CHARLOTTE, X. C, Oct. 19. The
ovation received by President Koose
velt (luring his journey through a por
tion of Virginia continued today as he
traveled through North Carolina, Be
ginning with his arrival at Raleigh, he
was greeted by cheering crowds
en route, the , demonstration of this
city Ix-ing a fitting -farewell to the
citizens of the old Tarheel state. The
feature of the day was a visit to the
fair in progress at Raleigh. Here he
delivered anaddregs which dealt with
the irnM)rtant questions of railroad
ownership and organizations of capital
and labor. Ifis speech was given elose
attention and was frequently inter
rupted by hearty applause..
Ha i (tAni ti n I Oil fn tliA avnnnils
by Mrs. Roosevelt; and she, too, was
the recipient of much attention. ' ' ;
At Durham, where a stop of ten
minutes was made, the president de
voted his remarks to the students of
Trinity college, who gathered in foree
to meet him. A flat car had been con
verter! into a gaily decorated stand
and from- this the president spoke.
A bit of sentiment was responsible
for a short stop at Lexington, where
the president was greeted by several
hundred people, to whom he spoke
briefly. Lexington is ' the county seat
of Davidson county, the only county in
North Carolina that gave Roosevelt a
majority in the last presidential elec
tion. Tomorrow the president will pay
a visit to Roswell, (Ja., the home of
Ins mother. From there he will go to
Atlanta, where the most of the day will
be spent. Mrs. Roosevelt will leave
the president when the capital of Geor
gia is reached and return to Washing
ton. RALEIGH. X. C, Oct. 19. This was
"Roosevelt day in Raleigh and the city
was crowded as it has seldom been be
fore in its history. Arriving train
early this morning brought scores of
visitors from points throughout the
state. The center of interest was the
state fair grounds where' , President
Roosevelt delivered a speech at noon.
The president was escorted to the
grounds by a detachment of the state
guard. The speakers' stand was erect
ed near the race truck and the large
'enclosure of tho latter was packed with
a crowd eager to see and hear the na
tion's chief executive. President
Roosevelt was introduced in a brief but
cordial -address by Governor Glenn. The
president spoke for a half hour, his
principal topic being the Chinese ex
clusion policy. His reception by the
crowd was most cordial and at the con
clusion of his remarks there were loud
cheers, which were repeated afthe sta
tion as the presidential special resumed
its journey toward Atlanta. j
In his speech here the president said
I am glad here at the capital of
North Carolina to have a chance to
greet so many of the sons and;daugh
tcrs of .your great state. I congratu
late you upon the great industrial ac
tivity shown in your commonwealth, an
industrial activity .which, .to mention
thin; )ia. Tlnojl thia fitAte

