WARM RECEPTION DOWN EAST.
;
Talks on Cuba, Porto Rico, the Snvy
and the Duties of Good
Citizenship Speech at
Portland.
AUGUSTA, Me., Au. 26. President
Roosevelt today passed through three
states, delivered eight speeches and re
ceived the plaudits of 250,000 people. The
greeting "which has marked his progress
through New England, has been flattering
in the extreme, and today's experience
demonstrated his popularity perhaps more
than ever before. Everywhere at the reg
ular stops and the smaller stations along
the road tho people -were strenuous In
their efforts to catch a glimpse of him or
to hear him speak, and at Haverhill, Mass.,
this desire assumed such a form that the
crowds completely overrode the police and
surrounded the President's carriage, mak
ing it difficult for it to advance.
The day's journey was not -without Its
incidents. As the President was about to
board his car at South Lawrence. Mass.,
after delivering his address, the leader of
the band stepped up to him and made
himself known to him. Ho said his name
was Banan, a former cowpuncher and
barber, at Medora, N. D., where the Pres
ident's Tanch Is located. The President
Immediately recognized him and greeted
blm as an old friend. The man, evidently
desiring the President to know that he
had profited by his advice, given some
years ago. said to him:
"You told me 'to get marrlgd and settle
down, and I did. I have got six children
myself," which afforded the President no
little amusement.
Conspicuous among those -who boarded
the train at Old Orchard to extend a wel
come to the President was Congressman
Xilttlefield, of Rockland. His visit was
brief, and the conversation turned on oth
er subjects than trusts. Mr. Llttlefleld
declined to comment on the President's
last night's speech, pleading that he had
not finished reading it. When Danville
Junction was reached, the President "was
greeted by Postmaster-General and Mrs.
Payne. Mrs. Garrett A. Hobart and Mrs.
Charles Emory Smith. Mr. Payne accom
panied the President to Lewlston.
Some stops were made which were not
on the itinerary. At Lisbon. Lisbon Falls
and Brunswick. Me., immense crowds
gathered, and the President, in response to
their clamorous calls, was obliged to ap
pear on the rear platform and say a few
words.
The President tonight Is the guest of
Governor Hill, who met him at the station
and escorted him to his residence, where
the President made a short address. The
Governor's house has become historic be
cause of the fact that it was the home of
James G. Blaine, and the President occu
pies tonight the Identical bedroom used by
that statesman.
In response to urgent requests, he
spoke for 45 minutes from a platform
erected near the front of the Blaine resi
dence. He said. In part:
"It would be difficult for any man
speaking to this audience and for any
one in front of the house Blaine once
lived in to fall to feel whatever of Ameri
canism there was in him stirred to the
depths. I knew Mr. Blaine quite well
when he was Secretary of State, and I
have thought again and again during the
past years how pleased he would havo
been to see many of the principles for
which he had stood, approach fruition.
He felt that this Republic must take -a
great part among the great nations of
the earth. The last four years have shown
how true that feeling of his was. He
had always hoped that we would have a
peculiarly Intimate relation with the
countries south of us. He could hardly
have anticipated, no one could have, the
Spanish War and Its offects. In conse
quence of that war, America's interest
in the tropic Islands to our South and
the seas and coasts surrounding those
islands Is far greater than ever before.
"Our Interest in the Monroe Doctrine
is more concrete than ever before. The
Monroe Doctrine Is simply a statement
of our very firm belief that on this con
tinent the nations how existing here must
be left to work out their own destinies
among themselves, and that'the continent
Is no longer to be regarded as colonizing
ground for any European power. The one
power on the continent that can make
that doctrine effective, of course, is our
selves, for in the world as it Is, gentle
men, the nation which advanced a great
doctrine likely to Interfere in any way
with other nations must posees-3 power to
'back it up. If she wishes the doctrine
to be respected. We stand firmly on the
Monroe .Doctrine, and the events of the
last nine months have rendered it evident
that we shall soon embark on tho work
of excavating the isthmian canal to con
nect two great oceanB a work destined
to be probably the greatest engineering
feat of the twentieth century a greater
engineering feat than has ever been suc
cessfully attempted by the nations of
mankind; and as it Is the biggest of Its
kind to be done, I am glad it Is the United
States that is doing It,"
The principal address of the day was at
Portland. It was 2:10-when the Presidential-
party rtached there. As the train ar
rived at the Union Station, a salute of 21
guns was fired by the Portland Reserves.
