Is a hard and cruel (net that In thla life
of ours the sins of the man are often vis
ited most heavily upon those whose welfare
should be his one spt rial care.
For the drunkard, for the man who loses
his Job Ix-eanse ha can not control or will
not control his deslw for liquor and for
vicious pleasure, we have a feeling of anger
and contempt mixed with our pity; but fur
his unfortunate wtfc and little onea we feel
only pity, and that of the deepest and Uu
derest kind.
Kverythlng possible should be done to en
courage the growth of that spirit of self
respect, self-restraint, self-rdluncc, which If
It otiIv grows enough Is certain to make all
those In whom It shows Itself move steadily
upward toward the highest standard of
American citizenship. It Is a proud snd
responsible rlvllege to be citizens of this
great self-governing nation; and each of
us need to keep steadily before his eyes
the fact that he is wholly until to take part
In the work of governing others unless he
can first govern himself. Hh must stand
up manfully for his own rights; he must
respect the rights of others; he must obey
the laws, and he must try to live up to
thoso rules of righteousness which . aro
above ami behind1 all laws. . '
Tills applies Just as pinch to .the' man of
greet wealth ns lo the man of small means;
to Ilia capitalist as to the wage-worker.
And us one practical point, let me urgo
that In the event of any iDfllculty, especially
If It Is what Is known as a labor trouble,
both sides show themselves willing to meet,
willing to consult and anxious each to treat
the other reasonably and fairly, each to
look at t!i other's siik of the chsc and to
do the other Justice If only this course
could le generally followed, . the chance of
Industrial disaster would l minimized. .
Fr, m IleHrr Manhood.
Now, my friends, I want to read you an
extract from U "-letter I have Just receded
from a t'atholic prh'.Bt whow 1 knoefwell
and whom 1 know to be a staunch a friend
of the laboring mitn as there Is to be fou.id
In this country. Now and then not loo
often It la a good thing for all of us to
hear what is not perhaps altogether pal
atable, provided only that the person who
tells the truth la our genuine friend, knows
Klmt he is talking aiiouL jlevcn though he
may not see all sides of the case), and tells
us what he has to say, not with a desire
to hurt our fengs, but with the trans
parent purpose to do us Wood. 'With ilila
foreword, hole la a part of the litter;
"I would humbly recununmu that you
lend your entire weight to the Cause which
the Catholic Total Abstinence in Ion of
Anieiica represents, and especially so in us
relation to the working classes of tiiis
country, for whom It Is doing so much
good. You know that the temperance move
ment Is a potent auxiliary to the Institu
tions of our cAmntvy .in building up a bet
ter manhood, 'and a truer. Christianity
among our citizens. It played a very im
portant part In the two coul strikes of lnoo
and 1IM2, resitrctlvely, by keeping the men
sober, and thus removing toe danger or
riotous and unbecoming conduct, 'lucre la
one discouraging feature connected Willi
the upward tendency of the wnge scale
among the workmen of this country. TUe
higher the wages, the more money they
spend in saloons. The shorter 'lie hours,
the more they are inclined to absent them
selves from home. An apparent disregard
for family ties Is growing among tha
poorer classes which will eventually lead to
a disregard for the blessings our country
affords them. Hence, with an Increase of
wagesta corresponding movement for bet
ter manhood, nobler citizenship and truer
Christianity should be set on foot. Tho
dignity 01 labor should be maintained.
which can be done only through the love
that a man should have for his work, and ,
through the Intelligence which he puts Into
It. A steady hand and sober mind are
c wnnii or iiuih inio
and sober mind are I
necessary for this. Hence, the necessity J
of the temperance cause and or the eiioria
which organized abstainers are putting into
the movement."
Now, In what la here written this priest
does not mean that the tendency is lo grow
worse; but he means that with shorter
hours and Increased wages there Is a tend
ency to go wrung which must be offset by
movements such as this great temcrance
movenient and similar efforts for social ami
civic betterment, or else the Increase In
leisure and money will prove a curse In
tes.l of a blessing. I strive never to tell

The hand of the Lord Is sometimes heavy
upon the Just as well as upon the unjust,
and In the life of labor and effort which
we must lead on this earth It is not always
possible either by work, by wisdom or by
upright behavior to ward off disaster. .But
i is most emphatically true mat toe
chance for leading a happy und prosperous
life Is Immensely Improved If only the man
is decent, sober. Industrious and exercises
foresight and Judgment. Let him re
member above all mat tile performance or
duty is the first essential to right living,
and that a good type of average family
life is the coiner stone of national happi
ness und greatness. No man can be a good
Citizen, can deserve the respect of his fel
lows, unless first of nil he Is a good man
In his own family, unless he does his duty
faithfully by his wife und children.
