GETTYSBURG, Pa.; July 4. Presi
dent TVilson's address to the veterana
of the battle "of Gettysburg today was
as follows:
"I need not tell you what the battle of
Gettysburg meant. These gallant men
In blue and gray sit all about us here
Many of them met here upon this
ground In grim and deadly struggle.
Upon these famous fields and hillsides
their comrades died about them. In
their presence it were an impertinence
to discourse upon how the battle went,
how it ended, what it signified; but 50
years have gone by since then and I
crave the privilege of speaking: to you
for a few minutes of what these 50
years have meant.
"What have they meant? They have
meant peace and union and vigor and
the maturity and might of a great na
tion. Reunion Made Complete.
"How wholesome and healing the
peace has been! "We have found one
another ag&in as brothers and comrades
In arms, enemies no longer, generous
friends rather, our battles long past,
the quarrel forgotten except that we
shall not forget the splendid valor,
the manly devotion of the men arrayed
against one another now grasping
hands and smiling into each other's
eyes. How complete the union has be
come and how dear to all of us. how
benign and majestic as state after state
hs been added to this, our great fam
ily of free men! How handsome the
vigor, the maturity, the might of the
sreat nation we love with undivided
hearts; how full of large and confident
promise that a life will be wrought
that will crown its strength with gra
cious justice and with a happy "welfare
that will touch ail alike with deep con
tentment! We are debtors to those 50
crowded years; they have made us
heirs to a mighty heritage. -
"But do we deem the Nation complete
and finished? These venerable men
crowding here to this famous field have
set us a great example of devotion and
utter sacrifice. They were willing to
die that the people might live. But
their task is done. Their day is turned
into evening. They look to us to per
fect what they established. '
IVone Can Make Nation Afraid.
"Have affairs paused? Does the Na
tion stand still? Is what the 60 years
have wrought since those days of bat
tle finished, rounded out and ' com
pleted? Here is a great people, great
with every fores that has everbeaten
in the life blood of mankind. And it
is secure. There is -no one within Its
borders, there is no power among the
nations of the earth to make it afraid.
But has it yet squared -itself with its
sreat standards set up. at its birth.!
wheft it made that f irst noble, naive
appeal to the moral judgment of man-!
kindLto take notice that a government
had now at last been established which
was to serve men, not masters? It is
secure in everything except the satis
faction that its life is right. adjusted
to the uttermost to the standards of
righteousness and humanity. The days
of sacrifice and cleansing are not
closed. We have harder things to do
than were done in the heroic days of
war, because harder to see clearly, re
quiring more vision, more calm bal
ance of Judgment, a more candid
searching of the very springs of right.
"Look around you upon the field of
-Gettysburg. Picture the array, the
. fierce heats and agony of battle col
umn hurled against column, battery
bellowing to battery. Valor? Yes!
Greater no man shall see In war; and
self-sacrifice and loss to the uttermost;
Ihe high recklessness of exalted devo
tion which does not count the cost. We
are made by these tragic, epic things to
know what it costs to make a nation
: the blood and sacrifice of multitudes
of unknown men lifted to a great
stature in tho view of all generations
by knowing no limit to their manly
willingness to serve. In armies thus
marshalled from the ranks of free men
you will sec. as it were, a nation em
battled, the leaders and led. and may
know, if you will, how little except in
form its action differs in days of peace
from its action in days of war.
Action Never Ceases.
"May we break camp now and be at
case? Are the forces that fight for
the Nation dispersed, disbanded, gone
to their homes forgetful of the com
mon cause? Are our forces disorgan
ized, without constituted leaders, and
the might of 1nen consciously united
because we contend, not with armies,
but with principalities and powers and
wickedness in high places? Are we
content to lie still? Does our union
mean sympathy, our peace content
ment, our vigor right action, our ma
turity self-comprehension and a clear
confidence in choosing what we shall
do? War fitted us for action, and ac
tion never ceases.
"I have been chosen the leader of the
Nation: I cannot justify the choice by
any qualities of my own, but so It has
come about, and here I stand. Whom
do I command? The ghostly hosts who
fought upon these battlefields long ago
and are Eone? These gallant gentle
men stricken in years whose fighting
days are over, their glory won? What,
are the orders for them, and who ral
lies mem; I have in my mind another
host, whom these set free of civil strife
in order that they might work out in
days of peace and settled order the
life of a great nation. That host is
the people themselves, the great and
the small, without class or difference
of kind or race or origin; and undivided
in Interest, if we have but the vision
to guide and direct them and order
their lives aright in what we do.
