TALKS OH NOB BOLE. ROOSEVELT GREETED BY ( H KFRINO CROWDS. Traversing Two State?, the Colonel S|MMtkt to Fntluislastio Audiences from Rear Platform of Train? Talks About Dishonest Corpora? tions and IVnounces Mob Rule? The Iii? "I" in His Utterances? Square Itoal and Decency his Creed. Chicago, Aug. 25. ? Theodore Roosevelt travelled across Ohio and Indiana today and was greeted every? where by enthusiastic crowds. He talked to them of honesty, respect for the law and corporations. He expressed his beliefs on questions which concern the public In more strenuous fashion than he has done since his return from Africa. During the day the Colonel made a number of speeches, although ho aald before he left Oyster Bay that he did not intend to talk from the rear platform. The crowds which greeted him to? day were larger than those which turned out to see him during his trip across New York State, and they were so Insistent In their demands to see him and hear him that he responded In every Instance. The Colonel did some plain talking to the crowds, which hurst Into the railroad yards at the larger places, swarmed across the tracks and tied up traffic. He talked against dis? honesty In corporations aad the crowds roared. He condemned dis? honest men and there were more "heers. He attacked mob rule, and was cheered again. "I will make the corporations come to time." he said In his Cleveland speech, "and I will make the mob come to time." "i shall Insist upon honesty if It breaks up the best business of the land, and shall Insist upon order un? der all circumstances," he told the same crowd. "Whenever I have the power I will keep order on the one hand and I will Insist upon Justice from the rich man and the corporation on the other." he said a little later. At Toledo he spoke again on mob rule, having in mind the street car strike In Columbus, where there has been rioting. Then he said: "The great question we have to face Is to shape things so that every American citlsen shall have a fair chance to earn his living and lead his life under the best and most fa? vorable conditions, that he shall he ted In his rights and prevented fron? wronging others in turn." From the time Col. Roosevelt reached Buffalo at 6.20 this morning, until after he had made his last speech for the day, he was kept constantly on the move. When he waa not making speeches or shaking hands, he waa talking with visitors, dosens of whom rode for a time on hla car. He said he was not talking Polin.?, nnd refused to say anything on* the New York situation. Even the news that, the delegates from Orleans Cou vty to the Republican State Convention had been Instructed to vote for him for temporary chair? man of the Con*, entlon brought forth no comment. Vhe Colonel merely smiled. flic -on ni i nor School. From The Dally Item. August 26. The regular four weeks' session of the I unmer s hool ended today.