I strongly believe In trades unions wisely
a-.'. Justly handled, in which the rightful
purpose to benefit those connected with
them is not accompanied by a desire to do
Injustice or wrong to others. I believe in
the duty of capitalist and wage-worker to
try to seek one another out, to understand
each the other's point of view, and to en
deavor to ahow broad and kindly human
sympathy one with the other.
I lielieve In the work of these great tem
perance organizations, of all klndre(J move
ment like tho- Veung Men's and Voung
Women's Christian association, In short
1n every movement which strives to help a
man by teaching him how to help himself.
Hut most of all I believe in the efficacy of
the man himself striving continually to In
crease his own self-respect by the way in
which he does his duty to himself and to
bis neighbor.
John Mitchell's Address.
Ma. Mitchell said:
Speaking for the anthracite coal Workers,
I lake great pleasure In supplementing and
emphasizing the greeting and welcome ex
tended to the president of the L'nlted
Suites on behalf of the temperance societies
and the municipal government of Wllkes
barre. It Is not often that the chief ex
ecutive of a great nation has found the
time or yielded to the Inclination to honor
by his presence and to participate In a
meeting under -the auspices, of the men
who earn their living by the performance
of manual labor.
The visit of President Roosevelt to the
coal fields of Pennayl vanla as the guest
of the temperance nuclei lea and the Lulled
Mine Workers of America marks an epoch
in the civic, social and Industrial history
of this commonwealth. This occasion Is
one of peculiar significance to the men
for whom I have the honor to speak; It Is
one thut will be long remembered by them.
Imprinted Indelibly upon the hearts of the
miners Is the recollection of the long con
test they made and the great hardships
they endured In the year 19"2, a contest
brought to a happy termination through
the intervention of our distinguished guest.
It Is a pleasure to say that largely aa a
.result, of his efforts, and mainly as a con-,
seouenre of his action, the conditions of
life add lalajr among the anthracite mlne
workers nave ueen nnproveu anu in en
tire people of this community have en
Joyed an era of prosperity unprecedented
in the bl,story of the hard coal regions.
Antntcoulauia Are Dying.
It Is equally Important to say that many
of the bitter antagonisms and prejudices
of former years, both between the miners
and their employers, and even among the
mine workers themselves, have been slowly
but surely dissipated and the prospect of
pernanent and honorable Industrial peace
grows brighter day by day.
In the pusult of Its ideals trades unionism
has Justified its existence by good works
ana nign purposes, euowiy ana
gradually
it has progressed toward the fulfillment of
its mission
It has elevated the standard of
living of the American workmen and con
ferred upon him higher wages and more
leisure. It haa Increased efficiency, dimin
ished accidents, averted disease, kept the
children In school and improved the rela
tions between employer and employed. It
has conferred benefits, made sacrifices, and,
unfortunately, committed errors.
We believe It not unrtaaunable to ask
that we be Judged not by our faulta, but
rather by our virtues. To find justification
for. our existence or the policies to pursue
we do not rely on the claims we ourselves
make. Abraham Lincoln, In a speech de
livered at Hartford Conn., In lstio, while
addressing the striking shoe workers, said:
"Thank God, we have a system of labor
where there can be a strike. Whatever
the - pressure, there la a point where the
workmen may stop."
Wendell hiilllips Is quoted as having
said: "I rejoice af every effort workmen
may make to organize. I halt the labor
movement; It is rny only hope for democ
racy. Organize and stand together. 1-et
the nation hear a united demand from the
laboring voice." William K. Gladstone said:
"Trade unions are the bulwarks of mod
ern democracies." And so we might go
on with endless endorsements from the
great men of the world, whose hearts beat
In sympathy with their, struggling fellow
men. i , - ''
Hut we need not depend entirely on the
utterances of the immortal dead. We
have with us as our honored guest this day
a man whose name and deeds will live as
long as h republic shall endure one who
has on Innumerahlo Miccaslons spoken In no
uncertain terms In defense mf the right of
the workmen to organize, and haa so far
sul scribed to the constitution and princi
ples of modern trade unions hlmseli as to
accept honorary membership -in one of
them.
And how, Mr. President, may I again bid
you welcome? May 1 eapress.lhe hope that
your visit among us may prove aa pleasant
lo you aa il Is appreciated by us?

Ei-Senator Emilri Whan Asked About
Banning for Governor.
DID NOT ORDER THE FACT ANNOUNCED
Will Rot Fully Confess that He
Has Lost Msht Entirely of
the Varlona Reform
Parties.
