the International Congress of Socialists,
met for the first time on German soil

liza and Japan. Secretary Van der Velde
of the International Socialist Bureau, Off
ciated at the opening of the congress. The
opening address was made by Herr Bebel
of Germany. He laid stress on the So
cialist gains during the past year in
France and on the fact that for the first
time Socialists had been elected to the
British Parliament In his own country,
while the number of seats in the Reich
stag had been reduced, he pointed out
that the Socialist vote had increased a
quarter of a million since 1900. He said
the number of enrolled members of So
cialist syndicates in Germany last year
was 100000. He referred to the scan
dalous prosecution" of Haywood in Amer
lea, and expressed satisfaction at his ac-
quittal. Herr Singer presided. An open
air mass meeting was attended by 10000
Socialists. The more important subjects
discussed during the week were immigra-
tion, the relations of the party to trade
unions and the proposal to introduce sim
ultaneously in all parliaments motion
for establishing by law maximum working
hours.

DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI.
Great Pageant to Honor Roosevelt
Early in October.

Early in October.
For the first time in history a Presi-
dent of the United States is going to
take journey on the Mississippi river,
not for the purpose of getting from one
point to another, but to see the great
river, to meet the people who live along
its banks and to acquaint himself with
the conditions as they exist at the
present time in that territory adjacent
to the father Of waters" True to his
principle Of seeing things for himself
instead Of through the eyes of others.
President Roosevelt is coming to the
Mississippi valley in October TO find
way and those tributary to it really
are, and the members of the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association
hope to so impress him with the i'm
portance of their project that before he
leaves the middle west he will be sing
ing IA feet through the valley" as
Justify as the rest of them.
The entire river from Keokuk, Ind,
where he embarks on the river boat
Mississippi, to Memphis, where his
journey ends, will be en- fete to greet
him, but at ST. Louis the most elabor-
ate rece1tion will occur. Here the har-
Dor and the city will combine to do him
honor, and the decorations as we'll as
the program of events will be on the
most elaborate scale possible. The
President will leave Keokuk on Tues
day morning, Oct. l, and will go down
the river on the Mississippi river Com
missions steamboat Mississippi, arriv-
ing at st. Louis about o'clock in the
morning Of the I'd. Here he will be
met by the Governors of 20 Mississippi
valley States, the officers of the Lakes
to-theGulf Deep Waterway Associa
tion and the Executive Committee Of
the st. Louis Business Mems League,
who are his hosts on this occasion. He
will remain in st. Louis few hours;
departing thence for Cairo and Men,
phis. Along the river every town will
be decorated in honor of the distln-
guished traveller, and every boat from
one end of the river to the other is ex-
pected to take some part in the great
fOur-day pageant.

TWO WoMEN's DEVOTION
May fot Bring Freedom to Caleb
Powers of Kentucky.


While nothing deini:2 is vet known
as to the time of Caleb Powers next
trial, recently deferred. on the charge of
numbering Gov. William Gocbel of Ken
lucky, the preparations are being made
and when the case is again called his de-
tense will be complete. lncarcerated for
seven years for, a murder which changed
the political history of State, outlawed
Its Governor and wrecked many homes,
Powers, who at the age of 80 years was
Secretary of State for Kentucky, is still
fighting desperately for his life and lib.
erty. Three times already Caleb Powers
has been condemned for participation in
the Goebel assassination three times he
has been granted new trials. To his moth
az and his old school teacher he is in
debted for at least two of these.
Almost Immediately after the murder
Powers was arrested while trying to es-
cape in disguise. On Aug 10 following,
a jury pronounced him guilty of COM
plic.ty in the assassination and fixed his
punishment at life Imprisonment. He
was a man of some little means and his
political friends, partly considering his
triai as one arraigning his party before
the world, came to his aid and new trial
was granted.
1T was a towards shot which slew
Goebel, and Caleb is not a coward"
This is what Mrs. Re5ecca Powers, the
mother of the prisoner, said at the first
trial. This is what she said after the
appeal was successful, and this is what
she made many others believe by consist.
ant reiteration.
II know Caleb is not a coward, and
also know he had no connection with the
deep damnation Of Goebel's taking off,"
This was the downright answer to ev-
cry charge made against the prisoner re
turned by Mrs. Lulie Clay Brock, who

taught the young man when he was a
youngster and who remembered the slight
blue-eyed boy who called her his second
mother"
But the convictions of these women
had no weight with the second jury which
passed upon the guilt or innocence of the
man. SO on Oct. %, 1901, these twelve
men brought in a verdict of guilty, and
again was the prisoner sentenced to the
penitentiary for his natural life.
In the meantime, however, and before
Gov. Taylor left the State as a fugitive
from justice to prevent arrest and ar
raignment for completely in the same as
sassnation, the executive granted a par
don to the prisoner. The Supreme Court
of the State declared this pardon void,
holding that Taylor had ceased to be Gov
ernOr at the time it was issued.
But the feeble old mother never ceased
praying for her sons freedom. Nor did
she waver in her faith as to his inno-
'cence. She had impoverished herself,
having sold her little farm and moved to
the home Of a daughter, Ito aid in raising
finances for the son to continue his battle
against what seemed to be overpowering
odds. Then came the third trial. She
was living in an humble cottage in Bar
louisville, and every evening she could
be found standing at the gate her very
soul crying out for verdict of limo
cent
Finally the verdict was carried to her.
but it was as far from that expected and
hoped for as day is from night. 1t was
hn of hat
she learned that third jury had con-
demned her boy to death.
Holding herself steadily erect. the aged
woman made but one comment:
my son is innocent; my sole prayer
now is to the God of the fatheress and
the widow that he will c1en the eyes and
soften the hearts of those enemies of
Caleb who seem determined to have his
life. But both he and l will live to prove
to the world that he had no connection
with the crime"
Prior to this trial Powers had used up
about all the funds he could secure. Now
he was pretty well discouraged. Again
did a woman come to his rescue. In the
mountain school at FlemingSburg, Caleb
Powers had inspired that affection in Mrs.
BrCcE which was to bring forth harvest
that made a fourth trial possible. Not
withstanding her - years she gave up all
her time to raising a fund for Powers
defense. She resigned from the little
school and travelled the length and
breadth of the State in behalf of her for
mer pupil. She Wis particularly sue.
cessful among the women of the State,
and it was her spirit, which she impaired
to others, that made the fourth trial a
certainty.
One of the att tndants will be the pris.
oner's mother. She says she cannot bear
the suspense which was hers while await
ing the verdict in the third trial. and she
Is confident that the prejudices of former
juries will not be a part of the makeup
of the next which will try her i'2y What
ever the outcome Of the tria. the prs-
oaer is bearing up with remarkable fsrti.
