above all. we insist that while
facing changed conditions and new
problems. we must face them in the
spirit which our forefathers showed
when they founded and preserved
this republic. The cornerstone of
the republic lies in our treating each
man on his worth as a man, paying
no heed to his creed, his birthplace,
or his occupation, asking not whether
he is rich or poor whether he labors
with head or hand; asking only
whether he acts decently and honor
|ably in the various relations of his
life, whether he behaves well to his
family, to his neighbors, to the
state. We base our regard for each
man on the essentials and not the
accidents. We judge him not by
his profession, but by his deeds; by
his conduct, not by what he has ac-
quired Of this worlds goods. Other
republics have fallen, because the
citizens gradually grew to consider
the interests of class before the in
terests of the whole; for when such
was the case 1t mattered little wheth-
|er II was the poor who plundered the
rich or the rich who expedited the
poor; in either event the end of the
republic was at hand. We are reso-
lutte in our purpose not to fall into
such a pit. This great republic of
|ours shall never become the govern
ment of a plutocracy, and It shall
never become the government of
mob. God willing. it shall remain
what our fathers who founded It
meant it to be-a government in
which each man stands on his worth
las man, where each is given the
largest personal liberty consistent
with securing the well-being of the
whole. and where, So far as In us
|lies, we strive continually to secure
for each man such equality Of oppor-
|tunity that in the strife OF life he
may have fair chance to show
the stun that is in him. We are
proud of our schools and OF the
trained intelligence they give our
|children the opportunity to acquire.
But what we care for most is the
character OF the average man; for
we believe that If the average OF
character in the individual citizen is
sufficiently high, If he possesses
those qualities which make him
worthy of respect in his family life
land in his work outside. as well as
the qualities which fit him for sue
|cess in the hard struggle Of actual
|existence-that if such is the char
|aeter OF our individual citizenship.
there is literally no height OF tri-
|umph unattalnable in This vast ex-
pertinent Of government BY. OF, and

Secretary Straus Fighting "Hoid-
up" Mt Immigrant stations.

The Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor is determined to put an end to
the practice Of lawyers operating at
Ellis Island and other immigrant sta
tlons, who hold up" for exhorbitant
fees such aliens as have occasion to
take appeals to the head Of the depart
ment. The fee allowed by the govern
ment in such cases IS SIC. Lawyers
who charge in excess of that amount
are debarred from practice at immi-
grant stations.
This has not deferred certain shysters
at New York and elsewhere from prey
ing upon ignorant aliens. The an
nouncement was made yesterday that
the department has in contemplation
the issuance of an order providing that
the name Of lawyers who oYercharge
immigrants in appeal cases shall be
posted at all stations and given ont

PEDESTRIAN SEEKS LIGHT.
Wants 20 Know Relative Rights of
Chauffeur and Plain Citizen.

Weary of lodging automobiles and side
stepping reckless drivers, w. d. Nesbit,
of 1i45 Girard street, has requested that
he be informed by the Commissioners as
to the rights of the common, or garden,
variety oA pedestrians.
"A man lfOot on a regular crossing, ="
writes Mr. Nesbit. "and moving at an
ordinary pace sees a team or an auto
mobile bearing down on him at a rapid
rate without any apparent disposition on
the part Of the driver to avoid striking
him The man afoOt can't afford 10 risk
life or limb and takes himself out of the
way in time TO hear the insulting COM
ments Of the people in the carriage And
the policeman who looks on is uncon-

Mr.. Nesbit then procee g 90 ask a num-
Der Of pertinent questions concerning the
respective rights and privileges Of the
driver and the man afOOt, concluding with
the inquiry as TO whether If the pedes-
trian has any rights, Is il the duty OF the

rights?"

and maneuvered his company in good
style, but there was lacking the finish
that could only come with another year
or two Of drill. First Lieut. c. L. Ha-
mann and Second Lieut.. Tracy Johnston
did good work in the platoon movements.
Company A next entered the list. and
Capt. George NJ Oyster. with his two
good lieutenants. Ray A. Thompson. first.
and Harold A. Wilson. second. swung the
big seven-fours company through the
drill in an even. unhurried gait. but with
pretty enough precision. Capt Oyster
took his company over q good deal of
