Governor Cummins calls himself a Republi
can, but by showing some sympathy with the
people as against the corporations he has # proven
that he is much nearer the Democratic party
than the 1 men who left us In 189H, who in 1S87
boasted' of t«he support they had given to th* ¦
Republican party and who now make their re- !
turn to the party contingent upon the party's
abandonment of the people's Interest. Governor
La Follette of Wisconsin has shown some ren
tiveness under Republican methods. These are
Indications of the Influences that are at work,
ami they encourage us to make our appeal to
the awakened conscience of the people.
. A letter was read from C. A. Walsh of
Ottumwa. secretary of the National Com
mittee, in which he stated that in the
Kansas City platform is to be found "a
Democratic expression of Democratic prin
ciples made -by Democrats without cor
poration dictation and without corporation
control." He maintained that the party
had -much to lose and nothing to gain by
repudiating that platform.
The banquet proper .was announced as a
gathering of Democrats without regard
to differences of opinion as to party poli
tics, but in the afternoon a meeting of
Kansas City platform adherents was held.
at.whiah«an organization was formed and.
a central committee created to work for
the insertion in the next State platform
the principles of the Kansas City plai-
Jorm. " ;¦ • ".
Bryan attended the meeting and en
dorsed the movement. "The Democracy
of America does not want 'harmony,' " he
told those present. "The Democracy of
America wants the triumph of Democratic
principles." . .
SIGNS ARE ENCOURAGING.
Bryan referred to Governor Cummins as
at the head of a protest in Iowa "against
the domination of the Republican party by
the corporations," and said:
He is going to try to Ingraft the "Iowa
Idea" In the national Republican platform.
While he seems destined to fail In his propose,
and 'while he may support the Republican ticket
no matter how odious the domination of his
party by corporations may become, let us en
courage him, ' for every word that he speaks
in favor of tiiiff reform or anti-trust legisla
tion win have an educational influence. Hia
words will go on making converts even though
he may recant rather than leave his party.
in support of the principle Is as ridiculous as It
is cowardly.
While circumstances determine the empha
sis thai should be placed upon particular Is
sues, no party can afford to abandon a right
eous position once taken for fear that to main
tain It would be unjiopular.

The procession then moved out of the
building. As It emerged from the theater
the university band played national airs
and Heafening college yella greeted the
new alumnus.
At the head of a convocation procession.
In which the young women of the col
lege participated, the* President made his
way to the site of the new law school
building, where preparations had been
made for him to lay the cornerstone. An
immense stone, weighing seven tons,
hung suspended in the air, ready to be
lowered Into place. President Roosevelt,
trowel in hand, gave the sign when the
proper time came and before the huge
mass settled upon Its foundation he cast
a small quantity of mortar beneath it.
President Harper delivered the introduc
tory address and after a short speech to
the students by President Roosevelt Dr.
T. "W. Goodspeed deposited a number of
articles in the cornerstone. An immense
crowd witnessed the ceremonies.
The President, after leaving the audi
torium to-night went at once to his room
in the hotel, where he partook of a light
luncheon. His carriage was called within
a few minutes afterward and at 10:25,
o'clock, accompanied by a number of the
local committee, he was taken to the
station of the Chicago and Northwestern,
where his train 1 was in waiting. He en

