liver ' Prepared Address Compare
Civilizations of Past With That of
Present Enumerates Virtues. Ne
cessary for Great Government.
Berlin, May 12. Sunshine and
warmth, aided by throat specialists
enabled Colonel Roosevelt to deliver
his address. A large crowd gathered
to hear the distinguished American
peak on "The World Movement."
After comparing the civilization of the
past with the civilization of the pres
ent he concluded:
"What Is the lesson to us today?
Are we to go the way of the older civ
ilizations? The immense increase in
the area of civilized activity today, so
that It Is nearly coterminous with the
world's surface; the immense Increase
In the multitudinous variety of Its
activities; the Immense Increase In
the velocity of the world movement
are all these, to mean merely that the
crash will be all the more complete
and terrible when It comes? We can
not be certain that the answer will
be in the negative; but of this we can
be certain, that we shall not go down
to ruin unless we deserve and earn
our end.v There is no necessity for us
to fall; We can hew out our destiny
for ourselves, if only we have the wit
and the courage and the honesty,
"Personally, I do not believe that
our civilization will fall. I think that
on the whole we have grown better
and not worse. I think that on the
whole the future holds more for us
than the great past baa held. But,
assuredly, the dreams of golden glory
In the future will not come i true un
less, high of heart and strong of hand,
by our own mighty deeds we make
- thorn enma true. We cannot afford
to develop any one set of qualities, any
one set of activities, at the cost of
seeing others, equally necessary
atrophied. Neither the military effi
ciency of the Mongol, the extraordi
nary business ability of the Phoenl
clan, nor the subtle and polished in
tellect of the Greek availed to avert
destruction.
What We Need.
"We, the men of today apd of the
future, need many qualities if we are
to do oar work well. We need, first
of all and roost Important of all, the
Qualities which stand at the base of
Individual, of family life, the funda
mental and essential ' qualities the
homely, every-day, all-Important vir
tues. If the average man will not
work, if he has not in him the will
and the power to be a good husband
and father; if the average woman Is
not a good .housewife, a good mother
of many healthy children, then the
state will topple, will go down, no
matter what may be Its brilliance of
artistic development or material
achievement. Eut these homely qual
ities are not enough. There must, In
addition, be that power of organization
that power of working In common for
a common end, which the German
people have shown In such signal
fashion during the last half-century.
Moreover, the things of the spirit are
even more important than the things
of the body. We can well do without
the hard Intolerance and arid intel
lectual barrenness of what was worst
In the theological systems of the past
but there has never been greater need
of a high and fine religious spirit than
at the present time. So, while we can
laugh good-humoredly at some of the
pretensions of modern philosophy in
its various branches, it would be
worse than folly on our part to Ig
nore our need of intellectual leader

VILLAGE DESTROYED
BY FOREST FIRES.
'
Duluth, Minn.,' May 12. All
settlements In the vicinity of
Grand Marals are burning to-
day or destroyed. The villages
of Tofte.-Lutien and Rosebush
are wiped out. Chippewa Is half
destroyed. Standing and cut
timber worth several million
dollars has been burned. "
it would also be a, bad thing not to
have Tolstoy, not to profit by the lof
ty side of his teachings. There are
plenty -of scientific men whose hard
arrogance, whose cynlca. . material
Ism', whose dogmatic intolerance, put
them on the level with, the bigoted
mediaeval eccleslastlclsm which they
denounce. Tet our debt to scientific
men is incalculable, and our civili
zation of today would have reft from
it all that which most highly distin
guishes It if the work of the great(
masters of science during the past
four centuries were now undone or
forgotten. Never has philanthropy,
humanitarlanlsm, seen such develop
ment as now;and though we must all
beware of the folly, and the vicious-
ness no wore than folly, which marks
the believer In. the perfectibility of
.man when his heart runs away with
his head, or when vanity usurps the
place of conscience, yet we must re
member also that It is only by, work
ing along the lines laid down by the
philanthropist, by the lovers of man
kind that we can be sure of lifting our
civilization to a higher and more per
manent plane of well-being than was
ever attained by any preceding civili
zation. Unjust was Is to be abhorred;
but woe to the nation that does not
make ready to hold its own In time of
need against all who would harm it;
and woe thrice over to the nation in
which the average man loses the
fighting edge, loses the power to
serve as a soldier it the day of need
should'arlse.

BEAUTIFUL TROUT

According to reports received from
Hermlston the big government reser
voir is teeming with rainbow trout.
The fish are aald to be nearly starved,

since the flesh Is soft and of a .poor
flavor.
When thousands of beautiful trout
were found floundering in pools on
the project last fall it was believed
that the work of destruction on the
part of the government engineers had
been complete and that all of the
trout allowed to find their way Into
the reservoir had escaped Into the ir
rigation ditches to die. It now seems
that a few thousand of. the fish re
mained in the reservoir and that with
a supply of food Insufficient for such
a large number of fish they are on
the verge of starvation and are
swarming at the outlet of the Teed ca
nal in an effort to get back Into the

