FOES OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC
KC-GOVBKXOR ST. JOHN AXD CL.IX
TOX X. HOWARD SPEAK TODAY.
Mnu Meeting Will De Held for' Men
nnd Women ns Climax to Tem
perance ConjcrcuB.
The two most prominent speakers at
the groat Temperance Congress being
hoM in the city- this week have -been ex
Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas,
and Clinton X. Howard, of Rochester, N.
y. Large congregations have gathered
for the various sessions of the congress
to hear these men. and their audiences
have been aroused to great heights of en
thusiasm. The climax to the congress
-will bo reached In the meetings today.
This morning at 10:30 Clinton N. Howard
wlH rpealc at the White Temple on the
subject, "What Ought to Happen?" He
will address a mass meeting for men only
at the Marquam Grand this -afternoon at
3:53 Mr. Howard Is probably the most
forceful epeakcr on the American plat
form as a temperance advocate. He Is a
perfect whirlwind in action. He Is a small
man physically, but Is a brilliant thinker,
and a tremendously magnetic speaker. He
can hold an audience for two hours when
he wants to, and keep their undivided at
tention and Interest all the time. He has
been called "The Little Giant." 'and In
many ways the application is very appro
priate. Ex-Governor John P. SL John will also
speak twice- today. He will address a
mass meeting for women only . at .the
White Temple this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
He will spealc at the Taylor-Street M. E.
Church at 7:30. Mr. St. John Is known .as
the "Grand Old Man" of the Prohibition
party, and there are few men who can
excel him on the platform. Ho Is bright
and witty, -with a rich fund of dry humor,
and his long experience In thc-tcmperance
cause makes him an unusually Interesting
and Instructive speaker. Says one who
has heard him many times: 'Til go a.
hundred miles out of my way any time
to hear St. John."
Sermons for Xon-Catliolics.
Beginning- this evening, the fathers
of SL Mary's Cathedral, Fifteenth and
Davis streets, will give a series of
sermons, -which will form a syetemntlc
exposltion of Catholic teaching- for the
information of Interested non-Catho-llcs.
Tho Sunday evening services,
consisting- of vespers, sermon and'Tier
edictlon of the blessed sacrament, begin-
at 7:30 o'clock. The subjegt of the
Introductory, sermon lv'The igCatholIc
Church and jth .Son-Cathollc . World.'"

The proceedings were opened by an

I la which he said the Germans In Amerl-
ch. while absolutely, loyal to this coun

