FAITH IN POPULAR RULE Governor Admits Applause Cheers Man Lonely In Office Folk Says Hughes Would Make Best Kepublican President. NEW TORK, Kcb. 2i. Governed Hughes Jiad a heart-to-lieart talk with 300 mem bers of the City Club, whoso guest he. was at dinner tonight. Breaking through his usual reserve, the Governor touched on liia relation to the state, and his words, delivered with impressive solemnity, evoked cordial applause and responses on the part of the others that amounted to a personal tribute. Along with Governor Folk of Missouri, Mr. Hughes had accept ed an Invitation to take part in a discus iiion before the club on the subject "The City and State." When he arrived at the bannuet hall he received an ovation that apparently touched him deeply. Respond ing to the reception, he said: Man in Ofrice l'ecls Lonely. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this token of your Kood will. A man in office fcols lonely at times. He wonders whether aftir all what he Is try inn to do 8 appreciated. It is the hardest thins In the world to be a public official and not become a cynic, and I submit that enthusiasm, which must furnish the motive power for his endeavor Is found in the un solicited and general approval of those of his fellow-cltlzens who have nothing to ask and who desire nothing but the welfare of the people of the state. Many Working for People. I have been very much encouraged during my work In finding In every part of the state such organizations as this. Tou have no idea, even here where so many of you have been, so long interested in public ques tions, of the numbers of men throughout this state who unselfishly arc devoting themselves to the Improvement of the Gov ernment and the betterment of social con ditions. Tt is a time when any one who is acquainted with the facts must feel like taking heart and realizing that, while many are prostituting their opportunities to selflsh advantages, there are hosts of good men and true who are endeavoring so far as in them lies to secure better conditions and a realization on the part of the representa tives of the people of their true duties to their oaths of office. Believes In Parties. I am a party man and I am a party Governor and I have no sympathy with the Idea that the parties depend for their suc cess upon the blind following of any leader ship. T believe In party organization, be cause it 1s .an effective means of standing for certain commonly accepted principles. I believe in party merely because it is the only means through which an organization can express Itself effectively, but 1 believe In making the parly appeal to the people upon the basis of principles and putting up candidates who will stand the test of the closest scrutiny and I believe It to be best for the people, if every elector Is required to give the consideration that is necessary to express his individual choice with regard to every candidate for office, and I also be lieve within the party In the utmost free dom. Nothing can be more mistaken than to try to protect a party against Itself. That Is the mistake In trying to protect the peo ple against themselves. That results log ically In despotism somewhere, and we might as well give up our forms of gov ernment. Good Government All Way Down. Now, I believe most thoroughly in this: , That In a country like ours, where every- thing depends upon the wisdom, the dis crimination, the honesty of the electo 'ate, you cannot have good government at the top unless generally you have good government at the bottom. You cannot expect that by some means you will have superiority In the government that is remote, while in the government that is close to your own home your Interests are neglected; and the first consideration of American citizens should be to see that the government in his own district Is right, that the government in his own city Is right, not neglecting that the Government ot his nation should be what he nnd his fellowr citizens are entitled to have it. Mr. Hughes during the evening was also for a short time a guest at the din ner given by the Hudson tunnel officials In celebration of the opening of tho tun nel today and at the banquet of the Benevolent Association of the police de partment of New York City. At each place he spoke briefly. l'olk Booms Hughes. Mr. Folk praised Mr. Hughes' stand on the question of racetrack gambling, and added: I m not sure Just what kind of a meet ing thi 4. r do not know whether it Is simply a gathering of citizens or whether it is a Republican caucus for the purpose of advancing the candidacy of some one for I he Presidency. If it is to be the latter, why, I might be somewhat out of place, being a Xemocrat. and as such, of course, hope for Mr. Bryan for President. I could eay this, if in the wisdom of this country they should seee fit to elect another Repub lican President, I don't think a more hon orable man could be found anywhere than Governor Hughes of New York State. FOLK OS "ERA OP CONSCIENCE" Discusses) Moral Awakening in Re gard to Public