BIG CORPORATION QUESTION DEALT WITHJBYGARFIELD Secretary oflffitrior, Says Bad Should Be Eliminated And the Good Kept, in His Speech "at Coliseum. ALREADY WORK OF REFORM HAS STARTED.

Republican Methods Different From Those Which Mr. Bryan Advocates, But They Prove More Effective. PARTY IS LABOR'S FRIEND. REPUBLICANS HAVE TREATED LABOR FAIRLY BY PASSING LAWS WHICH HAVE BEEN GREATLY TO ITS INTEREST. CANDIDATES COMPARED. Taft Is a Worker and a Doer of Deeds While Bryan Is a Dreamer Two Thousand People Hear Cabinet Member. Two thousand persons shivered and EhcoU at the Coliseum last evening to tear an address by James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior in the cabinet of President Roosevelt. He delivered one of the most thorough campaign speeches ever made in this city. The temperature of the building was extremely low, but the enthusiasm was high. Clad in overcoats, capes and jackets, men and women applauded the words of the speaker. Preceding the meeting at the Coliseum, the drum and bugle corps and Taft Club made a jshort march on Main street. Mr. Garfield reflects the personality of President Roosevelt and was unhesitating in his manner of address. Ills style was conversational and so pleasing that the hour and a half he consumed passed all too quickly. He Bpo'ie as a man thoroughly acquainted with the facts he represented and one whose sincerity is unquestionable. Speaking far more rapidly than the ordinary campaigner, his wordB were enunciated with such distinctness that they were heard in every part of the large hall, and without extra effort on the part of the speaker. His address was conservative in detail, free from mud slinging and vituperation a preeentation of mere facts in a concise, logical manner that must carry conviction to the unprejudiced mind. In a wonderfully convincing manner, Mr. Garfield punctured the "fancies' of William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for President. Bryan was classified as a fancier, a dreamer, a chaser of theories, and the speaker told why he is such. The attempt of Bryan in his campaign to arraign one set of men against another by charging that the laboring men must fight for their lives or they will be oppressed by. capital under the dominance of the Republican -party, was classed by Mr. Garfield as dangerous campaigning. Mr. Garfield did not apply the Rooseveltlan term "undesirable" to Bryan, but said lie Is a "dangerous citizen." ! The facts set forth and the argument Advocated by the speaker, according to Ms statements, had been obtained by him as chief of the Bureau of Com merce and labor and Bureau of Corporations. It was first-hand information and for this reason the speaker was accorded the closest attention, and his words were received by the audience with telling effect. The Hon. William Dudley Foulke of this city, who was a member of the Civil Service Commission with Mr. Garfield, acted in the capacity of master of ceremonies. In presenting Mr. Garfield to the audience Mr. Foulke said: "When President Roosevelt be pan his administration; an administra tion which has been without precedent In achievement in modern times, one i,of the measures -of deepest interest to him was that of civil service reform. When he desired to rerorm the old commission. John R. Proctor, of - Kentucky, stood at the head. In a short time Mr. James Rudolph Garfield succeeded Mr. Proctor, and I have never known a more harmonious body of men to exist in connection with the government than was that commission.- We were one In all things, and It was with the greatest regret that we lost Mr. Garfield. But why did we lose him? The. evils of the spoils system were looming above everything else. ' The danger of predatory wealth was the most conspicuous and when the Bureau of Commerce and Labor was created, the President sought through the 'entire land and selected as the fittest man for the position James R. Garfield. Then he was transferred to the position of Secretary of the Interior of ,1 he United States. He has been one of J.D9 President s moat trusted advipers' He has been one ct the men

closest in touch with the man who will be the next president, William Howard Taft. This man comes before yon tonight and speaks to you as one with authority." Conflict Is Great. t ...

