THE GERMAN LIBEL SUIT.

The end of the Harden libel case at may triumph in the most unexpected places-German army circles for in- stance. When the editor of Die Zu- kunft made public the charges involv- ing won Moltke and Eulenburg. they were so outrageous that it was hardly believed that they could be true and the rest of the world was inclined to suspect that the publication was only a part of the socialistic program against the established order of things.
 The men assailed were believed to be so strongly entrenched in the em- perOr's favor that in any event, there seemed to be but one eventuaIity to the suit. Less than week ago there was an arrogant demand for a more rigid dealing with newspapers which sought to blast honorable regulations
 Since then the truth of the charges, the precise nature of which has not been generally made known. the acts of which von Moltke was alleged to be guilty, being brought under the general but significant head of infa- nous practices, has been established Harden has been justified in his bold stand against d powerful clique.
 The emperor appears to have put forth no effort in von Moltke's behalf. and 1t k doubtful. powerful as he is, if he could have done so without giving the enemies of the government dan geroUs advantage
 When headway can be made against vice in German army official circles it is a sign that the world is growing better.

''Wags" barks as follows: "A trai- tor is despicable creature wherever you find one, whether as a man or as a newspaper. Now watch the Repub- lican froth at the mouth" Now why should the Republican froth at the mouth? on the contrary it endorses in their entirety "Wags'" sentiments regarding the despicability of traitors. The Republican entertained and ex- pressed a similar view to that just about a year ago when "Wags" sold out its columns to the joint statehood committee.

 That is serious charge against the president. as the fusion in New York City between the republican organiza- ton and the independence league Hearsts' Incorporated party-was, and is, one of the worst outrages ever perpetrated on the republican party. IL is not possible that self respecting republicans in that city can consider it in any other light than an insult.
 The assumption that the president is directly or indirectly responsible for that interruptions deal, or that he now approves it, is absolutely base less. Mir. Parsons in a former cam paign acted as a leader in accordance with MT. Roosevelt's wishes. He carried through the nomination of Governor Hughes very handsomely. In that matter he had behind him and carry ing him forward, a tremendous tidal wave of public sentiment.
 But in negotiating the alliance with Hearst MT. Parsons acted for him self, arrogantly and in defiance of the wishes of his party, which he knew could have no fellowship with Hearst ism. President Roosevelt at that time was away from Washington.
 Had the president been consulted on the subject it is as certain as any pos sible action by a public official can be- that he would have condemned il without delay or qualification.

Twas a year ago, al Olney,
That we made our mighty boast
lOf the wondrous things we'd do to yol
| When you became our host.
We would wine and praise and din
| Won, ,
And you'd be So ed with cheer
That you'd think of all he luke warn
burgs
The torrldest was here.
The glare and light would hume The
night
And make it bright as day.
There'd be no room for grimfaeed
gloom,
Life's cares we'd hold at bay.
We'd show to you our River Nile
And off its classic banks
We'd watch the FESTIVE Crocodile
Display his sportive pranks.
And maidens fair would wander there
With many a winsome smile
And your hot air and their hot air
The hours would beguile.
How, like the Ancient Mariner,
You'd ponder and you'd think,
Why. with water water everywhere,
There seemed none here to drink.
How Comus. King of revelry
Would hold majestic sway.
And fun and mirth would rule the
earth
And drive dull care away.
Oh, Sons OF Egypt's sunny land,
Oh, followers of Pharoah.
These things and more we promised
you
When you should come to Cairo.
*b
Now Cairo's gates are flung ajar,
Her doors are opened wide,
The city's keys flung in the sea
And washed out with the tide.
The town is yours and all herein
whate'er of joy and cheer
So what You like Just take along,
The rest just leave right here.

You'll find you needn't hustle far
Its Coming on the run.
Dur heart is in the one right place.
Stretched far our glad right hand.

Welcome 20 Egypt land.