President Roosevelt was met by Mayor
Boothby, and was introduced to a delega
tion of citizens, including Thomas B. Reed,
Judge William L. Putnam. Judge Clar
ence Hale, ex-Governor Henry B. Cleaves,
General Joshua L Chamberlain, James-H.
Baxter and ex-GovernoryFrederlck Roble.
Speech at Portland.
The President was escorted to a raised
platform just outside the train-shed and
spoke for 15 minutes to a crowd that
filled the great square. The President
said:
"Mr. Mayor and you, my feliow-citlzens,
men and women of Maine: I wish to say
a word to you In recognition of a great
ecrvlce rendered, not only to all our
country, but to the entire people of demo
cratic government throughout the world,
by one of your citizens. The best Institu
tions are no good if they won't work. If
you build the handsomest engine and It
won't go. Its usefulness would be limited.
Well, that Is just about the way that
Congress had become at the time wnen
Thomas B. Reed wao dected Speaker. We
had all the machinery, hut it did not
work. That was the trouble, and you
had to find some powerful man who
would disregard the storm of obloquy
lure to be aroused by what he did to get
It to work. Such a man was found when
"ilr. Reed was made Speaker. .Now. we
may differ among ourselves as to policy;
we may differ among ourselves as to
what course the Government should fol
low, but if we possess any intelligence
tre roust be united. If government can
hpt go on It Is no government. If the
Legislature cannot enact laws, then there
Is no use of misnaming It a Legislative
body and if, according to principle, tne
pajoxity Is to rule, some method by
prhlch It can rule murt be provided. Gov
ernment by the majority In Congress had
practically come to a stop when Mr.
heed became Speaker. Mr. Reed, at the
Vst of infinite labor, at the ,cost of the
lercest attacks, succeeded In restoring
!hat old principle and now. through Con
tress, wo can do as well or ill according
la the people demand, but at any rate
le can do something. We will be Giat
much ahead and we owe it more than to
any other one man to your fellow-citizen,
Mr. Reed, and it is a great thing for the
city, ,a great thing for A any man to be
able to feel that in some one crisis he
left his mark deeply scored for good In
the history of his country, and Tom
Reed. has. the right to that feeling.
"Now, a word or two more: I was
greeted here not only by your Mayor,
not only by other men standing high, but
by you. General '(turning to General
Chamberlain) to whom it was given, at
the supreme moment Qt the war, to win
the supreme regard of a soldier. All
honor to the man, and may we keep our
selves from envying those to whom came
the supreme good fortune of winning the
medal of honor for mighty deeds done in
tho mightiest battle that the .nineteenth
century saw Gettysburg. I see every
where I stop men who in the thnes that
tried the Nation's worth, rose level to
the Notion's need and offered up life
gladly to the Nation at large, the men
who fought In the Civil War from '61 to
'C5. They taught us much by their life
In war time, and they have taught us
as much by their life ever since. They
were soldiers when we needed soldlera
and they were of the very best kind, and
when the need for citizenship In civil
lifo came, they showed us they could
give us the highest kind of citizenship.
Not merely did they give us a reunited
country, not only did they leave ns the
memory of the great deeds they did to
be forever after an inspiration to us, but
they left us the memory of the way the
deed was done.
"All the time, gentlemen, we have peo
ple often entirely well meaning, who will
rise up and tell us that by some patent
device we can all bo saved in citizenship
or in social life. Now, General, and you,
and you (pointing) who wear the button,
when you came down to the root of things
in war times you had to depend upon the
qualities of manhood which had made
good soldiers from the days when tho
children of Israel marched out of Egypt.
Rifles now instead of bows then, but the
man behind the rifle Is more Important
than the rifle Itself. So with our laws.
We need good laws. We need a wise ad
ministration of the law and upright and
fearless administration of the law. But
the best legislation ever devised by the
will of man, and the best law that was
ever put on the statute books will not
avail to save us If the average citizen has
not In him the root of right living.
"I believe that this Nation will rise
level to any great emergency that may
meet It, but It will only be because now.
