THE PRESIDENT.

President Roosevelt arrived in Chicago
from the West yesterday, took lunch
con with the Merchants Club, attended
receptions by the Hamilton and Howard
Clubs and at night was heguest of honor
of the lroquois Club, ChicagO's big
democratic club.
At the luncheon at the Merchants
Club Mr.. Roosevelt made an address in
which he uttered only a few words which
could be construed as referring 10 the
transfers strike. The upbuildiDg of a
great navy was his main subject, saying,
1--WE cannot abandon our position on the
Monroe doctrine"
At a brilliant banquet by the Iroquois
Club, the leading democratic Organiza-
ton in Chicago, Mr.. Roosevelt was
the central figure. He was deeply
touched by the many kindly references
to himself. Political differences, he
said, are not personal issues. Speeches
were made by Mayor Dunno, James
Hamilton Lewis and President Gunther.
Surrounded by men who have fought
against him in two national political
campaigns, who deprecate many of his
avowed policies, and who have frowned
on some of his political actions, the
President was cheered to the echo as he
entered and left the banquet hall, was
applaudod with enthusiasm throughout
his address, and at its close he was
given to undei stand that in his case po-
litical differences were not personal

Toxic, May 1.-THE press is still
bitter on the subject of the violation OF
neutrality in ndo-China. In discussing
the matter the Jill says: Patience has
reached the breaking point. Should
France hesitate to act promptly, thereby
afording the Russians further facilities
for menacing our safety, we will have no
choice left but to ask our alley (Great

AGAINST MOB LAW.

A committee representing the labor
unions of Chicago called upon President
Roosevelt and protested against the prop
osition to send federal troops to that city.
In reply the President in part said
81 have read the petition you have
presented to me, the conclusion OF which
is request for hearing before any ac-
ton be taken by the President relating
to the Chicago strike situation. As yet
no suggestion OF any kind has come to
me from any source that | should take
any action. OF the merits of the case l
am wholly ignorant. | have no knowl-
edge of what the situation IS or OF what
steps should properly be taken to end 1t.
| feel, however, that in view of one state
ment or series of statements, in your let
ter ought to say this:
81 regret that you should in the letter
have spoken at all of the use of federal
army as you have there spoken. No request
has been made to me for action by the fed
eral government, but at the same time Mr..
Shea, as you have in this communication
to me brought up that fact want to say one
thing with all the emphasis in my power
In upholding law and order, iii doing
what he is able to do to suppress mob
violence in any shape or way, the Mayor
of Chicago, Mayor Dunno, has my
hearty support. am glad TO be able
to say this to you, gentlemen, before |
say it to any other body. Now let me
repeat that know nothing of the facts
of the situation, | know nothing of the
rights or wrongs Of the points at issue.
What / have TO say is based purely
upon what regard as the unfortunate
phrasing Of a letter presented to the
President of the United States. | have
not been called upon tOinteriere in any
way, but you must not misundersta nd
my attitude. In every effort of Mayor
Dunno to prevent violence by mobs or
individuals, to see that the laws are
obeyed and that order is preserved, he
has the hearty support Of the President
Of the United States, and, in my judg-
ment, he should have that OF every good
citizen of the United States. Now,
gentlemen, it has been great pleasure
to see you, and am glad to have had
the chance to say this to you. n 4 4 |
am believer in unions. am an hon
orary member of one union. But the
union must obey the law just as the cor
poration must obey the law, just as
every man, rich or poor, must obey the
law. As yet no action has been called
for by me, and most certainly if action
is called for by me shall try to do ex-
act justice under the law to every man,
so far as have power. But the first es-
sential is the preservation of law and or
der, the suppression of violence by mobs
or individuals"