second only to one other in the nam
lcr of its textile factories. You ara
showing in practical fashion your real
ization or tlie trutn mat mere musi
be a foundation At material well-being
in order that any community may make
real progress, Jdore and more you j are
giving care and attention to education;
and education means the promotion not
only of industry, but of that good cit
' izenship which rests upon individual
rights and upon ! the recognition by
each individual that he lias duties as
well as rights in other words, of. that
good citizenship which rests upon moral
integrity and intellectual freedom. I
"And now I want to say a word to
yon on a special subject in which all
the country is concerned, but in which
North Carolina has a special concern.
The preservation of the forests is vital
to the welfare of every country. One
;of the' most obvious duties which our
generation owes to the generations that
are-to come after us is to preserve the
existing forests. The prime1-difference
between civilized and uncivilized peo
ples is that in civilized peoples each
generation works not only for its own
well-being, but for the , well-being of
generations yet unborn and if we per
mit the natural resources of this land
to be destroved so that we ; hand over
to our children a heritage diminished
in value we thereby prove our unfitness
to stand in the forefront ox civilised
peoples. One of the greatest of these
Heritages is our foresf wealth. It; is
the upper altitudes of the forested
mountains that are most valuable to
the nation as a whole, especially be
cause of their effects upon thes water
. . "urrv. tenner state doc uuvu -
afford to turn these mountains over to
the Unrestrained greed of those who
would exploint them at the expense of
; the future. We cannot afford to wait
longer' before assuming control, in the
interest of the public, of these forests;
for if we do wait, the vested interested
of private parties itf them may become
- o8trongly Intrenched thai it may W
a most serious as well as " most ex
pensive task to out them. : -If the east
of Fundy to the gulf we will use, with
in; the next few years a policy set on
fact similar to that ao fortunately car
ried out in the high Sierras of the west
by j the national ' government. The
maintenance of your southern v. water
powers is not less important than the
prevention of floods, - because , if they
are injured your manufacturing inter
est will suffer with tbem. The perpet
uation of your forests, whieh have done
bo much for tho south, should be tine
of, the first objects of yonr publie men.
The extraordinary development of in
dustrialism .during the last half cen
tury has been due to several eauses,
but above all to the revolution in the
methods of transportation and commun
ication; that is, to steam and to elec
tricity, to the railroad and the tele
graph. Save on the ocean or on lakes
so large as to be practically inland seas
transport by water has wholly, lost its
old position of superiority over trans
port by land, .while instead of the old
highways open to everyone on the same
terms, but of a very limited useful
ness, we have new highways railroads
which are owned by private corpor
ations, and which are practically of un
limited, instead of limited, usefulness.
The old laws and old customs which
were adequate and proper to meet the
old conditions need radical re-adjustment
in OTder to meet these new con
ditions. The cardinal features in these
changed conditions are, first, the fact
that the new highway, the railway, is,
from the commercial standpoint,-of in
finitely greater importance in our in
dustrial lite than was the old highway,
the wagon Toad ; and, second, that this
new highway, the railway, is in the
hands of priVate owners, whereas the
old highways, the wagon roads, were
in ; the "hands- of the state. ' The man
agement of the new highway, the rail
road, or rather of . the intricate web of
rail road , lines which cover the country,
is a task infinitely more difficult, more
delicate, and more important than the
promitively easy task of acquiring or
keeping order the old highway; so that
there is properly no analogy whatever
between the two eases. I do not be
lieve in government ownership of ahy
thing which can with propriety b left
in private hands and in particular I
add most strenuously, object Xo govern
ment ownership of railways. ' But 1
believe with equal firmness that it is
out of the question for the government
not to exercise a supervicory and regu
latory right over the railroads; for it
is vital to the well-being of the publie
that they should be managed in a spir
it of fairness and justice toward all
the public. Actual experience has shown
that it is not possible to leave the rail
roads uncontrolled. Such a system, or
rather such a lack of system, is fertile
in abuses of every kind, and puts a
premium upon unscrupulous and ruth
less cunning in railroad management;
for there are some big shippers and
some railroad managers who are always
willing to take unfair advantage -of
their weaker"" competitors, and they
thereby force other big shippers and
big railroad men who would like to do
decently into similar acts of wrong and
injustice, under penalty of being left
behind in the race for. success. Gov
ernment supervision is needed quite as
much In the interest of the big shipper
and of the railroad man who wants to
do right as in the interest of the small
shipper and consumer.
"What we need is to have some ad
ministrative body with ample power to
forbid combination 'that is hurtful to
the publie and to prevent favoritism to
one individual at the expense of an
other. In other words, we want an ad
ministrative body. with the power to
secure fair and just treatment as among
all shippers who use the railroads and
all shippers have a right to use them.
We must not leave the enforcement of
such a law merely to the department
of justice; it is out of the question for
the law department of the government
to do what should be purely adminis
trative work. The department of jus
tice is to stand behind and co-operate
with the administrative body, but tho
administrative body tiself must be giv
en the power to do the-work and then
held to a strict accountability ror ine
exercise of that power. The delays of
the law are proverbial and what we
heed in this matter is reasonable quick
ness of action." ! -
" The abuses of which we have a gen
uine: right to complain take many J
snapes. iteoates are not now ocb b
en onentv. But they can be given
just as effectively in covert form; and
private cars, terminal tracks, and tne
like must be brought under the control
of the commission or administrative
body, which is to exereise supervision
by the government, nut in my juag
ment the most important thing to do
is to give , this administrative power
to make its findings effective and this
can be done only by giving it power,
when complaint is made of a given rate
as being unjust or unreasonable, if it
finds the complaint proper, then Itself
to fix ft maximum rate which it re
gards as just and reasonable, this rate
to go into enect praeucauy as oner,
that is, within a reasonable time and
to stay in effect, unless reversed by
the courts. 1 earnestly hope that we
shall see a law giving this power passed
by congress. Moreover, I hope that by
law power will be conferred upon rep
resentatives of the government capable
rurt nrmln sr , the dutv of publie ac
countants carefully to examine into the
books of railroads when so oraereu oy
the interstate commerces commission,
which should itself have power to pre
scribe what books, and what books only,
should be kept -by the railroads. tU
.1 i. t. tnSnda of the commission
any suspicion that a certain railroad
is in any shape or way giving rebate
or behaving Improperly, I wish the
jfcnm m ? ai Aft to have power as a matter
of right, not as a matter, of favor, to
make a full and exhaustive investiga
tion of ' the receipts and expenditure
of the railroad, so tnat any ti . .
4h law ma v be detected.
This is not a revolutionary proposal on
my part, for-I only wish the same pow?
er given in reference to railroads that
j- ereied it a matter of course
by the national bank examiners as re
gards national banks. : I hope to -see
all the powef that I Ihinic it ougnt

