CHICMjO. Oft. ".A picture of days
when stately ahtpa Bhall carry the rich
products of the central states from the
Or fat Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
through a. deep waterway, returning with
products of no value, was conjured
up today before the delegates and vis
itors to the third annual convention of
the Lnkp-to-GuIf Top Waterway Asso
ciation by able speakers, headed by Wil
liam H. Taft.
Today's utterances '-rere authoritative,
for they came from Secretary Eaunders
of the association; president Hllam
KavanauKh, head of the organization;
C harles H. IVneen, Governor of Illinois,
who spoke of the first link of the great
waterway the Chicago drafnaxe canal,
and W. H. Taft. who had general super
vision in Washington of the building of
the Fanama Canal until he resigned to
become the Presidential nominee of tire
Republican party.
Voire Like Auto Honk.
The convention opened at 10 o'clock
with a prayer by BWthnp Samuel Fallows,
of Chicago. .Mr. Kavanaugh then de
livered his annual address and Mr. Saun
ders read his report.
Mr. Taft. smiling, somewhat hoarse,
clothed in a plain business suit, entered
the stage, preceded by Mr. Ieneen.
The orchestra strurk up "The Star
Spangled Banner and the crowd, which
had been slow In coming but now filled
the big auditorium, cheered and waved
small American flags, which had been
given to every visitor, upon entering the
hall.
Mr. Taft. as he arose, prefaced his
prepared speech with an apology for his
hoarseness, saying:
"Gentlemen, 1 must apologize for my
voire. f it sounds like the honk of. an
automobile, tt may Ik? familiar to you.
but not particularly agreeable to you on
that account." He continued:

In th-1r proldentlal distribution every sec
tion of the great valVy lying between our
east and weet mountain ranges and of the
aiopes from these to their respective coast.
If we Imprvve these In accordance with a
well defined, pmgrvaslve policy we shall. In
conjunction with our great railroads and
other forma of transportation, keep race
w tth tha Industrial and commercial advance
ment of our country.
1 am not unmindful of the great expendi
ture of public monev which the prosecution
of such a policy alll entail. The expense
of carrying an article from the place where
It is to the place where It Is wanted must be
added to Its cost, whether it be In Its raw
or finished state. Therefore Its cheaper car
Ttaae results In a saving. The cost of trans
portation bv water being about one-sixth of
that bv rail, a great saving, apportioned be
tween the producer and consumer, and hence
among all the people, would follow.

