PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
ABSTINENCE UNION AND MINERS
Two Hundred Thousand People Gath
cred at Temperance and Labor
Day Celebration.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
President of the United States. who
came here yesterday and made an ad
dress to the delegates attending the
annual convention of the Catholic
Abstinence Union OF America and the
members OF the United Mine Workers
of America. was given most enthusi-
astIc reception. The greatest crowd
that the city ever had within its CON
fines was in the city and it is esti-
mated the visitors numbered upward
of 100000.
Besides the President those who
spoke were Cardinal Gibbons. Mayor
Kirkendale of this city. John Mitchell,
president of the miners union. and
Rev. ]. ]. Curran of this city, dis
trict president of the Catholic Absti-
nence union.
The President said:
Il am particularly glad to speak to
this audience of miners and their
wives and children. and especially to
speak under the auspices of this great
temperance society. In our country
the 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. II we can Sc
cure the welfare of these two classes
we can be reasonably certain that
tie community as whole Will pros
per. And we must never forget that
the chief factor in securing the well
fare alike of the wage worker and OF
the farmer, as of everybody else. must
be ,..e man himself.
THE only effective way to help any
body il 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 exertions for his own success.
Something can be done by wise legis-
lation and by wise and honest admin
is ration of the laws; that is. some
thing can be done by our action taken
in our collective capacity through the
state and the nation.
Something more can be done by
combination and organization among
ourselves in our private capacities as
citizens. so long as this combination
or organization Is managed with wis
dom and integrity. with insistence
upon the rights of those benefited and
yet with Just regard for the rights OF
others.
But in the last analysis the factor
most influential in determining any
mans success must ever be the sum
of that mans own qualities, of his
knowledge. foresight, thrift and cour
age. Whatever tends to increase his
self-respect whatever tends to help
him overcome the temptations with
which all of us are surrounded. is of
benefit not only to him but to the
whole community.
mo one society can do more to help
the wage worker than such temper
ance society as that which / am now
addressing. 1t is of incalculable con
sequence TO the man himself that he
should be sober and temperate, and 1t
is of even more consequence to his
wife and Lis children; for 1t is a hard
and cruel fact that in this life of ours
the sins of the man are often visited
most heavily upon those whose vel
fare should be his one special care.

THE FARM AND RANGE
inosu!a::ng the Soil.

The Philadelphia Press publishes an
Interesting interview with Hon. James
Wilson. secretary OF agriculture.
What do you consider the most i'm
portant work, or the greatest discov-
cry that has been made In the de-
partment during your administration"
he was asked.
Il have never considered that ques-
ton, because | have never instituted
comparisons in the work OF our Vari-
ous bureaus" he replied.
The secretary relapsed into medi-
tative mood for a moment and con-
tinued:
Il think the work tnat has been OF
the greatest moment and will prove OF
the most lasting benefit to the great
est number of men Is the discovery
of a means to promote the introduction
OF benign bacteria into the soil. In
other words, the so-called inoculatipn
OF the soil.
Il don't claim 1t as a discovery, but
this departments methods of making
practical the discovery is. | think, on
a par with the discovery itself. A
number of years ago the TACT that soil
could be enriched and rendered pro-
uucuVe TO mucn nlPner degree tHau
was possible to any known methods or
fertilization through the multiplication
Of heterogeneous bacteri was discovered
by German professor. He associated
several persons with him and endeav-
ored to make a commercial commodity
of 1t. Repeated attempts ended in fall
ure, and ultimately the effort was
abandoned. because without the power
to make his discovery of universal
value the whole thing was worthless
from the agricultural or commercial
standpoint.
Our bureau of plant industry under
took the solution of the problem. We
first produced the bacteria BY cultiva-
ton. They are associated with legu-
minous plants. which draw their nitro
gen from the limitlcss supplies of the
atmosphere. Nitrogen is the indis-
pensable food of vegetable life. Re
peated experiments demonstrated that
this bacteria could be distributed
through the mails on piece of cotton
in an envelope. That Is what we are
loing to-day. and the wonderful results
accomplished in the increase of crops
tcstifies to the value Of our research" !"

The college, under the direction of

of many of the principal varieties of
the cacti found in the territory to de-
termine the amount and character of
the nutriment contained. The prac-

winter under Professor j. J. Vernon, in
cooperation with the government, will
be the final proof as to the value of the
