guest from Iowa present, let me say, J also, like Senator Dolliver."

Colonel Roosevelt had previously quoted Senator Burkett as giving him a tribute when Burkett once said: "In the great struggle for life he. (good American) must be prepared to take the side of men rather than that of the dollar."

Then Colonel Roosevelt proceeded with his speech.

Senator Dolliver Speaks. ' When Colonel Roosevelt finished

there >vere cries of Senator Dolliver. Senator Dolliver said: "There have been three men in American history who have stated the central doctrine of our institutions so that all could understand. Jefferson gave us a doc trine of equal rights for all. Lincoln re-stated this * doctrine. It is good providence that in our time that this doctrine has been stated again in the doctrine of the 'square deal.'"

The mention of the "square deal," brought forth tremendous cheering. Senator Dolliver .concluded: "In the next ten years the young men of the United States will see to it that the doctrine of the "square deal" is made true and kept true.

Colonel on Millionaires. At the luncheon at the Field cl\jb

Colonel Roosevelt spoke of millionaires whom he liked and millionaires whom he did not like. He pointed out ' the interest of the people of Europe in the success of the representative gov­ernment in America and declared that reactionaries abroad cast sinster eyes upon America's institutions, hailing with delight every story* of graft and mob rule as evidence that government of, for and by the people must fail. Colonel Hoosevelt spoke contemptously of the "merely multi-millionaire." a man whom, he said, was discredited whenever pointed to in Europe as a typical man.

nesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 6, j 7, 8, and 9. $?!-. All indications point to one of £he

best gatherings the association has " ever held. Entries in all departments

j&Tf crowds are expected each day if the Mi* weather man treats us right

The thing that gives perhaps the greatest promise of being aoove the ordinary is the racing card for each of the three days—Sept. 7, 8, and 9. "The

I

4U

track is go®d," says Secretary Baker "and with good weather we confi­dently expect to-have the best races

' ever pulled off on the Big 4 race '• grounds." Entries are unusually

large. v The Ishikawa Jap Troupe, which . will be one of the attractions each

afternoon and evening, is a' headliner at the state fair this year, and they

•• i come recommended as being artists ••-in their line. The Mxican Zamora "Family, "America's greatest and

v Mexico's only aerialists," are truly marvels on the trapeze, high wire, etc., well worth seing. It is expected that these two companies will make an excellent program for the after­noon and evning entertainmena.

< The 64th Regiment Band of Ot-' tumwa needs no introduction to the

'' patrons of the Big 4 fair. Their rep­utation is not only state wide but

•"national. They are truly a great band and will keep things lively next week with thefr music.

The Old Soldiers' and Old Settlers' reunion will be held this year at the fair grounds the same dates as the Big 4 fair. Judging by the oratorical talent that has been secured, this will be one of the greatest and best reunions ever held.

Sioux City, Sept. 3.—Colonel Roose­velt in the presence of Senator Dolli­ver and Representative Hubbard of Iowa, today made his first public utter­ance regarding the administration of President Taft. He endorsed the presi­dent's suggestions for a tariff commis­sion and complimented him upon his negotiations with foreign countries to bring about tariff agreements.

This commendation of the president was made in the course of his speech at Mizzou park and it wa3 made known that it was purposely given within "in­surgent" territory and that both Dolli­ver and Hubbard knew in advance that Roosevelt was to say what he said, and approved it, although, they were not consulted by the colonel about his ref­erence to themselves.

Praises Dolliver and Hubbard.

Roosevelt declared the president from the beginning had advocated a tariff commission, and, lie said, Dolli­ver was the one who introduced in the senate an amendment to the tariff bill providing for such a commission. He took advantage of the opportunity to tell his hearers that throughout his term as president on every important question it was his privilege to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dolliver.

"Let me add, my friends," said Roos­evelt, "that what I have said of Dolli­ver, I can also say of your congress­man, Hubbard." 1

He included Congressman Martin of South Dakota among those who stood by him throughout his term and was

I in hearty sympathy with every pro-! gressive policy.

"It was only after a bitter fight that the friends of the commission idea got the proposition through congress," said Roosevelt. The establishment, he said, was an excellent beginning, but it should be enlarged and there are a number of necessary changes to make it more effective.

"In addition it was of very real im­portance to provide, as the present tariff does provide, for the proper treatment of the Philippines."

Tariff Agreements.