In our ordinary workaday life. In times of
peace, in the times when no .great crisis
Is upon us, we school ourselves by con
stant practice in the commonplace, every
day duties, so that when the time arrives
we shall show that we have learned
aright the primary lessons of good citizen
ship." Carriages were then taken for a drive
to points of Interest about the city. From
the station the party drove up Congress
street the entire length of tho city to the
Eastern promenade and Fort Allen Park,
where a fine view of Portland harbor was
afforded. At Fort Allen the line was re
versed and proceeded about the city, -visiting
the several public park3. A stop was
made at the Longfellow mansion, where
the President Inscribed his name on the
guest register. A short . call was- also
made at the residence of Thomas B. Reed,
at the Cumberland Club, .and at the home
of Captain John Parker, U. S. A.
THE DAY'S TOUIU

Visit Maine.

freshing sleep at a hotel in this city, Pres
ident Roosevelt left at 8:35 o'clock over
the Boston &Malne road to continue his

PORTO RICO AXD CUBA
Subjects of the President's Speech,
nt Loivell.
LOWELL, Mass.. Aug. 25. For 25 minutes
today this city entertained the President
of the United States. On the run from Bos
ton, the towns of West Medford. Winches
ter and North Blllcrica turned out im
mense crowds, who gave a rousing cheer
as the train passed by. At each place the
President appeared on the platform and
acknowledged the greetings.
The special train arrived here at 9:19 A.
M., and Its arrival was signalled by the
firing of the Presidential salute by the lo
cal mllltla, and the G. A. R. performed
guard duty. The sidewalks about the sta
tion were thronged, and the common,
which was the scene of the Teal reception,
was black with humanity. Ac.tlng Mayor
Badger and a committee of the city gov
ernment met the President and party at
tho station and were presented by Charles
M Allen, ex-Governor of Porto Rico.
After a few words of welcome the narty
took carriages and drove rapidly to the
common through streets arched with
bunting and lined with cheering people.
Arriving at the speaker's stand, the
President and party wero presented to
the people by the Mayor. The sentrica,
Spanish-American War veterans, stood on
either side of the President as he rose to
speak. Cheers and applause greeted him.
The President first cald that he wished
fo lay special stress upon the greeting
of the men of the G. A. R. and to hl3
comrades of the Ninth Regiment, beside
whom, he said, "I, myself, served at
Santiago." (Cheers and applause.)
"When I got on the train this morning,"
the President continued, "one of the first
to greet me was ex-Governor Allen, of
Porto Rico, your fellow-townsman. (Ap
plause.) Now you don't hear much about
tho government of Porto Rico, because
there Is nothing sensational Jn a complete
success. (Laughter and applause.) Under
Governor Allen and since under his suc
cessor, Porto Rico has been governed so
well that it Is not entitled to any space
in tho newspapers. (Laughter.)
"Now, gentlemen, - we havo done our
full duty by Porto Rico. We have done
our duty by Cuba. But I want to nir
these people to act further than underO
a sense oi oare auty. to act in a. spirit
of generosity, such as befits a great re
public in dealing with a new and weaker
republic, which itself has started on the
career of self-government. And' I want,
furthermore, that our people should be
awaka to their own Interests In the seas
and lands south of our country. We drove
out these who had been oppressing Cuba
and we cleaned house for them. Not an
easy task, for many of those cities have
never been cleaned before In their entire
history. We Introduced a school system.
We made justice in fact as well as In
name. We stamped out the plague of
yellow fever, a plague which was a
menace not only to Cuba, but to our
own Southern States, and then we left
them independence. But from the very
necessities of the case, wc are bound
to have Intimate relations with them.
Cuba has got to be. In a sense, a part
of our internal policy system, and I ask
most earnestly that In return we make
her part of our economic system by estab
lishing reclproclal trade relations with
her. (Applause, cheers and cries of
'right') I ask It in her interest and I
ask it In ours.
"There Is a great market in Cuba, and
I wish to see it controlled In the inter
est of our own people. I am speaking
In one of the oldest industrial centers
of the country, and one of the places In
which modern Industrialism in America
took Its rise. I am speaking In a place
which. In addition to being an Industrial
center, has always been willing to de
vote Its best blood and Its effort on be
half of any moral question that touched
the consciences of Its citizens.
