Mrs. Mavnard's Talk.

A selection by the orchestra followed,
and then Mrs. Mia Upper Maynard
was introduced. Mrs. Maynard's talk
was devoted to a complimentary sketch
of Jefferson's life and character.
She spoke of his high conception of
citizenship, saying he always Insisted
that a human being, because of his hu-
mainly, was entitled to recognition and
must be given full liberty. The speaker
touched on Jefferson's fight against
slavery, notwithstanding the fact that
he lived in a slave state and was nat
urally q Shareholder. He also fought
for religious liberty.
In conclusion, Mrs. Maynard referred
to the problems of the present. The
greatest of these, she thought, was the
combinations now existing that tend to
make men slaves where they should be
free. She said d fight would have to
be waged against such conditions, and
the people must get together and stand
together until the desired result is &C
complished.
Mrs. Maynards talk completed the
formal programme. 1t was expected
that Judge King and Judge Henderson
would be present, but they were un-
avoidably kept away on account OF
business. The ladies and their guests
remained for an hour after the conclu-
sion of the last set number, while the
orchestra gave some music, and other
impromptu entertainment of d vocal
and instrumental character was pro-
cided.

his position on the question of expan-
sion, and the earnestness of his dellF-
cry showed that the subject was close
to his heart He was accorded a rous-
ing burst of applause when he hnlsheu.
The. succeeding number was de-
lightfully rendered solo by Miss Ruth
Wilson. Her selection was given in eX-
cellent style and was received with
every mark of appreciation.

Thatcher and Jacketta McCune was
next. The young ladies We're as grace

Congressman Roberts.
Then Chairman Moyle introduced
Congressman Roberts. He said great
many complimentary things about the
brainy man from Centerville, winding
UP with the prediction that he would
carve his way to high and enviabie rep
utation in the national house.
Mr.. Roberts started out by congratu-
lating the ladies on the success Whlcn
had attended their efforts. He desired
to express his appreciation OF the al
yantages offered by the club.
The congressman spoke OF the scene
at the deathbed Of John Adams. on
July 4, 1926, when the moribund states
man was Informed that Thomas Jeffer-

celebrating in honor of Jefferson, one
should know the exact date of his birth.
Some people celebrated April Il, but
the correct date, as written on the fly
leaf of prayerbook by himself, 'and
prayerbooks shouldn't lie,'' interjected
the senator, parenthetically, fixes the
date as April ?, 174S.
Proceeding, Senator Rawlins briefly
sketched the life of Jefferson. He said
the great leader was more bitterly de-
nounced than any other public man;
but, in spite of the anathemas of his
enemies, he kept steadily at work until
he achieved the greatest triumphs ever
accomplished by one man.
Jefferson believed in the enlarge
ment of our border" the speaker went
on. 1T was by his efforts that a great
territory from which many states were
carved and in which thousands of peo-
pie found homes, was added to the
Union. Yes, Jefferson believed in en-
largement, but he favored it on this

held, 1 take it that his spirit still walks
when the evils against which he fought
and the tendencies which threaten the
life of the government were more po-
tent than they are today.
IF there was one doctrine which JEFF
ferson emphasized more than another,
it was that our government should be
frugal one, a government that should
restrain men from injuring one an
other and then leave them. 50 far as
possible, to he pursuit of their own
happiness OF late there has been a
tendency to drift away from these fun
damental principles of government.
Mr. Roberts referred TO the enormous
expenditures of the last congress, which
he said amounted to $1.566, 100000. OF
this vast sum, $422, 600, 00G was the cost
of the war with Spain, but with that
eliminated, the total was still over a
billion. The war had brought on an
other evil.

navy. and in civil life, to feed upon the

CURED a special sale of bonds and the
people are burdened with additional
taxation. Never was a time so propi-
tious to bring about monetary reforms
as now.
1.-THE war with Spain has brought i'm
mense accessions of territory and has
begotten the most extraYagant ideas.
A good share of the white mans burden
it seems, is to be placed on American
shoulders. It seems to me we ought not
to forget that we stand upon dangerous
ground We are SO likely to reach af-
ter greater glory that we may eHdanger
our domestic liberty.
"It is we'll for us to pause in the
midst of our mad career and ask our
selves if we can afford to purchase
glory at the expense OF liberty. The
tendencies that are Jeffersonian are
anti-expansionist, and were he here to-

principle, that the people who went
into the new lands should carry with
them the laws of their country.
Those who refer to Jefferson in the
sense of desiring to make one class
bond and another free, to elevate one
class of people at he expense of an
other, mistake the very essence of the
life and character of the man. Grave
problems are now confronting the
American people. Our battles must

There Is No Peace.
"A so-called treaty of peace has been

president cries Peace, peacei there is
no peace. Each breeze that blows TO

on its bosom the crash of resoundinS

lures made by the American consuls
to Aguinaldo for nelp in fighting the
Spanish. He said the promise was then
made that if the desired aid was given,
the Filipinos should have a government
of their own with an American protec-
torate. This assurance had been Vio-
lated; the pledge was broken.
Everything touched by those bu-
reaucrats at Washington" said the
senator, with great vigor, Seems to
have turned into cupidity and rotten
ness. If our consuls generals at SinSa-
pore and Hongkong, with Dewey, had
been left alone, there wouldn't have
been any of this after trouble. But for
the FilipinoS we couldn't have landed
our troops ON the island of Luzon. Ma
Mia would not have fallen into our
hands if it hadn't been for the aid
given us by Aguinaldo and his chiefs.
This nation of ours is too great to
do wrong. When it has done a wrong
it is too great and too good not to right
it." The speaker said that Commodore
Decatur's toast to his country had
been quoted as a reason for UNFOLDING
the administration Philippine policy
1t was: My country; may she always
be right. but right or wrong, my coun-
try This Senator Rawlins thought a
very proper policy for a. sailor or SOL
der, but it wouldn't do for the law
makers. He declared that a grievous
wrong had been done in the Philippines,
and it is our duty to correct 1t.
In conclusion, Senator Rawlins de-
clared that the country was running
mad after conquest, and predicted evil
things as a result. with one hand we
are reaching out to grasp the laurel, ;"
he added, while with the other, before
very long, we will be reaching down
