monials of the appreciation In the United

the American people, and all who speak our
English tongue Join In sorrowing for his
loss. Believe mo very faithfully yours,

Following a short opening address by
Dean Beecher, the subject,' "Edward, the
Man,' was discussed by Colonel. T. W. Mo
., Cullough, who dwtlt upon the way the king
had endeared himself to his people by his
'. democracy.
, "We find no other king in English history
who co mingled with his people," said
the speaker, "who went Into the public
places dressed aa an ordinal y cltlsen, who
f went about with so little pomp and clr
.i cumstance. It was said of him that he
' was a short Ir an, but . that ne bore turn
self with such dignity that he seemed tall;
a. dignity which forestalled undue famlll
arity and whlcb vas a tribute paid by
' himself to the Importance of his position,'
Talking on this same theme. Colonel Mc
Cullough apoke of a picture recently taken
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
alone and unattended on a street in Blar-
. rlti. "An editor of a great London news
' peper, summoned one day to the palace,
found that the king had called him, not
to discuss ft question of politics, finance
, ' or statecraft, but to talk of a recent de
velopment In photography. When that
editor arrived he dlscovertd the king romp
l:i with a child, his grandson.
, "Edward VII Is known aa the most popu
Maf of all of England's rulers, lie mingled
: J with his people. He took an Interest In
' i their games and their sports and In the!
, lrdustrles. When tho end came, when he
ilald down to die, his last words were,
j hope I have done my duty.' It may be
aald that the 400,000 people who night and
1 day, In rain and storm, passed by tils bier
, ,to do him reverence, were answering that
i In their Judgment his duty had been don
and done well."
A. Constltatlvaml Monarch.
Robert Cowell spoke upon "Edward, King
and Diplomat" "He lived at horn a
constitutional monarch," said Mr. Cowell
"never exceeding his duties and offices,
lard while It wa a!d of him that he wa
'at home a king among statesmen, yet
abroad he waa known as a statesman
among kings."
' Mr. Cowell reviewed King Edward
achievements In bringing England from tho
position of "splendid Isolation" In which
It waa at tho beginning of hla reign to
It present alliances. The speaker then
' presented a compendium of expressions

Some sense of the vastneas of th empire
-which Edward VII ruled and a feeling of
th Importance of his position was tuim
munlcatod to th auditors by the next
Speaker, John L. Webster, who aald:
"King Edward th Vll died, aad th buU
nesa world stopped in all It public and
private affair to send meaaagea of con
dolence. Place of amusement wr dosed.
Business door were draped in mouncg.
Chambers of Commerce suspended trad to
'pus resolution. Th congresses and legis
lative bodies of ail countries passed ap
propriate resolution and adjourned In
rtapect to hla memory. The- ruler of all
nations kings, emperors, sultans, csars,
rnlkados and presidents sent messages
ooiua'i.lt.g expressions of sorrow, apprecia
tion and r; ecL ' The crown-head ot
Europ have marched In procession behind
his bier from Buckingham palace to West
minuter hall.
"Who was this King Edward who has
received such demonstrations of respect
and expressions of admiration? It la a
commonplace eaylng that the English
dium-beat may be heard around the world
and that the sun never sets upon the do
minion of the British empire. It may b
said that King Edward extended his bene
ficent reign over one-third of all the peo
ple of the earth and that the English flag
floats over one-third of all the land sur
face of the globe. It has been aald that
70 per cent of all the ahlps that float upon
all th seas, carry th English flag.
Baled Many Haces.
"But to thla statement something more
needs to be aald to bring about a fuller
understanding of the grave and multitudi
nous questions that wore constantly before
the mind of this great ruler. Within his
domain there were people of alt races
and ail classes and of all languages. There
Were Africans and Zulus and Egyptians
and Arabians and the durk . children ot
India. There were the mixture of Portu
guese and Creoles and Indians In South
and Central America. There were tlia
English and French descendants in Canada.
There were the Englishmen and Welshmen
and Scotchmen and Irishmen at home. .
"Among all these were found every shade
of religious sect, from Pagans to Moham
medans, from Buddhists and Brahmins to
the various sects ot the Christian religion.
"All these nationalities, races, sects and
domain were in close contact with neigh
boring nations, sometimes friendly and
sometimes hostile In spirit. To maintain
good government and peace throughout
the- borders 'Of this Immense Biitlflh em
pire It wait the privilege of King Edward
to extend hi beneficent rule. No wonder
that when King Edward died that one
third of all the people ot all the earth
felt that they had lost a friend and a
ruler, and the remaining part of the civi
lized world felt that a friend ot peace bad
died. '
"King Edward was a great man. It was
his personality that made him th ruler
that he was. It was that personality that
mad his people happy. It was his per
sonality and statesmanship that steered
the empire through seas, whose treachery
was never appreciated by his subjects. It
was his personality that made him a great
man and a great king, When he passed
from the period of Prince of Wales to
kingship, all Englishmen came eventually
to regard him as the greatest man in the
world. Te people looked to him to uphold
the dignity and greatness of the empire
and have attributed to him powers of diplo
macy which even Machlavelll could never
have suggested."