RIVAL CANDIDATES MEET

characterized his opening, remarks. He
said, in part: .
"I think I can see oigns of progress
In politics. When I first began to run
for President, there were no occasions
of this kind. I think I note a larger
charity, a broader liberality and a more
kindly feeling than has sometimes pre
vailed in the past. Here the chairmen
of the respective committees meet will
ing, even In the heat of a campaign, to
pauoe for a. moment In the giving out
of estimates. Here the treasurers of
the respective committees suspend for
a moment the Investigation of the busi
ness of those who send in checks. We
shall carry away delightful recollec
tions of this occasion, for, whatever
the election may show, we may remem
ber one occasion when we were treated
with equal consideration.
"I am glad to meet at this board one
who has been honored by his party
with leadership in a great campaign.
I am glad to testify to my appreciation
of his abilities and his virtues. If I
am successful, the victory will be the
greater to have been won from ouch,
and if I am defeated, the sorrow will
be less to have been defeated by such."
Vses of Corporations.
Mr. Brjan spoke of commerce as the
great molding force in the worm ana
said that society had largely gained
through one of the great inventions that
has been made largely for the enlarge
ment of commerce the corporate en
tity. ''The corporation," he said, is a
step In advance. It enables people to
do things together what people could
not do alone. It relieves those who co
operate of the embarrassments of part
nership and It substitutes larger opera
tions and thus facilitates the work of
exchange and none who has estimated
with intelligence the usefulness of-the
corporation will for one moment think
of destroying the power that the cor
poration gives- for co-operative efforts.
"But In every new step In advance
responsibilities come. When the railroad
took the place of the turnpike, laws
were necessary that were not In the
highway, but society, recognizing that
the railroad had become a necessity, ad-
Justed Itself to the railroad and then
proceeded by legislation to correct wnai-
ever abuses might arise in the manage
ment of railroads. And so society, ac
cepting the corporation as an established
fact, is proceeding to enact such, laws as
may be necessary to make the corpora
tions serve the purpose for which they
were created, and I am sure that the
members of this association, this asso
ciation, organized for the promotion of
the city's interest, for the development
of the citizen's commerce and for the
advancement of the city's good, recog
nizes that with the large power that cor
porate action gives, restriction Is neces
sary. Man and Corporations.
"There is a difference between the
corporate man and the natural man.
There Is a difference In the creation.
God made man and placed him on his
footstool to carry out a divine decree.
Man made the corporation for a ma
terial purpose. When God made man,
he did not make the tallest man much
taller than the shortest, and he did not
make the strongest man much stronger
than the he weakest, but when the
law creates the corporate person, that
one man may be made a hundred, thou
sand, tep thousand, a million times
stronger than the God-made man.
When God made man, he set a limit to
his existence, so that If he was a bad
man. he could not be bad long."
The Introduction of Mr. Taft was as
follows:
"In the fortunes of war we acquired
alien and subject races. Our Government
assumed to lead them to the lofty emi
nence of an American. Vgr the accom
plishment of this purpose the President
sent to the Philippines a typical citizen
and an eminent counselor: a man
with the courage of his convictions. He
accomplished the high purpose of his
mission, winning both the confidence of
his countrymen and the love and grati
tude of a nation to be. Success and
honor have crowned his every effort In
an active life as citizen. Jurist, peace
maker and Cabinet officer. Through all
his career and In our Insular possessions
he has stood for the Integrity of his Gov
ernment and the majesty of right. Gen
tlemen. Mr. Taft."
Mr. Taft. whose rising was greeted
with another outburst of violent cheer
ing, prefaced his prepared speech with a
few Impromptu remarks, which created
laughter. He said:
Taft Stirs Bryan's Smiles.
"I have only begun to run for the
Presidency and I am glad to begin
when the political amenities of the
campaign are better understood. I am
exceedingly glad to meet my disting
uished opponent and fellow-guest and
to forget the rivalries and disputes of
the campaign In this inspiring hospi
tality. And I reciprocate in every way
and to the full his kindly and courte
ous words of respect and good will.
With him, I have receutly been sub
jected to a considerable strain. . But
the experiences of today have been al-
most more than I could bear. One
non-partisan speech is pretty much of
a bore (Mr. Bryan led in the merri
ment), when you are in other kind of
practice. And to have to make three
Inside of nine hours, I submit' to my
distinguished fellow-guest and oppo
nent, Is cruelty to any man." (Laugh
ter.) Mr. Taft discussed Inequalities in the
administration of justice, saying:
"All our institutons are now being
subjected to close scrutiny with a view
to proving that some of them should be
radically changed. The chief attack
Is on the Institution of private property
and is baned upon the inequalities In the
distrlhuton of wealth and of human
happiness made apparent In our system.
I believe that the institution of private
property next to that of personal liberty
has had much to do with the uplifting
and with the physical and moral im
provement of the human race, but that
it is not inconsistent with the rights of
private property to impose limitations
-upon its use for unlawful purposes and
that this is the reform needed, rather
than the abolition of the institution
itself.
"An evil which is likely to grow in
importance Is the Inequality between the
poor and the rich growing out of the
delays in the administration of Justice
between Individuals. A defect in our
system is seen in the unequal burden
which the delays and expenditures of
litigation impose on the poor litigant.
The reform must be reached through
improvement in our judicial procedure."
With the conclusion of Mr. Taft's
speech the banquet ended. The candi
dates shook hands cordially and parted,
although they were delayed in leaving
the hall by a rush of guests, who
wished to obtain their signatures.
IIOOSEVELT IX DEXIAIi AGAIN
Says He Will Not Take Stump for
Taft Hears Good Reports.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. President
Roosevelt told Senator Hemenway to
day that he did not consider it neces
sary for him (the President) to make
speeches in support of Mr. Taft. The
President said he had received numer
ous requests to go on the stump, but
he had decided not to accede to them.
The President conferred on the polit
ical situation with William L. Ward, Na
tional committeeman for New York, Sen
ator Hemenway and S. W. Mulvane. Re
publican National committeeman for Kan
sas. Both Senator Hemenway and Mr.
Mulvane told the President everything
was favorable for Taft In their states.
Mr. Ward announced that Secretary
Boot will deliver an address In New
York on Otober 31 and that he Is try
ing to induce the- Secretary to make
other speeches In favor of the Repub
lican ticket.

