TIFT ICCEPIS NOMINATION,
DECLARES HIS POLICIES
Makes His Notification Speech at
Cincinnati, While City Is in Gala
Attire to Receive Him as a Con
quering Hero-'-Text of
His Speech.
CMnclnnntl, O -Candidate William How
ard Taft, bearing the banners of the Re
publican party as its choice for presi
dent of the i/nited States, struck cam
paign keynotes of many tones when he
formally accepted the presidential nom
inal ion and replied to Senator Warner.
This city was in gala attire and took
a holiday upon Taft's arrival in town.
Guns boomed, fireworks cracked every
where, and In general the scene was that
of welcoming home the conquering hero.
The feature of the entire celebration,
however, was the notification which took
place during a lull in the activities of the
citizens. The occasion was an auspicious
one.
Win Senator Warner had finished his
•address, Mr. Taft arose from his chair
at the speaker's table and addressed the
assembled members of the notification
committee. He spoke of curbing the
trusts, without oppressing good corpora
tions. Ife declared that the rates of the
railroads of this country were reason
ably low. Moderation was his whole
theme and he proposed to restore con
fidence.
But the big feature of the speech was
"his declaration for Rooseveltian policies,
which he said he would follow out to the
letter, the foundations having been laid
in them for rightful administration. He
took a few shots at the Democratic plat
form. also.
Mr. Taft spoke as follows:
"Senator Warner and Gentlemen of the
•Committee:
"I am deeply sensible of the honor
which th > Republican national conven
tion has conferred on me in the nomina
tion which you formally tender. 1 accept
It with full appreciation of the responsi
bility it imposes.
Strength in Roosevelt Policies.
"Gentlemen, the strength of the Repub
lican cause in the campaign at hand is in
the fact that we represent policies essen
tial to the reform of known abuses to the
continuance of liberty and true prosper
ity, and that we are determined, as our
platform unequivocally declares, to main
tain them and carry them on. For more
than ten years this country passed
through an epoch of material develop
ment far beyond any that ever occurred
In the world before. In its course, cer
tain evils crept in. Some prominent and
Influential members of the community,
spurred by financial success anil in their
hurry for greater wealth, became tin
mindful of the common rules «>f business
honesty and fidelity, and of the limita
tions imposed by law upon their action.
"This became known. The revelations
of the breaches of trust, the disclosures
as to rebates and discrimination by rail
ways. the accumulating evidence of the
violation of the anti-trust law by a num
ber of corporations, the over-issue of
stocks and bonds on interstate railways
for the unlawful enriching of directors
and for the purpose of concentrating con
trol of railways in one management,
all quickened the conscience of the peo
ple, and brought on a moral awakening
among them that boded well for the fu
ture of the country.
What Roosevelt Has Done.
"The man who formulated the expres
sion of the popular conscience and who
"led the movement for practical reform
was Theodore Roosevelt. He laid down
the doctrine that the rich violators of the
law should he amenable to restrain and
punish as the offender without wealth,
and without influence, and he proceeded
by recommending legislation an-l direct
ing executive action to make that prin
ciple good in actual performance. He
secured the passage «>f the so-cal!< <1 rate
bill, designed more effectively tor strain
excessive and fix reasonable rates, and
to puniali secret rebates and discrimina
tion which have been general in the prac
tice of the railroads, and which had done
much to enable unlawful trusts to drive
out of business their competitors. It se
cured much closer observation of rail
way transactions and brought within
the operation of the same statute express
•companies, sleeping car companies, fast
freight and refrigerator lines, terminal
Tallroads and pipe lines, and forbade in
future the combination of the transpor
tation and shipping business under on"
•control, in order to avoid undue discrim
ination.
"President Roosevelt directed suits to be
"brought and prosecutions to be instituted
tinder the anti-trust law. to enforce its
provisions against the most powerful of
the industrial corporations. He pressed
to passage the* pure food law, and the
meat inspection law. in the interest of
the health of the public, clean business
methods and great ultimate benefit to the
trades themselves. He recommended the
passage of a law. which the R. publican
convention has since specifically ap
proved, restricting the future issue of
stocks and bonds by Interstate rail
ways. to such as may be authorized by
federal authority.
Function of Next Administration.