Affairs. XEW TORK. Feb. 25. Attacking racetrack gambling- as a prolific breeder of crime and supporting the efforts be ing made to end this form of gambling in this state, Governor Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, aroused the Civic Forum at Carnegie Hall tonight. Mr. Folk's subject was "The Era of Conscience." He declared that within a short time the legalized vice of racetrack gam bling would be a thing of the past from ono end of the country to the other. In the era of conscience now beginning, he said, stock and grain gambling must go. Mr. Folk began by calling .attention to the new epoch in our National life, which opened six years ago, saying: ..The ethical awakening shows signs of becoming universal and lasting, instead of local and transitory. From the yesterday of six years ago today Is a revolution In the consciences of men. He eaid that until a few years ago the public was considered "a stupid, isnorant creature, void of understand ing and incapable of protecting itself"; 'that tho public has a conscience that can tell right from wrong is a thought of comparatively recent origin"; brib ery "was generally regarded with in difference or despair." Ho painted a vivid picture of tho unconcealed cor ruption In Legislatures and publics, dis honesty of insurance officials, giving and taking of rebates and passes on railroads. War on Race Gambling. Then he gave a word-picture of tho "constant stream of young men passing through the criminal courts to the pen itentiaries, made embezzlers and thieves by the alluring gambling of the race track." He told of the fight lie made to have racetrack betting declared a crime in Missouri, and how he finally won. He answered the plea that this would destroy the breeding of fine horses by saying: There have been more fine horses raised In our State without gambling than when gambling on horse-racing was licensed. However that may be, it is more important to breed men than horses; and all the blooded horses in the world are not worth the ruined life of one young man. He predicted that tho public conscience would end this form of gambling in New York and all other states, as the open pumbling-house has disappeared. He then continued: Stock Gamblers Must Go. Slock and grain gambling are .under the ban of this era of conscience. The tran sactions that amount to gambling on the rise or fall of the market should be pro hibited, and severely punished wherever they may take place, and with them will go one of the greatest evils of our country. The bucket shop is already condemned, and if the stock exchanges do not clean them selves of t-ambling they will be cleaned out by the people, for conscience has written that the gambhers must go. The gambling mania is the outgrowth of inordinate desire for wealfh. and with its abolition business, and the prosperity that comes from busi ness, will be upon a more moral, and, there fore, a firmer foundation. It has not been long since it was a com mon idea that directors of corporations were privileged to do lawless things that as individuals they would not think of doing. The people are beginning to know that contempt for law Is no less reprehensible when plotted over a directors' table than when shouted under a red flag at an anar- t ' ' , it l v - a i I "- i t i j Rear-Admiral Char! en M. Thomas. Who Is in Command of the Battle ship Fleet During the Illness of Admiral van. chlsta' meetinK, and they frequently stand related as cause and effect. Corporations have been too often used as masks to con ceal the crimes of individuals. The era of conscience demands the same standard of morality for corporations as is required of the individuals thai compose them. The elimination of watered stocks and inflated values Is not an unreasonable demand of the public conscience. Because they are uijust to the public and compel the public to pay dividends on fictitious values, the public protests asulnst them, and this same con science, with its sense of justice, would as readily assert itself to protest against un fairness toward the individual aggregated under the form and fiction of a corporation as it would to protest against injustice toward the individual citizen. It is not cor porations the people complain of, but the abuses of power on the part of corpora tions. v Conscience in Politics. He declared for the regulation of the changes of public utility corporations, saying this public right was now general ly conceded. lie continued in substance: Under our system of government every citizen should be a politician in tho sense that he expresses an opinion, in a proper way on all public questions, out no man in this country should be a politician in the sense that he depends on politics for a liv ing. Corrupt officials represent the people just as honest officials do. The corrupt of ficial represents the activity of the lawless, and the aggressiveness of special interests. The saloons are now learning that they must do business according to law, or they will not be allowed to do business at all. In