deception of the people and the loot
of public property. The Jackson club
stands for the reverse of all such char
acteristics. The Jackson club stands
for the purity of the ballot box and be
lieves that it is no disgrace for a poli
tician to bo honest The Jackson club
believes that success does not gloss
chicanery, that applause can not stifle
conscience; thatgolden raiment can
not veil from the people the decay and
putrefaction of reckless effrontery and
base acquisition.
" As a part of tho democratic party
the Jackson club turns with glowing
feeling to the life and character of the
hero for whom it is named; the man
who succeeded because of sturdy hon
esty and intense sincerity of purpose.
" 'There were many in that day and
' generation of his who were great, pur
poseful and -successful, and whom,
therefore, history has often named and
ever will continue to record. But It has
been given to few men to have battled
vigorously and long for an ideal, but
in vain, and yet remain spotless; to
have suffered defeat in purpose and
praiseworthy ambition and thrice rise
superior to and conqueror nis vic
tors. Such a feat can be accomplished
only by one who is honest in heart and
strong in mind; sincere in his wish to
lighten the burdens of the people and
ease the strenuous struggle which saps
the vitals of man; only by one who is
clean in his public and in his private
life, sober, trenchant and direct in all
his ways and, dealings; only by one
such as we have with us tonight, a
patriot uncrowned, but not unhonored,
our distinguished guest, William J.
Bryan.'
"At the conclusion of Mr. Perres'
speech, the guests jaid their respects
to "the refreshments provided by the
Jackson club. "When the meal was
finished Mr. Perres again arose and in
troduced United States Senator B. W.
Carmack.Mr. Perres said:. .
' 'Gentlemen In my opening re
marks I told you something that the
Jackson club stood for. xOne import
ant item I forgot. The Jackson club
stands for one of the most distin
guished members of the greatest body
in the world. It stands for the most
distinguished member of the Jackson
club, our own Senator Carmack.'
"Senator Carmack arose to reply, and
was greeted with an ovation in which
Mr. Bryan heartily joined."
Senator Mitchell's Career
Washington Correspondent New
York S'un:
John H. Mitchell, senior United
States senator from Oregon, who was
indicted at Portland for alleged vio
lation of the law in accepting $2,000
for the use of his influence as a sena
tor in furthering a fradulent land
scheme, i3 a veteran of many political
battles. He has been charged by his
political enemies with many crimes,
more serious, if possible, than that for
which he is under indictment, but he
has always been victor when the tug
of war came. -s
Senator Mitchell was born in Wash
ington county. Pa., in 1&35. and went
to Oregon in 18G0, after a few years'
residence in California. He became
more prominent gradually, and by 1866
came within one vote of being his
party's choice for United States sena
tor. He incurred the bitter hostility
of William Lair Hill, a brilliant law
yer, who was then editor of the Port
land Oregonian. Hill learned that
Mitchell was living under an assumed
name, and made a trip "to Pennsyl
vania, where he traced Mitchell's ante
cedents. It was discovered that Mitchell's real
name was John Hippie, and that while
very young he had married a poor girl,
the" daughter of a washerwoman, by
whom he had several children. He left
his family and disappeared, and in due
time turned up on the Pacific coast as
"John H. Mitchell." His Identity hav
ing been established, tho Oregonian
printed an exposure which caused a
sensation in the state. For years af
terward tho Oregonian referred to him
as "John Hippie Mitchell."
Mitchell did not deny tho truthful
ness of the story. Instead, he took tho
people of Oregon into his confidence,
admitted that he had changed his name
and asked the people to judge him by
nis record among them as a man rath
er than by the errors of his youth. Ho
took steps to have his new name le
galized and made peace with his
former wife by proper legal settle
ment Tho people of Oregon took Mitchell
at his word, and the attacks upon him
were unavailing. In 1872 ho was elect
ed to the United States senate and
took his seat on March 4. 1873. tho
same day upon which William B. Alli
son entered upon his career in the
senate. Allison has served continu
ously ever since, and now has tho rec
ord of having served longer than any
other man, living or dead. But Mitch
ell has been in and out several times,
and every campaign, with few excep
tions, has been a fight in which the fur
flew.