"There is another feature," contin­ued Roosevelt, "of the tariff law which is admirable and points our course in the right direction, the maximum and minimum provision, and here again I wish to point out that the value, of the provision has depended largely upon the excellent work done l)y the admin­istration in negotiations with foreign powers for its application, especially with Canada, which were the most dif­ficult of all.

"Roosevelt's Position on Tariff, "I believe in such a tariff measure of

protection as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad and that will equalize f the labor cost," said Roosevelt. "I believe in such a super­vision, in the working of the law. as to make certain that a protected industry >gives that difference to the men. and if I find that it is not given, I'd take off the tariff duty jpn that particular thing.

"I believe in protection on that bash as a principle, but when it is a mere jumble of preferences and privileges, then I'm against it."

Dolliver a Speaker. Continued calls for Dolliver brought

him to his feet. Declaring that he would hold as the greatest heritage he would leave to his children the fact that he had stood with Roosevelt when he was president, he p&id a tribute to the work being carried on by the colonel.

Hubbard also spoke, declaring that he had voted airainst the last tariff bill because he did not think it ful­filled the pledges of the republican party. He praised Roosevelt for his present course in advocating what he

Wright, 582 West Fourth street, Fri­day evening at 6:30 o'clock, aft$r the patient had been 111 but two days.

Acute inflamma­tion of the bowels forced the decedent to his bed after reaching home at mid­night Wednesday and death relieved his sufferings last evening. The pa­tient had been attended by the most skilled physicians, but the ravages of the ailment had progressed too far for human aid.

Hie had worked in Gladstone, 111.; and Indian-ola, la., for the company, and had for over a year held the night trick At the yard offices of the Burlington in this city. His unassuming manner and de­sire to please won him thei admiration of his associates in his work. HiB manliness endeared him to his friends, and to his parents and relatives and more intimate friends he was much beloved. £Je was a member of Trinity Episcopal church, and, until his occu­pation prevented it, he had b§en a memberthe choir. He was also a member of Ottumwyi lodge, No. 16, A. F. and A. M.

The funeral services will bei held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence. Interment will be made in the Ottumwa cemetery. ,,

Sioux City Commercial Club Complains

Washington. D. C., Sept, 3.—(Spec­ial).—The traffic bureau of the Sioux City commercial club today filed a complaint against the Chicago and Northwestern, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railway companys al­leging that the rate established by the defendant railroad companies of 85 itermed policies for the cents per hundred pounds on j pe0p]ei lima beans shipped from California to Sioux City in carload lots is unjust, un­reasonable and excessive. The ship­ment upon which complaint is based was a carload of lima beans shipped by B. I'lolst & Co. of Oxnard, Cal.. to Tolerton & Warfield & Co., Sioux City, on which 8 0 cents per cwt was charged and collected when a just and reason­able rate should have been 75 cents.

8URVEY OF THE DES MOINES

pfcRIVER IS PROGRESSING

i; " DESPITE OBSTACLES.. -

Within a -' short time the corps of surveyors in the party of Assistant United States Engineer A. O. Rowse will - be working in the river at Ot-tum^va. They are now close to Eddy-ville and are progressing as swiftly as possible with the task, Which by no means is an easy one. After this city is reached, the various obstacles met with on the work from Des Moines to Ottumwa will be absent, as the lower part of the river is considered much better than the upper, part. Concern­ing the work of Mr. Rowse, the Des Moines Register and Leader recently carried the following editorial ex­pression:

•It isn't likely that Major A. W. Rowpe has the easiest task in the world determining whether or not the DeB Moines river can be made navi­gable or not. "Every new sand bar that lifts itself- out of the dwindling water makes the problem harder and every cloud of Sand that rises from a river bed that ought to be submerged adds to the discouragements.

But, nevertheless, future generations will surely improve streams like the Des Moines river and utilize them for transportation' of heavy freight. What Europe, -frith its crowded population, is doing today in river and canal im­provement the United'States must do in future years, when its population

onn I become8 as, crowded and its transpor-onn Itation' problems increase. Although

-^the- railways of the country ridicule river improvement and declare that money ^ expended in keeping river channels open to boats is money wasted, they are un^idie to cope with

.the tremendously increasing freight traffic of the country. The transpor­tation demands have. for years grown more rapidly than the ability of rail­roads to meet tttem,and they will con­tinue to do so. When the United States enters upon an enlightened and economical plan of river and canal improvement the freight congestion will be relieved, and not until then. The United States needs its riVers and canals in its business an" it must have them sooner or later.
