SOCIALISM DISCUSSED
BY BISHOP GAIL0R.
Elaborate banquet Commentaries
the Signing OF the jay Trenty.

Elaborate banquet Commentaries
the signing of the JAY Treaty.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-An elab-
crate banquet in commemoration of
the signing Of the John Jay CONNER
cial treaty was given tonight at the
Midland Hotel in this city by the
Commercial Club of Kansas City.
Addresses were made by Bishop
Thomas f. Gailor of Tennessee, J..
Adam Bede, Charles Francis Adams
and others.
Bishop Gailor, responding to the
toast, Larger Citizenship" said In
part:
Socialism is in the air. Primarily 1t
means organization, the combined ef-
forts of the many for the good of all.
THE American trade union and the
American trade trust are each In it's
way expression of the Socialistic spir-
II, and doubtless have their use and
place in the progress of the world.
But when they forget their limita-
tions; when they aspire to become en-
throned olgarchies and 10 dictate abb
solutely the industrial conditions to
SO.000,000 OF free people, they are In
viting ruin; they are sowing the wind
to reap the whirlwind.
so there is a true Socialism, as
there Is a false Socialism. There is a
true Socialism, which operates for the
repair and prevention OF waste, for
the cure OF extravagant expenditures
of mind and material: which means
also respect for manhood and woman
hood under all conditions and demands
that the selfish cruelties and barbar-
Gus expressions that stihe the aspira-
tions and the lives OF thousands in
our land. shall be obliterated from
our social system. And then there is
a false Socialism, which seems to for
get that there Is one thing quite as
important as the distribution OF wealth,
and that Is the production Of wealth.
Schemes 10 remedy the Inequalities In
the distribution OF wealth are worth
less II they leave no wealth to dis
tribute.
Il believe that American patriotism
means the effort In every honorable
way to create on sea and land and
under every sky a respect for the pow
er and virtue as we'll as for the COM
mercial prosperity OF the American
name. II means ultimately such a reg
ulation of the right OF suffrage as shall
impress upon all the people the fact
that American citizenship Is too high
n privilege. too lofty a trust and too
sacred TO be committed carelessly into
the keeping OF illiteracy and incom-
potency and lmprobity. II means, An
ally. the elevation Of the Intellectual
and moral ideal Of the individual
through a system OF education which
is not only universal. but up 10 a cer-
tain point, compulsory. broad enough
and brave enough 10 make moral prin-
ciples, as well as special learning, part
Of curriculum Of a public school,"

STEAMER MOHAWK
BURNED ON, SOUND
ALL But ONE ABOARD SAVED.
ANOTHER STEAMSHIP WAS FORTU-
NATELY NEAR BY.

Steamer Belonged to the Central

the Mohawk.
New York. Nov. 1S.-While bound
down Long Island sound on one of
her regular passages between this city
and New London, Conn.,, the freight
steamer Mohawk of the Central Ver-
mont Railroad took fire off Horizons
Point, R. l.. and was burned to the
waters edge early to-day. Her crew,
except the watchman, was rescued by
a passing steamship and taken to Fall
River, Mass. 1t is believed the Mo-
hawk will be total loss and that
little, if any, of her cargo will be
saved.
The Mohawk left New York last ev-
ening with a full cargo of general
merchandise. She had twenty-five
persons on board, including two
women.
AS the steamer passed Horizons
Point the lighthouse keeper saw
flames breaking from the boat, and a
few minutes later she was wrapped in
flames.
Assistance was near at hand in the
form of the Fall River Line steamer
Boston, which had closely followed the
Mohawk down the sound, and those on
board the burning steamer, with the
one exception noted. were soon taken
off. The flames had passed beyond all
control, however, and she was aban-
doned to her fate.
A few minutes after the Boston had
resumed her Interrupted voyage there
came the sound of a heavy explosion,
and mass of blazing debris, accom-
panied by a burst of flames, shot up
from the. center of the abandoned
freighter.
When dawn came the steamer was
lying fast on the bar off Horizons
Point and only a portion of her up
per works showed above the surface.
This gradually disappeared as the fire
ate its way into the hull of the boat.
A watchman, who was on duty when
the flames were discovered, failed tc

The resolutions adopted declare that

so-called Hepburn Dolliver bill. "in
such form as shall effectively secure

daries from without. under the guise
Of interstate commerce."
With reference to the army canteen
the resolutions say that the presence
of saloons and dives In the neighbor-
hood of army posts Is not due to the
abolition Of beer and other intoxicants
from the canteen: deplore the lack OF
cooperation OF army officers in the
establishment of post canteens free
from tho influence Of drink. and de-
clare that until exchanges without
Intoxicating liquors have had a full
and fair trial IN spirit and effort dur
ing the existence of conditions essen

liquor interests and their friends to
have the law prohibiting the sale OF
intoxicating liquors on military res
