KEYNOTE SPEEGH (Continued from Page Seven.; but from the knowledge I hnve gained through hard experience during the many" yea rilii wmVh, under many and Tailed conditions, I have striven and toik-U with luen. I believe Ui a larger use of the governmental power to help remedy industrial wrongs because it bns been borne In on me by actual ex perience that without the exorcise of such power many cf the wrongs will go unremedied. I believe In a larger opportunity for the people themselves directly to participate Id government and to control their governmental agents, because long experience has taught me that without such control many of tbelr agents will represent them badly. By actual experience In office I have found that, as a rule, I could secure the triumph of the causes In which I most believed, not from the politicians and the men who claim an exceptional right to speak In business and government, but by going over their beads and appealing directly to the people themselves, irI am not under the slightest delusion as to any power that during my polit ical career I have at any time possessed. Whutever of power I at any time bad I obtained from the people. I could exercise it only ao long as and to the extent thnt the people not merely be lieved in me, but heartily backed me up. Whatever I did an president I was able to do only because I bad the back ing of the people Wbea on any point jljjlj hot hnve that backing, when on any point I differed from the people, it mattered not whether I was right or whether I was wrong, my power van-) irhed. I tried my best to lead the peo- pie, to advise them, to tell them what J iIth'j;:r'it was. right; If necessary I '';":.. Vo.ii.ued to tell them what I thought they ought to hear, even though It would lie unpleasant for them to hear it, but I recognized that my task i was t,o try to lead them nnd not to ! drive them, to take them into my confi dence, to try to show them that I was right nnd then loyally and lu pood fullb to accept their decision. I will do any thing for the people except what my ( conscience tells nie is wrong, nnd that , I cau do for no man and no set of men. j I hold that n man cannot serve the people well unless he serves his con science, but I hold nlso that where his conscience bids lihn refuse to do what the people desire he should not try to ! continue In ollice against their will. Our government system should be fo he cannot conscientiously carry out the wishes if the people, shall at their desire leave his office and not misrep- resent them In office, and I hold that ' the puhlle servant can by so doing liet- ter than In any other way serve both the") and his conscience. "Surely there never was n fight better worth making than the one in which we are engaged. It little matters what befalls any one of us who for the time being Htauds in the forefront of the kit tle. I hope we shall win. ami I liellevo that if we can wake the people to what the fight really means we nIiiiII win. Rut, win or lose, we shall not falter. Whatever fate may at the moment overtake any of us. the movement Itself will not stop. Our cause Is based on the eternal principles of riuliteotiiiess. and even tlmugli we win, :...w ,.v f,,r the time fall lu the end the cause itself shall triumph. Six weeks hum. here in Chicugo, I Kpoke to the hiinet repre sentatives of n co' u utloi, which was not dominated by honest men. a con vention wherein sat. iiIms. a majority of men w ho, with sneering indifference to every principle of rl-lit. u acted as to bring to n shameful end a party which had Isi-n founded over half n century ago by men In whose souls burned the fire of lofty endeavor. Now to you men who In your turn have come together to spend ami ,, spent In the endless crusade nuvilnst wrong, to you who face the future resolute and confident, to you who strive In a spirit of hrotlierl., ,sl f,.r the better ment of our nation, to you who gird yourselves for V..U treat new Hutu i-i the never ending warfare f.ir the good of humankind. I say in Hosing what In that speech I said In c'ou: Wetiind at Armageddon, and we battle for tln Lord." Gil 11 i MESS HERE I I DAD" BR1XJS AX ENTIRELY SEW j nrsui WITH HIM. Fans Expected to Patronize Games More Liberally ThU Meek. "Dad" Olinlin. whom La Grande fans know as the big centerfielder for Boise a man with touches of gray hair in bis forelocks and 12 players hopped off the rattler shortly after midnight !hl. morning and have been taking measurements of the town pre paratory to appearing on the home stead across the track this afternoon. "Dad" has a great bunch of ball play era and they seem to have hit tbelr gait. They are still within striking distance of tbe bunting and claim that the next two weeks will tell the tale for them. All they want Is for Pen dleton to take tbe measurement of tbe Bears this week and tbe Pippins next week then they will do the refit. That Is tbe way Dad looks at It. Of course, La Grande will get a chance to see the wonderful Mays work this week and he Is familiar, but the bugs are also anxious to get a glimpse at the rest of the pitching staff Glmlln has recruited and it cer tainly Is some staff. That La Grande should contribute liberal gate money this week Is the concensus of opinion. The fans haven't seen big ball for many a day now and Boise has been here but once before so win or lose, La Grande fans should contribute this week If they ever expect to. The burden of the expense account has been falling on the real promoters the business men while the fans have been buy with the anvil choruB and stay al home. Ninety-five per cent, of the knockers don't go near the games and never have they think because La Grande Is not leading the pennai i that she has not been playing ha; I worlh the money charged at the gale Albeit, the weather is conducive to good attendances and that the wee will break records Is generally deem ed to be likely.

The other Ore-"'1 gon delegate Is L. M. Curl of Albany. J . j S S i ' ; Denver, Colo., Aug. 6 Charged with I the duty of legislating for the frater nal interests of nearly three quarters of a million members, the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias as- i sembled for its biennial meeting here j today and will continue in session j about ten days. The meeting promises to be the most important ever held by the gov erning body of the order. Much in terest centers around the general elec tion Thursday. It is conceded that the nresent supreme vice-chancellor. Thomas J. Carling of Macon, Ga., will be elevated to the office of supreme chancellor in succession to George M. Hanson of Maine. The principal contest will be for the office of su preme vice chancellor for which there are five candidates; Benjamin I. Sal inger of Iowa: B. S. Young of Ohio, William Ladew of New York, Charles S. Davis of Colorado and John J. ; Brown of Illinois. , A number of Important legislative i matters will come before tbe supreme 1 lodge for consideration and action. Some minor changes in the ritual will probably be made and action will be taken on proposals to reduce the age limit for members from 21 to land, to extend the order into foreign lands. The grand lodge of Ontario, Manitoba and British Colulmba have asked that the order be extended to the 'mother country," and It is probable that the request will be granted. i Another topic that will engage the; attention of the supreme lodge will be Pythian Education," the extension of the knowledge of Pythian knight-' hood and Its work. Supreme Chancel lor Hanson will .speak at length on this subject and it is expected thn; I the body will give much thoughtful I consideration to the plans proposed. The meeting will discuss prelimi-. nary plans for the proper observance ' of the golden Jubilee of the order two years hence. It is proposed that-tnel anniversary shall be celebrated with 1 a great meeting of the membership in Washington, D. C, where tbe first lodee of the order was instituted Feb-1 ruary 19, 1804, by Justus H. Rathbonc i and about a dozen associates. Frou-. : this modest beginning the Knlghti of Pythias has increased Its membership , to a total of 711.000, distributed anion :cia'. heists In all parts of th . I I'nited States and Canada and In Mex- i ico, China. Cuba, Hawaii, Panama j and the Philippines. A unique feature of the week's pro gram will be a meeting at which re;- ' resentatlves of three of the great fra ternities, representing an aggregate of more than 3.000,000 mnihers. ill' 'mphnslze the place and power oi .r::-: lof iv !"rMvI'luu! and national life will he John ii.