4 After a complimentary reference to t Mr Foulke, Mr. Garfield "entered " his : argumentive address without further preliminaries. He said in part: i fWe are in the midst of one of the ! greatest conflicts ever waged in this j country. The Republican party was ; born in the midst of conflict about fifty years ago. It came forth and offered relief. It comes to you this year ! bringing this relief and asks your vote j of confidence. It does not ask- this ; vote simply upon its record during the past. Year by year we have moved on ! and undertaken subsequent problems ' with the same spirit as that of the men of fifty years ago. Theirs were the problems of national life and this , year we are in the midst of a conflict j of as vital importance to the life of i the government as that was to the life of the nation. "The contest now is of an industrial character and effects all parts of the country alike. It is. a conflict of the commercial and industrial life that has taken its hold upon our notice. We have changed from the old lines and entered upon new ones. We are fully equipped and fully ready to take on new phases. "But we have not done all this without many evils creeping in. .The corporation was as necessary to the life of our industries as was the individual. The corporation, as w"e all know, is the creature of the state. The state gives it rules, regulations and perpetuates its life. To certain corporations it gives the right of. eminent domain. It gives certain others the power an individual could not have. But there have come wrongs into all these j phases. The men of the corporation have acquired great powers and in many instances misused them. They have not all misused their rights, but in some cases they have diverted funds for personal benefit. They have used funds of the corporations to control political sentiment. In some instances they have gained control and misused it. There are other evils under the guise of the corporation such as overcapitalization and improper bonding. There have been attempts made to disguise the real conditions. "The Republican party wants to destroy the evil and save the good. I don't believe the majority of the business men of this country is composed of dishonest merchants. The American people are guided by right ideals and the majority have not done things that have brought evil resultsTr ; , ": "The Republican party recognizes that unless some check is made to these corporations, that work evil, they may continue in their ways and for this reason has endeavored to eradicate the wrongs. Note the anti-trust law and the railroad acts. The Bureau of Corporations was created by a Republican Congress and endorsed by a Republi can president. Those, who object, say this bureau has been used for dishon est purposes. They claim it delves in to the secrets of business and makes improper" exposures. The facts are these: The bureau has undertaken under the law to find out what is wrong about these corporations and set the facts before the public just what it ought to know; the purpose of the organization is first to give publicity and second to suggest changes and remedies, and then supply the Department of Justice with these fact so it may bring action. No information is given the public that ought not be given. It stands for the right kind of publicity. It opens the books of the corporations and shows to the people what they ought to know. It shows whether a business is conducted fairly and hon estly, whether it deals fairly with the railroads or gives rebates. The commission creating corporations has the right to know what is behind them. It sees that there is no Infringement of privats rights. It has found many things were done to favor the big shippers against the smaller ones. It has found many practices which if not Il legal, were unfair. It has found many things that build up monopolies. Who is hurt not the honest, upright busl ness man, but the man who has re ceived the unfair and unjust discrim ination. It has recommended addition al powers for the Interstate Commerce Commission. It has provided an engine in the hands of the federal gov ernment that was put in motion to. pro tect the people against ufalr methods. "It found the Standard Oil Company had built up a great power by means of discrimination and rebates that were not given to competitors. It built up a practical monopoly of the entire oil trade of the country. The corporations we have attacked were attacked because they had violated the laws. We promise to go runner ana do more than we have done. We do not wish to destroy trade, but want to make our manufacturing interests stronger and better. Strikes at Bryan ."Mark hew different our system Is from that of our opponents. Mr. Bryan talks and that is all he does. What has been done by his party? When the Democrats were In power the Interstate commerce and anti-trust laws were not enforced. Today the court dockets are crowded by thousands of cases placed there as the result of the laws enforced by the Republican party. "Bryan in the past years has suggested many, things and stood for none of them. It remained for the Republican party to show there is no conflict between the state and federal governments. Bryan says he would do away with the evils of corporations by refusing to permit one man to sit as JContinued-oaPags Two.)

THE REAL

Richmond "does things," Indeed, as any one can see by looking down Main street, which is now gay with the great array, of bright bunting, white and yellow flags and festoons of electric lights. And this is only the beginning! Why all this display? Why all this preparation? Richmond is going to be at home to her guests on October 6, 7, ,and 8. Richmond is preparing she is garnishing her house and extends a hearty welcome to her many friends from the surrounding country. And why? Because Richmond merchants and Richmond business men want to know the "Real Richmond." Richmond has had a long history. Since the early part of the century Richmond has been developing her Industries and her trade. You who remember the early Richmond of the seventies do not realize the city's rapid growth. Come and see! Be Richmond's guest! There is as much difference in the Richmond of five years ago and that of today, as there is in the advertising of the two times. Just look at the advertising in this issue. Richmond is truly the market place of eastern Indiana, and she wants you her friends out "of town to know. Do not be mislead about this Fall Festival. Richmond is spending the money. Richmond has raised a great fund for prizes; for decorations; for displays; amusing, entertaining and profitable. Every feature is free. Richmond is going to have three big days. Industrial, agricultural and military. Do not miss them. Besides the instructive features which will appeal to the up-to-date farmer, there will be plenty going on. The carnival full of fantastic and eccentric features, happening in a blaze of light amidst the showers of pretty confetti, will be an unheardof thing in this part of the world. This is Richmond's greeting it's "all on Richmond." Come and be her guests and, see the "Real Richmond."

