DR.. Mcclure the secretary, said YESTERDAY
afternoon: William o. Mcdowell of New Jer-
sey originated the pan-republic congress. We
hope that it will do a great amount Of good.
The idea of the congress Is to benefit mankind
all over the world and to secure freedom of
thought and action for every one SO far as it
would be of benefit Among other things we
hope to aid in securing more enlightened and
better penal and educational code in come
countries In fact We will consider all ques-
tions that relate to the general well-being Of
mankind.
Already we have received letters from we'll
known persons in China. Africa, Spain, England,
France, Germanv-in fact from all over the
worldwide are willing and ready to join the
congress and help us in the movement. Phila-
delphia should feei honorAd in having been
selected as the place of meeting of the COM
mlttee on organization OF the congress; but
think it is good idea that the members should
first meet in old Independence Hall, where the
Declaration Of Independence was signed, as we
might ray that the pan-re public congress is
organized with the man object Of promulgating
the second declaratisp.'
