tens who were taking too active a part
In Jeering passing cars. He told them that
as they were In no way connected with the
strike they could stay out and refrain
from abuse. He advised them that If they
wished to show sympathy they could do
It much better than by hooting. He said
a better plan was to send a few dollars to
the relief fund, which must toon be drained

guished In appearance, president of the
Yokuhoma Chamber of Commerce, Presi
dent Toft exrhanged many pleasant recollections-
of former associations In Japan.
"Mrs. Tuft and I remember Yokohama
especially well," declared the president.
'and -ve still value most'tiighly the silver
service which waa presented to us by the
Chamber of Commerce there and which we
continue now to use at the White House.
Whenever Mrs. Taft serves tea. that silver
make her the envy of all the matrons that
come to the White House."
Speech of Baron Shlbnsawa.
Baron Shlbusawa, In the course of his
address, said:
This Is one of the proudest moments of
my life. It has been our good fortune to
be Introduced to your president and h has
been so kind and so gracious that we ail
Individually feel honored and thank .him
from the bottom of our hearts. '
"W beg also to offer our sincere thanks
to you, our distinguished hosts, the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce of Min
neapolis for your magnificent hospitality
and for the valued opportunity you hay
so kindly afforded us of meeting your
chief magistrate for whom we Japanese
entertain the deepest respect as one of the
foremost men of the age and more espe
cially as a warm and true friend rf Japan.
"May the strong ties of friendship that
now so happily bind together the two
nations grow still stronger as years roll
on and may their friendship be forever
baaed on mutual resp-ct and on common
regard for Justice and peace for the good
of humanity at large."
Address at President Taft.
Tha president said:
"I say what la only in the heart of
everyone who hears m that we are all
delighted to welcome this Influential,
highly Intelligent and most charming com
pany of our Japeneae friends. They have
In this company of fifty men, business men
of acute Intellects, men of far-seeing com
mercial experience, and I warn the Ameri
can merchant and the American manu
facturer that what they show to the
gentlemen, they will well avail themselves
of In this friendly controversy, and friendly
commercial contest between th two na
tions. 'They are her on a pleasure trip, but
they belong to a thorough nation and they
will carry back with Uiem all th useful
knowledge that on such a visit could
possibly be gained. Now, I do not regret
that. I hope they will take back all th
leaaona possible, and I hope It will make
Japan, If possible, more prosperous and
nor energetic and widen Its commercial
and manufacturing Interests.
"I am not on of those who bvliev thai
It la wis to keep back the progress of
your neighbor In order that your own
progress may b great We have much to
learn from Japan, and they have much to
learn from us, but at w improve both
leaaona, and as w grow to be greater in
eommcrct and In business, w shall grow
to b greater customers each of th other.
CUat4 Idea Played .
"The old colonial Idea that It waa neces
sary to keep dependsncte in a state f
tutelage so tbat their peeple did not know
th price at which they ought to set
goods. In order that lb home governments
might get thing at a cheap prio and sell
thera at a high price ta a gam that work
a llttl while, but 1 th end It doe pa
good to. each party.. And so It la a
between nations. The development of eaoii
la for th benefit ef the other. If friendly
relations continue and those oummarciaj
CaovcnUuua exist between '.h-m that ought
to exist between friendly nation.
"It (ives Hi 'vaJ plobAOi uf a very
acute character to meet these representa
tive of Jspan. It has been my good
fortune six or seven times to visit that
wonderful country and to enjoy the
hospitality of that wondTful people. You
cannot visit there once without having a
deep Impression made upon you and you
can Imagine the Impression t have In hav

Japan Preparing for Contest.
"Japanlsergsgedlnatontest. I. engaged tATJT0 USED TO TOW MACHINE
n a struggle I had si most said, but 11
I
won t say It, because it Is not
correct
expression In a war, and Is preparing It-
seir for It. That struggle, and that con
test Is In the development of Its resources
and- the making of Its people a great suc
cessful and commercial nation. It has
proven Its ability on the field of battle
It has shown what can "be done by thor
oughness of preparation and courage and
careful deliberate steps In th direction of
It ambition In the defense of Its right
nd of the maintenance of Its prestige on
the field of battle.' ' '
'But It is not engaged In that now. It
is preparing for victories of peace, and In
that we all hope It may be successful. Vt e
are not going to yield ourselves in that
controversy If we can help It. We are
entering the contest, and I hope will strip
ourselves , of some nonsensical . Ideas that
we hava had heretofore in that contest In
order that we. may make greater stride
than we have made heretofore In the
orient and In other distant countries.
Hint to easiness Men.
The truth Is. If I may say so; being ait
American our business men are a little bit
concerned over their tremendous success
with the trade they have at home, and
therefore, they have not given as much
attention as they might and as other coun
tries give, to the wishes and tastes of cus
tomers in far distant lands. They are a
little disposed to eay, "Welt, these are the
site that we make, and the? are th
patterns that our looms turn out. and now.
If these foreigners have not sense enough
to take them as we make them, why, they
can leave them.' That Is all right, gentle
men, when the foreigners cannot get any
other than those looms and that kind
of goads, but If they can and do find other
countries that are wining to manufacture
to ault their tastes, 'why, the Americans
are 'going to be second, or third or fourth
in the race. But we are acquiring sense
In the advance of our business Interests,
and I warn ;our Japanese friends that while
e may be a little slow In getting to.
work 'and In understanding what we) have :
to, do. we will be etriptag ourselves In g
while and they must took out.
I Toast t Rnaperor. ; i-,
It gives me now great pleasure to pro
pose a toast to a personage, who lit his life
and in the service to his people has shown
devotion and a remarkable ability for
selecting the men with which the wonder
ful advance of the Japanese has been made
possible, and In government there is no
ability higher than the power to select the
right men to do the right thing. I propose
toast to a warm and sincere friend Of
America, to a monarch whom It has been
my high honor to know personally and to
b entertained In the most hospitable man
ner, to a ruler who has devoted all his
life to the benefit of hi people and to
their success, his Imperial majesty, the em
peror of Japan. Bansal."

