The mechanism of modern business is as del- 1cate and complicated as it is vast, and nothing would be more productive of evil to all of us and especially to those least well off in this world’s goods that ignor- t meddling with this mechanism, and cve all, if the meddling was done in a irit of class or sectional rancor. It is desirable that this power should be pos- sessed by the nation, but it is quite as desirable .that the power should be ex- ercised with moderation and self-r straint. The first exercise of that power hould be the securing of publicity among 1l great corporations doing an _inter- state business. The publicity, though non-inquisitorial, should be real and thorough as to all important facts with which the public has concern. The full zht of day is a great discourager of evil. Such publicity would by itself tend to correct the evils of which there is just complaint and where the alléged evils are imaginary it would tend to show that was the case. When publicity is ined it would then be possible to see what further should be done in the way of regulation. DISTRUST CURE-ALLS. “Above all, it behooves us to remember that not only ought we to try to do what we can, but that our success in doing it depends very much upon our neither at- tempiing nor expecting the impossible. Distrust the man who offers with a pat- ent cure-all for the evil of the body poii- tic, just as you would distrust him who tries to sell you a medicine to cure all the diseases of your corporal bodies. ‘Mankind has moved slowly upward through . the ages, sometimes a \little faster, sometimes a little slower, but rarely indeed by leaps and bounds. At times a great crisis comes in which a great people, perchance led by a great man, can at white heat .strike some mighty blow for the right—make some | long stride in advance "along the path of | orderly liberty and justice. But normally we must be content if each of us can do something, by no means all that we wish, | but still something—for the advancement of those principles of righteousness which underlie all real national greatness, all real civilization. SOLVING THE PROBLEMS. *“I see no promise of a complete solution for ail the problems if we group together when we speak of the trust question.. But we can make a beginning in solving these problems, and a good beginning, if only we approach the subject with a suffi- clency of resolution, of honesty and of that hard common sense which is one of the most valuable and unfortunately not one of the most common assets in the equipment of any people, “I think the national administration has shown its firm intention to epforce the Jaws as they now stand on the statute books without regard to persons, and I think that good will come from this en- forcement. I think further that addition- al legislation should be had and can be had which will enable us to accomplish | much more than has been accomplished along these lines. No one can promise a perfect solution, at least in the im- medjate future, but something has al- ready been done, and much more can be done if we temperately and determinedly will that it shall be done. “In conglusion, let me add one word. While we are not to be excused if we fail to do whatever is possible through the agency of government, we must ever keep in mind that no action by the Gov- ernment, no action by any combination among ourselves can take the place of the individual qualities to which, in the Jong run, each man must owe his success. There has never been devised, and there never will be devised, any law which will enable a man to succeed save by the ex- ercise of those qualities which have al- ways been the prerequisites of success— the qualities of hard work, of keen intelli- gence, of unflinching will. No action by the state in any form can do more than supplement the initiative of the individ- ual, and ordinarily the action of the state can do no more than to secure to each in- dividual the chance to show, under as fa- vorable conditions as possible, the stuff of which he is made.” HORSESHOE ON THE ENGINE. WILLIMANTIC, Conn., Aug. 23.—Pres- jdent Roosevelt, after spending the night at the home of John T. Robinson;.at Hait- ford, to-day resumed his journey through New England. His train left that city promptly at 8 -o’clock, but the early hour set for his departure did not deter the people from turning out in force and giv- ing him a hearty send-off. As he drove up to the station in an open carriage, accompanied by.Senator Platt, the crowd cheered and the President responded by raising his hat. The floral horseshoe pre- sented to the President by the working- men of Hartford yesterday was by his request placed on the engine. All along the line the small towns turned out thelr entire population, each apparently anx- fous to share in the welcome which Con- necticut is extending. ‘When Willimantic was reached the President was driven to the public square, where he delivered an address from hl carriage. Following are the President's remarks: “Mr. Mayor and you, my fellow eitl- zen: I thank you for the greeting you have given me and for the chance of see- ing you this morning. I have greatly en- joyed passing through your beautiful State. I welcome the opportunity of meeting you and your representatives; I think that it is an advantage to all of us who are trying to put your purpose and wishes into. effect in the national legisla- ture and administration when we can come into touch- with- you personally. I have taken the chance to-try, now that Congress is not in session, now that there is a holiday at the national capital, of golng through- the country to see you, my fellow citizens. I am obliged to you for coming out here. Last night in Hart- ford I spoke of two or-three of the ques- tions which we have now before our peo- ple. I shall not try to make any address to you to-day.. This nation has great problems to face, problems in -its ex- ternal policy, problems even more im- portant in the administration of its In- ternal affairs. We can solve them only if with serious purpose we set ourselves to the task alike in the National and State governments and in the local mu- nicipality and county organizations. We have great problems ahead of us, as a nation. They will task our intelligence, but they will task still more what ranks ahead of intelligence—character. (Ap- plause.) “It is a good thing for a nation to de- mand in its representatives intellect, but it is a better thing to demand in them that sum of qualities which we talk of as character. (Prolonged applause.) ““‘All of you know that is true in private life. If you are dealing with a man in a business way, whether as employer or employe, or in commerce with a store- keeper, or with any one, you want him to be a smart man; but it is a mighty bad thing if he is only smart. (Laughter.) Isn't that so? (Cries of ‘Yes, yes; that's right’ ‘Exactly. Now, what you want in a private man with whom you deal is what you want in your public representa- tives.” If you are going to get good re- sults with your association with a man in the business world, in the working world, it will be because that man has got the right stuff in him—because he has got common sense, honesty, décency and courage. And you have got to have the same qualities shown in public life if we are to make this country what we will make it—an example to all the nations of mankind.” (Loud applause.)

PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 23.—Peter Bau- chene, a blacksmith, was found dead shortly after midnight on Jeffereon street, near the power house of the Portland Heights cable road. The police believe | that he was murdered by the “Goose Hol- | low gang” for the purpose of robbery. | His head was bruised in|several places | and it is believed that he‘was struck by a piece of iron which lay near the body. Bauchene visited several saloons in the neighborhood during the night and those who saw him stated that he was slightly under the influence of liquor. His purse | was empty, though two dollars in silver was found on the body. | The Coroner’s jury this evening render- | ed a verdict that Bauchene came-.to his | death at the hands of persons unknown to the jury. The autopsy developed the | fact that the man’s skull had been frac- | tured above the right eye, probably by some blunt instrument.

NOT SPECIAL INVESTIEATION War Department Au- ditor on Alleged Casco Frauds. ‘Unloading of 'I;r&nsports in Philippines a Matter of Record. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22—In regard to the sensational newspaper reports hinting at gross irregularities and fraud in the unloading of United States transports at- ports in the Philippines, and declaring that a searching investigation is about to be made to discover the guilty parties, Frederick E. Rittman, auditor of the War Department, stated most positively - to- day that no special investigation is being conducted by him in that matter. The charges were to the effect that the tonnage of the small Philippines cascoes, Which heretofore have been used to take transport stores ashore,.-was, in a number of cases, falsely set down at a higher figure. Payment for the service of the cascoes was made in proportion tonnage, arnd the repoglspnllege ttl';)utmtgi: Government had suffered false statements. G Rittman states that in the ordinary course of routine business the War De- partment has supplied him with a dched- ule, showing the registered tonnage of all the little Filipino craft. This will be used in the examination of quartermasters’ accounts, and every delinquency thus can be brought to light. The auditor makes the point, however, that the matter. is not to be made the subject of a spectal investigation, but is simply to be dealt with as a routine affair. ¢ There are 2850 blind persons in the East End of London, many of whom have to beg for a livin DR.

Thirty-six years in the White House is the record of Thomas F. Pendel, an usher, who was appointed November 3, 1864, by President Lincoln. He is the oldest employe at the’White House, and is the only survivor of the force on duty at the Bxecutive Mansion during the Lin- coln Administration.

Catarrh goes everywhere, stops nowhere. It spreads and spreads and, if not cured, pervades the whole body. It never stops when once it gets started, unless cured. Below is given a list of the organs most commonly affected by catarrh, with the most prominent symptoms caused by it: Catarrh of the head and frontal sinus, headache; catarrh of the eyes, watery eyes; catarrh of the nose, discharges and scabs; catarrh of the throat, hawking and painful swallowing; catarrh of the larynx, hoarseness; catarrh of the stom- ach, dys- pepsia; catarrh of the bron- chial tubes, cough and soreness; catarrh of the lungs, con- sumption; _catarrh the liver, billiousaess; catarrh of the duodenum, wasting; catarrh of the small intestines, diarrhea; _catarrh of the kidneys, Bright's disease; catarrh of the bladder, smarting and scalding; ca- tarrh of the pelvic organs, urinary and | female difficulties.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—John McCul- lagh, State Superintendent of Elections, has summoned David N. Carvalho, the handwriting expert, to appear before him to-day to testify as to what is believed to be wholesale frauds in registration car- rled on in the First Assembly Distriet. Referring to the matter the Herald says that in the First Assembly District alone it is discovered that there have already been found the names of 225 persons liv- ing in other districts which, according to expert opinion, have been signed by other persons to transfer slips and certified to as their own signatures, thus allowing them to vote in that district. The inves- tigation there is only half-completed. Transfers of First District rolls' to the number of 637 had been made on Saturflt.g last, when the time for recording suci transfers expired. Carvalho has exam- ined just half of these transfer slips, and states positively that about 94 per cent of the signatures to the slips are fraudu- lent. TR ‘The statement is made that if this proportion is carried out throughout the city and is not prevented from consumma- tlon before September 15 next, more than 16 per cent of the total vote of the city will be cast fraudulently. Carvalho is quoted as saying: “In the First Dis-| trict the foreign element predominates, and among the transfer slips I have ex~{ amined so far there appear the names of voters of every nationality on the globe. But thelir signatures are all in the Spen- cerfan style of penmanship, which is not used by foreigners, and the handwriting of the Commissioners of Deeds who at- tested the signatures is also in the Spen- cerian style. There is a remarkably close similarity in most cases of the res of all these names. e T Union Causés Employers’ Arrest. VINELAND, N.