FESTIVAL PLANS ALMOST COMPLETED Places of Holding Part of Live Stock Exhibits Have Been Changed. TOO WIDELY SEPARATED. FOR THIS REASON IT WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE CHANGE FROM FORMER SITES DANCES FOR ENLISTED SOLDIERS. There "have been several changes in the original locations for the vari ous exhibits of the Fall Festival, made necessary because the first plans of the executive committee permitted these exhibits to be too widely scattered. The cattle show, which incidentally promises to be a very good one, has been changed, from South Eighth and H streets, to North Fifth and A streets. It was necessary to provide barn accommodations instead of tents for the cattle, so the committee in charge of the cattle show secured the big barn of the Richmond Cream Company, so it was decided to hold the cattle exhibition on North A street in the near vicinity of the barn. Instead of holding the poultry, pigeon and rabbit exhibitions, on -..Elm Place, in the rear of the Jones Hardware company, Adam H. Bartel Company and the Arlington hotel, it has been arranged to have these exhibits in a large empty store room on North Eighth street between the Railroad Store and the Thistlethwaite pharmacy. The plan of holding the general garden truck exhibit on the vacant lot at the corner of Main and Tenth streets has been abandoned and this exhibit will be held in connection with the agricultural exhibit at the South A street market house. It has also been decided to hold the swine exhibit at the market house. No change has been made in the plans to hold the horse show on North A street, or the flower show at the court house. This latter exhibition promises to be a most beautiful one. It has been decided to admit New Castle florists to enter this competition and Joe Hill of the flower show committee, is in New Castle today arranging for exhibits from that city. The executive committee has employed the Richmond City Band, the Richmond Union Band and the Cambridge City band to furnish music for the carnival. On Wednesday the Smittie band of Cincinnati will also be in the city, accompanying the Cincinnati Business Men's Club delegation. Owing to the fact that there have been no entries in the band competition, it has been decided to abandon this feature. The three bands that will be here during the festival will come on contract prices for their services. The executive committee at its meeting last evening, decided to ac cept the plan proposed by the Denver Brown Camp, Spanish-American War Veterans, to give two dances for the enlisted men of the Tenth Infantry on Wednesday night. As the officers of the regiment are to be entertained in-this manner on Thursday evening, the committee and the Spanish War Vetertns thought It only fight that the enlisted men should also be shown a good time. It is probable that the two dances will be heldin the I. O. O. F. hall andLuken's hall. All enlisted men in uniform will be admitted free of charge. HUK HAACO" RELEASED. "Huk Haaco" is the way the name of a stranger appeared on the arrest book in the city court. The man is a foreigner and talked sobjkenly it was impossible for the police wx learn anything about him. He tu arrested and held for the superintendent' and released after a a.uettonlajk V,

