FARGO, N. T.. April 7-NotwithsUnl-Ing
yesterday's severe blizzard the weath
er today was clear and bracing, an J the
programme for the reception and address
of President Roosevelt was carried out
according to plans. The special Strain ar
rived here during the early" morning, and
at 8:30 the local reception committee
-waited on the Presides Vand alter .a brie!
end informal reception at the train, es
corted him in carriages through the busi
ness portion of the .city.' On"e of the Tea
turea was the welcome accorded by the
children of the city, several thousand of
whom were assembled together where the
President was able to greet them.
After the drive the President was es
corted to a stand In front of the Waldorf
Hotel, where be addressed a large and
enthusiastic crowd on the Philippines.
ITy Feilow-Citlxens: The Northwest,
whose eons In the Civil War add
ed such brilliant pages to the honor
roll of the Republic, likewise bore
a full share In the struggle of which the
war with Spain was the beginning: a
struggle slight Indeed when compared
with the gigantic death wrestle which for
four years stamped to and fro across the
Southern States In the Civil War; but a
struggle fraught with consequences to the
Nation, and Indeed to the world, out of
all proportion to the smallncs of the
effort upon our part.
President M cltlnley's Promise.
Three and a half years ago President
McKlnley spoke In the adjoining State of
Uluntsota on the occasion of the return
of the Thirteenth Minnesota Volunteers
from the Philippine Islands, where they
had served with your own gallant sons of
the North Dakota regiment After heart
ily thanking the returned soldiers for
their valor and patriotism, and their con
temptuous refusal to be daunted or misled
by the outcry raised at home, by the men
of little faith who wished us to abandon
the islands, he spoke of the Islands them
eelves as follows:
"That Congress will provide for them
a government which will bring them
blessings, which will promote their ma
terial interests as well as Advance their
people In the path of civilization and In
telligence. I confidently Dclleve. They
will not be governed as vassals or serfs
or slaves. They will be given a govern
ment of liberty, regulated by law hon
estly administered, without oppressing ex
actions, taxation without tyranny, Justice
without bribe, education without distinc
tion of social condition, freedom of re
ligious worship, and protection in 'life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' "
What be said then lay in the realm of
promise. Now It lies In the realm of posi
tive performance.
It Is a good thing to look back upon
what has been said and compare It with
the record of what has actually been
done. If promises are violated. If -plighted
word Is not kept, then those who have
failed in their duty should be held up
to reprobation. If. on the other hand,
the promises have been substantially made
good; if the achievement has kept pace
and more than kept pace with the pro
phesy, then they who made the one and
are responsible for the other are entitled
of just right to claim the credit which
attaches to those who serve the .Nation
well. This credit I claim for the men
who have managed eo admirably the mili
tary and the civil affairs of the Philip
pine Islands, and for those other men
who have so heartily backed them in
Congress, and without whose aid and
support not one thing could have been
accomplished.
Defense of the Army.
When President McKlnley spoke, the
first duty was the restoration of order:
and to this end the use of the Army of
the United States an Army composed of
regulars and volunteers alike was neces
sary. To put down the insurrection and
restore peace to the Islands was a duty
not only to ourselves but to the islanders
also. We could not have abandoned the
conflict nlthout shirking this duty, with
out proving ourselves recreants to the
memory of our forefathers. Moreover, It
we had abandoned It we would have in
flicted upon the Filipinos the most cruel
wrong and would have doomed them to
n bloody Jumble of anarchy and tyranny.
It seems strange, looking back, that any
of our people should have failed to recog
nize a duty so obvious; but there was
such failure, and the Government at
home, the civil authorities in the Philip
pines and, above all. our gallant Army
had to do their work amid a storm of
detraction. The Army in especial was at
tacked in a way which finally did good,
for in the end it aroused the hearty
resentment of the great body of the Amer
ican people, not against the Army, but
against the Army's traducers. The cir
cumstances of the war made it one of
peculiar difficulty, and our soldiers were
exposed to peculiar wrongs from their
foes. They fought In dense tropical Jun
gles against enemies who were very
treacherous and very cruel, not only
toward our own men. but toward the
great numbers of friendly natives, the
moat peaceable and most civilized among
whom eagerly welcomed our rule.
