Resenting Presidents Slur.
Labor organizations in many places
over the country have taken official ac-
ton to show their resentment concern
ing the comparison made by President
Roosevelt stigmatizing e. H. Harri-
vian as being as bad citizen as Debs,
Meyer and Haywood. The executive
committee of the Moyer-Haywood de-
Tense committee has issued an open
letter of protest to the president on be-
half of 100000 laboring men whom
they claim to represent. They call at
tention to the fact that before the law
and before fair minded persons Meyer
and Haywood are considered innocent
until proved guilty in fair proceedings
and ask IL the presidents language
comes within his definition of square
deal. They suggest that such words
from the chief executive are likely to
poison the mind Of the public and of
the possible injury against these men
who await trial. They ask ifs he will
not make public amends.
In the New York Worker, the lead
ing Socialist paper of the east Eugene
" Debs deliberately calls the president
"a coward In the White House." saying
that II 1t were the last act Of his life
he would resent this browning out
rage upon these honest and reputable
workingmen." He adds that IL Theo-
dore is the best citizen he wants to be
considered the worst
w. ID. Haywood, one Of the accused
men, has issued a signed statement
saying that the presidents comparison
will work more injury to him and do
more to prevent a fair trial than any
thing else that has been said or done
against him in the past.

Nine Years Old Nina Jacobs Of Maple
River Bears Her Sufferings Ad-
mirably.

Miss Nina Jacobs, the nine years old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Judd Jacobs
who reside on the A. E. Hartshorn
place in Maple River, was so badly
scalded Tuesday that for a time fears
were entertained for her recovery.
The child was playing about the
kitchen, and in running across the
floor, stumbled, and in an effort to
save herself from falling grasped the
edge of dishpan full of boiling hot
water, that her mother had just dipped
from the reservoir. The pan was up
set, and the contents quickly saturat-
ed the little girls clothing, and scald-
ed her legs terribly. Dr. Roach of
Bennington, thought at first that blood
poisoning would result, but at present
the little patient seems we'll on her
way to recovery She has borne acute
sufferings with remarkable patience
and fortitude that commands the ad-
miration of her elders.

ed. One of the children, boy agec
three years, was adopted by a family
who later moved away, and when
Mrs. Lousbey grew to womanhood
she had lost all track OF her brother
during the intervening years.
Fourteen years ago she began a
systematic search for him, writing
scores of letters in an effort to locate
his whereabouts Finally one of
these letters reached him a short time
ago at some point in Canada, and the
relationship of the long separated
sister and brother having been fully
established through subsequent cor

SOCIOLOGICAL
Peace Congress Opens.

The much advertised peace congress,
which is sort Of unofficial prelude to
the international conference at The
Hague, opened its session in Carnegie
hall. New York city, on the evening
of the 14th Bishop Potter presided Ia
the absence of Andrew Carnegie, who
was the permanent chairman. At the
next session a letter from President
Roosevelt was read indorsing the OBJ
jects of the congress and referring at
some length to the work being done by
the United States toward the promo
ton of international peace. The pres-
dent made distinction between peace
and righteousness with which Carnegie
took sharp Issue. Quoting the state
ment that righteousness 'exalteth a
nation" the president said, Though
normally peace Is the handmade Of
righteousness. yet If they are ever at
odds it is righteousness whose cause
we must espouse." He also urged that
the peace men should not "by insist
ing on the impossible put off the day
when the possible can be accomplish
ed" Carnegie asserted that peace and
righteousness could not be divorced
and asked what could be greater right
eousness than peace on earth, good will
toward men.
Professor Hugo Munsterberg OF Har
ward came into the limelight by de-
Tending the military system Of Ger
Enany. saying that the majority of the
German people did not find it burden

Carnegie protested that If the thou

The First Fruits.

Perhaps the efforts of the Civic
Improvement League has nothing to
do with, but it is just as we'll to give
the league credit for it. At any
event, E. +. Dudley has commenced a
work on his property>on Water ST.
near Exchange, which when com
pleted, will be an example which
many another person around town
would do we'll to emulate.
Workmen are tearing down the
high fence which surrounds the prop
erty. The long building used for
chicken coops will be taken down and
the entire property extending from
the main building north to the resi-
dence of ]. S. Mcclure will be
plowed UP and seededN from Water
street back to the river Residents
in that neighborhood, if not all over
town, will be highly gratified at the
prospect 1t will make a beautiful
spot, and great Improvement.
A few years ago the city could
have secured that entire property at
very reasonable figure The build
ings could have been sold for sum
that would have put the land in very
presentable condition, and then when
the city arrived at the point where
new city hall became necessity,
the site would be in readiness.
But that time is gone, and the
property is not for sale.

rev. - Aheo' word upon ar
irving was to resent this imputation
He said he came to preach the religion
of Christ and his mission was to rec.
oncile all classes In religion, adding
that the poorest would be as welcome
in his church as the money king.
A Militant Clergyman.
In rather striking contrast to the
general pacific sentiment which per-
vaded the city by reason Of the meet
ing of the peace congress at New York
was the discourse delivered by the
Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix, rector Of Trinity
church. He referred to the profession
honorable and useful to the state. He
characterized war as an ancient, hon
orable, necessary art" and spoke light
ly of the impending peace congress.
Among the listeners to DR.. Dix was
Bishop Potter, who at the peace choral
service in the evening criticised the
clergyman's remarks.
Pope Appoints Cardinals.
At session Of the sacred college at
Rome last week Pope Plus appointed
seven new cardinals, five of whom are
Italians, one a Belgium and one u
Spaniard. This makes a total mem
bership Of sixty-two In the college,
majority of whom are Italians. Dur
Ing the consistory the pope spoke at
length regarding the situation In
France, showing much emotion, but In
dicating that his future attitude would
be that of calm resignation rather than
militant opposition. He announced his
acceptance and recognition of the re-
public, thus contradicting rumors of
royalist plot which recently were cir
culated In France. The pope contend
ed that the French government was
trying by unfair means to confuse the
institutions and regime of the country
with the view of placing upon him the
onus OF having opposed popular gov
eminent; nevertheless he was pleased
/ to notice the unity and loyalty Of the
French clergy. He would oppose love
to hatred, truth to error and forgive
ness to insults and pray that the enc
niles of religion would cease their per-
SecutiOns
Catholic Hierarchy Meets.
The Catholic archbishops of the
United States held their annual meet
Ing at Washington in the new 500, 900
mansion presented by them to Mgr.
Falconio, the papar delegate. A re-
quest from New York, to erect a Cath
Ollie hall at Cornell was denied, as 1t
was deemed necessary to concentrate
nll efforts in developing the Catholic
university by affiliating with Catholic
colleges and high schools. The HER
nrchy denied the report that Rome had
called upon the United States for
S1,0O0,000 contribution to Peters pence.
II was decided to make a more accu-
rate enumeration of the church mem
bership In this country, and commit
tee to do this work In conjunction with
the federal census bureau was ap.
pointed.
