echoed with the call of bugles, ruffles

WASHINGTON, May IS - The
hrst conferences OF the governors OF
the states OF the American Union
ended today. The accomplishments
OF the conference in session OF three
days will be revealed by time, but that
the immediate results are more than
ample, is the expression OF Roosevelt,
who brought Il about and OF govern
ors who participated
A printed record OF the conference
which later will be available in every
home will be compilation OF facts
startling in their meaning, and con.
vincing in their universal conclusion
that the states and the nation must
cooperate TO the end that the whole
people OF the nation may accrue the
lasting benefits OF its natural re-
sources. The conference leaves as its
permanent thousand words OF the
Declaration of cooperation
Perhaps greater in importance
than all else was the determination
OF the governors to perfect a perna-
nent organization for the discussion
OF a wide range OF topics.
President Roosevelt boldly swept
aside the Academic question:" Of
where the line OF authority should be
drawn between the states and the ma
tion. He wanted action and said he
was trying to find out where the state
or the nation can act so that there
shall always be some sovereign power
that on behalf of the people can hold
>every big corporation, every big in
dfvidual to an accountability so that
its or his acts shall be beneficial TO
people as whole"
The President continued. an mat
ters that relate only to the people
within state OF course the state Is
to be the sovereign and il should have
power to act. If the matter is such
that the safe itself cannot act then I
wish OH behalf of all the states that
the national government should act"
The Declaration" was presented to
the conference by Governor Blan-
chard OF Louisiana and was built on
broad lines and avoided making spe.
cifc endorsements of desired pro.
jects or legislation. The declaration
was adopted without serious discus
sion and the president introduced
Bryan who spoke at length on the
benefits Of conservation Mr. Bryan's
address provoked lengthy applause.
He touched the keynate of harmony
and cooperation aptly and was fol-
lowed by the various governors in a
short discussion including Meade of
Washington, Hook OF Kansas and
others.

Theodore Price Indicted.

Theodore H. Price, for many years
one of the most prominent operator
on the New York cotton market, has
been indicted by the federal grand
jury on charges growing out of the
sensational exposure of the sale OF
government statistics as to cotton
crop conditions in advance of the is
suance of this information to the
public.
The indictments were not unex-
pected by Mr.. Price and he, and his
attorneys, were at the federal build
ing when the grand jury's report was
presented, in readiness to give bail.
Mr.. Price is charged with conspir'
acy to defraud. He was released in
SIC 900 bail.

Belubbed fellaw traoelers, il holdin'

De sermon will be berry short. an dis
here am de tex:
Dat half way doin's amt no :count
fo1 dis world or de mex.
Dis worH dat we's libbin' in is like

Where ebery culled gentleman has
got his line TO hoe;
And ebeIy time lay nigger stops to
take nap,
De grass keeps on a CROWN for to
smudder up his crap.
When Moses led de Jews across de
waters Oh de sea,
Dey had to keep goin' as fas' as fas'
could be.
Do you s'pose dat dey could ebber
had succeeded in deir wish,
And reached de Promised Land at
last if they had stopped to fish?
My fren's, dere was a garden once,
where Adam libed wild Eve,
Wild no one for to bodder 'em, no
neighbors for to thieve;
And ebery day was Christmas, and
dey got their rations free,
And eberything belonged to dem ex-
cep' an apple tree.
You all know 'bout de story-how de
snake come snoopin' round
in on de groun';
How Eve and Adam ct de fruit, and
went and hid der face,
Till de angel oberseer he come and
drove 'em off de place,
Now s'pose dat man and woman
hadn't tempted for to shirk,
But HAD gone about DER gardenin'
and tended to der work,
Dey wouldn't hab been loafin' where
dey had no business to,
And de debbil neber'd got chance to
tell 'em what to do.
No half way doin's, bredren! It'll
neber do, say,
Go at your task and finish it, an denis
de time to play.
For eben if de crap is good, de rain III
spile de bolls,
Unless you keep pickin' in de gar
den oh your souls;
Keep plowin', and a hoein', and
scrapin' oh de rows,
And when de ginnin's ober you can
pay up what you owes;
And if you quit workin' ebery time
de sun is hot
De sheriff's gwine to leby upon ebery-
ting you's got.
Whateber it's you's dribin' at, be sure
and dribe it through,
And don't let muffin stop you, but do
what you's gwine to do;
For when you sees niger foolin'
den as shores you're born,
You gwine to see him comm out de
small end oh de horn.
I thanks you for de 'tention you has
glib dis afternoon
Sister Williams will oblige us by a
raisin' oh tune.
I see dat Brudder Johnson's 'bout to
pass around de hat,
And don't let's hab no half way doin's
when it comes to dat!
