Judge Romeo II. Freer has introduced

Object. of Societies.

Rev. Mr.. Graham then developed the
thought that the organization OF socie-
ties is not for external protection as much
as cooperation for development, and
pointed out that the objects of the socie-
sies to-day were: first, to maintain and
promote the interests of Americans and
shield them from the depressing effects
of foreign competition; second, to assist
Americans in obtaining employment;
third, to encourage Americans in bust
ness; fourth, TO establish a sick and
funeral fund: and fifth. TO MAINTAIN the
public school system of the United States
Of America and to prevent sectarian in
reference Herewith and to uphold :"
Another point which the minister very
thoroughly developed was fellowship. ana
he thought that it is probable that the
original idea OF brotherhoods was more
for the spiritual and social fellowship,
rather than business or pecuniary benefits,
and therefore they were, as has been
stated. based upon mans love for man.
He thought that society is an expression
of mans love TO God. and his love for
man. AS man studies the God of nature
from nature, so he knows him BY respect
ing what he has created. AS a mechanic

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HAS A GREAT CHANCE
M'KINLEY IS UNPOPULAR
COMMUNICATIONS Opposed to His
Imperialistic DOctrineS-Opin-
Ion as to- the Sixteen-to-
One silver Issue.

NEW YORK, March 31.-OswaM Often
dorfer, editor of the Stats Zeitung, was
interviewed on the present issues of the
DAY and the prospects of the national
campaign. Mr., Ottendorfer said:
The German-Americans voted almost
solIdly against Bryan and free silver four
years ego. They are stiH opposed TO the
tree coinage of silver, but they know that
the gold standard Is now a reaIit and
that 1t cannot be interfered with 70, some
years TO come. However the German
American voters might fear the election
OF Bryan on 16 to l platform. They
might dread the uncertainty of things
should Bryan become president"
AS between Mckinley and Bryan who
would be your choice?"
Personally. and speaking only for my
self. replied Mr. Ottendorfer, IT would
prefer Bryan's election to McKinley's re-
election In my opinion the Kansas City
convention would do a wise thing by re-
naming silent on the free silver issue 1
do not suggest trimming of sails to fool
the people on the money question. or
that the convention should repudiate the
platform of 1856. But there is no reason
why the 50 TO issue should be brought
forward this year.
Why should the battle of 1890 be fought
on the issues decided in 1896? There are
new and important issues before the peo-
PIE udS-lSSueS which involve the very
life of the republic.
The Democratic party has a great OBJ
portunity if it looks forward and not
backward. A great majority of the peo-
pie of this country do not wish to be
forced to vote for McKinleyism, imperial
ism and militarism. and l am convinced
that thousands and thousands Of voters
who four years ago preferred Mckinley
to Bryan are now ready to prefer Bryan
to Mckinley. OF course, they might pre-
fer to vote for some one in place Of
Bryan"
DO you think Bryan would have a
chance of winning?" ..-
Yes, if he and his friends do not in
sist upon radical reaifimation of the Chi
cago platform. The Republicans have
only one hope Of re-electing Mckinley,
and that hope is that they again make
1G to the issue against the Democratic
party" ......
What do you think of the tariff against
Puerto Rico?"
'Monstrous, outrageous = against the
constitution and all precedents"
How about the trust question:"
THE solution Of the trust issue is gov
eminent ownership. I have always been
firm believer in government ownership
of public franchises and in favor of laws
that could be enforced against trusts"

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LONDON, March 24-An officer present
at Spion Kop writes In the Times, such
a scathing description of the tactics en-
ployed in this fight that the editorial col
umn of that paper says:
"Napoleons bitter comment was mot to

writing the article says, in part:
II repeat 1t is impossible to hope for
the first glimmer of success until a man
Of ability is placed in command, or until
the minor leaders are at least men of
ordinary intelligence or courage. The
soldiers have hitherto been cheerful, but
nearly all the officers are men known
through the army for incapacity, and
whose very names excite derision from
all who have served under them. speak
not of reglmental commanders (of whom
I wish to speak with respecD, who have
little opportunity to influence even the
minor details of a battle, but of those
elected officers who are either advisors
or commanders.
Some Of these have proved themselves
to be equal to their regulations some of
them have astonished even those who
knew them best for their utter lack of
common sense, for weakness In diff
culties, and even for inability to put In
practice the elementary rules of war that
all soldiers have learned in the lower
grades of the service. This last failure
strikes one the more when we consider
that they have ell, or nearly all, received
a high military education at the staff col
lege. many of them have even been lee
turers and professors.
II am far from condemning military
science. 1 believe it to be almost impos-
sible to find a general or staff officer
capable of performing his duties who has
not given years of study to the duties OF
his profession. Men who are admirable In
offices or as teachers, fall radically when
confronted with the harsh realities Of the
battlefield. The dead shot who can put
out a candle at twenty yards, takes a
wild aim when confronted with an an
tagonist at fifteen PAGES.

CINCINNATI. March S1-The officers
think tonight that Charles Winold, want
ed for instigating the poisoning yester-
day of his divorced wife, his children and
others, will soon be caught.
Since the divorce. and litigation in
New York over the possession of the
children, Winold has been going mad
with drink. He. was seen here very
drunk the night before the poisoning
and is so disflgured from falls that he is
easily traced.
The woman under arrest confessed to-
day that her name is Faltha Gillian Her
parents were afterwards found and she
was fully identified. She gave the names
of Violet Foster and Lena Heigh when
first arrested.
1t was thought at first that Who'd
had become crazed with drink since his
divorce and the loss of his children and
that he was laboring under mental
troubles when he hired Faltha Gillian
to put poison in the oatmeal for break

today indicates long deliberations, as well
as a deep plot. The woman In her cell
signed a confession in which she said
Winold promised to marry her. She ad-
mitted her infatuations and their init
macy. She said Winold put the poison
in the oatmeal himself and she served 1t
