dropping ths Ingredients Into the pot while
he stirred It. These words he said:
Cackling gooee's fair white wing. ,
' Groundhog's toe and hornet's sting,
Iaf of oak and cone of pine,
Btlnkweed from a copper mine,
liarin and thunder, rain and thunder.
Very heavens burst aaunder.
Colonel Welsh had been seated during this
incantation In a chair, dejectedly thinking
over the Insult which he had felt when
the king had unwittingly mentioned the
hated name of Hicks. As the old man fin
ished the incantation a bjack cat sneezed.
Ths, weather forecaster, leaped to his feet
with a joyous exclamation.
And the Cat Sneeses.
"My vengeance Is complete," he cried.
"Ths cat sneeses. It will surely rain. Now,
King Ak-Sar-Ben XIII., thou shalt see
what power I possess. Thou shalt learn
to make no sport ot an honest weather
yeoman when he speaks of areas of high
pressure, of low barometers, ot frosts, of
drouths and of the other things which ap
pertain to his art. And more, thou shalt
learn to Hicks . me no Hickses. Huzsah,
huszah," he continued as the rain began to
fall. '
He was roused from this ecstasy by a
hand laid on his arm, a hand that gripped
like the talon of a great bird. He looked
around -to see the old necromancer there.
His gnarled and seamed parchment face
was distorted with rage aa he -looked on the
weather man.
"AVretched deceiver," he snarled. "What
hast thou brought me to do? I have woven
my enchantment and brought the rain in
this. week of the festival of tlfte king, his
most gracious majesty, King Ak-Sar-Ben
the .Good. I would not have done this
night's work for all the wealth of Omaha,
had I known It."
Il-e-m-o-r--e.
Thus the old man deBerted the weather
forecaster In anger and left htm alone In
the ' room with only the beating rain to
sooth him. Then the pangs of remorse de
scended upon Colonel Welsh. He flung
himself into a chair and buried his face in
his hands.
Meantime in the palace of his most gra
cious majesty, Ak-Sar-Ben XIII, there was
consternation. The rain was heavier than
ever 1 and the Jclng summoned Samson Into-
his presence. , , ,
"How how, my good 'Samson." he said,
"did we not let the varlet weather prophet
go free but y ester morn on promise that he
should give us pleasant weather. He hath
played us a tawdry trick. What say ou,
Samson, shall he to the dungeons?
Samson smiled and toyed a moment with-
the handle of his sword. "Your majesty
may have noticed how he quailed at men
tion of the name, of Hicks which was
spoken In your royal presence," he said.
"This same Hicks Is a member of th order
of Long ,L)lstance Weather .Prophets, nl
toward these the order of Weather Fore
casters of ths Cnlted Stages possesses the
deepest '; hatred and '. mot, profound- con
tempt. Perchance, then the yeoman Welsh
was not wlthjout provocation tor the ven
geance which he hath taken." ,'
The countenance 'f the, king, which' had
been stern, broke after a moment Into a
smile. Then he slapped his hand up'on his
thigh and laughed atomt v ' f
"By mine, halidom, this fellow.: plcaseth
us." he exclaimed.. "Perchance' we wen?
hard upon him and It Is not, always the
good fortune of Jnonarchs to appreciate
the fellings of ' their subjects. : Bring the
good fellow Into our presence,- Andvslay "
h added, as Samson- hastened to dlspalcii
six halberdiers for the weather man, 'toll
him to fear nothing for he hath not our
displeasure. We remember well hbw lie
rent rain In season, during aH the months
when the crops throughout our domain
were growing. We forget- not these, good
deeds to" weigh ' In the balance with the
evil which seemingly he hath worked
now." ....
When the colonel, who, It will be remem
bered, was left In the deaths of despair,
was brought Into the roysl presence ho
was ready to cast himself at his sovereign s
feet. But the good king bade him arise
and embraced him and then and there re
ceived him back thtd the royal favor.