"The chief function of the next ad
ministration in my judgment is distinct
from and a progressive development
which has been performed by President
Roosevelt.
"The chief function of the next admin
istration is to complete and perfect the
machinery by which these standards may
be maintained by which the law breakers
may be promptly restrained and pun
ished, but which shall operate with suf
ficient accuracy and dispatch to interfere
with legitimate business as little as pos
sible. Such machinery is not now ade
quate. ITnder the present rate bill, and
under all its amendments, the burden of
tlv* Interstate commerce commission in
supervising and regulating the operation
of the railroads of this country has
grown so heavy that it is utterly impos
sible for that tribunal to hear and dis
pose. in any reasonable time, of the many
complaints, queries and issues that are
brought before it for decision. It ought
to b»» relieved of its jurisdiction as an
executive, directing body, and its func
tions should be limited to the quasi-ju
dicial investigation of complaints bv in
dividuals, and by a department of the
government charged with the executive
business of supervising the operation of
railways.
Constructive Work Detailed.
"The field covered by the industrial
combinations and by the railroads is so
very extensive that the Interests of the
public and the Interests of the businesses
concerned cannot be properly subserved
except by reorganization of* bureaus in
the department of rommerce and labor,
of agriculture, and the department of jus
tice, and a change in the jurisdiction of
the interstate commerce commission. It
does not assist matters to prescribe new
duties for the interstate commerce com
mission which it is practically impossible
for it to perform, or to denounce new of
fenses v Ith drastic punishment, unless
subordinate an auxiliary legislation
shall be passed, making possible the
quick enforcement in the great variety of
cases which are con:;tantlv arising of
the principles laift down by Mr Roose
velt, and with respect to which only tepi
cal instances of prosecution with 'the
present machinery are possible. Such
legislation should and would greatly
promote legitimate business by enabling
those anxious to obey the federal stat
utes to know Just what are the bonds
of their lawful action. The practical con
structive and difficult work, therefore o
lliose who follow Mr. Roosevelt, Is to'de
viso the ways and moans by which the
nigh level of % business integrity and obe
flJfiK e to law which ho has established
may be maintained, and departures from
It restrained without undue interference
with legitimate business.
Railway Traffic Agreements.
"It is agreeable to note in this regard
that the Republican platform expressly
■ind the Democratic platform impliedly
approve an amendment to the Interstate
commerce law, by which Interstate rail
roads may make useful traffic agree
ments, if approved by the commissions.
1 his has been strongly recommended by
President Roosevelt, and will make for
the benefit of the business.
"Some of the suggestions of the Demo
cratic platform relate really to this
subordinate and ancillary machinery to
which I have referred. Take for in
stance, the so-called physical valuation
of railways. It is clear that the sum of
all rates or receipts of a railway, less
proper expenses, should be limited to a
lair profit upon the reasonable value of
Its property, and that if the sum exceeds
this measure, It ought to be reduced. The
difficulty in enforcing the principle Is in
ascertaining what is the reasonable value
of the company's property, and In fixing
what is a fair profit. It is clear that the
physical value of a railroad and its plant
is an element to be given weight in de
termining its full value; but as Presi
dent Roosevelt in his Indianapolis
speech and the supreme court have point
ed out, the value <»f the railroud as a go
ing concern, including its good will, due
to efficiency of service, ana many other
circumstances, may be much greater
than the value of its tangible property
and It is the former that measures th
in vestment on which a fair profit must
be allowed. Then, too, the ques
tion what Is a fair profit Is one
involving not only the rate of interest
usually earned on normally safe invest
ments, hut also a sufficient allowance to
make up for the risk of loss both of cap
ital ami interest in the original outlay.
These considerations will justified
the company in imposing charges high
enough to secure a fair income on the
enterprise as a whole.
What Roosevelt Said.
"As Mr. Roosevelt has said in speak
ing of tills very subject:
" 'The effect of such valuation and su
pervision of securities cannot he retro
active. Kxisting securities should be
tested by laws in existence at the time
of their issue. This nation would no
more injure securities which have be
come an important part of the national
wealth than it would consider a propo
sition to repudiate the national debt.'
