ABERDEEN. 8. Dl, April . President
Roosevelt today traversed South Dakota
and made mora speeches than on any
other day during his present trio. He be
gan with two speeches at Blour Falls this
morning and ended his 12th speech this
evening at Aberdeen. Speeches were con
flned for the roost part, to the .tariff and
to the general prosperity ol the country.
In all hlo speeches today he followed close
ly th lines of his former addresses on
these subjects. The President was ac
corded a cordial welcome at the different
stopping places, and at many stations
where the train did not stop crowds gath
ered and cheered aa the special train sped
by. One feature of the day was the large
number of children In the various aud
iences and the President referred to them
several times, saying that he waa glad to
see that the stock was not dying out.
The President had as his guests during
the day Senators Klttredge and Gamble,
and Representatives Martin and. Burke,
the South Dakota delegation In Congress.
They left the train at Aberdeen.
At Tulare the President departed from
his custom, and, descending from his car,
shook hands with the people gathered at.
the station.
Yankton was the first stop after the
train left Sioux Falls. To the multitude
at Yankton, the President spoke on the
tariff and the qualities of good citizenship,
saying in this connection:
"It has been a pleasure to see you. and
I can sum up all I have to say to you In
Just a couple of phrases. Tou need wise
laws. See that you get them. You need
honest administration of tho laws. See
that vou have it. But don't make the
mistake of thinking that any law or any
administration of law can take the place
of the fundamental qualities that make a
good Individual citizen and make a good
nation, the qualities of honesty, of cour
age and of good, common sense."
Prosperity and Tariff.
At Mitchell the President made the long
est address of the day. His audience was
large and his speech was frequently In
terrupted by applause. Here be discussed
the work of individuals and the Important
part they play In the upbuilding of the
Nation.
"You can lift up a man It he stumbles:
If he lies down, you cannot carry him. If
you try to. It will not help him and It will
not help you. So, .fundamentally. It must
rest upon yourself to win success. As I
said, law can do something, wise legisla
tion of the Government can do something.
If you have lawa badly administered they
will stop any prosperity. It Is easy enough
to get a bad law that will stop the whole
business, but to get a good law Is not so
easy. It Is easy to sit outside and say
how the man inside should run the ma
chine, but it Is not so easy to go Inside
and run the machine yourself.
"This prosperity to which we have at
tained has been reached under a series
of economic moves Included in a system,
though carrying out certain Ideas in the
currency and In the tariff. We cannot af
ford to reverse the system. Improvement
can be made In it. In the tariff, for In
stance, schedules are not sacred, and. as
the needs of the Nation change and shift.
It will be necessary to change certain
schedules to meet those shifting needs."
May Visit Dfadirood.
The other stops of the day were made
at Woonsocket, Scotland, Tripp, Parkston,
Alpena and Redfleld.
There la a possibility of the President
spending a day In Deadwood. He has made
a conditional promise to Captain Seth
Bullock, who will travel with him as far
as Billings, Mont., that. If the snow Is too
deep in Yellowstone Park he will leave
there one day earlier thau he had Intend
ed and will spend a day at Deadwood.
Bullock has promised the President a good
time, and is planning a regular cowboy
Jollification.
The President is scheduled to arrive at
Fargo, N. D., at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow
morning, but he will ljot leave his car
until S30 o'clock. At Fargo the President
will deliver one of the longest speeches of
his tour. He will spend tomorrow In

Mayor Julius Flelshmann said: "The
election of the entire Republican ticket Is
a victory of the people of Cincinnati. They
have filed -their protest against the
defamation of their city's fair name. This
triumph means not only that Cincinnati

It means that the next Governor will be

NEW YORK. April 8. William J. Bryan
has notified his New York friends that he
will be In the East in May, and that he
will deliver a series of addresses on po
litical subjects In the States of New York,
Rhode Island. Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Maryland, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The first of these addresses will probably
be delivered at the Academy of Music In
Brooklyn.
It seems now likely that his Brooklyn
speech will be the only one Mr. Bryan
will deliver In the State of New York, as
his time will be limited and he has many
more Invitations to speak than be can
possibly accept.
Colorado Legislature In Deadlock.
DENVER. April 6. At midnight tonight,