VALUABLE RACING COLT
IS RUINED BY BULL DOG
Jessupburn, the $5,000 running colt
owned by Res Kees of Walla Walla,
was probably ruined for further track
work yesterday when he was attacked
by a bull dog owned by Ed Dooley al
so of Walla Walla,' while the animal
with several others was. being placed
in a car preparatory to shipping them
to Salt Lake for the track events in
that city. .
Jessupburn was brought on to Pen
dleton where two veterlnarles were se
cured and they spent most all after
noon working with the animal, whose
sides and flanks were laid wide open
by the sharp teeth of the canine. In
the death fight between the two in
furiated animals Trainer Jack K rouse,
of the local Walla Walla track, had
a narrow escape from death and pos
sibly would have not escaped unin
jured had he not thrown himself be
hind a bale of straw In the opposite
end of the car.
Jessupburn, along with David Bol-
and and Frelze, the latter owned by
Horn Ennls, another Walla Walla
man, had been loaded in tne car yes
terday morning.
Jessupburn kicked the bull-dog
which was being taken on the trip.

PUTS BAN Ji OPEN
PUBLIC FEED YARD
COUNCIL PUTS STOP TO
WATER STREET OUTRAGE
Will Prohibit Farmers from Using
Fashionable Residence District As
Hitching Yard Hitching Racks
Will Be Provided Raley Street to
Be Improved.
No longer is the fashionable resi
dence district on Water street to be
subjected to the humllitation of an
open public feed yard. At a meeting
of the council last evening steps were
taken to prevent the further use of
the unused portion of Cottonwood
street between Water and the levee
as a hitching and feed yard?
For several years the farmers and
others coming to town have made use
of this portion of the street to tie
their horses and feed them while
transacting business in town. They
not only made an unsightly litter but
collected untold hordes of flies which
sought the residences when the
horses were gone. For sevoral years
the owners of property along Water
street have protested against .what
they considered an outrage, but it was
not until last evening that any action
was secured from the council. In or
der to make it impossible to use the
street for a hitching placo a fence
will probably be put across.
Before this is done, however, an
other and better hitching place will
be provided by the city. Members of
the council are now looking for a
suitable place and just as soon as one
can be found a series of regular
hitching racks will be erected for the
accommodation of the people driving
to town who do not care te put their
teams in stables or feed yards while
here. ,
Will Improve Raley Street.
Another important action taken last
evening was the passage of a motion
giving the street committee authority
i to Improve that portion of Raley street
between the Walters mill and the cor
poration limits. An appropriation of
$200 has been made for the purpose
and It Is believed that this will be suf
ficient. The county road beyond the J
city Ilmifs Is now in good condition
and with the Improvement of Raley
street- authorized and also that be
tween Lincoln street and the mill, the
road leading out of town to the west
will prove one of the most popular
driveways for both autos and car
riages. Franklin Street Improved.
It was reported that the Improve
ment of Franklin street had been com
pleted, that the roadway Is not only
open but is In first class condition. It
was estimated that the work of open
ing up this street through the rock
bluff would cost the city $200, but
under the direction of Chairman Stro
ble of the street committee, it was
completed at a cost of less than $100.
Judge James A. Fee. whose property
fronts on the part of the street Im
proved, contributed '$75 and Mrs. E.
W. McComas contributed $26.
Since this was the first regular
meeting of the council held thl
month, most of the evening was con
sumed in auditing a large number of
accounts against the city.

home the favorite wandering Ameri
can by killing the fatted beef trust?

Reah's wife and daughter, the presi
dent of the Tennessee River Packet ,
company, and the owners of the Salt
illo. It is said that every precaution
was taken to avoid the danger but
high water and darkness made thiav
impossible.
The boat left St. Louis bound for"1
points along the Tennessee river at
7 o'clock last night The rise of the
river had made the voyage precarious
as the water waa heavily clogged wlta
driftwood.
When nearing Glen Park the boat
was drawn shoreward by the current
despite the frantic efforts of the pi
lot. It drifted almost to the bank
when it struck a rock.
The first news received in St. Louis -that
the boat had gone down was a
telephone message from M. A. Demp
sey of Cape Girardeau, who was sv
passenger.
Dempsey was one of those thrown
from the boat into the water. H
swam to the shore through the float
ing wreckage and made his way to
Glen Rock.
After sending his message to St.
Louis, Dempsey started to walk to
the city to get help for the men and
women marooned at Glen Rock, which,
is a lime kiln point.
An automobile containing relatives.
of several passengers of the ill fated'
boat left St. Louis at midnight to go
to the rescue.
Peter McLoon, superintendent of a
cement company plant rushed to the
rescue of the passengers. He waa)
followed by his entire crew and they
worked valiantly to drag the strug
gling passengers from the water. Af
ter they were taken ashore they were
given shelter in the lime ( company's
boarding house.
The City of Saltillo la owned by the
St. Louis and Tennessee River Pack
et company. The boat was built at
Jeffersonvllle, Ind., in 1892, and is 100
feet long, 36 feet beam and drew 6.6
feet. The vessel was bound from SV
Louis to Waterloo, Ala., on the Ten
nessee river with stops at the leading
river cities.
The boat struck the rock at 1:19
o'clock, but Captain Crane said he.
ran two miles to get to a telephone.
Mrs. Reah's body has been recov--ered,
but the others are missing. Tha
remaining passengers were taken to
St. Louis on a specia ltrain today. Dur
ing the panic after the boat struck,
many Jumped Into the river.
