English, md Sept. 6.-An excursion

criminals out of those who would be
earning bread under better conditions.
THE New York World of a few DAYS
ago editorially complained of the in
crease of crime. If you find crime in
ereasing, If you find idleness growing,
it is not a privilege only, it Is a duty
that you owe to yourselves and your
country to see whether you can change
conditions and improve the conditions
that surround you.
Now, when you come to the ballot. I
want you to remember that that ballot
was given to you-not by any man who
employs you, not by any man. That
ballot was iven you by law. You had
it before he employed you. 1t will be
yours when your employment ceases.
You do not tell him that if he does not
vote according to your opinion you will
quit work. And yet you have just as
much right to say that to him as lie
has to say to you that you have got to
quit working for him if you do not vote
the way he wants you to.
when / say this l am not afraid Of
offending anybody. because if there IS
an employer in this country who be-
lieves that he has the right, by paying
wages, to control the votes of those to
whom the wages go, l say if there is
such an employer l can not offend him,
because that man can not be Offended
by anything (Applause)
"There is only one person, there is
only one citizen in this country who
can prove himself unworthy of the
ballot which has been given to him,
and that is the citizen who either sells
it or permits it to be wrested from him
under coercion. Whenever a man Ct
fers you pay for your vote he insults
your manhood, and you ought to have
no respect for the man who tries to 90
it. And the man who, instead Of III
sulting your manhood by an offer to
purchase, attempts to intimidate you
or coerce you insults your citizenship
as well as your manhood.
Let me leave you just one parting
word. Let me urge you, whatever may
be your views on political questions
whatever may be your ideas as to pol
icies proposed from time to time 10y
various parties, let me urge you to
make it your highest ambition to prove
yourselves worthy of that greatest OF
all names-an American citizen.
thank you" Great applause)

KATE FIELDS REMAINS IN HAWAII
Her VIII Directs That They BE
Cremated.

Chicago Sept. 6.-Before Kate Field
left for Hawaii she advised H H.
Kohlsaat, editor Of the Times-Herald,
that she had provided in her will for
the disposition Of her remains in the
event Of death. Diligent search failed
to discover this will until Friday last
Meanwhile the body had been lying in
q vault at Hawaii.
1t appears from this will that Miss
Field directed that her body be Gre
mated, and that her ashes. together
with a plain gold ring worn by her.
be placed in an urn and deposited
above the collins of her father and
mother in Mount Auburn cemetery at
Cambridge, Mass. Mr.. Kohlsaat has
undertaken the immediate execution
of these instructions and has written
to Consul General Mills at Honolulu,
making provision for the expense, and
directing that the cremation shall take
place there if practicable, but if not
the remains Shall be forwarded by the
next steamer via San Francisco and
overland to Boston, where the desired
disposition OF them will be made.

GREAT BRITAIN FOLLOWS SUIT
VIII Initiate Our Government in Its
Consular Service.

Washington, Sept. 6. --Thonas Ew-
ing Moore, United States commercial
agent at Weimar. has called the atten-
ton of the department of state to the
fact that the British government has
taken steps to supplement its consular
service by the appointment of COM
mercial attaches. So far two of these
attaches have been appointed, one at
Berlin. whose field comprises Germa-
ny, the Netherlands and Scandinavia,
and one at Mhdrid for Spain and por-
tugal
The duties of these officials are to
relieve the consuls Of the work Of in
PRODUCING British goods into foreign
markets, and the beginning of this
service has been noted with alarm by
England's greatest trade competitor,
Germany. where the press has begun
already an agitation looking to the re
form of the German consular service
to meet England's action, involving a
special educa ton and preparation of
young men for consular careers. 1t is
demanded that the consular officers be
men commercially and technically
trained. or else that they be supplied
with specially trained assistants.
Mr.. Moore attributes this agitation
in both Great Britain and Germany for
the remodeling of the consular service
to a perception Of the excellent results
attending the development by the
United States of a system of consular
reports upon matters calculated TO
benefit American producers and mer-
chants.

Our Grentest Mennce.

IF you find a large number of men
out of employment you have a right to
inquire whether idleness is inflicted up-
ON the human race by natural laws. by
the act of creation, or whether il is
due to legislation which was wrong. If
it is due to legislation which is wrong,
then it is not only your right but your
duty to change that legislation. The
greatest menace to the employed la
borer today is the increasing army Of
the unemployed. 1t menaces every man
who holds a position, and if that army
continues to increase, it is only ques-
ton of time when those who are, as
you may say, upon the ragged edge,
shall leave the ranks of the employed
and join those who are out of work.
My friends, l am one of those who
believe that if you increase the amount
of idleness, if you increase the number
of those who can not work, and yet
must eat, you will drive men to des-
peration and increase the ranks Of
