of thif celebration of the twenty-fifth sn
nlverssry of the Sivtnnth Board of Trad,
celebrated hera yesterdsy. was a largely at
tended banquet tonight at which Secretary
- Oscar 8. 8traus, of the Department of
Cnmmeirce and Dahnr waa a guest and
speaker.' Cither distinguished visitors were
present and responded to toasts. They
were Governor Hoke Bmlth, whole subjsct
waa The Btate of Georgia. " Congress-

Perils of Cape Hatteras," Hon. James

J. Hampton Moore, Philadelphia, "The At
lantic Coaat Waterway," and Federal
Judge Emory Freer, couthern district of
Georgia, "The President of the United
States."
"Our Commercial Age," waa the subject
of Secretary Straus, who aid In part:
(eorala's Koaadatlon Philanthropic.
Georgia waa founded In a military age,
find no colony In ancient or In modern
limea had a nobler beginning or a more
philanthropic founder than the colony of
Georgia, it waa the first great effort to
alleviate the social ami economic condi
tion of the poorer claases. The people the
great Oglethorpe brought with him, and
those who followed In ls path, had been
, racked and crushed some by economic op
pression, others by religious persecution.
The rulnnlsts, though coming from differ-
' ent countries of the old world Britons,
Moravians and Bsliburscrs were welded
together by a common )irltaga of Buffer
ing. Ky the direction of Oglethorpe, both
slavery and rum were prohibited. Havan
nah began aa a dry town, and 1 understand
you have recently reverted. In honor of
of the principles of your founder, to Us
primeval dryness. Ho history repeats leself
oh, what woea unnumbered tnlalit have
been spared tlie whole aniitheland If the
cardinal principles of Oglethorpe could
liHVe been preserved and extended. He
; knew, aside from all humanitarian con
Kidrratlone, what slavery and militarism
mount. They dignified idleness and degraded
, productive occupations. One of the great
est blessings of our Industrial and com
mercial age is that fact that It has digni
fied Inbsr, and In dignifying labor hsa un
locked th mainspring uf personal tnllatlve,
energy and cntnerpilsc, which lie at the
ba.isi of our wonderful growtli and pro
Pf'rlty. The example of the people of the Vnlletl
Slate, not only in the liberty they enjoy,
h it In enfranchising the orklnginan. and
l giving him tin. material rewards of la
bor, aa well as the honors that true merit
deserves, baa wielded a powerful Influence
In every civilised land. Hurons, counts,
flukes and lords come to us from foreign
lands, and crave the hands of tho fli
, daughters of nur captains of Industry, hiii
ill not even reject the millions that their
lathers, the homy-handed sons of toll, have
accumulated.
Commerce ass vtrally.
The class engaged In Mustry and com

will. Commerce ihrlves along ilie high
ways of ieace. and It speaks the universal
language of pence. No agency is Working
mom steadily toward the Ideals of Inter
national peace than the HKCnel.s of com
merce. Appreciating nil this as J do. and
apprecluting ulso that tint Ideal condition
for all nations would be to save the mil
lions that w are now spending on armies
end navies and use them In promoting the
economic welfare of the masses, vet so
long as other nailons. though progressing
toward Hint Ideal, are far from lis reali'-
tnllon, a great country such as ours, with I
such a tremendous seacoaat and with gte:it I

Oxuinerelal Development of Honth.
The conimerclnl development nf the south
as distinguished from the production of
agricultural staples. Is of comparatively
recent growth, and for that reason all the
more, remarkable. i,et me cite a few ex
amples. Since 1ST0 the fallwaya of the
south have grown from 12.BI n to 61. ti 0
miles; In other words, they have practlca ly
quintupled In length, while those of tha
other parts of the I'nited States have only
quadrupled. Take the cotton manufactur
ing Industry. In the same period of time It
grew from lll.um.tsffl to $lt;!.(Ki.o 0. In the
same period t lie value of all manufactures
produced in the south has grown from
-'78,ono.W to l.6M.OuO,Uoo, nearly double aa
much In percentage as the rest of the
country, in the period from 19J0 tp lunfi,
the number of national banks and Indi
vidual deposits in national batiks have in
creased mure than int) per cent, while thn
, depoella in the banking Institutions of the
country aa a whole have Increased only no
per cent. In the state uf Georgia the
growth haa been equally gratifying. To take
a few examples, the value of cotton man
ufactures from 1870 to imifi has grown from
1.1 5UC,.o to ta.,000,010, and the total value
of manufactures during the aame period
lias grown from 11 .(Xift.OiH) to $lal.(,0).0u0 and
the value of exports passing out of this
port of Savannah has grown from 130.000 -M
in 170 to more than 63,(M0,OjO In tha
fiscal year 107.
Now. I have referred to this, not to glor
ify your greatness, but rather to direct
your attention to tuture possibilities. Great
as this grow til has been, your opportunity,
for the future will ctrtalnly be largely in
creased by the construction and opening of
the Panama canal. The market for cotton
goods in Ijitin America amounts to l -

