!. !. TRUSTS
Should Be Care.
fully Studied.
Don't Attack Them In
Envious Spirit
Said the President In His Speech
Today.

Williamantic, Conn, Aug 23.-The
second day Of the Presidents New
England tour was ideal in sunshine
and temperature. A large crowd was
on hand to cheer the chief magistrate
when lie reached the Hartford depot,
few minutes before eight o'clock.
The president had spent the night at
the residence Of John Il. Robinson,
Governor McLeans private Secretary,
After the exercises at the Coliseum
last evening the President held a
small reception at Mr.. Robnson's. The
President struck up quite a friend
ship with Mayor Sullivan, the leader of
the labor party in Hartford. The
Mayor was at the depot this morning
to say goodbye to the President and
another long confidential talk ON wage
questions was the result
A bitter squabble took place at
Hartford between the forces of Mayor
Sullivan and ex-Mayor HARRISON, each
side wishing to run the show. Finally
the Sullivanltes won out and took all
the glory worth getting out Of the en-
tertainment.
At Williamantic the President was
taken for drive through the city.
In speech today the President took
the trusts for his theme. He said;
I'm dealing with great aggregations
Of capital, we must exercise all our
Judgment and avoid any spirit of envy
that fills the souls of those who have
failed to winn fortune and who are
eager to tear down those builded by
the. industry and wisdom of others. We
must possess qualities of prudence,
self-knowledge and self-restraint.2
His whole speech was made up OF
advice not to attack the trusts until
they had been intelligently studied; not
to let prejudice or envy sway those
who would legislate against the big
combinations.

husband should obtain a divorce" she
said. II know what I'm talking about,
too. My first husband, DR.. Chas
Gloyd, killed himself by excessive
drinking / was widow for six years,
then married David Nation. 1 lived
with him for 90 years."
Reatiye to David, she said he oh
tanned divorce from her, largely be-
cause he was n Republican, and hated
to see one of the Republican strong
holds attacked by his wife. "The Re
publican party nourishes the liquor
evil as one of its favorite children"
she said. "But 1t would be the same
way If the Democrats were in power.
Mrs. Nation also attacks the sale of
intoxicants on railway trains. "They
are nothing but saloons on wheels"
she said. "While was coming here
from Lima the porter served drink
of whisky to a woman who was in
the same coach with me. / lectured
her severely, hut she never replied.
There was also gambling on the train"
Mrs. Nations manager James e.
Turlong, of Rochester, N. Y, Joined
her later IN the day. 1e
"IIe Is the man who paid all my
fines and got me out of jail at Tope-
ka," said Mrs. Nation. There seems
to be considerable money in my lee
lures, and / also think they are doing
lots of good" ~
Among her concluding remarks, Mrs.
Nation said Love is the compelling
influence of the world" ss .
But how can you show love I'm
smashing the property Of saloonists?"
was asked.
1T is wholly an act of love-" she re-
Piled '"The saloonists are doing
wrong, and to do something that will
cause them to halt, and mend their
ways, so as to escape eternal damna.
tlon, is certainly an act Of love for
their benefit The gentle are the brave,
and the loving the daring"
Mrs, Nation always carries with her
a number of little hatchets, which she
gives away as souvenirs.
From hare Mrs. Nation will go to
Gallon, leaving Akron late tonight.
FROM Gallon she will go to Mt. Vernon
and from there to Youngstown, CON-,
pleting her present tour of Ohio. g'
At noon at the Windsor Mrs. Nation
swept into the dining room with a
great rustling Of silk skirts, and SET
tied herself at table occupied by
Mr.. p. II. O'Nell She promptly enl
gagged him in conversation. and he ac-H
cepted her invitation to hear her speak

VICTORY
In Sight For Blue
Squadron.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. % Command
er Pillsbury and his fleet of three aux
iliary cruisers are still at sea. Unless
the commander Of the white squadron
makes an attempt to reach harbor
within the next 4S hours, his efforts
to win victory In the game Of mimic
war will fail, for Theoretically II will
be considered that his ships have sunk
or he has found that the blockade es-
tablished by Admiral Higginson from
Portland, to Cape Cod cannot be brok-
en-.
II is only fair to say that naval ex-
perts believe Admiral Higginson's de-
Tense is good. Everything favored an
attack by the enemy yesterday, but
no scout Of the blue squadron report
ed signs of Commander Pillsbury's
fleet. Fog and storm swept the Goa st
during the afternoon and, while for a
time last night the sky was clear, the
haze on the water continued.

Drawn by Judge
Geo. Okey.
Democratic Measure To
Be introduced.
Proposed School Code Is Nearly
Completed.

Columbus, Aug. 23-It is now as
sured that the Democrats will have a
code bill in the Legislature. 1t leak
ed out last night that the bill is prac.
tically prepared, but its provisions will
not be given out until after the Legis'
lature convenes and the message OF
Gov. Nash has been read and his code
introduced.
The Democratic measure has been
drawn by Judge George Okey, of
Columbus, whose address on the gov
ernment of municipalities before the
Columbus Board of Trade few weeks
ago has been published and distributed
broadcast over the state by the State
Board of Commerce. He has been as
sisted In his work by a number Of
eminent attorneys, and the bill is
drawn along the lines laid down by
Judge Okey in his address. 1t will
grant home rule to all municipalities,
but instead Of providing for constitu-
tional conventions In all cities and VII
lages, it will vest power in the coun-
ellis to provide for the government Of
municipalities within certain llmita-
tions.

'The school laws of the state are in
