rmUADELrillA.. March 10. Presi
dent Taft was In an optimistic frame
of mind tonight when he faced several
hundred members of tha Phlladelphl;
Chamber of Commerce.
H fld them he believed the people
wre on the eve of bettr time; that
tMnira were rrowlng better and that
he bellered there would he no Itreat
ma! strike. He said he had no juris-
ilrtlon in settling strikes and that he
knew rnnuiti to wait to see If he were
welcome rather than to go "butting In
on a matter between contestant who
knew their business. The president
said he wan not a reactionary, but wa
a "progressive;" that he waa not a pes
simist, but an ojftimlst.
Prwaertlr Be Helped.
This speech was the first of several
the ITesliirnt made here tonight. In
the lltllevue-Ptratford Hotel he ad
dressed tne Society of Philadelphia.
Later the fTrsldent went to Horticul
tural Hall, near by. In hla first speech.
the President, after touching on the
proposed National Chamber of Com
mrrce. said In part:
"There I no office that the Govern
ment perforins more Important for tha
Individual In the communltv than tha
aiding of business prosperity and tha
removal from buslnesa prosrresa of
those obstacles that Interfere with
prosperity. It la when there Is lota of
business dolmr. It la when everybody
lias a Job. It Is when the wheels of
Industry are humming so loudly that
you cannot hear anything; else that
te poor nian and the wage-earner are
the happiest. It Is when he la making
gol wares and constant wages that
everybody In the community Is more
nearly happy than at any other time.
Refersaa Saaxalal Be Mac.
'"While I don't deprecate In any way
the movement for real reform and
procress, provided It Is sane and Is not
affected with fads and a disposition
to disturb those things that have been
useful to us for loo years. I am never
theless conscious that there Is no duty
heavier upon the Government at Wash
ington than that of seeing- to It that
the Government Interferes as Uttla as
possible with the progress of tha en
terprises of the country and assists
the Inspiration of confidence In those
whose confidence Is necessary to make
business to go and to bring about
prosperity.
"I am In favor of the enforcement
of the law. but I believe the law and
btiMnrss can be squared In such a way
that lho.e who violate the law may
Uo prosreutrd and there may be no
era of pers-cutlon and no disposition
to run am Hi-k Just for tha purpose of
showing that the Government at Wash
ington realise that It has a Job and
is trying to make people think It has.
Aaarrteaaa Are Ceaaervatlve.
The American people are the most
conservative people in the world. When
you get down to the startum of solid
thinking Americans there are no people
in the world that are so conservative,
that recognise a good thing with the
certainty that they do and are so bound
to adhere to that good thine as Ions;
as It serves them will.
We can talk about present govern
ment and Its defects. We know the
defects better than anybody else and
we are willing to point them out; but
we also know, as we look about the
world, that for 1:5 years we have had
the best government ever created.
That fact, however, is not going to
make us reactionary and sit back with
a smug satisfaction that shall reject
any movement for. reform or any move
ment toward progress. It. on the other
hund. does keep us sane and It does
keep us in a condition of mind where
we know that there Is no royal road to
Improvement.

"I don't mean to say that there may
Hot be some machinery that is better
adopted for the purpose than what wa
have, but what I do mean to say is that,
generally speuklnK. no new machine
is going to make a great progress that
may not be accomplished by the ex
isting machinery if the Individual only
grows better and better. It does not
' help matters to transfer from one ma
chinery to another when the same de
fects ure going to Interfere with the
second machinery that now appear In
the tlrst. And you are not going to Im
prove your community by assuming
with resptc to the new method that It
is going to work better when that new
method Is going to require three times
ii much popular attention to govern
ment as you give today.
"I believe that we are going for
ward. I believe, we are on the eve of
good tlmrs. 1 believe things are
growing better and I am delighted to
know that there Is a solution of the
soft coal strike In the West and I
sincerely hope and I believe I have
some reason to hope that the hard coal
strike la the Kaat la near solution."

