The Commercial Spirit Raises the Standard of Living. Dy OSCAR S. STRAUS. Secretory ot Commerce and tabor. XTR era, the commercial era, began with tho Doclarn- 1 tionof Indcpondonco. X j, I am placing your patriotism on a lower lovoi wncn jl say that America started, her career with n commercial and economic declaration that lod to her independ ence. It contained two principles tho first, that tho 2 V t n KjKSMt3 j king of Great Britain had cut us off from all tho trado of tho world; tho second, taxation without representation is tyranny. Behind theso economic questions rest tho great principles upon which our form of government rests. THIS SPIRIT, THIS COMMERCIAL SPIRIT, INSTEAD OF BEING THE LOWEST IS THE HIGHEST IN CHARACTER. IT DOESNT REST ON CONQUEST OR NATURAL ANTAGON'.SM, BUT UPON MU TUALITY AND GOOD WILL. THE ERA COMMERCIAL HAS DONE MORE TO USHER IN THOSE INTERNATIONAL MEASURES THAT MAKE FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE THAN ALL OTHERS COMBINED. r The Caesars and tho Pomp"eys fought to enrich therasolves that they in turn might rule tho Roman government and dominate tho people. They sought war for selfish purposes. How much nobler and grander is tho modern spirit commercial ! Trado does not follow tho flag nor seek its own at tho cannon's mouth. TRADE SEEKS THE HIGHWAYS OF PEACE and makes those highways more and moro peaceful. K . Formerly tho bright and brilliant men who camo from the col leges cast their fortunes with tho law, medicino or tho ministry, leav ing to thoso who " n'e loss gifted tho marts of trade. Now it is all changed. Now tho brightest, brainiest, ablest men seek the ways of commerce, of manufacture, of industry. The spirit commercial brings prosperity to tho nation- and to tho ppoplo. It raises tho standard of living among tho masses. It is not measured by commodities or by tho number of millionaires wo have, but by tho condition of tho millions it affects. There novor was a timo or a country where tho standard' of living was higher than horo in tho United States today. True, thero is dis content, but I do not object to that. It only means that tho masses, having had a taste of some of tho good things of life, desire advance ment to better things. Therein lies tho cssenco of progress. I don't mean jealousy or envy, but that restlessness which makes for higher and better living. THE BEST CIVILIZATION 18 THAT WHICH OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES TO THE MASSES. OPPORTUNITY 18 GIVEN TO ALL IN OUR COUNTRY. SUCCESS IN ANY 8PHERE DEPENDS UPON THE INDIVIDUAL, HIS CAPACITY, HIS ABILITY, HIS ENERGY, HI8 SACRIFICES. COMMUNISM, OR WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO CALL IT, CRU8HES OUT THE VERY THING THAT MAKES FOR THE PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY OF A COUNTRY. Signs of Certain Dissolution Of the British Empire Visible. Hv Cirdlnal LOGUE. Prlmtto of Ireland. IT is a gratifying realization for me to observe' that one of tho great factors in your progress has been duo to tho emigration from Ireland of its millions of sturdy and devoted sons and daughters. ' EXGLAND IN ITS BLIND PERSECUTION OF OUR PEO PLE did not f oreseo that it was creating on this sido of tho Atlantic an Ireland greater and moro progressive than tho littlo island from which oppression forced so many of its children to flee. I well remember telling Chief Secrotary for Ireland Forster, known in tho early days of tho great Land League agitation as "Buck-1 shot" Forster, that I should not bo surprised to seo tho coup do graco administered to England in its declining days by tho Irish in America. IT MAY NOT BE THAT SUCH A WORLD EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN MY TIME, BUT I SEE ALREADY THE SIGNS OF THE CERTAIN DISSOLUTION OF THE BRITI8H POWER. Its colonies are restive. Australia is today practically independ ent of the mother country, and tho trend is every moment moro and moro in tho direction of absolute rebellion. Now Zealand is carrying a chip on its shoulder.. Canada is enacting laws that show its desiro to conduct its own business in its own way. In tho great domain of the East Indies thoy have not yet reached tho point where insurroctionariea are shot to pieces from tho cannon's mouth, as in tho days of Cawnpur, but THE FIRES OF REBEL LION ARE LIGHTED, and "they're hangin' men and women" for daring to counsel the never dying doctrine of freedom. WHEN ENGLAND SIT3 ALONE AS A RESULT OF THE MIS GOVERNMENT OF ITS LIFE CONTRIBUTING FOSSE3SION8 ABROAD, IT WILL BE THE DAY OF RECKONING WHICH THE CHILDREN OP THE GAEL HAVE FOUGHT AND PRAYED FCIIt. No Constitutional Amendment Needed By J. F. DILLON, Addrcjjlntf New York County Lawyers' Association. CHE constitution needs no amendment. It has triumphantly carried us to OUR PRESENT EXALTED POSITION among tho nations of tho earth, and if it continues to bo ex pounded by tho supremo court, unawed and uncontrolled by popular clamor, passions, combinations or interests of any character or by legislative or executive dictation, it will carry us through an other century and indefinitely beyond TO A STILL MORE AUGUST DESTINY. The constitution is "not a nose of wax, to bo twisted this way or that." Tho rights of tho state