allowed to live In the good old way
which prevailed before Indian agents
and (l'iartinoiit rules were known.
The chief grievance of No Shirt Is
that the government Insists on legal
marriages, attendance of children at
school, conformity to the rules of the
Indian Department and progress In the
ways of civilization. . .
The call of the wild Is echoing deeply
lu the heart of No Shirt. Ite longs for
the free mountain nlr, the untrauimeled
liberty of the hills and the patriarchal
roaming with family, goods 'nnd war
riors, as the savage Inclination might
dictate. '
The fetters of civilization chnfe the
old chieftain. The yoke of the white
man hangs heavily upon hli neck and
he rebels at the rigid rules of Wash
ington. But despite the call of the wild In
his heart, No Shirt will be reconciled to
his lot. Ills people have some of the
rlcboKt land In the county. Ills little
handful of malcontents Is dwindling
year by year. Civilization Is making
swift and unfailing inroads Int his
savage' Influence nnd soon his ieoplo
will finally embrace, without ouo lin
gering remonstrance of savagery, the
full code of civilization, and while they
may never become complete citizens
they will be rated as an excellent type
of Indian citizenship.
The Influence of the white man will
have much to do In transforming the
old chieftain and his people. Bad white
'men prejudice the savage agalUNt civili
zation. The Indians remember the evil
Influence of one white rascal more viv
idly than, the good Influences of a dozen
good white men. Therefore the white
ninn a: responsible largely for the sali
vation nnd'iipllft of the, Indian.
Thei'allV the wild will echo In vain
In No Shirt's savage life." He Is on tffe
upward path. Ills little' remonstrances
are but the Inllex action of the savage
nature' which Is not yet fully subdued

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
"Wnat I like about Parson TurbeU'a
sermons Is that they always give you
an Idea that you can carry home with
you and use In your everyday life,"
said Mrs. Jenkins. "He's what I call
a real practical preacher."
"So do I," said Mrs. French, as the
two women walked slowly home from
church arm In arm. "Wasn't his ser
mon grand? I know Just what he
meant about hunting for one piece of
sliver you've lost, even If you have got
nine others. If my little Willy strays
off I'm all of a whew till I find" him,
for he's just as precious to me as If
he behaved like the rest o' my children
"Then how 'tis If we lose our faith
In some folks; bow we'll search and