canal the entire Paciric frontage of I.atln
America, the total Imports of which amount
to more than Ji; W.Ono.iKO, will afford attrac
live markets for you.
Heelproctty In Trade,

of F.urope. and by twice crossing tlie At
lantic ocean. There Is a hill now before
congress, the putnose of which is to ex
tend this subvention so as to make it ef
f.etle In reaching the markets on this
continent ami along the Paciflu ocean,
namely, to give thn samn postal subven
tion that is provided for under the law of

waters, or in other words, to give H a ton
per mile to vessels of the second class on
routs 4."0 miles or mote In length, out
ward voyage, to Mouth America, to tne
Philippines, to Japan, to China, and to
Australasia. To accomplish this will re
quire at the outside no more than the profit
that tho government Is now making on its
foreign mall contracts. In other words,
tho actual cost to the government last year
of the ocean-mall service to foreign coun
tries, other than Canada and Mexico, was
In round numbers ,1.dH),ono, while the pro
ceeds realised by the government from
pnetauo between tho I'nited States and
foreiitn countries, other than Canada and
Mexho, was a little In excess of W.mm.mjo,
leaving a profit to the t'nlted States of a
little In excess of $3.0iP.oio per annum.
In other words, the commerce of the
country yields to the government this 14
iMi.Oio In postage nlone. and all that is
asked Is thai tills H.ono.noo he devoted to
extending the commerce of the country In
American bottoms under the American flag.

