A Hard Greed.
This is not a soft and easy creed to
preach. II is a creed willingly learned
only by men and women who. together
with the softer virtues. possess also :he
stronger; who can do, and dare, and die
at need, but who while life lasts will
never finch from their allotted task.
You farmers, and wage workers. AMI
business men OF this great State. of This
mighty and wonderful nation, are gath
cred together today, proud of your State
and still prouder of your nation. be-
cause your forefathers and predecessors
have lived up to just this creed. You
have received from their hands a great
inheritance, and you will leave an even
greater Inheritance TO your children and
your children's children. provided only
that you practice alike in your private
and your public lives the strong virtues
that have given us as people greatness
in the past
''It is not enough to be weli-meaning
and kindly, but weak; neither Is it
enough to be strong, unless morality
and decency go hand in hand with
strength. We must possess the quali-
ties which make us do our duty in our
homes and among our neighbors, and
in addition we must possess the quail
ties which are Indispensable to the
makeup of every great and masterful
nation-the qualities of courage and
hardihood, of individual initiative and
yet OF power to combine for common
end. and above all the resolute deter
mination to permit no man and no set
OF men to sunder US one from the other
by lines of caste or creed or section
One for All; All for One.
I'VE must act upon the motto of all
for each and each for all. There must
be ever present in our minds the fund
amental truth that in republic such as
ours the only safety is to stand neither
for nor against any man because he Is
rich or because he is poor. because he
is engaged in one occupation or another,
because he works with his brains or be-
cause he works with his hands. We
must treat each man on his worth and
merits as man.
we must see that each is given a
square deal, because he is entitled to
no more and should receive no less.
Finally we must keep ever in mind that
a republic such as ours can exist only
in virtue of the orderly liberty which
comes through the equal domination of
the law over all men alike, and through
its administration in such resolute and
fearless fashion as shall teach all that
it."

ROUGH ON RATS ENDS
ERNEST SHANLEY'S LIFE
Took Two Ounces of Poison Be-
cause He Was "Worried."

Late last night Maria Davis. a
negress. rushed into the Seventh pre-
cinct police station with the statement
that Ernest Shamley. a negro, twenty
six years old. had taken rough on rats
with suicidal intent. and that he had
been taken TO the Columbia Hospital by
another nesress named Virginia Range.
About this time the authorities of Co.
lumbia Hospital telephoned the Emer-
gency Hospital that the man was there.
and had been given an antidote, and re-
quested that the Emergency Hospital
take charge or the case. This was done.
Shamley being transferred in the Emer-
gency Hospital ambulance At the
Emergency Hospital every effort was
made 10 save the mans life but without
success. He died at O'Clock this morn
ing.
By the time he reached Emergency
Hospital the man was so far gone that
he could not speak but he was still CON
scious, and replied TO questions by nod
ding the head. II was learned in this
way that he took the poison deliberately
giving as his reason that he was "wor-
ried.' lie said he had taken the con-
tents Of a two-Ounce box. such as is sold
in grocery and drug stores.
II was learned that Shamley had not
lived with his wife for some time. His
address is variously given as 1869 and
1876 Twenty eighth Street northwest.
At ore number lives his wife. and at
another the woman who notified the
police. Coroner hewitt issued a certifi-
cate of death by suicide. and the body
was removed TO the morgue. where it
still lies, awaiting a claimant.

POOR HUNTING IN MARSHES.

The sportsmen who expected favor
able tide in the marshes of this neigh
borhood were disappointed. The con
tinuance of the northwest wind prevented
the flow of waters into the marshes and
lowlands, where sora most abound. AS
a consequence the birds remained there
in large quantities. Wild oats. their
principal food, have seldom been more
luxuriant than now. Very many Wash
ingtonians have their skiffs at the
marshes and on the coming of the tide a
very great harvest will probably be
gathered.

