URGES ACTIVE ORGANIZATION
Declares the President Has Bestowed
Every Appointment Within His Gift
On Some Trust Puppet and Special
Favors Go to Those Who Can and
Will Pay For Them.

New York, Oct. 4.--William Randolph
Hearst, president of the National Asso-
citation of Democratic Clubs has issued
an address to that association, urging
,,pon its members special activity and
untiring energy from now until the
closing of the polls.' Hearst's address
says in part:
II hope every official, every individ-
ual member of every club in our asso-
citation will do all that he can and more
than ever before to promote and ex-
mound the interests and beliefs of gem
nine jefferson democracy. L call upon
All members of the club to begin earn
est campaign work Immediately to re-
organize where reorganization Is nec-
essary and especially to RESPOND
promptly and energetically to every
suggestion that may come from the ma
tional management of the democratic
party. =
II have offered my services and those
of my newspapers to the managers OF
the democracy and in so far as l have
felt justified as your president in so
doing have offered the much greater in
f1uence of the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs, pledgIng the honest
cooperation of all members to fur-
ther efforts on the lines of that genuine
democracy in which the majority of the
American people believe.
"There are special reasons why the
democrats of the United States should
assert themselves and work energeti-
cally in this campaign. First ana
foremost there is a permanent duty
for us all. We must restore the gov
ernment of this country to the hands
OF the people for whom and by whom
the government was created. AS dem
ocrats we are interested especially this
year in repudiatfng and disprovlng by
earnest. sincere work the charges
made against us. The president of the
United States i'm his formal letter or
acceptance calls all democrats hypo-
crits and time-servers. He says they
are compelled to improvice their con-
victions that it is no wonder they for-
get their convictions over night. 1t is
the duty of members of the Nationa.
Association of Democratic Clubs ana
all democrats to unite in proving that
democrats have principles and perma-
nent principles We should unite TO
preach our democratic beliefs from
now until election day and to vote for
those principles on that day."
Hearst then reviews the democratic
national platform, saying the demos
Gratis mean just what platform says,
and concludes:
"We democrats hold now, as we did
hundred years ago, to the doctrine OF
equal rights for all and special priv
leges for none, while Roosevelts party
and Roosevelt with every appointment.

puppet, hold to the doctrine of speciai

More Than TripIed During the Past
Year.
Des Moines Oct. 4.-The mileage Of
telephone lines in Iowa inc eased three
and half times during the past year.
Whereas in 1903 it was 1908 miles,
in 1904 it was 4S.491 miles
The principal increase was in the
rural lines. This is the REASON that the
assessment recently made by the ex-
e.cutive council did not keep up propor-
tionately with the mileage increase.
The total of the assessment OF the
past year was announced yesterday,
the footing on the extensive assess
ment sheets having just been made.
The property was valued ut SS,SOS,-
1866. This includes tele. graph lines
also.
Last wear the council valued the
lesser mileage at $7.797,4S .16. This
increase of $1O1O,539.60 represents the
Increased mileage Of the simple, rural
lines.

THE PEACE SOCIETY.

Meeting of the Society at Boston
Edwin D. Meade Makes the Princi,
pal Address.

Boston, Oct. AT the first busi-
national peace congress today Rober,
Treat Paine of Boston was elected
president, and Benjamin f. Trueblood,
secretary. fremont Temple was we'll
filled by accredited delegates and spec
tators when Edwin D. Mead, of Bos-
ton. called the meeting to order and
extended welcome in behalf of the
American Peace Society. He assured
the congress that the American people
were waking up and could declare tina,
all playing with fire of militarism in
he said, the real way to check the
building of a great navy in the United
States was by checking the increase
in navies of other powers.
The report of the International peace
bureau for 1904 was read. The report
was devoted to a rehearsal Of numerous
efforts on the part of friends of peace
to induce the Russian and Japanese
governments to have recourse to
friendly solution of the conflict and
other powers, signatory of The
Hague convention to secure a settle
ment of the difficulties between the
belligerents by arbitration or media-
ton. The report says the moment is
perhaps not far off when governments
not involved in conflict will be able in
a collective way to induce the belliger-
ents to listen to the voice of reason,
justice and humanity by insisting upon
the fact that the present war will be
all the more fruitless because neither
of the belligerents can expect effective
support toward realization of it's ambi-
tious purpose for commercial, military
and political supremacy.
In responding as president elect of
the congress, Mr.. Paine expressed
faith that peace thruout the world was
not far distant, the result of which he
said, was to be largely brought about
by cessation of rivalry among nations.
Referring to the question of arbitration
Paine expressed regret that previous
attempts to effect treaty between
Great Britain and America had fail
ed.
I'VE hope" he continued, .that we
shall consummate treaties of arbitra-
ton between all nations of the world.

this connection the speakers character
