V. K. Bailey, general auditor of the

Mr. Bailey declared that by applying
the wage scale of employes in 1901 to

raxed more than $,300.000. while the
actual Increase In the amounts paid for
labor in 19t over 1901 was $21,750,000.
' The difference In the figures showing

greatly Increased number of employes.

him.
In opening ma addrtM, Colonel Roose

prertdent of the T .M. C. A., declared that
wherever he found a veteran of the great
war who was) at the head of the Y. M.
C. A, he could give lis work bis unquali
fied approval.
Decency Is Commended.
"I believe in decency." continued the
Colonel. "Tha T. M. C. A, stands for
manliness and decency. If a man does
well by his family and home ha makes a
good clUxen. Whenever you get at the
head of the T. M. C. A- a man who lost
his arm at Chickaroauga. you may know
that he la all right. There la only one
penson I would put ahead of him. and that
person is Ms wife, who Is the mother of
Ms six children. I put the great veteran
of the war ahead of every other cltlsen,
but I put the woman wbo has made bun a
good wife ahead of them all.
"I want to call attention to the ad
mirable work done by the Forest Serv
ice In connection with these great for
est fires. Not only has the forestry
bureau done everything humanly possi
ble, with the appropriation given them,
but In flghtlnK fires, the men of the
service have shown the same abilities
oi endurance, courage and entire indif
ference to their own lives as Is shown
by the best fire departments In our big
cltiea mere is no body of public
servants of which the public has a
right to feel more proud tnan of the
men of the Forest Service.
New states Advised.
I wish I could go down to New Mex
ico and Alisons, but this is the nearest
place to them that I will reach on this
trip. Many of no" friends there have
written, asking me to advise them
about their constitutions. I have not
fe familiar enough with tbe condi
tions tt do so. But there Is one point
upon which I would like to advise them
and that Is to leave tbe constitutions
easv of amendment at any time, wnen
.. " nMtila feel that they should be
amended. Experience Has shown that
not only doctrinaires, but also design
ing corporation attorneys often get put
Into constitutions matters wnirn are
not thoroughly understood by the peo
ple at the time and my plea Is that the
people of the new states snouia oe leu
with their nanas tree so inn n si any
time they find that something has been
put Into their constitutions which they
did not know was there, or if they find
that something Is working badly which
they believed would work well, tbey
shall have an opportunity to easily
make any change that Is necessary.
Broad Manhood Goal.
"Do not base your hopes of govern
mental success on a genius, but seek to
develop a broad manhood. Don't allow
the public man to ask you to accept
domestic virtues as an offset for prof
ligacy in public life. The public man
Is bound to be decent If he expects tbe
confidence of his fellow-men.
"Make your Ideas felt In demanding
of your representative and executive
public officials tha same ieoency In
public as in private life. Demand not
only law honesty, but that honesty
that keeps a man straight at home or
In office.
"It does not matter how honest a
man may be In great things If he Is
dishonest In small things. Unless you
are exacting In this respect, the men
you send to represent you In your Leg
islatures will sell out If the price Is
"V1

high enough. If a n:an will be crooked
for you, he will be crooked against you.
BOT.QCET MISTAKEN FOR BOMB
Hoosevclt "Ducks" and Crowd Gives
Him Hearty Laugh.
LEOTI. Kan.; Aug. 30. The Roosevelt
train stopped for a few minutes at Trib
une. Kan., and' the Colonel went out to
make his bow to the crowd. Just as he
appeared on the platform, a woman hurl
ed a huge bunch of dahlias at him. The
Colonel, who is near sighted, saw dimly
some object hurling through the air di
rectly toward his head and dodged back
while the crowd laughed.
As soon as he saw what It was he
picked up the bouquet and thanked the
donor.
"I thought somebody was throwing a
bomb at me." he said. The cromd clam
ored for a speech. "Some kinds of gov
ernment will succeed with almost any
kind of people," he said, "but It takes a
good grade of cltlxen to make a success
of a government like ours."
Before he had a chance to complete bis

Main Line of Road, on Account of
Improvements, Now Has 3-
Cent Schedule.
rat.F!M Or.. Aug. 30 (Special.) Dis
cussing the fare situation on the O. R.
& N.. representatives of that roaa were
i-.a . -hoarinir hefore the State Railroad
Commission today and were granted per
mission to let the question or iares on
the Condon and Shaniko branches go over
intll November 1 for further hearing.
Tt was ascertained that, with changes
madA in the road, including reduction of
grades and straightening of curves, the
road has been able to rurnisn a new tar
iff, proofs of which have already been
i 1 .... j 1,A I 'nmmiwlntl This tariff
will be published in about 10 days and
virtually gives a 3-cent fare throughout
on the main line of the O. R. & N. There
are a few exception to thle, but the en
gineers for the Commission and the rail
road will hold a consultation in relation
to these difficulties and adjust them.
On the Condon and Shaniko branches,
however, a -cent fare still remains and
the hearing involved principally the pas
senger rate on these two roads. Repre
sentatives of the railroad company said
they desired permission to show state
ments illustrating the revenues derived
on the branches from a 4-cent fare in re
lation to the operating expenses. They
also desire to prepare, a statement show
ing what the comparative conditions
would be should a 3-cent fare, be Imposed.
They claim that business has been good
on the Shaniko branch on account of
heavy traffic following the building of the
Deschutes Railroad. When that road U
finally completed they claim tralffc will
fall off and the road will cease to bring
in good returns. They assert that it
would be Impossible to keep the lines In
operation at anything but a loss If a 3
cent fare should be Imposed, and hope
to prove this contention when they file
their statements showing comparative
revenues and operating expenses 'under
the 3 and 4-cent fares.
