President Addresses a Large As.
semblage on Site for Lewis and
Clark Monument.
More Ships Like the Oregon Needed
Invalid Child Kissed by
the President.

Portland, Oregon, May 22.-President
Roosevelt travelled thru the fertile Will
lamette valley yesterday. after speaking
warmly Of the G. A. r. and the members
of the Second Oregon regiment, who
fought in the Philippines, he said:
1T Is not only the lesson Of what these
people did In war that we need to learn
It is the applied lesson Of fellowship that
they teach you. Fundamentally in this
country we are free from the dreaded
curse Of religious hatred and persecution
which has worked so much evil in times
past in the world at large. We In Ameri-
ca are to be held thrice blessed that the
chance for animosity between Jew and
Gentle or between Christian sects has
become enthusiastically small to the van
ishing point
Kissed an invalid Child. .
On the way to the station in Salem the
president noticed an invalid child lying
on a stretcher on the curbstone. He
stopped his carriage, alighted and kissed
the little girl.
In this city The made two speeches. one
at the laying of the cornerstone Of the
Lewis and Clark monument and another
at the banquet held in his honor last night
by citizens.
When the president reached the city
park 5000 persons had assembled there
to witness the laying of the cornerstone
of the Lewis and Clark monument. Be-
fore laying the cornerstone the president
said:
Cornerstone Speech.
1--WE come here to-day to lay the cor
nerstone of a monument that is to call to
mind the greatest single pioneering feat
across this continent, the journey OF
Lewis and Clark, which received the
recognition Of Jefferson and his fellows
by giving to the United States all the
domain between the Mississippi and the
Pacific. It was a pleasure for me to-day
to have for a part Of my escort the men
Of the Second Oregon, who carried an ex-
pansion Of our country across the Pacific,
as your fathers have carried 1t to the Pa
cific.
II ask that this nation go forward as in
the past. I ask that it shape it's life In
accordance with the highest IDEAS 1 ask
that we govern the Philippines primarily
in the interest Of the people Of the
islands. and just so long as we have mer
like Taft, and Luke Wright they will be
so governed. IS, 3ss- / ii $50 sl.s:

was no one left to kill
The following morning the desolations
was CHASTITY. Wherever the eye looked 1t
saw smoke, ruins, blood fragments OF
food, tattered garments. broken. costly:
furniture rich ornaments, jewels-all
kinds OF scattered wealth in confused
piles. And about each heap OF what had
been a beautiful homo stood a group OF,
isurviyors emerged from hiding, their
souls scared with agony. Until now these
survivors had been terrified. They had
sno time for tears, But now their fear had
h; abated; they began to realize their be-
Ereayement, their loneliness. For the first
time their tears fell fast and hot. Every
where encountered fathers that had
survived all they had possessed in the.
world; mothers widowed. childless. penni-
less, staring at vacancy; little boys and
girls left all alone.
Poison for Survivors.
'.Soon the children began to feel the
bite Of hunger. They sobbed for bread.
But all the bakeries had been demolished.

pearance of sympathy, were bringing
loads of bread thru the ruins The chill

Next appeared wagons filed with good
bread brought in by Jews from the neigh
boring towns This bread was divided SO
that each person should receive one
loaf. Then for the first time, my dear
friend, / felt my heart melting with
!. new sort of anguish, as I saw those who

take each his place in line to await the

Jew as he received his loaf, muttered,
with trembling lips, our prayer, Praised

of officials here and a close watch will
be maintained for any prospective large
Russian-Jewtsh emigration to the United
States, Should the government satisfy
itself that measures which the Russian
authorities could prevent are responsible
for the exodus Of Jews from that country
to America, proper representation will
be made to St. Petersburg. An exami-
nation Of official documents discloses that
there is precedent for such a course.
On May II, 1898, w. @ Gresham, secre-
tary Of state, telegraphed Andrew D.
White, then minister at st. Petersburg, as
follows:
Representations made here that Rus
sian government is about to- enforce edict
against Jews, which will result in a large
emigration Of destitute people Of that
class to the United States II there is
foundation for what we hear you will
please ascertain and report as speedily
as possible the terms of the edict and
the probable effect
Mr.. White made an exhaustive report
in which he said that while no new edict
had been issued against the Jews. the old
edicts were being enforced with great
severity. He attributed this renewal of
the anti Semitic agitation in great meas
ure If not entirely to the assassination OF
Gar Alexander II. Secretary Gresham in
his response to Mr.. White said that the
-
lands earnest attention and added:
1T has been for some time evident that
the measures adopted by the imperial
government against the Jews, altho pro-
fessedly a domestic policy directly affect
ing the subjects of the czar are calcu-
lated to injuriously affect the American
people by abruptly forcing upon ou1
shores a numerous class of immigrants
destitute of resources and united il
many important repects for absorption
into our body polite. The continued en-
forcement of such harsh measures neces.
sarily forcing upon us large numbers Of
degraded and undesirable persons who
| must in great measure be supported can.
not be regarded as consistent with the
| friendship which the Russian government
has long protested for the United States
The .edict Of which Mr.. Gresham hat
heard was subsequently issued, but there
| is nothing to show in the correspondence
obtainable that it caused the United
States government to protest agains
Jewish emigra ton from Russia to this
| country. An inquiry was made however
about a report that Russian consuls i,
Europe were paying the passage none,
of Russian Jews bound for the United
States. This report was officially denied
by the st. Petersburg foreign office.

