SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
T OS ANGELES, July 19.-Herbert
S. Hadley, Attorney General of
IL Missouri. who attained national
prominence in his fight against
Standard Oil and other trusts, arrived
here today to deliver an address before
the Long Beach Chautauqua. He re-
ferred in modest terms to what he had
accomplished in the fight against un-
lawful combination OF capital in re-
straint of trade, but on political sub
Jects he talked freely. Among other
things he declared that the people de-
mand that Roosevelt accept renomina-
ton.
THE fact that the President has re-
peatedly declared that he will not
again be q candidate" he said, does
not seem to have had any effect upon
the determination of the people to have
him. Wherever I go I find the senti-
ment in favor Of Roosevelt almost uni
versal. Under the circumstances
hardly think he can refuse the renomi-
nation, and despite the tremendous op-
position which would be inaugurated
by those whom he has arrayed against
him, his nomination would, 1 think,
amount to election. On the other
ticket think Bryan will again be
nominated"
LONG BEACH, Cal, July 1s.-At
Long Beach tonight on the subject of
Modern Commercialism," Hadley said
in part:
The people OF this country have come
TO a realization of the fact that when
any individuals or corporations, by a
combination and organization of bust
ness interests which is unlawful and
unfair. take from an American citizen
by such Illegal means his money or
property either by giving him less
than he should receive for that which
he should pay for that which he buys,
then such men or corporations are just
as clearly violators OF the law they
are Just as clearly committing the Of
enters your house or the pickpocket
who takes your purse. The American
people, believe, have reached a deter
mination that there shall be placed
upon the statute books, and enforced
in all the States of the Union, laws
which will result in the same punish
ment being meted out to such men as
is meted out 10 the common burglar,
the highway robber or the thief.
l do not believe that the conditions
that exist today in our national life can
dustrial and commercial system will be
overthrown or destroyed; do not be-
ownership offers a solution or a rem
edy. But l do believe that our indus
trial system cannot continue to exist
half lawful. half unlawful I believe
that the American people with that
capacity of arising equal to every
emergency that they have displayed in
the past will see TO it that the unlawful
shall cease and conform to the laws
which represent the experience of CEN
turies and the moral judgment of
eighty millions of people

A young lady organist in Mont

impression on visiting clergy
man one Sunday. Her organ was
pumped by somewhat self willed
old sexton, who had his own ideas
as to how long an organ volun-
tary should last, and would shut
off the wind when he thought
there had been enough.
On this paticular Sunday the
organist thought she would fore

Teachers Association.

On Friday and Saturday there
was held one of the most interest
ing sessions OF the Teachers As
sociation that Delta county has
ever known. Thirteen teachers
were present from Delta and FIVE
from Hotchkiss, while every
teacher from district three was
in attendance.
Several good papers were read
and Judge Dickerson, from Delta,
was present and answered many
perpleNing questions. DR., Cham
bers, of the State Normal, gave a
splendid talk at the M. Z. church
on Friday evening. Miss Royce's
paper on Citizenship" caused a
lively discussion as to the best
manner of training ter Citizen
ship.
DIR. Chambers was kept busy on
Saturday morning answering
questions on psychology. When
the train whistled a little earlier
than usual the visiting teachers
took quite an unceremonious
leave.
The session was a valuable one
in every way and all feel that the
time was we'll spent.