THE I X TEK STATU FAIH,
Some Men of What Will lie Pons at
Sioux City Sept. 10 to 15.
To have some propter Idea of the
nterstate Live Btock Fair, which Is to
be held In Sioux City on Sept. 19-16,
Inclusive, one must know that no less
than llon.noo has been spent by the
fair association In putting It before
the public. The work had been done
on a large scale. Everything Is of the
best. The aim was to have the best,
and the best only. Ofthls $100,000
no less thaa f 16,000 has been so aside
suu t ,7 VpectedB thls "will draw ' to I
Sioux City the best 'horses In -the
country,
The man who own race
horses goes where there are the. big-
gent purees offered; it Is a business
with, him, and as Sioux City offers he
lara-est amount evei" offered In the
west it Is but natural the big horsemen
will go there. Then again, $24,000 has
been set aside for the premiums In the
exhibits of horses, cattle, swine, sheep,
grains, vegetables, etc. ' This will ap
peal to the farmer. 1 He knows there
are few falra which offer such large
amounts of premiums and necessari
ly he will exhibit where he haa an
opportunity of getting the biggest
money.
Last year the fair association found
that it would have to build some new
barns, and accordingly during the past
few months nine new barns have been
erected costing over $15,000. Apart
from the new barna other buildings
have been erected. The grandstand
has been put Into better shape than
ak Aa Ik natilllAn lina l rwi r nlliVl a A in
and 'on the grounds there now stands !
white city, forming as a whole the
most expensive fair grounds In the
west.
The management does not, however,
deal alone for the men. It under
stands that thousands of women and
children will be in attendance at the
fair, and In order to please them and
also give them nn opportunity of win
ning some of the prizes there is a
women's department where women's
exhibits will be displayed. This will
comprise fancy work, millinery, and
the hundred and one things In which
women excel. '
" Apart from the Industrial side of
the fair the management has this year
devoted a large part, of it, cash to the
free attractions. There .will be nine
large brass bands playing during the
day. Among them will b Buch bands
as Ueed's military band and the Hoynl
Italian band of 28 pieces. These
bands are famous and tlre'o thrrs will
be of a llke character. Though the
music Is an Important part of tho fair,
the association has arranged for a list
of other free attractions which, If put
together, would be worth more than
the price of admission. There are
the Twelve Nelsons In tholr wonderful
acrobatic feature act. People who
saw Barnum and Halley's circus will
remember this troupe, as It was the
leading acts of the big show for five
seasons. -
Another free attraction which will
draw the crowd Is the leaping of tho
volcanic gap. This Is an net which
has to be seen to be understood and
appreciated. It Is thrilling, dangerous,
daring, and a sigh of relief goes up
from the crowd when the act Is ter
minated. Martlneete and Sylvester,
the comedy acrobats who have raised
a laugh wherever they have appeared,
will also be on the list, an will also the
Buckeye Trio, three people who do
more In a few minutes than tho aver
age man can learn In a lifetime.
Among the nerve-trying, death-defying,
dangerous, dare-devil acts of the
day will be Llsette's whirl of death.
Like the leap over the volcanic, gap.
this must be seen, to bo understood.
The barker, jtfifldval compnny-not
the one which showed hero last sum
mer, but another will bo also of the
fair. It is the best carnival company
on the road, posossing 328 pt-oplo and
carrying Its paraibernulla In SO tars.
This alonejmlk'ntes Hs worth. i
' Among the nlghV'nttractlnna will be
the spectacular scenic production) en
titled "MoscowMil which ft city? will
be burnt. Nearly 600 people take part
in this production, including state
troops, mounted' Infantry, etc. The
production Is n stupendous ono and
has made a decided (uieecss wherever
it has gone. One of the features which
will drnw interest ut the Interntnte
Fair Is the cowboy relay race. This
will be run dully. The contestants
will ride five ;nlles a day and change
horses at the end of every mile In
front of the grandstand. An effort Is
being mado to get the best rider In the
Winnebago Indian agency to ride
egnlnst his white brethren, and It Is
probable that It will succeed. Th e
Indian will ride without a saddle, and
If the plans are fulfilled the race will
be the Bed ngtiliiKt the White. A race
between the old and the new.
On Wednesduy tho great Western
Brew Derby running race will be run.
the pursa for tho event being $500.
The race will be for a distance of 1
1-16 miles. On this dnte also Dan
Tatch nnd Cresceus will try to beat
their own records. Tho manogement
of the fair has paid $12,000 for this
feature alone, nnd everything that
could be done to put the track Into
shape has been done, so that good
time will be made. The purse, for the
cowboy relay race Is $f00.
There will be special train: jpervlce
during the fair week nnd one fare will
pay for the round trip on all railroads.
On account of tho tire which visited
Kloux City In 1904 many of 'the ho
tels were. not In a position to handle
the largo crowds, and as a result some
of the visitors were greatly ' incon
venienced. Hlnco then the hotels have
been rebuilt and thre Is ample :room
for all. The fair muniiKement intends
to stick to Its motto. "A glad hand to
all," and those who nre desirous of
having a good time can find It nt the
fair.