Auditor Was Looking Up Swamp Lands
Instead Of Mines.

State Auditor Iverson, with Captain R.
HI. Jewett of his office and C.. w. Som
erby,. assistant attorney general, returned
to-day from st. Louis county, where they
have been looking at some land the state
is trying to get under the swamp land act.
They were very much surprised to read in
a morning paper that they had been in
vestigating the matter of mineral lease
royalties. According to this story Mr..
Iverson had information. that the railroads
had failed to make proper reports of state
ore hauled and he was looking into the
matter.
Mr.. Iverson said this morning that he
had no such reports and no such knowl-
edge. AS far as he knew proper returns
had been made tho the state has no
means Of checking them up While near
the mines they visited some Of the proper
ties, but not as a result Of any complaint,
and they found nothing wrong.

SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY.

Former President Cleveland strong
ly intimates in a brief article in a
current publication. that some Of the
old virtue and patriotism Of the
American rural world are needed tC
restore the equilibrium in society and
check the venal Influences Of sordid
ness and greed. Other observers have
uttered warnings against certain cor
rupting tendencies, propagated from
centers of trade. and there is a pos
sibility that an issue Of the near flu
ture will be manhood and manliness
against serfdOm and the debauchery
cultivated by the accumulation OF
vast wealth and the concentration OF
power.
According to q majority of serious
thinkers, the cities are mainly the
sources Of the contamination, while
the causes are conceded to be the laS
means employed in efforts to get rich
easily and quickly, me oppression
pac>.ccG by possessOrs OF great
wealth, the usurpatiOn and abuse OF
power by individuals and combina
tons, and the Ills and crimes of poll
tics. The causes are enlarged tC
elaborate detail. but, in simple terms
they are the few mentioned.
Maybe there is not as much reason
rs patriots and perfervid sociOlOgistE
advance in depreciation of existing
conditions. However, there can be NJ
doubt that a higher standard Of pa
tNiOtjsm and a more strict compliance
with the simple laws of morals would
produce more serenity and aid re
markedly in removing the most PERM
cious and hazardous Of the disturbin!

their influences are facilitating the
social structure, it is better that the
revolution be led by men of stabIllty,
force and principle OF strong hear 5

ism, than that the masses should have
to obey the commands of morose and
radical malcontents Reform would

by its realization, the banes OF an
archy would be required.
Probably it is good for the nation,
and even for humankind in general,
that reliable, conservative, totally
sane sOciologists are defining the is
sues and the remedies. Otherwise
the drift toward extreme socialism
might be accelerated here as much as
abroad. Thousands are attracted to
this extreme through teachings that
seem new, but are really old, and in
the belief that it alone stands for a
popular type of reform.

HANNA GOT COLD FEET.

Mark Hanna did not have the grit
to enter into a series of joint debates
with his democratic opponent, John
II. Clarke. The latter is said to be
one OF the ablest debaters in the
country. and Mark concluded that in
dealing with this challenge discretion
would be the better part Of valCr.
Hanna has only one speech and that
is to shout stand pat for a high
tariff, prosperity and a full dinner
pail But The workingmen Of his
own town of Cleveland and elsewhere
in Ohio are fast learning that their
high wages depend upon union labor
organizations more than upon tariff
duties. and they show a disposition to
cast their votes for Tom Johnson and
John Clarke. OF course with over
one hundred thousand republican ma
jOrity to overcome the chances are
largely in favor of Hanna and Her
rick. but the other fellows are put
ting up a game fight and have the
fun Of soaring the Hannaites nearly
to death whatever the result OF the
contest may be.

JUDAS WANTS HIS PRICE.

The six republican holdover sena-
tors from King county, who have the
distinction of belonging to the Gin
famous thirteen" held a secret meet
ing a few days ago and it is said de-
cided to oppose Sam Piles candidacy
for the United States senate and to
support one of their number, Doc
Smith, president of the state senate,
for the office of governor.
There is little doubt that Smith
was promised this nominotion by the
Ankeny-Stevenson lobby last winter
as a partial consideration for his be-
trayal of Harold Preston. The King
county bunch have endeavored to
square themselves with their outrag-
ed constituents by asserting that they
were also promised the next United
States senator, but it is hardly prob
able that the lobby promised both the
governorship and seat in the United
States senate to King county. Even
if Smith were nominated for governor
he would be beaten as badly as Sui
Ivan in 1896, if the democrats show
any sense at all in selecting their
nominee and in making their plat
form.
1t is now plain that Smith sold out
Preston in order to- boost himself as
candidate for governor. But ever
since the days Of Judas decent people
have despised traitors and it is not
on record that they have elected such
men to public Office after finding them