"You have felt the need of doing the
practical business work necessary to be
done and you have also responded to
every call to ,do more than that worse
Now I ask that you show both traits In
dealing with the country's islands, and
the islands couth of us, with which we
have been, brought Into such close rela
tions, as the result of the Spanish War
We did well in Cuba; we did well in
Porto Rico. That was because we- could
count on the services of men like Gov
ernor Allen, services which should be
both interested and intelligent Mind
you, both. Tou have got to have moral
ity first, but if morality has not got
common cense with it, the result will
be unhappy; and now in dealing w(th
Cuba, in dealing with tho Isthmus across
which we are now to build a great Inter
oceanlo eanal, we must remember that
we can do good with ourselves perma
nently only if we do good to those with
whom we are brought Into contact; that
wo must keep both facts well in mind.
We must keep our own Interests as well
as the interests of tho weaker peoples
whose destiny is now inextricably inter
woven with ours. I ask you to see to It
that we give4Cuba reciprocity with this
country, primarily in Cuba's interest, but
also for our own great benefit. I thank
you."
At the close of his speech the President
passed to his carriage. At the rear of
the platform he found ,the local camp of
Spanish War Veterans drawn up "at
present." The President smiled, and,
standing up in his carriage spoke a few
words to them. Including "I'm mighty
glad to see you." He was then driven
back to the station.
Brief Stop at Ln.vrr.ence.
LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug; 25. President
Roosevelt and his party, amid tho boom
ing of cannon, were received here by
Mayor Leonard and members of the city
government today. The President was
escorted to a temporary stand erected at
the station, where he briefly addressed
NEWLY-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF OREGON PRESS
ASSOCIATION.
GRANT'S PASS.. Auff. 20. (Spe-
cls.1.) Arthur Conklln, the newly
elected president of the Oregon
Press Association, has been Identi
fied with the newspaper fraternity
of the state -for a number of years,
and is classed as ono of. tbe ablest
publishers of Southern Oregon. He
has been editor of tho Oregon Mln--lng
Journal, of Grant's Pas, al
most from Its' fcomniencement. the
paper being founded nearly eight
years aco. Mr. Conklln came to
Southern Oregon before the comple
tion of tho old Oregon & California
Railroad, now the Southern Pacific
coming from New York Citr and
reeking the brisker atmosphere
of the West for the benefit of his
health. He c&nra direct to Grant's
Pata, then In Its Infancy, and In
vested heavily In real estate In the
growing and promising town. His
first lnyestments hero were in farm
lands, he at ono time being propri
etor and manager of three farms
and fruit farms in Josephine Coun
ty. Before coming West Mr. Conk
lln was engaged in the printing and
publishing business, being connect
ed with tbe well-known publishing houre of Little fi: Co., of New York
Cltr, where the North American Review, Forum and other noted publications
wera published. Mr. Conklln Is well Qualified for the position to which be has

ditions favored tho event Tho President

speaking, tho President stepped back to
the train. As it began to move, whistles
from a dozen engines were blown and
tho battery guns boomed again. The
train left at 10:30, on schedule time, for
Haverbi)!.
SECRETARY MOODY'S HOME.
The President Devotes a Few Re
xaarka to the Navy.
HAVERHILL, Mass., Aug. 25. Presi
dent Roosevelt was greeted here by a
crowd which packed the route through
which he was driven' from the station, to
Washington Square, where he delivered a
20-minute address and filled all available
space around the stand from which he
spoke. The decorations along the route
were the most elaborate ever seen In this
vicinity. Constant cheering prevailed
from the time that the President arrived
until he began his address, and interrup
tions while he spoke were frequent Tho
President said:
"Naturally, at the home of Secretary
Moody, I should like to Bay a word or two
about the Navy. You see that when one
Massachusetts man would leave the Navy
Department I had to find another Mas
sachusetts man to take his place. I think
that whenever we touch on the Navy we
aro sure of just such a response out on the
mountains and great plains of the West as
upon tho Atlantic or Pacific seaboards.
The entiro country Is vitally" interested in
the Navy, because an efficient Navy of
an adequate size Is not only .the best
guarantee of peace, but It Is tilso the sur
est means for seeing that If war does come
the result shall be honorable to our good
name and favorable to our National in
terests. "Any really great nation must be pecu
liarly sensitive to two things stain on tho
National honor at home and disgrace to
tho National arms abroad. Our honor at
-borne, our honor in domestic and Internal
affairs Is at all times In our own keeping
and depends simply upon the National pos
session of an awakened public conscience.
But tho only way to make our honor re
spected, not by our own deeds but by the
deeds of others. Is by readlnoss In advance.