less attention. The speaker was accorded
frequent ovations.
Reads Speech Carefully.
There waa no attempt at oratory.
Stubbs read carefully from a manuscript
and without gesticulation or emphasis.
He gave the railroads' view of the fight
which had been waged for the regulation
of common carriers, and he told hid
hearers that if they were not Ignorant of
the essentiality of railroads to their
being, the fight would have been less
bitter. Money for railroad improvement
and building would come when the fight
ended, he said, but not before, for In
vestments of every character were paying
a higher return than railroads, with the
result that capital was seeking other and
more certain and profitable channels.
HARKIMAX'S RAILROAD POLICY
Stubbs Delivers Message to Trans-
Mississippi Congress.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7. Asserting
the rights of unborn generations of
Americans and censuring the policy that
has squandered with prodigal recklessness
the forests and lands, the waters and the
minerals upon which the future prosper
ity of the West depends, half a score of
speakers today placed before the dele
gates to the 19th Trans-Mississippi Con
gress the records of consumption and
waste established by the pioneers and
their sons In the West, and pointed the
way to economic conservation and reme
dial legislation. Except for a brief period
allowed for introduction of resolutions,
many of which were presented, the entire
day was devoted to addresses of this
character, some Improvised upon the call
of President J. B. Case, but the majority
constituting the regular programme and
showing, by careful compilation of facts
and figures, the time expended In then
preparation. Men of Light and Leading Speak.
. The Governor of one state, the Attorney-General
of another, the president or
a university and the traffic director of
a great railway system succeeded one
another upon the platform and each
from his own particular standpoint paid
his tribute to Western America and Its
people and indicated some step onward,
some short-cut-avenue in the way of des
tiny. Interest and earnestness of the
largest attendance of the session was
manifested throughout the extended se
ries of addresses by an unflagging atten
tion and discriminating outbursts of ap
plause at frequent intervals.
The reception accorded the address of
J. C. Stubbs, traffic' director of the Har
rlman lines, who arrived lest night from
Chicago to. convey to the congress the
regrets of E. H. Harriman at his inability
to attend and to assume the place on the
programme reserved for Mr. Harriman,
was the feature 'of today's deliberations.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Stubbs
reviewed, frpm the days of earliest con
struction, the Intimate associations ex
isting between the extension of transpor
tation facilities and the regions they re
claimed from the wilderness. His clear
cut references to the Panama Canal, to
the merchant marine and to other sub
jects which the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Con
gress has adopted as- Its own problems
impressed many of the delegates with the
belief that the sentiments expressed were
inspired by a sincere desire on the part
of the transportation interests of the
country to co-operate in the plans for
Western advancement.
Mr. Stubbs spoke on "The Relations of
the Railroads to Trans-Mississippi Terri
tory." Declaring he was a substitute, In
asmuch as he had been delegated by Mr.
Harriman to take his place on the pro
gramme. Mr. Stubbs said in part:
There have been committed to the man
agement of Mr. Harriman. as you all know,
certain railroad systems which serve, in
large measure, this trans-Mississippi region.
Included in these is the original trans
continental line that mr.de by the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads. It
should have been dubbed the "Trans-Mississippi
Line." Probably those systems repre
sent the largest investment of money of
any productive enterprise in all the terri
tory within the United States lying west of
the Mississippi River. They are also the
largest Individual employers of labor. Di
rectly and through these employes, they ara
tha greatest consumers of the farm, forest
and factory. Further it may be said that
the sale of transportation the product of
these enterprises invites the custom and
supplies in some near or remote way an es
sential need of every inhabitant of the ter
ritory served by them.
It would seem to follow that whosoever
Is charged with the management of these
railroads should be, personally or through
close associates, net only acquainted with
but alongside of and In touch with every
movement that makes for the good, the
growth in material wealth and the happiness
of the people In these far Western States.
These are the reasons why Mr. Harriman
accepted the Invitation to be nresent. and
they furnish the excuse for sending me here.
Mr. Harriman greatly desired to come. He
planned to do so. Less than ten days ago
he was forced to give it up