LARGE DELEGATIONS COMING

Also to Send Crowds

ing will be the fight between Cen

next years convention. While the
rivalry is good natured, 1t is none the
less spirited ana every sor: Of means
70 impress upon the Hustlers the ad-
vantages in each particular city have
been resorted to. Centralia was the
first in the field with a lot of alluring
advertising matter but Belleville came
next with an earnest appeal for the
Hustler's vote and followed It up
with several effective advertising fea-
lures Metropolis also entered a bid
for the next meeting at an early stage
of the game but its efforts along the
line of publicity have been rather
neglected. Harrisburg evidently has
been conducting quiet campaign but
blossomed out in an nergetic manner
yesterday and the boomers from that
city who are to arrive today will
doubtlessly put their city on the
Hustlers' map
The rivalry for the next years meet
will greatly increase the crowds and
will give an added zest to the gather
ing. That all the delegations are
coming prepared TO make a de.
termined stand to secure the prize is
shown by the following specials re-
ceived from the contesting cities last
night by The Bulletin:

Best Ever Says Decker.
President Decker and wife arrived
early his morning. "This is going to
be the greatest time the Hustlers
have ever had" he said I'm sure
from the looks of things and from the
earnest cooperation the Hustlers
have received from Cairo people and
the interest that has been taken in
this meet all over Egypt that it will
be the one best bet in the way of a
travelling mems celebration

Ia lemonish taste. Its success al
"A ss1aisy Aas- even .-tha.- most hardened
knockef will have to admit
Mayor Parsons in an interview last
night said that only the weather could
prevent Cairo from making an en-
viable reputation for itself during the
next three days.
Everything possible has been done
to make Cairo's guests enjoy them
selves and to such an extent that
they will take away only words of
proaise and happy remembrance of
their stay here Cairo is indeed
proud to have the Hustlers as her
guests as well as the privilege of |
entertaining so many Of their friends. |
Tomorrow I'll officially turn the city |
over to them but its theirs already |
and If they don't have a good time, it |
at least won't be the fault of any of |
the loyal citizens"
No Need to Go Hungry.
While some difficulty may be ex-
perienced in getting places for all the
visitors to sleep, there will be no
need for any one 20 go hungry. All
the hotels and restaurants have made
special arrangements to feed extra
large crowds. In addition meals will
be served at various halls by ladies of
different churches. Lunch counters
ma eating stands will also probably
be in abundance.
Many More Rooms Needed.
Chairman P. C. Barclay of the ac-
committee last night a;
he meeting of the chairmen of the
committees emphasized the fact that ,
While he still had accommodations for
800 people, it was highly essential
o the success of the meeting that
many more citizens offer to accept ,
roomers for the remainder of the
week.

BY noon fully 10000 people will
have arrived TO be present al the
opening Of the fifth annual froic OF
the Hustlrs and by night ii is ex-
pected that half as many more will
be here.
The advance guard of pleasure
seekers of last night and early this
morning points without doubt to the
largest gathering in the history Of
Cairo.
And Cairo is ready and willing to
do its very level best to entertain the
crowds. Aside from the amusements
offereu by Ine Husrfers trrrrrsnss--r--
and the Cairo merchants and business
men, the citizens have opened their
homes to help accommodate the
Hustlers and their friends. While
ample accommodations have not as
yet been secured. the hospitality OF
many of Cairo's citizens will be re-
membered by the visitors.
Early morning trains all brought in
well filed extra coaches and long be-
fore daylight crowds of expectant
visitors thronged the down town
streets.
Specials to Arrive at Noon.
Special trains from Belleville and
Harrisburg will arrive this morning
as will the steamboats, which left st.
Louis last night loaded down with ex-
cursionists. Scores of Centralia
boomers will arrive today but the
special train from that city will not
be run until Friday. The Belleyille
special will consist of baggage and |
combination car and six coaches, and |
will probably leave there at $50
O'Clock this morning and is due to ar
rive in Cairo at 1890 No stops will
be made for passengers after leaving
Belleyille.
Large crowds from Paducah, Char
lesion, Mound City. Wickliffe and
Birds Point have bon assured by long
distance telephone messages to The
Bulletin.
Low rates have been put in effect
on all railroads and steamboats, run
ming into Cairo and each train today
will have many special coaches.
That the advertising committee did
its work well and faithfully is hown
by the fact that the advance guard of
visitors last night and early this
morning was much larger than was
expected and that interest all over
Egypt has been greater this year
than ever before.
