Dear Theodore:
I take advantage of Edith's kind-!
ness to Bend you a private word on !
matter# political. [ have been digging, j
about trying to get at the situation. I
I think I know It here. I do not like j
It.
Trusts, thunks to you, we rani
manage. Tariff reductions for trusts
we can meet in agreement. Tariff re
vision we cannot discuss. I do ont |
fear it. ;
But the rise in the price of coal we I
can trot argue with. It hurts people I
and they aay (this is literal) "We
don't care whether you are'to blame
or not, Coal is going up and the par
ty in power must be punished.” The
colder the day gets, the more people
will want real and the more they will
have to pay if the strike goes on. By
the first week in November, if the.
strike does not stop and coal begins
to go down, we shall have an over
turn. I am no alarmist, but the tndi
cations now on this alarm me. I care
nothing for the rest.
Despit* Henderson and the tariff.
«nd the trusts, I believe we should
hold the house and come nut all right
If it was not for the rising price per
ton of coal, which we cannot onswer
because it produces an unreasoning
sentiment. Now I do not write this
lb bother you needlessly, but to tell
you the very great danger in this re
gion and to ask if there is no pres
sure to bring to bear on these "operat
ors to make some small concession—
s small one would do now. We have
powerful friends in business. The ad
ministration Is strong. Can nothing
he done—not In public of course. $1
know that is out of the quesuon, but
by pressing the operators? It seem*
to me the crying need of the mo

anywhere, do anything I can. There''
Bre other# far better than I whom
you can call on. There is si ill time,

Omahan in Quandary Over Identity of Woman Who Kissed
Sandwich Islands King on Visit Here; He Has Autograph
Ko\al Writer, ill Gordons
Raiment. Made Midnight
Speech at Station.
II) EDWARD BLACK.
J.uclen Stephen# sake the world,
"Who kissed tha king""
Not that it matter# so much, but
he wishes to get his history straight.
The regal osculation nnpurred 50
years ago In the flrand Central hotel,
then located on the present site of
the Paxton.
Stephens, who is a member of the
library hoard snd a threescore-old
native son of Omaha, had several
ambitions when he attended the Jack
son Si reet school, on Jackson streel,
lift wren Twelfth and Thi(teentl)
streets. He wanted to he an acro
bat in a circus and to have the au
tograph of a king. He realized the
latter.
Half a century ago Omaha- enter
tained King David Kalakaua of the
Sandwich islands. Accompanied by
his father, William Stephens, Luelen
Stephens was in l he throng which
messed forward to get a glimpse of
his royal highness at the flrand Cen
tral.
"I want the kina's autograph," said
I.ueien to his father. ,
"Try and get It." the father re
plied
Lucler» obtained the autograph.
Wore Gorgeous Kaiiueot.
"I remember the king was more than
six feet tall, that he wore gorgeous
ralnment and that an Omaha, woman
kissed him." Stephens related. "When
l write my memoirs of Omaha 50
years ago I would like to have the
name of the woman who kissed the
king of Hie Sandwich islands."
The visit of King Kalakaua was
an important event in the life of
Omaha 50 years, ago. The newspaper
men stretched themselves to cover
every detail, and the city and school
officials extended every courtesy. The
Masonic fraternity had a. special In
terest In the occasion, the king heing
a member of that organization.
The king arrived In a special car at
tached to fhe Kansas City. St. Joseph
and Council Bluffs railroad train from
the south. He was accompanied by
C,ov. John O. Domlnis and flov. John
M. Kgpena of Honolulu: also Col.
William Wherry, 1'ntted States
army; tton. H. A. Pierce. United
States minister to the Sandwich Is
lands: Col. A. C. Dawes, railroad of
ficial . and Col. James N. Burns, St.
Joseph capitalist.
Midnight Address.
The king and his party arrived hero
at )\ p. m., and Kalak&ua responded
to calls for a brief talk at the station,
but be declined to make a second ap
pearance to sat iffy a party of be luted
women in their carriage*. The rec
ords show that Mayor Chase and
others escorted the party to the
Grand Central hotel for "rest and
several rounds of champagne."
The next day the king was taken
for a drive around the city whose
principal business center was along
Farnam street, from Fourteenth to
Ninth streets. There were no perma
nent pavements, Horse-drawn street
car* were used. The king admired a
view of ihe Hty from Capitol hill,
now the sire of Central High school.
He met Prof. S. I>. Reals, superin
tendent of school*, and Members How
ard Kennedy and. Coutant of fhe
school board. Seven hundred school
children greeted the ruler of the
Sandwich islands. At p. rn. sir
knights of Mount Calvary rommand
ery, Knights Templar, escorted the
king to their headquarters.
“Mob In Broadcloth.”
The arrival of the king wee re
ferred to by a newspaper man In
these words: "People of sll ages,
eidors and conditions were at the de
pot, and the well dressed throng,
pressing and pushing In the corridors
of tile magnificent hotels, reminded
one of what a gifted Englishwoman.
Harriet Martlneau. said many years
: go, that a mob In America was a
moh In broadcloth.” It la related that
members of the Omaha reception
(ommittee wore ellk top hats.
The presentation of a bouquet of
flowets by Chris Hartman to the king
was recorded as follows: ”The bouquet
was a model of beauty, the flowers
charming, and the arrangement was
:n the height of good taste. The cen
ter was a magnificent (alia lily sur
rounded by double scarlet, rose, pink,
white and salmon geraniums, prim
roses. begonias, heliotropes. Stellas
stra wflowers, sgeratums, cvclomen.
lantanas and rose geraniums, all
colors of pinks and a dozen varieties
of callas. all arranged In a circum
ference of 12 Inches.”
The distinguished visitor was de
scribed as "good looking, rather ro
I tund. young, polite,* and while he
speaks English fluently, It Is always
with a constrained manner observed
in one who uses a foreign tongue."
Graceful Dancer.
Among the Omahans who enter
tained the king were C. F. Catlin, G.
W. Trtnlnge r and Tl. C. Sutphen, the
latter being grandfather of Manager
Joy Sutphen of Brandels theater, and
of Ear) Sutphen. Among the dancing
partners of the king at the Grand
Central were Mrs. Catlin. Miss Me
geath and Miss Butterfield. The
king was desrrlbed as a graceful
dancer. notwithstanding his ro
tundity.
Along the route from SJ Eouls to
Omaha Colorel Burns of St. Joseph
occasionally disguised himself as the
king to relieve hts majesty of the fa
tigue of appearing an often on the
rear platform.
And If someone will tell T.uelen
Stephens who kissed the king In
Omaha RO years ago, he or she will