Malaria is due to impurities ia the blood -which destroy the rich,
healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid.
The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is
unable to resist the countiess disorders that assail it, and the general system
suffers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills
and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition.
Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the
blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic
and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for
this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time
an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation,
and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the
health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per
manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which
produce the disease, and while doing this tones np and strengthens every
part of the system. Book with information about Malaria and any medical

who refuse to recognize that railroads are

as being subject to the restraints of the
law. Under our form of Government super
vision and regulation by law might be ex
tended to anv other industrial pursuit if the
people willed. It has been applied to rail
roads because of their mopollstic nature and
the wel-proven fact that transportation in
this country Is absolutely necessary to the
well-being, the Industrial life, of the people.
Hence these agencies of transportation must
be restrained and regulated, lest the power
they naturally exercise be used to the iurt
rather than the help of the people. But fun
damentally the right of supervision and
regulation does not go to the extent of prac
tical management, nor should it limit the
rate of profit below that which other In
vestments of labor, skill and- money com
monly yield.
Such agencies as this Congress can, and I
hope will, be effective as a means of dis
seminating the truth concerning the carriers-
rights and needs as well as the rights
and demands of the people.
It goes without saying that our endeavors
must be honest. I firmly believe that 'they
must be co-operative.

rather the one described as having been first
completed, as you all know, was built by
the aid of the General Government. The
United States advanced large sums of
money to the company, which promoted and
built these roads, but do you know what is
true Is that the last dollar of those ad
vances has been returned to the Government
with Interest?
I welcome this opportunity to say that
my people do not object to the improvement
of the rivers, the harbors, and the water
ways of this country. That work belongs
to the General Government and ehould be
done at whatever cost wherever tnere is a
substantial need.
Not Hostile to Panama Canal.
I beg your further indulgence to make
this statement also. that, so far as I know,
and I ought to know, neither Mr. Harriman
cor his associates have antagonized the build
ing of the Panama Canal Personally I wish
It had waited on the rehabilitation of our
moribund merchant marine, which I believe
ought to be the next great endeavor of our
people; but the Panama Canal was inevitable
for many reasons. It had become a National
enterprise and no one would regret more
than I and my associated the failure of that
project.
Rates Will Be Finally Settled.
Railroad rates in thiB country, as a body,
are very low, much lower than In any other
country. Upon the average they have
yielded" smaller returns to investors than any
other productive industry that may be com
pared fairly with the railroad service. Not
only most of the states, but the Congrese,
has taken a masterful hand in regulating
and restraining the charges of railroads, so
that manifestly the public Is amply pro
tected from extortion and other forms of In
justice. The pirating of one railroad's busi
ness by newly-eone-tructed rivals that has
been practiced in the rast will not be possi
ble in the future. Vhat may be regarded

ly discriminative rates by a community will
In due couree be passed upon by commissions
and courts and In the not far distant future,
as measured by the life of our Nation, we
shall have a system or body of rates that
will not provoke bitter contention by ship
pers and carriers, though the usual contention
between buyer and seller will not ceaee.
, Many New Roads to Build.
But with all possible Improvements In the
existing railroads, the material development
of our Western States will require and de
mand much, very much, new construction.
The physical problems are solved. The
building waits only on an eaeier muney mar
ket and the revival of business, which ts
sure to come if you and those who must
construct and manage these roads are co
operative In a good business senre.
One of the most striking declara
tions of the afternoon was that of
James F. Callbreath, Jr., secretary of
the American Mining; Congress, who,
In the course of a lengthy address on
the subject of "Mining and Conserva
tion of Minerals," said in part:
"Until a few years ago the reduction
of refractory ores was in the hands
of various smelting Interests, so com
peting as to keep charges on a fairly
satisfactory basis. But the possibili
ties were too great to be neglected.
The so-called 'smelter trust, the
American Smelting & Refining Com
pany, has since been organized and
successfully operated. During the
three years ending April 30, 1908, it
made a net profit of $29,304,324 upon
a capitalization of $100,000,000, two
thirds of which was water. I want to
point out to you that the Standard Oil
Company, through its most powerful
agency, the American Smelting & Re
fining Company, today controls 75 per
cent of the best brains In the metal
lurgical world; 75 per cent of the facil
ities for ore smelting, and, through
mines already owned, .75 per cent of
the future gold, silver and copper out
put In the United States. What do
you believe will result when the Stand
ard Oil extends to these metals the
control exercised over products for
which there are substitutes?"
The speaker criticised the Federal
Government for failure to assist in
protection of the mining industry ajid
urged the importance of a National
bureau of mines.