"Ah, they don't know whr.t they are
talking about. 1 haven't told anybody
to announce me as a candidate for gov
ernor. They are Just talking."
Thla Is the humorous manner In which
R. F. Petttgrew, former senator from
South Dakota, met the question yester
day, "Is It true you are going to run
for governor of South Dakota on the re
publican ticket?"
In that Inimitable way of his, the for
mer companion of Charley Towne and
other silver republican leaders and erst
while populists smiled and said
"I am not In politics." when asked If
he had returned to his first love, the re
publican party.
It Is an open secret that- ever since
that blue Monday some Ave years ago
when, through a quiet tip from his good
friend, James J. Hill. Mr. Pettlgrew was
able to clean up tC5o,0O0 In the Burlington-
Northern Pacific tug-of-war, he has been
able to see less need for the services of
the populist, silver republican or demo
cratic parties.
' "But, senator, they do say you are going
to' be a candidate on the republican ticket
for the gubernatorial nomination," was
suggested.
Cannot Help It.
"I can't help what they say, can I?"
rejoined the whilom atatesnian, smiling
another of those knowing smiles native to
Fouth Dakota. "But I'll tell you ono
thing," he added, "the republicans know
who to be afraid of," and then he winked
one eye. "There's one thing sure; I have
been elected to office when I wanted to be."
"This Is an age of the literature of
exposure and the magazines are doing
somo good work." said the senator, by way
of variety. "It Is tho entering wedge that
will sooner or later destroy hide-bound
partisanship. Governor LaFollette of Wis
consin, Mayor Weaver of 'Philadelphia and
Governor Folk of Missouri arc types of a
hew era In our political economy that bode
well for the political future of the country.
Ida M. Tar be 1 1 and Lincoln Steffens are
both doing a good work, but true reform
must come from within ourselves. The
system of graft must be destroyed, root
and branch, and It Is Incumbent upon us
to uphold the men who are brave enough
to fight the dragon of graft In lta own
lair. I think this wave of warfare on
graft and corruption in high places la
destined to grow with resistless force until
official corruption will become so Intol
erable that we may yet hope for honesty,
and see the punishment of violators of
public trusts."
Mr. Pettlgrew was accompanied by Mrs.
Pettlgrew. They left for Salt Lake Thurs
day evening, where Senator Pettlgrew goes
to look after his mining Interests In that
vicinity, which are quite extensive.

ceedings. The purpose of the Russian
note was to make permanent record com
plete and make it show clearly the attitude
of the plenipotentiaries from the beginning
Of the conference.
General Discussion. Follows,
The official credentials were then ex
changed. As each side previously had an
opportunity to examine them, thla was
largely a matter of form. A somewhat
general discussion followed. In which Baron
Komura and M. Wltte spoke frankly of the
purpose of the meeting. The best of spirit
was manifested and the discussion widened.
Baron Rosen and Mr. Takahlra participa
ting, French and English being used. Dur
ing the course of the exchange it was
agreed that Baron Komura should Imme
diately present the 'Japanese terms and M.
Wltte promised to give a reply at the earli
est possible moment. In order to avoid
mlaundnrstfindlngs it was arranged that the
reply and all formal communications should
be made In writing. This understanding
having been reached Just before the ses
sion adjourned. Baron Komura handed the
document to M. Wltte, who thrust It Into
his pocket without opening It. While the
Japanese went to luncheon M. Wltte, with
M. Rosen, repaired to their rooms, wh,eie
they examined' the document on which so
much depended. A desire for expedition
was expressed on both sides. While It Is
hardly possible that the Russian reply can
be given at this afternoon's session, the
plenipotentiaries will remain at the navy
yard, the Japanese awaiting the pleasure
of their adversaries.
Assistants Are Barred.
Neither the Japanese or the Russian en
voys or aides wore the uniforms of their
rank today and it Is probable on account
of the heat that It will be decided to dis
card even formal civil attire for-negligee
apparel.
Among the Russian and Japanese dele
gates at the Wentworth there is a great
discussion about the acqulesence of M.
Wltte In the suggestion of Baron Komura
to exclude delegates from the conference.
Baron Komura raised a specific objection
to the presence of Prof. De Martens, whom
M. Wltte and Baron Rosen desired to have
In attendance In an advisory capacity, of
fering to agree to the presence of any of
the Japanese delegates. But the Japanese
declined, saying they should not ask for
the, presence of any of the delegates. M.
