in
the fight with the British ship Shan
non in 1813 and there was good bid
ding for the faded and torn piece of
bunting, the authenticity of which Is
vouched for in a written history of
ownership since Midshipman Grundy,
of the royal navy, came in possession
of the trophy nearly a century ago.
The flag was sold for $4,250 to a
London art dealer, who also pur
chased the bugle for $1,500. It was
upon this instrument that the order to
the famous Light Brigade to charge
at the battle of Balaklava was sound
ed. The dealer admitted that these
highly interesting curios had been
purchased by him for different parties
in America, but more than this he
would not say.
According to the Tribune the Ches
apeake flag goes to J. Pierpont Mor
gan.
Congress.
Washington.—The urgent deficiency
bill, carrying an appropriation of $23,-
664,000, was passed by tho house on
the 30th. The Aid rich banking bill
was reported to the senate from the
finance committee and Mr. Aldrieh
announced that he would call it up for
consideration on February 10.
Killed a Prohibition Bill.
Columbia, S. C.—-Tho prohibition
bill was killed in the house of repre
sentatives Thursday by the vote of 64
to 53. The senate is also opposed to
prohibition.
Nine Miners Killed.
Charleston, W. Ya. —Nine min
ers met sudden death Thursday
in the New River colliery near Hawks
Nest in an explosion that partly
wrecked the mine. About 25 men
were in the mine at. tho time of the
explosion. Those who escaped suf
fered only slight Injuries.
