THE WORKINGMAN's FRIEND.
Railway Firemen Pay Notable Trib'
ute to President Roosevelt

No President ever received a more
notable tribute from a la Dor organiza
tion than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen held in Buffalo. A pub
lie meeting was held on the night Of
Sept. 10. Fully 1000 persons were in
I attendance
Grand Master Hannahan, in conclud-
/ ing an address. called attention to the
I fact that New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an honorary membership in the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen.
Let me say" said Mr.. Hannahan. that
if the President of the United States or
any other Of its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
organization he will neither merit the i'll
will nor deserve the censure of any Of
his fellow-men. (Cheers.)
IF the rest Of the public, and particu-
larry those who are intrusted with the
direction of our government and the
management Of the nations greatest ell
terprises would do as the President and
meet us upon a common level there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more Of peace and goodwill in the
industrial wOrld''
What has the President done for
your shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right. |
What has the President done?" re- |
peated Grand Master Hannahan. "The |
President has proven 10 the organized |
Of this country that he has |
IN interest in their welfare by accepting
IN honorary membership in an Organiza-
ion Of men whose faces are begrimed
y smoke and dust, and who daily and
.ourly face the gravest dangers"
The monster audience burst into
eafening cheers. The tumult rolled
rom wall TO wall and back again. Men
TODD up on the benches, wildly waving
heir hats and cheering for the Presi-
ent. The demonstration was spon-
lneouS and was general all over the hall.
'inally it died down and some one in
ne audience shouted:
'Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt
And again the crowds burst into {
beers and when the second demonstra-
on died out the intoxicated man was !
owhere to be seen. {
During the demonstration the men Oh {
le stage sat silent and made no effort ,
ther TO check or urge on the remark L
hle ovation which the President had re- d
lived. The Brotherhood does not per- I
it politics to influence its action, but
$ members, regardless of party. enter
in high opinion of President Roose-
elt and will stand 10y him as firmly as 5
2 stands by them. q

date Draws the Line at $50, 600.
A press telegram dated Cumberland.
Md. Sept. Z, says:
1T is stated on reliable authority from
Elkins that the campaign contributions
of Henry G. Davis will not he ANYTHING
ike the amount the Democratic manay-
ers had expected. He has fixed the
amount for all purposes at $4,000 and
his brother, Col. Thomas 3. Davis of
keyser, w. Va, gave similar amount.
Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee.
daughters Of Mr.. Davis. are known to
have objected to their father contribut-
ing large sums, and his son, John r.
Davis, is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John T. Davis spent
large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was candidate for Con
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.
Davis being defeated by a large vote.
Since then the Davises have little faith
in politicians judiciously expending
money"
There's some sense in the Davis fam
lily, it appears. The ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on to
his dollars.
How much better it will he to use
some of papa's money to buy pretty bon
nets and gowns with, than to throw them
TO the mocking-birdS Of the Democratic
campaign committee!
And all for nothing, too!

Marshall F. Wilder's most successful
joke of the season has a political tang
to it that is calculated to make even
a Democrat with any sense Of its eternal
aptness laugh. He tells of teacher who
asks a class of boys whether thew wonId
like to be President Of the United
States Observing that amid the gen.
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsOiate, She said:
What's the matter. Wilief Don't
you wish to be President?"
''Nes'm, but can't" replied the boy.
How do you know you can'tY' she
asked.