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Sept. l.-(Sp-clal.)
Thursday waa banner day at the
Custer county fair, hundreds of- strangers,
from up and down the line mingled with
the resident sightseers, crowding the spa
clous grounds to their utmost capacity.
The attendance waa placed at 10, (W0, the
largest crowd that has ever been on the
grounds. An almost perfect program was
somewhat marred by th failure of Prof.
Ulrlch 8o re risen to successfully navigate
bis new airship.
The Berwyn aviator ran up against a
genuine streak of hard luck, and the
huge kite he has worked so faithfully on
for three months went th way of Its
predecessor and la now a thing of the
past. Sorenson originally Intended giving
a "hair raising" demonstration by tow
ing the new aeroplane to a height of 1,004
feet by means ut a balloon and then cut
ting loose as he did on a previous occa
sion, but owing to the danger involved,
President Sullivan of th board of man'
Agers refused to allow It. Sorensen then
procured a high power motor oar, at-'
tached the aeroplane to It by means of 'a
long towing Una, and aeatlng himself in'
a cage of crossed wires signalled to the
chauffeur of th auto to start at full
speed. As there was no wind to speak
of the big kite slid along the ground for
some distance, then slowly raised Itself to
a height of twenty feet, where it acted
very decently for a few seconds. Then ,
sudden jerk of the motor caused It to dip
sideways and duck; th left wing struck
th ground with terrlflo force, collapsing
the machine Ilk a bouse of cards.
Quickly as possible the aviator was ex
tricated from a Jumble of canvas and
twisted wire; for th second time In three
months It was found that he had escaped
death with only a few bruises. The aart-
'plane' Is a complete wreck, but the'
doughty Dane still retains his nerve arid
say he will immediately set about build
ing another and stronger machine.

STATEMENT BY MR. WATTLES
President of trret Railway Company
Olvea His Side of the
. Cnnse.
'The public has a right to know who Is
to blame for . tha street car strike. I assert-that
It. was brought on by. two
agitators, who came here from the east,
Mr.-Pratt and Mr. Commons. In proof of
this assertion I publish in full on another
page all. that was said and -lone at the
last and only meeting I had. with tha com
mittee from the union, at which their so
called grievance ' were ' discussed -with
union men only present. "
' "A court reporter took down th pro
ceedings. Let the pub'llo read them and
decide whether or not a strike was Justi
fied, jon the report of th proceedings of
this meeting. Remember that the . trlk
was called without further conference on
the report of .the. committee, as the result
of tills meeting..
"The publication of thla verbatim report
pf all? that was said by the members of tha
committe and myself at this meeting will
serve the further purpose of nailing a few
lies that have been told about what hap
pened at this meeting. The stenographer
was called In for the very purpose of
preventing false statements about what
was said on this most Important occasion.
For Instance It has been stated that I told
the men that I called the city officials
"city hall grafters." Let them read for
themselves and see If this is true. It has
been said and repeated that I did not want
union. men to work for the street . railway
company. Read the. reoorrt and decide
whether or not this statement, la true.
"It Is said that I refused to accede to any
of the demand's of the employes. Let the
record answer.
"It Is claimed that every promise of the
street railway company rnade to the men
during the last seven'' yars 'has been
Violated.- Read the record and then decide.
"I charge that this strike was Incited by
two labor agitators- who cam her from
the east for that very purpose. ' Mr. Pratt
before the Business Men's association
stated that he would read a communica
tion, which I had written to a' labor union
leader of the city, before the men without
comment. I have been told by several
reliable employes who were present .that
he made Impassioned speeches Just before
the vote on a strike we taken. In which
he called me by many vll epithets and in
which he urged tha men to strike. Let the
facts be known.
'Will someone who attended the strikers'
meeting let the publlo know whether or
not he preached the gospel of peace or
war. Respectfully,
"QURDON W. WATTLES."

