in an attempt to untangle his kite from the
branches of tree in the stable yards of

covering. The burns he sustained and the
wounds caused by the amputation of his
fingers are healing, and it is expected he
will be removed to his parents home with
in the next week.
There is reported to be a great need for
a new storm flag for No. fire engine house.

one which now does duty over the house
can hardly be distinguished as a flag All

is a small field of stars and few streamers
of red and white about four inches in
length, the colors being considerably faded.
1t Is stated that the residents of that Sec
ton will petition the Georgetown Citizens
Association at its fall meeting to exert
it's influence in an effort to secure a new
flag. The foreman of the fire company pre-
scented a requisition for a flag to the Dis
trict officials about June 80, but as yet his
request has not been granted.

inent people Of the country, Mr.. John R.

Increase of Trade.

an San Francisco Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland there are very positive evidences
of this increase of trade. One of the most
gratifying spectacles witnessed along the
wharves of these cities is the large ship
ment of American goods which are being
sent to the orient. This does not alone mean
the Philippine islands, but the prestige and
commercial influence of our relations with
those islands has also opened up the vast
trade of the surrounding countries, such as
China, Japan, Corea and adjoining island
possessions. The positive assurance of the
construction of an isthmian canal has al
ready had d favorable effect upon condi-
tons on the Pacific coast great bust
ness enterprise is so close to them is the
completion of this work.
What Importance is being given the
trusts the Pacific coast?"
Il can simply answer that by saying that
the very positive position assumed by the
President in reference to the question of
trusts means that the people of the west
have confidence in his ability to deal with
that question in a satsfa Glory way"

Have Not Been Asked.

Senator Tilman and Senator McLaurin
have not been asked to take any part in
the campaign by the democrats. The rea-
son for not asking Senator Tillman is not
stated. and. Of course, Senator McLaurin
is not considered a democrat.
The list Of southern states might be gone
over with the same result, so far as an
eligible speaker is concerned. Representa-
tives Robinson and Broussard of Louisiana
may make a few speeches, and Florida also
may contribute to the list. Senator Car
mack also is going to deliver several
speeches during the month of October but
there is a decided feeling of dissatisfaction
at democratic headquarters toward those
members of Congress and state officials who
should respond promptly to the call of the
committee. but who have only done so to
make excuses of their unavaila bility.
Chairman Griggs of the committee and
Representative Clayton of Alabama are at
Dover. Del. today to address the demo-
cratic state convention, which has its in
itial meeting. Mr.. Griggs will spend a few
days in New York before he returns to
Washington looking after the financial end
of the situation When he does return
again to headquarters it is expected that
he will remain here until election day.

To Follow Presidents Trail.

The Presidents western trail is to be fol-

of Texas. who will endeavor to counterfeit
what Mr.. Roosevelt shall say. Senator
Culberson Of Texas will be unable to do
any campaigning on account of the illness
Of his wife. A single close district in
Texas will keep all of the members from
that state at home as they have all prom
ised to assist their CLOSE friend. Repre-
sentative Jackson Of Kansas fell recently

NUMEROUS EXCUSES
Democratic Speakers Are Not
Available.
COMMITTEES APPEAL
NEITHER TILLMAN NOR McLAU-
Rim ASKED.
Some Of Those Who Are Willing
to Go Into the Cam
paign.
COMMITTEES APPEAL

Fifteen or twenty conditional promises to
speak in the congressional campaign this
fall represents the sum total of democratic
oratory the congressional campaign commit
tee has been able to muster, notwithstand-
ing untiring efforts and hundreds of per-
sonal letters of appeal. Instead OF the hum
bred and half Of speakers which should be
listed at this time, the committee has the
finest collection of excuses from democratic
Representatives in Congress, senators and gov
ernors, to say nothing of minor state and
federal officials. who have been sounded on
this all-important question, that has ever
been collected.
Troubles at home" sick family loss
of voice." absolute necessity for rest" One
had married a wife, another had bought Il
piece Of ground. etc.
A final appeal is to go forth today from
the committee, and this appeal will be word.
ed in no uncertain language. Democrats OF
the south, who have begged to be excused
from going out of their own district on the
ground that they feared trouble at home.
will be labored with, and the folly of their
timidity shown to them in vigorous words.
Livingston is on Hand.
Standing out in striking contrast to his
colleagues is Representative Lon Livingston
of Georgia. Mr.. Livingston is the only dem
ocrat in the House who has rendered his
services to the committee Internationally
and without expense. He will be held up as
an example of what ought to DE done by at
least $50 more of the faith. The conditions
which govern the other fifteen or twenty
speakers, who have consented to do little
campaign work, are such that they cannot
be controlled absolutely by the committee.
and cannot be sent at moments notice.
is often required, to fill an urgent de-
mand.
Not single speech will be delivered by
Representative Richardson. democratic
floor leader in the House. Mr.. Richardson
Is in bad health. Mr.. DeArmond of Mis-
souri,. one Of the best democratic speakers in
the House, be utilized only in his own
state. Representative Champ Clark, most
forceful campaigner, and one who has here
tofore been greatly sought after, is deliver
ing a lecture tour. He cannot campaign.
Representative Williams of Mississippi
has consented to place himself under the
orders Of the committee during a part of
the month Of October. Representative I'm
derwood the democratic whip" of the
House. Is under treatment for his health at
the French Lick Springs, in Indiana, and
will probably not be able to deliver any
speeches this fall.
