He studied music at the Bos ton Conservatory at LelpkT?? ' From 1858 to 1869 he was associated with Dr. S. G.

NEW 1/A.yy ACTED UPON Atlanta, Ga., June 30.-A new childi labor bill, today was favorably acted Lipon by the house labor committee bf the Georgia legislature.

ROOSEVELT ATTAC KS OKMOCHATH WORKS (Continued from Page 1.) the line not on size, but DU miseon-| duct Wc should encourage the big bun: >eH8 man who does well and who regards bis great abilities as a trust to be exercised us much in the Interest of the public as in hlB own Interests. But we should check and punish him effectually and promptly when he exercises those abil ities to the detriment either of the smaller business man witli whom lie competes, of the wage workers who should filiare with him tho benefits of his and their common efforts or of the general public whom he serves. About the Tariff. "As regards the tariff, I wish spec ially to call your attention to the promises made by Presddent Wilson and hhj supporters two1 years ago. They asserted that their method of tariff reduction would reduce thei cost of living and would thus solve j the trust question ..because, us they said, the trusts were the creatures, of the tariff. We then answered that their promises were empty words,' that no such results as they stated could or would follow from the course they advocated and that only by thc method we propose could either the I trust or the tariff question bc dealt with so as to abate the existing evils and at the same time increase the general well-being. Two short years! have proved us to be right. Their, promises have not been kept. Their, performance has brought distress up on the nation. The cost of living has; not been reduced. But the ability nf, the average man to gain a living has' been greatly reduced. Not the slight est progress has been made toward, solving the trust question. But the bu s i HOB H community has been h arrana- < ed and harried to no purpose; and the' prosperity of the business man has) been checked, exactly as the prosper-' ity of the farmer and the wage-worker j has been checked. As for the /armer, the present tariff, the administration'*; tariff, was so framed as to result in the sacrifice of his int?r?ts. Ho had no spokesman, no friend in high quarters and his welfare was contem ptuously sacrificed. At every noint where his Interest Waa concerned he was made to suitor. As for ?he ? age worker the resin of the tariff waa that he sufi ired ?ven mort; flau bis employer, for he wau thrown cut ot employment and lost tho meaus to earn lils livelihood. Loss of Profits. "As for the employer, sometimes ?ie has been abc to stru?gie on with tue OPS of profits, sometime? he hus hud to close his shop. In businesses in which any of the big trusta were con cerned, it was the small competitor* of the trusts who were injured and in many cases ruined. Tariff reduction as put into practice by the present administration has chiefly benefited foreign rivals and competitors. It has done grave injury to the business community and the farming commun ity and has caused suffering to the wage-workers and the whole policy ot the administration has been one to cause our o.'ople In, business, our people on the farms, our people willi dinner palls, to look toward the fu ture with grave concern and appre hension. "It is of course essential to rebuke those leaders who by the'r action helped to put the present administra tion In power, and, moreover, it is of vital consequence to the future well being of our people, to drive from public lite-all men whose political ac tivities in state and nation alike, have been such as those of Senator Penrose. ThiB is not only a political but a moral issue. I mention the name of Senator Penrose, merely because^he ,Jvptfle3 a class, I am not concerned with, him as an individual; I am concerned with him as a type. Mr. Penrose stand.. In Pennsylvania as Mr. Barnes stands in New York. When we fight these men and their activities, we are fighting the battle of all decent n.en and tn particular, we are fighting the bat tle of the honest republican rank and file, whom these men have misrepre sented and betrayed. Foreign Policy. . "It ls wt ll to keep In mind that we now have Mr. Wilson's administration, that we now suffer from a wretcheo foreign policy and from home pollcle in national aifairs which have serious, ly impaired the wt lb-being of our people, primarily because of the ac tion of Senator Penrose In associating with men of the same type like Mr. Barnes. Messrs. Penrose, Barnes and their associates at Chicago, taking ad vantage of tho fact that national nom inating conventions are not protected by law. followed, a course ot conduct morally every blt aa. bad aa that which at elections result In wrong-doers of humbler rank being put in stripes. They stole from the rank and file of the republican party the. right to gov ern themselves; to