TALK TO THE BANKERS.
Postmaster General Smith and Sena-
tor Beveridge Mt n Bauauet

tor Beveridge Mt n Banquet.
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
and Senator Beveridge of Indiana were The
principal speakers at a banquet given by
the State Bankers Association in New
York last night. Mr.. Smith said, in part:
This presence suggests the appropriate
discussion of the hour You are leaders of
the American financial world You direct
and handle the exchanges of this great
metropolis. You and your agencies are the
medium of its commercial connections The
growth of the country finds it's concrete
expression in your operations. The over
mastering fact of the last quarter of a
century is the matchess material expan-
sion of the American republic. Never any
where, at any time, has there been any
approach to this extraordinary advance
ment.
THE figures of our national earnings daz-
gle the imagination. Last year we earned
about S14, 500, 100000, of which more than
one-half was the wages of labor.
Our annual gain is about So 600 600 600
and every succeeding working day sees the
United States over So, 1000 600 better off than
1t was the day before. We have multiplied
our capital more than threefold since 1870,
and to Its present vast proportions we shall
in the next ten years add as much as the
entire capital of the nation was in 1870
with the agricultural and industrial prt-
macy OF the United states among the ma
tons established, and with its financial
primary assured, it remains to round and
complete its ascendancy by accomplishing
its commercial primacy. Foremost then
in every realm of national greatness orr
republic will gloriously move forward in
the fulfllment of its high mission. Com
mercial development is an essential part of
the policy which is the inevitable necessity
of our agricultural and manufacturing SUI
premacy. The requirements of our Indus
trial position compel us to enter upon COM
mercial expansion"
Just as the Postmaster General was CON-
Guiding his speech Gov. Roosevelt entered
the room, accompanied by ex-Gov. Levi P.
Morton. They were given rousng recep-
ton. The bankers stood up and Shouted
their approval as the governor walked by
bowling his Acknowledgements
United States Senator Beveridge was
then introduced. Speaking to the toast
brotherhood in business" he said in part:
My theme shall be union and unity. the
oneness of the American people, the SOL
idarity of all legitimate business, the inter
dependence of all honest enterprise. and
therefore, the brotherhood of ALI who com

needed and the engine which was
running 80 miles an hour crashed
into the freight with the above re-
suit. Engineer w. .. Alley, of The
west bound engine Was so severely
injured that he died on Tuesday.

Kisses at Roosevelt

1t is learned with surprise. amaze
ment and awe that the name of
Theodore Roosevelt was received
with Kisses at a meeting of the non
partisan colored conference held in
Boston the other day. Rev w. H.
Scott, speaking before the conference
said: "They have in this country
rewarded treason aud lauded COW
ardice. They have abused negro
officers in the Philippine Islands.
On the tran ports the negro officers
have to eat in kitchens, while the
white officers eat upstairs You and
| pay taxes for these transports.
Roosevelt Says the negro soldiers
are cowards, and declares he drove
them at the point of a revolver" 1t
may not be very difficult to see how
the members of the non bipartisan
conference will vote i'm November

To Young Men.

Adlai e. Stevenson, Democratic
vice presidential nominee, has this
to say to the young men of the
United States:
Carry to the young men the mes
sage that this is their campaign. 1t
Is their campaign in sense that no
o.her presidenuA- campaign in the
history of our politics has been. The
door of opportunity is closing in
the face of youth. 1t is the mission
of Democracy to open them, and to
place before the young men of am
bition, intelligence and integrity the
hopes that were theirs before the
governmental favoritism and special
privilege politics of our opponents
became so controlling in our Nation

he said there was nothing new to be

cialpolicy of our government could
take place so long as the Republicans
controlled the Senate.
The'trusts. he said, had furnished
money to elec, Mckinley aud were
content with the treatment they had
received from the Republican party
In return. More trusts Md been or
ganized during Mckinley term than
in all our history. They had increas-
ed prices of all articles of common
use under their control nearly 100
per cent during the past year, and
so long as Republicans control leg
islstion they were safe in continuing
their gains.
He agreed with the Kansas CITY
Convention in thinking imperialism
the paramount issue in this cumpmgn
The Republican party, he said, was
