The naval search problem on the

in. Sunday by the signal "surrender,

miral Higginson's flagship and the re
ply "accept surrender" from the fore

The battle between the Blue or de

Forged Tax Receipts.
A (urged receipt for taxes amount
ing to -U,770.17, assessed against
the Chirago Masouic Temple prop
e.ty last year, was offered Thura
day to Tieasuior Raymond as evi
dence that the taxes had been paid.
The rauuuient document was pre
seuted alter a week's effort on the
part of the ci.uty treasurer to secure
an explanation of how certain fraudu
lent entries had come to be made ou
the tax bcxiks to the benefit of tho
Masonic Temple property.
The circumstance:) surrounding the
Temple case, It Is believed, will serve
to break up and secure the punishment
of a gang of men alleged to have been
engaged in taxflxing operations on a
largo scale.
The Masonic Temple ease is said by
Treasurer Raymond to be but one of
muny in which, for a consideration, a
certain former county and south town
employe agreed to fix taxes fur largo
payers. It Is thought, however, that in
a malorlty of cases the owners who
conspirul to avoid tax payment have
been the losers instead of the county.
As to the identity of the clerk In
the troa urer's office who tampered
with the books at the Instance of tho
go-between, the treasurer and his chief
clerk are as yet in the dnrk, but it la
thought that the developments of tho
nrxt few days will attach the guilt to
the right person.
Large Shipments of Cattle.
Weather conditions have not been
altogether favorable to corn at north
or cotton at the south, but decadence
In crop prospects is still largely a mat
ter of trade sentiment, reflecting some
reaction from earlier buoyant agricult
ural prospect?.
Harvesting, except of corn and cot
ton, has been completed except In the
more northerly sections and results In
these latter respects are more or less
secure.
The high prices of cattle, sheep, hogs
and produce are tempting and Inducing
largo shipments which ifera destined
to cause a natural downward drift In
prices. With lower prices a natural
expansion In our export business seems
,casonable to expect and corn espec
ially will probably regain ome of the
ground It lost In foreign markets as a
result of 1SIM drought.

