HENDERSON EXPLAINS.
The Speaker Tells His Constituents
About the Porto Ricnn Ques-
ton in the House.

Waterloo. Ia, July 21.-Speaker Hen
derson, when he was renominated for
congress by the republican convention
held in this city, made one of his old
fashioned speeches to his friends and
constituents. In the course of this
speech Col. Henderson took up the
Porto Rican question and briefly and
satisfactorily explained the attitude
of the republican majority in congress
who supported the bill. Every Iowa
member of congress voted for this bill
except Mr.. Lane. of the Second district,
and he has decided not to be a candi-
date for rejection. Col. Henderson
said
mo greater tribute to American cit
iZenship has ever been given than that
eXemplitied in the criticism of the Porto
Rican bill Their first impression was
that we We're taxing Porto Rico for our
benefit What are the facts? They have
been down trodden by the tyranny of
Spain: they have been storm swept all
over that little island, and they have been
famine swept and had no government OF
their own. They had to have money to
run that government. Ii any party Will
try to take the monel OF the United
States to run a government outside of the
United States they viii find themselves
showed under at the first election. Porto
Rico had nothing and yet her government
had to be run. When we took it up they
We're paying,a Dingley tariff duty on all
imports and that money was going into
the treasury Of the United States. We
proposed instead of collecting the Ding
| ley tariff, that we would collect 10 per
cent. of ii and give them the money; for
instance, if the tariff was a dollar under
| the Dingley law, we would make 1t 10
/ cents instead OF a dollar and after col
/ Letting that 10 cents we would turn 1t
| over to Porto Rico to run her govern
/ ment But the impression was for some
| time that we were turning 1t into the
treasury of the United States. Now, my
! friends, we did that to give them revenue
until we could give them government
! of their own. They had paid under the
| Dingley tariff bill S20OO,o00 that we could
have used to run this government but we
turned around and took that s2oOO,OOt
that had been paid by the Porto Ricans
! under the Dinglcy tariff, and we put that
back into their possession, not one dollar
of that money stayed in the United
4 States. We took this money to run theil
4 government, to pay the expenses Of
running their government, but this was
only for temporary relief until we coulC
give them form of government of theil
own, and when bill is passed whereby
the Porto Ricans can govern themselve:
and tax themselves, the Porto R,can bll
passed by the last congress becomes o
no force. will say to YOU my country
men, you may look upon the treatmen
of her colonies by Great Britain and tn
treatment of her subjects and you ma!
take the treatment accorded by Russi;
to her colonies, but in the history o
man you cannot find such kindness q
in the American Porto Rican bill"

Expansion Means Peace

Study the Kansas city platform, and
you cannot help realizing that their policy
is the policy of infamy, that their triumph
would mean misery SO widespread that
it is almost unthinkable and a disgrace so
lasting that more than generation would
have to pass before it could be wiped out.
"They stand for lawlessness and dis
order, for dishonesty and dishonor, for

AT KING soLoMoN's TEMPLE.

American Masons Meet on Historical
Ground-Ellswort tn Represented.
a little east OF the Damascus gate and
Mount Calvary, and nearly opposite the
grott6, where jeremiah is said to have
written his Lamentations, is low, narrow
opening in the wall of Jerusalem. On a
recent Sunday afternoon about seventy
five Free and Accepted Masons from
many American states, including Maine,
assembled at this opening. They were
received by some of the officers OF the
Royal Solomon Mother Lodge Of f. and
A. NJ, OF Jerusalem.
After examination to ascertain who
were worthy and well qualified, they were
ushered through the portal and passed
under the'wall into an immense cave
under the city known as the Quarries Of
Solomon. This excavation in rock ex-
tends under great part of the city, from
the Damascus gate to Mount Moriah and
the Temple court, and is evidently the
work of human hands, a stone quarry for
material and probably to assist In supply
ing place of refuge in time of war. 1t
was hung with lanterns and candles.
The party was conducted for about a
fifth of mile, until the conductors said
they were under the wall of the Temple
OF Solomon. There upon broad, level
piateau, rooted by eternal rock, the party
was halted. The senior warden OF Jeru-
salem lodge made formal address OF well
come in excellent English. He Is
Syrian, dark Accomplishment, but an &C.
compished gentleman. He welcomed
the visiting Masons to the birthplace OF
Free Masonry. He was followed by an
other member of Jerusalem lodge, who
detailed the history and growth OF Jeru-
salem lodge. The officers OF Jerusalem
lodge presented each visiting Mason
gavel Of Olive wood OF Jerusalem with
handle Of oak of Basban. Each visiting
member registered his name and that OF
his home lodge In the register OF the
mother lodge.
Fitting responses were made in behalf
OF the visiting Masons by Mr.. Klumm, OF
Philadelphia. by Mr.. Galland, Of Spokane,
and by Judge Emery, Of Ellsworth.
Judge Emery said in substance:
81 am gratified to meet here in the very
quarrles where Hiram Abiff directed the
workmen in excavating and fitting the
stones Of the temple. 1t is impressive to
see Masons from such distant parts Of the
world meeting here, drawn together by
common sentiment OF affection for one
another and our order.
masonry, since its institution, has
never prosecuted, has never shed blood,
has never oppressed, has never been in
tolerant. 1t has always and everywhere
stood for liberation, charity, benevolence
and friendship. There are Masons here
from the Atlantic coast OF America, from
the Alleg hanies, from the broad prairies,
from the Rocky mountains, from the
coasts OF the Pacific and the broad savan-
mas OF the South-all with sffectionate
loyalty to our fraternity.
