CHARITY.

The Portland papers are criticising
charities, claiming that they have a
misconception Of the term, and are ig-
norant of its true meaning. II is evil
by this board it is on the principle
by this board IL is on the principle
that charity begins AT home. If after
paying the fat salaries of the grafters,
their is anything left. it is distributed
to the poor. but there is never anything
left. 1t takes all the donations and be-
quests of the charitably inclined of
of being named board of charities" it
ought to pay teh salaries Instead OF
ought to be called the "amalgamated
board of grafters." All of their meet
ings are held with closed doors, a sort
of star chamber gathering of incur
ables. They receive money and dona-
tons to distribute among the poor; al
leviate suffering and care for the des-
titute. Up to date all the poor, all the
suffering, all the destitute. are confined
to the members of the Portland board
of charities, Of which Thos. " Strong
the great reformer, is the grand chief
mogul.
During its earthly existence, it has
never made a report of the disposition
Of the funds, except the statement,
that the funds are insufficient to pay
the salaries of the officers and there
is nothing to distribute TO the poor
In all civilized communities, the good
people engaged in the work of charity
contribute their services free. Moth
ing is free in Portland. Even the hotel
rates have advanced 500 per cent. THE
Portland Telegram discussing the ques-
ton says:
Criticism of the methods of the city
board of charities, which has a record
Of having spent So on itself for every
dollar devoted to actual charity. has
eliminated in a number of outspoken
statements of dlsapproval, brought
about by refusal of the board at its
meeting yesterday afternoon to per-
NIT other than members to be present.
Star chamber methods in the handling
of public charities are being roundly
condemned today.
At the regular monthly meeting Of
the board yesterday afternoon 1t was
stated that the meeting would be pri-
vate, that they had always been pri-
vate, and if the public wished to know
what was transacted application might
be made for information after the meet |
ing. 1t is the opinion Of leading citi-
zens that as the board must exist from
funds obtained from the public by soli- !

was intended when contributed. and
that therefore all action Of the board

Australia came to the support of Eng
land, when she had trouble with the
Beers. For every nation Of Europe
seems to exist in constant fear Of at
tack FROM some nqighhor ot@paliy
seeking to grasp power and territory,
No need exists of proof that more
than one European nation would glad
ly seize any country OF America, Is
only Il dared do SO. There Is more than
a suspicion that one has designs on
Argentina and ON Brazil. and would
quickly control there. We're not the
create republic in the way, Many times
has the United States been compelled
actually to drive a nation Of Europe
from lands OF the south, ON which that
nation had laid hand, She has long
held an actual, II not formal protect
crate over her sister republics,
Much has been given to us, and
much will be rightfully expected from
us. We have duties to others and
duties to ourselves; and We can shirk
neither" said President Roosevelt
when ne was taking the oath of his
high office.
That was solemn pledge OF the Am
erican republics: but It may we'll be
taken as promise to Europe also,
that If the United States does safe
guard the integrity Of territory of those
republics, she win see to 1t that they
regard properly their own financial In
tegrity, and pay their just debts.
NO weak nation that acts rightly
and justly should ever have cause to
fear us; and no strong power should
ever be able TO single us out as sub
ject for insolent aggression" said the
president.
THAT viii be taken as a clear an'
nouncement of determination to re-
sent and resist such aggression. and
as frankly tellig this nation that It
should maintain its power instantly to
punish any attempt at aggression,
whether it be against this republic or
against any Of its wards.
Justice and generosity in nation
as in an individual count most when
shrown, not by the weak. but by the
strong"
\ plea for justice appears in the
most serious utterauces Of President
Roosevelt: and none knows better than
he knows that he voices the sentiment
that gave TO him the most overwhelm-
ing majority any man ever had in an
eleetion-the most glorious tribute to
his honestly and righteousness of pur-
pose. The history OF his political life
warrants the belief that he is sincere
in these utterances. and determined 10
do all in his power TO secure a fair
deal to evry man. He stands commit
ted before the whole world TO do every
thing in his power-all that may be II,
the power of the millions who put him
at the head Of this nation, to compel
this government to do justice to all. at
home or abroad.
There is no reason TO fear that he
will fail through lack OF determination
or OF desire to deal fairly. He knows
that he will be supported by the peo'
pie. even though he should go farther
than strict reading of the law pro.
vides. So long as he strives to do the
greatest good to the greatest number. |
And in this all the smaller nations may |
find safe promise and a measure Of
comfort.

