Kltchln of Horth Carolina Makes in
temperate Charges la House.
WASHINGTON. April 22. Lata today
President Roosevelt waa assailed bitterly
by Claude Kltchln of North Carolina,
who Included In his castlgatton General
Grosvenor. Mr. Kltchln likened President
Roosevelt to Mr. McKlnley and in
this connection said It waa a ca so of the
ant hill taking the place of the mountain,
the owl's screech taking the place of the
tomb's symphonies, and the minnow taking
the place of the whale. He declared that
the president has Insulted the people of
the south by saying In one of his publica
tions that throughout southern character
there ran a streak of brutal barbarism.
Ha openly charged the president of be
ing the advocate of lynch law, and quoted
from one of the president's books to sus
tain his assertion. In his opinion, the
president, he said, who while governor of
New York, had styled the members of
congress as a herd of cattle, was unfit to
hold office and was a dangerous man.
General Qrosvenor admitted that four
years ago he opposed the nomination of
Mr. Roosevelt for vice president, but said
Mr. Roosevelt during the campaign had
conducted himself in a dignified manner
and had won tha confidence and esteem of
tha people by his i acta from the time ha
; was elected to prealde over the senate,
! and that he reached the supreme heights
when he had declared at Buffalo that ha
would carry out the polfclea of McKlnley.
Since then the president hnd grown to be
one of the great men of the country.
Tha president, he said, was more- dan
gerous to the demoeratio party than any
other man today. The democrats in New
York, he said, had launched a candidate
for president who did not know whether
he stood on hla head or hla heels.
Throughout the laat four yeara Roose
velt had developed, and his utterances had
been patriotic and sound. He challenged
the democrats to name a aingle Instance
where President Roosevelt had dictated to
congress, adding:
"1 have never known a publlo man, hold
ing a high position, who waa more amen
able to public sentiment than Theodora
Roosevelt. Aa between Roosevelt and Mc
Klnley there has been less determined pur
pose to carry out hla own views by Roose
velt than by McKlnley."
General Grosvenor said that no man on
the stump ever made a better Impression
on the country than did Mr. Roosevelt in
the campaign of 1900. Hla dignified manner
of presiding over the senate and his mod
esty with senators waa commendable. Then
came the crisis of his life, the death of
Mr. McKlnley. "And then It was," said
Mr. Grosvenor, "that tha crocodile tears
of the democrats began to flow." Tha
atatement of Roosevelt at the bier of Mc
Klnley 'hat he would carry out the policy
of McKlnley aaved untold money losses In
this country. "I stand here today a friend
of McKlnley, and I aay that there la not
one of McKlnley'a friends willing to say
that they have not alwaya been treated
with kindness and consideration by Theo
dore Roosevelt."
Preceding this episode tha house debated
the bill to create a commission to Investi
gate the merchant marine, but took no
action on It.
Mr. Burke (8 D.), from tha committee
on Indian affairs, reported a substitute re
port of the committee on the Inquiry of
Mr, I.lnd (Minn.), regarding alleged Illegal
acta of certain members of tba Dawes
commission and of certain federal officers
in Indian territory in connection with land
deals.
The substitute provides simply that the
secretary of the Interior shall advise the
house, If not incompatible with public in
terest, what action has been taken upon
the report of Charles J. Bonaparte and
Charles R. Woodruff, a special commission,
who Investigated the condition of affairs in
the Indian Territory.
The substitute was agreed to on a rising
vote, VJ to 91.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22. (Special
Telegram.) The following address was de
livered on Arbor day on tha occasion of
placing a bronie tablet In memory of the
lata J. Sterling Morton in the great red
wood grove near Santa Crux, Cal., by W.
W. Cox., chairman of the committee:
To Hla Excellency. Governor Pardee.
and Hon. D. C. Clark, Mayor of Sunta
Cms, Cal., and All the Good People of tha
Golden (State, the People of Nebraska Sena
Greeting:
In the name and by the authority of the
State Historical society of Nebraska, It be
come our pleasant duty to prevent to you
thla beaut It ul bronie tablet la memory 01
our greatest cltlsen, that has finished hie
work and gone to his reward, on this, the
Lid anniversary of his birth, and on the
thirty-second anniversary of Arbor day, aa
established by the legislature of our young
commonwealth.