nominate their own candidates and promulgate their own platform. They took th!?, action willi the deliberate purpose ot electing j a d?mocratie president because they I Infinitely preferred the triumph of I their nominal party foes to seeing \ the control of their own organisation wrested from their hands by tba rank and filo of their own parly. They are foes of decent citizenship. Their po litical lives depend upon their keeping i politics In such condition that decent ' men cannot succeed thom and that the 1 ordinary citizens cannot net control t of their own government. Colonel Roosevelt argued that the voters of Pennsylvania ??mu? 1 repu- j diate I enisse and his no niuee-t and follower ? nd further saoelo o.? r.ne the supporters of the present adminls trallon. Concluding his indictment of "the bosses" he outllti"d what lie . styled the "specific performances'" o' the progressive party, in ti.e mattel i of stale a.id nutionil legislation, a?;J again took of the tariff question. "Our constructive program of anti trust legislation his no quarrel with large business organizations as sucii. ' On the contrary we recognize that business efficiency In production eau be attained only through business or ganization. Hut we -jemand that the government be clo?lied with all the necessary be clot'jed with all the with; all its attendant evils. "Contrasted with this program we have the Democratic anti-trust pro gram now under discussion In the senate of me United States. That pro gram proves the inadequacy of ?he democratic partv for the present and the future of the nation, lt ia, and always will be, the states rights party, tue partv opposed to Htrong federal action, the "party-afrald-or-po ver ' Furtly Commends. "The houso of representatives has passed a bill supplemental to the Sherman Antl-TruBt Act. Many of the provisions of this bill deserve com mendation, especially those which prohibit certain forms of unfair trade competition which the courts have not as yet clearly condemned, but which upright business men everywhere rec ognize a? wrong and tending to ino-{ nopojy. Similar provisions wAl .Jin. found in the progressive antl-tru'U 1MB. "But the Clayton bill goes hopeless-' ly wrong in that lt forbids specifically j any combination, or agreement in in-' terstate commerce, between any two| or mora corporations, firms or even ' individuals, which in any way lessens or restricts the competition between' them. This is the hub of their whole position. They propose thia two far-| mers selling milk across a state line cannot cooperate; and that two men; doing any business across a stale liri? . cannot form a partnership or a cor poration. They insist that there must be no big business power, concentrat ed power, or large enterprise any where, and that our business must go. back to the period of not merely 1850. but 1650; to the cobbler's bench, thc grlBt-mill, and the blacksmith's forge. "This is economic absurdity. Unlim ited competition has proved one of the greatest cursen of modern civilization. It was unlimited competition which created the great trusfi, exactly as it created the sweat-shop and Ss chiefly responsibly for child labor. The New Freedom ls merely thc exceedingly old freedom which permits each man to cut his neighbor's throat, 1'rogrcssire Plan. "The progressive plan, on the other hand," said Colonel Roosevelt, "will allow busiuct3B concentration in EO far as such concentration gives social and economic efficiency and good ser vice. But lt will also give the govern ment full power to see that business concentration does serve these neces sary ends', and that it ls not uved for unfair competition or for monpoly, or for the unfair treatment of labor or for any other antl-scoial end. j "This ls the only tenable position on the trust problem, for lt faces the facts, and does not try to turn back tba hands of the clock. By long and disappointing experience wc have had several cardinal facts hammered into us. "We have had now twenty-four years experience with rylng to reg ulate business by de-.ruction,", the colonel concluded. "Tho result has been nearly flat fallare. The admin istration proposes a policy of further destruction, even more unintelligent in conception, and certain to bo more futile In performance, than the exist ing policy which it amends, "The only alternative is the prog ressive plan,. From all of lt follows that we have a right to ask good citi zens to join against tho present ad ministration. The policies or the ad ministration should be rebuked by the people and senators and congressmen returned to Washington who will strive to end these policies." Married a Prince, Paris, June 30.-Mles Laura Mc Donald Stallo, of Cincinnati, . and Prince Francesco Sospllgltcst were married today. Among those present were Ambasrador and Mrs. Herrick and Princess Murat, sister of 'he bride. Political Am FOR COMMISSIONER R. A.