PLEA. FOR -JUSTICE
(Continded rom Flr,9t,TaRc-.)
i
by men who ortllnSrlly ' heriave as dent
cttlaens. One; newspaper which, has Itself
strongly advocated this vjew gave proml
tieiire to the Matemenfm a rertalrt fimn
of great wrsMh to lie effeft flint the "o
ralled linaneial waknoee- ."was due en
tirely to the admitted Intention of Presi
dent Roosevelt to punish the largp moneyed
interests whleh Imrt Iransareesod the laws."
1 lo not admit that .this Iimh Ijn the main
taus of any business troubles we have
nadt but It is' possible that it lias been a
rontrlbtitory cause. If so, friends, ns far
ss I am concerned It must be accepted as
a ilisagrepahle but unavoidable feature in a
course of policy which ns tnng as I am
president will not bo changed. In any
great movement for righteousness, where
he forces of evil are strongly Intrenched.
It Is unfortunately 1nvltabl "hot some un
offending people should " company
with tlie real orren.-r. Tnifl is noi our
fault. It Is the fault .if those to whose
deceptive action these- Innocent people owe
their false position. A year of two ago
certain representatives of labor called upon
me and in the course of a very plensmit
conversation told me that they regarded
me as "the friend of labor." I nnswered
that I certainly was, and that I would do
everything in my power for the laboring
man except anything that was wrong. 1
have the same answer to make to the
business man. I will do everything I can
do to help business conditions, except any
thing that Is wrong. And It would b not
merelv wrong, but Infanioua to fall to do
all that can be done to secure the punish
ment of those wrongdoers whose deeds are
peculiarly reprehensible because they are
not committed under the stress of . want.
Plea of Business Interests.
effort Is made to cut
out what Is evil In our political life, whether
the effort takes - the snape 01 warriiiH,
against the gross and sordid forms of evil
in some muntripelity. , or. whether it takes
the Bhape of trying to secure the honest
enforcement ot the law as aKfUnst very
powerful and wealthy people, mere are
surein bo certain lndividunls who demnnd
that the movement stop because it may
hurt business. In each cuse the answer
must be that we cr.vnestly hope and believe
that theto -will be no permanent damage
to business from the movement, but that
if righteousness -.conflicts with the fancied
needs of business, than the hitler must Ro
to the wall. We can not afford to sub
stitute any other test. for. that of aulll, fir
Innocence, or wrongdoing or.. welldoing. In
Judging any man. If a-man does well, ir
he acts honestlv, he has nothing, to fear
from this administration. Hut so far as
in me Ilea the corrupt, politician, great or
small, the private citizen who transgresses
the law--be he "rich or poor-shall - be
brought before. .the impartial justice of a
court. Perhaps 1 am most anxious to get
at. the politician who le corrupt. because
he betravs a great trust; but. assuredly 1
shall not spare his brother corruptionist
who shows himself a swindler In business
life, and, -nccordlng to our power, crimes
of fraud and tunning shall be prosecuted
as relentlessly as crimes of brutality and
physical violence. ' ' , . ' '
We need good laws and we need above all
things the hearty aid of good citizens in
enforcing the laws. Nevertheless, men and
women of this great state, nlen and women
of the middle west, never forget that law
and the administration of law. Important
though they are, must always occupy a
wholly secondary place as compared with
the character of the average 'citizen him
self. On this trip I shall speak to audi
ences In each of which there will be many
men who fought In the civil war. You
who wore the blue and your brothers of the
south who wore the gray know that in war
no general, no .matter how good, no or
ganization, no matter how perfect, can avail
if the average man In the-ranks has not
got the lighting edge. We need the or
ganization, the preparation; we need tlie
good general,, but we need most the fight
ing edge In the Indlvldvtel soldier. So It Is
In private life. We live in a rough, work
aday world, and we are yet a long way from
the millennium. We can not as a nation
and we can not as Individuals afford to cul- r""' .JV VL r:w n. inw,.
tivnto nni the eentlpr softer ouallties Plains and the KocKy mountains. I nfor
ThSre muHt be gentleness and tenderness- tunately, I am not able on this present trip
inJr MAitMto visit those lates, or 1 should speak to
but there must also be courage and
strength. I have a hearty sympathy with
those who believe In doing -ell that can be
done for peace; but I have fto sympathy at
all with those who believe that In the world
as It now Is we can afford to see the av
erage American citizen lose the, qualities
that In their sum make up a good fighting
man. ' You men must be workers who work
with all your heart and strength and mind
at your several tasks In life, and you must
also be able to fight at need. You women
hava even higher and more difficult duties;
for' I honor ho man, not even the soldier
who fights for righteousness, quite ss much
as I honon the good wonHan' wTioritoes her
full duty as wife and mother. But If slvs
shirks her duty as wife and mother then
she stands on a par with the man Who re
fuses to work for himself and Ids family,
for those dependent upon him, and Who In
time of the nation's need refuses to fight.
The man or woman who shirks his or her
duty occupies a contemptible position. You
her are the sons and daughters of the pio
neers. I. preach to yon no' life of ' ease, J
preach' to you the life tt effort, the life thnt
finds Its highest satlefaetion-m doing well
some work that is well worth doing.'