State's Attorney James J. Barlsnir In a
cablegram directing him to notify, the
nuthorltes nt Washington at once.
Within a few hours new warrants
had boon Issued for Stensland.the State
and federal governments were at work
Paring for his return to Chlcogo, and
arrangements had been begun to send
an olllcer to Tangier, It nowssary, to
bring him back. One of tho new war
rants charges Stcnsland with the lar
ceny and embezzlement of $1,003,000
from the bank of which he was presi
dent. One of the stops taken at Washington
was to cable Minister Ouminere at Tan
gier to ascertain the attitude of the
Moroccan government toward a pro
posed surrender of Stenn!aixl. The Uni
ted States has no extradition treaty
with Morocco.
Cable to Ills Hon.
Before the machinery had been set In
motion for SteiiNland's return a cable
gram, sent by him to Theodore Stens
lnnd, his son, from Gibraltar three days
before his embezzlements became
known, fell Into the hands of Inspector
Shlppy. In effect It said Stensland con
sidered himself safe, and It Instructed
Stensland Jr. that concealment no long
er was necessary.
Tungler Is across the strait from
Gibraltar, and Stensland was about to
embark for the country In which he
finally was captured when he cabled.
Inspector Shlppy declared that the ca
blegram was the only communication
received by the son from his father he
fore the crash, and that tho "letter
from St. Paul" which Theodore pre
tended conveyed to him the news of his
father's defalcations had no existence.
Meanwhile Stensland Is fighting des
perately In Tangier to retain $12,000,
probably all that remained to him of
the thousands he stole from the de
positors of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank
when he was captured. The money Is
on deposit In the Coinptolr National
tl'Eseonipte. Mr. Barbour received
word that Stennhind was resorting to
every means to retain possession of
the money, lie accordingly cabled Mr.

Difficulties Indorsed.
The Teace Congress, as It la generally
known, not only adopted resolutions In fa
vor of the limitation of armaments and tbe
arbitration of all questions relating to debts,
but unanimously Indorsed the proposition
that all questions of every nature should be
submitted to an Impartial tribunal for In
vestigation or to the mediation of friendly
nations before hostilities are commenced.
It Is not necessary to point out the Im
portance of ther position taken. The em
bodiment of the suggestion ,n treaties would
go a long way toward removing the prob
ability of war. -While the Idea la of Amer
ican origin, It was heartily accepted by the
representatives ,of England, France, Ger

Private Debts Should
Not Be Collected by Kavy.
Another subject connected wltb our for
eign relations : I venture to suggest that
we not only promote peace, but alio ad
vance our commercial Interests by announc
ing as a national policy that our navy will
3ot be used for the collection of private
ebts. While protecting tbe lives of our
citizens everywhere and guaranteeing the
personal safety of all who owe allegiance
to our flag, we should, In my judgment,
announce that persons engaged In business
and holding property In other lands for
business purposes should be subject to the
lawa of tbe countries In which tbey engage
In business enterprises.
Mark tbe distinction between the protec
tion of the lives of our citizens and the use
of the navy to guarantee a protlt on In
vestments, We do not Imprison for debt
In the United States, neither do we put
men to death because of their failure to
pay what tbey owe, and our moral prestige
aa well as our commercial Interests will be
conserved by assuring all nations that Amer
ican Investments depend for protection upon
the laws of the country to which the In
vestors go.
i liefore leaving International politics let
I me add that our nation has lost prestige
I rather than gained It by our experiment In
j colonialism. We have given the monarchist
I a chance to ridicule our Declaration of in
dependence and the scoffer has twitted 11s
I with Inconsistency. A tour through the

I return more convinced than before of
the Importance of a change ln the method
of electing United States Senators. There
Is noticeable everywhere a distinct move

China a constitution Is under consideration
In Japan the people ure demanding that

the Kinperor from among his particular

just anotner word In regard to the labor

with equity. The producer has enormously

On the Money Quentlon
Thus for. I have dwelt upon aublects
which may not be regarded as strictly par
tisan ; but I am sure that you will pardon
me lr ln tins presence 1 uetray my inter
est In those policies for which the Demo
erotic party stands. 1 have not hud an
opportunity to make a Democratic speech
for almost a year, and no one not even
political enemy could Ue so cruel as to
forbid me to speak of those policies on this
occasion.
Our onDoncnts have derived not only par
tisan pleasure, but also partisan advantage
from the division caused in our party ny
the money Question. They ought not, there
fore, begrudge us the satisfaction that we
nnd in the fact tnat unexpected conditions
have removed the cause of our differences
and permitted us to present a united front
on nresent Issues.