day talkl about the University and
its work.
He stated -the enrollment is double
what it was three years ago, notwith
standing the requirements for admis

tory department discontinued. Further,
he said the University of Oregon de
mands higher entrance requirements
than the average university in the Un
ited States, 75 entrance credits, a?
against the average requirement of 68.
Co-education, he president said, is
more of a success here thm in the east
where it is lookeJ upon with some dis
favor,
In the state college, he said, more
attention should be given outside read
ing and i library workf and for tab
reason the hours for graduation havt
been lessened. Physical training is not
to be neglected by the students, and a
two years' requirement in gymnasium
courses is neccsary for graduation
The president dwelt at some length on
tiie prizes offered by the University in
oratory and debate. He mentioned the
Bennett prize offered by W. J. Ilryar
for the . best essay on some political
question as -well wrth the student
time and consideration. " This prize is

ASHINOTOX, Oct. 19. Two conven

concerned in the? good of mankind-
one in his 'finances and the other in
his health and an unusually interest
ing lot of men were brought together.
More than 3,000 bankers, representing
$10,000,000,000, participated in the
congress of the American Bankers' As
sociation, and it is safe to say that
a more imposing body of men, accom
panied by handsomer women, was never
leen in: the capital. It was the ninth
innnal meeting of the association, and
their first meeting in Washington. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt and Sec
retary of the Treasury, and Mrs. Hhaw
each received the delegates, giving
quite imposing receptions.
The International Sanitary Confer

PITTSBURG, Oct. 19. The investi
gation of the condition of the Enter
prise National bank closed by the con
troller of currency yesterday shows be
yond doubt the institution was con
ducted in a manner entirely unknown
to the directors. Since the investiga
tion began, papers and notes have been
brought to their attention which they
never saw before. Among these two
were notes bearing the name of W. H.
Andrews who today stated he positively
had no paper in the bank.
A statement made by the Santa Fe
Central and Pennsylvania Development
companies, on behalf of whom the dead
cashier is said to have negotiated loans,
seems to place all the blame on Clark,
who, so far as known, left no
statement of the bank's relations with
the two companies. Supplementary
statements by the signers ot: the state

that Clark was the fiscal agent ef their
companies and as such his duty was to
raise money whenever necessary. ;r
INFIDEL TOMBSTONE AROUSES
PROTEST. ,
LAFAYETTE, Ind Oct. 21. One of
the most remarkable epitaphs ever seen
in a cemetery is on a headstone in the
Greenbush burial ground in this city.
Having convinced himself after study
and investigation that the story of the
creation and the contents of the holy
mble are fiction, Martin P. Jenners,
an eccentric citizen, possessed of con
siderable wealth, has had a hcadstono
prepared for the grave which his body
will occupy. On the front side, carved
in the stone, is the following:
"Martin P. Jenners, Born in 1840
in an old log cabin at Fourth and
Main streets. Died" "- . ' '
Below this is carved.
"The reason I don't .believe in the
Bible Is because it isn't true."
Near the bottom of the stone is en
graved. .J,
"Don't want any preaching, praying
or psalm singing on this lot. Keep off."
Several persons who have relatives
buried there have protested against
the epitaphs being permitted to remain.
Jenner is still hale and hearty.

from their ears.
Not until twenty-four hours was it
certain their lives could be saved. The
other three children did not eat of the
cheese, which was made in Powder val

DERED.
Anniversary of the Fall of Yorktown
in the Revolutionary War.
WASIIIXOTOX,Oct. ?9. This, is
the one hundred and twenty-fourth an
niversarv of the surrender of Lord
Cornwallas at Yorktown, Va. No spec
ial celebration of the great event is an
nounced anywhere, but it was the last
great conflict of the revolutionary war
and deserves to be heard in grateful
remembrance by every American, young
or old. On the 2th of September the
American and French troops formed a
circle of steel around Cornwallis and
his British veterans, numbering seven
thousand men. Trenches and parallels
were flug and a forial ' ,seigi bcun.
The French fleet, under De Grasse, ar
rived and guarded the sea front from
the British navy. On October 14 two
redoubts were taken by storm. Next
day the invaders made a fruitless sortie
and on the 17th day of October dis
played a white flag, and on the 19th,
the fourth anniversary of Burgoyne's
surrender, the British troops filed out
between the allied armies.