appropriation bill. The bill appropriating
noo.000 for the St. Louis fair was passed
tonight The Senate confirmed the nomi
nation Dl John M. Maxwell, of Leadvllle,
as a Judge of the Court of Appeals. Un
less the general appropriation bill Is
passed, an extra session will be unavoid
able. CUBA IS GRATEFUL.
Palma'a Message to Congress Ex
presses Admiration of Roosevelt.
HAVANA. April . Congress reassem
bled todar and will probably continue In
session three extra months on account of
the necessity for the enactment of many
laws .before all the departments of the
government get thoroughly" under way. A
message from President Raima was read.
The message says:
"Our relations with the United States
continue to be. close and cordial. Much
more gratifying' is the noble and resolutely
favorable attitude of the President of that
great republic It Is enough to remember
the obstacles which bis stubborn will have
overcome In negotiating the reciprocity
treaty and obtaining the ratification there
of, and his firm purpose to summon a
special session of Congress to definitely
approve of It. Besides the sympathy and
respect which we Inspire among the Amer
ican people by our exemplary conduct as
an independent people who realize the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship,
these circumstances powerfully contribute
In solidifying the good understanding be
tween the two nations.
"It is our Interest to worthily cultivate
these sentiments and we cannot do so
better than by carrying out our obliga
tions to the Washington Government ex
peditiously, frankly and correctly, wheth
er It Is by grant of what we ought to
grant, or refusing what we consider our
selves Justified in refusing.
"The government is at present occupied
with the Isle of Pines matter, and It has
reason to hope that the settlement thereof
will be satisfactory to Cuba."
President Palma expresses the hope that
the question of Incorporating into the
treaty all the provisions of the Piatt
amendment will soon be settled, and adds
that after this has been done it will seem
unnecessary that the Piatt amendment
should remain any longer a part of tho
constitution.
NEW BISHOPS FOR CUBA.
Pope Creates Dioceses of Plnar del
Rio and Clenfaegos.
CHICAGO. April . A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: At Palm Sun
day service here, the secretary of Arch
bishop Chapelle read en encyclical from
the Pope In Latin and Spanish. The fol
lowing Is an extract:
"Since we ascertained that the vaatness
of the territory In the diocese of Havana
and Santiago and the Increase In tho Cath
olic population render the visitations of
the bishops extremely difficult, we have
resolved to Increase the number of prel
ates. We 'have therefore added the dio
ceses of Plnar del Rio and Clentuegoa.
The diocese of Plnar del Rio comprises
the Province of Santa Clara. Santiago
will remain tne principal see, to which
will be subject the dioceses of Havana,
Plnar del Rio and Ctenfuegos.
"Porto Rico is severed from the see of
Santiago and becomes Immediately subject
to Rome.
"For the present let everybody In the
sacred .orders wholly abstain from Inter
ference In political matters. No man be
ing a soldier, of God entangleth himself In
recular business."
Archbishop Chapelle has been instructed
to call a provincial council as soon as
the new bishops are appointed. The en
cyclical provides for the restoration of the
schools and chapters at HaVana and San
tiago under special care of the church.

WASHINGTON. April 6. The following
cablegram was received today from United

Santo Domingo, yesterday:
"Government warship fired three shots

Taking Desperate Chances.
It Is true that many contract colds and
recover from thtm without taking any
precaution or treatment, and a knowledge
of this fact leads others to take their
chances Instead of giving their colds the
needed attention. It should be borne In
mind that every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality and makes the sys
tem less able to withstand each succeeding
cold and pares the way for more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's