"In three great crises in our history
during the 19th century In the War of
1S12, in the Civil War and again in tho
Spanish War, the Navy rendered to the
Nation services of literally incalculable
worth. In the Civil War we had to
meet antagonists een more prepared at
sea than wo were. On both the other oc
caslong'wo encountered foreign foes, and
the fighting was done entirely by shipr
built long in advance and by officers and
crows who had been trained during years
of sea service for the supreme day when
their qualities were put to the final test
It was this preparedness which was tho
true secret of the enormous difference in
efficiency between our Navy and that of
the Spanish Nation. There was no lack
of courage and devotion among the Span
lards, but on our side. In addition to the
courage and devotion, there waa also tllat
training which comes only as the result
of years of thorough and painstaking
practice.
"Annapolis is, with the sole- exception
of its sister academy at West Point the
most typically democratic and American
school of learning and preparation that
there Is In the entire country. There each
man enters on his merits, stands on his
merits and graduates Into service where
only his merits will enable him to be of
value. The enlisted men aro of fine type,
as they needs roust be to do their work
well, and out of the fine material thus
provided, the finished man-of-war man
Is evolved by years of sea service. It is
Impossible after the outbreak of war to
Improvise either tho ships or the men of
a navy. The shipbuilders and gunmakers
must keep ever on the alert so that no
rivalB pass them by, and the officers and
enlisted men on board the ships must in
their turn, by the exercise of unflagging
and intelligent zeal, keep themselves fit to
get the best use out of the weapons of
war entrusted to their care. The Instru
ment Is always Important, but the man
who uses It Is more Important still,
"No nation has a right; to undertake a
big task unless It Is prepared to do It In
effective and masterful style. It would
be an Intolerable humiliation for us to
embark on such a course of action as
followed from our declaration of war with
Spain and not make good our. words by
deeds not be ready to prove our truth by
our. endeavor whenever the need calls.
The good work of building up the Navy
must go on without cessation."
DOVER MEETS A PRESIDENT.
A TnUc on tbe Snbjcct oi Good Citi
zenship. DOVER, N. H.. Aug. 26. For the first
time in the history of Dover, which was
founded In 1632, a President of the United
States was a -guest here today. Thou
sands joined In the welcom6 toPresldent
Roosevelt
On the "arrival of the Presidential 'party
they were received by Mayor A. G.
Whlttemore and a committee. Under an
escort of militia, the guests were escorted
to a platform In Franklin Square, whero
the President delivered an address. He
said:
"Mr. Mayor and you. my fellow-cltlzens,
men and women of New Hampshire:
I speak here In one of the oldest cities
of the 13 colonies from which sprang the
United States, and both in your p'ast and
your present you epitomize much of the
National life. We are all of U3 apt to
get to talking and thinking of the Nation
and the state as abstractions. If we will
think of ourselves and our neighbors,
how we get along and how they get
along, we will have a pretty fair Idea of
what can be done, simply on a larger
scale. In the Nation and the state. Look
at your own history hero in Dover; go
through tho pioneer days, and from them
down, to the modern city, the product of
the great Industrialism of our time.
"We are here now, you are hero now.
I am addressing you all because of the
great Industrial expansion symbolized by
your factories, by the railroad, the tele
graph and all of their attendants. We
would not be hero if it wero not for them,
but they have caused great questions to
rise In our National life. It Is a more
complicated buslncES, Mr. Mayor, to run
this city than It was to run Dover when
Dover consisted of a dozen log cabins.
Arthur Conlclin.
With the growth In wealth and prosperity
has como an accentuation of differences
between man which do .harm in many
ways, do harm when they make one man
arrogant, which do equal harm when they
make another man envious. Our salva
tion, as In tho old days, Ilea in the prac
tical application of principles that In the
ordinary we admit to be the only princi
ples according to which It Is possible to
administer thl3 Republic The principle
of treating with man on his worth as a
man Is a principle of recognizing facts -as
they are. If we have not got in tho lift
toward righteousness, the lift towards
something better than material needs,
prosperity will be a curse Instead of a
blessing. We need It we need It as a
foundation. Wo can't build a house with
out a foundation, but tho foundation is
not the house. You -ha,e got to have the
superstructure; you have got to have. In
addition to It business energy, the thrift,
industry which has produced centers of
Industrial activity like this. You have to
have, you must havo In addition to the
spirit that made the men of this neighbor
hood foremost In the revolution, that
made this state do her duty so well and
so nobly in tho Civil War. We need busi
ness energy, business thrift
"We need other things, too; we have
got to have a proper ideal of our lives.
