powerful institutions, but they had failed
in one thing-in not looking into the grain
exports. They should enquire into the
matter and see that no shippers deal fraud
ulently with the people of any part of the
world. Only good products should be ex-
ported, otherwise the country would ex-
perience bad trade reaction in the course
of time.
Among the other speakers were Col. A.
M. Miller, in charge of the Washington
Aqueduct; Admiral Bradford Land Com
missioner Hermann, Captain Taylor, who
was severely wounded during the Santiago
campaign, and Senator Thurston.
Senator Thurston said the business men
of Washington had done more for the
nation than the country had done for it,
and that the nation, in return, should do
its full duty toward the city.
"A new destiny he concluded, ''is upon
us, and the country is far greater than our
forefathers ever dreamed it would be- and
therefore, constitutions made in the light
OF the times of their makers are to be
construed in the light of the necessities of
civilized nations"
The dinner was concluded with three
cheers for the splendid oratoricaI effort
of Senator Thurston.
