The growth of the trusts occu* Lpirrl the most of the President's remarks, and his declaration that the matter demanded the attention of the Federal Government, and that If necessary the Constitution should be amended to give the power to regulate the combinations of capital was list* encri to with unusual interest.

ROOSEVELT'S BOSTON SPEECH iltacki oa Illenk Comhlniiinai, He AeHtti, So Par From Rein* Acainet Property. Are For the Protection of Property?

Roston.?The week's work for President Iloom* It In bin trip tbroimii New Kngland began in earnest when he dpparted from the l>eautiful summer home of the Junior Senator of Massachusetts. Henry Cabot Lodge, at Nahant. and amid tln> enthusiasm of the greatest numl>er of people he has faced since the Pittaburg visit on July 4. rode 1 "? niii-nlrr i>?l<nrt llDll Illiu i^uia uiiuri vikiu.,1 n|M)ke from a platform at City Hall. Then he wan taken to Boston by speclal train, and on arrival went to Symphony Hall, there addressing a great gathering of Boston business men. Hi* KjK>e<-h was devoted almost entirely to consideration of the trUHt question. From the hall the President went to the Hotel Touraine. where a little later In the evening he was the guest of Governor Crane nt dinner. On the following morning the Presidential party started for Maine. President Roosevelt spoke in part as follows: "I am glad to have the chance of saying a few words to you this evening. There are several matters that I should like to discuss, and I can say in all sin?-erity that when I conv? here to New Kngland. when I come to Boston. I like to go over as many subjects as nrvaalKlA th-lt f ? ?! n 70I ljffht OU I"'""'"". r. thorn "I have great faith In your judgment. I want to take up this evening the general question of our economic and social relations with .specific reference to that problem with which I think our people are greatly concerning themselves?the problem of our complex nodal condition as intensified by the existence of the great corporations which we rather loosely designate as trusts. But I wish to say one or two things as preliminary. In th" first place I have not come here to yay that I have discovered a patent cureall for the trusts. "It ?a a little difficult to set clearly before us all of the evils, but I think that those gentlemen, and especially A# lnraa mo?ilw U'llH lliune |(riHiriiirii ui til ? deny that the evils exist. are .-feting with great folly. I am far from being against property when I ask that Mip question of trusts bo taken up. I am acting in the most conservative sense in property's interest. When a great corporation is sued for violating the anti trust law it is not a move against property; It is a move in favor of property. because when you can make it evident that all men, big and small alike, have to obey the law. you are putting the safeguard of taw around nil men. "It would be very difficult for any net of laws on our part to deal completely with a problem which become* international in its bearings, but a ?rronf Heiil mn l*? done in various ways now. A great deal Is being done and a great deal more can l?e done If we ran nee that the power is put somewhere to do it. On tlie whole, our system of government has worked mnrvelously well. But while I must tirmly believe In fixity of policy. I do not believe that policy should he fossilized, and if it is to be changed we must change our governmental method to meet it. "Now. I want laws to enable us to deal with It no matter what shape it takes. I want to see the Government to be able to get at It definitely, so that the action of the Government cannot be evaded by any turning within or without Federal or State statutes. At present we have really no efficient control over a big corporation which does business In more than one State. Frequently the corporation has nothing whatever to do with the State In which It Is Incorporated except to get incorporated. and its actions may be taken In entirely different communities, com- | munities which may object very ranch 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 of the trusts or big corporations. and the result Is at present that we have a great. powerful, artificial creation which has no creator to which it Is responsible. "Of course It is a mere truism that the corporation is the creature of the State; that the State is sovereign. Now. I want to make a real and not a nominal sovereign; to have some one sovereign to which the corporation *hall tv? really and not nominally respond ible. "What I hope to see is power given to the National legislature which shall make the control real. | "I believe it is possible to frame national legislation which shall give us more power Tmin we imvr uu??.n m?j i rate, over corporations doing nn interstate business. I think we have cot to make np our minds to thf> fart that If it proves on effort that we have not under the Constitution as it is sufficient power in dealing with these great corporations, then, no matter what our reverence for the past may be. our duty to the present and to the future will force us to see that more power is con- ! ferred upon the National Administration. And when the power lias been conferred It will rest with the National (Jovernment to exercise it. At present we are going to do the best we man with strawless bricks." Kiedai From th? Yakoa liflm.