ume of money, for which they contended.
We who favor bimetallism are satisfied with

are satisfied wltn tneirs, ana we ran invite
thein to a contest of xeal and endurance in
the effort to restore to the people the rights
which have been gradually taken from them

Campaign Contributions
from Trust Are Scored
The Investigations which have lwen In
progress during the past year have disclosed
the business methods of those who a few
years ago resented any Inspection of their
schemes and hid their rascality under high
sounding phrases. These Investigations have
also disclosed the source or tne enormous
campaign funds which have been used to
debauch elections and corrupt the ballot.
The people see now wbut they should
have seen before, namely, mat no party
can exterminate the trusts so long as It
owes Its political success to campaign con
trlbutlons secured from the trusts. The
great corporations do not contribute their
money to any party except for Immunity
expressly promised or clearly implied.
No Important advance can 1m made un
til this baneful Influence Is ellmlnuted, and
I bone that the Democratic party will not
only challenge the Republican party to bring
turwara enective legislation on 1111s sun
Ject, but will set an example by refusing to
receive campaign contributions rroin cor
poratlons.
Contributions Bhould lie Individual, nut
corporate, and no party can afford to re-
reive contributions even from Individual
when the acceptuuee of these contributions
secretly pledges the party to a course which
It cannot openly avow.
Iu other words, politics should be honest
and I niistuke political conditions in Amer
lea if they do not presage Improvement lu
the conduct of campaigns.
While men may dltt-er as to the relatlv
Importance of issues, and while the nex
Congress will largely shape the lines upon
which the coming Presidential campaign

that at present the paramount Issue ln th

the trust issue.

Tariff Closely Allied
Wltb the Trust Question
The tariff auestlon Is very closely allied
to the trust question, and the reduction of
the tariff furnishes an easy means of lim
iting the extortion wblcb tbe trusts prac- '
ti
While absolute free trade would neces
sarily make a trust Impossible, still it la k
probable that very few manufacturing es- f
tabllshments would dare to enter Into a
trust If the President was empowered to-
put upon the free list articles competing
with those controlled by a trust.
Tariff Fosters Idea of
Voting; for Selfish Reasons.
But one of the worst features of a tar
iff levied not for revenue but for the avowed
purpose of protection Is that It fosters tbe
dea that men should use their votes to
advance their own financial Interests. The
manufacturer haa been assured that It Is
legitimate for him to vote for Congress
men who, whatever their opinions on other
subjects, will legislate larger dividends into
bis pocket ; gneepgrowers have been en
couraged to believe that they should have
no higher aim In voting than to raise the
price of wool ; and laboring men nave been
urged to make their wages their only con
cern. For a generation the FAT has lsen fried
out of the manufacturers by the Republican
Campaign Committee and then the manu
facturers have been reimbursed by legisla
tion. With the public conscience educated to be
lieve that this open purchase of legislation
waa entirely proper, no wonder that Insur
ance companies have used tne money of
their policy holders to carry elections no
nuilUCI luui num. . I , u un.-.. .711.ru iw .n-
chase Immunity from punishment with lib

