Democrats Elect Him and
Discuss Party Policies.
ARE FOR RATE LEGISLATION
Democrats Who Vote For
1t Will Be lndorsing
The Party Platform

Washington, D. C.-For two
hours Saturday the Democratic
members of the House of Rep
resentatives discussed party poll
cies and procedure, with a view
to solidifying the minority and
acting harmoniously on all mat
ter3 Of a partisan character that
may come before the house. This
discussion followed the nomi-
nation of officers TO be voted for
on Monday next and was precipi-
tated by variety of resolutions
on these subjects. John Sharp
Williams was unanimously chos-
en- as the nominee for Speaker
and this acticn of the caucus
makes him the minority leader
for the ensuing Congress to sue
ceed himself. After he had been
chosen for another term as minori-
ty leader, Mr.. Williams addressed
the caucus on matters of policy
and the Importance of a virile
minority. He spoke for nearly an
horr and in vigorous terms re-
pudiated the idea alleged to have
been put forth by Republicans
that the Democratic party was a
do nothing party. He referred
to tho long period that the Dam
ocratic party was in power and
declared very emphatically that
the record of that long trust COM
pared very favorably with that of
any party in charge of any gov
J ernment at any time.
| Mr.. Williams said the Demo-
cratic party favored free trade
| for the Philippine Islands. 1t
did not believe that these islands
/ should be retained by this gov
ernment, but it did believe they
should have all of The benefits
aecruing under the American
flag as long as that flag floated
over them.
Concerning the predominant
question OF railway rate legisla-
ton he declared that such
Legislation was in accord with the
general Democratic principle OF
special privileges to none and
equal opportunities to all. He
congratulated the country on
the fact that the president and
his followers had accepted this
Democratic idea, and declared
that without the aid OF the
president the Democratic party
could do nothing at this
time in the way of rate Legislation;
while, on the other hand, the presi-
dent and his followers could do
nothing without the aid of the
Democrats.
| Mr.. Williams then spoke with
great emphasis about the
prevalence of graft in the
government service, which he
said had lifted it's head in the
diplom attic service in Venezuela,
in the public land service, in the
postoffice and agricultural depart
ment and elsewhere. In business
circles graft had become worse
than in politics. Graft was the
result of corrupt ideas, which
must necessarily have breading
place somewhere, and Mr.. Will
liams declared that "the princl-
pie of protection" was this breed
ing place.
ssIt is not far cry declared
Mr.. Williams, 'sfrom the position

Eaany Members.

In every Elks' Lodge in the
Union memorial services were
conducted last Sunday afternoon
in memory Of the deceased NOM
bers of the order who while liv-
ing were friends Of the order and
everv one who had taken the SOL
emn an d binding obligations
when becoming members. The
services in the beautiful lodge
rooms of Columbus Lodge No.
sos were peculiarly appropriate
to the occasion and made a deep
impression for good upon ali
present.
The memorial address was de-
livered by Rev. Isaac d. Borders,
pastor of the Second Methodist
church. Mr.. Borders took for
his subject Immortality" and
handled it in such an instructive
and pleasing way that no one
could help but feel that the power
of God controlled his thoughts
and words.
Vocal selections were rendered
by Mrs. II. j. Dashiell, Miss
Teresa O MAly and a Male
Quartette, and Mr.. d. r. Saun-
ders, who is gifted in that line,
recited Thanatopeis.
The occasion was not only en-
tertaining but impressive and
many went away with better
feeling toward the Eiks than they
had heretofore had.

unsuccessful, cut salaries and q short
ened season. This reputation made il
harder and harder for the i~mpresario
to 20 to Paris and get just the artists
he wanted. He had to persuade in
stead of command the market, which,
on account of the higher salaries, he
ought to have been in a position to do.
With these facts in mind, Thomas
Brulatour inaugurated and, in q man
ner, underworld Y scheme which is
certain to make the approaching sea-
son one Of the very greatest in his
tory. He organized a purse from
among the well-to-do lovers of music
here and in this manner undertook to
guarantee the season. The impress
ario is no longer the responsible finan-
cial butt. He is in the employ of this
body of men. A sufficient amount has
been guaranteed practically to run
the entire season If the opera did not
make q cent.
The result is that NJ. Charley is in
Paris, enabled to rule the market. He
seeks the artists he wants, or rather
they are seeking him. They know he
will get q season of the length pro-
missed and the salary agreed upon.
With this power and equipped with a
vast knowledge of artists, he is select
ing the very best. It will be entirely
