ASSOCIATION PRAISED
SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT COM. MENDS THE WORK OF THE
 Y. M. c. A.

Dayton, O., April.-Secretary of War Taft delivered the principal ad- dress here Sunday at the laying of the cornerstone of the new building of the Young Mems Christian Asso- ciation.
 He also handled the trowel as the stone was lowered into it's place and smeared the mortar around like a master mason. His friends planned a parade of civic societies before the laying of the cornerstone, but by the wish of the secretary this was dis pensed with. The secretary was giv- en a fiattering reception by a throng of about 5000. After expressing appre- citation of his good fortune in being able to present on the occasion of the dedication of this great new building in your beautiful city to the high purposes of the Young Mems Christian Association" Secretary Taft said in part
 "The great advantage of the in stitution is that, after long experience,
 
 most approved business principles, and while it furnishes, on the one hand, an opportunity for the contri- buttons of those who love their fel bowman, it furnishes, on the other, an example of assistance to those who need assistance which is not extrava- gant 0 reXcessive and which does not discourage self help by creating a spirit of dependence in those who en- joy the benefits which it offers.
 Another character of the associa- tion is it's nonsectarian religious qual- ligion, is tolerant, liberal in it's scope and knows no denomination, no race, no politics.
 "The truth is, the growth of the Young Mems Christian Association has been an evidence of. and at the same time an assistance to, the growth of the spirit of Christian tol- erance among all denominations. We are all more tolerant today than formerly.
 T OI Ldny ISdSOIS HcNC l NOAhO eO bear testimony to the greatest of the associations, whose strength and use fitness of this beautiful building typi- fes. It is only one of many evidences to be found all over this country and far distant Philippines, on the isth- mus, in Cuba and in Porto Rico, of the great work which the association is doing in the moral elevation of American manhood"

creates the office of two deputy
agents. AS the house only recessed

continuation of Thursdays legislative

Mr.. Kennedy led the fight of the
minority against taking up this bill
which was then before the house for
consideration. He said the people OF
Texas did not want any such law
Mr.. Kennedy made an effort to take
up the automatic tax bill of the senate,
but this failed by vote of So to So.

ton was that the majority was unable
to transact any business through the
tactics of the minority. The house
was placed under call and the ser
