 Against King GdmbrinuS
 Ills TALK 10 MINERS
The Principal and a Strong Speaker at a Convention Of the Catholic Abstinence Union and Anthra cite Miners at WiIkesbarre.

WllkeSDarre, Pa, Aug. 10.-The president of the United States who came here today and made an address to the delegates attending the annual con vention of the Catholic Abstinence Un- ion of America and the members of the United Mine Workers of America, was given a most enthusiastic reception.
 In fact the entire trip through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to this city
 was a series of ovations. Every sta ton along the line of the Lehigh Val l ley road from Jersey City was deco rated with flags and bunting and the crowds at the stations cheered the president heartily But his greatest ovation was in the Wyoming valley where he spent four very busy hours ! The entire valley from Shichshinny to PittstOn took a holiday to do honor to i the president MT. Roosevelt was in
 great humor and enjoyed the day as
 much as the most enthusiastic total | abstainer or mine worker.
 Wilkesbarre was dressed for the Oc-
 casion. There was scarcely a building
 in the business portion of the city or a | house along the route over which the i president drove that did not display ] the national colors. The greatest kcrowd that the municipality ever had
 within its confines was in the city and | it is estimated the visitors numbered | upwards of 100000.
 The president arrived at o'clock and was driven directly to the speak | CTS stand. The president was wildly 1 cheered on his appearance and when the tumult subsided he said;
 I am particularly glad to speak to | this audience of miners and their wives and children, and especially to speak ! ,.Nr ,e | perance society. In our country the i happiness of all the rest of our people
 depends most of all upon the welfare ! of the wage-wOrker and the welfare | of the farmer If we can secure the l welfare of these two classes we can be ! reasonably certain that the commun- ] ity as a whole will prosper. And we must never forget that the chief factor | in securing the welfare alike of wage
 worker and of farmer, as of everybody l else, must be the man himself
 NEED OF SELF HELP. The only effective way to help any body is to help him help himself. There
 are exceptional times when any one of us needs outside help, and then it
 should be given freely; but normally | each one of us must depend upon his : own eGertions for his own success. | Something can be done by wise Iegis- ! lation and by wise and honest admin | ist-ation of the laws; that is, some 1 thing can be done by our action taken
 in our collective capacity through the | state and the nation.
 | Something more can be done by com | bination and organization among our | selves in our private capacities as clti- zens, so long as this combination or
 organization is managed with wisdom and integrity. with insistence upon the rights of those benefited and yet with i just regard for the rights of others.
 AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR. But in the last analysis the factor most influential in determining any mans success must ever be the sum of l that mans own qualities, of his know | ledge. foresight. thrift and courage. 1 Whatever tends to increase his self-re- spect, whatever tends to help him over come temptations with which all of
 us are surrounded. is of benefit not only to him but to the whole .coTmun- ity
 No one society can do more to help the wage worker than such a temper ance society as that which I am now addressing. It is of incalcUable con- sequence to the man himself that he should be sober and temperate, and it is of even more consequence to his wife and his children; for it is a hard and cruel fact that in this life of ours the sins of the man are cften visited most heavily upon those whose welfare should be his one special care.
 For the drunkard, for the man who loses his job because he can not con- trol or will not control his desire for liquor and for vicious pleasure, we have a feeling of anger and contempt mixed with our pity; but for his unfortunate wife and little ones we feel only pity, and that of the deepest and tenderest kind.
 BUILDING WITHIN.
 Everything possible should be done to encourage the growth of that spirit of elf-respect. self-restraint, self-re- liance which if it only grows enough is certain to make all those In whom it shows itself move steadily upward to- ward the highest standard of American citizenship. It is a proud and respon- sibIe privilege to be citizens of this great self governing nation; and each of us needs to keep steadily before his eyes the fact that he Is wholly unfit to take part in the work of governing others unless. he can first govern him self He must stand up manfully for his own rights: he must respect the rights of others; he must obey the law and must try to live up to those rules of righteousness which are above and behind all laws.
 This applies just as much to the man of great wealth as to the man of small means: to the capitalist as to the wageworker. And as one practical any difficulty, especially if it is what is any difficulty. especial if it is what is known as a labor trouble. both sides show themselves willing to meet, will ing to consult and anxious each to treat the other reasonably and fairly, each to look at the others side of the case and to do the other justice. If only this course could be generally followed, the