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY II, 1905

FOLLOWING so close upon the fresl-
dents sneech at Denver, declaring that
there must be legislation authorizing
The Interstate Commerce Commission to
determine freight rates, Secretary TAFT S
speech in Washington Tuesday night
at the International Railroad Congress
banquet has been accepted as indicating
the fixed determination OF the admins
tration to press for rate legislation, re-
CARELESS of railroad protests. The ut
terances of the Secretary of War have
been the absorbing subject of discussion
among railroad men now in Washing
ton since he made his speech, and what
is spoken Of as fight to the finish be-
tween the railroads and the admlnlstra-
ton is now predicted. When the rail-
road congress began lis sessions Secre-
tarv Morton. whose sympathles appear
10 be all with the railroads, made an adj
dress calculated to relieve the assembled
railroad officers of any alarm they might
feel with regard to the Presidents rail-
road policy. Among the railroad men 1t
was at once agreed that the Presidents
convictions probably accorded with those
of his Secretary of.;he Navy, and there
was much rejoicing in consequence.
President Roosevelts speech at Denver,
which was not at all like Mr.. Morton
speech at the opening OF the congress,
renewed the feeling of doubt and alarm
among the railroad magnates. Secretary
Taft's speech Tuesday night was driven
directly into the ears Of the men who are
most determined that there shall be no
railroad legislation by the coming Con-
gress. The speech, it was evident to all,
had been carefully prepared, and pre-
pared with the intention of causing ex-
actly the impression that was caused.

COUNT CASsINI, Ambassador of the
Gar and dean OF the diplomatic corps in

relatively unimportant post of Russian
Ambassador to Madrid, it is believed, as
a mark of his nations displeasure at his
failure to perform the impossible
task Of keeping American sympathy
with Russia instead of allowing it
to swing to Japan in the present war in
the East. Empires, as well as republics,

Best Cough Medicine for Children

be5t COukh Wcu'Shic hoi
When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but cures.
You want one that is unquestionably
harmless. You want one that is pleas

The Kaiser and The Yellow Peril,

Berlin, May 1l.-Ksiser William
today, in the course of speech delivered
to the troops, following review at
Strasburg, referred to The war 10 the far
East and declared that as Russia had
proved incapable of averting the "yeI-
low peril" Germany might find it nee
cessary to undertake the task. He al
tributed Russia's failure to defeat the
japanese to the fact that her army had
been demoralized by vice and drunken
ness. The emperors words on this sub
iect were. "The Russian army has
been defeated in Manchuria, because il
was demoralized by vice and drunken
ness. This is the only possible expla-
nation of the Russian collapse. Russia

DEXTER BOARD OF TRADE
Organized With Large Membership

Dexter, Me-, Dec. 2S.-(SpeciaD. AT a
mass meeting of the citizens of Dexter
held in the office of F. J. Gerry last
evening a board of trade was formed
and the following officers elected: W.

committee on membership, Luman c..
Shepherd, Atwood j. Cobb and L. w.

The meeting and consequent organi-
cation Of this board was the outcome
of the recent agitation in regard to the
electric light situation. The sentiment
Of the meeting as expressed was that
the electric light company is in the field
for money only and it was earnestly
advocated that the town own it's own
plant. A committee was appointed to
investigate the situation more closely
and report at meeting to be held at s
O'Clock Wednesday evening"
The deeds were drawn up and passed
this afternoon which make the Water
vile Trust Co. the owners of the Dey-
ter House block, so-calIed. on Main
street. which the Trust Co. purchased
of f. III. Hayes, the well-known can
ming factory man, who several weeks
ago purchased this block and the LOT
upon which it sits from the Dexter Saw
ings Bank. 1t is the purpose of the
Trust Co. to build a $4,000 brick block
on the site. commencing building opera
t1ons as soon as the Snow goes off in
the spring. A part of this proposed
structure will be used for banking
quarters for the Trust Co. while the
remainder will be rented for offices,
etc.
The Watervlle Trust Co. since estab-
fishing branch in this town several
years ago has fiourished and the busi-
ness is now growing fast. 1t has long
been in need of more spacious quarters
than those in the Ireland building on
Grove street, where the banking rooms
are now located. 1t is expected that
the new quarters will be the most elab-
crate Of any of the local banking
rooms.