"How shall we hold such thoughts in
our hearts and not be moved? I would
not have you live even, today wholly
in the past, but would' wish to stand
with you in the light that streams
upon us now out of that great day gone
by. Here is the Nation God has builded
by our hands. What shall we do with
it? Who stands ready to act again
andT always in the spirit of this day of
reunion and hope and patriotic fervor?
The day of our country's life has but
broadened into morning. ro not put
uniforms by. Put the harness of the
present on. lAtl your eyes to the great
tracts of life yet to be conquered in
the Interest of righteous peace, of that
prosperity which lies in a people's
hearts and outlasts all wars and errors
of men. Come, let us be comrades and
Moldiera yet to serve our fellow men in
fluiet counsel, where the blare of trum
pets is neither heard nor heeded, and
here the things are done which make
blessed the nations of the world in
peace and righteousness and love,"

LETTER WRITTEN KANSAN
'Lightning: Rod Xot Up," apd There
Is No Intention of Conniving: at
Its Raising Party Reorgan
lzation to Go On.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 4. (Special;)
Senator Borah, of Idaho, one of the
leaders of the movement to rehabilitate
the Republican party on "sane, progres
sive lines," who has been mentioned
frequently as a. possible standard
bearer in the new National campaign,
declares in a letter to a. resident of this
city that he Is not,-a candidate for the
Presidential nomination.
The Idaho Senator has won a strong
following in Kansas City by his course
in Congress and by his general attitude
toward National political affairs.
Some time ago James A. Troutman,
of Topeka. wrote to him saying tHat
his friends in the state would be glad
to organize a systematic movement in
behalf of his nomination for the Presi
dency on the Republican ticket in 1916,
and asking consent to use his name.
Lightning, Rod Is IV ot Up.
Mr. Troutman has received a letter
from Senator Borah in reply to the one
referred, to, written from Washington
under date of June 29. and reading as
follows:
"My Dear Troutman: Replying to
your kind letter of the 26th, permit me
to thank you sincerely. I appreciate
what you say and what you have said.
As you have- been generous enough to
treat the subject with sincerity, I must
answer with equal sincerity. I am not
a. candidate for that high office. I have
not my lightning rod up, as is now be
ing published abroad, and I haven't the
slightest intention of putting it up or
of conniving at its being put up. I am
not and cannot be misled by the gener
ous words of friends as to the real sit
uation or persuaded into the belief that
there is any possibility, much less a
probability, of such a thing happening,
and I promise you as my personal
friend, that I do not propose for a mo
ment to divert my mind from the
things in which I am interested and the
work I am now in a position to do or
help do into a serious consideration of
the matter.
Denial of Candidacy Reiterated.
"I should like to be helpful In mak
ing the Republican party a positive and
affirmative influence in political affairs
again and to help direct it along pro
gressive and aggressive lines, to reha
bilitate it in principles and restore it to
power, to make it the faithful medium
through which its millions of devoted
supporters can enjoy the realization of
their hopes and aspirations, and I do
not want to be considered while doing
this as the candidate at all for any of
fice. I positively am not.
"Please accept this a conclusive of
the whole subject, both now and later.
I feel sure you will understand how
very much I appreciate your more than
generous suggestions, but that you will
well know also that I am not speaking
with any mental reservations."
BONES OF PRINCESS FOUND
f
Skeleton of .Indian Woman, Bead
Bedecked, Unearthed at Salem.
SALEM, Or., July 4. (Special.)
What Is believed to be the skeleton of
an Indian princess has been unearthed
by. workmen grading in front of prop
erty near State street. The bones were
in an upright position, and around them
were quantities of beads and other rare
Indian ornaments. Near the bones was
a stone foot which is believed to have
been the totem of the last of the tribe.
That the woman was at least 100
years of age when she died is indicated
by the condition of her teeth, 'which
were worn to the roots. Pioneers say
that the body was found at a place
which was an Indian burying ground.
The skeletons of two Indians were un
earthed at the same place two years
ago.
U'REN HAS NEW TAX IDEA
Exemption of Personal Property to
Value of $1500 to Be Sought.
SALEM, Or., July . 4. (Special.) W.
S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, evidently in
tends to have submitted to the people
at the next general election an amend
ment to the constitution providing for
the exemption of personal property to
the value of $1500 from taxation. Mr.
U'Ren called Secretary of State Olcott
over the telephone today and asked
him to approve a form of petition
which will be circulated for the initia
tion of the law. -
It is planned to make It mandatory
upon the Secretary of State to resubmit
the measure to the people for repeal at
me 191b ana lsis elections. While the
object of this plan has not been re
vealed, it is believed that it is intended
to win votes for the amendment.