PRESIDENT AT BOSTON
Left Nahanr, Mass , Yesterdaj
Afternoon.
Taken to Boston by Special Train
Spoke at Symphony Hall to Grea
Gathering of Business Men Speed
Devoted Entirely to Consideration o
the Trust Question.
Boston, Aug. 26. The week's worl
for President Roosevelt in his trl
through New England began in earn
est yesterday afternoon when he de
parted from the btautiful Btinime!
home of the Junior senator of Massa
chusetts, Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, a'
jvanant, and amid the enthusiasm a
the greatest number of people he bai
faced tlnce the Pittsburg visit on Julj
4, rode Into Lynn under cavalry escort
and spoke from a platform at City hall
Then he was taken to Boston bj
special train and on arrival went t(
Symphony hall, there addressing I
great gathering of Boston businesi
men. His speech here was devoted al
most entirely to consideration of tht
trust question.
From the hall the president went t
Hotel Touralne where a little later Ir
the evening he was the guest of Gov
eror Crane at dinner.
The president, in his speech at Sym
phony hall, spoke In part as follows:
I want to take up this evening th
general question of our economic anr
social relations v.ith specific reference
to that problem with which I thint
our people are greatly eoncerninf
themselves t:he problem of our coin
plex social condition as intensified by
the existence of the great corporation!
which we rather loosely designate ai
trusts. But I wish to tay one or twe
things as preliminary. In the first
place I have not come here to Bay that
I have discovered a patent cure-all foi
tho trusts.
Majority Can Be Trusted.
We founded our republic on the
theory that the average man will ai
a rule do the right thing; that In tht
long run the majority are going tc
decide for what is sane and whole
some. If our fathers were nilstakec
in that theory; If ever events become
such, not occasionally hut persistently
that the mass of the people do what
Is unwholesome, what Is wrong, ther
tho republic can not stand. Back ol
the law, back of the administration
back of our system of government
lies the average manhood of our peo
pie. In tho long run we are going tc
go up or go down according as the
average stundard of our cltlzenshif
does or does not wax in growth and
grace.
There ate very many and very diffl
cult problems with which we are facet'
as one of the results of the forcet
which, taken all together, we speak ol
as progrtss. It is worse than useless
for any of us to rail at or regret the
great growth In industrial civiliza
tion of the last half century. Speaklnf
academically we can according to oui
several temperaments regard that the
old lights have vanished or not as we
choos?. Boston and the thriving
cities of Massachusetts have been
built tip as a result of those forces.
There Is but little use in regrettlna
that thing3 have not shaped themselvpf
diffi reiitly. The practical thing to dc
Is to face the conditions as they are
and see If we can not get the best
there Is In tticm out of them. We
are not going to get any complete oi
perfect solution for all of tho evili
which come to our minds when we
think of the trusts by any single action
on our part. A good many actions In
a good many different ways will be
required before we get many of those
evils even partially remedied. We
have got to first of all think clearly
we hove got to probably experiment
somewhat.
Wise to Recognize the Evils.
It Is a little difficult to set clearly
before us all of the evils, but I think
that those gentlimen, and especially
those gentlemen of large means, whr,
deny that tho evils exist are acting
with great folly. I am far from be
lng against property when I ask that
the question of trusts be taken up
( am acting In the most conservative
snse In property's Interest.
When a great corporation Is sued
for violating the antitrust law It
Is not a move against property; It Is s
move In favor of property because
when you can makn It evident thai
all men, big and small, have to obey
tiie law you are putting the safeguard
of law around all men.
It would be very difficult for any set
of laws on our pari to deal compute!)
with a problem which becomes inter
national in Its bearings, but a great
deal ran be done in various way!
now. A great deal is being done and n
great deal more can be done if w
can see that the power Is put some
where to do It. On the whole oui
system of government has worked mar
velously well.
When this government was founded
there were no great individual or cor
porate fortunes), anil commerce and In
dustry were being carried on very
much as they had been from the days
when Niuevah and liuhylon stooil In
the Mi'sopotamian valley. The wagon
train and the park train and the sail
ing craft those were the methods ol
commerce. Everything has been rev
olutionized In the business world ever
since and the progress of civilization
from being a trickle has become a
torient.
There was no particular thing at
that time to bother us as to whether
lire nation or the stato had control ol
the corporations. They were easy tc
control. Now, however, the exact re
verse is the case and remember I say
"corporations," I do not say merely
trusts, mciely combinations of corpor
ations or corporations under certain
peculiar conditions.
Efforts to Avoid the Law.
For Instance, some time ago the at
torney general took action against a
certain trust. There has been con
siderable discussion as to whether the
trust aimed at would not seek to gel
out from under the law by becoming
a single corporation. Now I want laws
to enable us to deal with no mattei
what shape it takes. I want to see the
government able to get at it definitely,
so that the action of the government
can not be evaded by any turning
within or without federal or state
statutes.
At present we have really no efll
cient control over a big corporation
which does business in more than one
Etate. Frequently the corporation has
nothing whatever to do with the state
in which It is incorporated except to
get Incoipoiated and Its actions may
be taken In entirely different commu
nities which may object very much to
the methods of incorporation in the
state named.
I do not think you can get action by
any state, action by all the states, that
will give us satisfactory control ol
trusts or big corporations and the re
suit is at present that if we pass laws
nobody can tell whether they will
amount to anything. Now that has two
bad effects. In the first place the cor
poration becomes Indifferent; the law
making body gets Into that most
pernlcius custom of passing a law not
with reference to what will be done
under It but with reference to Its
effect on the opinions of the voters.
That is a bad thing.
What I hope to see Is power given
to the nutional legislature which shall
make the control real. It would be an
excellent thing If we could have all
tho states act on somewhat similar
linos so that it would be unnecessary
for tho national government to act,
but all of you know perfectly well tho
states won't act on similar lines.
National Control Necessary.
If we can get adequate control by
the nation of these corporations then
we can pass legislation which will
give us the power of regulation and
supervision over thini. If the nation
hail that power, mind you, I should
advocate as strenuously as I know
how that the power should he exor
cised with extreme caution and sell
restraint. No good will come from
plunging in without having looked
carefully aluad. The first thing we
want is publicity. I want publicity as
as to the essential facts in which the
public has an interest. I want the
knowledge given to the accredited
representatives of the people of facts
on which those representatives can,
if thoy boo fit, base their actions. No
suit will be undertaken for the sake
of seeming to undertake it.
Every suit that Is undertaken will
he begun because that great lawyer
and upright man whom we are so
fortunate as to have as attorney gen
eral, Mr. Knox, believes that there is
a violation of law which he can get
at, and when tho suit Is undertaken it
won't be compromised excepting on
the basis that the governmer.t wins.
Of course, gentlemen, no laws
amount to anything unless they are
administered honestly and fearlessly.
Theu I believe, I am not going to say
I am sure of it, but I believe It Is pos
sible to frame national legislation
which shall give us more power thuu
we have riw at any rate over cor
porations doing an inter-state business.
1 con not guarantee that because in
tho past it has more than once hap
pened that we have got laws on tho
statute books which those who made
them Intended to mean one thing and
when luey tame up for discussion It
was found that the intention had not
been suceesslully put Into effect. But
I believe that additional legislation can
be hud.
And when tho power has been con
ferred it will rest with the national
government to exercise it. At present
wo are going to do the best we can
with strawless bricks, but remember
they are bound to be strawless. Wiae
(iws can do something and we are not
to be excused if wo fail to Insist upu,i
those wise laws.
Must Have Honest Administration.
Honest administration of the lavtj
can do something moro, and still less
are we to he excused as a a people if we
condone or connive at a failure to ad
minister the laws by the public ser
vants of tho people. As those laws
have been enacted, after they hae
been enforced, It will remain true here
in this country as It has boon true oi
every country throughout history, that
tho fundamental factor in each man's
success In life must be that man's own
rharaetpr, the total sum of the quali
ties of truthfulness, earnestness, en
ergy, thrill and business ability on his
part.
The state cannot do as much for
you as you can do for It. I'mler no
circumstances will it be possible by
law to shape convictions so that each
man shall succeed. If the man has not
got In him the stuff out of which
he can work success the state can not
supply it. What can be done by the
state, by the nation, is to make tho
conditions such lhat eac h man shall ho
able under tie b"sl circumstances,
with everything most favorable to bun,
to work out his fate for himself.
If under those eiieiimsia: i s he fails,
I am sorry for him. I will holy him as
far as possible. I will lilt him yp 'f
he stumbles l ut I won't try tu curry
him. for that Is neither helping faiui
Dor helping me (loud applause).