of “business men’’ seem to be for

Dear <’abot:
Now as to what you say about the
(coal) situation. I entirely agree with
you that It Is alarming, and chiefly
from the cause you mention. There
I- a further cause, ^’ow that there
|-i complaint of high prices at home,
people are being very much worried
at the way in which articles are sold
,nt a lower price abroad than they
me sold here The fart ls undoubted.
It la of course due to further fact
that In every business the surplus Is
disposed of nt below the regular
prices.
The popular way of expressing the
fail la that the trusts sell good* low
t-r abroad than at home, because of
Die way they are pampered by 1b*
Icriff; yet the type example being
used, for initariee, In Kansu* Is the
m Ice of a pair of American shoes In
Kansas and In laindon respectively;
nd of emir"* there la no shoe trust.
This I* a tariff question pure end
simple, and has no rela I ion whatever
to the trusts. Yet I think It has a
good deal Of a hold on the popular
mind Moreover, In th* Northwest
there la a good deal of formleaa and
'ague untaslntaa about tha trust* In
favor of tariff revision.
Blit the great roncrete trouble Is In
connection with the coal strike. The
tariff of course has nothing whatever
to do with the matter, ns there is no
tariff on anthracite coal.
No Trust Existed.
The coal operators are not com
hined so as to enable us legally to
cell them s trust; snd If they were,
all that we could do would he to pro
ceed against them under the law
against trusts, and whatever might
he the effect as between them and
the consumers In ordinary times,
•urh a proceeding would damage,
slightly, at least, hoth them and the
working miners, and would therefore
have no possible effert of a fa-jorable
nature upon the present etrlkc even
if it were not Improper to take It.
There is literally nothing, so far as
I have yet been able to find out.
which the national government has
any power to do in the matter, nor
can T even imagine any remedial
measure of Immediate benefit that

