borne the burdens of the republic, gratefully recognize our indebtedness to their service and profit by the les sons of their experience. shall we prove our capacity to meet the demands and solve the problems of later day. In our warm affection and our tender rev. erence for those great spirits who in the providence of God have led us as a people. we find the surest basis for our present testament. An ungrateful re- public cannot endure.
 Tribute to Mckinley.
 Tt Is not my purpose in this brief exercise to attempt to recount the ser vices of him in whose honor we meet. They are an imperishab1e part of the nations history. Soldier. representa- tive. governor, president-these were the stages of his distinguished career. Having fought gallantly in his youth. throughout the period of civil strife. to preserve the union, 1t was his last years to preside over the destinies of the union which with a revived and in- tensified national consciousness, we as- sume the enlarged and unexpected responsibilities which followed upon a war carried to noble victory under his leadership and supported by the people in unselfish enthusiasm for the cause of humanity. 1t was his happy lot to be chosen the chief executive of the nation after a contest which vindicated the sanity of the public judgment and new confidence in the work ing of our popular institutions. With restored credit the country under his administration, quietly recovered from the depression Of trade. entered upon a period of extraodinary expansion and prosperity. William Mckinley. sought patiently to learn the peoples will and faithfully to execute it.
 Tt is a significant, and gratifying characteristic of the American people that more than the, particular benefit conferred by service they prize the virtues of character which in the course of service are exemplified. Duty to friendship, the grace of a husbands devotion. the honor of manhood. the beauty of the forbearancs of unwearied patience, endeared William Mckinley to the hearts of his fellow citizens. and in their memory eclipsed the memory of an administration flatter- ing to American pride.
 We may see but dimly into the future. We may be confused by the perplexities of our modern life, made the more difficult by the very riches Of our inheritance, but as we set our course by the pole-star of truth and justice, and conserve the ideals of character which our fathers have taught us to revere. we shall not fail"

THE FARMERS UNION CREATES A
 COMMITTEE.
Meeting at Little Rock Adopts Copy right Label, Fixes Price of COt- ion Seed and Ad-
 iOurnH.

Little Rock. Sept. 5.-The National Convention of the Farmers Co-opera- tive Educational Union of America closed here this afternoon at o'clock.
 Probably the most important feature of today's session was the naming of a legislative committee consisting of Ben L.. Griffin, of Arkansas, Campbell Russell of Indian Territory and R. F. Duokworth of Georgia. which will es- fablish headquarters in Washington during the sessions of Congress- and foster legislation that will benefit the farming communities and light against legislation deemed ipfmicai to their i'm terests.
 A resolution was adopted providing that the Union shall have a copyright label. It is the purpose to use it on all products marketed by the union men.
 The convention also fixed the price of cotton seed at $20 per ton. The committees recommendation was slightly lower. Tonight there was a general exodus of the delegates.

 He explained, too. that Alabama was producing at this time great quantf- ties of creosote. The Semet-Solvay Company of Ensley, had an enormous investment In the industry of making creosote at Ensley. It is coal tar prepartion in which the mineral dis trict is rich. It sells at retai from Is to IT cents a galloon At wholesale it is much cheaper. The total cost of creosoting each old field pine post in the estimation of MT. Hill, would only be 10 cents. and the posts would have a longer life than the very best of the white oak or red cedar posts which have been so highly esteemed.
 In shade Of Trees.
 The speakers had a stand erected under the oak and sweet gum trees. Before them on the sloping hillside an amphitheatre of benches was arranged. But the crowd was so big that only a part of it could get within the sound of the speakers voices.
 The day was ideal for such an occa- sion. The recent showers had broken the long spell of blistering weather and the mid-day hours were spent under tsae trees, with ease and comfort. The barbecue grounds were just north of AhO 41OukAS anu OuiO LEdCks, d ClTcuul- stance which interfered to some extent with the effectiveness For somehow, a procession of freight trains appeared to be due about the time the speaking began. Each engineer tried to blow his whistle louder than the man in front All of them were quite success full in noise making.
 It was an earnest, attentive. crowd. One of the most powerful evidences of the educational movement so pro- nounced in Alabama is the energetic purpose of the Alabamian to learn something of new methods which may help him in his business. He travels far and endures many discomforts to enlarge his store of information.
 This keen desire for wider knowl- edge was manifested today in the crowding and pushing about the stand of the speaker. The farmers were there to learn something and they proposed to do 1t, if there was anything to be learned. The young people might sit afar in the shade and talk to one arf- other over inconsequential things, the mothers might sit far back where they could keep their eyes on the small chill dren, but the heads of the families were there on more serious business. So while a part only of the great gath

Case of AIrs. schwartE.

Commissioner Sargent of the Imfni- grafton Bureau has referred to Att torney General Bonaparte the case of Mrs. Schwartz and six children detain- ed at Quebec, and not permitted to come into the United States and join her husband and father. Isaac Schwartz of Montgomery.
 Mir. Sargent has received Congress- man Wiley's letter on the subject which appeared in The Advertiser. The Com- missioner says he was present at Que- bee when Mrs. Schwartz gave her tes- timony. He says also that three of the Schwartz children are victims of trach- oma and on thls account they cannot be admitted until cured; and that Mrs. Schwartz admitted being treated in London for a serious eye affliction; but MT.

HE STILL CRIES FOR SHIPS
By ALFRED J. STOPPER,

Washlngtons Sept. b.-(SpeciaI. )--s Congressman Richmond Pearson Hob- son expressed the opinion here today In rather vigorous language that there was grave danger of a war between the United States and Japan.
 In statement furnished The Ad. vertiser the Sixth District Represent- alive said:
 '"The only possible hope of peace Is to get our entire fleet out to the Far East: Naturally the European powers. playing tn game with Japan, and par- ticulariy the British, will become act- i've in the Atlantic to make our Att lantic States timid with our fleet or part of it in the Atlantic. But we should unhesitatingly send that fleet straight to the Far East and keen it there while we build two other fleets as large for the Atlantic and South American seas to protect the Monroe doctrine.
 'If Japan cannot find some further pretext now than the sailing of the fleet, 1t is not unlikely that she will cause the so-called yellow press Of this country to infiames the Japanese people and use this as & basis to make representations for America to with- hold the further progress of the fieets and if necessary pretend with regret that she has to urge and insist that we do not send the fleet further.
 All in all, we are at very critical juncture In our country's foreign re- lations and at period when the Pan- anna Canal is not completed, which will be one dangerous period--the pe- riod that will be sought by Japan, backed by the powers, to bring on c war.
 During this period. because of our utterly inadequate navy our people must be prepared to not only be ex- ceedingIy calm and conservative. but to accept any form of humiliation that may come. We have neglected the question of defense so long that we must now eat dirt Our policy must be to build ships and eat dirt and we cannot stop eating dirt until after the ships are built"
 Cantain Hobson also insists that the Understanding with the other nations is doubtless that Japan will throw ATn- erica out of the Pacific ocean, and Am erica would have to stop for q num- Der of years to make preparations to go back, and by that time the partit- ion of China would have been conplet- ed and America to get back into the far East. would have to face the com bined world, and at such distance would be confronted by practically insurmountable barrier.