"The question of rates and treat
ment of railways is one that has two
sides. The shippers arc certainly en
titled to reasonable rates; hut less is
an injustice to the carriers. Good
business for the railroads is essential
to general prosperity. Injustice to
them is not alone injustice to stock
holders and capitalists, whose further
investments may he necessary for the
good of the whole country, hut it di
rectly affects and reduces the wages
of railroad employes.
"For what has been said, the proper
conclusion would seem to be that in
attempting to determine that whether
tin- entire schedule of rates of a rail
way is excessive, the physical valua
tion of the road is a relevant and im
portant but not necessarily a control
ling factor. Physical valuation proper
ly used will not generally impair se
curities.
Rates Are Low, He Says.
"In some cases, doubtless, it will be
found that overcapitalization is made
•in excuse for excessive rates, and then
they should be reduced, but the con
sensus of opinion seems to he that the
railroad rates generally in this coun
try are reasonably low. This is why
doubtless the complaints filed with tin-
Interstate commerce commission
against excessive rates are so few as
compared with those against unlawful
discrimination in rates between shippers
and between places. Of course in the de
termination of the question whether dis
crimination is unlawful or not, the phys
ical valuation of the whole road is ot lit
tle weight.
"T have discussed with some degree
of detail merely to point out that the
valuation by the interstate commerce
commission of the tangiblo property of
a railroad is proper and may from
time to time be necessary in settling
certain of the issues which may come
before them and that no evil or in
justice can come from valuation in
such cases, if it he understood that the
result is to be used for a just pur
pose, ami the right to a fair profit un
der all circumstances of the invest
ment is recognized. The interstate com
merce commission has now the power
to ascertain the value of the physical
railroad property if necessary in de
termining the reasonableness of rates.
National Control of Corporations.
"Another suggestion in respect to
subordinate and ancillary machinery
necessary to carry out Republican poli
cies is that of the incorporation under
national law or the licensing .by na
tional license or enforced registry of
companies engaged in interstate trade.
The fact is that nearly all corporations
doing a commercial business are en
gaged in interstate commerce, and if
they all were required to take out a
federal license or a federal charter,
the burden upon the interstate busi
ness of the country would become in
tolerable.
"It is necessary, therefore, to de
vise some means for classifying and
insuring federal supervision of such
corporations as have the power and
temptation t«» effect restraints of in
terstate trade and monopolies, Su-h
corporations constitute a very small
percentage of all engaged in inter
state business.
Roosevelt's Proposed Classification.
"With sifh clarification in view, Mr.
Roosevelt recommended an amendment
in the anti-trust law, known as the
Hepburn bill, which provided for vol
untary clasifieatlon. and created a
strong motive therefore by granting
immunity from prosecutions for rea
sonable restrictions of inter-state
trade to all corporations which would
register and submit themselves to tin
publicity regulation of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
"The Democratic platform suggests
a requirement that corporations and
interstate trade having control of 25
per cent, of the products in which they
deal shall take out a federal license.
This classification would probably in
clude a great many small corpora
tions engaged in the manufactur «>f
special articles or commodities whose
total value is so inconsiderable that
they are not really within the per
view or real evil of the anti-trust law.
It Is not now necessary, however, to
discuss the relative merit of such prop
ositions. but it Is enough merely to af
firm the necessity for some method by
which greater executive supervision
can be given to the federal government
over these businesses in which there is
a temptation to violations of the anti
trust law.
Construction of Anti-Trust Law.
"The possible operation of the anV-
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1908.
trust law under existing rulings of the
supremo court has given rU« to sugges
tion for its neceiisary amendment to
prevent its applications to cases which
it is believed were never In the contem
plation of the framers of the statute.
Take two Instances: A merchant or man
ufacturer engaged in a legitimate busi
ness that covers certain states, wishes
to sell his business and his good will,
and so In the terms of the sale obligates
himself to tlie purchaser not togo into
the same business in those states. Such
a restraint of trade has always been en
forced At common law. Again the em
ployes of an interstate railway combine
and enter upon a peaceable and lawful
strike to secure better wages. At com
mon law this was not a restraint of trade
or commerce or a violation of the rights
of the company or of the public. Neither
case ought to be made a violation of tho
anti-trust law. My own impression is
that the supreme court would hold that
neither of these instances are within
its inhibition, but if they are to be so
regarded, general legislation amending
the la v is necessary.