places where they had no option but to obey the law they are professing a wholesome respect for the law. This public conscience is teaching a re spect for law on the part of all. If the law is not enforced then the liberty of a majority of the people, to make law is taken away. The corporation magnate should realize that he must give that respect to the law regulating the conduct of his corporation that he asks others to give to the law pro tecting ths property of his corporation. The anarchy of capital breeding contempt for law should no more be tolerated than the anarchy of labor breeding riot and disorder. That lawlessness begets anarchy whether at the top of society or at the bottom of so ciety, is becoming an accepted fact. That men, no matter how great their wealth, must be obedient to law, as well as the poorest of men, and that the greatest cor poration in the land must be subject to the' statutes, as well as the smallest business, is a demand of the new era. Tariff a Moral Issue. Conscience revolts against privilege, whether It be the privilege of lawlessness or "the special privilege conferred by law. It matters not whether that privilege be in the form of a tariff, so arranged as to foster monopoly, or a trust to control the prices of the necessities of life, or rebates to favored shippers, or the running of saloons or gambling "houses contrary to law. These things are prohibited by the moral law the law of conscience. Behind every po litical question there is a moral question. Whenever a class of wrongdoers is attacked they always try to place themselves be btnd a community of some business Interest. The prosperity that rests on wrong-doing is hot tho right kind of prosperity, if the country had to choose between great pros perity coupled with crookedness, and less prosperity and more honesty, it would un doubtedly take the latter. lyt us assail, not men. but the evil men do; not business, but the evildoers in busi ness. The only way to stop evil, either public or private, la to turn on the light, and let the people know who the rascals are. Publicity is the best remedy for civic wrongs. The republics that have tottered off the stage of the world into oblivion, did not die for lack of material wealth, but for want of moral health; they ceased , to exist, not for lack of money, but for lack of morals. In this era of conscience so Important to the American people let us be conservative In charging wrongdoing, lest Injustice be done in charging where it does not exist. But once sure of the evil, let us be radical in its extermination. The exposures of wrong-doing in business and official life do not show a mora de generation but a moral regeneration. Even now wealth, regardless of its source, is not worshipped with the same devotion it used to be. The question now is, not how much one has, but how honestly did he acquire what he has. The President of the United States sent a remarkable message to the Congress a few weeks ago, devoted to moral ideas. Such a message from a President six years ago would have been received with derision. In this era of conscience It received applause, regardless of political faith, and the great leader of the opposition party gave It his hearty and sincere approval. We are now learning that a rascal Is a rascal still, no matter with what -party he affiliates, and a violator of law is a criminal, no matter what business he may be engaged in.

BUSY DAY IN LIMA American Naval Officers Lav ishly Entertained. BASEBALL FOR. JACKIES Jolly Tars Enjoying Their Holidays Ashore South Americans Extend Royal Welcome to Their Guests From the Vnitcd Slates. LIMA, Peru, Feb. 25. The entertain ments in honor of the American naval officers continue unabated, and Lima so ciety is enjoying a series of brilliant functions, such as seldom has been wit nessed in the capital. This afternoon there was a reception at the American Legation and a baseball match in the bull ring between nines from the war ships, and this evening the National Club will give a ball: The gala performance at the Politeana Theater last night brought out a crowded house. Lima society was well represented, while among those present were 33 American officers, includ ing three Admirals, Minister Combs, Lieutenant Cordier, the American mili tary attache and several members of the Cabinet. The Presidential box was giv en over to the visitors. President Pardo himself was not present, as he was cele brating his birthday at his home. In the- final scene of the opera", the American and Peruvian flags were dis played on the stage. This brought out prolonged applause. In which' the la dies present were conspicuous. Admiral Thomas stood up and bowed his acknowl edgments to the audience. At the com mencement of the performance the or chestra played "Hall, Columbia," and the Peruvian National Anthem. The. audi ence stood. The conduct of the Ameri can sailors on shore continyes to be ex cellent, and has won the praise of the Peruvian press. ASSEMBLE 50 AVAR VESSELS Great Fleet Will Anchor in San Francisco Harbor. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25. From present indications it is estimated that tlvre will be about 50 United States war ships of the various classes assembled in San Francisco Bay with the arrival of Rear-Admiral Evans' fleet early in May. In the battleship class, the fleet of Ad miral Evans probably will be Joined by the famous Oregon, now undergoing re pairs in the Bremerton Navy-yard, and the Wisconsin, at present at Mare Island, will go Into commission on April 1. This will make 18 battleships. Besides there will be four protected cruisers, eight ar mored cruisers, 10 topedo-boats and de stroyers and a number of vessels of the auxiliary class, supply, repair and hospi tal ships and colliers. The armored cruisers Washington and Tennessee, of Admiral Sebree's "path finder" squadron, at present In this har bor, will leave the latter part of this week for Puget Sound for an overhauling at the Bremerton yard. The battleship Nebraska sailed this afternoon for the Bremerton Navy-yard. FLEET EXPECTED AT HONOLULU Coal Being Stored Up Sufficient for Use of Battleships. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 25. Advices from Honolulu of. February 19 say plans are already beginning to be laid for the victualling and entertainment of Rear Admiral Kvans' flleet, should it coiue to Honolulu. The addition of the 20,000 men whom the fleet may be expected to bring to the population of Honolulu will quickly exhaust tho normal supplies of fresh vegetables and island fruits grown here unless large additions are made to the area cultivated. -Although there has been no official announcement that the fleet is com ing here, there is a feeling of cer tainty that it will. There is now here and on the way to arrive within a. few weeks fully 60,300 tons of coal be longing to the Navy. This .coal has all been brought here since the an nouncement was made of the sending of the fleet to Pacific waters. For the ordinary purposes of the Navy at this port, 4000 or 5000 tons a year is all that is needed. Hence the provision of 60,000 tons here now Is looked on as practically conclusive that the fleet is coming. GIVES NOTICE OF ARRIVAL Secretary Metcalf to Notify Citie Ahead of Time. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf today said that he ex pects to announce two weeks ahead of time the itinerary of the battleships up the California coast to San Francisco, which will give ample opportunity for the various cities at which the vessels are to stop to make arrangements to give the sailor boys a hearty welcome. He also stated that it was his intention to permit the newspapermen aboard the ves sels to remain until they reach San Fran cisco. When the fleet goes up to Puget Sound it is unlikely that more than a squadron of vessels will remain at Seattle for any length of time, because of a lack of anchorage facilities for the entire fleet in the waters there. Heavy. Requisition for Stores. MARB ISLAND, Cal., Feb. 25. Tele graphic orders have been received here from the Navy Department for all stores, provisions and coal for the cruisers Ten nessee and Washington, to be delivered before Saturday next. In order that no de lay will be necessary in the sailing of the ships for the South. The orders were a surprise to naval officers, as it was not understood that the cruisers were under rush orders. Large requisitions have been received here from each ship. REFUTE CRITICS OF SHIPS (Continued From First Page.) . start on the voyage before the publica tion of his article. Recurring to the subject of responsibil ity of the Naval officers for criticisms of the Navy, Tillman asked the Admiral if he knew of any officers other than Com manders Sims and Hill who had written reports or made criticisms which after wards were made the basis of attacks upon the Navy. "I do not," replied Admiral Converse. "Was thpre any difference of opinion among members of the Board of Con struction in regard to matters such as the position of the armor belt, turret construction and ammunition hoists?" was asked. "The members of the Board were unanimous In approving the designs used." Modifications in Turrets. The Admiral stated that a change had been made in the turret construction of the Delaware type, which Is now build ing, in that a two-stage ammunition hoist has been used. He said this change had not been made with any idea to addi tional safety, but because greater speed was possible. He declared that not a single accident that has happened on any of . the American battleships had been due to the open turret; that all the ac cidents had originated at the breech of the gun and that the obvious remedy is additional screens between the breech and the ammunition charges prepared for reloading. Tillman here suggested a responsibility which Admiral Converse was not willing to assume. "You. as an expert, deny the charges that Reuterdahl brings. Are you willing to back up your position with your ex perience and the knowledge you possess of the construction of battleships in other navies