The need of auxiliary vessels In time oft
war for military service is Indlsneusabln,
both for the'army and the navy. Not many
months ago it became necessary to dis
patch a small force of American troops to
Cuba., They were sent under the British
flag. Tho peaceful and magnificent voy
age that our powerful fleet of warships is
linw making from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific would have been Imiwrted, II not made
prohibitive, unless we had secured tha
shelter of foreign flags to carry the neces
sary coal.
This, my friends. Is not a party question
In any sense, of the word. It Is a question
affecting the commerce ot tne enure roun
try, Its mail service, and the necessities
of the nation, and to insure adequate naval
protection in time ot war.
Labor and Immigration.
For the proper development of your In
dustries you need an adequate supply of
the best kind of labor, and in order to
obtsln that supply you must make the
standard of wage attractive to that class,
to the skilled and enterprising Immigrants
that continually come to us from foreign
shores. It Is rather the vogue now to
speak against the Immigrants and Immi
gration, forgetting what we are and what
we owe to the S.onO.OOO willing workers that
have come to us In the past Po yegrs to
develop the great, possibilities of this coun
try and make us the great nation that we
are. All honor to the descendants of the
puritan and pilgrim fathers, but in honor
ing them let ua not withhold our high ap
preciation and meed of praise for the Im
migrants who have come to us In the suc
ceeding decades, to them and to their chil
dren, who In peace and in war have proved
no lens true and noble Americans than
those who proceded them In time, hut did
not surpass them In the love of our com
mon country. Yes. we welcome the Im
migrant to our country, the self-respecting
and honcat-minded alien, no matter from
what country ho comes, who is willing to
share with us not only the blessings but
also the duties and responsibilities of our
great country; but they, as Nwell as all of
our people, must understand thut in this
land of liberty, equality, and Justice there
is no room for socialism, communism,
collectivism, or any other form of "ism"
than Americsnism, which rests upon the
Ten Commandments, Tho Declaration of
Independence, and the constitution of the
I'niUd States.
MACBETH LACKED STAMINA
Easily Persuaded to lo Wrongf,
Says Hev. J. Xarver
Gartner.
nev. J. Narver Gortner delivered a lec
ture on Macbeth'1 to the Sunday school
of the McCabe MetnVdlst church' Friday
evening, when the church was crowded
with both members of the Sunday school
and parents. Paying his tribute to tho
famous character of Shakespeare, lie v.
Mr. Gartner said:
"Macbeth was a man who was easily
persuaded to do wrong. He does not
seem to have possessed very much stamina,
very much moral vigor, very much back
bone. He seems to have been very de
fective in will power. It Is possible that
he could as easily have been persuaded
to do right and be a man had he had
the right kind of Influence as he was to
do wrong and bring upon himself dishonor
and ignominy and disgrace.
"Men who have will power, men who can
not be hired to do what their conscience
tells them Is wrong, men who cannot be
coerced lr.to wrong doing or scared out
of the right course or persuaded to take
eve l a single step In the wrong direction,-such
men the world needs today.
And the world has such men. I have such
a man la my mind at this moment. I sm
proud of the fact that I belong to the
same iace and tho same continent and
tha some country to which he belongs.
He occt'pics a prominent position In this
country, a position to which he has been
elevated by the suffrages of his fellow
clttsens. He is a man of principle, a man
of nobility of purpose and Integrity of
heart. We have confidence in him. Ho
believes In a square deal for everybody,
for the rich and for the poor alike, for
capital and for labor, ' for great and for
small. And the people of the t'nlted States
would like to keep him where he is fot
another f residential term. A greater man
has never occupied the white house In
Washington or held the reins of govern
ment beneath tha folds of the star apangled
banner. Long live Theodore Roosevelt,
the great, the unique, the inimitable, the
"peerless Roosevelt! and long live the prln
ciples, the honesty, the Integrity, the square
deal, the nobility of character for which
Theodore Roosevelt stands today!"

such protesting mass meetings.
Another communication was read from
the Boot and 6ho Workers Union of
America, asking for a night in the revival
meetings at which they intend giving a
moving picture exhibition of labor In the

unions be notified in that respect.
FIRE RAGING INHANNA MINE
No Attempt Will Be Made to Enter
It for Probably a

CHEYENNQ Wyo., April t- General
Superintendent Bradbury of tha Union Pa
cific Coal company, who passed through
here today from Ilinna, where he had been
Investigating the disaster which resulted
from two explosions In Mine No. 1 lsst
Saturday, said that in all likelihood no
attempt would be made to again enter
the mine in search of bodies for many
days. The mine has been sealed until fire
and gas are eradicated.
Mr. Bradbury said that the company
will recover the bodies of the dead In
spite of all obstacles, but that the mine
would be closed until it was safe for
rescuers to enter.
Noah Yoyng, state mine inspector for
the northern district , of Wyoming, as
also here today. He said that conditions
In Mine No. 1 are infinitely worse than
after the disaster five years ago and the
worst lie haa ever seen In any mine. Fire
Is still raging, he aald, and afterdamp Is
noticeable within ten feet of the opening
of the mine. He says that no further at
tempt should be made to go inside for at