Each man must do his duty by his neigh
bor in private life and to the representa
tive of himself and neighbor, tho state.
And to do that you needhree qualities.
You need more, but you need three Above
all, honesty In the first place; you can do
nothing without It and that Is .not
enough. I den't care how honest a man.
if he Is timid ho Is of very Httle U8e in
the world; you have got to have courage
as well as honesty. I do not care how
brave and honest a man Is, It he Is a
natural born fool, you can do little with
him. In addition to honesty. In addition
to courage, you need common sense and
sometimes one !s tempted to think It
much too uncommon a quality. You need
those qualities In private life and you
need them in public -life. There are great
problems ahead or us as a Nation, but
tho greatest problem Is the problem of
making better men and women of us alL
I thank you for listening.",
On returning to the train, the President
found representatives of Governor John
F. Hill, of Maine, who had como to escort
the Presidential party across the New
Hampshire line.
DOWX EAST WELCOME.
Arrival of the Presidential Party In
the State of Maine.
PORTLAND. Me., Aug. 2C President
Roosevelt came into Maine this after
noon, after having visited many places
In the other New England States, and
before his departure tomorrow night he
will have visited every Congressional
District In the state, the principal city In
each district and the home city of each
of Maine's United States Senators. At
every stopping place along the line a
great crowd had gathered and the Presi
dent was accorded a genuine down-East
welcome.
At Old Orchard, where the special train
made Its first 3top after crossing the
state line, thousands of persons from all
parjg. of York and lower Cumberland
Counties had gathered. The halt was a
brief one, only 29 minutes, but- the Pres
ident after receiving a tumultuous greet
ing, spoke briefly before the journey v was
continued. Tho President addressed his
opening remraks to several Grand Army
veterans who were present and spoke
of Malnc'3 record In the Civil War.
"In those days," he said, "Maine was
a lesson .for all for the way her boys
bore themselves In war. Since then and
now, she Is a lesson to us because of
the high average of citizenship that
shows in her borders and I think It Is
the same reason In the one case as In the
other. The fact Is that here you have
remained on the whole true to tho old
American theory of treating each man
on his worth as a jnan without regard
to the Incidentals of his position. Now
you, over there, (pointing) he was in the
great war. Yes. When you went to
war and moved Into battle you took
an Immense Interest In what the man on
your right hand and your left did, but
you did not care in tho least whether
they were bankers or lumbermen of farm
ers or what. If they stayed. That Is
what you wanted. What you wanted
was to know that the man had -the right
stuff, In him. And If he had, you were
for him. and If he had not you were
not for him. You have got to have the
same principle' in citizenship. You have
got to apply the smo principle In civil
life that you made successful la the.
days when you fought because the Nation
called to you In her direst need."
When the train left for Portland, Sen-
Passed Gravel Stone
as Large as a Pea.
ROYERSFORD, Pa.. April 13th, 1902.
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N..Y. ,
Gentlemenr-I had been a sufferer from
kidney trouble for about olght years, with
pain. In side, back and head, about 6 or 8
months ago I concluded to try a bottle
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Tt my
surprise I experienced a decided relief
before I had taken half of the bottle, and
ono mornlnp passed a gravel stone as
large as a pea, which I still .have In my
possession and will be pleased to show to
any ono rho doubts the efficacy of this
wonderful remedy. One month ajco. find
ing some of the old symptoms returning
I purchased a 50c bottle of Swamp-Root
at Dr. Morey's Drug; Store, and before
I had taken, one-fourth of It I found in
the vessel which I had voided during the
night a teaspoonful of small gravel
stones and sand, the passing of which was
immediately followed by relief.

FRATERNAL CONGRESS.
Annual Meeting: Opens at Denver
The Several Sections.
DENVER, Aug. 26. Tho National Fra
ternal Congress, the central organization
of the fraternal and insurance orders of
this country and Canada, met in annual
convention here today, President W. A.
