THROWS
OFF ALL DESERVE
He Impressively Declares Be

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-

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.

LIMA, Peru, Feb. 25. The entertain

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

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

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."

It Is the duty of Congress to pass leg

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.
