IA UNION MAN NOW.
President Roosevelt Admitted to
Brotherhood Of Firemen.
He said He Believed EmphatIcauy in Or
ganized Labor and That 1t Had Never
Yet Made an UnreasOnahle De-
mand Upon Him.


Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Monday was elected
an honorary member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen. He
attended the executive session of the
order in the morning, walking from
the hotel to the auditorium, a dis
lance of "a few blocks, escorted by
Grand Master Sargent, a committee
of the Brotherhood and detachment
of troop B, state guard. The broth
erhood first held its executive ses-
sion. Acting Grand Master Hanna-
han welcomed the president, stating
that his attendance at the conyen-
ton would do great good to organ
lied labor, not only in this country,
but in Canada and other countries as
we'll.
The president returned his thanks
for the welcome and said he was glad
to be with the brotherhood. He said
the fremen's brotherhood was a re-
suit which naturally comes from the
application of the principle of COM
mon sense to their work. He said
that organized labor had never made
an unreasonable request of him and
that if it had he would have denied
it,
John F. AIcNamee, of Columbus, O.,
sone-of the grand officers and demo-
cratic member of the legislature,
moved that the degree of grand hon
orary membership be conferred upon
President Roosevelt. The motion was
referred to the committee on con-
stitution and bylaws, whose recon-
mendation was unanimous that the
motion be accepted. The report of
the committee was adopted by a ris-
ing, unanimous vote and amid great
cheers.
President Roosevelt was intro
duced by Acting Grand Master Han
nahan. His reception was most en-
thusiastic, the audience rising to its
feet and cheering. When the presi-
dent addressed the convention as
my brothers he was cheered again.
He said. he was glad to be here and
joined with the others in extending
a cordial welcome to the visitors
from Canada and Mexico. He needed
no pressing, he said, to come to this
meeting. 81 always have, gentle
men, admired the railroad men of
the country and I do not see how
anyone who believes in the funda-
mental principles of citizenship. can
fail to do so'' He compared the
railroad men to soldiers who are ac-
customed to taking risks, acting on
their own initiative and obeying or
ders. The president referred to the
good work accomplished by the
RrOtherhOod- of T,OcOmOfive Firemen
''I believe emphatically," he said,
Gin organized labor. The worth Of
an organization depends upon its be-
ing handled with the courage, the
skill, the wisdom, the spirit of fair
dealing as between man and man and
the wise seIf-restraint which I am
glad to be able to say your brother
hood has shown"

THE DAFFY DIALOGUES.

George, dear, do you think there is
any truth in the story about the Ger
man crown prince wanting to marry a
pretty American girl?"
mo, my love. 1t was largely news
paper romance, no doubt. The prince
saw the girl, smiled upon her perhaps;
maybe he danced with her. And then
some gossip started the story. That's
all there is to it. I'll wager"
''And yet, George, such thing might
happen. Just think how you would
feel if our daughter should attract the
attention of an emperor's son and he
should ask your CONSENT"
"WelI,'' said George, according to
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, 81 can tell
you one thing, he'd have to show a
pretty clean bill of health and morals
before he'd get her. But don't worry.
my Iove-at least not until we have
daughter to worry over"
"Oh, George, you're so practical.
Of course can appreciate to some
extent how we would feel if our son
was a crown prince. and he should come
home some day and say: Wei, par
ents, I've made up my mind to marry
pretty girl I met at the hotel the
other day That would be dreadful,
wouldn't it? And when we asked who
she was he would probably answer
that he didn't know, and didn't care.
but that he was going to marry her
Just the same. You wouldn't like that,
would you, GeoFge?"
Scarcely. I've no doubt I'd feel
very Iauch as the kaiser might"

you drop this nonsense right here and
now. You know you've got to marry
your cousin, the Hof-princess of Sic

"And suppose he said he wouldn'tdo
it, George?"

grateful young limb. I'm going to lock
you up in the castle of Kirschwasser-
Pretzelburg on the B1ihekerstein-
Hofbrau, until you begin to cuItivatea

"And would you separate two loving
hearts in that cruel way, George ?''

HOyt Couples sad Plight.

A marriage was soIemnized at Hoyt
which was followed within an hour
by the separation of husband and
wife in terror of the law. The prin-
:clpals were Charles BeVins and Bessie
HanIne. They were married at the
home of the bride in the midst of a
company by Rev. G. 81. Clarke. An
hour after the ceremony the preach
er found out that the groom and
bride were first cousins, a degree of
consanguinity that is forbidden in
marriage by the Kansas law. He
hurried around town hunting for the
happy young couple. He found them
at the depot, just starting on their
bridal tour. He told them they were
not legally married and that they
must separate. There were tears
and protestations, but the bride re-
turned to her fathers house and the
groom went his way.-Kansas City