statistician, gives some Interesting fig
ures on 721 football players at Har
vard. Princeton and Yale In the last
40 years.
By dint of perseverance and an Im
mense amount of labor, Mr. Davis has
secured tha history of football players
at tha three universities. To the di
versity ot occupations must be added
the diversity of location of the play
ers. Not one state In the Union, and
scarcely one colony over sea. Is to be
found In which one or mora of the
men Is not employed.
Tha streams of selection of profes
sion or business are not uniform. The
favorite occupation of the men ot Har
vard has been that of financier, capi
talist, banker and broker; Princeton
men are found In greatest numbers
In mercantile pursuits aad the law,
while the most Impressive feature of
the Yale table Is that 24 are engaged
In transportation. The classification of
the men is as follows:

Provision for Commerce Court I
Criticised Lorlmcr Case Also
Furnishes Theme for Declaring-
Issue.
' DETROIT. March 20. The Issue be
tween Theodore Roosevelt and the
present National Administration was
emphasized by a speech which tha
Colonel made here tonight. The rail
road rate bill passed by the present
Congress and th Lorimer case
furnished themes.
Colonel Roosevelt said that the rail
road rate 1)111, as submitted to Con
gress by the Administration was "a
thoroughly mischievous, and Improper
measure." The "progressive" Senators,
he sh!1, re-constructod the bill without
furnishing any additional safeguards
In the way of control. This was doing
the exact reverse or what the pro
gressives" have stood for, for they bud,
the Colonel said, ulways Insisted upon
the most thoroughgoing and far-reach-
lat; control of monopoly, when as a
practical matter It proved unwise or
impossible to break it up.
"The Administration plan was cham
pioned by Senator Aldrlch and put
through the committee unchanged,
said Colonel Roosevelt. "It wus re
constructed upon the floor of the
Semite by the "progressive" Senators
against tho violent opposition of the
reactionaries who champlonod tho
Administration. But one - of the es
sential features of the orlarlnal Admin
istration bill was left. This was the
provision for a Commerce Court. As
a matter of fact, this Is the only
provision of the bill that In practice
has worked badly. It tended In a
large degree to nullify the expert de
cislons of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. It represents retrogres
sion in that respect. But the rest of
the bill, for which the "progressive
Senators alone are entitled to the
credit, has represented a real and great
Improvement.
"I wish to call your attention to the
last Instance of the working. In actual
practice, of the President's theory of
government ot the people Dy wnat no
calls a "representative part" of the peo
ple. As I have already said, this has
always meant government by a
thoroughly unrepresentative part of the
people against the Interest of the whole
people: It means and can only mean
government of the people for the spe
cial Interests by the bosses.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE.
Cnrvallis, Or., March SO. (Special.)
The Oregon Agricultural College shut
out the Columbia University baseball
team In a snappy game today by a
to 0 score.
The Portland boys played good ball
and kept the O. A. C. team from scoring
until the last of the third Inning, when
Gross waa passed to first, sacrificed to
second by Rieben, stole third ana
reached home on a throw to third.
In the fourth, Darnell opened up
with a two-sucker and scored on an
other by Phillips after Dwart and Cole
man were out, giving O. A. C a lead
of two runs.
Fitzgerald was in good form and
with adequate support would have held
the college men down to a low score.
Five errors by his teammates gave
them a handicap of three runs. Cap
tain Rieben worked slowly In the box
until the ninth, when he used a little
speed and sent the batters back to tha
bench in consecutive order.

That Hill Military Academy will be
one of the leachng factors In the com
ing Interecholastlc baseball season. If
games with all the high schools can
be arranged. Is the prediction of a num
ber of the tans. Hill Military Academy
was represented in the last meeting
of the school officials, at which the
reorganisation of the Interscholastlo
League waa considered, and . will be
represented at the meeting to be held
at Multnomah Club tomorrow night.
Hill has about the smallest squad
to work with, but the material Is of
the best. Hill has a number of stars
formerly with the other teams of the
city, including Jones and George. Jones
In all probability will play third and
George will pitch and play In the Held.
The former was a Lincoln High School
star and the latter played with the
Washington team.
Gorman and Blacktstone, both Hill
products, loom as prospective regulars.
Blacktstone will play second while Gor
man will be In the Held.
The Acsdemy has a number of trips
on the horizon but the dates for them
are 'not quite certain. Albany High
HchooL ftalem and Astoria are on the
rout map.