TRACTION COMPANY Feed Wires Being Permanently Attached to Main Street Poles. UP TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT. PRESIDENT STAUBACH OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS SAYS THERE IS OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THE ORDINANCE. "When the traction company laid its feed wires on cross arms at the tops of,, those. t Iron trolley,, poles, they told me that they were only placing them there temporarily. Now I see that in the past two or three days they have been at work attaching the wires per manently to the cross arms." The above was the wrathful state ment made by President George Staubach of the board of public works as he stood at the corner of Fifth and Main streets this morning and gazed at the corner of Fifth and Main streets this morning and gazed at the feed wires. "What action will the city take to compel the traction company to re move the feed wires?" was the question put to Mr. Staubach. "That Is up to council and the legal department of the city," he replied "The city, by the action the traction company has taken now has an oppor tunity to test the legality of the Main street pole- ordinance, which prohibits any overhead wires on Main street ex cept trolley wires. I think the legal department of the city, should at once bring action to compel the traction company to remove the feed wires." Mr. Staubach stated that the trac tlon company could place its feed wires in the first alley north of Main street or the first alley south of Main street and the arrangement would be just as satisfactory as placing them on the Main street trolley poles. "The city runs its feed wire for the Main street arc lights on the first alley north of Main and this 'arrangement has been found satisfactory," he stat ed. It is very pleasing to the board of public works that all wood poles have been removed from Main street by the first of this month, as It saves the city from entering into expensive litigation to enforce the ordinance. - Main street is now one of the best looking thor oughfares to be found in this section of the country and out of town peo ple who have seen it since the removal of the "pine forest" have been high ly complimentary. "Every city in Indiana should fol low Richmond s example," remarked a traveling man today. .. . . DISAGREEMENT NOT UNEXPECTED Nature of Statute in Gay Case Thought to Be Cause. The failure of the jury which heard the case of the State vs. George Gay, io agree was noi unexpected, it was believed from the start and even before any evidence was presented that the jury would not convict Mr Gay owing to the nature of the statute under which he was tried. The sec tlon or the law provided for a fine and made a jail sentence compulsory. It was not believed probable a Jury would send the proprietor of the most prominent hotel in the ctty to Jail for the alleged violation of the liquor laws. The jury took a large number of ballots and at all times, sentiment

THINKS NEW ENGLAND SAFE NOT IN DOUBTFUL COLUMN, SAYS HEAD OF INTERIOR1 DEPARTMENT, AT PUBLIC RECEPTION THIS MORNING. "Yes. Mr. Taft's election .is almost assured," remarked Secretary Garfield this morning, and former Civil Ser vice Commissioner W. D. Foulke substantiated this statement by a smile and an approving nod. "In regard to the statement that the New England States were doubtful, I, can say there is no danger from that ouarter, be cause I nave been there and I Know what I am talking about,1 continued Mr. Garfield. "The only thing the Republican par ty has to fear is over-confidence. In my travels this campaign I have found that the sentiment is unmistakably for Mr. Taft. The Republicar party has a splendid cause and , a splendid chance. If I were not an" 'old stager I, would say. that A RepaCan victory this fall was a 'sure thing, concluded Mr. Garfield. " Many Richmond people this morning attended the reception at the home of Mr. Foulke on South Eighteenth street, in honor of Mr. "Garfield. Mr. Garfield stood in the large living room of Mr. . Foulke's beautiful home, and as the stream of visitors passed by him he cordially grasped each hand, and told the visitors how glad he was to see them. Once or twice he uttered the typical Rooseveltian greeting, "deelighted." His strong personality . Jm-j pressed every one and they gazed at him with interest , for Mr. Garfield is a typical representative of that type of strong, purposeful and resourceful young men who that most strenuous and popular president, Theodore Roose velt, has surrounded fjlmself with since he has been chief executive of the nation. "Reminds me of 'his father, President Garfield, whom I met many t imes, only he is not the.eloquent talker his father was. - However, he has ' the same quiet forcefulness and strong personality. He is one of the few sons of great men who has made good," remarked an aged man to a friend as they were leaving the Foulke. home. Mr. Garfield is an ardent admirer of President Roosevelt and Is particularly Interested in the fight the President has inaugurated against abuses of all sorts. To carry - out the - fight against these evils Mr. Garfield is very emphatic in his belief that Mr. ( Taft should be elected. Mr. Garfield left this morning about 11 o'clock for Peru, Ind., where he will speak this evening. From there he will go to Chicago and then hurry back to his work in Washington. Before leaving Richmond, Mr. Garfield was driven about town and he expressed his delight, over, the beauty and prosperous appearance of the city. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

Mr. White made his address Just after the financial report of the Yearly Meeting was made at the session this forenoon.

Mr. White stated that what he had to give to the Society of Friends would come while be yet lived and that he recommended the same plan to other men of wealth. Mr. White's remarks were of such a character as to imply rthat Jthe Indiana - Yearly Meeting should not be surprised If he should make some very liberal gifts before the last of the sessions.