HOUSE HAS OWN INQUIRY
Resolutions to Be Reported Under
Agrement for Speedy Action.
WASHINGTON, July 4. Resolutions
for a broad investigation of Martin
M. Mulhall's sensational charges that
present and former . members of Con
gress were "influenced" by a lobby of
the National Association , of Manufac
turers will be reported to the House
tomorrow by the rules committee under
an agreement for speedy passage.
Republican Leader Mann, Progressive
Leader Murdock and Representative
Nolan, of California, urged resolutions
broad enough to investigate the Mul
hall charges, or in effect to permit the
House to conduct a lobby investiga
tion of its own, independent of the
Senate's.

TARIFF TO BO INTO
EFFECT PROMPTLY
Wool and Sugar Only Excep
tions to Decision Reached
by Committee.
CAUCUS TO BIND PARTY
Chairman Simmons Announces Sena
tors Who Are Absent Will Not
Be Exempt Convict Labor
Clause Amended.
WASHINGTON. July 4. The major
ity members of the Senate finance com
mittee decided today that all schedules
of the new tariff bill except sugar and
wool jjhould become effective immedi
ately lifter the enactment of the meas
ure into law. Sugar, with the approval
of the Democratic caucus, will be sub
ject to the Payne-Aldrich rates until
March 1, 1914. Tho committee tenta
tively agreed on a date for the wool
schedule, but did not announce it be
cause of a promise to confer with Sena
tors Walsh and Thomas, who could not
be reached today.
Additional revenue was provided for
oy the committee when it decided, in
view of the revenue tax on brandies
used in fortifying sweet wines, to levy
a revenue tax of 25 per cent ad valorem
on what are known as "spurious wines,"
wines made from pomace and. fortified
with chemicals.
Containers of such wines must bear
a label showing what materials enter
into their product. . Just how much
revenue will be derived from this the
committee could not estimate, because
the tax probably will curtail the pres
ent output considerably.
Convict Clause Amended.
Another change proposed relates to
the clause prohibiting importation of
convict-made goods. It was amended
so as to -read that such goods shall
be excluded from countries which do
not "prohibit convict labor." Origi
nally the clause read from countries
which did not "restrict" convict labor.
, Chairman Simmons said today that
he expected general debate on the bill
to' begin a week from Monday. He
will report the measure probably next
Wednesday.
Regarding the binding resolution
which will be adopted by the caucus
tomorrow. Senator Simmons said that
its provisions would bind every Demo
cratic Senator who did not withdraw
from the caucus, whether he voted for
the resolution or against it, or even
if he was absent when the vote was
taken, unless he had previously pledged
himself to his constituency to vote
against some rate or principle involved
in the bill. The Senator's attention
had been called to the fact that Sena
tor Thompson, of Kansas, had gone to
his horns in Kansas and could not at
tend the caucus tomorrow.
' Pledge Binds Absentees.
"Senator Thompson has given no no
tice that he desires to be freed from
the caucus pledge," said Senator Sim
mons, "and the resolution would bind
him just as much as any other Sena
tor." The amendment to the bill fixing a
stamp tax on cotton sales sold for fu
ture delivery, members of the commit-
1
tee believe, will bring in considerable
revenue. Though the primary design
of the amendment is to abolish stock
exchange gambling in cotton futures.
it is the general opinion that it will
not do so, but that It will considerably
curtail it. In that case, the. Govern
ment will derive some revenue, but this
cannot be estimated.
"Should the stamp tax on cotton fu
ture deals fail to curtail this form of
stock dealing," Senator Simmons said
today, "the revenue to the Government
would be enormous."
TARIFF OBJECTION VOICED
French Minister at Fourth of July
Dinner, TTrges Specific Duty.
PARIS, July 4. The members of the
American Chamber of Commerce of
Paris and their American and French
friends celebrated the ourth by dtning
together tonight.
, The French government honored the
occasion by sending a detachment of
Republican Guards, who, in their pic
turesque uniforms, were disposed at In
tervals behind the long-guest table.
The American Ambassador, Myron T.
Herrick. dwelt at length on the ad
vantages to the United States of
financing farmers by long time cheap
credits, with gradual amortization,
such as farmers of France, Germany,
Hungary and Italy now enjoy.
M. Masse, the Minister of Commerce,
alluding to the American tariff, ex
pressed doubt whether the revision
under consideration would be advan
tageous to French commerce. The prin
cipal complaint of France against the
tariff was in its administration. He
believed it would best jsfomote interna
tional commercial peace if the United
States imposed specific duties only, and
not specific and ad valorem duties.