When Charles Marlowe determined upon
his fares, "When Knights Were Bold,"
he hsd before him the expedience of Mark
Twsln and Bill Nye and several others
who have ventured to link modern Ideas
and ancient Institutions, and get a lot
of fun out of the combination. In his play
Mr, Marlowe has taken a most matter-of-fact
man of ths twentieth century and
had him fall In love ,with a girl whose
mind seems centered on the men and events
of the twelfth. She dins at him continually
that ha Is neither heroic nor romantic, as
were his ancestors, and especially his
reverened namesake, who founded the
house. After one ef these Interviews the
pestered man lies down to take forty
winks while his room Is being aired and
warmed, and under the Influence of all
tho lecturing he has received, dreams that
time' has turned backward 710 years, and
all but himself-are turned back with
it. He alone retains modern garb and
modern .ideas. The effect of his cigarette
and friction match on his assembled re
tainers Is absurd enough, but quite natural,
seeing, as he explains to himself, that Sir
Walter Raleigh has not as yet Introduced
tobacco into England His Jester Indulges
is some Jests that are still In current cir
culation, and the 'abbess of a nearby nun
nery, together with her charges flees to
him for protection. It happens that one ot
these Is the fair Rowena, for whose love
he Is pining. They have been driven from
their abode by Brian Ballymote, who Is
his rival in love and war. Into his pres
ence are brought Isaac of York and his
beautiful daughter, only In this Instance
her name Is Sarah, He recognizes them
as guests at his castle,, whom he last saw
Just before he went to sleep. In spite of
the demands of the gentle Rowena that
the arl be put to death as a witch, and
the further demands of a certain Peter the
Friar, that Isaac be tortured until he pays
tho ransom required, and then be burned
at the stake, the hero orders the release
of the Jews, and gets in return the curse
of Rome from the friar. For this he
punches the friar In the paunch, kicks him
unceremoniously shout the ramparts, and
finally grabs a pike from a retainer and
runs th contumacious friar off the preni
Iscs. Soon a herald comes with defiance
from Sir Brian, and Sir Guy that's tho
hero's nama accepts it, and a duel to the
death Is soon on. Clad in armor, Sir Guy
doesn't put up much of a fight, although
ha stands off Sir Brian. But he disarms
himself, and, clad only In a dinner suit,
minus the coat, attacks the gigantic
boaster, and punches him into submission.
And the curtain goes down on one ot the
most ludicrous scenes Imaginable, with the
audience shrieking from laughter. In the
third act matters are set to rights,
Mr. Wilson has more opportunities as Sir
Guy than any of his recent plays have at
forded him, and he takes full advantage ot
all. II is merely required to be matter-of-fact
and seriojus, while the others are nag
ging him about his ancestry, and to carry
his twentieth century sense of the fitness
of things into the midst of a family group
of the latter days ot the twelfth century,
to make an Immense amount of fun. In
one or two little capers he shows that
those famously funny legs of his have not
forgotten their eloquence, but might caper
as cleverly as ever If occasion required.
His drollery at times Is delicious, and his
comedy, even In ths farcical movement of
the second act, IS not forced. He Is simply
Francis Wilson at his very best.
Mr. Wilson has the support of a very
capable company. Miss Roland shows a
capacity for comedy beyond the ordinary
She is charming as Rowena, especially In
the second act. Miss Gorder and Miss Bruns
are also responsible for much of the success
of the play. The men In the cast are all
good. Tha piece Is beautifully staged, the
picture gt the close of the first act showing
the beginning of the dream, being a most
effective Illustration of the idea, and one
that received warm approval last night.
The audience at the Boyd, which fairly
wall filled the theater, registered its verdict
of approbation In line with the general
course of playgoers throughout the country.
It surely deserves all that haa been said
In way of commendation. A matinee this
afternoon and a performance this evening
ends the engagement.

story of the play is woven around the life
of an octoroon girl born In slavery, and Is
fairly well staged. v The production closes

The Cook County Pemaoraoy will have to

That was the sentiment of the crowd of
Jims that fathered at the Fifteenth street
headquarters last night to whip up en
thusiasm and ginger up the lukewarm.
Official badgea wer. aelected for the
members to wesr to Denver, red, while
and blue umbrellas ordered bought and a
train of from ten to twenty cars talked
about, nut the main feature of the even
ing was the christening of the Dahlman
band. But with all the enthusiasm and all
the music and all the good words from the
mayor, there was a "fly in Hit beer." It
was th Insulting German cartoon pub
lished In the World-Herald. The matter
was not discussed formally, but Informally
there was comment and It came out like
hissing steam.
"Too bad; too bad," was the comment
of George Rogers and that waa the mildest
thing said about It.
"German democrats will not stand for
such an' Insult," said another, "but they
will charge it up to Mr. Hitchcock, and
not the party, thank goodness ."
"My wife said 'Hitchcock isn't going to
run for congress. Is lie?' I asked her why.
and she merely pointed to that cartoon,"
said another.
But barring that the meeting was con
sidered up to the standard by the regulars.
