2 THE MOSSING "OBEGONIAlf, TUESDAY, APEIL 7, 1903. TWELVE IN ONE DAY President Makes Speeches in South Dakota. HE TRAVERSES THE STATE Tell People of Function of Individ ual In Building CP the State Mar Shorten Visit to Yellowstone Farlc and Go to Deadwood. 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 North Dakota and will enter the Yellow stone Park Wednesday afternoon. Extend Welcome to Montana. HELENA, Mont..

GAINS IN OHIO. (Continued from First race.) the Republicans and fraudulent registra tion, repeating and corruption. They In sisted that the Fusion organization would be continued and perfected. 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 will continue to progress as she has pro gressed during the past three years, but It means that the next Governor will be a Republican: that Mark A. Hanna will be returned to the Senate and that Theo dore Roosevelt will be the next President." BOTH PARTIES CLAIM CHICAGO. Difference of 07,000 Between Rival Estimates of Result. CHICAGO.

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.

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. German Consulate Was Hit. WASHINGTON. April 6. The following cablegram was received today from United States Cdnsul-General Maxwell, dated at Santo Domingo, yesterday: "Government warship fired three shots Into the city last night. One struck the German Consulate." 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 Cough Remedy, famous for Its cures of colds, can be bad lor a trifle I For sale tr ail drucgJ TALKS ON THE TOILERS PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS OX FARMER " AXD 1VAGEWORKER. 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 TOM L. - ssssssssssssbsssssssssssssssssssssssssss sLsLsLsLsLsLsLsssflns T' lifllilHisLsLsflLs RE-ELECTED MAYOR OF CLETEtAXD. 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 tE?it'WPjSi.?2l12ftt 'Sf ! interests of the other as well as of Itself. Good Work of Strike Commission. When we deal with such a subject we are fortunate In having before us an ad mirable object loeson in the work that has Just been closed by the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. This was the Com mission which was appointed last Fail at the time when the coal strike la the an thracite regions threatened our Nation with a disaster second to none which has befallen us since the days of the Civil ..,. . 'in. ,c,ju, i nu lua jg jus, immg the Senate adjourned at the special ses sion, and no Government document of re cent 3 ears marks a more Important piece of work better done, and there Is none which teaches sounder social morality to uu ycupir. ijio wmniiwign cuusu leu ui bs5u o kwu auru nciu lu ua wuuu til the country, representing the bench, the church, the army, the professions, 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, and lawmaker alike will take to heart and act -upon the lessons set forth In the re port they have made. 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 special train left for Yankton. Metnl.PolUhera'Strlke. PHILADELPHIA. April 8.

When colds and grip are prevalent the quickest and-errrest remedies are In great demand. Mr. Joseph D. Williams, ot Mc Duff. Va., says that he was cured of a very deep and lasting attack of la grippe by urine Chamberlain's Cough Remedy after trying several other preparations with no effect. This remedy has become famous for Its cures of colds and la grippe and can be .depended upon with Implicit confidence. It .prevents any tendency of those diseases toward pneumonia.

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."