Cody Drops Divorce Suit.

Omaha, July lin a cablegram to
his foster brother and business man
ager, DIR. d. Frank Powell white
here yesterday, Col. w. f. Cody (Buf-
falo BID requests that steps be taken
Immediately TO dismiss the appe al in
his suit for divorce.
Colonel Cody dismisses the appeal"
said DIR. Powell, "at the earnest request
of his only living child, the wife of
Lieut.. Clarence Armstrong Stott of
Fort Thomas, Georgia. He does it to
please her, and to please her only"
1t is well known to their friends that
no reconciliation bas been effected be
tween the colonel and Mrs. Cody and
that they will not live together again as
husband and wife. The dismissal of the
appeal in the divorce suit is not the
result of any change in their relations.
but is the result of the efforts Mrs.
Stott has made to bring her parents
together. Before Colonel Cody's eldest
daughter, Arta, died last year she
pleaded with him not to begin divorce
proceedings, and after the petition
had been filed she begged him to dis
miss the suit. Colonel Cody was deeply
moved his friends say. by the appeal
of his facorte child, but he was deter
mined to get divorce if possible and
prosecute the suit. 1t is said that since
then he often has alluded to his daugh-
ters dying request with much feeling
and they suspect that he has more
than once regretted on her account
that he filed the divorce suit.

DROWNED OR SHOT.
Murderous Negro Loses His Life While
Evadinq Officers.

Denver, July ia Republican spe-
cial from Florence last night says: Ed
ward Nichols, colored laborer at the
BroOkside coal mine, met a tragic
death while attempting TO swim the Ar
kansas river to elude capture by deputy
sherffs for an all but fatal assault on
the master mechanic of the mine. AS
the officers fired upon the fugitive, he
sank from sight in the water and the
body has not been recovered.
Sunday evening Nichols assaulted
and attempted to kill James McPher-
son, master mechanic at the Brookside
coal mine, by beating him over the
head with heavy club. After doing
this and being frightened away by wit
nesses, Nichols left the country and
was not seen again until last evening,
although diligent search was kept
up by the officers.
Yesterday Sheriff Esser detailed
Deputy Sheriffs John Jones and Payton
Allen to search for the fugitive. Soon
after the officers left the train, which
had carried them to Portland in the
hunt, they caught sight of Nichols hid
ing in the tall weeds near the Arkan-
sas river bridge. When they advanced
toward him, Nichols started to make
for the nearby hills. The officers called
several times on the man to halt, but
he refused to do SO. The officers
opened fire, but if a bullet struck him
it had no effect, as he continued to
run at almost the speed of a horse.
Nichols headed for the Rio Grande
tracks with the evident intention of
catching freight train and leaving the
country. Allen also ran down the track
and succeeded in heading off the man.
At this juncture Nichols saw that his
capture was only a matter of moments
If he did not pursue another course, so
he made to the river and jumped in.
He nearly succeeded in swimming
across to the opposite bank when Al
len began firing upon him. Whether
the shots were effective is not known,
but Nichols, after making a few des-
perate struggles, sank to the bottom.
No effort has SO far been made to re-
cover the body.
Mcpherson, the injured man, is in a
serious condition. Nichols struck him
over the head with a big club and
might have succeeded in killing him
had not the club broken.
Mcpherson is the father Of Mrs. AL.
len, whose husband did the shooting.
There seems to be some question in
the minds of the officers whether Mich
oils was killed by the bullets.