Wltte did not press the point, but it may be
raised again later should a basis of settle
ment be reached. Historical precedents are
In favor of the admission of delegates and
should the Japanese objection stand it
would, independent of Its bearings upon
the present negotiations, create a prece
dent by which an appeal might be made
In future.
In lnternatloral negotiations only the
plenipotentiaries are usually entitled to
sign whatever treaty or convention is con
cluded, but delegates frequently participate
In general discussion, and in some cases at
the conclusion of conferences are provided
with special credentials lo append their
signatures.
Historical I acres.
Mr. De Martens, for Instance, who was a
delegate at the peace conference of 1&99,
also presided at the meetings of one of
the sections which Included both plenipo
tentiaries and delegates, ninety-five persons
in all. At the end of the conference he
was clothed with the necessary powers to
sign theagreement. Another historical In
stance which Is quoted la that of the
African conference held In Berlin In 1S&4,
In which all the delegates participated.
Mr. Wilkin, accompanied by Commander
Boutakoft, the Russian naval attache, and
Captain Rousslne, the naval delegate, to
day went off In a steam launch to the
Dolphin and Mayflower and presented the
compliments of M. Wltte to Commanders
Wlnslow snd Gibbons. Commander Isham
and Mr. Takasugl paid similar visits on
behalf of Baron Komura,
Tsar Hereltlna Jap Terms.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
meeting M. Wltte set his secretaries ' to
work to put' Into cipher the conditions of
i peace prcstutcd by lieron Komura, which
are now being eahled to Pt. Petersburg, and
will be Immediately transmitted to the em
peror. M. Wltte personally will rut Into
cipher his own comment upon the char
acter of the condition and his views as to
what action had best be taken. While en
gaged In this Important task he retired to
one of the rooms set apart for the Rus
sian mission.
Only M. Korostovets of the Russian mis
sion returned from the navy yard to the
Wentworth fur the purpose of communicat
ing to the press about this morning's meet
ing. None of the Japanese secretaries or
plenipotentiaries have returned yet. .
The Japanese peace envoys left the naval
stores building at the navy yard in their
automobile shnrtlv ftr 5 n'eloek Imtlcat.
! Ing that the afternoon session of the con
ference had been abandoned. The automo
bile of the Russian envoys at thla time was
waiting at the doors of the building. The
Russian minister to Peking wss In consulta
tion with the Russian plenipotentiaries at
the navy yard during . the session today.
At 2:30 Mr. Sato Issued an official state
ment about this morning's meeting of the
conference Identical with that Issued by
M. Korostovets. The only difference was
the fotmer was In English, the latter In
French,
i
Russian Replies to Sate.
With regard to the frequent Interviews
with Mr. Sato and the other Japanese dele
gates which arc appearing In the press a
prominent personage belonging to M.
Wltte's suite made the following state
ment: Throughout the war the Japanese have
made all the efforts in their power to win
the press to their side. They have pro
ceeded In a fashion quite comprehensible
from their point of view, but less so from
that of tho public, which has swallowed
what they have pleased to furnish. Of
course tho people of all countries, in Amer
ica as well as in Russia, are readily suscep
tible to a propaganda of Idoas, no matter
how false they may be. . For instance, the
papers of the lost few days have contained
an Interview with Mr. Sato, In which he
says that Russia must pay a war Indemnity
hecause it Is at the end of its resources,
and that the Russian representatives, al
though making wry faces, will have to
pay even If the word Indemnity Is not used.
It Is not possible tn suppose that Mr. Sato
wilfully misstates facts and the most char.
Itable view is that he is badly Informed.
He probably does not know that Russia In
all her history never paid a war Indemnity.
She did not even pay an Indemnity to Na
polean the Great when, In 1812 with his
army, he Invaded Russia and entered Mos
cow. It is therefore difficult to suppose
that Russia will psy an indemnity to the
Japanese when the chief of tho army, Mar
shal Oyama, who, notwithstanding the re
spect due to him, is not Napolean the
Great. I p to the present, after a vear and
a. half, not only has he not entered Moscow,
but has not even reached the real Russian
frontier, Indeed In the last few months ho
baa remained near Gunshu Pass, more than
6e0 miles from that frontier, not daring to
attack General Llnevltch. Mr. Sato. In his
Ignorance, probably does not know that two
years after the entrance of Napolean Into
Moscow the Russian army, in 1S14. entered
larls and dethroned the great warrior.
The Russian representative added that he
did not say this to minimize the military
success obtained by the Japanese, but be
cause In his opinion it is not clever to
magnify these successes and try to make
a mountain out of a mole hill.
Wltte May Modify Concessions.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10,-Dlspatches
received here from Portsmouth Indicate
that Minister Pokotiloff s arrival has re
sulted In an important modification In M.