It would lie a good thing to have na
tional"control, or at least supervision,
over these big coal corporation*, t
am sure; hut that would simply have
to rnme as an incident of the general
movement to exercise control over
such corporations.
All this Is aside from the immedi
ate political effect. The same unrea
soning feeling which made the farm
er in Kansas hold the government
responsible because he hlmsellf had
tried in vain to carry on an Impossi
ble agriculture In the arid regions,
will make the peopjle hold the gov
ernment responsible If they do not

Hie conference failed the failure does
not in the least affect the fact that
your action was eminently wise and
has strengthened you beyond words

I have not dared to trust myself to

ence and arrogance coupled with
such stupidity I have never seen. 1
firmly believe Morgan is behind
them. He Is plating with fire. The
socialistic feeling Is growing apace
and the demand that the government
take the mines—one of the greatest
disasters that could befall us.
1 sm not surprised that you are
overwhelmed with suggestions of Im
possible plans such as you describe.
You can only keep up the pressure—
t*-usf to public opinion snd wait on

Dear Cabot:
On the suggestion of Foulke (civil
service commission! I shall write you
one Incident w hile It Is ft esh on my
mind, in connection with this coal
strike. The wild /*4vlce I have receiv
ed In" reference to It Is really ex
traordinary. I must show you a let
ter from Stuyvesant Fish which Is as
startling of Its kind ss snythlng I
have ever read. Also another from
good Dr, Yan Dyke which is to the
effei t that if federal troops are sent
Into the district they should enforce
altruism «t the bayonet's point on
the operators.
The crisis came st the last moment.
Retween the hours of 16 p. in. snd
1 s. m. T had Perkins and Bacon
<Morgan hanking partners) on here,
on hehalf of Morgan, hut really re
preaentlng the operators Neither
Morgan nor anyone else hsd been
able to do much with those wooden
hended gentry, snd Bacon and Per
kins were literally almost rrarv. The
operators had limited me down, by a
fool proviso, to fl\e different types
of men, Including ''an eminent so
ciologist."
Proviso Absurd.
This was a ridiculous provlao he
rauae I rould have appointed bad men
In every case and yet kept to Its let
ter; snd they ought to have given me
a free hand. The miners, on the
other hand, wanted me to appoint at
least two extra members myself, or In
some fashion to get Bishop Spalding
(whom I myself wnntsd). snd s labor
union man on the1 commission. I re
carded (heir contention as perfectly
reasonable, ami so Informed Hanoi!
and I'orkins and the operators. The
operators refused point blank to have
another man added, and Bacon snd
Perkins came on nearly wild to -mas
ib’t they had full power to treat on;
behalf of the operators, hut that no j
extra titan should he added.
Finally It developed that what they
infant was that no extra man should'
be added if he was a representative ot ,
organized labor; and argue ns 1 could ;
nothing would nutk them change: al- '
though they grew more and more
h: stiTioal, and not merely admitted,
hut Insisted, that the failure to agree
ii’caut prtdi.ihlj violence and possible
social war. ,
“Tvv I 'dlctluin or Tweetlledee."
Tt took me about two hours lie
fore 1 tit kjet strapped the fact that
the mighty brains of these captains
of Industry had formulated the the
cry that they would rather have an
srcliv than tweedledum, but that if I
woudl use the word tweedledes they
would hail It as meaning peace, in
other words, that they had not the
slightest objection to my appointing
a labor man as "an eminent sociolo
gist," and adding Bishop Spalding oil
my own account, hit they preferred to
s«-e the Red Commune conic than to
have me make Bishop Spalding or
anyone else the "eminent sociolo
gist" and add the labor man.
I instantly told them that T had
not the slightest objection whatever
to doing an absurd thing when It
was necessary to meet the objection
of r.n absurd mind on *ome vital
point, and that I would cheerfully ap
point my labor men as the "eminent
sociologist." It was almost impos
sible for tnc to appreciate the Instant
and uemendous relief this gave them.
They saw nothing offensive In my
language and nothing ridiculous In
the proposition, and Pierpont Mor
gan and Bter. when tailed up by tele
phone. ea«g*rly ratified th» absurdity;
and accordingly, at this utterly unim
portant price, we hid fair to conic
cut of as dangerous a situation as T
ever dealt with.