At presont the ordinary farmer holds

ican farmer otf. tockr gets his remunera
tion In part In Uwv sliane ,of an Indepen
dent home for .bis family, and this gives
him an advantage river an absentee land
lord. Now -from the standpoint of the
nation as a whole it Is pre-eminently de.
sirable to keep as one of our chief American-
types -the' farmer, the farm heme
maker, of the mcdlum'siied farm. -This
type, of farm, .home Is one of our strongest
political and . social bulwarks. Such a
farm worked hy thf ' owner has proved
by experience the best place In which to
breed vigorous, lenders alike for country
and city. It Is a matter of prime economic
and civic Importance to encourage this
type of home-owning' farmer. .
Kdncntinn ot thm Farmer.
Therefore, wo Should strive In every way
to aid in the education of the farmer for
the farm, and should shape our school
system with this end ' In ' view; and so
vlfany Important Is hls that, in my opin
ion, the federal government should co-upe-rate.
with the state governments to
secure the needed .change and Improvement-
in our schools. It In significant that
both from Minnesota and Georgia there
have come .proposals in this direction in
the appearance of hills introduced into the
national congress. The congressional' land
grant act of VHS2 accomplished much In
establishing the ' agricultural ' colleges In
the several states, and therefore In pre
paring to turntlre system of educational
training for, tlie young Inti channels at
once broader ' and more practicable at. d
what I am saying about agricultural train
ing really applies to all industrial train
ing. But the colleges cannot reach the
masses, the Industrial collegiate courses,
which must be closed, and if neoessary
the nation mut help, the slate tu cloau It.
Too, often our present schools tend to put
altogether too great a premium upon mere
literary education, aiid therefore to train
away from the farm and. the shop.
We should revtrse. ttns process. Specific
training of a practical Kind should be given
to the boys ahd girls who when men and
women are tirlYiako up the backbone of thl3
nation by working hi, agriculture, In tlie
mechanical Industries, In arta and trades;
in short, who are to do the dnty that
should always Cdtrre Brst with all of us, the
duty of homemakltig ami hotuekeeplng. To)
narrow a literary education is, for most
men and women, not aj'eal education at all.
for a real education aTiould fit people pri
marily for the industrial and home-making
employments. In which they , must employ
the bulk of their activities. Our country
offers unparalleled opportunities for domes
tic and social advancement, for social and
economic leadership in the world. Our
greatest natjxmal asset la ,to be found in
the children. They need to be trained to
high" Ideals of every-day living and to high
eillctency in their respective vocations; we
caruiot afford to have them trained other
wise, and the nation should help the states i
to achieve this eild.
Now, men. of Iowa I want to say a word
on a matter that concerns not the states
of the Mississippi valley lteelf, but the
their own people on the point to which I
now intend to tdlude; hut. after all, any
thing that atTeeta a -considerable number of