Under such circumstances, among a hun
dred thousand hot-blooded and powerful
young men. serving In small detachments
on the other side of the globe. It was
impossible that occasional Instances of
wrongdoing should not occur. The fact
that they occurred in retaliation for well
nlgh intolerable provocation cannot for
one moment be admitted in the wav of
excuse or Justification. All good Amerl-J
cans regret ana oepiore tnem, ana the
War Department has taken every step In
its power to punish the offenders and to
prevent or minimize the chance of repeti
tion of the offense. But these offenses
were the exception and not the rule. As
a whole our troops showed not only signal
courage and efficiency, but great human
ity and the most sincere desire to pro
mote the welfare and liberties of the
islanders. In a series of exceedingly har
assing and difficult campaigns they com
pletely overthrew the enemy, reducing
tbem finally to a condition of mere brig
andage, and wherever they conquered,
they conquered only to make way for
the rule of the civil government, for the
introduction of law. and of liberty under
the law. When, by last July, the lset
vestige of organized insurrection had dis
appeared, peace and amnesty were pro.
claimed.
Free Civil Government.
As rapidly a the military rule was ex
tended over the islands by the defeat of
the Insurgents. Just so rapidly was It re
placed by the civil government. At the
present time the - civil government is
supreme and the Army in the Philippines
has been reduced until it is sufficient
merely to provide against the recurrence
of trouble.
In Governor Taft and his associates we
sent to the Filipinos as upright, as con
scientious and as able a group of admin
istrators as ever any country has been
blessed with having. With them and un
der them we have associated the best
men among the Filipinos, so that the
great majority of the officials, including
many of the highest rank, are themselves
natives of the islands. The administration
is lncorruptlbly honest: Justice Is as Jeal
ously safeguarded as here at home. The
government is conducted purely in the
interests of the people of the Islands;
they are protected in their religious and
civil rights; they have been given an ex
cellent and well-admlnloterea school sys-
to "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-'
fuucBs buck as were never Dcrore Known
n all the history of the islands.
Good Lam by Coarreu.
The Congress which has just adjourned
has passed legislation of high Importance
and great wisdom in the interests of the
Filipino people. First and foremost, they
conferred upon them by law the present
admirable civil government: in addition
they gave them an excellent currency;
they passed a measure allowing the or
ganization of a native constabulary: and
they provided, in the Interests of the
Islands, for a reduction of IS per cent
in the tariff on Filipino articles brought
to this country. I asked that a still
further reduction should be made. It was
not granted by the last Congress, but I
think that in some shape it will be grant-
.ed by the next. And even without it. the
record of legislation In thelnterests of the
Filipinos is one with which we have &
right to feel great satisfaction.
Moreover. Congress appropriated 13.000,
000. following the precedent it set when
he people of Porto Rico were afflicted
by sudden 'disaster; this money to be
laed by the Philippine Government in
order to meet the distress occasioned pri
marily by the terrible cattle disease which
almost annihilated the carabao or water
buffalo, the chief and most Important do
mestic animal In the Islands. Coming as
this disaster did upon the heels of the
havoc wrought by the insurrectionary
war. great suffering has been caused; and
this misery, for which this Government
is In no way responsible, will doubtless
S.t.nn! Increase the difficulties of the
Philippine Government for the next year
or so. In consequence there win doubtless
nere and there occur sporadic increases
or the armed brigandage to which the
islands have been habituated from time
immemorial, and here and there for their
own purposes the bandits may choose to
style themselves patriots or Insurrection
ists: but these local difficulties will be of
little consequence, save as they give oc
casion to a few men here at borne again
to try to mislead our people. Not only
has. the military problem In the Philip
pines been worked out quicker and better
than we had dared to expect, but the
grogreas socially and in civil government
as likewise exceeded pur fondest hopes.
Taft nn Ideal Governor.