At Slonx City He Telia "What Acrlenl.
tnral Department Has Done Peace .
Between Labor and Capital.
SIOUX FALLS, a D.. April 6. Presi
dent Roosevelt began the second week of
his tour la a strenuous way. He rose
early, feeling touch refreshed from yes
terday's rest, and at 730 started on a
drive with Secretary Loeb, Senator Kltt
redge and Mayor Burnside. Despite the
early hour and dreary weather, the
streets were lined with people, who
STeeted the President enthusiastically,
and at S30 the President arrived at the
big Auditorium, where he addressed 4000
children.
"I believe In work and I believe In
play." said the President. "I would be
sorry not to see you enjoy yourselves,
but do not let,rlay Interfere with work.
Do your work cheerfully, boys. Re
member the manlier yon wish to be the
nicer you can afford -to-be at home. I
would be ashamed of aboy who was a
bully to the weak.
"When you play, be -fair, but play hard,
and then work hard it your studies. If
you get hurt, keep on playing. Work
with your whole heart In all things."
As the President left the Auditorium
he was greeted with tremendous ap
plause. He was -driven rapidly to tho
stand which had been erected, where a
crowd of COW people had assembled. The
President spoke on "The Wagcworker and
the Tiller of the SoIL" He was fre
quently Interrupted by applause. Dur
ing his speech snow began to fall, but
the President was clad In a heavy over
coat and was well protected. He said he
was glad to be again la the "banana
belt," which created laughter.
Speech on the Tollers.
The full text of the President's speech
follows:
Fellow Citizens: There are many,
many lesser problems which go to
make up la their entirety the huge
and complex problems of our modem
Industrial life. Each of these problems Is.
moreover, connected with many of the
others. Few Indeed are simple or stand
only by themselves. The most Important
nre thostf connected with the relation of
the farmers, the stockgrowers and. soil
tillers, to the community at large, and
those affecting the relations between em
ployer and employed. In a country like
ou?,t. 18 fundamentally true that tho
well-twins of the tiller of the soil and the
wageworker Is the well-being of the state.
If they are well off. then we need concern
ourselves but little as to bow other classes
stand, for they will Inevitably be well off
too; and, on tho other band there can be
no real general prosperity unless based
on the foundation of the prosperity of the
wage worker and the tiller of the solL
But the needs of these two classes are
often not the same. The tiller of the soil
has been of all our citizens the one on the
whole the least affected In his ways of life
and methods of Industry by the giant In
dustrial changes of the last bait century.
There has been change with him. too, of
course. He can also work to best advan
tage It he keeps In close touch with his
fellows; and the success of the National
Department of Agriculture has shown how
much can be done for ram by rational
action of the Government. Nor Is It only
through tho department that the Govern
ment can act. One of the greatest and
most beneficent measures passed by the
last Congress, or Indeed by any Congress
In recent years. Is the Irrigation Act,
which will do for the states of tho Great
Plains and the Rocky Mountain region at'
least as much as ever has been done for
the states of the humid region by river
and harbor Improvements. Few measures
that have been put upon the statute books
of the Nation have done more for the
people than this law will. I firmly be
lieve, directly and indirectly accomplish
for the states In question.
Help Given the Farmer.
The Department of Agriculture devotes
Us whoie energy to working for the wel
fare of farmers and stockgrawers. Ia
every section, of our country it aids them
In their constantly increasing search -for a
better agricultural education. It helps not
only them, but all the Nation. In seeing
that our exports of meat have clean bills
of health and that there Is rigid Inspec
tion of all meats that ent;r into inter
state commerce. Thirty-eight million car
casses were Inspected during the last fiscal
year. Our stockgrowers sell forty-five
million, dollars' worth of livestock annu
ally, and these animals must be kept
healthy or else our people will lose their
trade. Our export of plant products to
foreign countries amounts to over six
hundred million dollars a year, and there
Is no branch of Its work to which the De
partment of Agriculture devotes mora
care. Thus the Department has been suc
cessfully Introducing a macaroni wheat
from the headwaters of the Volga, which
grows successfully In ten Inches of rain
fall, and by this means wheat growing
has been successfully extended westward
into the semi-arid region. Two million
bushels of this wheat were grown last
year; and being suited to dry conditions
It can bb used for forage as well as for
food for man.
The Department of Agriculture has been
helping our fruit men to establish markets
abroad by studying methods of fruit
preservation through refrigeration and
through methods of handling and pack
ing. On the Gulf coasts of Louisiana and
Texas, thanks to the Department of Agri
culture, a rice suitable to the region was
Imported from the Orient and tho rice
crop is now practically equal to our needs
In thU country, whereas a few years ago
It supplied but one-fourth of them. Too
roost Important of our farm products Is
the grass crop: and to show what has been
done with grasses. I need only allude to
the striking change made In the entire
West by the extended use of alfalfa.
Moreover, the Department has taken the
lead In the effort to prevent the deforesta
tion of the country. Where there are for
ests we seek to preserve them; and on the
once treeless plains and the prairies we
are doing our hest to foster the habit of
tree planting among our people. In my
own lifetime I have seen wonderful
changes brought about by this tree plant
ing here in your own state and In the
states Immediately around It.
Co-operatlon by States.
There are a number of very Important
questions, such as that of good roads,
with which the states alone can deal, and
where all that the National Government
can do is to co-operate with them. The
same Is true of the education of the
American farmer. A number of the states
have themselves started to help In this
work and the Department of Agriculture
does an Immense amount which Is in the
proper sense of the word educational,
and educational In the most practical
way.
It Is therefore clearly true that a great
advance has been made In the direction of
finding ways by which the Government
can help the farmer to help himself the
only kind of help which r. self-respecting
man will accept, or, I may add. which will
In the end do him any good. Much has
been done In these ways, and farm life
and farm processes continually change for
the better. The farmer himself still re
tains, because of his surroundings and the
nature of his work, to a pre-eminent de
gree the qualities which we like to think
of as distinctly American In considering
our early history. The roan who tills his
own farm, whether on the prairie or In
the woodland, the man who grows what
we cat and the raw material which Is
worked up into what we wear, still exists
more nearly under the conditions which
obtained when the "embattled farmers" of
'7S rrude this country a Nation than Is
true of any others of our people.
Cnlons of Labor and Capital.
But the waceworkers In our cities. like
the capitalists In our cities, face totally
cnaziseu conciuons. ine development or.
machinery and the extraordinary change
In business conditions bave rendered the
employment or capital and of persons in
large aggregations not merely profitable
but often neccssarr for success, and have
specialized the labor or the wagcworker
at the same time that ttev have brought
great aggregations of wageworkers to-.
Fi-mer. jure ana more in our great in
dustrial centers men have come to realize
that they cannot live as Independently of
one another as In- the old days was the
case everywhere, and as Is now the case In
tbe country districts.
Of course, fundamentally each man wUl
Yet'flnd that the chief tartar in determin
ing his TOceess or failure In life Is the
sum of his on n Individual qualities. He
cannot afford to lose, his individual Initia
tive, his Individual will and power; out
he can best use that power If for certain
. ebiects he urates' with his fellows. Much
can be done by organization, combination,
union among the wageworkers; finally
romethlng can be done by the direct ac
tion of the state. It 1 not possible em
pirically to declare when the Interference
of the state, should be deemed legitimate
and when Illegitimate.
The line of demarcation between un
healthy overlnterfereace and unhealthy
lack of regulation Is not always well de
fined, and shuts with the change In our
Industrial needs. Most certainly we should
never Invoke tho lnterfereace of the state
or Nation nnless It Is absolutely neces
sary: but It is equally tree that when con
fident of Its necessity we should not on
academic grounds refuse it. Wise factory
laws, laws to forbid the employment of
child labor and to safeguard tbe employes
against the effects' of culpable negligence
by the employer are necessary, not merely
In the Interest of the wageworkers. but
In the Interest of the honest and humane
employer, who should not bo penalized for
his honesty and humanity by being ex
posed to unchecked competition with an
unscrupulous rival. It Is far more diffi
cult to deal with the greed that works
through cunning than with the greed that
works through violence. But the effort to
deal with it must Be steadily made.
Hott to Prevent Strikes.
Very much of our effort In reference to
labor matters should be by every device

