Chicago, May 11.-President Roose-
welt last night, near the close of a
strenuous twelve hour visit to Chicago
spoke word for law and order. He
was chief guest at a banquet given by
the Iroquois club, representative demo
cratic organization of the middle west,
and what he said in light or serious
vein was cheered to the echo by COS
hosts, most Of them democrats.
The situation was unique. being
likened in it's political aspect by Toast
master J. Hamilton Lewis to the era
OF good feeling Of the days Of Monroe
and John Quincy Adams. Then the
strike crisis in Chicago, lowering over
the great banquet like a shadow,
turned the minds Of the President and
hosts to graver issues and the chief ex-
ecutive of the country declared him
self.

should the situation get beyond their
control the guests sprang to their feet
once more, mounted chairs, and
shouted themselves hoarse.

Dinner Ends Strenuous Program.
The dinner was given in the Auditor

of entertainments which had kept the
President ION the go" from noontime
when he arrived from the far west.

Roosevelt started eastward to the cap.
ital.
The Iroqouis dinner afforded evi.
dent enjoyment to the President. He
smiled at the universally expressed
lament that he could not see his way
clear to becoming democrat; he
chuckled when he was presented with
the club badge and challenged to wear
1t; and he grinned the famous Roose-
veltian grin hundred times during
the four hours of the celebration over
references to bears and babies and the
strenuous life.
Speaks His Mind.
And when it came to serious matters
the President did not hesitate to speak
out in meeting. The strike was on the
minds Of most of the men present and
1t was found that among other things
the strike was also on the Presidents
mind.
He declared that he believed in the
organization of labor and of capitol
too, but that there were grave dangers
In the misuse of the power which such
organization brings to each Employ
ers' organizations might be unjust
and labor organizations might use
wrongful means to further their ends.
The President wanted it distinctly

one side nor the other, but would read
lesson to each on the virtue of right
conduct.
His first word on the subject upper

cheers and with napkins waving 1t
was a tacit recognition of the unflinch-
ing Roosevelt way of tackling a posi-
bly, delicate subject, and tackling it
hard Similar demonstrations punctu-
ated his references to the subject of
mob violence in connection with the
strike.
Compliments Mayor Dunno.
The President declared that the
time will never come when this coun-
try will be governed by mob violence,
and he complimented Mayor Dunno
upon his success in depressing it thus
far in the Chicago situation. Then,
with growing sternness of manner, he
reminded he state and city officials
around him that if the menace of the
mob should become more alarming
there is the resource of state authori-
ty which lies behind the city, and f.
nally the authority of the nation be-
hind the state.

KATY DEPOT
ALREADY HERE
WOrkmen and Material for the
New Structure Has Arrived.

Work has commenced on the new
Katy depot. Seven car loads OF mate
rial are on the sIdefrsck and three
cars OF workmen arrived last night.
To a great many. no doubt, the
above statement will come as no great
surprise. Others will grow hysterical
over it, while still others will brand it
as a newspaper lie"
But, nevertheless, it is true. The
Katy has joined the procession at last
and is going to help toward "Greater
vinita." Just what kind Of build
ing the company will erect IS not
known, but it will be large enough to
accommodate their business at this
place. and of a modern design.
It is useless to elaborate on this sub
ject. or to express the pleasantsurprise
that il has caused. Columns and
columns have been written and printed
on this subject heretofore, and the
commercial club has talkedit for years
and years.
Now that it seems to be a certainty
that the old depot is to be taken away
at last and new one built the fact
can hardly be recognized, and 10 now
attempt to give vent to the apprecia-
tion and happiness felt causes the
heart to fiutter like the fiickering of a
moving picture machine, until our
left suspender buckle melts and runs
down our anatomy.
1t is hard to part with the old-mark.
Time was when the old depot was
considered great building when our
fathers played underneath the
platform, which then was several feet
above their heads, and thus do we pic
ture it with scenes Of long ago. The
man who first purchased ticket there
has long since passed over the divide,
and the hand of time has long since
botted out his remembrance, therefore
the writer cannot give its age or his
tory. But If youare a loverof romance
it will interest yon to visit this old
depot and hear the mournful sounds
that proceed from it in the still hours
OF the morning. 1t is said that many
a man has lived there, loved there and
died there.
The tears which have been shed on
the platform at the parting Of friends,
If gathered into one body Of water
would be sufficient TO float the old
building sway. The rice that has been
showered upon departing brides and
yrooms would be sufficient to feed |
the Japanese army during the entire
war. But enough of this. The build
Ing is now tottering tostiecay and sew
sral stories have sunken into the
ground, and its designer and builders
are now where no corroding hand can
touch them. They dwell forever in
Ihe heavens.