The best thing that can be done in
handling such a problem as that in the
Philippines, so peculiar, so delicate, so
difficult and so remote. Is to put the best
man possible In charge' and then give htm
the heartiest possible support and the
freest possible hand. This is what has
been done with Governor Taft. There' Is
not In this Nation a hlcner or finer type
of public servant than Governor Taft. He
has rendered literally inestimable service,
not only to the people of the Philippine
Islands, but also to the people of the
United States, by what he has done in
those Islands.
He has been able to do it because from
the beginning he has been given absolute
support by the War Department under
Secretary Root. - With the ceseatlon of
organized resistance the1 civil government
assumed its proper position of headship.
The Army In the. Philippines is now one
of the instruments through which Gov
ernor Taft does his admirable work. The
rtvil government, of which Governor
Taft is head, is supreme, and it will do
well In the future as It has in the past
because it will be backed up In the future
as it has been In the past
Remember always that In the Philip
pines the American Government has tried
and is trying to carry out exactly what
the greatest genius and most revered
fatrlot ever known in the Philippine
stands Jose Rlzal steadfastly advocat
ed. This man, shortly before his death,
in & message to his countrymen, under
date of December 16. 1636. condemned un
sparingly the inrufrectlon of Agulnaldo.
terminated Just before our Navy appeared
upon the scene, and pointed out the path
his people should follow to liberty and
enlightenment Speaking of the Insurrec
tion and of the pretense that Filipino
Independence of a wholesome character
could thereby be obtained, he wrote:.
nizal Opposed Agnlnnldo.
"When, in spite of my advice, a move
ment was begun. I offered of my own
accord, not only my services, but my
life and even my good name to be used In
any way they might believe effective in
stifling the rebellion. I thought of the
disaster which would follow the success
of the revolution, and I deemed myself
fortunate if by any sacrifice I could block
the progress of such a useless calamity.
"My countrymen. 1 have given proof
that I was one who sought liberty for.
our country and I still seek it. But as a
first step I insisted upon the development
of the people in order that, by means of
education and of labor, they might ac-
?ulre the proper individual character and
orce which would make tnem worthy of
it. In my writings I have commended to
you study and civic virtue, without which
our redemption does not exist . . .
I cannot do less than condemn, and I
do condemn, this absurd and savage in
surrection planned behind my back, which
dishonors us before the Filipinos and dis
credits us with those who otherwise
would argue in our behalf. I abominate
Its cruelties and disavow any kind of
connection with it, regretting with all the
sorrow of my soul that these reckless
men have allowed themselves to be de
ceived. Let them return, then, to their
homes, and may God pardon those who
have acted in bad faith."
This message embodied precisely and
exactly the avowed policy upon which the
American Government has acted in the
Philippines. What the patriot Rlzal said
with euch force In speaking of the insur
rection before we came to the islands ap
plies with tenfold greater force to those
who foolishly or wickedly opposed the
mild and beneficent government we, were
Instituting in the Islands. The Judgment
of the martyred public servant. Rlzal.
whose birthday the Philippine people cele
brate, and whom they worship as their
hero and ideal, sets forth the duty of
American sovereignty: a duty from which
the American people will never flinch.
While we have been doing these great
and beneficent works in the islands, we
have yet been stuadlly reducing the cost
at which they are done. The last Congress
repealed the law for the war taxes, and
the War Department has reduced the
Army from the maximum number of
100.000 allowed under the law to very
nearly the minimum of 00,000.
Reorganization of Army.
Moreover, the last Congress enacted
some admirable legislation ' affecting the
Army, passing first of all the mllltla bill
and then the bill to create a general staff.
