Kansas City, Mo., } Noy. 20.—Attend- ed by such ceremony as is seldom wit- nessed anywhere on the continent out- side of the seat of government, the Commercial club Monday night cele- brated the signing of the John Jay treaty by a banquet at the Midland hotel. It was the twelfth annual din- ner of the club, marking the nineteenth year of its own existence. To quote from the speech of the president of the Commercial club, Mr. O, V. Dodge, there were present in the banquet room “the premier of the country, one of the greatest rail- road presidents, a direct descendant of John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States; six diplomats from South American republics; members of our own army and navy; law makers and justices who are to interpret the laws; governors of con- tiguous states and representatives of Oklahoma, soon to be entitled to full representative on the flag.” The important occasion had ben am- ply provided for. distinguished guests from Washington and New York to Kansas City. The principal interest centered in the speeches of Secretary Root and representatives of South American countries present on a mission to pro- duce closer commercial relations with our southern neighbors, Mr. Root spoke in part as follows: “Since John Jay made the in foreign affairs. ; European affairs. of colonial life, ' Louisiana, age tribes under foreign eign diplomacy; and western borders were the exhaustive Napoleonic | had begun to absorb the surplus ac- we turned our atten- , tion to our own internal | for a long period ceased to take jhote of what was going on in which it might affect us. again on the tive enterprise kind. earth. time. as truly as individual citizens, other countries, ‘rest’ of mankind—all these make, an individyal man despised and | 4) hated in his community.
