THE MORKEh'G- REGOXIA2f, 8ATUJLDA.Y, JLPBEL i4, KEYNOTE Bt FOLK War on Between Epuai Rights and Privilege. WHAT. 'JEFFERSON TAUGHT His; Definition of 'Democracy Kc callec! at Birthday Banquet-and . Applied to Present Uprising: Against Graft Bosses. . . KANSAS CITY. Mo.. April 13. Five hundred Missouri Democrats attended a banquet-at the Midland Hptel In this city tonlghtw given by the Missouri State Democratic Press Association to commemorate the birthday anniver sary of Thomas Jefferson.. Of this number 150 were editors of Missouri newspapers aiid .the remainder were prominent Democrats from various parts of the state. The principal rpeakcra were Governor Joseph W. T'olk. United States Senator William J, Stone and Congressman Charles A Towne, of 'New York; F. W. Stephens, president of the .association and editor of the Herald at Columbia. Mo., acted as toastmaster. Mr. Folk said; Jcfferonian Democracy Defined. The life and teachings of Thomas Jef ferson arc an inspiration to the lpvers of .representative government everywhere. Joffers'jnian Democracy means the rule of 'he people, not of any class, nor of any r lique. nor of any special Interests. When- vcr the people cease to rule anywhere and sangs of bosses govern Instead, then special privileges and corruption, which uprlngs from special privileges, as a nec essary consequence follow. Jefferson an nounced the cardinal doctrine of true Democracv when he declared for ''equal rights to all. special privileges to none." That was one of the llrst declarations against what is known In modern times as graft. Some special, privilege .Is at the bottom of every graft. No one ever beard of an official being corrupted in order to give offual rights to all. Old-Fashloncd Honesty ltcvlvcd. An unprecedented political revival Is going on 'In the United States today on this subject. The next few years will be liftthiguished as the time In which the iHgii of the Fpcclal privilege is brought to" .in end and the doctrine of equal rights 1ixed in National policies and In the con science of mankind. There Js no secret remedy known for oiTUption. It CJtnnot be cured by hiding !- The. developments of the last few cars should inspire optimism, not pes simism, as to the future. The punlshmmt nf rascals is not going to cause the ovcr- tmow of the Republic. Old-fashioned IJtiHs of honesty are being applied to the new-fashioned business. The command. "Thou shah not .steal" has again become binding, ". THlfc" does not mean Socialism, which says to auothcr. ."What is thine Is mine." but it means an equal opportunity to all to have, to hold and to enjoy the fruits of tliopest labor and no special privi leges lo-a. class to prey upon the rest of the people. N r Vole Against, the Grafters. The t!me has conje when theTpcople will no longer respond to mre party names. Parties must stand for something and mean something1: must be a positive force, not a mer,o negative quantity. Whatever may be said of the accomplishment of any party in days gone-by.- the question now is. not what the Democratic party did 50 years ago. or what the Republican party did 40 years ago. but what they stand for now and what they propose to fc now. The way to determine this Js ifcit merely -by reading the platforms out by finding out what the candidates repre sent, whether they are honest and coura geous, and whet tier they are supported or fought by special privilege and the law loss element. It Is a very good rule to fol low, to ascertain on which side the ene mies of the people and of representative government are fighting and then get on the other side and oppose them. ' Stone Assails Koosevclt. In closing- his address. Mr. Stone said: Enough Iws.bcen said in all reason to show that Theodore Roosevelt's Admin istration of his great oftlce is not such as should Inspire Democratic adutatlon. Al though obtrusive, audacious and spectac ular, his career, as I view It. has been signalized by weakness, not strength: bv hcIllatlou. not steadfastness: by vain glory, not solid worth. For whatever he may do that Is right trlve credit. I am neither for him nor against lilm: I simple take him for what he is. J will support him when he Is right, but I shall not court him with blandishments, nor swell his vanity by blowing upon him the Incense or flattery. I am a Democrat, and under he banner or that grand old partv I am content to May. And so let us ali stand here in Missouri. 11 ATT SEEKS NO RE-ELECTION JJocs Not Expect to Return at Ex piration of Term. NEW VORK. April IS.

BALTIMORE, April 13.-The Interstate Commerce Commission met in this city today to Inquire Into the alleged commun ity of .interests between the Interstate carriers and the coal and oil producers of the country. Among the witnesses was Superintendent of Transportation Arthur C. Hale of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Mr. Hale admitted that coal Is taken out of the mines by a company controlled by the Baltimore & Ohio, transported by a company controlled by the Baltimore & Ohio and distributed to retailers by a company in which the Baltimore & Ohio Is interested, either by direct ownership or by stock ownership or other control. Mr. Hale said he owned SO shares of the Consolidated Coal Company's stock--and 100 shares in the Fairmount Coal Com-" pany. all of which he sol in the open market.

For the first time In many years. Good Friday was not observed as a holiday in New York today. All the city departments were in opera tion, and the Stock Exchange also was open for business as usual. In both of these Instances money was responsible for the change in the city's tradition. The city's corporation counsel having de cided that department beads had no power to allow per-dicm men pay for time not actually occupied In the city service, the laborers requested that the usual holiday be omitted. Their request was granted. The governing board of the Stock Ex change decided not to suspend operations for tin. day because of the unsettled con dition of the money market.