Warner, M. D., of Topeka, Kan., presid
ing. There are over 300 accredited delegates
in attendance. Fifty-seven fraternal so
cieties hold membership In the congress
and tho highest officials of more than 50
of these are attending the convention. At
the opening session welcomes were ex
tended by united States Senator THoraas
M. Patterson, on behalf of tho West;
by Governor Orman, on behalf of the
state: by Mayor Wright, on behalf of the
city, and by F. A. Falkenburg, for the
Colorado Auxiliary Congress.
Tho annual report of President Ed
L. Young, of the National Fraternal
Press Association, was largely devoted
to the action of Third Assistant Post
master General Madden In excluding fra
ternal publications containing advertise
ments from the malls as second class
matter. Many speeches were made de
nouncing this construction of the law.
The medical section of the congress
was called to order by President M. -R.
Brown, M. "D., of Chicago. Interesting
among- the papers tead was one by Dr.
O. Millard, of tho Knights of the Loyal
Guard, of Flint Mich., on "Mortality and
Its Costs." He reported that the Na
tional Fraternal Congress experience
tablo shows a death rate at 40 years of
13.4 per cent, starting with 100.000 lives
at 20 years. As to this table Dr. Mil
lard said: "I am constrained to call
the attention of this body to the fact
that our table shows at the ago of 40
that the mortality has increased about
3 per cent over that of tables that have
been standard anywhere In 'the United
States or Canada, except In tropical ex
perience, for a long time."
Dr. Millard suggested as a .probable
cause, the "hustle and lodgo system, with
the desire to increase membership, and
at the same time the payment to the
fraternal societies of about one-third that
paid by old line companies to their med
ical examiners for a like amount of
work." Dr. Millard closed with an elab
orate and carefully prepared table of the
costs of mortality.
J. G. Johnson, of Peabody, Kan., Presi
dent of the law section, made many valu
able suggestions in his annual Report on
legal .questions affecting fraternal so
cieties. Officers were elected today as follows:
National Fraternal Press Association,
President, E. L. Wood. Flint .Mich.;
Vice-President, E. M. Hoag, Philadelphia;
secretary-treasurer, A. B. Stevenson,
Chicago; Medical Section, chairman. Dr.
Ira Porter, Omaha; vice-chairman, Dr.
F. A. Smith, Zanesvllle, O.; secretary.
Dr. Emma D. Cook, Detroit. Mich.
DE WITTE A BLUFFER.
His Threats of Tariff War ISot Taken
Seriously.
ST. PETERSBURG? Aug. 9. The last
note of M. Do Witte. the Russian Min
ister of Finance, to the foreign press on
the sugar question has not been published
in Russia. Among those Russians who
have read It In foreign papers, It appears
to have caused unbounded astonishment
M. De WItte's conviction that "In this
question the powers will be guided by
their Interest and not by what Is right"
and his threat in case any Increase of
duties Is enforced against Russian sugar,
"that the Russian Government will con
sider Itself free to disregard treaty stip
ulations when It thinks fit" along with
the system of guerrilla tariff warfare he
laid down, are considered as out-wlttlng
even the Russian Finance Minister. The
Russian critics of M. De Wltte point out
that as the sugar convention will become
effective after the expiration of most of
the Russian commercial treaties, the
finance ministry will be wise not to take
general measures against the powers col
lectively, but to adopt "measures which
will bo the most advantageous for Russia
in the special circumstances of each
case."
They also point out that about a year
ago M. De Wltte was fulminating
threats of what he would do in case Ger
many carried out her tariff policy, threats
of which nothing more has been heard.
Always a subject of lively Interest, M. De
Wltte and his financial system and
policy have lately more than ever en
gaged the serious attention of Russian
economists and men of affairs generally.
It Is expressing matters mildly to say
that the possibility vof his plunging tho
country Into a series of commercial con
flicts has caused downright alarm in wide
circles of the Russian people. Tho anxiety
would be intensified were It not suspected
that M. De Wltte Is Indulging In a bit of
bluff. Since M. De Wltte procured the
closing of the Imperial Free Economical
Society, after over 100 years of honored
activity, his critics have been largely si
lenced. Bis Lumber Company Fails.

of the New York Supreme Court, sitting
In the Appellate division, has handed
down a decision In which- he holds that
gross extravagance and forgery commit
ted by a wife to ralae money do not In

a suit brought on the grounds mentioned.
In discussing the case. Justice Spring is

"A husband 'takes a wife for better or
worse, and because she docs not conform
her expenditures to his notions of econo
my Is not a ground for casting her from
him."
