BY far the greatest problem, the most
far-reaching in its stupendous impor
tance. is that problem, or rather that
group of problems, which we have
grown to speak of as the labor Ques-
ton.
The foundation of our whole social
structure rests upon the material and
moral well being. the intelligence, the
foresight, the sanity, the sense of duty
and the wholesale patriotism of the
wage worker. This is doubly so now,
for. in addition to each mans indi-
vidual action, you have learned the
great lesson of acting in combination.
1t would be impossible to overestimate
the far-reaching influence of, and, on
the whole. the amount of good done
through your associations. In address
ing you the one thing that l wish to
avoid is any mere glttering generality,
any mere high-sounding phraseology,
and. above all. any appeal whatsoever
made in n demagogic spirit, or in
spirit of mere emotionalism. When we
come to dealing with our social and in
dustrial needs, remedies, rights and
wrongs. a ton of oratory is not worth
an ounce of hard-headed. kindly com
mon sense. The fundamental law of
healthy political life in this great re
public is that each man shall in deed
and not merely in word be treated
strictly on his worth rs n man; that
each shall do full Justice TO his fellow
and in return shall exact full justice
from him. Each group of men has its
special interests. and yet the higher,
the broader and deeper interests are
those which apply to all men alike, for
the spirit of brotherhood in American
citizenship. when rightly understood
and rightly applied. is more impor-
tant than aught else. Let us scrupu-
lously regard the special interest of the
wage worker. the farmer. the manu-
facturer and the merchants, giving to
each man his due. and also seeing that
he does not wrong his fellows; but let
us ever keep clearly before our minds
the great fact that where the deepest
chords are touched the interests of all
are alike and must be guarded alike.
Beware of Hatred.
We must beware of any attempt to
make hatred in any form the basis of
action. Most emphatically each of us
needs to stand up for his own rights:
all men and all groups of men are
bound to retain their self-respect and
in demanding this same respect from
others to see that they are not injured
and that they have secured to them
the fullest liberty of thought and ac-
ton. But to feel that grudge against
others, while it may or may not harm
them, is sure, in the long run to do
infinitely greater harm to the man him
self
The more a healthy American sees
of ones fellow Americans the greater
grows his conviction that our chief
troubles come from mutual misunder-
standing, from failure to appreciate
one another's point of view. In other
words, the great need is fellow feeling
sympathy. brotherhood; and all this
naturally comes by association. 1t is
therefore of vital Importance that there
should be such association. The most
serious disadvantage in city life is the
tendency of each man to keep isolated
in his own little set, and to look upon
t,a7 yast majority of his fellow citizens
| indifferently so that he soon becomes
to forget that they have the same red

The vessel was found to be leaking rapidly
on May 20, and the pumps were promptly
manned, but it was with great difficulty
that they were kept clear OF gravel and sand
from the ballast. All hands were working
at the pumps, tho water, despite all their
efforts, gaining on them at the rate OF one
foot an hour. Near midnight OF the 4th the

ALARMED OVER CHINA.

Washington Has Not a Word From Pekir
in Three Days.
Washington, Especial. )---sunday was the
OF news from any official source respecting
the critical situation In China.
Inquiries of the .cable companies showed
that the communications by wire with Pekin,
Taku, Tentsin and ali Northern China were
suspended. The War Department received
the following message from the Western
Union headquarters at New York:
"The only news from the Eost is notice
Of the interruption OF the Great Northern
lines between Blagowestchensk and Tschita,
which cuts off all communication with China
and Japan via that route"
The line referred to Is a land wire running
out OF Pekin to Tschita. In the north, and
connecting with the Russian Siberian sys-
tenn. Thence land wires run through Korea
and by short cable across to NagasakI,
Japan
The Navy Department made another effort
is reach Rear-Admiral Kempff on his flag
ship Newark, at the Taku forts. A cable
gram was addressed to the commander OF
sho kuupOdt lOlhtoWu, AT OuclOOy luc DtuI-
est treaty port to Taku, OH the northern side
Of the Shantung peninsula, repeating the
message indited to Admiral Kempff last
Thursday inquiring as to his situation, the
conditions at Pekin and bis need FOR more
men and ships. The Yorktown's commander
was directed to take the message at once to
Taku and return with the answer. The de-
partment is now pretty well assured that the
original message never reached Admiral
KempfT

James Wilson, an American, believed to

The Indians swore vengeance, but Wilson

The head men Of the tribe, including the
outraged girls father condemned the pris-
oner and ordered the most horrible form of
punishment known to the Mayos and one
quite common among them 10 be inflicted.