There never was a time when the tariff
reform could be more easily entered upon
for the manufacturers ty selling abroad
cheaper than at home, as many of them
do. have not only nhown their Ingratitude
toward those who built the tariff wall for
them, but they have demonstrated their
ability to sell ln competition with the
world. The high tariff has long been a
burden to tbe consumers In the t'nltvd
States and it Is growing more and mor" a
menace to our foreign commerc; because It
arouses resentment and provokes retalia
tions.
The railroad question Is also lnterwovR
with the trust question. Nearly all trie
private monopolies have received rebates or
secured other advontnges over competitors.
Absolute equality of treatment at the hands
of the railroads would go far toward cv'.
pllng the trusts, and I rejoice that the
President has the courage to press tins
question upon Congress. While the law, aa
It was finally distorted by tne senate, is
not all that could be wished, It deserves a
fair tidal.
Public Ownership of
Railways Is Xecensary.
Kxt.erletice has demonstrated that munici
pal corruption Is largely traceable to the
fact that franchise corporations desire to
control the City Council and thus increase
their dividends. If the railroad managers
adopt tho same policy the sentiment In fa
vor of the ownership of the railroads by
the government Is likely to increase as rap
Idiy throughout the country as the senti
ment In favor of municipal ownership has
Increased In the cities.
I have already reached the conclusion
that railroads partake so much of the na
ture of a monopoly that they must ulti
mately become public property nnd be man
aged by public officials In the Interest of
whole community. In accordance wltn
the well-defined theory that public ownership-
Is necessary where competition Is Im
possible. Relieving, however, that the operation
of all railroads by the federal government
would result ln a centralization wnicn
would all but obliterate state lines, I pre
fer to see only the trunk lines operated
by the federal government and the local
lines by the Beveral state governments.
Some have opposed this dual ownersnity
as lmpractable, but Investigation ln Europe
has convinced me that it Is entirely prac
ticable.
As to the rlchts of governments, federal
and state, to own and operate railroads'
there can be no doubt. If we can aeepen
he water In the lakes and build connecting
canals In order to cheapen railroad trans
portation during half of the year we can
build a railroad and cheapen rates the
whole year ; If we can spend several hundred
millions on the Panama canal to iowr
trans-continental rates we can build a r:
road from New York to San Francisco to
lower both trans-continental and local rates.
Hullway Magnates Fear
Foree of Public Sentiment.
If any of you question the propriety of
mentioning this subject I beg to remind you
that the President could not have secured
the passage of the rate bill bad he not ap
pealed to the fear of the more radical rem-
aHv nf irnv.rnmnnl ntvnorahln ami nothing
-'j r- " ' 1 ' " "
will so restrain the railroad magnates from
attempting to capture the Interstate com
merce commission as the same fear.
Tbe high-handed manner ln which tbey
nave vioiatea law ana ignored autnorn.v,
together with the corruption discovered In
high places, ajias done more to create senti
ment In favor of public ownership than all
the speeches and arguments of the oppo
nents of private ownership.
Just one word more ln regard to the
trusts. Home defend them on the ground
that they are an economic development and
that they cannot be prevented without great
Injury to our Industrial system.
The Democratic party, If I understand Ita
position, denies the economic as well as the
political advantage of private monopoly and
promises to oppose It wherever It manifests
itself. It offers as an alternative compe
tition wherever competition is possible and
public monopoly wherever circumstances are
such as to prevent competition.
Socialism presents a consistent theory,,
but a theory which, ln my Judgment, does
not take human nature Into account. Its
strength Is tn Its attack upon evils the ex
istence of which Is confessed, its weak
ness Is that it would substitute a new dis
ease If not a worse oue for the disease
from which we suffer.
The Democratic party Is not the enemy
of property or of property rlt;nta : It Is,
on the contrary, the best defender of both,
because It defends human lights, and hu
man rights are the only foundation upon
which property and property rights can resi
secure. 7
The Democratic party does not mena.
a single dollar legitimately accumulated;
on the contrary, It Insists upon the protec
tion of rich and poor alike In the enjoy
ment of that which they have honestly
earned. The Democratic party does not dis
courage thrift, but, on the contrary, stimu
lates each Individual to the highest en
deavor by assuring him that lie will not
be deprived of the fruits of his toll.

enable men to reap where they have not