Democratic Plank Discussed.
"The suggestion of the Democratic
platform that trusts be ended by for
bidding corporations to hold more than
."0 per cent, of the plant in any line of
manufacture is made without regard to
the possibility of enforcement or the
real evil in trusts. A corporation con
trolling 45 or 50 per cent, of the products
may by well known method* frequently
effect monopoly and stamp out compe
tition in any part of the country as com
pletely as if it controlled GO or 70 per cent,
thereof.
Proper Treatment of Trusts.
"I'nla wful trusts should be re
strained with all the efficiency of in
junctive process and the persons cn
gnged in maintaining them should bo
punished with all the severity of crim
inal prosecution, in order that methods
pursued in the operation of their busi
ness shall be brought within the law.
To destroy them and to eliminate the
wealth they represent from the pro
ducing capital of the country would
- iitLii 1 enormous loss, and would throw
out of employment myriads of work
ingmen. tfuch a result is wholly un
necessary to the accomplishment of the
needed reform, and will Inflict upon the
innocent far greater punishment than
upon the guilty.
"The Democratic platform does not
propose to destroy the plan of the trust
physically, but it proposes to do the
same thing in a different way. The
business of litis country is largely de
pendent upon a protective system of
tariffs. The business done by many of
the so-called trusts is protected with
the other businesses of the country.
The Democratic platform proposes to
take off the tariff In all articles com
ing into competition with those pro
duced by tho so-called 'trusts' and to
put them on the free list. If such a
course would be utterly destructive of
their business as it is, indeed, it would
not only destroy the trusts, but all of
their smaller competitors.
Effect of Democratic Policies.
"To take the course suggested by
the Democratic platform in these mat
ters is to invoke the entire commu
nity. innocent as it is, in the punish
ment of the guilty, while our policy
is to stamp out the specific evil.
"This difference between the policies
of the two great parties is of special
importance, in view of the present con
dition of business. After the years of
the most remarkable material develop
ment and prosperity, there comes finan
cial stringency, a panic, an industrial
depression. This was brought about
not only by the enormous expansion
of business plants and business invest
ments which could not be readily con
verted. but also by the waste of cap
ital in extravagance of living, in wars,
tnd other catastrophes. The free
convertible capital was exhausted. In
addition to this, the confidence of the
lending public ir Kurope and in this
country had been affected by the rev
elations of Irregularity, breach of
trust, over issue of stock, valuations of
law and lack of rigid state or na
tional supervision in management of
our largest corporations. Investors
withheld what loanable capital re
mained available, it became impossible
fort};.- soundest railroads and other
enterprises to borrow money enough
for new construction and reconstruc
tion.
Restoration of Prosperity.
"Gradually business is acquiring a
healthier tone. Gradually wealth,
which was hoarded, is coming out to
be used. Confidence in security of busi
ness investments Is a plant of slow
growth and is absolutely necessary in
order that our factories may all open
again, in order that our unemployed
may become employed, and in order
that we may again have the prosperity
that has blessed us for ten years. The
Identity of the interest of the capital
of the farmer, the business man and
the wage earner in the security and
profit of investments cannot be too
largely emphasized. I submit to
those most interested, to wage earners,
to farmers and to business men. wheth
er the introduction into power of the
Deomcrajic party, with Mr. Bryan at
its head, and with the business con
struction that it openly advocates as
a remedy for present evils, will bring
about the needed confidence for the
restoration of prosperity.
"The lupuhl.can doctrine of protec
tion. as definitely announced by the
Republican convention this year, and
J.y previous conventions, is that a tariff
shall be imposed on all imported prod
ucts, whether of the factory, farm or
mine, sufficiently great to e-jual the
difference b< tween the cost of produc
tion abroad and at home, and that this
difference should, of course, include the
difference between the higher wages
paid in this country, and the wages
paid abroad, and embrace a reasonable
profit to the American production.
Advantage of Unions.
"To give to employes their proper po
sition In such a controversy to enable
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they may
well unite, because in union there is
strength and without it each individual
laborer and employe would be helpless.
The promotion of industrial p f *ace
through the instrumentality of the trade
agreement is often one of the results of
such union when intelligently conducted.
