"Ry far the greatest problem, th most far-reaching In Its atupend.uiR tin purtance la that problem, or rather that group of probK-nm, which we have grown to apeak of aa the labor nuentlon 'The foundation of our whole social structure rent upon the material and moral well being, the Intelligence, the foreolght, the aanlty, the. genoe of duty and the wholesale patriotism of the wage worker. "Thla la.floubly the case now, for. In addition to each man's Individual ac-, tlon, you have learned the great lesson of acting In combination. It would be Impossible to overestimate the far reaching1 Influence of and, on the whole, the amount of good done through your associations. "In addressing you the one thing that I wish to avoid la any mere glittering generality, any mene high sounding phraseology and, above aill, any appeal u hataoever made In a demagogic spirit or In a spirit of mere emotionalism. When we come to dealing with our so cial and Industrial deeds, remedies, rights and wrong, a ton of oratory la not wcyth an ounce of hard headed, kindly common sense. "The fundamental law of healthy po litical life In this great republic Is that JUST RECEIVED Our own Importation direct from Hong Kong 50 Rolls New Stronger than Cn1l nnd CHARLES HEILB0RN & SON each man shall In deed, and not merely !n word. b treated strictly on hi worth a a man; that each shall do full jus tice to his fellow and In return shall ex act full Jiisllcu from him. "We must bewar of any itt'-mpt to make hatred In any form the basis of action. Most emphatically each f us needs to stand up for hi own rights. All men and all grout of men are bourn! to retain their self respect and In demanding this same respect from oth ers to see that they are nut Injured and that they have secured to them the fullest liberty of thought and action. Hut to feel a grudge against others, while It may or may not harm them. Is sure In the long run to do Infinitely greater harm to th man himself. "The more a healthy American sees his Mlow men. the greater growg his conviction that -our chief troubles come from mutual misunderstanding, from failure to nppp-rlate one another! point of view. In other words, the great need Is fellow feeling, sympathy, brother hood; and all this naturally cornea by association. It Is therefore of vital Im portance that there should be such as sociation. "The most serious disadvantage In illy llf" Is the tendency of each man to ki-ep Isolated In his own little set and to look upon the vast majority of hla fellow citizens lndlffrently, so that h s.mn conn-s to forg.-t that theyjiave the sum n-d blood, the same love and hate, the sane Ilk. k nnd dislikes, the same di-airu for g"id and the same perpetual tendency, ever needing to be checked and correct", to hipe from good Into evil. If only our people can be throw.! t'iK'ther where they act on a common ground with the same motives and have the same objects, we need not have much fear of their fulling to acquire a genuine respect for one another: and with such resprt there must finally corne fair play for all. "In the country districts the sur roundings ar. such that a mnn can us ually work out his own fate by him self to the best advantage. In our cit ies or wh-re men congregate In masses It Is oft-n necessary to work In com bination, that Is. through associations by trade unions. Of course If managed unwisely the very power of such union or organization make It capable of do ll g much harm, but on the whole It would be hard to over estimate the good these organizations have done In the past and Mill harder to estlmato the goo. they can do In the future If handled with resolution, forethought, honesty and sanity. "It Is not possible to lay down a hard ar.d fast rule, logically perfect, aa to where the state shall and where the In dividual shall be left unhampered and unhvlped. We have exactly the same right to regulate the condltlorfs of life and work In factories and tenement houses that we have to regulate fire es capes In our houses. In certain com munities the existence of a thoroughly efficient department of factory Inspec tion Is Just aa essential as the esti mate of a fire department. How far we shall g In regulating the hours of lab or or the liabilities of employers la a matter of expediency, and each cae must be determined on its own merits exactly aa tt la a matter of expediency to determine what so called 'public util ities' the community shall Itself own and what one It shall leave to private or corporate ownership, securing to It self merely the right to regulate. Some times one course Is expedient; some times the other. "In addretslng an audience like this I do not have to say that the law of life is work and that work In Its.'lf so far from being any hardship Is a great blessing, provided always that It Is car tied on under conditions which preserve a man's self respect and allow him to develop his own character and rear his children so that he and they, as well as the whole community of which he and hey are a part, may steadily march on ward and upward. The Idler, rich or poor. Is at best useless and Is generally a noxious member of the community. If he does not work he