Defends Administration in En-
forcement of Law and Pre-.
servation Of Popular Rights.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. fS.-Sen-
ator Beveridge. of Indiana. delivered
an address under the auspices of the
Forum Yale University last night.
Mr.. Beverldge. who. speaking on
THE Meaning of the Times" said in
part;
The meaning OF the times Is the
organization of honesty. The nation
is writing into law, for all men to
obey, those rules of fair dealing which
without any law, most men already
obey.
Nothing wrong Is ever made right
without pain. There is no such thing
as a comfortable reform.
Misdirectcd Energy.
We have been busy with material
things, making money. building rail-
roads. sinking mines. occupying land {;
busy with trade and the development
of resources. All this was good. But
finally we became so busy with real
things that We forgot ideal things; so
busy with results that we forgot
methods. Development of resources
too often became exploitation of re-
sources: trade too often became trick
cry: government too often became
graft; building industry too often be-
came Juggling with industry; the
praiseworthy spirit Of gain by fair
methods too often gave way to the
evil spirit of gain by any methods.
Men took and sawed into lumber
forests belonging to the nation. and
called II enterprise: men sold poison
ed food and diseased meat to the peo'
pie to make the stocks pay dividends,
and called 1t finance; men forced Sc
cret rebates from railroads, built pros
porous plants upon the fraud, and
called II industry; men brought the
mastery of cities and states. got cor
rupt privileges and contracts. and
called Il government.
Epithets or Action.
When we stopped the robbery OF
the nations forests, the robbers call
ed 1t paternalism; when we stopped
the sale of poisoned food and diseased
meats. the sellers called II socialism;
when we are trying to stop Ntock
Juggling, criminal rebates, and fhe
like, the jugglers call 1t raid on

COLD WEATHER
BRINGS "HOBOES''

With the advent Of tho cold weather
the knights Of the road" turn their at
tention from the fields and country side
AMI the hay stacks which on summer
nights offered inviting rest, and are
beginning to arrive in the city and apply
to the police for lodgings for the night.
These professional tramps know their
roles to perfection and understand that
in winter the police are their best
friends.
During the last few nights many OF
these itinerants have applied to the po-
lice station for lodgings and they have
been given n space in the warm, cosy
basement, a palace to a tramp, where
they have found It comfortable and con-
ducive to sleep a tramp can sleep al
most anywhere but he prefers warmth
in the cold weather even though the floor
is not soft like feather bed.
The police are rarely troubled in the
summer time with tramps. But in win
ter they head for the city, as migrating
birds head for the South, and in the city
they find that some arrangements are
always prepared to receive them. But
ii they appear more than once at the
station they are charged with vagrancy
and as a tramp loves his freedom he
seldom applies a second time.