"There is a largo body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized Into unions. Their rights
before the lf.w are exactly the same as
those of the union men, and are to be
protected with the same care and watch
fulness.
"In order to induce their employer into
a compliance with their request for
changed terms of employment workmen
have the right to strike in a body. They
have a right to use such persuasion as
they may, provided It does not reach
tiie point of duress, to lead their reluc
tant co-laborers t«» Join them in their
anion against their employer and tiiey
have a right, if they choose, to accumu
late funds to support those engaged In
a strike, to delegate to officers the pow
er to direct the action of the union, and
to withdraw themselves and their as
sociates from dealings with, or giving
custom to. those with whom they are
in controversy.
What Labor Cannot Do.
"What tliev have not tho right to do
is to Injure their employers' property, to
injure their employers' business by use
of threats or methods of physical duress
against those who would work for him
or deal with him or by carrying on what
is scnietimes known as a secondary boy
cott against his customers or those with
whom be deals in business. All those
who sympathize with them may unite
to aid them in their struggle, but they
may not, through the instrumentality ot*
«i threatened or actual boycott, compel
third persons against their will and hav
ing no interest iti their controversy to
come to their assistance. These princi
ples have for a great many years been
settled by the courts of th % s country.
"Threatened unlawful injuries to busi
ness. like these described above, can only
be adequate'v remedied by an injunction
to prevent them. The jurisdiction of a
court of equity to enjoin in such cases
arises from the character of the injury
and the metho 1 of inflicting it snd the
fact that suit for damages oT.ts* no ade
quate remedy.
"The injury is not done by one single
act. which mi&?ht be adequately oompen
sited lor in damages by a suit at law.
but it Is the result of a constantly re
curring series of acts. eac w >f which in
itself might not constitute . substantia!
injury or make a suit a* Taw worth
while, and all of which would require a
multiplicity of suits at law."

CAUSE OF SUICIDE UNKNOWN
Carries Card of Sister in Her Purse-
Was About 20 Years of Age,
a Blondo and Unusually
Pretty.
Cleveland, O. —With a large crowd
near her, Emma Datzell, 7801 Coal
fax road, S. E., shot herself In the
Erie depot Thursday. She is dying
in Lakeside hospital.
The cause of the shooting is not
positively known, b*ut it is believed
that tho girl had' been disappointed by
the failure of some one to meet her in
the station.
The girl was 20 years old, a blonde
wtih regular features and unusually
pretty. She was seen to walk up and
down the waiting room of the depot,
scanning tho faces of the passengers
as they alighted from the trains. She
seemed disappointed when she did not
find the person she was apparently
seeking.
Finally, when a train came Into the
station about noon and still no one
appeared' to seek her, she turned into
a small room toward the rear of the
station and, pulling a revolver from
her pocket, placed it at her temple
and fired a bullet into her brain.
The girl foil to the floor with a
moan. Dozens of frightened persons
rushed to her side. She was carried
to the women's waiting room and
cared for until Hogan's ambulance ar
rived and took her to Lakeside hos
pital.
Mrs. Walter Robinson of N'lles, O.
said' that she saw the girl goto a
telephone booth and use it. She came
out and resumed her tramping up and
down the station floor.
Capt. Beaver of the Erie detective
force, was tho first to reach the girl's
side. He called to her, but although
she opened her eyes, she did not
speak. The girl had stepped into a
little room just leading off from the
general waiting room, he savs, but
within easy hearing and sight of the
other passengers.
There were 50 cartridges in hei
pocket. The revolver was brand new
Her purse contained $1.25.

Southingtcn, C§>nn. —The finding by
berry pickers on Thursday of the
skeleton of a man which had long
lain hidden in the bushes on Wolcott
mountain revived the story of what
has always been thought by th • people
of Southington ami Wolcott to be a
murder. Four years ago Robert Perry,
who lived at the foot of the mountain
disappeared after receiving a legacy
of $5,000 from England. Later his

to the effect that Perry had gone to
England to claim more money. For
weeks townspeople searched the
mountain side-and even partially tore
down Perry's house and dug up the
cellar to find traces of his body. The

ployed Perry as a caretaker, assisted
In tho search. Airs. Perry was mar
