WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE EX­
TENDS A WELCOME TO THE
PRESIDENT.
Milwaukee, April 6.
Pr®sld®°t
Roosevelt was the guest of the Mil­
waukee Merchants and Manufactur
ers* association at a banquet at th®
Plankinton house last night, the oc­
casion being the grand climax of the
president's ten hours' visit to Milwau­
kee. Covers were laid for 530 repre­
sentative citizens.
The president sat in the center of a
long table with other guests of honor.
At his immediate right sat United
States Senator Joseph V. Quarles,
while E. A. Wadhams, president of the
Milwaukee Merchants and Manufac­
turers' association and toastmaster of
the occasion, was seated at his left.
After the banquet had been served,
Toastmaster Wadhams Introduced
President Roosevelt, who responded to
the toast "The President of the Unit­
ed States." President Roosevelt took
this occasion to give his views on
The Subject of Trusts.
The president briefly reviewed the
economic conditions which made pos­
sible the so-called trusts. He set forth
the efforts which have been made in
the past to regulate the evil and gave
the history of some of the most im­
portant suits which have been brought
against thfese combinations, notably
the Northern Securities merger, which
he dwelt on at some length. The pres­
ident then briefly outlined the most
important steps, legislative and ad­
ministrative, taken during the past
eighteen months in the direction of
solving, so far as at present it seems
practicable by national legislation
or
administration to solve, what we call
the trust problem.
"They represent," said he, "a sum
of very substantial achievement. They
represent a successful effort to devise
and apply real remedies an effort
which so far succeeded because it was
made not only with resolute purpose
and determination, but also in a
spirit of common sense afnd justice, as
far removed as possible from rancor,
hysteria, and unworthy demagog is ap­
peal.
Laws Will Be Enforced.
"In the same spirit the laws will
continue to be enforced. Not only is
the legislation recently enacted ef­
fective, but in my judgment it was
impracticable to attempt more. Noth­
ing of value is to be expected from
ceaseless agitation for radical and ex­
treme legislation. The people may
wisely, and with coT.tidSTV'e. await the
results which are reascv.ably to be ex­
pected from the impartial enforcement
of the laws which have recently been
placed
upon the statute books. Leg­
islation of a general and indiscrim­
inate character would he sure to fail,
either because it would involve all in­
terests in a common ruin, or because
it would not really reach any evil. We
have endeavored to provide discvim
inating adaptation of thu remedy to
the real mischief.
"Many of the alleged remedies ad­
vocated arc of the unpleasantly .irastic
type which seeks to destroy
itio
dis­
ease by killing the patio:.t. Others
are so
Obviously Futile
that it is somewhat difficult to treat
them seriously or as being advanced
in good faith. High among the latter
I place the effort to reach the trust
question by means of the tariff. You
can, of course, put an end to the pros­
perity of the trusts by putting an end
to the prosperity of the nation but
the price for such action seems hlg^i.
The alternative is to do exactly what
has been done during the life of the.
congress which has just closed—that
is, to endeayor not to destroy corpora­
tions, but to regulate them with a
view of doing away with whatever is
of evil In them and of making them
subserve the public use. The law is
not to be administered in the interest
of the poor man as such, nor yet In
the interest of the rich man as such,
but in the interest of the law-abiding
man. rich or poor. We are no more
against organizations of capital than
against organizations of labor. We
welcome both, demanding only that
each shall do right and shall remem­
ber its duty to the republic."

Hundred Men Were at Work at the
Time but None Were Injured.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 6.—An ex­

ternoon in No. 5 mine of the Lehigh

most gaseous in the Wyoming valley.
There were rumors that fifty men
were entombed, and in leas than half
an hour an immense crowd jjathered
about the head of the shaft and the
usual scenes ensued about tiie colliery.
An investigation began at once and it
was found that the explosion was
caused by a naked light carried by a
miner, igniting a body of gas, and the
only damage done was tho blowing
down of several doors and mine brat­
tice on the inside workings ol various
chambers and gangways. There were
100 men working In that portion of
the mine, and for a time it was feared
they were lost. The rescuing parties,

of the working chambers, but this was