In th evening. But most of the morning

so far a could be learned, and In many
cases worshipers walked blocks to attend
divine service.
A large congregation braved the neces
sary Inconvenience of walking many block
to hear Rev. John E. Hummon of tho
Kounta Memorial Lutheran church,
Twenty-sixth avenue and Farnam street.
deliver a discourse upon "Unanswered
Prayer."
Th pastor took as bis text the oft
quoted passage from th eleventh chapter
of the Gospel pf Luke, "Ask and ye shall
receive; seek and y shall find; knock and
It shall be opened unto you," and based
upon It a sever arraignment of those
pseudo Christians who, to quota the pas
tor, "Pray mightily for something that It
IS eminently unfitting they should receive,
then when the prayer is seemingly denied,
cry out that God is untrue, and the words
of th Bible are misleading."
"In order for prayer to be efficacious,"
he continued, "it must be devout and con
tlnuous and accompanied with works."
He used th context, the story of the bread
and the stone, the father and the son, to
demonstrate the necessity for a loving and
filial relationship.
"Often th thing for which we pray jnight
prove most harmful to us, and In case at
length our , prayers are not granted, we
should so consider It."
Th pastor announces that th entlr In
debtedness of the church had been met by
voluntary contributlona last Sunday.
The women of the church are to meet
next Friday afternoon In the church par
lors to make preparation for a Christmas
baxa'r to be held some ttme In November.
WHEN CHRISTIAN 18 A CHRISTIAN
One May Profess, Yet Not Posses the
Right Life.
When a Christian Is a Christian" was
the subject of th discourse of Rev. Ralph
H. Houseman at Castellar Presbyterian
church Sunday morning.
"One may be a professed Christian, yet
not possess th life of a Christian." he
said. "Religion Is a thing of the heart, a
spiritual thing. It is a requirement of self-
knowledge of the death spiritual to the
life spiritual. Do you love your brethren?
Do you love one another?
"Life Is to be judged by its loves. The
worldly spirit may temporarily project it
self Into our lives, but the true professors
of th Christian life are those that are In
possession of th true Christian spirit.
"It does not always follow that mere
church membership constitutes the full ele
ments of Christianity. Yet th church
member knows whether he is a Christian.
The reformation of a man doea net take
the place of his regeneration. Reformation
Is not regeneration. Regeneration Is the
Incorporation of a new element Into your
life, meaning a aplrltukl life.
'It means that you are possessed of a
desire to become better, a desire to please
God In the things and realities of life.
There Is a difference between growing In
grace and growing Into grace; The test
Is In the completion of your convictions
rather than in your feelings.
In our Christian Uvea let us feel that
our hearts are true to God. Less than this
we are not true Christians. A Christian
is a Christian when he has tha assurance
he Is governing his life according to his
convictions, not of th world, worldly, but
of the holy attributes. A man open to con
viction Is ready to acknowledge his weak
ness and ask more of God's spirit. The
worldly life may fluctuate, but convictions
of the Christian life are not disturbed.
'To be a Christian on must be a ser
vant of God, a soldier of Jesus Christ. He,
too, must be a disciple of Christ. We are
the children of Ood when w attain the
Christian life. God Is our Father habit
ually." 'I b Ureat John Gantner" at th

Mr. George Fawcelt
Whenever a playwright Is wise enough
to take economics as the theme and not
merely as the setting for a play, we may
pciHHibly get a great business play. Prob
ably not before. Economics us a setting
Is sordid enough, and that is the trouble
with the "Great John Ganton," Its faults
are the, natural result of Its setting, and
Its virtue are all brought In from affairs
off th subject,
- As a character actor George Fawcet Is
remarkable. He ptaye with throughness
and sincerity. A number of striding man
nerisms used In the portrayal of the hard
headed old man of business arc original
enough to seem strange at first, but be
come gradually familiar and impressive.
The head of the stock yards company with
his old fashioned prejudices and manners,
and his gruff disregard of everything but
business and his family, Is a character not
unknown on the stage, and Mr. Fawcett
achfevea real success In making him in
dividual and striking.
The others in the company are all actors
of merit, particularly Allen Fawcett a.
Browning, the magnate's secretary; Thurs
ton Hall aa Will Ganton, tha son; Fsnchon
Campbell aa May Keating, ths mouse who
defies the lion, and Klsle Scott as Mrs.
Jack Wilton, a society cynic.
The very excellent company does Its best
to make the first act interesting, which Is
difficult aa the real action does not begin
until th climax of the second. After thai
th lines cease being dull and are worth
while. .
As a business discussion th play doesn't
amount to mueh. If It claims to be a
problem play of any sort It failed, as the
Interesting parts of It com in the con
sideration of its prinaipal proogea as
attraotlv characters, wholly without signi
ficance except as human beings. A few

the piece gets to Chicago It will be all
right. As it is. It has a' little something

It Is because it Is too liberal. A Ae'init
