An Object Lesson on Militarism Given

Ht ADDRESSES A LARGE CROWD
Republican Candidate for Vice-President
Greeted With 'Enthusiasm V
Tlie Nation' Tyrants.
DETROIT. Mich.. Sept. fi.-The first
n eetitig of Coventor Roosevelt's West
iru lour, which was held in the big as
sembly rMia of the I etroit : Light
Guard armory tonight, was all that
the Jovei nor's most ardent partisans
could have desired hi point of attend
ailee and enthusiasm. ;
When Governor Roosevelt arose ti
s'peak,; the great crowd arose aluiont
en masse and remained standing and
shoutiug for some time. The tbivern
or's spee h occupied alxtut an hour in
its delivery, and was listened to
through ut with thoughtful attention.
Governor Roosevelt gave the audience
au object lesson, when he asserted
that oar soldiers in tlie Philippines had
less to fear from any Isidy of armed
-bandits In that, country, than they had
to fear from the principles of the Kan
wis City platform and the success of
the Democratic ticket. He said five
members of the regular army were
present, and asked them to stand tip
that the audience might see- their
t rants. Fi soldiers -from the Four
tenth infantry at Fort Wayne, who
occupied front seats, when thus in
vited; arose and were applauded.
"Xiiw." exclaimed Goveri-or Roose
yi It, "behold your tyrants."
The at:dieii".- shouted with lancrhter.
'They are here." continued tlie (!ov
enior, "live soldiers to 4X jicoplc in
tliis audience. ' which is a larger per
centage of tyranny in this house than
tlie jMTcetitage the regular army bears
to the whole number of people-in this
country."

Tlie dead !ody. found at Wheatland,
In Ihe Willamette river, on Tnestlay
evening, and on which Coroner D. V.
Ijine held an Inquest' on Wednesday,
a reported iu the Statesman yesterday
morning, was yesterday buried by Un
dertakers ClonghJSe Rlgdon. , It now
transpires that the mau was not Frank
Morton, of Damascus, Oregon, but
Theodore l'illester,, a young man 'who
also resided at Jainajieus, and who
started to Salem on the teamer lEu-

the dead man buried here. It was jriv

There Is little doubt, however, that
tJermany' rejdy'.is tlie outcome of a
discussion carried on during the last
few. days IhMwihhi the Eurojeau I'abl
nets, and that a coinprituiksef ixilicy of
maintaining the iM-t-upation of the iap
ital, but withdrawing the greater part
of tlie troops to Tien -Tsiij. will be
found to have iner with general con
currence. From Shanghai it Is" mnioriNl that
Japan has notified the Powers of her
willingness to wit Infra w liter troops,
provided au adequate guanljts left for

that China formally, requests the evac

believed to lie improving. 1 1 1 is tliought
that the announcement -'of the names