ling-ton is Mentioned la
tho Bible.
Two hundred delegates to tho twenty-
t Ifth annual session of the Nebraska United
Commercial Travelers of America sat down
to a delightful banquet at Happy Hollow
club Friday night.
The program of speakers Included 1 W.
Wakeley, general passenger agent of the
Burlington; H. II. Baldrlge, Rev. F. L.
Loveland and Henry F. Qehrlng. Colonel
Richard Woods of Sioux Falls was toast-
master. Mr. Wakeley opened his speech
by emphasising the relations of the rail
roads of today toward the commercial
traveling man. He told of the development
of the railroad and said that wherever the
railroad lays steel shortly afterward fol
lows the traveling man. Backed by an
array of figures, the Burlington official
showed that Nebraska today has better
rallrtad facilities than any other part of
the country lu proportion to populstlon.
"The history ot the railroads through the
middle west Is full of landmarks where the
traveling man and the railroads have come
together In honest differences with a satin
factory settlement," said Mr. Wakeley.
"You know today better than ever before
how far we can go to meet your expecta
tions, and where the danger Una of over
production or decreased revenue Is marked
for us. In appealing to your Judgment on
thone things that conctrn us Jointly 1
would not belittle th subject by a reter-
erce here to the minor things that are
continually coming' up. We can Improve
msny things we are doing; we have made
mistakes. There Is muoh that can be dons
to smooth out uncouth and annoying prac
tices; there should be no subject, of mutual
concern that cannot fee discussed directly
between us. We recognise In you a power
and an intermediary whoso goodwill Is
essential to us, and which we seek to hold.
We feel we are meeting as fast aa good
business will permit us your expectations.
Train Mileage Increases.
"Ten years ago. In 1M0, there were run
over the three principal railroads serving
Nebraska, eastern Colorado, Wyoming, tha
Black Hills and southern Montana s.UO.OUO
miles of passenger train service, while dur
ing the present year there is a passenger
train service In that region of 15,0:6,X
miles over those three railway systems.
'We must so solve the economlo problems
of this new land that its agricultural assets.
on which alone we depend, shall be made
to multiply the volume of your trade and
that our commercial, social and political
etr lo for which wa stand responsible may
be- framed up with a liberality and aa In
telligence that shall be In keeping with the
obligations of our Inheritance."
W. C. Brooks selected fur his topic,
"Widows and Orphans." Mr. Brooks
gave the figures of the United Commercial
Travelers' and showed the great work It
was doing for the beneficiaries of dead
members.
It H. Baldrlge spoke on the "Optimism
of the Traveling Man." 'The traveling

P
man, said Mr. Baldrlge, "mum be an
optimist or he has no right to be a com
mercial traveler. He must satisfy him
self that the firm he represents is worthy
of his confidence or orders cannot be se
cured." A curious fact shown by Mr.
Baldrlge was that last year there was
sold in Nebraska over 4,000 automobiles
an amount equal to the yield ' of the po
tato crop of Nebraska in 1309.
In an address filled with humor, Rev. F.
I Loveland spoke on "The Moral Advance
ment of the Traveling Man." One Inci
dent that created much laughter was when
Rev. Loveland turned to Mr. Wakeley and
Informed that official that before today
he had never known that the Burlington
road was mentioned In' the Bible. '"In the
Bible you will find," said Mr. Loveland
"that it says then Qod created the earth,
the sky, man, and then the - oreeping
things."
The program closed with a talk by Henry
Gehrlng on "The Ladles." Dancing fol
lowed the speakers' program. Today will
conclude this year's session of the grand
council. The executive session at the Pax
ton this morning will require the atten
tion of the men while the women will be
given an auto whirl through Omaha and
will be given a luncheon at the Young
Women's Christian association.
AYLESW0RTH TO LABOR UNION
Lectarer 6a ys Women Do Not Ask
Saffraae to Get Office for
Themselves.
In the use of equal suffrage, women do
not ask public office for themselves, ac
cording to Dr. Barton O. Aylesworth In a
lecture before the Central Labor union
Friday night. The speaker declared that
bad systems of municipal courts exist in
nearly all the great cities of the country,
and that the men are not equal to the
task of purging the systems of their bad
features. ,
With the example of Judge Ben Llnd
sey's adventures as Juvenile court Judge
at Denver, Dr. Aylesworth showed the
power ot women's votes. It was the votes
ot women that alone served to help Judge
Llndsey beat the corrupt politicians lu that
city, the speaker said. Dr. Aylesworth's
contention was that political machines have
no party connections, but control both par
ties ot the cities in which they exist.
JUDGE REMEMBERS MR. EMM
Estelle Rends Several Faces ' of
Memory to Prisoner In Iro
nennclnst Sentence.
Charles Lawrence, alias Emm, wished
that Judge Kstello had not so good a mem
ory when the court had finished with
him. Emm was likewise up for a sentence
on a burglary charge to which he had
pleaded guilty.
'Let me see," said the court, "I think
I remember you. It was at Papillion In
Sarpy county and you were charged with
breaking into and entering a box car. We
found It was a dismantled car used as a
temporary residence by a trainman. I in
structed the Jury to acquit you and when
you pleaded guilty to petty larceny, I gave
you a sentence of twenty-four hours In ths
oustodr of the sheriff. While on the way
to Jail here you ran away from the sberltf
at South Omaha."
The eourt gave Emm two years.
