against the floods, which. In the recent past, have, during a single twelvemonth, destroyed property otlicinlly valued at nearly twice what It would cost to Miy the southern Appalachian reserve. The maintenance of your Southern Water Power Is not less important than the preven prevention - tion prevention of floods, because If they are ln ln-Juerd - Juerd ln-Juerd your manufacturing Interests will suffer w ith them. The pel pet nation of your forests, which have done so much for the south should be one of the first objects of your public men. 1 he two senators from North Carolina have taken an honorable part in this move movement. - ment. movement. Hut i do not think that the peo people - ple people of North Carolina, or of any other southern state, have quite grasped the Importance of this movement to the commercial development and prosperity of the south. The position of honor in your parade today Is held by the Confederate veter veterans. - ans. veterans. They by their deeds reflect credit uopn their descendants and upon all Americans, both because they did their duty in war and because they did their fluty in pence. Now if the young men, their sons, will not only prove that they possess the same power of fealty to an ideal, but will also show the efficiency In the ranks of industrial life that their fatiiers, the Confederate veteranr. showed that they possessed In the ranks of war, the industrial future of this great and typically American common commonwealth - wealth commonwealth is nssured. The extraordinary development of In Industrialism - dustrialism Industrialism during the last half century has been due to several causes, but above all to the revolution in tho meth methods - ods methods of Transportation and Communication that Is, to steam and to electricity, to the railroad and the telegraphy. When this government was founded commerce was carried on by essentially the same instruments that hail been in use not only among civilized, but among barbarian, nations, ever since history dawned; that is, by wheeled vehicles drawn by animals, by pack trains, and by sailing ships and rowboats. On land this meant that commerce went In Blow, 4'umherous and expensive fashion over Mgh'way open to all. Normally these highways could not compete with water transportation, if such whs feasible be between - tween between the connecting points. All this has been changed by the de development - velopment development of the rallrouds. Save on the ocean or on lakes so large as to be practically Inland seas, transport by water has wholly lost Its old position of superiority over transport by land, while Instead of the old highways open to everyone on the same terms, but of a very limited usefulness, we have new highways railroads which are owned by private corporations, and which are practically of unlimited, instead of limit limited, - ed, limited, usefulness. The old laws and old customs which were adequate and proper to meet the old conditions need radical readjustment in order to meet these new conditions. The cardinal fea features - tures features In these changed conditions are, first, the fact that the new highway, the railway, Is from the commercial standpoint, of Infinitely greater Import Importance - ance Importance In our Industrial life than was the old highway, the wagon road; and sec second, - ond, second, that this new highway, the rail railway. - way. railway. Is In tlie hands of private owners, whereas the old highway, the wagon road, was In the hands of the Mute. The management of the new highway, tlie railroad, or rather of the Intricate web of railroad lines which cover the country, is a task infinitely more diffl diffl-cule. - cule. diffl-cule. more delicate, and more im important - portant important than the primitively easy task of acquiring or keeping in order the old highway; so that there Is properly no analogy whatever between the two cases. I do not believe in government ownership of anything which can with propriety be left in private hands, and In particular i should most stren stren-uously - uously stren-uously Object to Government Ownership of railroads. Hut 1 believe with equal firmness that it is out of the question for the government not to exercise a supervisory and regulatory right over the railroads; for it Is vital to the well well-being - being well-being of tlie public that they should be managed in a spirit of fairness and jus jus-tire - tire jus-tire toward all the public. Actual ex experience - perience experience has shown that it is not pos possible - sible possible to leave tlie railroads uneoiitrolU d. Stub a system, or rather such a lack of system. Is fertile in abuses of every kind, and puts a premium upon unscru unscrupulous - pulous unscrupulous and ruthbss cunning in railroad management: for there ar( some big shippers and some railroad managers who are always willing to take unfair advantage of their weaker competitors, and they thereby force other big ship shippers - pers shippers and big railroad men who would like to ilo decently into similar acts of wrong and injustice, under penalty of being left behind In the race for suc- o ss liiiaTnilli tit supi rvision Is needed quite as much In the Interest of the big shipper and of the railroad man who want to do right as in the interest of the small shipper and the consumer. Kxperh nee has shown that the pres present - ent present laws are defective and need amend amendment. - ment. amendment. The effort to prohibit all res restraint - traint restraint of competition, whether reason reasonable - able reasonable or unreasonable, is unwise. hat we need is to have some administra administrative - tive administrative body wilh ample power to forbid combination that Is hurtful to the pub public, - lic, public, and to prevent favoritism to one in individual - dividual individual at the expense of atioUur. in other words, we want an administra administrative - tive administrative body wilh the power to secure Fair and Just Treatment ns among all shippers who use the rail railroadsand - roadsand railroadsand all shippers have a right to use them. We must riot leave the en en-f - f en-f lerenn nt of such a law merely to the department of justice; it is out of the question for the law department of the government to do what should be pure purely - ly purely administrative work. The d part part-merit - merit part-merit of justire Is to stand behind and co-operate with the administrative body, but tho administrative body itself must be given the power to do the unrk and then held to a strict account accountability - ability accountability for the exercise of that power The lb lays of the law are proverbial, and what we need In this matter is reasonable quickness of action.

I THE I I SUBJECTS J 0 ROOSEVELT o 1 WILL I DISCUSS ooooo Washington, D. C, Oct. 19.

He will discuss the question whether it -would be better to create a coin t of Interstate commerce, or to enlarge the powers of the Interstate commerce commission. It is believed that he will make a strong plea In favor of vesting more ppwer In the commission. Next to railway rate legislation the Etibejcts most In the president's mind In preparing his message are federal control of Insurance and fed federal - eral federal regulation of political campaign contribution. Strangely enough, in both theie are serious questions of constitutionality.