and expedient to try to secure a con
stantly better understanding between emr
ployer and employe. Everything possible
should be done to Increase tho sympathy
and fellow-feeling between them, and
every chance taken to allow each to look
at all questions, especially at quesUons in
dispute, somewhat through the other's
ryes. If met with a sincere desire to act
fairly by one another, and If there Is. furthermore,-
power by each to appreciate the
other's standpoint, the chance for trouble
is minimized. I suppose every thinking
man rejoices when by mediation or arbi
tration It proves possible to settle trou
bles la time to avert the suffering and
bitterness caused by strikes. Moreover, a
conciliation committee can do best work
when the trouble Is In its beginning, or
at least has not come to a bead, when
tne DreaK. nas actually occurred, damage
has been 'cVfcc; and each side feels sore
and angry: araillt Is difficult to get them
together difficult to make either forget
Its own wrongs and remember the rights
of the other. If possible the effort at
conciliation or mediation or arbitration
should be made in the earlier stages, and
should be marked by the wish on the part
of both sides to try to come to a common

Just been closed by the Anthracite Coal

the country, representing the bench, the

employers and the employed. They acted
as a unit, and tbe report which they
unanimously signed Is a masterpiece of
sound common sense and of sound doc
trine on the very quesUons with which
our people should most deeply concern
themselves. The Immediate effect of this
Commission's appointment and action was
of vast and Incalculable benefit to the
Nation: but the ultimate effect will be
even better. If capitalist, wageworker,

