There is no longer any question as TO

strong enough TO eXpel him from the
House. Since Representatives have ar

BALF0UR SPEAKS OF THE
DUTCH DREAM OF EMPIRE

LONDON, Nov. 2s-Arthur J. Balfour
Government leader Of the House of Com
mons, addressing the National Conserva
tive Conference at Dewsbury to-day. re-
PEELED the charge that the Governments
motive in the war in South Africa was
the acquisition Of the gold fields. He asked
II, during the last hundred years, any
British statesmen had dreamed of taxing
the colonies for the benefit Of the mother
country. Britishers were now sacrificing
the lives Of those dearest TO them. he as
serted. for the sake OF the security and
honor OF the empire. The first acts OF
the drama were being PLAYED in Cane Col
ony and Natal, but the denouement would
be played. he trusted, in dominions not
now subject TO the crown. (Cheers)
y have now come TO the conclusion
he said. that the declaration of war bv
the Transvaal and the Free State was
not only a despairing struggle for lib
erty. but bold bid for empires-a bid IN
make themselves the nucleus OF a Dutch
speaking paramount power in South AZ
rica. and TO exclude forever the hated
Britisher from dominating influence in
that part OF the world. and IL is incredi-
BILE that such a risk would be run merely
to prevent the Uitlander getting a vote.
Their dream may be madness, but Il Is
intelligent madness. when we consider the
whole situation and the military difficult
tee that beset Great Britain in a South
African war. They have vainly counted
on the British party system. and another
reason may be found I'm their profound
contempt for British arms"
In the course of his speech he said:
May We not on this occasion express
our gratitude TO our American friends
who have done all that is possible In
case like this. namely. have provided and
equipped the Maine. not only in the in
terests OF humanity. but, as / well be-
ileve.. out Of sympathy for those engaged
in this great fight"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-11-29

He asserted that in the history Of the
race the first period Is the nutritive and
the second the reproductive. Time, sense
and memory are developed at an early
age, but the higher attributes at a later
period-with girls at about II and with
boys two or three years later. Every child
must live over the history of the develop
ment OF race. The child's idea of right Is
what the parent permits, and its idea Of
wrong Is what the parent prohibits. When
the adolescent period arrives there sud-
denly develops a disposition to debate the
right and wrong of every question.
AT the afternoon session Professor
Burk again aroused much interest by
his vigorous discussion OF Literature in
the Grammar Grades" After a discus
sion participated in by a number Of
teachers, Professor Burk delivered his
farewell address, choosing for his theme.
The Bad Boy and the Origin OF Some
OF His Wickedness." 1t was. perhaps, the
most entertaining of his series OF adj
dresses.
How to Do Thirty-two Hours Work
in Day" was discussed by w. II. Branks
Self-help versus Teachers Help was
presented by Miss Flaa. A general and
interesting discussion followed both these
addresses.
This evening DIR. Elmer z. Brown de-
iivered a very interesting lecture TO a
large audience. His subject was THE

BUILDING TRADES
UNIONS TO UNITE
The Action of Contractors on Goat
Island Federal Job Severely De-
:. nnnnced hv Sneakers.

OAKLAND. June 13.-The mass-meet-
ing of building trades people called by the
local union of the Carpenters and Join
ers of America held in California Hall
tonight was very largely attended.
1t was decided that next Monday night
the union issue call for convention of
all unions of building trades for the pur-
pose of forming a building trades coun-
ell and afitating with the San Francisco
Huilding Trades Council.
Before the meeting adjourned Chairman
Malubary called attention to the mass
meeting to be held in Metropolitan Hall,
San Francisco, tomorrow night.
o. l.. Malsbury, district organizer for
the Pacific Coast, presided over tonight s
meeting. and among the speakers were
p H Mccarthy. president of the San
Francisco Building Trades Council; Reu-
hen WAND. secretary of the local union;
p. NJ Wellin, past president of the gen
eral brotherhood of the Carpenters and
Joiners of America.
The unfair action of Campbell & Pet
tus. who hold the Government contract on
Goat Island, toward labor unions In vio-
lating the eight-hour law, came in for a
rough scoring from these speakers and
The fact that the unjust contractors who
one speaker said had taken the contract
brought into court, where they pleaded
guilty, was regarded as a signal victory
for labor. That contractors bid low and
then make the laboring men sweat for it
was deprecated. and Mr.. Mccarthy stated
that If Justice Is not done at Washington
step IN, and unless there is q repetition
of the corned beef and cabbage investi-
CATION eternal Justice would be melted out
to American labor