The mllltla bill represents the realization
of a reform which had been championed
ineffectively by Washington, and had
been fruitlessly agitated ever since. At
hut we have taken from the statute books
the obsolete mllltla law of the Revolu
tionary days and have provided for ef
ficient aid to the National Guard of the
states. I believe that no other great
country has such One natural material
for volunteer soldiers as we have, and it
is the obvious duty of the Nation and of
the states to make such provision as will
enable this volunteer soldiery to be or
ganized with all possible rapidity and ef
ficiency In time of war: and. furthermore,
to help in every way the National Guard
in time of peace. The mllltla law en
acted by the Congress marks the first
long step ever taken in this direction by
the National Government. The general
staff law is of immense Importance and
benefit to the regular Army. Individually
I would not admit that the American
regular, either officer or enlisted man. is
inferior to any other regular soldier in
the world. In fact. If it were worth while
to boast. I should be tempted to say that
he was the best. But there must be
proper training, proper organization and
administration, in order to get the best
fie nice out of even the best troops. This
is particularly the case with such a small
Army as ours, scattered over so -vast a
country. We do not need a large regular
Army, but we do need to have our small
regular Army the very, best that can
possibly bo produced, tinder the worn
out and ineffective organization which has
hitherto existed, a. sudden strain is abso
lutely certain to produce the dislocation
and -confusion we saw at the outbreak
of the war with Spain; and when such
dislocation and confusion occurs it is easy
and natural, but entirely Improper; to
blame the men who happen to be in
office, instead of the system, which is
really responsible.
Under the law Just enacted by Congress
this system will be changed Immensely'
for the better, and every patriotic Amer
ican ought to rejoice, for when we come
to the Army and the Navy we deal with
the honor and Interests of all our people;
and when such Is the case party lines are
as nothing, and we all stand shoulder
to shoulder as Americans, moved only by
pride in and love for our common country.

making H90 revolutions a minute. Michael
Devanney, an oiler employed in a Brook
lyn iron works, was whirled around the
circle for perhaps two minutes yesterday.
I am a firm believer in that wonderful
remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It's
a great medicine when a man is not
feeling well; after exposure or loss of
sleep and irregular meals. 'It is also a
great medicine to tone up and regulate
a man. There is such a pleasant taste
to it, and it seems to go "right to the
spot. I use it and recommend it. There
is more Swamp-Root used by Kansas
Cfty firemen than 'any other medicine
twice over.
Yours truly.

but not seriously hurt Devanney was at
.work beside a big flywheel when his coat
was caught In the belting. He yelled once
or twice as he felt himself 'drawn to what
he thought was death and then became
unconscious.
Quickly the belting was thrown off the
wheel, and Devanney's body fell to the
floor limp and apparently lifeless. Doc
tors were summoned and the supposed
dead man was thoroughly examined for
mortal injuries.
While the doctors and shopmates were
gathered about the limp form the sup
posed corpse sat bolt upright rubbed his
head and looked about In a confused man
ner. Devanney recovered sufficiently In
a tew minute to become curious as to
what had happened, and when he was in
formed, he whistled and remarked that It
was a closer call than' he wanted a gain. -
BEET.SU GAR TRUST MEETS
Oxnard Says Yenr Began Badly, but
Abolition ot Bounties Did Good.
NEW YORK. -April i At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Amer
ican Beet Sugar Company in Jersey City
today the old board ot directors was re
elected. President H. F. Oxnard said
the company had paseed through a crucial
year. Artificial stimulation of the In
dustry In Europe by the payment ot ex
port bounties had resulted in an accumu
lation of an abnormal surplus and a fall
In price below the cost of production. Raw
sugar had sold in Hamburg, which makes
the prices of the world, at S shillings 1H1
pence, a price 53 per cent below tho record
price. Prices on the Missouri River had
reached HIS.
President Oxnard said the company had
Indicated a capacity to earn money under
conditions the like ot which had never
prevailed and were unlikely to occur
again. The great sugar-producing coun
tries of Europe had united to abolish ex
port bounties and the effect had been to
advance the price of eugar. Raw sugar
was now selling at Hamburg at 6s 2d, an
advance of 33 per cent The price In Cal
ifornia, was S190, and on the Missouri
River H.7J.
The quantity of sugar produced by the
company was 115,570,300 pounds, which
was beyond the expectation of the com
pany. Jfo Strike for Two Years.

J.C.irnCo.,
I cheerfully give my endorsement to
Dr.' Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which I sin
cerely believe, from my own experi
ence stands at the head of all known
curatives for kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
My own cure and also my personal
observation during years of service In
the Toledo Fire Department, have con
vinced me that Swamp-Root is a medi
cine ot wondertui merit. -1 have seen
many who had. been pronounced incur
able, speedily restored to health by
Swamp-Root.
Yours respectfully.