and thereby worked evil to the country.
But In many cases, whether they were large
men or rmall men. their object was not to
keep out actual . ettleis. but to protect
themselves and their own Industry by pre
venting overgrazing of the range on the
part of reckluas stunk owners who had no
place in the permanent development of the
country and who were Indifferent to every
thing fcXceiit thB nrnflln
permit the continuance -or this illegal feni-I
uig inevitably tended to vcrv . r. u, .hii... t
and the government has therefore forced I
j .h? fnrers o lake down their fences. In
uomg . rim -we nave not only obeyed and
enforced the iuw,. but we have corrected
many flagrant abuses. Nevertheless, wu
i.uve aiso caused hardship, which, though
unavoidable. I was exceedingly Unw illing
to caurie. In some way or other t& mini I
I provide for the use of the public range un- '
ui-r i-uiiiii nous which snail insure primarm
I to the benefits of the actual settlers on or
neur It, , and which shall prevent its be
! Ing wasted. This means that In some shape
! or way the fencing of patdure land must
De permitted under restrictions which will
safeguard the rights of the actual settlers.
I desire to act as these actual settlers wish
to have me in this matter. I wish to find
out their needs and deaires and then to
try to put them Into ettect. But they muxt
take trouble. tuuit look ahead to their own
ultimate real good, must insist upon being
really represented by their public men. if
we are to have a good result. A little
while ago I received a very manly and sen
sible letter from one of tne prominent
members of the Larlnile County (Wy.)
Cattle and Horse Growers' association. My
correspondent remarked Incidentally In his
letter, "I am a small ranchman, and have
to plow and pitch liny myself," and then
went on to say that the great majority of
their people -bad compiled with the gov
ernment s order, had removed their fences
and sold their rattle, but that they must
get some kind of a lease law which would
ww"-r no nsi. no imm . i . . . -.
permit them to graze their stock under
proper conditions or else It .would be ruin
ous t. them to continue In the business.
The thing I hsve most st besrt ss regards
the subject is to do whatever will be ot
permanent benefit to Just exactly the peo
ple for whom this correspondent of mine
spoke the small -ranchmen who have to
plow and pitch hav themselves, All I want
to do Is to find out what Will be to their
real benefit, for that Is certain to be to the
benefit of the. country aa a whole. It may
be that wo can secure their Interests best
by permitting all homesteaders In the dry
country to inclose, individually or a certain
number of them together, big tracts ot
range for summer use, the tracts being
proportioned to the number of neighboring
homesteaders who wish to run their cattle
uixin it. It may be that Parts of the range
will only be valuable for companies thnt
can lease It and put large herds upon It; :
for the way properly to develop a region !
Is to put It to those uses to which It la
best adapted. The amount to be paid for
the leasing privilege is to me a matter of
comparative Indifference. The government
does not wish to make money out of ths
range, but simply to provide for the neces
sary supervision that will prevent Its being
eaten out and exhausted; that Is, that will
secure It undamaged ns an asset for the
next generation, for the children of the
present home makers. Of enures we must
also provide enough to pay the proper share
of the county taxes. I am not wedded to
any one plan, and I am willing to comblno
several plans If necessary, nut the present
svstem Is wrong, and I hope to see, In ell
the states of the great plains and the
Rockies, the men like my correspondent of
the Ijirnmle County Cattle and Horse
Growers' association, the small ranchmen
"who plow and pitch hay themselves,"
seriously take up this matter and make
their representatives In congress understand
that there must be some solution, and that
this solution shall be one which will secure
the greatest permanent well-being to the
actual settlers, the actual home makers. I
promlsa will all the strength I have to co
rerate toward this end.
EXECUTIVE I 1 HKill SPIRITS

War to Keoknk.
K.KOKl'K. Ia.. Oct. 1. From 6 o'clock this
morning, when the president was awakened
at the small Illinois town of Meridnsla by
the strains of the village band, he was
seldom out of hearing of a cheer of some
kind, for the country people, as well as
the villagers, lined the roadway and all
were In a cheering mood. He did not, how
ever, respond to any of the many calls for
a speech and thus allowed the forenoon
run. which ended here on schedule time, to
proceed without noteworthy Incident. The
president spent the early morning reading,
and when he stepped off the train here he
appeared In the highest spirits.
Secretary Loeb left the party here and
will proceed west from this point to Wyom
ing, whither he goes for a month's visit, '

papers, the desire for political reasons to
embarrass the existing government, or
other, and even loss justifiable motives,
have led to misstatements, misconstruc
tions and unfounded guesses ail worked
into terrifying headlines which have nu
foundation whatever.
In each country, doubtless, there are ir
responsible persons that a war would or
might make prominent who try to give
seriousness to such discussions.
But when one considers the real feelings
of the two peoples as a whole, . when one
considers the situation from the standpoint
of the sanltyl and real patriotism of each
country it is difficult to characterize In
polite, moderate language tlie conduct ot
those who are attempting to promote mis
understandings and ill feeling between the
two countries .
It gives me pleasure to assure the people
of Japan that the good will of the Ameri
can people towards Japan I as warm and
cordial as ever. Tlie suggestion of a
breach in the amicable re lions between
them finds no confirmation in public opln-;
Ion In the United States.

Mr. Taft said it gave him great pleasure
to bring this message of good will from
President Roosevelt
In concluding Secretary Taft said ha bag
been to Japan four times and had previ
ously been honored by an audience with ths
mperor. He felt that the fact that,, his
majesty bad honored him with a second
Invitation was due to a desire to send a
message of good will to Americans and
show the world that Japan was friendly to
them. . i.
Mr. Taft's speech was greeted with en
thusiastic applause. After the banquet thx
.8senb!v room was the scene of a re
markable manifestation of good will, every
body congratulating everybody else on
what was considered to be a complete re-
,.i ,.t the "little cloud" which had
, '
been hanging over me miy fi .
friendship between the United States and
Japan, and rejoicing at the fact that , a
final damper had been put upon sensa
tlonal utterances regarding the possibility
j of strained relations between the two coun-
trles. An especially pieusing vuevv
