Stirring Address Delirered by Farnm Missourlan Heard by Enormous Crowd at Chautauqua Grounds Touches Upon those Influences Tilch Will and Hare Awakeu -J the Public Conscience to Fight. Twenty-one hundred people, It la conservatively estimated, heard Ex flavernor Josenh W. Folk's lecture on "'Era of Conscience," at the Chaut '.u qua grounds last evening, and of into number, are Included people of 'our t(.'iiities, and liberal attendance Iron all rections of Union county.. As a Bpeaker, the ex-governor im pressed his audience as a thinker, he U manifestly excellent and a pee'1 of h's fellow politicians. With two s ich qualities, it, is no wonder that his ad dress delvered In an even, pleasing, tone, struck deep In the. minds of his .listeners. The Bpeaker was introduced , by President T. A. Rinehart of the Chau tauqua association, who paid compli ment's to Mr; Folk's political career in terse sentences. With deafening ap plause, the Missourlan commenced: "The government is no worse than PATRIOTISM MAJORITY a majority of the people of the nation MERE HANDFUL HAVE REGISTER suffer It to be," he declared, and in j.D AT THIS TIME. this earnest sentence lies the keynote ef hls-address, for through it all he appealed to patriotism; not of the sort that takes men and bpya to the front rank of battle, but that patriot ism which awakens a sense of right eousness In the bouIs of men. He con tinued: ' 1 "There has been a great awaken ing on the subject of individual re-' sponsibility for the affairs of city, state and nation within the last few years. The public conscience has been aroused against evils and things are not tolerated, now that for af few years ago were submitted . to In si lence. Will the movement toward higher Ideals go on? Will not the people soon forget? Have not the people already forgotten, and will not things be allowed to go in the same old way as they were before t'le awakening of the .people? These ques tions are being asked all over the country today. , Reform sometimes die, but revolu tions never go backward, and a revo lution has been wrought in the con science of men. The awakening is merely a determination to . have the government of city, state and nation represent the public interest and not special privileges. In . the battle against privilege some ngnis ibubi ue lost. With each fight lost we should not lose courage, but fight all the harder; with each fight won we should not become apathetic, and think all has been won. If the issue could be represented squarely be tween public rights and special privi leges everywhere, there would be no doubt as to the outcome. For the ma jority of the people here and every where will do right when they know right. The representatives of privi leges are too shrewd to permit a plain issue between public rights and special privilege to go before the peo ple. They adroitly manage to com plicate the main issue with other questions bo as to bewilder men of even the best Intentions. By confus ing the issue the representatives of privilege divide the forces In opposi tion. Those who object to Teform do not usually put their protest upon the true ground, but they seek some other pretext. They ask why is not this or that done?, If one examines the source of a complaint like this he will usual ly find that It Is not because of a de- (Contlnued on page 2.) MOSQCITOS INFEST TEXAS.

Unlawful to Sign Nomination Petl ' tlong Unless Registered. " . Unusual apathy is evinced ay vot ers of Union county In not register ing. Only about' fifty have thus far compiled with the primary lawa by designating their party affiliations and giving voting precincts.

E The Doctor Sadler company is the chief attraction at the Chautauqua grounds today, and like so many pf the numbers that have preceded them, they are unusually clever.

Indianapolis, July 8. There will be no tall to the comet when , Colonel RooBevelt flashes across the Indiana political horizon, pee'chmaMog in be half or Beveridge. Democratic leaders have : bean awaiting t this announce ment for crnne time, apprehensive, and have been figuring, a scheme to counteract his influence.

Oyster Bay,' July 8. Roosevelt has become annoyed by the manner which he Is being pushed Into the Insurgent whirlpool. While no doubt he thinks the, '.'.water is just fine," the rush of Insurgents and progressives to Saga more Hill,: and the ' graphic descrip tions sent out by all correspondents, of the smiles when they depart, has tended to carry him toward the "ahow-down", point ' faster than ,he wants to go. He has announced he would keep out of ' politics for two months, and thera seems to be no little doubt but that he, is welded to the insurgents' cause. ; . .. ; ; Governor Marshall will champion Kern. He Is immensely popular with citizens and Is violently opposed to many RooBevelt policies. A , warm time Is expected as Roosevelt la popu lar and politicians say his exposing the cause of Beveridge and the insur gency, will intensify his popularity.

The proposed ' - endorsement p Jta Roosevelt more squarely In line with the Insurgents than any action he has taken since his return. Regala-s are hoping that Roosevelt will confine h!p remarks to aq eulogy of Baver !de and not touch on the republican atuu. platform, which Is dlcked by Beveridge and himself, and ; slapped the regulars' pet measures,, and prac tically repudiated the tariff bill and endorsed the Taft administration oly conditionally. , Enjoying Real Vacation.