fails not only In his duty to the rest of the community but he fails signally In his duty to him self. "There Is no need of reviling the Idle. We can afford to treat them with Im patient contempt, for when they fall to do their duty they fail to get from life the highest and keenest pleasure that life can give. To do our duty; that is the summing up of the whole matter. We must do our duty by ourselves and we must do our duty by our neighbors. It la not possible to say what shall be the exact limit of Influence allowed the state or what limit shall best serve to that right of Individual Initiative so (Continued on fourth page.) Era Matting Carpet Exnmlno THREE POWERS REMAIN IN PEKIN Germany, Austria and Italy Will Not Withdraw Troops. CHING REPRESENTS EMPRESS Three Mere Members of Tiusj U Yioibs Emoted - Retldeat AmerkaasThlak lie Forklddei City Short Be Destroyed. LONDON, Sept. 4.-The latest reli able Ptkln' date la now nearly a fort night old. An undated dispatch has been received at Vienna reporting that the allied troop" marched through the imperial palace August 2S. but It was known that this date had been fixed by the allied commanders for a formal promenade. There is no other news of any kind. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Dally Mail aays that the Canton offi cials have been ordered to transmit all possible revenue to the north for war expenses and that ail pay of of ficials from viceroys downward has b(n stopped during hostilities. The Vienna correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that he learns from a good source that the Germans, Austrians and Italians will remain in Pekln after the withdrawal of the Rus sians. Shanghai and Hong Kong dispatches express the utmost astonishment at the idea of evacuating Pekln. WASHINGTON. Sept. J. A dispatch from Minister Conger waa received by the atate department today. It was chiefly Interesting In being the first word from him since his dispatch of the 27th referring to the proposed pa rade of the troop through the imper ial palace In Pekln. Like that dis patch thla 1 dateless as to Pekln.' The, content were not mad public but It waa stated that it contained nothing materially changing the situa tion. Lack of date led to a determina tion to take energetic steps by which all dispatches here, after coming to the state department from China, will have the date clearly state. The plain indication is tint the pow er are acting upon Information con veyed In the last note of the state de partment and are bringing all their in fluences to bear upon Russia tii Induce her to change her mind as to with drawing her troops. For some reason the authorities here appear io feel that this tffort will be successful. It is noted as a fact of great sls"iheance that the proposition is being advanced to have Prince Ching return to Pekin, as acting head of the Chinese govern ment. The suggestion is made that the progress of this with the view of re organization while the international troop3 are still In Pekln, promising as it does speedily to provide an actual de facto Chinese government with which the nations may treat without further doubt as to Its strength, may solve the present problem and put the Chinese question In- a fair way to final and satisfactory settlement. Much may depend upon the attitude of Russia in this matter. Rr. Hill. the first assistant secretary of state, returned to Wash ington today and assumed the duties of acting head of the state department, relieving Mr. Adee. BERLIN. Sept. 3. Negotiations con tinue between the powers respecting the propositions of Russia. It appears that a portion of the proposal which contem plates the removal of the legations to Tien Tsln does not meet with opposi tion, but the proposal that the troops should vacate Pekln will not be acted upon until after a thorough examina tion of the case by the other power with a special view to ,the question of military advisability. Germany's program Is to await the action of the other powers. One lead ing Berlin journal asserts that Emper or William while conversing with a group of officers last Saturday evening1, said: "Under no conditions shall we give up Pekln, not even If every army corps has to be mobilized." SHANGHAI. Sept. 3. The German transport Batavla will debark German troops at Woo Sung to assist the Brit ish and French detachments. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. The war department yesterday received a cable gram from General Barry, of which the following portion has been made public: "Tuku, no date. Adjutant-General, Washington: General CbuiTee has ev erything well In hand. His driving power materially assisted prompt re lief of legations. Considering arduous service the condition of the troops Is splendid. BARRY." A considerable portion of the dispatch which the - department did not make public r-lateJ to military details. DENVER, Col., Kept. 3. -Major g. K. Hooper, of this city, has received a letter from Lbutenant-Colonel Coolldge, dated Tien Tsln, China, August 8. Lieutenant-Colonel Coolldge led the Ninth Infantry In Its attack on the Inner walls of Tien Tsln. The letter gives an ac count of the fighting at