the night. At midnight the train pulled out

Taylor said it was not true that Keene
offered to sell hla Southern Pacific hold
ings at a price higher than those held
by the pool, adding that "such a thing
would .mean ruin to him or any other
man. It is false to say that Mr. Keene
offered to sell his Southern Pacific at
any price."
NEW YORK, April 2.— In reply to the
published statement by E. -H. Harriman
to the effect that every facility for in
specting the Southern Pacific stock books
had been granted on request, and that
"any failure to obtain necessary infor
mation was due s either to lack of real de
sire or inefficiency," Talbot J. Taylor
made the following statement to-day:
On the second day of March, 1903. I mad»*
application for an inspection of the .stock
books of the- Southern Pacific Company to
Alexander Millar, the secretary, and _ there
after almost every day until the 17th day of
March. 1!HW, anD'ication was repeatedly made
by my representatives, who also were stock
holders. Mr. Millar rcfu'sed to allow me or
my clerk3, through whom the applications were
made, to examine the books, resorting to one
pretext vt another, in order i.u postpone" any
inspection by us. until we found it necessary
to apply to the Circuit Court in Kentucky fcjr
an order compelling the Southern Pacific to
allow th» stockholders to Inspect the book£.
Meanwhile, the representatives of the Union
Pacific, who are alleged to be how In control
of th(» Southern Pacific Company, had sent
out all tholr requests for proxies, after which
thf-y had very little motive to prevent inspec
tion by the ofher Southern Pacific stockhold
ers.
REPLIES TO HARRIMAN.
Keene's Son-in-Law Says He Was
D.enied Access to Book.
"At 5 o'clock, in the midst of Senator
Foraker's argument, Judge Lurton an
nounced that court would be adjourned
until 9:S0 o'clock to-morrow morning. '
Maxwell was followed by Senator For
aker for the complainant. Foraker under
took at the outset to derend his clients
against any accusation of stock jobbing.
Said he:
It is shown in the affidavits that have been
filed that complainants are stockholders anO
have been stockholders for some time. They
held and controlleu at the time suit was
brought more than $2O.UtX».(HX) of fctock. Tho
pool may exist, but it has no connection with
this suit, which was brought by Talbot J.
Taylor as representative of the minority stock
holders In protecting their rights.
He said that every suggestion of fraud
ulent and unfair management of the
Southern Pacific in favor of the Union Pa
cific had been exploded by the proof.
Judge Humphrey said in response to a
question by Judge Lurton that there could
be no competition between the Union and
Southern Pacific, and therefore there
could be no possible grounds for the ap
plication for an injunction.
Judge Humphrey was followed by Max
well Evarts, who entered upon a technical
and legal defense* of the right of corpora
tions to purchase shares of stock in other
corporations and, in regard to withhold
ing dividends from the owners of the
stock in the Southern Pacific, said that
to pay them it would be necessary to bor
row great sums and the result would be
that the.public would be compelled to pay
higher charges.
I>awrence Maxwell, who represents the
Union Pacific, followed Evarts. Said he:
The charges of moral turpitude against the
directors of the Southern Pacific are dissipated
by the fact that tne very plans urojected by
Mr. Huntington are Jieing carried out. by tha
directors of the Southern Pacific.
Judge Humphrey said that the appro
priation of earnings to the improvement
of the railroad properties, instead of pay
ing dividends to preferred stock holders,
had been held by the Supreme Court of
the United States to be for the best inter
ests . of the shareholders, and that the
complainant thought the way to modernize
a railroad was to issue securities.
Judge AlexandeV Humphrey of Louis
ville, replying for the Harriman interests
to the address of Edward Lauterbach of
New York, representing Keene, continued
his remarks to-day. He adverted to the
development and improvement of both
properties and said there was no evidence
to show that the directors ever contem
plated turning over the Central Pacific to
the Union Pacific.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 2.— Tne case
of Talbot J. Taylor vs. the Southern Pa
cific* and Union Pacific will go to Judge
Lurton to-morrow morning. It only re
mains for Senator Foraker to conclude his
argument which was started this after
noon. Judge Lurton said to-night that he
expected the case to be concluded before
noon. He said two or three days would
elapse before he would render a decision.

; Roasting and blusterinc are as objectionable
among nations as among individuals, and the
public meny of a treat nation owe it to their
sen^e of national self-respect to speak cour
teously of foreign powers, just as a brave
and self-respecting man treats all %rr7«nd him
courteously. But though to boast ia bad, and
i causelessly to insult another worse, yet worse
j than all Is It to be guilty of boasting, even
without Insult, and when called to the-troof
to be unable to make such boasting good.