' gard for the Fatherland.
' Captain Behncke. wno spoke In ex.,

they know while In this country. From
one exposition to another they go, always
finding ready employment at such places.
It can be said that a large majority of
.them - have been at every. exhibition of
size held In the United States within
the" last ten years.
This is particularly true of the Turks,
the Algerians, the Egyptians, and the
Hindoos, most of whom were brought to
Portland from St. Louis. -However, some
of them never -saw an exposition or were
never outside -of. their own country before
coming to Portland. Such Is the case of
the Nex Perce Indians and some of the
Japanese. There ar,e many of tho Trail
people who never go outside the grounds
while the Exposition Is in operation
Many of the Trail people will be found
at the Jamestown Exposition, two years
hence, and are, already making arrange,
rpents with that Idea In view. They will
drift about the country during the two
Intervening--years, staying for short .pe
riods at street fairs and carnivals. Some
of them will succeed In securing engage
ments with road . companies, but It Is
nearly safe to say that ,most-of them will
be at the Jamestown Fair when It opens;
as they prefer expositions to anything
else.
The Trail is a city within itself, as It Is
TARIFF AND SURPLUS. .
AVliat Causes It and What Should Be
Done About It.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. IS.
(To tho Editor.) It Is ofttlmes said,
"History repeats itself.". Does it? The
answer depends on the point ot view.
Here Is a modern Instance of tho- abil
ity of history to repeat itself. In spots.
The other day you Intimated. If you
did not say so in so many words, that
the existing and apparently growing
deficit In the National Treasury is due
to projection. It Is not my present
purpose to either challenge or admit
your proposition, but to turn back tho
leaves ot history until we reach the
time of Henry Clay, some 70 years or
so ago. PartonMn his sketch of Clay
said: ' '. '
; "He reappeared In - Washington In
1S31, In the character. of Senator and
candidate for the Presidency. . . .
The first subject upon which he was
called to act was" the tariff. The Na
tional debt being within two or three
years of liquidation. Calhoun threaten
ing nullification, and Jackson vetoing
all Internal Improvement bills, it was
necessary to provide against an enor
mous surplus. Clay maintained that
the protective duties should remain In
tactand that. only, those duties should
be reduced, which protected no Amer
home to several hundred of the foreigners
who are at the Lewis and. Clark Exposi
tion. The Japanese, Egyptians; Algerians,
Hindoos. Indians, etc., are at the Trail all
the time, eating- and sleeping there. They
have apartments back of the different
shows. . The higher-salaried employes of
the amusement section of the Exposition
live In the city.
Although nearly & dozen different na
tionalities are represented by the people
who reside at the Trail, the foreigners
have a good time together. Nearly all
them can talk English, and they gather In
groups during their leisure hours, discuss
ing different topics, the sameNas other
people.- Early In the morning, before the
shows open, it Is a common sight to see
the Hindoos and the- Algerians walking
about with their arms linked.
The feminine instinct, such as Is found
In the -American women. Is also to be
found among the women of the Trail, who
live .there with their husbands nnd fami
lies. They have their social duties, and
It Is said that they make calls upon one
another Irrespective of race or color. However,-
thoso who cannot speak English do
not cut much of a figure among the smart
set of the Trail, ns those who are not able
to-'are only able to converse with their
own people.
There arc. a good many children on the
3AMS0N1VITSKY
SIBERIAN
ican Interest. This was done; the reve
nue was -reduced $3,000,000; and the
surplus was as threatening as before.
It was impossible to save the protec
tive duties entire without raising too
much' revenue. ... Such was the
prosperity of the country In 1832 that
the $3;000,000 lost to the revenue by Mr.
Clay's bill were likely to be made up
to it in three years by the mere In
crease in the Imports and land sales."
Here wo have a curiosity In political
economy. Seventy years ago protec
tive duties produced "an enrmous sur
plus," today tho same sort of duties
are creating "a growing deficit in the
Treasury budget."
When a calm view of the two situa
tions is taken It becomes evident that
the cause of the surplus In Jackson's
day was his "vetoing all Internal Im
provement bills. That is to say, Jack
son's policy kept the money of the peo
ple In the Treasury and prevented Its
use for the construction of roads and
canals, and the Improvement of rivers
Today, the money of the people Is being
expended with a prodigal hand for
these things. "In the sweet by and by."
when the rivers and harbors are all
Improved, the canals all dug and a
postoffice erected In every considerable
town in the land, the revenue will be
ample to pay the debt caused by doing
these things, and to again create the
"dangers of an enormous surplus." In
the meantime it will be well to remodel
some of the DIngley schedules, and to
refuse to put a tax on my cup of coffee.

Trail, and they have the best time of all.
It Is nothing; unusual to see Japanese,
Hindoo, Egyptian and Algerian children,
playing together. The Trail men are
great fishermen, or at least they have
been since they started to live at the Ex
position. Their houses are built over
Guild's Lake and all they have to do when
they want to fish ,Is to drop a line out of
their windows. They catch lots of carp
and catfish. Whenever the women want
fish for their meals, the men can catch
all they 'want in a very few minutes. "'
The Oriental building and Foreign Ex
hibits building contain many representa
tive people of "the different nationalities,
but very few of them wear their native
costuirics. Most all of those In the ex
hibit buildings can talk English fluently,
having- been following expositions In this
country for many years. The Hindoos,
the Japanese and- the Husslans are the
only ones who wear their native dress.
The Japanese women In the exhibit build
ings all wear their long flowing robes,
and some of the men wear the dress
peculiar to Japan.
Several Cossacks connected with the
Caucasian .display In the Foreign Exhibits
building wear their native dress, which
attracts the attention of the visitors. They
work about the 'exhibit, -but do notapeak
Aero.
English, and have nothing to do with
those who pay the exhibit' a visit. There
are two Hindoos in the Oriental building
who are sometimes to be seen in the cos
tumes of their country.
There are a couple of restaurants at the
Exposition where the girl waiters are
dressed in Dutch costumes. However,
they are' all -Americanized, and some of
them have never been out of Oregon, let
alone coming from Holland. The Ha
wallans. when they were at the Exposi
tion with the band, w.ere .very conspicuous
In their khaki suits. The members of El
lerys Band, nearly all Italians, attract no
little "attention when walking about the
'Exposition grounds In their uniforms.