Senator Mitchell married early in
hj3 Oregon career, before tho expos
ure of his Pennsylvania experience.
His second wife was a resident of
Oregon, of beauty and good family.
Several daughters and one son were
born to them. The son. John H.
Mitchell, Jr., is a prominent lawyer in
Oregon. One daughter, Mattie, was a
famous beauty and belle In Washing
ton. In 1891 she married the Duke de
la Rachefoucauld, and is living in
Paris, where her mother is now visit
ing her.
Challenging The Field
A Chinese woman of distinction, now
in this country, wa3 recently asked by
a New York Tribune reporter to tell
him what appeared to her to be tho
dominant American trait
"Hopefulness," was the quick reply;
"a cheerful perseverance, an industri
ous optimism.
"This trait certainly governed a
young man whom I met the other night
at a dinner party," the lady continued.
"He was a medical student, and some
one said to him:
" 'Don't you despair of ever building
up a practice in medicine?'
" 'Indeed, no,' he answered.
" 'But you will admit that the profes
sion is already overcrowded?'
" 'Oh, perhaps it is,' said the young
man. And, then, wit- a laugh, he add
ed, lBut I propose to graduate in medi
cine, just the same, and those who are
already in the profession will have to
take, their chances.' "

Mexico is a land that never fails to interest the artist, student, sciontist, capi
talist and investor, as well as tho evory-day tourist and pleasure seokor in quest
of health and recreation.
The Iron Mountain Route is now tho shortest and quickest lino by many
hours, between St Louis and the City of Mexico. It runs ovor its own tracks
to Texarkana, tho Texas & Pacific Railway to Longview, Tex., tho
International 3 Great Northern Railroad to Laredo and the National
Railroad of Mexico to the City of Mexico. No more delightful trip can bo
nade for a brief vacation at this season of tho year. One may go twice tho
distance east or west and search in vain for such a variety of scenery, such an
absolute change of surroundings, such marked differences in the people, their habits
and mode of living.
Also, leaving Union Station, St Louis, at 8.20 p. m. on tho Texas and Mexico
Special on the Iron Mountain Route, you arrive at Little Rock, Ark., the next
morning in time for breakfast. Here a superb dining car is attached to the train.
Meals are served a la carto, the menu and all appointments being strictly first
class. From Little Rock it is less than an hour's run to Benton, Ark., where direct
connection is made with tho train of tho Little Rock & Hot Springs Western Rail
road for Hot Springs, the greatest and most popular all-year-round health and
pleasure resort in the country. Liberal stop-over privileges are allowed those who
desire to visit this great national sanitarium.
Tho train then continues on its journey through tho rich fruit farms and cotton
fields of Arkansas to Texarkana, and thenco across the Lono Star State to Austin
and San Antonio, which has a world-wide reputation as a resort for sufferers from
bronchial and pulmonary troubles. It is situated in the center of tho "health belt'
of the Southwest, blessed with almost perpetual sunshine and an ozone-laden
atmosphere, which tends to make the surrounding country a second paradise for
those afflicted with catarrh of tho head, weakened lungs or similar ailments.
At Laredo, Tex., you cross the Rio Grande River and chango flags, money also,
if you wish to handle the current coin of the realm, but you do not have to chango
oars, as tho same palatial Pullman in which you left St Louis is still with you and
will continue to bo until your train rolls into the capital city of the sister Republic,
at 7.30 p. m., third evening.
The first trip through Mexico is a series of revelations to the average tourist
They begin at Nuevo Laredo and reach a climax when the train plimbs to thf
crest of the mountain "which overlooks the beautiful Valley of Los Remedios, in th
center of which nestle the clustered spires of the City of Mexico.
