President Mckinley leaned heavily upon

Resolution Adopted.

These being the conditions reported at the
New Orleans convention of the American
Federation of Labor in 19G2 a resolution
was adopted: THAT all engineers and
firemen employed in breweries must be
long to their respective international
unions, and that an agreement shall be
drawn up between the brewery workers
engineers and iremen. in effect that when
trade difficulty arises affecting the inter-
ests of either one, all three Organiza lions
must cooperate in adjusting the dispute,
said agreement to be drawn up by two
members from each of the three mentioned
organizations. and two members of the ex-
ecutive council of the American Federatio
of Labor, said committee to meet within
sixty days after the adjournment of this
convention
James O'Conneu and Frank Morrison
were appointed committee to confer with
committees Of the organizations An agree
ment was drawn up and signed by al par
TIES the brewery workers signing subject
to the approval of their convention. That
convention refused TO ratify the agreement
and, as reported by the executive council
Of the federation, "reprisals of one organI-
cation upon the other were INDUCED in TO
the injury of all"
The matter was fully reported to the
Boston convention in 1903, and the follow
ing report of the committee was adopted:
I'VE recommend that the Cincinnati
agreement be affirmed: that all parties con-
cerned be instructed to abide by the terms
thereof. and that failure in this respect

Habit of Caution and Conservatism.


It Is easy to underst and how he has ac-
Quired this habit OF caution and conserv-
atlsm. For the past fifteen years he has
held positions of the most confidential char
acter. He has been intrusted with great
affairs of state and politics; has been
Presidents secretary in time of war and
In a still more momentous period subse
quent to hOstilities when mis- own nation
was undergoing a change He has been
iutrusted with the political secrets of a
great party, and all of his training has
been to receive and hold the affairs of
others
SO. probably. 1t has become second nature
to him to listen intently and to say little;
to be sympathetic but nOn-committal, and
to promise less than he fultils His ex
perience has not served to harden or to
sour his nature He is genial without
being ELUSIVE. cordial without encourage
ment to too hasty intimacy. Long service
as the human buffer between the public
and two Presidents of the United States
has given him an insight into human ma
ture that is one OF his most valuable as
sets a woman could not weep her way
into enlisting his interest although she
might argue II with good logic and q
worthy cause. A man would do well not
to try to obtain a similar end by threat

His Early Career.

George Bruce Cortelyou is a native Of
Hampstead, l.. l., where he was born July
20, 1862 He came of old colonial stock
his ancestors having figured in the history
of New York from early knckerbocker
days. He received the ground work of his
education at the Hampstead Institute and
the State Normal School. graduating from
the latter in 1882. He had intended enter
ing Harvard, but taste for music prompt
ed him TO take course in the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music At the same
time he tutored in literature classes of the
Cambridge high school
He went to New York In 1888 and COM
pleted a course in stenOgraphy in four and
one~half months, becoming teacher in
the school. In 1884 and 1885 he piled the
business of court reporter. For the next
four years he was principal of college pre-
paratory schools in New York becoming
then private secretary TO the post Office IN
spectOr in charge at New York city, and
afterward confidential stenographer to the
surveyor of the port of New York.
1t was in March, 1891, that Mr.. Cortelyou
came to Washington as private secretary
to Estes G.. Rathbone, at that time fourth
assistant postmaster general. This was the
beginning OF his almost meteoric rise IN
the government service to his present re-
sponsible and highly honorable position.
When the administration changed and the
democrats came into power Robert a. Max
well succeeded Mr. Rathbone as fourth as
was prepared TO go out with his former

INVESTIGATING
TOMATO BLIGHT
R. Kent Beattie from Pullman
State College now Looking
into the Question

r. Kent Beattie, acting professor OF
botany and zoology at the Washington
state college of Pullman, arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of commencing the summer
experiments at Charleston on tomato
blight.
The source of this disease, which is
local to the northwest, has not been
discovered and the experiments at
Charleston will be of an extensive char
acter. Tomorrow Mr.. Beattie will be
Joined by n. r. Hunt. one of the stu
dents at the college. and the work
of planting tomatoes of all varieties
and in all different ways will be start
ed. In all Professor. Beattie has so
varieties and out of these he hopes
to find a variety that will Withstand
the blight. and If it is not a good toma-
to to breed it up to a good standard.
Mr.. Hunt will remain at Charleston all
looks of the different kinds of plants
and will record the yield from each
plant. The effects of light and shade on
the plants will also be tried. The blight
has proved to be a disastrous disease
for the tomato growers of Charleston
and if Professor Beattie finds a rem
edy he will put thousands of dollars
in the pockets of the farmers.
In addition to his experiments on the
tomato blight Professor Beattie is also
taking up with the high schools the
athletic meet which is to be held at
Pullman May IL and 13 and which will
be participated in by the high schools
of all eastern Washington and by the
Lewiston High school. He will speak
this morning to the students Of the
Lewiston High school and this after
noon to the students Of the Charleston
high school.
TOO many boys are leaving school
because they see way to earn $780,"
said Mr.. Beattie. I'VE want to provide
something Of interest to them that
| will keep them in school and I be-
lieve this will be great drawing card.
The defamation contest will also be
feature of the meet. which Is to be
the biggest ever held in the north-
west"

An All-Around President.

them how to bring up children show
ing them how to shoot wolves. taking

coming are hunting their holes. And

young Oklahoma ar object lesson In
how 1t is possible for a president to be
cowboy. the reverse OF which OF
course Is how a cowboy. sometimes, IL
he has the brain and the sand and
the assurance and the perseverance
and the luck may become president.
And more than one Texan boy will
study harder next term at school and
be more careful OF department because
Of that object lesson. And the older
Texans will more thoroughly compre-
bend than ever before that all the diff
ference between the mortimer and
the sonthmen Is the difference in their
prejudices and that the man who does
not include all his country in his
thoughts Is. after ALL only half an

back In time to speak at few college

graves on memorial day and then be
ready for any emergency that may re-
auire soft talk and big stick.