and cross-examine Com mander Simms and Lieutenant-Commander Hill, if they should come here and attempt to substantiate-- their views?" the Senator asked. "No, sir. I prefer not to do that." re plied Admiral Converse with emphasis. He made it clear that he did not care to be brought into controversy with fel low Naval officers In such a manner. Apologize to the Admirals. Tillman explained that what he intend ed was that the Admiral should give to the committee pointers on which to cross examine witnesses who had attacked the Navy. Admiral Capps will be heard tomor row. Just before adjournment "Perkins said to the Naval officers: "We ought to apologize to you for call ing you to refute such articles as this." "That's true," said Hale, "but.it is written In such a vein that a layman could not understand how absurd the charges are. It attracted the attention of the whole country, and we had to in vestigate." Martin, Perkins and Gallinger laugh ingly suggested that Mr. Reuterdahl should be set off the fleet, if a conven ient barren island could be found in the Pacific Ocean. CORPSE NONUNION, ROW RIOT AT JUNEAU DURING FU NERAL OF MINER. I Union Men Lock Priest From Church and Try to Stop Progress of Hearse. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 25. A cable spe cial to the Post-Intelligencer from Juneau says: Two Servians, miners, one union and the other nonunion, died yesterday and the burial of one almost precipitated a riot in which the police were called on to restore order. The union man was buried peaceably, but when the priest In charge of the fun eral services attempted to say mass for the nonunion miner, he found the church door locked. A mob of 200 union Slavon ians requested the priest to refuse to bury the nonunionist. v The priest declined to heed the demands of the Slavonians, who refused, in turn, by force, to permit the body of the nonunion miner to be taken into the church. The disturbers attempt ed to stop the hearse by holding at the horses' bridles and succeeded in drag ging a number of men away from the funeral procession. The marshal attempted to restore order, but for the time being he was powerless. The crowd followed the remains to the cemetery and made another disturbance there. Order was finally restored'. No one was Injured. BENSON NOT A CANDIDATE Refuses to Enter Senatorial Race Against Fulton. ' "I will not consider it under any cir cumstances. Fulton is good enough for me." The foregoing is substantially the re sponse Judge H:' L. Benson, of Klamath Falls, now on the Circuit Court bench, made yesterday in reply to a telegram sent from Portland requesting him to be come a candidate for United States Sen ator. The telegram requesting Judge Ben son to enter the Fulton-Cake-U'Ren con test was forwarded by two Democrats, G. T. Harry, of this city, and John Rob ertson, of Madras, Crook County. Mr. Harry was for years prominently con nected with the labor organizations in this state and was a member of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Commission by ap pointment of Governor Chamberlain. Mr. Robertson is 'a merchant at Madras. Their message to Judge Benson was as follows: ' "Recent political developments menace the Interests of the Ueopla of this state. Will you consider nomination on Repub lican ticket as United States Senator? The signers of this wire, as you 'will rec ognize, are Democrats." TRACKS LAID TO SIERRA Western Pacific Built Beyond Oro vllle, Cal. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25. With the completion today of the Western Pacific tracks up into the Sierras to a point on the north fork of the Feather River, 19 miles above Orovllle, material began going forward from Marysvllle and Orovllle for the erection of the Great Western Power Company's gigantic plant which will be rushed to completion eo that it can begin furnishing electric current by October 1. VOTES AGAINST FORAKER (Continued From First Page.) showed that the discharged soldiers had a good record as soldiers and that It Is the duty of Congress to pass leg islation providing for their reinstate ment in the Army. It was defeated by five yeas and eight nays. Senator Dupont's substitute declared that the testimony showed that the shots were fired from Springfield rifles issued to Company B, Twenty-fifth In fantry. In effect It asserted the inno cence of Companies C and D, both of which were discharged with Company B. Only the author of the resolution and one other Senator voted for Its adoption. Senator Scott's resolution declared the evidence insufficient to hold guilty, any particular person or persons and the identity of the guilty parties un known It was defeated nine to four. There being no further substitutes offered, the original resolution was adopted. Senatqr Warner then offered the fol lowing resolution: That the testimony fails to identify the particular soldier or soldiers who partici pated in the. shooting affray. It was agreed to by a vote of eight yens, five Republican Senators opposed to the Lodge resolution not voting.
