SO SAYS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT KEOKUK.
His Policy Will Not Change as Long as He Is President, So He Declares
In Speech.
KOEKUK. IOWA. October I.
(Special)—Addressing the greatest
audience ever gathered in this sec
tion of lowa, President Roosevelt to
day delivered the initial speech of
his tour that is to traverse the great
Mississippi valley and bring him into
direct touch with the people of a num
ber of the most prosperous States of
the American union. While his most
important speeches are understood to
be reserved for delivery at St. Louis
and Memphis his utterances today
were followed with the closest at
tention, being his first public remarks
after the long Summer vacation, and
following closely upon the dramatic
incidents growing out of the warfare
upon illegal acts by great combina
tions of capital.
The President’s speech was fre
quently interrupted with the great
est enthusiasm on the part of the
thousands of hearers, and no better
evidence of the immense personal pop
ularity of the speaker, as well as
of the doctrines enunicated by him,
could have been furnished than came
from this representative audience
composed of sturdy farmers and bus
iness men and artisans of a thriving
section of the great Middle West.
Must Control Corporations.
In the course of his speech Presi
dent Roosevelt declared that the nat
ional government, in the interest of
the poor people, should assume much
the same supervision and control over
the management of interstate com
mon carriers as it now exercises over
national banks. He made plea for
wise laws for the government of the
land and self mastery on the part of
the people.
He spoke of the American govern
ment being one of liberty but liberty
which came through the enforcement
of and obedience to teh laws. He
said he had been called a friend of
labor and he was. He stood ready
to do anything to better labor condi
tions except that which was wrong.
The then spoke of the
great national developers, refer
TRAINS GO THROUGH TODAY
Schedules on Seaboard Will Probably Be Resumed By
Today.
The task of clearing away the de
bris and rebuilding the railway track
at the three “washouts” on the Sea
board, east of Abbeville, will be com
pleted today, and it is expected that
trains will go through to Savannah
by tonight at furthest.
The recent cloudburst put schedules
to the bad, generally.
Besides the most serious washout,
which cost four lives Sunday morn
ing, there were two or three smaller
“breaks” on the main line and sev
eral on the Fitzgerald branch.
Where the trains from opposite di
rections could get near enough to
gether to transfer passengers this
was done, but on the main line the
washouts were several miles apart,
and transferring was thus rendered
next to impossible.
The breaks were rapidly being flll-
BURGLAR IS STILL -

The police have found no clue that ■

glar who burglarized the bank of the
Smithwick gun store Monday morn
ing or Sunday night, rifling the cash
till of $12.50. There were other rifles
at hand, but he only rifled the regis
ter. And the prospect of detection is
rather slim.

ring more articularly to the
navigable rivers. He declared
that the rivers of the country were
national assets just as much as the
sea coast harbors, and as such should
be developed for the benefit of the
people at large.
He had a few special words of ad
vice for ranchmen and said that
while lowa had many manufacturing
centers he hoped it would always re
main an agricultural state.
Referring to school questions the
President said it was signifiieant that
both from Minnesota and Georgia had
come proposals calling for the coop
eration of the national government in
the improvement of the schools.
Continuing he discussed the train
ing of children in his characteristic
style, said he was a great friend of
the West because for a number of
years he had lived and worked in the
western states, and then spoke of
the need for a modification of the
land laws referring to irrigation, a
topic of greater and increasing inter
est in the West.

Some of Roosevelt’s Thoughts.
Some of the salient thoughts in
President Roosevelt’s speech were as
follows:
The government should assume the
same control over the common car
riers as it now has over the national
banks.
We are not trying to favor any
man at the expense of his fellows.
The average American citizen will
no more tolerate government by a
mob than government by plutocracy.
We wish to see the necessary strug
gle of Mfe carried on under genuine
ly democratic principle.
The price of liberty is eternal
common sense.
I am certainly the friend of labor
but I am the friend of the business
men, too.
So far as I am concerned my policy
as long as I am President will not be
changed.
All men must mave masters. If he is
not master of himself some one else
will control him.
ed yesterday and the work may be
completed today. Snpt. H. B. Grim
shaw has been at the scene of the
recent disastrous wreck since Sun
day morning, giving the work of re
pair his personal attention.
Two work trains and gangs of men
are fast rebuilding the track, and
mail trains will go through this even
ing.
A strange fatality seems to hang
about the scene of the Sunday wreck,
wherein Engineer Charles Hines went
to his death, with others.
Only three miles away is the sc"n >
of the wreck of three weeks ago,
w y hen a passenger train fell twenty
feet through a trestle. In this latter
accident the train was in charge of
Edward I tines, who had a narrow es
cape-from death.
In a very brief tinny his brother
was killed almost at the sam:‘ spot.
