Omaha. October 5.--The feature or
Pennsylvania day. which In itself was
grand success at the exposition
grounds today. was the speech of Post
master General Charles Emory Smith
as the orator of the day. His theme
was "The War and Its Fruits" and
the burden of his argument was for
territorial expansion. not for the sake
of the possession of mere territory.
but in support of the commercial
growth OF the nation. He said in part:
This war has opened new career.
and we joyfully turn from It's thrilling
drama 10 the granduer Of the peaceful
mission which IL ushers in. We have
stepped out on the broad stage of the
worlds action; we have advanced from
continental dominion to world intiu-
ence; we have moved out of the isola
tion of n great but still limited and
self f-circumscribed sphere into the large
arena Of the worlds activities; and If
I'm this department there are the risks
and possibilities which attend all hu-
man progressive enterprise there are
also necessities and obligations from
which we cannot shrink and opportun-
tiles and glories which beckOn us OH
ward
Equal TO every crisis in the past, we
shall deal with this new emergency in
the true American spirit. 1t makes us
responsible for Cuba. 1t gives us
Porto Rico. 1t plants our outpost on
the farther side Of the globe. What
ever we hold, whether II be more or
! less. will be held not for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. but solely in accept
ance of responsibilities which provi-
! dence has laid upon us. Men lightly
! talk of imperialism" Our imperial
! ism is not territorial lust. but benig-
nant trade expansion and civilizing in
! tluence, and our flag is ut Manila, not
! i'm any spirit of spoliatiOn not in either
| the greed or the glory Of conquest
! but. let it be reverently said, under the
controlling force of providentiaI
guidance, at the ripe hour in the de
velopment and requirements of Our
natural growth.
II is treated In many quarters simply
as a question Of territorial expansion
but that is a secondary and incidental
consideration. The great and over
Shadowing question is one Of CONNER
cial openings. The heart of the issue

stiles and facilities. Beyond aud be
hind and beneath this departure lies
the broad problem of Americas destiny
in the commerce and civilization of the
world. Our growth has been so mar
velous that we need new opportunities
and our fate is so happy that the op
portunities are here for our taking
Our need today. like that Of 100 yeair
ago. is for commercial outlets. and /
is for the descendants OF our fathers L

1t is stated by competent authority
that there are ten million people in Am
erca who are bicycle riders. Probably
each one gets an average of one hurt in
season, and that is just when Henry a.
Johnsons Arnica & Oil Liniment gets in
its good work. Nothing has ever been
made that will cure bruise, cut or sprain
as quickly. Also removes pimples, sun
burn, tan or freckles. Clean and nice to

wheeler Refutes the Charges.

General Joseph Wheelcr's testimony
before the war inquiry commission is IA
pretty general refutation of all the
more serious charges under investiga
tion.
1t deals specifically and in detail
with conditions at the two places
Santiago and Montauk-where the
troops are alleged 10 nave Undergone
the greatest hardships and suffering
by reason of the incompetence and
neglect of war officials.
In substance General Wheeler's ties.
tmOny was as follows:
At SantiagO-EXcept in a few in.
stances supplies were adequate. On
several occasions this was due 10 the
fact that the men going into action
threw away their ratiOnS three days
supply and did not recover them.
The wounded were promptly cared
for.
Only once was there a lack Of sur
geOns. occasioned by the illness OF the
surgeons themselves.
The men slept on the ground instead
Of in tents. because the tents had been
left on the transports SO that no time
would bc lost in removing them.
The amount of illness among the
troops was due entirely to the climate
and 10 necessary exposure in the
trenches. And to the further fact that
many Of the volunteers did not know
how TO take care Of themselves.
All complaints were promptly rene
died.
The plan Of campaign could not be
improved upon
He returned in the transport sup.
posed to be in the worst condition OF
all and found it comfortable.
At Montauk-Camp splendidly 10
Gated. Climate frst-class. Good hos
pitals. Scarcity of nurses at first. bu'
a complete quota obtained in five days
Supplies. including delicacics, in abun
dance.
This is the testimony Of a soldier
a volunteer general. who previously hao
been through Il four years war. II i
the testimony of a man who belongs
TO the party from whose members
most OF the charges of mismanagemen'
have emanated.
That the people who know Genera
Wheeler best have unlimited conn
dence i'm him is shown by the fact tha
all parties i'm his district have united
10 honor him with unanimous re
election To congress.
In the face of such testimony th'
sensational charges of a sensational
press and designing politicians can
not stand.
If later developments in the inquir!
are of the same character the resul
will show that instead of having beer
mismanaged the Santiago campaign
was one of the best managed and mos
brilliantly successful in the history o.