Washington a Model City.
Of course tbe National Government has
but a small field In which It can work In
labor matters. Something It can do, how
ever, and that something ought to be done.
Among other things I should like to see
the District of Columbia, which is com
pletely under the control of the National
Government, receive & set of model labor
laws. Washington la not a city of very
large industries, but still It has some.
Wise labor JeglslaUon for the City of
Washington would be a good thing in it
self, and it wculd be a far better thing,
because a standard would be thereby set
for the country as a whole.
In the field of general legislation relat
ing to these subjects the action of Con
gress Is necessarily very limited. Still
there are certain ways in which we can
act. Thus the Secretary of the Navy has
recommended, with my cordial and hearty
approval tbe enactment of a strong employers--!!
ability law in the navy yards of
tbe Nation. . It should be extended to simi
lar branches of the Government work.
Again, sometimes such laws can be en
acted as an Incident to the Nation's con
trol over interstate commerce. In my last
annual message to Congress I advocated
the passage of a law In reference to car
couplings n strengthen the features of
the one already on the statute books so
as to minimize the exposure to death and
maiming of railway employes. Much op
poslUon had to be overcome. In the end
an admirable law was passed "to promote
the safety of employes and travelers upon
railroads by compelling common carriers
engaged la Interstate commerce to equip
their cars with automatic couplers and
continuous brakes and their locomotives
with driving-wheel brakes." This law re
ceived my signature, a couple of days be
fore Congress adjourned. Jt represents a
real and substantial advance In an ad
mirable kind of legislation.
At the conclusion of his address the
Presidential party was driven to the
Great Northern depotr and at 920 the

with no effect. This remedy has become
famous for Its cures of colds and la grippe

DREYFUS CASE IS UP.
Xew Revelation Raise Btorra In
French Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS'. April tThe Drey.fus affair
was brought up la the. Chamber of Depu
ties by M. Jaures, -Socialist, during a dis
cussion af the validation of the elecUon
of M. Syvetorf. Nationalist Republican.
Jaures asserted that M. Syveton bad at
tacked the Republican group on the
ground that they were the agents of foreigners,-
but the speaker proposed to show
that the real friends of the foreigners
were those who, during four years, "es
tablished their case through a falsified
signature of a foreign emperor." Thli
alluded to the letter of the German em
peror, which Is said to have been Intro
duced Into some of the private papers In
the Dreyfus case.
M. Jaures. continuing, made an extended
review of the affair and severely criti
cised the methods which led up to the
conviction of Dreyfus.
The remarks wrought the Chamber up
to a great pitch of excitement, but the
climax came when, turning to a new
branch of tbe subject; M. Jaures read a
letter dated August M, IRS. written by
General FeUieux to the Minister of War.
asking to be placed on the retired list
owing to the Dreyfus case. In this letter,
as read by M. Jaures. General Pellleux
said:
"Can you any longer have confidence
either in your subordinates or In chiefs
who have made me their dupe and made
me work with forger documents?"
This was an allusion to the forgery of
Colonel Henry, and M. Jaures went on
to assert that the letter had been hidden
from the country and had been com
municated either to the court of cassa
tion or to the court-martial which tried
Dreyfus at Rennega.
M. Brisson, rising from his seat, de
clared that he, at the date of the letter,
was Premier and that the government,
had no knowledge of the letter.
He accused M. Cavalgnac. who was Min
ister of War at the time, of not notifying
the government qf Its existence.
M. Cavalgnac retorted that the substance
of the letter was published at tbe time In
the shape of an Interview, and be accused
M. Brisson of acUng a comedy.
M. Brisson. who was laboring under
great emotion, replied: "You may be
be thankful that the amnesty law (la con
nection with the Dreyfus affair) was
passed, otherwise you would be tried and
convicted."
These utterances brought forth wild
cheering from the members of tbe Left,
who then turned toward M. Cavalgnac and
hooted him, calling him "traitor."
The President of the Chamber tried vain
ly for a long Ume to restore alienee, and.
when be ultimately succeeded. M. Cavalg
nac spoke and denied that he had ever
sought to conceal anything, and said the
letters did not form any part of any
dossier In connection with the Dreyfus
case. General Pellleux, be affirmed, af
terward regretted having written It. This
declaration aroused a fresh storm of
hisses.
M. Jaures, who had remained in the
Speaker's tribune throughout the scene,
asked for a postponement of the debate.
The Chamber voted the postponement and
adjourned.
