keynote of Secretary Roots
Theme at Kansas City.

A worldwide peace, substan-
tial and enduring, made possible
by closer commercial and friend
ly relations between nations, was
the keynote of notable speech
delivered Monday night by Elihu
Root, secretary of state. Follow
ing Mr.. Root, the diplomatic rep
resentatives of FIVE Latin-Amer-
lean republics made speeches
along the same lines.
Secretary Root, who addressed
himself TO the toast, Our rela-
tons with South America,
spoke in part as follows:
Since John Jay made the tariff
treaty which is commemorated
| by the annual dinner of this club
the United States has passed
through a period of comparative
isolation and indifference in for
to our own internal matters and
for a long period ceased to take
| much note of what was going or
abroad, or to be much concerned
with the way in which it might
affect us.
Now, however, our growth
has been SO great as TO bring us
again on the wider field of the
worlds trade and constructive
enterprise into contact with al
the great and active nations o
fmankind. We have entered anew
whether we will or not, by tint
necessities of our development
into the field of intimate rela
tons with all the nations of tn
hearth. 1t is field in which TIL,
guiding principle laid down b,
Washington, of friendship 70
all with entangling alliances witt
none is as wise rule of con
duct as it was in Washington
thine. 1t is as true now as it wa
then that Europe has certain
| primary interests in which w
are not concerned, and int
which we should not permit our
selves to be drawn; yet, it is
field in which we care no longe
to be Indifferent or to be ignor
| ant, for in it the interests of OIL
vast production and trade ar
vitality concerned; and, in it, w
have responsibilities and duties
| duties TO civilization and to hu
manity, which we cannot escap
if we would and which the con
science of America will not per
NIT us to escape if we could.
/ THE greater part OF the con
troversies and wars between ia
tons arise from the tendency q
the people of each nation to as
sumo that upon every question
which arises all the right is upol
their side and to insist upon hav
| ing their own way without tina
| deliberate and kindly considera
ton of the rights and interest
lof the other side of the question
| which just man would give t
his neighbor. America has give
| to the world an example of
democracy made up OF individual
capable of that self control an
| self restraint which enables tn
| defeated contestants in a mos
excited political controversy t
accept peacefully the judgmen
of the majority and leads the en-
tire community, however keer
| may be its feelings, to bow wit
respect to judicial judgment. TIL
same spirit reinforced by tn
sentiment for humanity and tn
desire to help the progress of civ
| ilization, the rule of peace an
justice throughout the world ma
exert a powerful influence no
only our own affairs with othe
nations, but upon the interna
| iional intercourse of mankind"

Turkey Supply Sufficient

In the opinion of the leading
poultry men the supply of tur-
KEYS his year for Thanksgiving
will be sufficient to supply the

have as yet contracted their birds
it is no reason to believe that the

" SqYED mY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to cid age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The &C t i o n Of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-

it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ

No system is too weak or

HUNTING THE SEA OTTER.
How Aleuts Procure One of the Most

Whether fog or clear, the spearing is
done only In calm weather.

mel who have been on desert Islands, or
lived among cannlbals. II is enough for
some people only TO gaze upon such
man. For our part at the Savage, we
found the baron not only an interesting
person, but also singularly amusing
companion, and brimful Of anecdotes and
stories Of all kinds.
We talked till late At about three In
the morning, when we had gone half
round the world with him, he told us a
very singular and surprising story.
He had not been the only European
on certain island all the time, he said.
For six months or 80 he had companion
in the shape Of a poor fellow-an Eng
lishman-who had been washed ashore
upon a piece Of timber The natives
were Eoing to spear this human jetsam,
when he interfered and saved him, and
continued TO protect him until he was
able to get him off the island in a vessel
which came a blackbrding. This fell
low" said the baron, was the most in
tolerable creature In existence. Earlier
In his existence he had committed a
murder and during the whole Of his stay
on the island he was suffering ngonies
Of remorse; all day long he wept and
groaned. and was afraid to leave me for
fear Of being speared At night he would
not sleep at a distance Of more than a
foot or so from me for fear. And he
was always visited every night by the
ghost Of the respectable uncle whom he
had slain"

II spent the best part Of the night In
abusing the poor man, and he In an

tions. As for revenge, | suppose no 9TH
er murdered man ever took 50 much out
OF his murderer. Well, 1t was tedious.
At length my Englishman declared that
be desired nothing so much as to get
away from the island, and give himself
up to Justice. II he could only make his
way to Australia aud then get passage
to England, he would give himself W

"A lively companion"
"Yes. But to look at him you would
think him dull heavy fellow. who
seemed to have no spirit for such des

CIVILIANS AND TRANSPORTS.
Army Rules Constantly Evaded b,
cmcers and Friends


1t is reported from Washington that
the war department Is renewing Its
efforts to restrict the use of the trans
ports to officers and soldiers of the
army. Similar reports have reached
us before. They make periodic APP
pearances. but the transports continue
to be filed with civilians, junketlng
political personages and the sisters,
the cousins and the aunts OF officers
and men, not to mention their wives,
children and servants, while the young
subalterns continue to be thrust into
the cramped quarters 'tween-deck-to
accommodate persons who never wear
epaulettes or shoulder muskets.
The war department has not yet had
the hardlhood to deny openly that fam
transportation across the seas, but 1t
tries to limit the size of the families,
not infrequently with amusing results.
Not many months ago an infantry cap
tain applied for transportation for his
wife, two sisters and children. The
allowance OF sisters was cut down one
half. only one being given accommoda-
lions. However, he managed to ring
IN the rejected sister as the nurse to
his child. This shrewd solution of the
problem looked lovely and everybody
was happy until on arriving OH board
the transport 1t was found that, while
the wife and other sister were given
cabin staterooms the nurse sister was
assigned to the steerage quarters with
the wives OF enlisted men. Horriblel
The roar that arose was heard way up
Folsom street. The throats OF both
sexes were taxed to express their hor-
ror and indignation. The quartermas-
ter captain was at once summoned and
lively protest made. or course, the
story came out then and the fact that
the alleged nurse was really brother
officers fair sister travelling In dis
gulse was impressed upon the perplex-
ed quartermaster captain, who for a
time took refuge in a quiet stateroom
to think out the situation. 1t was
finally patched up In some way and
both sisters taken to Manila, but the
nurse trick was not attempted again
by that family, although 1t has been
successfully worked at other times.
Another officer with wife and two
sisters had less fortunate experience
only a few days ago. He had been or.
dered to the Philippines on special
duty. His application for his wife and
two sisters to accompany him was
frowned upon. He thereupon wrote
to the authorities, saying that his posi-
tion,. being on special duty, was moi
akin to that OF those proceeding under
routine orders or routine duties. II.

from Washington came a telegram Just
before the vessel sailed giving author

A laboring man, with dinner pail
beside him, sat on the curb at Fifth