May 1 tell vou in brief of tha Ufa work
Of Julius Sterling Morton?
He accomplished two prnlarworthy feats
in tha state of Michigan before his removal
to Nenraeka.
He graduated In the state university at
Ann Arbor, then married MIbs Joy ana
with hla noble bride cams straightway to
me new territory or iseorasKu in IBM,
where he at once commenced helrjlmz to
lay deep and broad foundations for our
great commonwealth.
He was among the very first to. out In
motion that enalne of maclo Dower, the
printing press, editing the Nebraska City
News, commencing In the Bprlng of 1S66.
The paper was first published In the old
government block house.
He was one anions the first to till cur
Virgin soil. He located at what the world
now knows at Arbor lxnige. near Nebraska
City, and there began in a business way to
make a home. He and his good wife began
planting trees and it would do your soul
tood, ladles and gentlemen, to see Arbor
,odge today, with lis wealth of shade tnd
fruit.
Performs Doty Well.
Mr. Morton was called by President
Buchanan to other duties. He became sec
retary of the Infant territory and was act
ing governor twice during his administra
tion. Ha performed well whatever lils
hands found to do. but his political creed
waa not In accord with the majority ot
our atate, and for long years it recame his
Pleasant duty to lead our people to
higher plane In agriculture. He became a
model farmer, but his principal delight
and highest ambition was to clothe cur
boundless prairies with groves of timber.
He saw with his keen eye the wanton
waste of our forests in tha "tutes where
nature had blessed the people with forests.
His great aoul was all on lire on this very
important subject.
it was nis study Dy aay ana Dy nigra.
His great efforts and the Inspiration of his
life caused such an awakening that con
gress took the matter In hand and passed
tna timber culture act and the forest re
serve acts, and the Nebraska legislature
waa induced to name Arbor day as a holi
day, and also encourage the planting of
trees by relieving certain lands from tax
ation where tlmler was planted and cul
tivated. Nebraska taking the lead In es
tablishing rbor day ub a legal holiday,
nearly all our states have followed as well
as many nations of the world. When Ne
braska became a state in ISM It was a
boundless prairie, with scarcely a tree or
shrub in' sight, except along a few of the
streams. Now it is dotted all over with
beautiful groves of timber, aggregating
thousands of millions of trees. The great
middle west Is now beautiful with hun
dreds of thousands of groves that are a
Joy to all beholders, giving shelter from
the chilling winter winds and. a cooling
shade . In summer, and adding a great
wealth of fuel and useful timber for a
thousand uses.
One of the sages wrote the axiom: "The
man who causes two blades of grass to
grow where only one grew before," Is a
benefactor. Then how much more la our
hero a benefactor, thnt luis led the way In
planting countless millions of the grandest
planta upon the earth. -
... Tablet to His Memory.
In recognition of his great service to the
country and to mankind. President Cleve
land called him to n place in his cabinet,
and he became In 1892 the first secretary
of agriculture, in organizing the Depart
ment of Agriculture he displayed such bus
iness ability mat he waa soon recognized 1
as the master mind of the administration !
Now, my fellow citizens of our great re-
public. Is It not most lUl'ng that tills noble
character should have his name carried to
future generations as an Inspiration! And
now we ask the good and wise people of
California to accept this tablet and place
it upon the trunk of this giant of the
forest, he loved so well. Grand tree, that
has stood for so many centuries, 'till thou
hast with thy roots penetrated deeply in
the soil of California, and upon thy great
aymmetrlcal trunk, lifted thy ever-green
sombrero high' up toward the sky, where
It has kissed the breezes of the great
ocean for thousands of years. Now thou
hast another duty to perform. Thou may
est carry upon thy body this memorial of
thy greatest friend, as an inspiration to
all people, and countless generations yet
unborn. May thy majestic form stand
through the coming centuries, the delight
of all beholders bearing tills precious me
morial In everlasting bronze, and may the
children to the remotest generation gain a
new and better inspiration an thev gaze
upon the ponderous form In air your
grandeur, bearing the name of one that
has accomplished bo much for humanity.
With the kindest regards of all true Ne
braskans to the people of your great and
growing commonwealth, we havo the honor
of being your obedient servant.
