PINGREE ON POLITICS
BEFORE AN AUDIENCE IN FULL
EVENING DRESS
No Government Can Last Which Con-
stantly Increases the Burdens
of the Industrial Glasses

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Gov. Hazen S.
Pingree of Michigan delivered an ad-
dress tonight before the Nineteenth
Century club at Sherry's. There was u
very large attendance at the meeting,
Sherry's ball room being filled with men
and women in evening dress. Herbert
Wash of Philadelphia had also been
invited to talk on a similar subject. He
spoke of reform in his native city and
the abuses of ring rule there.
President Taylor introduced the
speaker of the evening at $3.50. and Gov
ernor Pingree began to deliver his ad-
dress, reading from manuscript.
Governor Pingree spoke of THE re-
suits of ten years of municipal progress"
The governor stated that it was the duty
of every good citizen to take an active
interest in the politics of his municipal
ity, not only to vote, but to take part
in caucuses and primary elections.
Then reviewing his connection with the
municipal affairs of Detroit, as mayor
during the past seven years, he told how,
under his administration, the city had
acquired it's own electric lighting plant,
and was now splendidly illuminated at
less than half the old rate; how gas had
been reduced at least one-third in price;
how the toll roads had been made public
thoroughfares; how the street pave
ments had been wonderfully improved; F.;
how the public school facilities had been
bettered how the street car facilities
had been greatly increased and the cost
of transportation lessoned, so that now
one company sells six tickets for q
quarter with transfers, and another
eight tickets with transfers; how all
street car companies had been compelled
to sell workingmen's tickets at 3 sentS
during certain hours, and how, by the
starting of an opposition company tele-
phone rates had been reduced more than
rs per cent. In conclusion he said:
How long can government last
which increases constantly the burdens
of the industrial classes and gives to
those who prey upon the bone and sinew
of the nation?
"It is the duty of government to pro-
tect the weak against the strong, the
poor against the selfishness of wealth.
say right here that unless the Republic
can party comes out as champion of
the average American and his welfare,
and unless it ceases to cater to syndi-
Gates, trusts and monopolies, it will be
carried to oblivion. We must begin by
advocating a municipal ownership of
natural monopolies and take away from
them the item of profit and relieve the
wage-earner to that extent"

In his report to the secretary General
Miles makes no reference to possible
complications with Spain, but says:
Although the general desire Of our
people is to maintain a condition of
peace with all nations, and the policy
Of the government is one of good will
and peaceful relations with all others,
yet nothing could be more injudicious
than to remain in a condition of insecur-
ity and permit the lives of millions and
the accumulated wealth of many gen.
erations to be destroyed or endangered
by any foreign power with which we
are liable to come in contact and the
general plan for defense which has been
adopted by the government should be
steadily pursued until the nation - IN
condition Of security and safety which
q due regard for self-preservation
would demand"

A Peculiar Incident
At Woman's Meeting

An incident occurred at the w. c. r. u.
state convention at Cortland, New York
early in October, that marks an era of
progress, and is interesting. inasmuch as
it indicates the trend of thought of the
present day. 1t was proposed that Postum
Cereal Coffee be served at meals for dele
gates, in place of ordinary coffee. Some
of the ladies stated that they had tried
Postum once and did not fancy it. How
ever 1t was served at the first general meal
and the ladies were very emphatic in their
terms of approved. Some one thereupon
put the question whether the convention
be served with ordinary coffee or with
Postum, and the vote was for Postum with
out one dissenting voice, the ladies fiocl0ng
about the cook to ascertain how to make
such a delicious beverage on which many
of them had failed on their first attempts.
The answer was simple: Boil Is minutes
after boiling commences. while for church
suppers, conventions, etc. enclose the
product in two cheesecloth bags in coffee
boiler and boil one hour. The famous Pos
tum Coffee thus made furnishes hot bev-
erage full Of nourishment for nerves and
brain and delicious to the taste. People
are slowly awakening to the fact that the
daily drugging with narcotics in the shape
of coffee and tobacco accounts for the
many ills of head, nerves, heart and stom-
ach. The action of the New York state
convention indicates their intelligence on
the subject In hand.