Denver, July 12.-Governor McDon-
aid yesterday issued a proclamation,

lamation is as follows:
'State of Colorado, Executive Cham
Der, Denver.
ITO the people of Colorado: The

full advancement made in the progress

Everything possible has been done

British Army Poorly Trained.

London, July 11.-Field Marshal
Lord Roberts created sensation in
the House of Lords yesterday when in
lengthy and well-considered speech
he deliberately expressed his opinion
as practical soldier that the military
force of Great Britain was inadequate.
imperfectly trained and totally unfit
to uphold Great Britain as a first-class
power. Lord Roberts did not blame the
government, which, he said. was actu-
ated by national feeling, but ho
scathingly attacked the people of Eng
land, who. he said, showed no national
feeling toward the military until dan-
ger arose

Japanese in Sakhalin.

Toxic, July 1.-THE announcement
of the landing of a Japanese force at
Sakhalin island and the occupation OF
Karsakovsk, followed by the northern
flight of the garrison, has been re
ceived with great satisfaction by the
Japanese. The landing of the army at
Sakhalin marks the first entry of the
Japanese upon Russian territory
proper.
The Japanese have expressed them
selves pleased to be again in posses
sion of the island, declaring that they
have long felt that the bargain under
which they relinquished the place
forty years ago was unsatisfactory.
The Japanese express the belief that
they will speedily control the entire
island, as they regard the garrison
there as being incapable OF serious re
sistance and are confident that it will
certainly be captured.

CANAL WILL Be BUILT
so SAYS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Bearers of Diseourasing Reports Lik-
ened to skuikers Fleeing From
Battle Field.

Oyster Bay, July 13.-President
Roosevelt delivered notable address
yesterday before the Associated Physi.
clans of Long Island.
He discussed in the course of his
speech the relations physicians sus-
tain with the people of the commune
ties in which they reside and the work
to be done by the medical experts in
connection with the construction of the
Panama canal, declaring that, despite
all difficulties on the isthmus and here
in the nited States, the canal would
be a success.
He referred to the achievements of
the sanitary engineers who cleaned the
cities Of Cuba for the first time in 400
years, and closed by paying tribute
to the services of Gen. Leonard Wood,
whose career as military officer, he
said, was tiouted by some critics be-
cause he once had been a doctor.
In his address the President said:
Just couple of weeks ago there
seemed to be a succession of people
coming up from Panama, each one of
whom had some tale or other to tell
You Will always find in any battle,
even II 1t is a victorious battle, that in
the rear you meet n number of gentle
men that are glad that they are not, at
! the front, VINO, if they have unfor-
tunately gotten at the front have come
away and who justify their absence
from the front by telling tales of how
everything had gone wrong there.
Nov the people who fee from Pan
anna will carry up here just such stor-
les as the people who fee from the
| forefront of a battle carry to the rear
with them. The people to whom this
country owes and will owe so much are
those who stay down there and do not
talk, but do their work, and do it well.
"Of course, in doing a great work
| like that in the tropics, in region
which, until this government took hold
of it, was accounted to be region ex-
ceptionally unhealthy, we are going
to have trouble, have some yellow
| fever, have a good deal of malarial
fever, and suffer more from the latter
than from the yellow fever, although
we will hear nothing like the talk
about it. We will have every now and
then troubles as regards hygiene, just
as we will have trouble in the engi-
neering problems. Just as occasionally
we will have trouble in the administers
tive work.
| Whenever one of these troubles
comes there will be Large number of
excellent but timid men who will at
once say what an awful calamity it is,
and express the deepest sorrow and
concern, and be rather inclined to the
belief that the whole thing is a failure.
ut will not be failure. 1t will be a
success, and it will be a success be-
cause we shall treat every little check
not as a reason for abandoning the
work, but as a reason for altering and
| bettering our plans, so as to make ii
| impossible that that particular check
| shall happen again"
