OOSEVELT STUDVIN6 BLACKHAND FORMER PRESIDENT INVESTI. GATES CONDITIONS OF WORK ING CLASS IN MINING DIS TRIOTS OF PENNSYLVANIA NOT A SPECTACULAR TRIP DINED BV PRIESTHOOD. (UNITED PBESS U1HD WtM.l Wllkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 3. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt today Investigat ed the social and living conditions of the foreign population In the coal mining districts of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He particularly looked Into the con ditions under which tho Italian min ers wero working, and asked count less questions concerning the black hand and other organizations of "un desirable citizens." , In most cases Italians whom he questioned refused to give him information,- fearing reprisals by agents of tho societies. The contributing editor of the Outlook appeared greatly Interested In tho history of murders that have occurred at the settlement at Pitts ton. Roosevelt and Lawrence Abbott ar rived here at midnight and slept at tho homo of the Rev. Father Curran. Accompanied by John Mitchell and Father Curran they journeyed today in an automobile to Plttston, where the colonel pursued his Inquiries. Tho party" toured tho valley, visit ing tho mine breakers, miners' homes and factories. They stopped at the villages of Nantlcoke, Kingston and Plymouth. When asked if ho Intended don- nlng overalls and entering the mines, Roosevelt said: "No, this Is not a spectacular trip. I ,havo no deslro to descend in the mine cages; that Is no novelty for me. I have made this trip to obtain first-hand knowledge of the living and social conditions, pf the miners. I do not intend studying the Inside workings of a mine. The hu man sldo appeals more strongly to me." i While at Plttston the colonel out lined plans for a visit to the settle ments of Hungarians and Slav min ers. ,Ho paid a tribute to Mitchell and to Father Curran In a brief speech. At noon the Roosevelt party dined with Father Curran -and 40 priests, who wero guests.

S. SENATOR BOURNE'S "FIRST SPEECH" AND ITS POPULARITY j Story of the Great Demand for Address on "Restoring the Government to the People," an Exposition of Oregon Plan of State Government. Brlstow laughed. Ho For It came about in STEVENS IS SLATED FOR PRESIDENT REPORTED THAT HEAD OF OTH ER HILL LINES IN OREGON WILL BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH BANK ROAD ALSO. wasnington, v. u. "When are you going home?" asked Senator Brlstow of Kansas of Senator Bournoi of Oregon. Tho Oregon man mopped his brow and sighed. "I can't go until I dig out of this," he said. "Let mo show you." Ho led tho way to his commltteo room, where, piled In a corner, were some so mo thousands of letters. Thrco clerks were sorting them and addressing envelopes. "What's It all about?" asked Mr. Brlstow. "That speech I knew I couldn't make," said Mr. Bourne, almost helplessly. Then Mr. remembered. this way. Mr. Bourno had been a senator for about three years, and had nover made a speech. He was tho silent senator, and popular In proportion to his sllcnco. But ono day he got the Idea that he ought to make a speech. He conferred with frlend3, who told him to sail In. ' And so ho prepared a speech. It was on "Restoring tho Government to tho People." Specifically, it told how tho people make tho laws In Oregon; tho direct primary, tho In itiative, the referendum, tho recall. When tho speech had boen prepared Mr. Bourno lost his courage-and read It to tho Senate. And ho lsn t much of a reader, either. Then tho trouble began. The speech though read and not de claimed, broke . Into papers. Mr. Bourne hadn't realized that It was a great effort, but other folks had. Just enough of It was printed to wnet the popular appetite for more. People all over the country sat down and wrote letters to Mr. Bourno to ask for copies. Mr. Bourne had 20,000 copies printed and they lasted only a fow hours. Then he ordered 100,000 copies, with firm determination to swamp tho country. Tho result was amusing. Folks began to wrlto lot tors, somewhat after this fashion: "Dear Senator Wo have read about your great speech. Wo know that senators havo to pay for tho printing of their speeches, and so wo lncloso 1 2" (sometimes It was 1, sometlmos 10 cents In stamps, some times other sums), "and ask you to send as many copies as this will pay for. Wo Intend to circulate whero they will do the most good." Now, Senator Bourno didn't mind sending back the money tho first few times. But when It got to coming at tho rato of from $50 to $150 a day, with anything from a postage stamp to $10 Inclosed, ho didn't know what to do, or how to do it. Still having the belief that ho couldn't make a speech, and that it was soma sort of practical Joko played on him by some of his sena torial associates, ho began to study how best ho might uncover the Jok ers. But the letters continued to come, the money being returned in each case and copies of tho speech being sent as requested. Tho speech was mado about a month ago. To dato tho copies sent out In rcsponso to requests number a little moro than 800,000. And thero is no appreciable lot up In the demand. "Don't you see why I cannot go homo?" asked Mr. Bourno. "I am going to see that overybo'dy asking for the speech gets a ..copy of It. Not that I think It Is a groat speech, but becauso I believe tho Oregon plan only needs to be understood to bo adopted by overy one of tho states. I can explain the demand for It on no other basis. We havo found out how to do It In Oregon, and If you believo tho rest of tho country Isn t Interested,'' grab a handful of thoso letters at random and look -them over." Attho present rato of outgo tho Bourne's speech-will reach a circula tion of 2,00U,000 before tho end of the present campaign.