Hear Theodoi e
It was very good of you to find
time in the midst of all your great
cares to writ* nte tour letter of the
ITth. It is putting It very mildly
tn say that T have »njov »d every
word of it, «nd I have read It more
than once. There is really some
thlng splendid In the perfect willing
ness of these great business minds
to hive a representative of organ
ised labor provided only 'hat he is
called a socialist. It certainly was a
small price to pay to get a settle
ment. and no human being has the
slightest objection to It, though I
have been extremely amused by the
efforts of some of the editors to show
why your labor man was a sociolo
gist.
"Example of Business Man."
The business man dealing with a
large pollth nl question is really a
painful sight. it does Kri-ra tn nve
that business men, with a few ex
ceptlons. ate worse when the' come
to deal with politics than men of any
other class. As for the Stuyvessnt
Kish hies, It Is colossal, It defies
comment. It is also an example of
the business man
I can hafdly find words to tell vou
though how fine I think your action
has been and what wisdom, power
and ability you seem to me to have
displayed. It !« a very great public
service you have rendered, and I re
joice It is more than I ran express
It has had a great effect already
In this state. The tide turned in o'Ur
favor as soon as the settlement was
known. I was speaking tn the west
ern part of the state and I could see
the change go on, as the spirits of
our people went up, and T think we
have every reason to hellsve that we
shall elect onr governor by a good
majority, and elect 12 congressmen,
all by reduced majoVltle*. but still
with s gain of three seats I may
l>e over sanguine, but that Is the way
It looks to me now

there is * certain nmount of break

Dear Theodor*: ,
'l era glad you received the little
book safely. Everything In it. of
course, #«t old to you. but I wonted
you to have it In book form.
Ton say that you are finishing your
message, which remind* me of a very
important matter. to wit: Immigration.
The house passed a moet excellent
bill, ns you probably know, revising
the entire Immigration law- and put
ting In the illiteracy test. It came to
the senate, our committee went
through It with the utmost care and
have reported It favorably. It 1* now
on the senate calendar. Me ought to
get it through at this short session
without fall. It i« the best chance we
have had to secure this Important
legislation. T wish very much you
would put In a strong paragraph In
your message urging the passage of
the hill nn« so nearly completed, and
1 will try to get Penrose to take it
tip as soon as we mer
it's are on the o« of e'er'lon. My
judgment on the farts as they come
to me land! have been In every part1
of ih* state, not having worked so
hard or made so many speeches fst
yearn, ia that we shall elect our gov
ernor by a greatly reduced majority,
and on the face of things we ought
to have 12 congressmen. Three of the

How Margaret
Found Health
By Jin* Smith
MARUARFT SAWYKR had to
leave school on account of
poor health. At first, her
mother did not bother consulting a
physician, hut decided that if she
Kept Margaret out of school for a
while, everything would be all right
and she could enter again the next
term. She took Margaret away on;
a vacation, to give her a change;

continued.
When they returned from their
tri p, Margaret had lost several
pounds, and her health seemed to
be worse than ever. Mr*. Sawyer
took her at once to the family phy
sician and explained to him that her
daughter was badly in need of med
ical aid.
Dr. Hammond had been a prac
litioner for years, and this was
only one of many such can-* that
had come to his attention, so that
he was familiar with Margaret'* ail
ntent and the method ef treatment
"T am going to suggest a remedy I
to you." he told th* anxious mother.j
"and 1 will guarantee good result*.!
1 have told many patients to tak«
this medicine, and 1 can report that
in each case the patient was preatly
helped, and usually cured. I want
you to give your daughter Pr.
Price's Golden Medical Pisco very
Then come hack and tell me how
she is getting along ”
Two months later Mrs. Sawyet
called on Pr Hammond.
“Well, doctor," she said, “Mar
garet returned to school last w-eek.
And she comes home at night all
full of enthusiasm, and gets up in
the morning the same way. Poytor
you have cured my little gir',."
Pr. Hammond shook his head.
"No, Mrs Sawyer,’ he said. “1
can't take the credit for it. 1 mere
ly told you of Pr. Price's wonderful
medicine, because 1 knew it was
what your daughter needed." Polks
everywhere praise this Discovery.

many remedies had failed to give
me relief, 1 was permanently cured
of stomach trouble by taking Dr.
Price's Golden Medical Discovery,
As a stomach medicine and a tome
for the blood it has no equal and 1
am always glad to recommend it.”