Railroad earnings may fall off next

merely be throwing valuable invest

On last Wednesday the directors Of
the Atchison road approved a rough
draft Of the annual report for 1908, and
it will be made public. 1t Is expected,
in about two weeks. 1t is understood
that surplus equal TO per cent earn
ed on the stock Will be shown before
the sinking fund for the serial deben-
lures is deducted. The company's net
earnings for the twelve months show
decrease of 81 BIZ. .501. This was be-
cause. while the gross earnings increas-
ed s3,215,342, expenses were $i,527,S43
greater than in 1902. AS there will be
a small increase in fixed charges. the
surplus left, after the preferred divi-
dend payments and after deduction Of
81, 500. 900 for the sinking fund on deben-
lures, will be between IS, 800 900 and
Sc, 600 900, or 51z to S per cent on the
common stock. It is thought, however,
the report will indicate that the true
earning capacity of the road is con-
siderably more than the surplus which
will actually be shown.

The London Daily Mall has discov-
cred that the excessive borrowing in
dulged in during recent years by muni-

up so much of their resources in such

Wise Laws Cited.

Such laws as the franchise-tax law
in this State, which the court of ap-
peals recently unanimously decided con-
stitutional-such a law as that passed
in Congress last year for the purpose
of establishing a Department of Com
merce and Labor, under which there
should be a bureau TO oversee and Sc
cure publicity from the great corpora
tions which do an interstate business
such law as that passed at the same
time for the regulation of the great
highways of commerce so as TO keep
these roads clear on fair terms to all
producers in getting their goods 70 mar
ket-these laws are In the interest not
merely of the people as a whole, but OF
the propertied classes.
For In no way is the stability Of
property better assured than by making
IT patent to our people that property
bears its proper share of the burdens of
the state; that property is handled not
only in the interest of the owner. but In
the interest OF the whole community.
In other words. legislation to be perma-
nently good for any class must also be
good for the nation as whole. and legis-
lation which does injustice to any class
is certain to work harm to the ma
tion

The Government already has on de-
posit with national banks s150.OOO, 900.
and If the Secretary of the Treasury
deposits SAC, ,OOO, 900 he will doubtless
accept other than Government bonds for
security. A rather interesting, not to
say alarming. situation would develop
If at any time the Government were
forced to recall its deposits in national
banks. OF course, there is no possi-
bility of such a development in these
days of Federal Treasury prosperity.
The national banking institutions are
reducing their collateral and enlarging
their commercial loans. so now most of
the credit on which Wall Street specu-
lates is extended by institutions and in
dividual lenders outside the clearing
house. This is why the extensive liqui-
dation in stocks was not reflected in the
weekly bank statements, for the liqui-
dation was outside the banks.
W. H. Allen, IN an article in the cur
rent number of the "Sewanee Review" :"
makes up a table of the sales and pur-
chases of shares by foreigners on the
New York Stock Exchange, and he finds
that for the four years 1s9S-1901 the net
excess of purchases over sales was
3,797 900 shares, while in 1902 alone did
the sales exceed the purchases. and then
by only 427, 900 shares. The net showing
for the five years is, therefore, that pur-
chases were in the lead by 100000
shares. AS to direct sales and purchases

The Currency System.

AHC NullCnCy OyStcm-
Take our currency system for exam
pie. This nation Is on a gold basis The
Treasury of the public is in excellent
condition. Never before has the per
capita of circulation been as large as it
is this day; and this circulation, more
over. is of money, every dollar of which
is at par with gold. Now, our having
this sound currency system is of benefit
10 banks, of course, but is is of inf
nitely more benefit to the people as a
whole, because OF the healthy effect on
business conditions.
I'm the same way. whatever is advis-
able in the way of remedial or correct
i've currency legislation-and nothing
is advisable under present
be undertaken from
the standpoint of the business commun-
ity as a whole, that is, OF the American

the right to ask that he shall be pro-
tected from wrongdoing as he does his
work and carries his burden through
life. No man needs sympathy because
he has to work. because he has burden
to carry. Far and away the best prize
that life offers is the chance to work
hard at work worth doing; and this is
a prize open to every man. for there
can be no work better worth doing than
that done to keep in health and com
fort and with reasonable advantages
those Immediately dependent upon the
husband. the father. or the son.
No Room for Idler.
There is no room in our healthy
American life for the mere idler, for
the man or woman whose object 1t is
life to shirk the duties
which life ought 10 bring. Life can
mean nothing worth meaning. unless its
prime aim is the doing of duty. the
achievement OF results worth achieving.
A recent writer has finely said: After

to honor in all this land are those who,
in the iron years from '61 TO '65. bore
on their shoulders the burden of saving
the Union. They did not choose the
easy task. They did not shirk the difi-
