A Figinhig Speech
Association—Copyright. Nmv- Youk, August 21.
President Koosevelt, at the laying of the corner stone of a monument at Prinoetown to commemorate! the landing of the Pilgrim Puttiers, stated that Government ought to control the railroad corporations in tho same way as they supervised tho national baid.-v He was determined that no one should amass a great fortune by special privilege, chicanery and wrong-doing or use a fortune for anti-social purposes. Something must be done to secure the conviction of trust managers in criminal prosecutions, thus stamping out the evil.
lie admitted that the financial disturbance in Wall-street was partly attributable to Government's determination to punish malefactors of great wealth who brought about financial stress in order to discredit the Government policy. It was, he said, hopeless for them'to expect a reversal of (he policy during his tenure of the Presidency.
