GOVERNOR JAMES N. GILLETT.
Gillett, Lieutenant Governor Porter,
Senator G. c. Perkins, former Secre-
tary Of the Navy Victor Metcalf and
Nj. H. De Young of San Francisco
Replying to an address of welcome by
Governor Gillett, the president said:
Il must confess that 1 feel like an
optimist. Everywhere in this country
I have found evidence of prosperity
from Boston to Portland, and If signs
do not fail we are upon an era of bust
ness enterprise and expansion that has
never been seen in this country before.
with that I would not have you
forget that there are certain responsi-
bilities. We have had evils growing
out of our prosperity. Men have seized
power by means of accumulation of
wealth and its use in methods that are
not legal and cannot be approved by
way of monopoly and otherwise.
"These abuses were brought to the
attention of the people In a marvellous
crusade by my predecessor, Theodore
Roosevelt, and it is my duty to con-
tinue those policies and to enforce
them as far as may and recommend
to congress that there be put upon the
statute books those laws that shall
clinch the progress which was made
under him, which he preached and
which we all look forward to as per-
manent condition.
But the difficulty is that whenever
everybody is prosperous. when every
body is comfortable, then is the time
when our old friend Satan steps in
and helps along the evil cause. Then
Is the time when we are apt to be
inert and enjoy the things we have
without looking forward In the future
and seeing that the evils will grow
and ultimately swamp us. 1t is to the
people that we must look for an en-
forcement Of these principles.
"You should select your representa-.
tives and have them know you are
watching them In congress and see
that they follow the line OF enforce.
ment.
"Of course we want prosperity, but
we wish prosperity in such a way that
there shall be an equality Of opportu.
nifty among the individuals, so that
everybody will get his share and that
1t shall not be confined to q few who
monopolize the means of production
or the means of transportation and
thus prevent that equality of distribu.
tion which we all like to see."

stirring strains Of "Stars and Stripes
Forever" and as the column halted in
front of the stand colors were dipped

head when the music changed to "Co
lumbia, the Gem Of the Ocean,"

ness many beautiful scenes during

He said the crowds and the cheers

dent receives on such a tour, yet this
fact made them none the less welcome
and none the less inspiring to him.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 5.-Mrs. Henri
eta McGrew insists that there is a
limit to all things, even to the kisses

her until the cruelty stage has been
reached.
In her petition Mrs. McGrew says
that for six months she stood the kiss
ing without murmur, supposing that
in time the practice would be dropped
to a certain extent, but instead Of the
kisses becoming less they have become
more frequent.
She AYERS that while her husband

COMMITTEE WILL
VISIT MINNESOTA
LEGISLATIVE BODY TO iNVESTI.
GATE-DAM QUESTION MEETS
WITH CONSERVATIVES.

Madison, July Is.
The committee appointed at the last
session of tho legislature to make an
investigation Of the dams and water
powers of yhG state, yesterday met
with the committee Of conservation of
industries at the university. Recon-
mendations made by the commission
to the Legislature last February were
discussed. and a protest against that
part of the report Of the comission
relating to the taxation of franchises
was received from George A. Whiting
of Neenah. Mr.. Whiting is member
OF the commission but was unable to
attend the meeting on account of ill
ness in his family. The report of the
commission contained a recommends
ton that the taxing OF dam franchises
be in the nature of lease md that
the money to be derived rom this
source be used for the extension of
the forestry service. Mr.. = hitting as
serts in his protest that it would be
unfair to impose a tax as the develop
ment of waterpower is benefit to the
commonwealth.
The commission will hold another
meeting this morning.
This afternoon the legislative COM
mittee will organize and outline plans
for the investigation of dams and wa
terpowers. Senator Paul o. Husting,
a member of the committee, said last
night that the committee will probably
take a trip through Wisconsin and

the dams and waterpower question,
also secure data on forestry. After
the plans have been outlined this af-
ternoon, the committee will adjourn
and start on its trip next month.

non was attended by President Van