as against tho central authority and of tho citizen as against tho state must be maintained in all their integ rity and vigor. When tho light of the supreme court shines the "twilight zone" disappears. ( I hope you 'will not fool that I TEOEMSESSION Educators Open Their Conven tion at Cleveland, Vice President Schaeffer Makes Open Ing Address Convention City Wlni Spelling Match Government's In dlan Exhbllt an Interesting Feature. Tho most varied program In tho his tory of tho National Educational asso ciation marked tho oponlng of tho forty-sixth convention of tho organiza tion at Cleveland, O., Monday. Tho first session in connection with tho convention was a meeting ot the national council. This was followed Ly n meeting of tho directors, whoro tho financial reports wore mado and resolutions adopted. One of tho interesting features ot tho program, although not a part of tho official convention routine, was a spelling contest between Eighth grade pupils, In which a team of fifteen rep resenting each of four cities entered. Tho Cleveland schools challenged tho schools of tho country. Pittsburg, Now Orleans and Erlo, Pa., accepted. First thero was a wrlttou contest of 100 words nnd oral spelling of about 250 words. When tho scores were com piled It was found that Cleveland won, with n total of only 38 errors; Pitts burg second, with 47 errors; New Or leans third, with GG, nnd Erlo fourth, with S5. Mao Thursby ot Pittsburg nnd Mario Dolden (colored) of Cleveland had per fect scores, the Int'ter receiving re peated cheers from nil parts of tho big theater. The first general session was hold In conjunction with tho national coun cil, where addresses ot welcome wero made, responses heard and Charles F. Thwlng, president of tho Western Re servo university, Cleveland, mado a ro port upon tho "Educational Progress for the Year." Vice President Nathan C. Shadier, state superlntondent of public instruc tion, Harrlsburg, Pa., acting president Vn tho absence of President Edwin G. Coofoy, superintendent of Bchools, Chi cago, who Is 111 In Switzerland, deliv ered the annual address. An exhibition by the United" States government In tho education of Indian children Is an Interesting feature of tho convention. It Is under the direc tion of Miss Estalle Reel, superintend ent of Indian schools. Real Indian war dances are given, the object being to show a contrast between savagery nnd what might bo accomplished under comprehensive governmental supervision of the edu cation of Indians. Tho school Is com posed of Nez Perce children In full tribal costume. PLATT TESTIFIES IN WOOD CASE Charged With Perjury In Her Suit for Alleged Divorce from Senator. Senator Thomas C Piatt was wheeled In a choir Into tho grand Jury room in tho New York criminal oourl to testify ih the case of Mao C. Wood, who Is charged with porjury In hor suit for alleged divorco from the senator, which collapsed sovoral weeks ago, The evldenco wne presented to the grand Jury by Assistant District Attor ney Garlan. Edward Roland, tho senator's ex-valet, and Edward C Hafely, a printer, were also wltnosses before the grand Jury, it was chiefly Mr. Hafely's evidence which caused the failure of tho woman's case against tho senator and brought about her arrest nd commitment under or ders of Judge O'Gorman, who heard the evidence In the divorce case. Mr Hafely printed tho blank forms of the marriage certificate which Miss Wood offered" in court, filled qut to prove that sho had been married to the senator. Mr. Hafely testified that these blanltB wero not printed until three months after the date on which Miss Wood alleged that sho was mar ried. Miss Wood testified that tho certificate was filled out within a few hours after tho ceremony was per formed. Sho Is at liberty under ball. No action was taken by the grand' Jury. More witnesses will be examined. SECOND THAW CA8E DELAYED Judge Mills Orders Postponement of Two Weeks to Permit Filing Briefs. At White Plains, N. Y.. Judge Mills adjourned the Thaw case two weeks, when counsel will submit affi davits and arguments on the question of a Jury trial. Thaw was remanded to Poughkeep sle jail for convenience ot his counsel, Mr. Morschuuser, who lives in Pough keepsie. Under the proceeding by which Thaw was brought there the question of his right to a jury trial was raised. In the first habeas corpus proceedings in Poughkeepsle this point was not brought up, as counsel for Thaw as sumed that his sanity was perfect. Thaw's chances for a jury trial as to his sanity appear to be Very bright Situation at Teheran. A dispatch received by the London Times from Teheran paints a gloomy picture of the situation It says that general uncertainty exists and that the feeling of Insecurity Is increasing. Tho people are driven to despair and the half famished soldiers, eager for loot, commit acts of flagrance Mean while the royal camp Is Increasing In strength and Is said to number 10.000 men. General Llakhoff Is the master of the sltuution and Is ruling as an absolute Independent viceroy. The shah, the dispatch concludes, seems to have no program for the future ad ministration of the country. TREASURY STATEMENT Marked Falling Off In Receipts and Large Increase In Expenditures.