President Roosevelt, who was yesterday chosen first vice-president, was unani mously elected honorary president, and Jacob Rlls, of New York, honorary vice-president e Judge Smith on Free Trade With Philippines.' FUTURE GOVERNOR TO REST California Lawyer Who' Went to the Islands as Colonel Became Gen eral and Judge, and Will Soon Be Governor. SAN FRANCISCO. April ' li-Judse James F. Smith, a member of the Philip pine Commission and prosiectlve Governor-General of the Islands, arrived to day on the steamer Mongolia. The Governor-to-be Is in excellent health, lie Is here on a vacation, and will remain in America until August 1. Mrs. Smith ac companied him. He telegraphed Presi dent Roosevelt today of hi a arrival. Judge Smith reported the Islands to be In a peaceful condition, with the excep tion of minor local disturbances, due to the activities of two fugitive Ladrone chiefs, who are stirring up discontent. Unlcss these men are captured, he said, the islands will not have perfect quiet. Favors Free Trade in Tobacco. Tho Judge talked interestingly on the tariff Question. He said: "I cannot see the reason. If the islands are part of the United States, why Fili pino tobacco should not be admitted here free of duty. The removal of the tax on tobacco would be an excellent move for both the mother country and the Islands. This would give tho Philippines the Con necticut leaf for wrappers Instead of forc ing the Filipino clgarmakcrs to buy Su matra leaf from the Germans. The peo ple of the United States need not fear competition that would arise from the repeal of the tobacco tax. .The sections where the high-grade weed can be culti vated In the Islands are very few. Wher ever the salt sea air or fogs penetrate the fields, the tobacco leaf becomes spot ted and of Inferior quality. In the Islands the valleys that are absolutely heltered from these, climatic Influences arc very few, hence the production of superior grades of the plant Is confined to a small amount, The reports of the probablo purchase ot tho Islands by Japan were belittled by Judge Smith. He said: Can't Sell Islands to Japan. "It Ih my personal opinion that there Is a question whether Congress would have, authority to so dispose of the is lnads without the sanction of the people at large. These reports have disturbed the Filipinos to some extent, and they became disgruntled over the rumored prospect of becoming subjects of the J:T anese Emperor. The attitude of the American Govern ment toward the people of Philippines is to create tho Impression that, when they are ready for self-government they will be given their independence, but America must be first assured that they are ready to maintain their autonomy. In local and municipal governmental affairs they arc now perfectly Independent, electing their own Judges. Justices and other officials of their own free will, under Instructive "I do not believe tliat there is one In telligent Filipino W the Islands who is fully conversant with the sltuatlon- throughout the islands who would now admit that the people are now capable of maintaining an Independent govern mcnt Cause of Fighting In Samnr. "Tho recent troubles in Samar wero really due to a feud between the tribes of the hills and those of the valleys and sea coasts. The lowland people are much the sharper traders, and are always reaching out for the mountain crops. In the trade, deals the valley and sea coast people always get the upper hand, and enmities arose which led the mountain eers to make reprisals."

Of the countless attractions India, offers none are greater than her rich stores of myth and tradition. Oriental scholars have unfolded for us that Hindu religion in a dim and shadowy past contented It self with venerating some of Nature's more impressive phenomena. Space, the starry firmament and the light of day under the poetic names of Ardltl. Varuna and Mitra provided the sacred triad of this archaic worship: but with the march of centuries there came an added roll of deities, of which Brahma himself was chief. According to same writers, his two brothers, vlsbnu and Shiva, were equally powerful, the former as preserver of Brahma's creations, the latter as de stroyer. Vishnu -Is famous for his count less metamorphoses, and appears In the sacred books under no fewer than 1W) dif ferent names. He remains the most popu lar deity among the Hindus, who believe his final metamorphosis that of a horse- Is yet to come. While awaiting this last change he Is thought to be resting 1n a sea of milk, with a serpent for his olllow. The .River Ganges Is supposed to Issue irom nis rigni root. The god 9hlva also figures In Hindu mythology under K different names, and Is invariably represented In some repelhint lorm. ioois -snow him at one time with five faces, at another with three -ycs. while a third will represent him with a necklace of skulls, thick, matted hair and a horn projecting from one of his temples. The great rock-cut temple of ih Islana or Elephants Is sacred to this- god. .rouna me raid god Indra have irath- ered countless traditions, among-which are those of his constant conflicts with ins thunderbolt. Vnjra; Vaya. the wind god: Shushna. the narchcr. and Ahl. tne connner. The aim of this last named god Is to confine and dry up the rivers and seas. Much homage Is paid to Indra br the other gods, ac cording to the Rlg-Vedns. h being head' of the heaven of the ends. H appears to have drunk freely of Soma, the nectar of the Hindu deities. Any Ideal light that the sacred writings would wish him to be viewed In must fall when one reads of the hymns put In his mouth by the mystic scribes. It is a natural outcome of India's climate that Indra should enter largely Into her scheme of legend. Just as Anollo and Baldur. the Nore sun, provide so much mythical charm In cooler re gions, so does Indra in the land of parching plains and scorching rays. A Hindu bride Is not greeted with pretty wishes that the sun should, light her path: the-shlmmcrlng raindrop, fiidra'x precious gift. .Is the blessing: Invoiced on the head of the Indjan chlld-wlfe. Among the arts that Indra Is sup posed to delight In arc those of music and dancing. The sacred books relate how hosts of beautlfnl damsels, called Asparasen. fill his heavenly courts. Tradlfjon gives them a dwelllng-placo on earth as well as In heaven, their of fice being to test the virtue of hermits in their solitude. It was hard on these lovely beings that, should they suc ceed in their arts, they should Imme diately be turned to pillars of stone. It Is part of the Brahmin creed that Sarasvatl. Brahma's wife, gave the vina to mankind, the god Nnreda showing them how It wan played and teaching them the sacred hymns that railed down the thrice-blessed rain and veiled the biasing skies wllh cloud. To the god Krishna music has a special consecration, his traditional compan ions on earth being the. Goplsshep herdesses. who drew gazelles after them when they rang to the rlnas. AH sorts of pretty traditions- gather round this cod In connection with music. Its DR. W. NORTON DAVIS 8 CO. Established 183?