Wltte's views. M. Wltte la now willing to
make terms with ap4n, conditioned on the
surrender of the Chinese Eastern railway
between Harbin and Port Arthur, and to
satisfy any reasonable financial demand
provided Russia, Is permitted to retain
Sakhalin. These terms have been commu
nicated to Pejerhof and are satisfactory to
tho emperor.
Public sentiment in St. Petersburg shows
signs of changing to a pessimistic tone.
Decslve news frqm.' Portsmouth is awaited
most anxiously, especially, .as rumors are
In circulation that ,, the. Japanese . terms
are high and that-tss plenipotentiaries on
both sides will maintain a firm attitude.
These rumors have brought out a
reiteration of the opinion that Russia must
not under any- circumstances accept ,a
humllattng or a dishonorable peace or k
peace which would materially weaken Its
position In the far. east, The knowledge
that a national assembly will be promul
gated next Saturday Is being used a basis
for the argument tlmt the resultant Im
provement In the International situation will
place the cpuntry in a much better position
to continue the war.

STRIKERS APPEAL TO STATE
Charge that Bixty-Eight Esilwgy 8utions
in Minnesota Are Cloed
STATEMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT SIADE
Great Northern Railway Official Kays
Ninety Per tent of the Oper
ators Are Rack at
Work.
ST. PAt'L, Minn., Aug. 1ft Information
reached the governor's office late today of
the filing with the State Railroad and
Warehouse commission of a complaint by-
organized labor Interests that there are six
ty-eight stations closed along the line of
the Great Northern In Minnesota. It Is not
announced what action the Railroad and
Warehouse commission will take in tho
matter.
There will be no arbitration of the strike
of the telegraphers against the Great
Northern railway. Superintendent Blade
said: "Ninety per cent of our men have re
turned to work and we certainly will not
arbitrate with the other 10 per cent."
Following the receipt of the letter urging
arbitration, which was dictated by Gov
ernor Johnson last night, C. Bunn, general
counsel for the Northern Pacific railway,
had a lengthy conference with the Minne
sota executive today.
Beyond the fact that the conference had
to do with the strike sltuntlon, nothing
was given out by the legislative depart
ment. Governor Johnson this afternoon received
a letter from President Perham of the teleg
raphers, accepting his offer of arbitration
for the strikers. Mr. Perham writes: "I
am aware of the troubles being caused by
the telegraphers' strike and I desire to
bring them to an end as speedily as pos
sible. In behalf of the railroad telegra
phers. I endorse your suggestion In regnrd
to submitting the matter to arbitration, and
accept the tender of the officers of the ex
ecutive department to' bring about a settle
ment of the present difficulty."
Up to a late hour this evening Governor
Johnson had not received a reply to his let
ter to President Hill or President Elliott.

Aanlnst nobert A. Irvlnsr by
Kentucky Congressman.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10 Robert A. Irving,
publisher of the New Yorker, was arrested
today, charged with criminal libel. He was
about to start for Newport. Irving was
taken at once tp the criminal court house,
arraigned before Magistrate Breen and, In
default of $1,000 ball, was locked up In the
Tombs.
The complainant Is Congressman Rhlnock
of Covington, Ky., who some weeks ago
caused the arrest of Robert W. Criswell,
editor of the New Yorker, on a similar
charge. Criswell subsequently met with a
tragic death beneath a subway train.
The charge against Irving grows out of
the same article upon which. the prosecu

Chance of Irregularity Made
Aigalnat Dureau.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. In a signed
statement today, Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the weather bureau, Agricultural
department, denies that there has been
graft or other Irregularities In his bureau.
The allegations made against him In cer
tain newspapers related to the construc
tion and management of the station of the
weather bureau in the Blue Ridge moun
tains, Virginia, .known as Mount Weather,
and among other things charged him with
employing unskilled labor at 13 per day.
twice the amount paid ordinarily and four
times as much as paid for labor In the vi
cinity of the station. Prof. Moore declares
that no secret service agents have been at
work In his bureau and states that had the
persons circulating the stories examined
the payrolls of the bureau, which are open
to Inspection, they would have saved their
readers from "reading secretly secured
scandal Instead of openly procured news,"

these piers must be allowed to settle
thoroughly before the weight of the build
ing can be allowed to rest on them, a
condition necessary, before the remaining
dirt can be taken out and the concrete
foundation . completed. The Brandels
brothers are not pleased with the delay
and have asked H. F. Wyman. who has
charge of the New York Life building, to
say how long before the work will be
finished. Mr. Wyman has not yet replied.
