MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2. The vice presi

was the orator of the day at the formal
opening of the Minnesota state fair, by In- j
vltatlon of the Minnesota Agricultural
society, spoke at a reception following the
exercises; was u guest, oi me association on
the grounds and reviewed the artillery of
Vansant nuked the ladles to waive their
handkerchiefs and the men to give three
cheers, '.he "csult was a response which the
vice president will long remember. The
audience was responsive throughout the vice
presldent'ii address and ho had frequently
to pause before ho could make himself
heard.
The vice president In beginning his ad
dress paid a high tribute to the character
and o- crgy of his hearers, descended, be ;
said, from a race of pioneers which bad I
pushed westward into the wilderness and
laid the foundations for new common
wealths. The men with ax and pick and
plow, who, ho said, had pushed to com
pletion the dominion of our people over the
American wilderness, had shown by their
qualities of daring, endurance and far
sightedness that they recognized In practi
cal form the fundamental law of success In
American life the law of worthy work;
the law of resolute, high endeavor.
Continuing he Raid:
llel -itii .Mnn nml Mnn.
"It seems to me that the simple accept
ance of this fundamental fact of American
lite, will help us to start aright in facing
not a few of the problems that confront us
from without and from within. We cannot
possibly do our best as a nation unless all
of ub know how to act in combination ns
well as to act each Individually for himself.
This acting in combination can take many
forms, but of course Its most effective form
must be when It comes In shape of law;
that is, of action by the community as a
whole through the law-making body. No
bard and fast rulo can be laid down as to
where our legislation shall stop In interfer
lng betwen man and man, between Interest
and Interests. All that can be said Is that
it Is highly undcrslrable, on the one band,
to weaken Individual Initiative, and, on the
other hand that in a constantly increasing
number of cases we shall find It necessary
in the future to shackle cunning ns In the
past we have shackled force. It is not only
highly desirable, but necessary that there
should be legislation which shall carefully
shield the interest, of wageworkers, and
which shall discriminate in favor of the
honest and human employer by removing
the disadvantage under which he Btands
when compared with unscrupulous competi-
tors who have no conscience and will do
right only under fear of punishment.
"Nor can legislation stop with what nre
termed labor questions. The vaBt individual
and corporate fortunes, the vast combina
tions of capital, which have marked the
development of our Industrial system,
create new conditions and necessitate a
change from the old attitude of the state
and nation toward prosperity."
There was. he contended, but tho scantcst
Justification for most of the outcry against
raeQ ol weaim, as sucn. auu u ougnt to tie
unneccssary, he said, to state that any
appeal, which finally entails the possibility
of lawlessness and violence, was an attack
upon the fundamental properties of Ameri
can citizenship.
"Our Interests aro at bottom common,"
he continued. "In tho long run we go up
or down together. Yet more and moro It
in evident that the stnte, and If necessary
the nation, has got to possess the right of
supervision and control ns regards tho
great corporations which aro Its creatures,
particularly as regards the great business
combinations which derlvo a , portion of
their Importance from tho existence of
some monopolistic tendency."
Cont'eriilnif Coiii-tlle ntliirm Ahroiitl,
As to our relations with foreign powers,
Vice President Roosevelt snld that our
nation, while llrst of all seeing to Its own
domestic well being, must not shrink from
playing Its part among the great nations
without. "Our duty," he said, "may take
many forms In the future, as It has taken
many forms In the past. Nor Is It posslblo
to lay down a hard and fast rule for nil
cases. We must ever face the fact of our
shifting national needs, of the always
changing opportunities that present them
selves. But we may be certain of ono
thlug. whether we wish it or not. we can
not avoid hereafter haivng duties to do in
the face of other nations. All that we cau
do Is to settle whether we shall perform
these duties well or 111."
He counseled courtesy and respect In all
dealings with any foreign power with whom
the government might come lu contact. Oi
this point he udded: "Let us make it evi
dent that we Intend to do Justice. Then
let us make It equally evident that we will
not tolerate Injustice being done to ub In
return. Let us further make it evident that
wo use no words whl b we aro not pre
pared to back up with deeds and thot while
1 om speech is always moderate, we are
' rrady and wllllug to mako It good. Such
an nituuae win ne me surest possiDie guar-
nnty of that self-respecting peace.
American commonwealth nt the expense of
any other, nor any policy of commercial
discrimination against any foreign power
whaisoover. Commercially, as far ns this
doctrine is concerned, all we wish Is a fair
field und no favor, but If we are wise we,
Bhall strenuously Insist that under no pre
text whatsoever shall there be any terri
torial aggrendlzement on American soil by
any European power, and this, no matter
what form tho territorial aggrandizement
may take."

PITTSBURG, &tt. 2.-The big Labor daj
demonstration monopolized the uttentlon of
workmen and strikers hete and In the ur
niiBdlnK lowna, but the Bteol manufacturers
went on making preparation- for tho open
ing of the p'unis that arc shut down by
tho strikiirs. increasing iuu number of men
at mills already working.
The contest seems to huvo settled dowu
to an Issue of eiidurunce. Evldoncos of
lmpatleueo 111 e cropping out on the Blde
of tho strikers and the authorities icur that
the unlawful uets participated In by the
strikers last night aud toduy about the
Star tin plant may multiply and spread to
other quarters. The odlrials of the Stur
mills claim the strikers held up a special
dtlltery boy with a lotter for the officials
aud inspected the lotter before he was al
lowed to proceed. The matter will be re
ported to tho postal authorities at once It
is also charged thut the strikers stoned tho
company currlagt- on Penn avenue this
morning, but did no special dnmugc to the
occupants.
The aggressiveness of the strikers wus
furthor demonstrated late this afternoon,
when a mob surrounded William Jones, a
colored man. who wns mletuketi for a noa
union man from the Stur works. He mado
a narrow escape from serious injury by
the appearance of Police Lieutenant Cros
man, who came to his rescue. Before
CroiBtnan could secure additional aid he
was almost overwhelmed by the large crowd
that had gathered. The prompt arrival of
a large number of officials probably saved
Jones from Berlous Injury, ub tho mob ap
peared a desporate ono nnd mnuy demunJs
were mude thut ho bo strung up.

During tho parade most of tho pickets
were uway from tho Star mills and the
company succeeded In securing several new
men. Of tho lot that arrived in Pittsburg
early thin morning it was said that a good
many of them were for tho Dummler plunt
lu McKeesport. '
Tho LlndBay-McCutchnon plunt Ifi" Alle
gheny did not start up today and tho man
agement said the men wanted to celebrato
Labor day. The mills will be operated as
UBUal tomorrow. The Painter mills in West
Carson Btrect started up as uauul with lu
creuscd force. There wns no change In the
Lawrcncevllle district. The failure of tho
Amalgamuted people to cripple the C'ur
negle open-henrth plant nt Duquesne this
morning is looked upon by the Bteel officials
as the death blow of the strike, lu tho Cat
neglo mills ut leuBt. Lust night the strike
managers nt McKeesport announced thut a
march would be made this morning to Du
quesne and predicted that the men would
not go to work und the entire plant would
be tied up. This morning no purnders up
peored, the men went "to work nnd the
plnnt Is in operation as usual. It Is mure
than probablo thnt this lutest fullure ut
Duqucatio will have the effect of making
the strike managers withdraw all efforts In
that direction. While there is visible indi
cation that the Nutlonul Tube company in