Tien Tain and continues: "The Japanese looted th? Chinese house, but the French were entirely In the robbery business, and robbed and murdered right and left, and do still. I believe the British were granted one day to loot, but this was soon stop ped, except by the French, who still continued the work In their own quar ter. The American quarter haa oeen very quiet and we guard It aa best we can with cur small garrison. The Chinese dead are all burled and the town Is cleared up and pwa.Me. "There were 20,000 dead Chinese, and probably one-third of the city Is burn ed by shot and shell or incendiaries. On account c, the crowded condition of the city. It would be a good thing If one-half of It were destroyed. PEKIN. Friday. Aug. 21.Prlnee Chlng is endeavoring to open negotiations with the allies. Tu Hsien. the governor of Shanghai, has s?nt a memorial to the throne ask ing for a reward for having Invited fifty-two foreigners under his prrtec tion and for having afterwards killed them. PEKIN. Aug. 22. Chung LI. a mem ber of the Tsung LI Tamtn and prefect of police, visited the Austrian repre sentative yesterday who arrested him because of the Chinese officials' com plicity in attacks on the legations.. An Austrian official dispatch says that U was military governor of Pekln. NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-The Herald this morning publishes the following dispatches: PEKIN. Aug. 20. via Shanghai. Sun day. Three more members of the Tsung LlYamun have been executed by the empress. They are Hen Tun, a member of the Imperial secretary; LI Shan, a friend of the foreigners, and U Ylen Yuan. They were put to death just before the arrival of the allied forces. There Is no government In Pekln. The Japanese and Russians for some un known reason still remain outside the Innermost palaces of the forbidden city. The Germans, on the other hand, desire to burn everything and avenge the death of Earon Von Ketteler. "Yesterday was quiet in the section allotted to Americans In the southern part of the city. Its condition is In great contrast to the oth;r foreign sec tions, where thieving still continues. The credit Is due to General Chaffee's excellent proclamation forbidding looting- and offering fair pay for provisions. It has been ascertained that the posi tions held by the legationers during their siege were undermined by the Boxers and in a few daj-9 more the mine would have been sprung. PEKIN. Aug. 22. via Shanghai, Sun day. The Princess Chlng states that Prince Chlng, the pro-foreign Chinese leader, wanted to communicate with General Chaffee but was Informed by the general that he would first have to confer with the other allied generals and would give the prince a reply to morrow whether the Interview woul ' be desirable. The anti-foreign elet.ua! all followed the flight of the court. Looting continues and the Boxers con cealed In several different sections of the city still keep up a desultory fire. The streets are picketed by the allies' troops. The first German contingent of troops. 3000 In number, will arrive to morrow. According to numerous reports the many thousands of Boxers who were scattered on the arrival of the allies are again massing to attack Pekln. These rumors create great uneasiness. The Japanese have captured 5000 bu shels of rice, and silver bullion to the amount of J2.000.000. In Tien Tsln the Americans have captured sliver bullion to the value of half a million dollars. PEKIN. Aug. 26. via Shanghai. Sun day. Chlng Shin, Na Tung and Chung Llt members of the Tsung LI Yamun, are trying to negotiate with the gener als of the allied forces through Sir Rob ert Hart, director of Imperial customs. In order to prevent the destruction of the Innermost palace of the forbidden city. With the same object In view the Russians have occupied the palace. Resident Americans hope that the ne gotiations will not succeed. They think the city ought to be completely de stroyed and that Na Tung and Chung LI should be beheaded since they formed part of the cabal which caused the murder of Baron Von Ketteler and attempted to massacre all foreigners, and that no leniency should be shown or the next generation of Chinamen will repeat the crime. Many residents of other nationalities are moving Into the American section In ordor to be safe from the thieving that Is going on. With the missionaries who are being escorted today to Tien Tsin on their way home were Mrs. and Miss Wood ward and Miss Payne of Chicago. The British forces met five miles to the westward of Pekin 300 Boxers and 2000 regular Chinese troops. The latter fled without a jhot and the Boxers fol lowed suit after losing seventy moo.

One shot was fired but the gun was struck down arid the weapon snatched from Branstetter before he could shoot again. The shooter Is under arrest. NO OPPOSITION TO DEMOCRATS. Arkansas Elects Jefferson Davis for Governor. - ij LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Sept. 3. The entire Democratic ticket, headed by Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Pope county, for governor, was elected In Arkansas today. Early returns Indicate that the vote will be lighter than expected. H. L.
