the democrats in the senate will intro
duce a resolution, soon after congress

openly charged that the president paid
none of the expenses of his trip, to the
Pacific coast by special train. which
lasted sixty-six days. but tina. the ex-
penses of every kind. including wines,
liquors and food We're paid by the
railroads, over which the train ran.

The Sordid Root of 1t.
Mexican Herald.l

The intense pursuit of material OBJ
jects, the mad passion to be rich, the
turning of the minds of millions of men
to one sordid object, to the neglect
of spiritual thoughts and the ,ultiva-
ton of noble ideals---these, We must
believe, are the causes of the bringing
back into our times TO the tortures
employed in the middle ages. The
crowd see men of superior mental force
solely intent, by any means, on ac-
quiring vast fortunes; 1t sees legisla-
ton attacked by the wealthy briber
and force in all its naked brutality sue
cessful, and the populace reasons that
religion is a farce and the piNus pre-
tense of the preachers a wretched
mockery. The ideas of whole peo-
pie are sensibly lowered. and as sure
as fate, the dikes once down, in comes
the roaring sea of sensuality, hot hat
reds and fierce brutality.

Twenty Third Annual Session conven-
ed at Niagara Falls Today-Governor
odeII Delivers Address Of Welcome.

Niagara Falls, N. r., Sept. 22-The
Farmers National Congress assembled
here today In its twenty third annual
session. Governor Odell delivered the
address Of welcome.
Governor Odell. after a few prefa-
tory words said: THE recognition

and state governments to the farming
interests of our country might at frs.
glance appear to be in the direction of
paternalism, yet 1t is as important In
its effects as any legislation which can
be enacted for the benefit OF the peo-
pie as a whole. 1t Is as much the duty
of the government to aid in Develop
ment of the soil of the country as 1t Is
to protect its artisans against unjust
determinations or unfair competition
at home or abroad; to aie7in promoting
material welfare of Its citizens as 1t
is to stamp out disease OF epidemic,
which may threaten the lives of indl-
viduals. This encouragement which the
government extends does not lead to
a dependent spirit, but rather makes
our citizenship more self-reliant and
more patriotic
The governor discussed the qualities
that go to make a good citizen, say
ing that one of the first duties of our
country is to fight ceaselessly and en-
ergetically against all classes who defy
the law, and whose principles are a
menace to society Governor OdeH en-
tered plea in behalf Of politicians
and public officers whose efforts are
directed to the peoples good, and pro-
tested against the carping criticism
and assumption that because man IS
a politician he Is necessarily dlshonese.
In conclusion he said:
1T is your duty to use your influence
and YOUR power to better conditions
and win back to useful membership IN
an far by force of example, those whose
environment has not been such as to
make Of them good citizens. To use
the power which you possess IN the
halls of legislation. to correct abuses
which may exist, and to aid in the hight

and benevolent people against disease

aid those who do not enjoy advantages
necessary to give them the conception
of what liberty in our country means.
